Chapter 18
A/N: This is an AU story for the vampire diaries. I do not own the vampire dairies.
Caroline was sitting on her bed in her thoughts. If this Marcel didn't do all of this than who did? And to think that Bonnie was alive out there somewhere, along with Kol where ever he went. She heard her phone buzz signalizing she had a text. Caroline grabbed it and looked down to the message.
Hey Care, it's been a while I know but it's hard when original dick is following you around the world.
-T
She blinked twice and stared at the text. She was shocked. Tyler had never texted her once since he fled from town. And now here he was talking to her. She glared at the text. He slept with Hayley and had well knocked her up. Did he not know that his slut was pregnant? There was a knock at the door and Caroline looked up.
"Come in," She said putting her phone to the side. The door opened to reveal Klaus. He gave her a small smile before entering the room. "Hi,"
"Hi," He said.
"What's up?" She asked giving him a smile back.
"I wanted to show you something, if you don't mind." She raised an eyebrow before standing and walking over to him.
"What is it?" She asked. He held out his hand.
"You'll see," He said as she grabbed his hand and he led her out of her room and down the stairs to a room. She looked to see him walking over to something that was covered by a cloth. She waits for him to remove the cloth. She gasped staring at it. Caroline knew that Klaus was an amazing artist he had the talent. He could have taught Davinci for all she knew since he was a thousand years old. Caroline stared at the painting of herself in the faded background of the sun or ray of light. She had never seen herself look so beautiful before. She had thought the first drawing that he had given her was beautiful but this didn't even compare.
"You did this?" She asked. He nodded.
"Do you like it?" She looked at him before turning back to it. No one had ever done anything like this for her.
"It's beautiful, you made me look beautiful." She said. He looked at her confused.
"Caroline, you are beautiful. I just try to capture that beauty onto an image. But this can't even compare to what is real." He said. She looked at him curiously. He always seemed to compliment her and despite how she wanted to be disgusted she always felt flattered and something stirs within her when she was around him. Tyler really never acknowledges her like that, sometimes he would not even think she was that smart and that always made her feel as if he didn't know that. Come to think of it Caroline really didn't understand how they had gotten together. It was when she had been drunk and was feeling lustful. Turns out Caroline and Tyler just on one night slept together. She shook that thought from her mind and felt her cheeks burning.
"Right," He shook his head.
"Caroline, I don't know how you cannot see how beautiful you really are." Klaus admitted. Caroline turned to him.
"Well as you can see I have always been second place compared to Elena." She said folding her arms across her chest.
"What do you mean?"
"I mean that everyone has always wanted Elena first and if they can't have her than they go to me. Damon couldn't have Elena so he went after me, Matt couldn't have Elena so he dated me, Stefan was the same. And Tyler really had wanted Vicki or another girl over me. I have always been second best never good enough for anyone." She turned away. Klaus gritted his teeth thinking about Damon harming Caroline. He swore when he saw Damon again he was going to pay deeply for what he did. And he just hated over all thinking about any boy with Caroline. It brought our anger and jealousy. Though he knew they weren't together and shouldn't be.
"Well you not second best to me," He insisted. Caroline turned to him.
"Really? Klaus if Elena was still human and you were still making hybrids would you have chose me over her?" Klaus was about to protest when he realized she was right. He probably wouldn't have.
"At the time probably not, but now I probably would." She turned to him looking at him with curiosity. He would give up his hybrids now if they still had existed. She couldn't believe this man, he acted as if he would do anything to her. He acted no he wasn't a monster. That was the outside of him but inside she saw something different from what others thought of him. And she believed Klaus when those words had passed his lips. In his blue eyes she could see that he was sincere as well as looking deep enough to see something that she hadn't seen before. Not even in Tyler's eyes. Love. Klaus's phone interrupted the moment that seemed to happen between them. He cursed and sighed before answering his phone.
"Yes Rebekah," He said.
"Nik! Where are you?"
"In New Orleans where I have always been why sister?"
"I know that! I mean where are you now?"
"At the house,"
"Nik! Please something has happened I need your help. We're in New Orleans as well."
"We're?"
"Yeah, you see-Matt!- The phone went dead. Klaus looked at his phone before looking at Caroline who had heard the whole conversation and was worried sick.
Elena and Elijah were still at the bar. Elena and Elijah had been talking about his past. Elena was so fascinated by Elijah's past she couldn't help but want to know more. He had been telling her about an adventure he had taken in England. He told her of the King and he had dueled many men back in the day. As he talked about the black death and how a woman and mother had begged him to save the life of her son even knowing the coast of being entirely and being the damned. He still did it because he couldn't take her sobs. Elijah than explained how it becomes easier as you get older to control the urge to kill or drink.
"Caroline's good at that." Elijah nodded.
"She does have somewhat of a friend of mine's personality. She is a strong woman." Elena nodded.
"Who was this friend?" She asked.
"Her name is Alexia Branson. She is a 326 year old vampire." Elena raised an eyebrow.
"Do you mean Lexi?"
