I wonder how Klaus is holding up. Wait, no. That's not the point Caroline. He nearly killed you. You shouldn't be thinking this way. Caroline groaned and buried her face into her pillow. Her eyes roamed around the room and finally fell upon the art piece Klaus had drawn for her. Damn it, Klaus. Why am I the only who actually gives a damn about you? Caroline huffed out of frustration.
Does Klaus still have hope on bringing out his humanity? He is human now, isn't he? Is there still the possibility that he might be able to leave his vengeful personality and start anew as a human? Caroline had thought about it, once or twice. A part of her knows that Klaus was capable of showing kindness, compassion, humanity. Klaus has never showed this side of him to anyone, but her. She was the only one capable of changing him. Not Rebekah, not his family, but Caroline- the one girl that Klaus has fallen in love with.
.
Klaus wrapped his bleeding fist with a strip of cotton gauze. He never felt so helpless and miserable. I will find a way to make me a vampire hybrid again. Once I do, it's going to result in a bloody bloodbath, Klaus thought.
"Hello, human Nik," Klaus' head turned at the sound of his sister. "Don't you miss it? Being human?" Rebekah asked.
"I will, get back at them. Maybe teach them something for turning me human."
"Why are you always so vengeful? Being human isn't that bad, Nik. I missed it. Sure, I was a hundred times stronger as a vampire, but there's more to being human than being a vampire. Why aren't you seeing the good side in this?" Rebekah heaved a sigh.
"I didn't want to become human again, Rebekah. I never wanted this to happen," Klaus glared down intently at his little sister. "Just wait till I become a hybrid again, it's going to be a massacre."
"You won't do that," Rebekah said.
"What makes you so sure, sweetheart?"
"Because the only friend you have now is Caroline. And you wouldn't risk what you have with her to kill all her friends. She'll hate you for it. She'll hate you forever."
Klaus blinked in disbelief. "Well, love. I am done having this conversation with you. So if you need me, I'll be upstairs planning my next murder." Klaus took a deep breath and stood on his feet.
Was what Rebekah said true? Would he really give up his murder plan for Caroline? Caroline's words echoed in his head. Anyone capable of love, is capable of being saved. Was he capable of being saved? Or was it the end for him?
.
The sun filtered through the window, signalling the start of a new day. Caroline's eyes flutter open. She propped herself up and stretched her arms. Brand new day, she thought. Caroline got on her feet and drew the curtains. Fresh air filled her lungs, making her feel refreshed and exhilarated.
She slipped into her bedroom slippers and shuffled her way to the shower. She had her day planned in her head. Today, she was going to run some errands and do some retail therapy to take her mind off Tyler. Tyler has gone back to Florida to move in with his cousin. Staying in Mystic Falls would only cause him a greater deal of pain. Almost everything reminded him of his mother. Maybe it's better this way, Caroline sighed and wrapped her slender body with a towel.
"Good morning, sunshine. Let's go and grab breakfast! Come on now, wake up Nik. Let's enjoy our brand new human life!" Rebekah said in high spirits. She went over to her brother's bed and pulled the duvet off him.
.
Klaus rubbed his eyes and propped himself up. His eyes were dull and expressionless. He prayed hard that what happened yesterday was just another one of his bad dreams. He stared glumly at Rebekah. This isn't a dream, all of this, this is real.
It was a lovely walk to the closest eating place. The sunlit clouds drifted across the clear blue sky. This is ridiculous, Klaus thought. He didn't think he would actually be going out in the morning to get breakfast with his sister, actual breakfast, not 'people breakfast'.
"I'll have a latte please," Caroline curled her lips into a smile. She turned her head to look at the selection of pastries till her eyes met a pair of familiar blue-green eyes.
"Caroline," Klaus spoke.
"What are you doing here?" Caroline asked, her eyes were fixed in his gaze. For a moment, she completely forgot that Klaus wasn't a hybrid anymore. "Oh," she whispered, her voice almost inaudible to an average human. "Is everything okay..?" Caroline asked.
"Well, love. I can tell you that it's definitely not going according to my plan."
"I see," Caroline paused. At least you're not dead, she thought. "Well then, see you around." Caroline grabbed her latte and forced a smile. She didn't know what to feel. She didn't know what to say to him, at least not right now. Sure, there were great moments with Klaus, but she couldn't help but think about all the horrible things he has done.
.
"What happened down there?" Rebekah asked, biting into a piece of breadstick.
"Not anything that you should know of," Klaus said. He didn't like talking about Caroline to anyone. He preferred acting like she didn't matter to him, although deep down he knew she did matter. "Rebekah love, eat your vegetables."
"Some things never change," Rebekah said.
.
Caroline's phone buzzed in her pocket. She fished her phone out and glided her thumb across the screen to answer the call. "Hello?" she spoke.
"Hello, Caroline."
"What is it, Rebekah?"
"Meet me at the Mystic Grill at 6 tonight. I need to speak to you in person."
Caroline's eyebrows furrowed, "What do you mean? What's this about?"
"It seems like you're the only here who can fix Nik," Rebekah paused. "Well then, I'll see you later!" She hung up.
What? Fix Klaus? He deserved what happened to him, didn't he? Caroline locked her phone and slid it back into her pocket. "I honestly thought this Klaus thing was over," she sighed.
