"What are you talking about?" Caroline asked, finally gathering her strength to stand on her two weakly feet.
"Don't you think I've known what's been going on since I left?" Tyler said, approaching her, making her nervous and guilty. She wasn't ready to confess to Klaus what she felt about him just yet, let alone stand up to Tyler, her boyfriend.
"He saved my life, Tyler, I needed his blood to cure myself" Caroline said, attempting at making excuses, wishing it was enough, but she knew it wasn't.
"You've been drinking a lot more than needed, Caroline. I came across a witch; she had the gift of foresight." He told her, hoping he wouldn't need to tell her more information; he didn't want to stir up painful memories about what he had found out. He dried his sweaty hand palms on his pants, looking at his girlfriend.
"So in other words, Klaus's blood made me immortal because he is immortal?" Caroline asked, trying to set pieces together.
"Only for a short period of time, and as much as you took over time, it made you immortal as long as you had his blood in your system" Caroline could feel the blood rush through her veins. Klaus for the time being, had stood there frozen, unable to move or speak, he just listened to what was going on. As Tyler explained everything he could feel himself able to function again.
"I will rip out your heart by the count of three, the only reason I kept you alive is because of Caroline, but that doesn't seem to matter at this moment, so running would be a good option" Klaus said, angry at him for ruining his moment with Caroline, and for him daring to come back. Tyler was only brave in the times he thought he had the upper hand, and this time he was really being a dick.
Caroline didn't want anything to happen to Tyler, she still loved him deeply. If this had been other moments, she would have been ecstatic to see him before her, but not this time. This moment only allowed her to feel shame.
"Don't hurt him" Caroline said, resting a hand on Klaus's, making him hesitate in his moves.
"Your little boyfriend's well being does not concern me, love, I have extended my mercy a countless times for your sake." Klaus said, trying to control himself for her. If she hadn't been there, or still been unconscious he wouldn't have hesitated ripping his heart out.
"One" Caroline heard Klaus say.
"Leave Tyler, or he will kill you. Don't come back here not for me, not for anyone or anything. Run and hide" She yelled at him as Klaus settled for the number two. Tyler looked at her one last time, hurt and guilt plagued his expression, before he was gone before she could even blink. Caroline let out a breath she didn't know she was holding.
Klaus stood by her side, wanting to run after him.
"Caroline" he heard himself say.
"Don't, seriously" Caroline said, glaring at him for a moment, before going up to the stairs, to his bedroom. She hadn't intended on going into his room, but out of a habit these past few weeks, she had automatically gone up to his room. To not do the shame, walking out of his room again, she stayed. She had enough emotions for tonight.
Klaus felt himself smile as she walked up to his room. She didn't leave, even if she was angry at him. One of the things he liked about her, was her brutal honestly. She wasn't afraid to speak her mind when indented too. He didn't know if he was to give her a bit time, or if he was to walk in. He decided it was best to go in already, thinking she was already in bed. He turned the doorknob and walked in without saying a word.
Caroline could feel his eyes on her, as she was staring intensely at the wall, trying not to think of anything. If he was to say one word, she would flip out. All the anger, heartbreak and tension she kept inside wasn't good for her, but it wouldn't be fair for Klaus to get a lecture from her. She was the blame she thought; the pain on Tyler's face overwhelmed her. She had been the reason for his pain, for her pain of losing Tyler. Were they really done? She had basically told him to leave and never come back for her.
"Come with me, far away from here. We need to go somewhere quiet. Where we can be alone" Klaus offered her, doubting she would say yes as angry as she was. Yet he had to ask her because he needed it. He was afraid, if he was to admit it. Afraid he would lose her by the time the dawn came.
Caroline was about to give him a stupid rant, when his word caught her by surprise. Once again he offered her the world. She wanted, no she needed to leave town. She needed somewhere quiet, where she could figure out her emotions. He was more than understanding when it came to her decision; he knew what she really wanted. Caroline also knew that this was the last time Klaus would offer her this, he would never ask her again. He would wait for her to say yes, but ask again? No.
"Yes" Caroline said, barely a whisper. She was afraid to say it aloud.
"We'll leave tomorrow morning" was all he replied before he carefully held her waist with his hand. He wasn't sure if she wanted him to hold her like he had done the last few nights. Klaus closed his eyes and smiled when he felt her take his hand in hers. No words were needed to be spoken. The quiet is what was required right now.
