Caroline stuck her hand out with hesitation as she said, "Caroline." Who exactly was this guy and why did he actually want to help her out. Their hands gripped within each other in the way that made it seemed as though their hands were made to be put together, like a puzzle. Her eyes made contact with his but at the intensity of his stare, she quickly retracted her hand and looked away. "So, exactly who are you?" Caroline asked because his strength was unremarkable and there was a vibe about him that she couldn't exactly figure out.
"Like I said sweetheart, I'm Klaus," he said with the same velvety coolness as before. There was no missing the fact that he had made her nervous when shaking hands and that exact thing made him even more intrigued. Klaus stared at her and then crossed his arms while his lip curled up at the corner a little. "As to who I am beyond my name, that will come in due time love. How about you answer some questions of mine that I have?" He scanned her body again and looked at the blood that was smeared across her face and that had found its way to the top of her chest. "You are obviously just a baby vampire. So, who exactly turned you into a vampire?" He asked and then made direct eye contact with her again.
Caroline didn't like the fact that he wouldn't tell her exactly who he was. There was something about this guy that made her want to run from him yet to him all in the same process. Of course the fact that he wouldn't tell her who he was struck a chord that Caroline had always had –her stubbornness. "Why should I tell you who turned me when you won't even tell me who you are?" She crossed her arms and shifted her weight to one leg –the typical pose of stubbornness. Caroline knew that she probably be stubborn with him because it was obvious he could easily kill her if need be, but for some reason she couldn't fight her stubbornness. She was used to be stubborn in little spurts, but this was like a wave of if that she just couldn't win against.
Klaus smirked again as he watched the girl actually deny him his answer. "Interesting," he said with a small chuckle that escaped from his throat. "Fair enough love. Then how about we skip the questions and start off on your training?" He raised an eyebrow waiting for her confirmation. When Caroline gave a small nod he smiled and then clasped his hands together. "Alright sweetheart, as much as I do find the blood smeared over you ravishing, we do need to get you cleaned up. You can't just be walking around with blood on you; it just might make people question."
Redness appeared to spread across Caroline's face but was thankfully hidden under blood… well kind of thankfully. "Y-You are right," she nervously said as she turned her body away from him. She didn't know what exactly made her feel flustered more; the fact that she was covered in blood or the fact that this really cute guy said she looked ravishing. "I know where the bathroom is, just follow me." A task! That is what she needed. Even though it was a small one –like directing Klaus to the bathroom area- it was something to get her mind off what was happening.
Caroline began to walk towards the area of the public restroom and glanced back to see if Klaus had actually followed her. To her surprise however, right as she went to glance back he had moseyed up to her side. Quickly, she turned back around and walked all the way to the bathroom while trying to ignore his very close presence. To their luck, nobody was in the girls' restroom, only in the guys. "I can do this part myself," she said without looking at him then quickly walked into the restroom and with that Klaus walked to go check out the premises for potential dinner.
Caroline looked at herself in the mirror and tears started to fill into her eyes. She looked like a monster and now she knew that she truly was one. Fighting the fact that she just wanted to break down, she grabbed paper towels, got them wet, and then began to wipe off the blood from her face. As she was wiping, all of a sudden her eyes widened and her hands clenched the sink. "Leave." Her voice was full of authority yet fright.
"Caroline? Are you okay? When did you get out of the hospital?" A voice came from a girl who entered the bathroom. When Caroline glanced up in the mirror she saw that it was Sarah –one of her fellow cheerleaders. Sarah began to step closer to Caroline while said, "Caroline?"
The veins began to show underneath Caroline's eyes and her fangs began to protrude from her gums again. "LEAVE!" she screamed but before Sarah could actually leave, Caroline already turned and pounced on her friend. She sunk her fangs into Sarah's neck and felt the blood rush into her mouth again. Sarah let out a small scream but it seized as Caroline drained more and more blood from the girl.
Blood began to run down the sides of Caroline's mouth as she tried to consume more blood than she could swallow. It ran down her face, then down her neck, then down her chest. None of this could matter to Caroline at the moment however because she was in complete bliss as the blood soothed her throat and stomach. As she continued to drain Sarah however, she felt Sarah's body got lighter and lighter while the blood came less. Caroline couldn't stop until she was yanked away from the body and flung against the wall.
"What did you do?!" Klaus –who had been the one to throw her- yelled towards Caroline as he looked at Sarah's limp body. Fury filled his eyes, but fury at what? It seemed like he was yelling at Caroline, but there was a emotion in his eyes that seemed like he was angry at himself.
"I-Is she d-dead?" Caroline asked as her body shook and tears streamed down her face. Klaus' face lightened a little bit and then he gave a small nod, and began to avoid eye contact with Caroline. "I killed someone… I killed Sarah…." She was starting to go into hysteria at the thought of the fact that she not only killed a person, she killed her friend.
"It will be fine," Klaus said emotionless. "Follow me; we have to bury her body." He then hoisted the dead girl's body over his shoulder and then walked out of the bathroom; Caroline following right behind him still in a panic, but not knowing where to go. She was not safe to be around anyone, so she had to stay near him. She now knew that… she was truly a monster.
