AN: IMPORTANT: please can you re-read the last chapter. I had some computer errors which switched both my Klaroline chapter as I was updating both my stories and I didn't even notice till someone pointed it out at 23:45 last night (English time). I understand that some of you read that chapter and I apologise.
Chapter 6
After Stefan, Bonnie and Caroline left the bar they walked around New Orleans for a few hours before Caroline asked to be left alone. Bonnie and Stefan were hesitant at first but then they knew she needed a little more time. As Caroline walked around the streets she had time to think about how she reacted and knew that it could have gone better. She had been walking for a couple of hours and didn't even notice when it went dark. She then made her way back to the house.
As soon as she walked through the doors she couldn't see anyone around and with this being the King of New Orleans house she expected it to be packed with vampires. What surprised her though is what she could hear by using her vampire senses. She could hear a little girl laughing and it brought a smile to her face. She followed the voice and it leads her to Kiara's room, where Klaus was tickling her. She opened the door slightly and that's when father and daughter caught her. Klaus shoots her a nervous look while Kiara smiles and tells Caroline to sit on the bed.
As Kiara was tucked in and Klaus and Caroline were sat on either side of the bed at the end she said "Daddy, can you tell me a story?" Caroline shoots Klaus a look and a smile that says 'go on'.
He smiles at Caroline then turns to Kiara and said "the sun and the moon?" Caroline frowns as she has never heard of it before but then Kiara nods her head rapidly like its her favourite. "The moon didn't use to be that high in the sky, it used to float close to the sun, both of them were together. The moon and the sun loved each other very much. Then the sun had to leave, it had to go far far away to help light other people's worlds. The moon was devastated, he cried for days. The sun cried too, she was heartbroken that she had to leave her one true love. But because the sun and the moon gave up their love for each other to help others, the earth promised that she would bring them back together, and every once in a while the earth keeps her promise and the sun and the moon meet again, they play, laugh, love, and when they have to part they always say to each other".
"True love never dies" Kiara said on the verge of falling asleep. As her eyes close, Klaus leaned down and placed a kiss to her forehead. Caroline smiled at the image and of the story. She wondered where he had gotten such a great idea for the story.
She and Klaus stood from the bed and made their way to the door where Klaus turned to light off and they both walked out. They both walked around the house to the direction of their bedrooms and when they stood outside of Caroline's they both leaned on the balcony overlooking the ground floor and she said "I'm sorry for how I reacted earlier".
"You have nothing to apologise for, Love". After a few moments of silence he said "you know Hayley meant nothing to me. It was just a stupid one night stand that was liquor induced".
Caroline shook her head and said "you don't have to explain. I mean come on its not like we were together or anything". They both looked at each other and they could both see the longing in each others eyes that they wanted to be together. "Where's Hayley now?"
Klaus sighed in frustration and said "she left the day Kiara was born. She made it quite clear that she wanted nothing to do with her and that she was a monster".
"That bitch" Caroline exclaimed which made Klaus smile. "I knew she could stoop low but as low to abandon your own child after she was abandoned".
"Love, you can't say anything to Kiara" Caroline gave him a confused look "when Kiara started to ask questions about Hayley I told her that she was dead. I love this little girl more than anything and I can't have her feeling like she not wanted or loved".
Caroline gave him a sympathetic look and put a hand on his and squeezed "you did the right thing. You protect her, even if it's from the truth. That shows you care more than anything, if you protect her from her emotions".
Klaus turned his hand she he held Caroline's and said "as I will always do" they both got lost in each others eyes. Klaus pulled away from the balcony as did Caroline. He placed a hand on her face and said "you know the story is about us. The sun and the moon" She blushed "if anyone ever came to Mystic Falls who knew me before we met, they would have noticed that I was a different man. You made me a different man, Caroline...your light is like my own personal sun".
Klaus started to lean close to Caroline and she didn't move but closed her eyes slightly. But as his lips gently brushed a crossed hers she turned her head. She stared at her door and said "Klaus, I'm-" he interrupted.
He moved his hands away from her and said "doesn't matter. Good night Caroline". He walked away from her before she could say anything. She looked down to the floor for a second before she walked into her room.
~~~~~~~~~~~~It's Complicated~~~~~~~~~~~~
As Klaus walked to his room he ran a hand through his hair as he couldn't believe what he just attempted. He slammed his bedroom door when he was inside and couldn't stop pacing. He never hid his feelings for Caroline and if anyone ever asked anyone from the Mystic Falls gang or his siblings, they would say that he was fascinated by her. What they didn't know was how far his feelings went for her. He would give her the world, he would kill anyone man who had thoughts about her, he would even give up his own life if it meant that she wouldn't die too. He loves her. He loves his daughter. The only thing he regrets is that Kiara didn't come from Caroline. But he would never regret her existence over it.
~~~~~~~~~~~~It's Complicated~~~~~~~~~~~
As soon as Caroline walked through her door and closed it she leaned on the back of it and slowly fell to the floor. Tears started to fall down her cheeks as she regretted what she had just done. She always hid her feeling for Klaus because of Elena but now Elena was gone. Bonnie, Matt and Stefan wouldn't be made at her as they actually got on with the originals. Maybe Elena and Damon dying and her getting bitten were a sign that she should try it out with Klaus. She wanted to admit her feeling for Klaus and shout if from the roof tops but was scared. Miss Mystic Falls was scared of her feelings. Caroline smiled at the thought of that and looked down at her wrist to see the bracelet Kiara had given her. Her smile grew as she thought of the little girl. She was nothing like Caroline would have imagined. She is so full f light, innocent, pure and has not been affected by who her family are. The truth was Kiara was staring to grow on her and as for her feelings for Klaus, well she...she loves him.
