A/N: eww I should not reread my work…now all I'm thinking is all Caroline is doing is stomping around like a little whiny elena and all Klaus and Stefan are doing is frowning and watching in amusement…note to self….dont reread own work…this is why I don't write…I'm too much of a perfectionist…
And someone brought up that Alaric said it was more like a dimmer switch…makes me feel better about allowing Caroline to express some emotions
"What if I said I'd turn it back on?" she said, her tongue darting out to wet her lips.
There was silence between them as each of them started to breathe heavier.
"I'd say that I didn't believe you," he said quietly, setting her with an even stare.
"And then," she murmured, stepping closer to him. "I'd say that you're right," she whispered huskily as her eyes darkened with desire.
He swallowed thickly.
She reached her hand up and he froze not knowing what to expect from her in this state.
She reached forward across the mere inches of a gap that separated their bodies and ran her finger down the side of his neck, trailing it across his necklaces. Hooking her fingers through the necklaces, she tugged them, pulling him closer until their bodies were pressed together. She nearly smirked in amusement as she saw his eyes darken with lust.
His pants were becoming unbearably tight. He could smell her arousal spreading between her legs and his was evident and now pressed right up against her stomach.
His breath quickened as her fingers continued over his chest and started trailing lower. Across his abdomen and lower she went, trailing her fingers across the fabric of his Henley. She was almost at his belt when a hand clamped around her wrist, halting her movements.
He stopped her before it went any further. Clearly she was going to try and use sex to her advantage with the switch off. He had been having trouble restraining himself before she turned off her humanity, and this was a million times worse. There were way too many things about this that weren't right. They were in public, firstly. And secondly, he did not want any of their firsts to be when she had her humanity off. First kiss, first time they had sex, first anything was not happening with her in this state. He wanted it to be real, not just for him—he wanted her to desire all of it as much as he did. And as much as he desired to pin her to the nearest tree and take her right there for the town to see, that was not going to happen. At least not yet. And he didn't want anyone else seeing Caroline in the throes of passion, that would be for his eyes only.
"I thought you wanted this?" she asked, hurt flashing through her eyes. As quickly as it was there, it was gone.
"Not like this," he said throatily. He stepped back and took a deep calming breath.
She scoffed as the space between them increased again. As much as she hated to admit it, she missed the warmth of him pressed against her so intimately. There went her plan to seduce him for his blood. She crossed her arms over her chest, a hard look entering her eyes.
"As good as your blood tastes—" she said frostily, crossing her arms over her chest, "I'm not turning it back on for some blood."
He smirked at her unintentional admission that she liked the taste of his blood. His smirk faded as he realized that it wasn't enough to want her humanity back. Who was he kidding, if he had the option of turning it off—would he turn it back on for delectable blood? Probably not.
"What happened Caroline?" he asked her softly. "What could be so bad that you suddenly didn't want to care anymore?" He reached his hand out planning to grab her hand, but she shied away.
"None of your damn business," she said backing away from him. "Why do you and Stefan suddenly care?" she said with a look of exasperation. "Why can't you take a hint?" she asked taking another step back.
She was actually confused, why did they care all of a sudden? All this time and all the shit that had happened to her in the past year—and the instant she turns it off, they suddenly won't leave her alone and let her have a moment of peace? "I said go away, and I mean it—leave me alone," she insisted. "That little girl who was strong and full of light isn't here anymore—the sooner you realize that the better" she said blank faced and flashed off.
He stood there at the edge of town square giving her a moment of a head start. He knew she wasn't going to attack someone. She had just had the chance and had chosen to let the human girl go. It was becoming rather irritating that all the locals were on vervain. He was going to have to either have humans brought in from out of town or blood bags shipped here. Eventually he and Stefan would need to feed as well. Caroline needed to feed, soon—and clearly bunnies were out of the picture for now.
He recalled her saying she wanted to kick Stefan's ass for telling him about Damon, and smirked. Looking around to make sure he had no human observers, he flashed off after her.
He had a thousand years on the baby vampire and caught up to her quickly. She stopped the moment she sensed him beside her.
"Seriously?" she exclaimed in exasperation, throwing her hands out to the side and shooting him a look of annoyance.
"Sweetheart, you forget that Silas is on the loose—most likely in Mystic Falls," he said stepping in front of her to block her path. "I'm not letting you out of my sight when you clearly aren't yourself."
She rolled her eyes at him.
"You're going to be staying at the Salvatore boarding house for a few days with Stefan and me," he said with a grin. And then he would finally get a chance to talk to her. He had been chasing her all over the Salvatore house and Mystic Falls trying to talk to her. Why was she making this so difficult? Although she did say she wanted to eat before she had to sit through another lecture. And she had still hadn't found some blood to drink.
Caroline crossed her arms and scoffed at him. "Yeah—that's not happening" she proclaimed rolling her eyes and just standing there.
"I'll think you'll find that it is" Klaus said as he stepped towards her so that his face was inches from hers. "Now love, you can come willingly—" he murmured, "or— I can throw you over my shoulder and carry you back to the Salvatore's home," he said leaning away from her, amusement dancing in his eyes.
"Yeah" she said cocking her head to the side with a fake grin, "I say neither." With that she spun away from him and bolted.
Yet again, a strong arm around her waist prevented her from taking more than a step. She let out a squeal of surprise as she was lifted in the air and thrown over Klaus's shoulder.
"Really?" she huffed.
"I warned you," he said evenly.
She could practically hear him smirking. Him and all his smirking, she wanted to wipe that damn smirk off his face. This was beyond irritating, she didn't enjoy being manhandled or being kept captive by Klaus and Stefan. But at this angle and her current position over his shoulder, she did have a nice view of Klaus's backside.
"Put—me—down," she demanded, smacking his lower back to enunciate each word.
"Not going to happen sweetheart" he said as he set off walking towards the Salvatore's house. They were nearly there when he had caught up with her moments ago. They were close enough that he chose to walk the remainder of the way. More time with her thrown over his shoulder he thought, his grin growing wider.
"Please?" she asked in a fake whiny voice, hoping that she could use his feelings for her to her advantage.
"Nope," he said joyously
"Ugh," she groaned and smacked him again in annoyance, this time further south. He froze mid-step. She raised her eyebrows.
Maybe trying to seduce him again would make him be forced to let her go. Especially since he didn't want to sleep with her like this—clearly arousing him was not a problem since he had been hard at least three times in the past few hours. He seemed to be trying to control himself around her and jeez she really was torturing him. She grinned. Maybe fourth time's the charm? — He really wasn't that patient of a man.
He resumed walking after a moment of her staying still. She didn't stay still long though. His eyes went wide as he felt her start to play with the back of his pants. She was running her finger down his back and over his behind.
"Not going to work love," he said as he approached the front of the boarding house. He noted the sheriff's car in the driveway but he could tell Caroline didn't as she continued to run her finger from his thigh up to his lower back, and then under the edge of his pants. He walked through the open front door and into the boarding house.
She groaned inwardly, he wasn't even responding. The only indication that what she was doing had affected him was when he froze at her initial smack. Maybe if—.
Stefan cleared his throat.
Caroline froze her movements and looked up—only to realize they were already back at the boarding house. So much for that plan, not that it was much of a plan to start with.
Klaus let her slide down the front of his body and placed her on the ground beside him.
She shot him a glare with her nose crinkled in anger and then turned to face Stefan.
"Mom?"
A/N: I feel like that was really uneventful after the first part…oh well…leave me suggestions! I'm feeling particularly un-inspired today… Since tomorrow is Thursday idk if a chapter will go up! It depends if I get it done before the episode or not…if not I may either be inspired to write a new chapter or very, very angry with Julie Plec (I usually am) and just want to stew in it….
…I already saw that someone else is writing a fic where Caroline turns off her humanity and that definitely discouraged me….
Figured out that I got a whole lot of Negativity Bias going on when it comes to writing….or just life in general lol
Enjoy! And Comment/leave suggestions!
