AN: I'm truly sorry to those I said I'm going to update on Halloween. I did plan it but then I got caught up in a Klaroline fanfic I discovered that day called The trouble with spells by ilovetf. Anyway I was planing on posting this earlier but a tech problem happened and I was solving it for freaking 6 hours. Can you believe that? No matter it is here now.

I do not own TVD or these characters. Everything goes to JP except for the plot in this story.

»To sum it up. You are here to reclaim your kingdom from 100 years ago from your former protege Marcel? «

Caroline said as they moved through the doorway into the well protected mansion. All the way to his house Klaus made an effort to explain what exactly was going on in New Orleans.

Of course. What did I expect a cottage? Klaus would never settle for less than grandiose.

The baby vampire thought when they stopped in the living room. Right now she was marveling in the decor. This mansion was nothing like the one they had in Mystic Falls. If anything, it was more grandiose.

»Yes, love« Klaus replied as he watched her while she looked around the house.

»Then why don't you simply kill him? Not that I approve killing people for sport but you are not me. It's not like you didn't do it before and I'm certain you have no moral claims that could hold you back. «

It was true. The original hybrid killed for pleasure and if it weren't for Caroline, the Mystic Falls gang would cease to exist after Kol's death.

»It's not that simple, love ."

She scoffed but before she could say anything Klaus already went on.

"Sweetheart, where are your things?"

The original hybrid desperately needed a change of topic. What she was about the ask wasn't something he was ready for to answer. Not when it could mean losing her forever. So when he noticed a lack of a purse or a bag in Caroline hands he took the opportunity.

"Oh shit. I left them in the cab. Do you think I can still get them back? I would hate to lose my favorite dress." That brought a smile on his face. No matter what Caroline is still Caroline.

"Come on. Let's get your bag back."

He motioned for her to follow him and she did, the previous conversation all forgotten.

"Would you care for a quick tour of the city or dinner before we go retrieve your bag?"

She looked at him with those big blue eyes and replied:

"Dinner. As for the tour. We will do it another time when there is not a bunch of clothes in jeopardy of being taken or worse destroyed."

That brought a smile upon his face. Not because of the ridiculousness over some replaceable clothes but because she implied that she was going to stay here for a while.

"Then I must show you a french restaurant in the center of the town where everything comes to life: people, music, art, culture and more."

"So that is where one of your favorite places is?"

Caroline asked, remembering his phone call. If Caroline's question surprised him, then he didn't show it. With a simple nod he confirmed what she has asked.

"Then I want to see it. While we do that you can tell me about all the other places that are on your list of favorites." She smiled at him.

Soon enough they were sitting outside on the terrace of the restaurant called La Crepe Nanou. It was breathtaking. As Klaus said this place was magical. Live music accompanied by people dancing, artist drawing their feelings on canvas. One place was holding so much life in it.

"It's beautiful."

Klaus watched how Caroline absorbed her surroundings. In that moment he knew why he fancied her so much. Her light was radiating as a bright star on a cloud-free night.

"I'm pleased to hear that."

At that moment the waitress came. Since Caroline didn't know a thing about french cuisine, Klaus ordered for them.

First they brought a dish called Coquilles St-Jacques. At first she was reluctant to eat since these were gratinéed scallops but one bite changed everything. Klaus even dared to laugh at her when she slowly took a small piece big as a pea into her mouth. If looks could kill, he would be dead right then and there.

Next on the menu was Blanquette de Veau. It looked like a vegetable soup only it wasn't. Instead of water you had cream. Caroline only knew one thing, it was delicious.

During the dinner they drank champagne instead of wine. When they brought it to the table Caroline only rolled her eyes. Klaus was clearly trying to make a point that champagne was their thing.

"Still trying to prove your point?"

She teased him.

"There's no need to prove anything, love, when it's true."

He smirked.

For dessert he ordered her a Crème brûlée.

"You know some sugar once in a while doesn't hurt. It's not like you can get some weight on considering our condition."

She chastised him when he pointedly refused to have a dessert for himself. With a frown at her the conversation ended.

"Mmmm. This is good. You should try this."

He shook his head.

"No need love. I'm glad you enjoy it."

"Are you kidding me? If I could I would take a dip in it and never leave." She exclaimed. The hybrid laughed at her ridiculousness.

"Seriously you need to try it." She said as she moved her tea spoon over to his mouth. Before it could reach it, he slightly showed her hand away. The baby vamp frowned when suddenly an idea came to her.

"Try it. Pretty please with a cherry on top." She puppy eyed him. "For me."

Klaus couldn't resist those pouty lips and big blue eyes therefor he nodded as to say 'Fine. Have your way.'.

Caroline almost jumped from her seat as he caved. She moved her spoon closer to his mouth and fed him. It was such an intimate moment that both needed a few seconds before they recovered.

"Now tell me this isn't the most delicious thing you ever ate."

"On the contrary I had much better meals as this."

She ignored his comment.

During the dinner they talked about a lot of things from the history of this town to the charm of the city that lured him in. Once the dinner came to an end Caroline found herself wishing for more.

"Love. Do you want to go and retrieve your suitcase now?"

She nodded and they left.

AN: I wanted to end this chapter on a different note at first but I just couldn't do it. It felt like I would ruin the magic. :) Hope you still like it.
