A/N: Ok only because I had some fans on tumblr begging me to put another chapter up tonight….cant guarantee another chapter tomorrow but here is 2 in one day ;) who knows tho I may put one up tomorrow night at like 2-3 am haha…enjoy…and yes I am switching this to M because I am going to attempt to write some smut in future chapters ;)
Oh and sorry for all the throwing of hands…I feel like Caroline likes to express herself through her hands flying everywhere hahahaha
"Seriously?" she said throwing her hands up in the air in frustration.
She let the lid to the blood cooler slam shut and turned to look at Klaus, her fangs still out, hands on hips.
Klaus smiled at her stance because she looked as if she wanted to scold him for the missing blood bags. Klaus's smile disappeared quickly when he saw her vampire face, he felt his blood rush south. He had to resist adjusting his pants because her face with its vampire features fully on display for him for the first time, was turning him on. He cleared his throat and stepped away from the doorframe.
Caroline watched him and saw him shift uncomfortably. At first she didn't understand why he looked uncomfortable, but then when he stepped towards her with a stiff walk she noticed the slight bulge in the front of his pants. Her eyes widened fractionally before she looked up at him again. If he noticed her stare he didn't show it.
"I'm hungry," she whined bouncing a little as her vampire features began to recede. She was trying to distract herself from his proximity and obvious arousal by focusing on her hunger.
Klaus let out a long breath as her fangs slowly disappeared and the veins under her eyes receded. She had clearly noticed his excitement but chose not to mention it. Did she not desire him? Usually when vampires flipped the switch, they were only concerned with bloodlust and sex. Clearly bloodlust was taking priority he reasoned in his mind.
"Well let's go find you some bunnies," Klaus said folding his arms behind his back. He was amazed with the patience he had for this baby vampire. He was usually easily irritated by baby vampires and insolent werewolves. But this one, he could listen to her for hours— even if it was whining about blood.
"I don't want a bunny," she said crossing her arms and storming past him. "I want blood," she said throwing her arms out as she ascended the steps back to the main floor of the Salvatore house.
Klaus was once again left to follow her up the stairs as she left him in her wake. He took another deep breath to calm himself and cause his arousal to go down before he walked up the steps after her.
When he reached the top of the stairs and followed her scent he found her standing by the front door, blocked by Stefan.
"Stefan— move," she insisted shaking her head at him and trying to sidestep him.
"Caroline, why don't we check the blood bank at the hospital again first?" Stefan tried to reason with her. He knew that she lost control when she fed on humans. She wasn't as bad as him, it's just that she never really fed from humans. The only times she had, they ended up dead. And she ended up hating herself for it.
"I want blood, and you said that apparently all the blood banks in the area have been cleaned out," Caroline said halting her movements and putting her hands on her hips in defiance. He wasn't going to let her past him. She felt Klaus's presence behind her. Her window of opportunity to bolt was closing. So she took it.
"Fine," she huffed crossing her arms across her chest in mock defeat. Stefan relaxed and stepped towards her, but that was all she needed. She grabbed him by the arm and threw him behind her at Klaus. She didn't look back to see if she had knocked either of them over because she was out the door in a flash.
She flashed to the edge of the town square and looked around to make sure no one had noticed her. Coast was clear. She started towards the Grill hoping to find someone that wasn't completely full of vervain from the water supply. Probably someone young would be the best bet. Young kids rarely drank water and chose to drink sugary sodas instead. A teenager would have less vervain in them than an adult.
Not that she really cared because she had been drinking vervain ever since Elijah originally had shown up in town. Compulsion, she was never letting that happen to her again. And so what if it burned her insides as she drank it, at least she was in control of herself.
As she approached the Grill she spotted a girl from her math class. She was skinny, but she would do. Being skinny also meant she probably had metabolized the vervain in her system quicker.
She put on a fake smile and headed towards the girl.
"Hey Allison" she shouted, approaching the girl. She looked confused as Caroline approached her.
"Hey Caroline," the girl said hesitantly, looking around "what's up?"
"Nothing, do you mind coming with me for a moment?" Caroline asked sweetly, walking past her towards the side of the Grill.
"Sure" the girl said slowly still trying to see where Caroline was going with this. "But I only have a minute, I just got back in town from visiting my dad and I have a lot of homework to catch up on," she said following Caroline down the steps and into the alley next to the Mystic Grill.
Caroline grinned, what where the chances that the first person she came across very likely didn't have vervain in her? She was sure Elena never got this lucky. Freshly back in town meant that she hadn't even been near the vervain water supply. And her blood was clean. She stopped at the bottom of the steps and once she heard Allison stop behind her she sprang at her, pushing her up against the wall. Her hand covered the girl's mouth to muffle any screams.
"Be quiet," Caroline hissed her pupils dilating.
Caroline could hear the girl's blood racing through her veins, her heart pumping double time with fear. She was so hungry. She felt her fangs drop and the dark veins emerged beneath her eyes.
The girl's eyes widened in horror as she cringed away from Caroline in anticipation of the attack.
Caroline had been about to plunge her fangs into the girls neck when she froze.
The girl had a look of absolute terror in her eyes that stopped her. She was trembling with fear and acceptance of her fate. It reminded her of the time when Damon fed on her and she was terrified but couldn't escape. When she had known there was no escaping him and that he was going to eventually kill her when he was done using her.
She growled in frustration as she held the girl at arm's length. Her pupils dilated, "Leave, forget this ever happened." The girl nodded and a blank look crossed her features, she had been about to walk away when Caroline grabbed her arm and brought her to face her again. "Drink some water when you get home," Caroline added as her pupils dilated again. Allison nodded with the same blank look on her face and she turned and left the alleyway.
God damn it, even with her humanity off something was still stopping her from feeding on humans. Maybe it was because she had chosen to feed on a defenseless girl. She just needed to find a man, a predator and then she would be able to follow through. She spun around in anger to leave the alley and saw Klaus leaning against the side of the Grill at the top of the stairs. He looked concerned.
"Go away," she snarled at him stomping up the steps and shoving past him.
"Caroline" he said grabbing her by the arm and spinning her to look at him.
"Let go," she growled trying to rip her arm from his grasp but he wouldn't let go.
He was slowly losing his patience with her continuously running away from him. He wanted to talk to her and she seemed determined to ignore him.
"Why didn't you feed on her?" he asked her quietly.
She paused in her attempts to free her arm. She looked to be thinking about it but the resumed struggling against his grip.
"She was full of vervain," Caroline lied coolly as she relaxed her arm, hoping that he would release her.
"You think I cannot detect a lie?" Klaus asked, pulling her close to him so her face was inches from his. "You forget that I am over a thousand years old sweetheart," he murmured.
"Let—me—go," she said in the same quiet voice, enunciating each of her words.
He released her arm.
She shot him an irritated look and then started to walk away from him.
"Does this have to do with Damon?" Klaus quietly called after her.
She froze in her tracks. Klaus frowned as he realized that even with her humanity off, whatever Damon had done to her was still affecting her. So much so that she was having human-like responses when confronted with it. Even with her humanity off.
She spun around quickly and was right back in his face.
"What the hell are you talking about?" she snarled her nose crinkling in anger. "Did Stefan tell you about Damon?" she asked and then laughed bitterly. Of course Stefan was spilling all her dirty little secrets. She was going to kick his ass when she got back to the boarding house.
Klaus almost wanted to smile, he seemed to be getting through to her humanity. But he also wanted to kick himself, because clearly it was only causing a strong reaction because it was a horrible experience for her.
She scoffed when she didn't get an answer from him and turned and resumed walking away.
He stood there for a moment contemplating what to do. He could go track that girl down and take some of her blood. He could find her a bunny. No, definitely not—he was not going to go hunt down a bunny. He laughed inwardly at the absurdity of the original hybrid chasing bunnies through the forest. He could offer her his blood. His head snapped up at the thought and he flashed in front of her.
She ran right into him as he suddenly materialized right in front of her. The collision almost caused her to fall backwards but strong arms wrapped around her waist to stop her from falling. She inhaled deeply and frowned when warmth spread through her belly at the scent of him. Her body was betraying her.
"What if I offered you my blood," Klaus said quietly as he released her from his grip and held her at arm's length. He rolled the idea around in his mind for a moment. "But with your humanity off I don't want a thousand year old hybrid blood in you— it would make you too powerful—too unpredictable."
She felt the veins emerging under her eyes at the thought of drinking his blood. Klaus's blood was the most delectable thing she had ever tasted. And that was an understatement because both times she had tasted his blood she had so close to death that she barely tasted it. She would give up human blood in an instant and forever if she could drink his blood instead.
He saw her eyes darken at the mention of his blood and he immediately tried to think of disturbing things to keep himself from becoming aroused at the sight of her vampire features. Think of walking in on Kol with that hooker. Or ripping off his hybrids heads. He let out a deep breath as he focused on her face. Dammit, too late. He felt himself go hard again at the sight of her fangs peeking out between her perfect lips. Her close proximity was not helping.
"But only if you turned it back on," he said gently, giving her an ultimatum.
"What if I said I'd turn it back on?" she said, her tongue darting out to wet her lips.
A/N: tehehe Klaus seeing her vamp face=turned on lmao, and shes all like hmm he smells good—shit this is still Klaus (clearly I'm bad at writing a completely void of humanity Caroline because shes just too bright and bubbly to be as cruel and humanityless as ur average vampire)…..one of the reasons Klaus is so drawn to her is because she is just oozing humanity…and a vampire with that much humanity wouldn't be completely void of it when they flip the switch…that just my way of reasoning with myself that its okay she is showing emotions ;)
