So I finally have an update! Sorry it to so long again! And thank you thank you thank you corn the reviews! I get so excited whenever I have a newborn review. You guys are the sweetest! Again any advice, feedback, or suggestions are always welcome!
I alpologize for any mistakes. I edited quickly and I don't have a beta reader.
Klaus was in his study with a canvas in front of him. He couldn't get the image of Caroline covered in blood out of his head. But not her naked body, even though he wouldn't object to seeing that again, but her face covered in crimson blood was beautiful. He couldn't help but paint it once he started. Seeing her feed once he turned her with blood running down from the corners of her lips was one of the things he looked forward to most.
Just as he put his glass of scotch to his lips he heard his front door open. With a sigh he set the glass back down. Clearly Rebekah could not listen to anything. All he wanted was to be alone for the night. He slowly walked out of his study and towards the front door.
"Rebekah, sweetheart, I asked to be alone. Can't you listen to..." He was cut off by a very different blonde standing inside the entry way. She was too busy looking around to even noticed he appeared even with him talking to announce his arrival. She was swaying back and forth a little; he would have been concerned but he could smell the alcohol on her. "Caroline."
The sound of his voice so close and saying her name startled her and with her uneasy balance she almost fell over. She was looking around adoring the staircase again that she first saw him on and didn't even notice he had arrived to the entry way. "Klaus." Her speech slurred a little. She was definitely more drunk than she thought. "I think we need to talk."
Her voice was stern despite her slurring a few words. Klaus was in no mood to argue about anything, even with her tonight. As much as he wasn't technically mad at her, he was still angry he was down two hybrids. He had made a deal with Elena and what little of her blood he had left he was saving for Caroline (Just Incase). And he wouldn't be able to get more just yet without breaking that deal. As much as he didn't care for the girl or following rules, the agreement kept things civil and he didn't have to make pointless arguments and pointless fights with baby vampires so the deal stayed. Caroline just couldn't keep killing his hybrids and his stupid hybrids needed to learn to one: stop listening to Hayley and two: stop being such idiots. "Love, I am in no mood to argue with you so if you could please just get out what you need to yell at me about and be on your way."
"I came to thank you." The sincerity in her voice and the words 'Thank you' made him look her her confused, what did she need to thank him for? Why was she thanking him? Caroline must have noticed the confused look on his face and continued "I was drinking with Kath..." Even drunk Caroline knew not to mention Katherine to Klaus. She heard the stories; either Klaus would demand to know where she was and be angry at her for spending time with her or Katherine would find out she mentioned her name to Klaus and come kill her. "I was drinking with some friends and things just clicked in my head."
Klaus caught her slip up and almost mention Katherine's name. Everyone in this bloody town underestimated him, even his pathetic excuse for a brother, Elijah. They really thought he didn't know she was in town. Katherine of all people thought she was hidden. He was a little disappointed in her, she had been running for so long she had gotten smart and cunning and he respected her for that but clearly shacking up with the Salvatore's clouds judgement.
What he didn't get was why Caroline would confide in her, another doppelgänger, they weren't worth her time. Although if he had to admit it, which he never would. If he had to pick his favorite of the three he knew he would go with Katherine. Tatia was just a whore who tore two brothers apart, but he later found out that's just part of the doppelgänger charm. Katherine may have ran from him and made him wait for 500 more years to break the curse but she was smart and he couldn't help but take credit for her evil manipulated ways. Elena was just boring and a martyr but yet still self absorbed like the rest of doppelgängers. The sound of Caroline's voice brought him out of his moment of comparing doppelgängers.
"You were there for me when none of my closest friends or boyfriend were. You didn't even know me and you called a witch here to get me out of my house." Caroline wasn't looking at him as she talked, she couldn't. Her intoxicated brain kept telling her to shove him against the wall and kiss him every time she looked at him but she couldn't; could she? No! She wanted to get out what she needed to say so she continued to walk around and focus on the little trinkets he had everywhere. "I slap you and then a few days later you take me out to the woods so I don't have to chain myself up. My half assed thank you at the party and then my half assed thank you when you took me home were not good enough."
Klaus didn't say anything he just stared at her. What could he say? You're welcome? That wasn't enough. But what else would he add? He was in a terrible mood when she arrive and he was not expecting this when he seen her at his door. Sure he was no longer in that terrible mood but still what would he say? So he just looked into her eyes.
"Say something!"
"You're welcome, Caroline." He could have kicked himself. He kept yelling at himself to say something else, anything else but he couldn't. He still didn't know what to say to her.
All of the color practically left Caroline's face. She was here being nice and sort of pouring herself out to him and all he said was you're welcome? She didn't know how it happened but she was directly in front of him yelling. Maybe a few inches from his face. "You're welcome, Caroline. Really?" She tried to imitate his accent the best she could and it caused him to chuckle a bit. "That is all you are going to say to me when I'm here apologizing and thanking you?"
If she was going to crowd him he was going to do the same thing. She was drunk and he shouldn't have but he couldn't help it. Unlike her crowding him to yell, he chose to flirt with her. He leaned closer to her so the few inches separating them practically became none existent. He expected her to back away but she didn't; she just stared up at him like she hadn't noticed his lips were almost touching hers. Or she was really that drunk and really didn't notice? He licked his lips before he spoke and the tip of his tongue just barely touched her lips and it seemed to get her attention. But instead of pulling away like he expected, her eyes shifted from his down to his lips which caused him to smirk. "I was going to offer you to join me for a drink but I'm afraid you've had too much already."
He spoke barely above a whisper but the sound of his voice sounded so seductive she couldn't ignore it. Yes she was drunk but if she was sober she would never allow herself to do this because of her friends or Tyler. So she fully planned on taking advantage of being here and having drank so much. She pushed up on her feet slightly and pressed her lips to his.
It took Klaus only a second to catch on to what was happening. The moment her lips touched his, his hands went to the sides of her face not letting her move away. It was wrong, he knew she was drunk but she was giving him something and he wasn't going to turn that down. He backed her slowly up against the wall behind her never breaking apart from her lips. When her back hit the wall she let out a small gasp and he wasted no time slipping his tongue past her soft lips into her warm mouth.
The moment his tongue slid into her mouth she started to battle with her own tongue for dominance. Just by kissing him she could tell she was kissing an alpha. Tyler always acted like one but he never tried to be one. She was always the lead on practically everything. Kissing Klaus was like fighting for the alpha spot and she loved it. He was rough but gentle at the same time. He let her think she was winning and then he'd put her back in her place. She had never been so turned on by such a simple thing as kissing in her life. But this was no simple or normal kiss, it was amazing. She could get used to this.
Caroline was to busy enjoying herself and getting lost in his kiss that she didn't realize that he ran his hands down her legs to lift her up. She only just noticed once her legs wrapped around his waist practically on their own. She started to grind her hips against his pelvis which caused him to pull away from her lips. She laid her head against the wall out of breath wondering if she did to much moving her hips. He was just staring at her until a second later when he was biting into his wrist.
"Drink this. Please." Klaus had his wrist bit open and was holding it in front of her as his blood ran down his arm. His eyes were pleading and she knew this was as close to begging as she would ever get from Klaus. He had eyes that she knew he could ask her to murder an entire town and she'd do it just to please him. Not because she would be sired to him, not because he compelled her, and not because he would be her alpha, but because of the feelings she had inside of her right now that wanted to make him happy as long as he kept her happy in return. But she wasn't ready to be a hybrid yet. But she couldn't bring herself to say no so she avoided it.
Caroline bit her lip and started to grind her hips into his pelvis again making him growl. "I thought you said I could pick what body part I get to drink your blood from?" He must have liked that she remembered how he described turning her because it brought a smirk to his face and he brought his lips back to her's.
Kissing Caroline was like coming home to him. He's kissed a lot of women in his long life but nothing felt like this. He knew she was his mate the moment he stepped foot in this town and confirmed it the first time he seen her. She wasn't ready to accept it and he wasn't ready to admit it out loud yet. So he would take what she would give him until he could push himself and her to admit it. They were mates, they would be the alphas of any pack werewolf, vampire, or hybrid, they would eventually be partners in crime.
Feeling her hands push his shirt up his torso made him pull away so she could pull it over his head. He let her roam her hands over his chest like she was mapping it out before he leaned in to kiss her again.
He barely touched her lips before someone else walked in his house interrupting them.
"Klaus, I just wanted to let you know.." the Hyrbid looked up from his phone to see a shirtless Klaus with Caroline's legs wrapped around his waist. "Oh shit, sorry I can come back. I was just letting you know the new wolves are on there way to town."
"I should go." Caroline licked her lips looking over his chest one more time and then untangled herself from him. "I really need to get back to school at some point." Caroline couldn't believe she actually did that. Sure she wanted to kiss him, hell she wanted to jump his bones the moment she laid eyes on him. But she literally just broke up with Tyler hours before now. This wasn't her. So after she said her crappy goodbye about getting back to school she snuck out the front door as Klaus talked to the hybrid.
Great, if that damn hybrid goes and blabs to Tyler he is going to kill me! She took a deep breath trying to tell herself Klaus would handle it and she started to walk home. She really needed to sleep off this alcohol and get back to Whitmore.
Klaus turned around from talking to the hybrid just in time to see Caroline slip back out the front door. His jaw clenched pissed off. He couldn't figure out if she snuck away because the hybrid interrupted them or because he was pushy with trying to get her to drink his blood. She wasn't ready and he knew that, but he was still going to try and get her to turn before the full moon next month.
He turned back to the hybrid and grabbed him by this throat. "You speak a word of what you walked in on and I'll tear out your organs one by one saving your heart for last." When the hybrid nodded he let him go with a shove. "Keep the wolves happy when they get here. Don't screw up."
Caroline woke up the next morning a little foggy. She remembered her entire night but was blanking on how she got to her bed. She wanted to feel guilty for last night. She tried to force herself to feel guilty for having such a good time with Katherine instead of Elena, she wanted to feel guilty about kissing Klaus and probably doing more if the hybrid didn't interrupt them, and most of all she wanted to feel sad about her and Tyler ending things. But she couldn't. She didn't feel guilty for being herself around Katherine, she wasn't afraid of being judged by Katherine like she was with Elena. She didn't feel guilty about kissing Klaus because it has never felt so good to kiss someone in her entire 20 years of life! And why should she feel sad about breaking up with Tyler when as soon as he turned he became a different person, an inconsiderate mean person.
Choosing not to dwell on the events of yesterday too much she kicked the covers off of herself and decided to take a shower. She needed to mend things with her mother. Or at least apologize for the way she spoke to her the day before.
Caroline took her time to try to clear her mind as she washed away the alcohol stench that was left behind from the night before. After her shower she dried her hair, didn't bother with putting any makeup on and wore a casual pair of dark skinny jeans, a tank top and jacket.
She came up with the idea in the shower to take her mom a homemade lunch. Her mom either skipped lunch or got something greasy from whatever place would deliver at the time.
Going down the the kitchen Caroline found stuff to make her mom a sandwich, grabbed a few snacks and brewed a pot of coffee to take a fresh cup with her. After the sandwich was made she place everything in a small lunch box she found, it was probably from when she was in elementary school, and poured coffee into a to go coffee cups they had laying around, no cream or sugar just black like her mom likes it.
It wasn't a long walk to the station. She had to remind herself to stop leaving her car places. Now she had to walk all the way to the Salvatore's to get her car. She was so caught up in her thoughts about her car being left places and why that she hadn't realized she was already in front of the station.
She walked inside walking right passed a few deputies, giving them a wave as they said hi, right to her moms office. She looked like she just got back and her back was to Caroline so she gently knocked on the open door.
Her mom immediately turned around and smiled when she seen her. "Caroline what are you doing here?"
"Well I figured you probably have been working all night and I know you didn't eat anything good for you so I made you lunch," he held up the lunch bag in one hand, "and black coffee just how you like it." She held up the cup of coffee and smiled at her mother.
Liz smiled and took the lunch and coffee that Caroline held out to her and set it on her desk. "Thank you, Caroline. You didn't have to go through the trouble of doing that. I could have ordered something."
"I know but I wanted to. And I wanted to apologize for yesterday morning." She looked down at her feet for a moment replaying the small argument they had and she felt bad. They had gotten over all the resentment and were in a good place and then Caroline just starts saying mean things.
Liz smiled at Caroline knowing her daughter was beating herself up inside for s few mean words. "Caroline, it's fine sweetie. It was the morning after you turned. You are always a little mouthy I shouldn't have pushed the issue. Especially when I had no idea how the night went." Liz was in front of Caroline now and placed her hands on her shoulders. "I just want you to be careful with Klaus. And you can't blame me. You seem to be the only one in the town that has nice interactions with the man, and I've known Tyler his whole life of course I'd root for him but if he doesn't make you happy then I support your choices."
"Mom, I love Tyler. But from the minute Klaus turned him into a hybrid he's been different. And okay maybe I should be mad at Klaus for turning him but I've talked to Stefan and Damon before and they both agreed that turning into a vampire doesn't change who you are it just amplifies everything. So I was prepared for increase in his anger," Caroline shrugged her shoulders a bit, "but he's on a power trip. He's trying to control me and telling me who I can and can't hang out with but he's allowed to entertain whatever girl he wants. He thinks he's Alpha and he's not." Caroline paused looking back up to her mom as she finished her sentence the same time her mom spoke to finish Caroline's sentence. "Klaus is."
"You are." Liz was smiling at her.
For the second day in a row someone spoke the same time she did and their response shocked her. "Wait, what do you mean I'm the alpha?"
"I don't know much about werewolves and wolf packs but I do know there used to be a pack in Mystic Falls. Your grandfather was the alpha. Your father never triggered his curse. I'm the sheriff which basically makes me the alpha of the police force. You have alpha blood in you. You take charge of every committee you join. If that pack was still around I would have no doubt you would be there alpha." Liz noticed Caroline's brain going on over drive so she walked over and hugged her. "I may not like the man but from what I've heard of others around town that have seen you two together, Klaus knows your an alpha but the difference between him and Tyler. Klaus seems to enjoy you being an alpha, he respects it. Tyler would love nothing more than to diminish your alpha attitude, he wants you below him. And it's not his fault; he learned it from his father. But I want you happy and yourself, not someone's trophy wife or wolf or whatever. Liz laughed a little and so did Caroline.
"Thank you Mom. I didn't know that about grandpa and the pack." Caroline hugged her mom a little tighter before letting her go. "I really need to get back to school though so I'll try and come home again next weekend and we'll do something!"
After saying goodbye to her mom Caroline left the police station to head towards the Salvatore's to pick her her car. She inwardly groaned at herself realizing she would have to walk to her car and then drive back home to grab her things she needed for school and then finally leave to head to Whitmore. It wasn't a far drive but she was just ready to be out of this town for a few days.
She didn't get very far, maybe a few blocks just outside of the Main Street of town before she seen Tyler. Great! Of all days why couldn't today be a day that Klaus kept him busy doing something. She planned to ignore him and just play it off like she didn't see him but he was heading right for her. His eyes already that hybrid yellow. He knew. The human part of Caroline told her to run. Yes he was faster than her but run and give yourself a chance seemed better than the alternative. But she was a wolf, she wasn't prey. She stood her ground as he walked up to her face to face.
For a while he said nothing just staring and breathing heavy with anger. She also said nothing. The silence was deafening but the moment he started speaking she missed the silence. "So how did last night go Caroline?"
Caroline debated on what to say. She didn't own him and explanation so she played dumb. "Um, it was good. I was upset a little how we ended things so I went to find Elena to talk but I found Damon and Katherine instead and got drunk with them."
Caroline seen his eyes flick over to something behind her so she spun around immediately and Hayley was standing there. Too close for comfort but she was unable to back away or she'd back into Tyler's chest.
Caroline was now terrified but she refused to let them know that. They were circling her and playing with her like she was their prey but she refused to cower like a rabbit caught between two wolves.
"I think you forgot to mention the part of your evening when you had your tongue down Klaus' mouth." Hayley spit out looking just as angry as Tyler. Why was she angry? Caroline was now out of the way and she could have Tyler or did she not want Tyler and was just using him until she got Klaus? Interesting.
"I don't think that part of my evening is any of your business." She has barely gotten the sentence out of her mouth when Hayley grabbed her by the throat. It was like deja vu to when Rebekah grabbed her by the throat about a month ago. This was going to get real old of people kept choking her.
"Tyler has become a good friend, you hurt him. And most of all I don't get what the hell Klaus sees in you." Caroline could hear the disgust in Hayley's voice when she talked about Klaus liking her. "A weak little blonde cheerleader. Nothing special to me."
"Are you jealous?" Caroline choked out the best she could. It out Hayley over the edge and her eyes turned just as yellow as Tyler's. Speaking of Tyler he wasn't doing anything. He was just letting this bitch choke her like this was the whole plan to begin with.
"I suggest to let go of Caroline unless you'd like to find your head not attached to your shoulders, Love." Caroline looked behind Hayley the best she could manager without being able to move when she heard Klaus' voice. Of course he was here. For some reason she didn't want to look weak in front of him and this made her look weak and pathetic.
But Hayley's face was distracting Caroline from her thoughts of being weak. Hayley was wired to Klaus, they all were, she should have let go of Caroline the moment he said something but she was holding back. She was struggling with herself and Caroline couldn't figure out if she was struggling against the sire bond to no obey him or if she was struggling with herself to force herself to obey him.
Finally Hayley let go of her throat and she took in a deep breath gasping for air.
"I thought I told the lot of you to leave Caroline alone or you die?" That comment made Caroline wonder about Hayley's struggle even more. If they were already told to leave her alone they shouldn't have even searched for her in the first place. Something was up.
"That was before you fucked my girlfriend." At Tyler's harsh words Caroline whirled back around to face him.
"So you think I sleep with the enemy and instead of you arguing with me like a normal couple would you though having your side girl attack me was a better idea?"
"Who the hell are you calling a side girl, bitch?" Caroline laughed to herself at Hayley's words. She was so over this. She had an amazing talk with her mom and an overall good day and these assholes were ruining it for her.
Caroline slowly turned around to face Hayley one last time and smiled. "You." It was the only thing she said before Caroline reached up and snapped her neck.
As Hayley dropped to the ground she glanced up to see a small smirk on Klaus' face but she didn't want to acknowledge it. She decided to turn around one last time to face Tyler. "What happened today and out in the woods will NEVER happen to me again. I will not be left weaker than you anymore no matter what I have to do or become. And who I do or don't sleep with is no longer your business; don't send your guard dogs after me." She turned her head to the side a bit to see if Klaus was still standing there and of course he was. She let out a sigh. "Don't follow me."
By the time Caroline had gotten to her car she was actually surprised Klaus listened. He hadn't even called her which she expected him to do but was so glad he didn't. Although she was curious as to what happened between him, Hayley and Tyler once she left, but once she was out of Mystic Falls town limits she left all of those problems behind.
She wasn't sure if she would be in her dorm room alone or if Bonnie or Elena would have decided to show up at all but either way she was just happy to get away.
Walking into her dorm room she noticed most of Elena's stuff was gone. She dropped her bag in the doorway in disappointment. Was Elena really dropping out of school and not telling her? Was Bonnie doing the same thing? Just as the thought crossed her mind she seen movement to her right in the room.
Bonnie was sitting on her bed with a bunch of witchy stuff spread around. From what Caroline knew of witch stuff she noticed the crystals and sage smudge sticks but other than that she had no idea what some of the stuff was. "Hey, Care." Bonnie smiled softly at her. "I was hoping you would come back to our dorm. I wanted to apologize."
"Bonnie it's okay." It wasn't okay but Caroline loved Bonnie and wasn't going to hold a grudge over her head forever."
"No it's not. I locked you in your house for weeks and then we all just ignored you! I was so focused on keeping Elena safe that I just took the easy route with you so I didn't have to worry about you." Bonnie did look sincere and actually sad which made Caroline feel better. It wasn't just some words she was saying, she actually meant them. "And you called me last night looking for me and Elena and I never answered. Did you end up finding Elena?"
"No she was out with Stefan so I just hung out with Damon for a little bit." Caroline didn't think it was the best idea to bring up getting drunk with Katherine or going to see Klaus so she kept that part to herself.
"Well I've been working on some new spells, for fun not life saving ones or anything. How about I show you a few and you tell me all about this breakup with Tyler I heard about."
Thank you for reading! :) I hope you enjoyed it! I'm already in the works of the next chapter but don't hold me to a fast update because I've been failing at that in the oast but I'm going to try! Spoiler: more Katherine and Caroline friendship coming up in the next chapter!
Please review! :)
