Chapter 4;

His reply surprised me, but in a twisted way it was sweet. "Have you ever done this for anyone?"

He smiled, "Actually no."

He knew what I was getting to; the reason why this was all happening. "Klaus, why me?"

He paused, and looked up at me. "It gets lonely in a war against forever." I perked up, giving Klaus my undivided attention. "I want to share it with someone."

In that moment Klaus was whole. My eyes did not begin to believe he was a monster.

"So what's in Paris?" I asked him. "Lots, my love. There's historical landmarks, fine dining, and the exquisite view of the cities." He continued in great detail of the wonders outside of Mystic Falls.

"Would you accompany me?" He inquired in a silent whisper.

I was quiet. I had this feeling-one I have never experienced before.

After our museum date, Klaus and I went back to my home. As we arrived, my lights were still on, which meant Elena hadn't moved. I was late, but for once I didn't worry.

"Thank you for letting me take you out," says Klaus. His eyes were bright and had no evil in them.

"So, see you next week?" "Promise."

I walked toward my door and looked back to see Klaus still sitting there. "Goodnight, Klaus," I called out closing the door behind me.

"Elena?" I yelled throwing down my keys on the nearby table. "Oh good you are back," I saw her coming down my stairs.

She seemed distraught with the thought I had gone on my first date with Klaus. "I'm glad he didn't snap your neck," Elena breathed. I stared in confusion toward Elena.

She turned to me and shrugged, "What?"

"You don't even need to judge. He's a nice guy to me, and I was doing this to make him leave me alone- I mean he is still a big badass vampire."

Elena approved of what I had just said. She probably thought it was looking out for everyone's safety including her own. With that, Elena headed out my door slamming the door behind her.

Klaus' POV;

It was eleven in the afternoon. I was supposed to meet up with Caroline around one, so I assumed I should start to get ready. "What are you doing, Niklaus?" Elijah questioned me as I pulled out my old luggage which I first got back in the 1800s. It was located in the back of my closet.

"Taking a trip with someone across country," I replied, placing a few pairs of pants into the biggest piece of luggage.

I continued packing as Elijah continued to stand there and doubt my decisions. I threw my old loafers at the bottom and worked my way up with more clothes.

"Is it Miss Forbes?" Elijah questioned my actions. I was mum.

"Oh so, Caroline Forbes has stolen your heart," says Elijah replied to the silence in the air. "Well no one will approve, brother." "Who, Elijah? I do not care, let my family grieve over my new relationship," I snapped at Elijah. His face turned cold.

I knew my opinion made Elijah's feelings for my change.

"Do what you want, Niklaus, but leave that Caroline alone, there will be trouble and turmoil."

"Then let it be."

I wheeled my luggage into the den side by side each of them. Elijah and Rebekah stared. "Why are you doing this?" Rebekah asked me. I looked up at her after zipping up the final piece of luggage.

"I've found someone, and I want to strive to make them happy."

Rebekah scoffed at me, walking out of the room. I knew she was disgusted by me, but I was okay with that.

Elijah had nothing to say. He just looked at me, "When will you return?"

"A week or two," I replied.

"Then I guess you should be on your merry way," Elijah yelled to me after leaving the den.

I grabbed my luggage and headed out to my car.

"You ready to go?" I asked her as a smile appeared on her face. "Almost."

"Did you tell anyone?" Caroline asked. "Elijah found out," I answered. I hated leaving out the little detail of Elijah telling me to leave her alone. I was planning on ignoring Elijah and the rest of my family for Caroline's sake.

In a way-I was disgusted. I finally found someone I fancy and no one wants it for me like I do.

"Klaus?" I heard Caroline call. My ears perked, hearing her voice call to me. It

"Yes, love?" I asked.

"You can wait downstairs if you like," says Caroline. It was sweet-inviting me in and wanting me to stay. "Alright, I'll these pieces since you are done," I replied to her.

I grabbed the luggage she had already packed up, and headed off.

"Thank you, Klaus."

I smiled walking back down her stairs proceeding to wait on Caroline.
