Klaus asked him pouring himself a glass of bourbon "So what is your plan?"

Stefan raised his glass at him and said "not sure. Caroline is thinking of going after Elena. They think that Lenore can still help them"

Klaus sat down opposite him and said in a sarcastic tone "so the plan to kill me is still on"

Stefan laughed and said "apparently"

"And what about you?" Klaus asked him with a laughter

"I am inclined to stay at least one more week. There is something about that guy Kaleb. I believe him. After talking to him today I am thinking of trying Davina again" Stefan said after a while.

"Yes sure. Let's go down that road again" Klaus said sarcastically sitting down next to him seeing Hayley going up her room.

"I has only been four week since I have been searching to get him back. I will keep on looking until I find a way" Stefan said

Klaus said sarcastically "You could always ask my mother to help you"

"Your mother! Why would she help me? She wants to kill you and all of us" Stefan said with disgust.

Klaus stared at him and said "I was joking Stefan"

"Your sense of humor is really improving you know" Stefan said with irritation

"And your's is leaving you" Klaus said sarcastically

Stefan opened his mouth to say something but the noticed Klaus looking towards the door.

He looked up at the sound of footsteps and smiled at Caroline's face.

Caroline said from the doorway "I will be leaving tomorrow"

Klaus got up and walked to her and said sarcastically "I am sorry that I was not any help to you and didn't let you kill me"

Caroline glared at him and then said "we are not done here"

"Yes we are" Klaus said a bit harshly and then as he was leaving he saw Hayley from the corner of his eye and he turned back and said to Caroline with a smile "but seeing that it is your last night here we can have one last night together in peace"

He looked at her ignoring Hayley who was coming down the stair. He could feel her eyes on him but chose not to acknowledge them. He strolled to Caroline and said "so accepting or rejecting?"

Caroline stared at his face. Her eyes diverted to Hayley who was looking at both of them while coming down the stairs and then she nodded.

"What? You are taking her out! Have you forgotten that she wanted to kill our child or you for that matter?" Hayley said in a shocked voice.

"To be clear love, not her. Elena wanted to kill me and our child. But she has died and Elena is gone so that is water under the bridge" Klaus said with a smirk

Before she could stop herself she raised her hand to slap him but Klaus held her hand and brought her close to her and just stared into her eyes without saying anything.

He felt something drop in his stomach when he saw her eyes getting wet. He let her hand go and left the compound.

Hayley stared at him and let the tears fall on her cheek. She came back to earth when she felt someone holding her by her shoulders. She realized that she was kneeling on the ground. She looked up and saw Stefan trying to help her up. She noticed Caroline was nowhere to be seen. She smiled at Stefan and said "I am okay. Thanks"

Stefan said to her after letting her shoulders go "he didn't mean it. He is grieving and that is how he grieves. By being cruel"

"I know" she took a deep breath and then after giving him a smile she went to her room.

Caroline sat in the passenger seat and said to him "you were harsh to her you know"

"How so love?" Klaus said while backing his car

"Talking about your child like that" Caroline said

"Well she is gone isn't she?" Klaus said without looking at her

"You really don't have a heart. What happened to you? You were so sweet in Mystic Falls" Caroline asked in a disbelieving tone

"My child died Caroline" Klaus said with annoyance

She opened her mouth to say something but then closed it when she saw anger on his face.

Klaus stopped the car near Rouseau's and took her inside. Cami looked up and smiled at him.

Klaus led her to an empty booth. A couple of minutes later Cami came with two glasses of bourbon.

When Caroline raised her eyebrows at her she said "we go way back and I know what he wants right now"

She then turned and left. Caroline picked up her glass and sipped it.

She asked after a couple of minutes "So you have settled down in New Orleans?"

"Yes" Klaus said without touching his drink

Caroline reached across the table and held his hand.

Klaus looked at them and then into her eyes which were filled with passion now.

She said "I came here for something else because I had forgotten how you used to make me feel but seeing you all those memories and feelings are coming back. I want to stay with you"

"Caroline right now is not a good time" Klaus said

"You told me that you wanted me in New Orleans. You told me that you intend to be my last. I have realized that I want both of those things" Caroline said squeezing his hand.

Klaus looked at her but he saw Hayley's anguished face. He pried his hand free and got up and walked towards the main door of the bar.

Klaus was walking out of Rouseau when he bumped into a young man who smiled at him. For a second Klaus felt really strange but then he started to leave when he heard Caroline "what are you doing here?"

Klaus turned towards them to hear him say "I wanted to see what was so special about this place that you and Stefan are visiting it"

"So am I to assume that I am meeting the famous Klaus Mikaelsons" he said looking at him.

Caroline looked at Klaus and said "Klaus this is Enzo. He was Damon's buddy"

Klaus looked at him and then shook Enzo's hand still having the same strange feeling of a couple of minutes ago.

"I have to go to the compound Caroline. If you want to stay with your friend you can" Klaus said to her.

As he was leaving Enzo said "it is nice to finally meet you"

Klaus stopped and turned to him and said sarcastically "Then you will be the first one"

He turned and left him standing there smiling at him.

Caroline smiled at Enzo and said "I want to talk to you later. Don't go anywhere. Meet me here tomorrow okay?"

She then ran after Klaus without waiting to hear his response.

She held him by his arm and pulled him towards him and kissed him hard on his lips.

Klaus felt shocked by that kiss. He wanted to kiss her but something stopped him and he gently pushed her away from him and said "Caroline I cannot. I just cannot"

"Is it because of Hayley or Hope?" she asked him angrily as he walked away from her

Klaus turned around angrily and said "Don't bring them between us"

Caroline laughed and said sarcastically "so you have fallen for that wolf. Does she know?"

Before he could stop himself he had his hand on her throat and he growled and then he let her go without saying anything.

Caroline massaged her throat and said "So that was it. You being my last. That was just the talk"

Klaus looked at her and said "Just to be clear I said I intend to be your last not that you will be my last"

And then he turned and left her standing there speechless.

He walked up the stairs and rang the bell.

Flashback

He looked up at Jeremy from a distance and picked up the coffee he has been trying to finish for the last half an hour. He wondered why he had to take the coffee. But he was just feeling bored and he wanted to try something new. He was so lost in his thought that he didn't hear him at first. He startled when the stranger asked him again "so what brings you to Colorado?"

He looked at the stranger and said "Him" pointing towards Jeremy. "I am supposed to keep an eye on him. You know how kids are when they leave their home for the first time".

The stranger smiled and said "You yourself look like a kid to me"

He laughed and said "looks can be deceptive"

"I am Kaleb" the stranger extended his hand to him

He looked at his outstretched hand and then said "I am Kol Mikaelsons"

Flashback ending

Kaleb put the fork down and went to open the door. He looked at him in shock because he was not expecting him there.

"What are you doing here?" he asked him

"You thought I will leave them stranded and not come to help them out" he entered the room.

"Well we both are late" Kaleb said while closing the door

"What do you mean?" he spun towards him and asked

"They tried to kill her but they managed to protect her and now I only know that she is alive but don't know where she is" he said with disappointment

"What do you mean you don't know where she is?" he asked with frustration

"She is not in New Orleans. They are claiming that she died after her birth" Kaleb said

"Why?" He asked in surprised tone

"To protect her probably" Kaleb said picking up his plate to eat his dinner

"So how are you going to protect her when she is not even here" he asked him

"I don't know. I just found out yesterday about her being alive. I am just glad she is alive" Kaleb said

"Do they know?" He asked him

"Yes to some extend" Kaleb said while eating his food.

He then asked him "have you met them?"

"Yes I met Nik today in Rouseau's" he said with a smile

"Did he suspect?" Kaleb asked him

"How can they?" he said "and I don't want them to know until the right time"

He then said "I am off" and left his apartment.

He went to French quarter where he has found an apartment by compelling the person at the front desk. He didn't feel like going to his apartment so he went for a walk. It was late so people were rounding up their items and were packing up to go to their homes. He walked ideally to the far end of the street and then stopped looking at the wall. He walked to it and brushed his hand against the plaque and said in an undertone "you will come home. That is a promise to you by a Mikaelsons. Always and forever"

Klaus entered the compound and then went straight to his room. He stopped as he entered his room. He walked into the room with his eyes fixed on her back as she stood near his bed. Klaus walked to her and realized what she was looking at.

"You know it is rude to see other people stuff without permission." Klaus said trying to keep his voice casual.

Hayley was staring at the paintings when she heard him. Hearing his voice so closed to him startled her. She turned towards him and stared at him for a few seconds. She then said pointing at the paintings "these are beautiful"

"Thanks" Klaus said walking towards the sofa chair and taking off his shoes. He then looked up at her and asked her "do you need something?"

Hayley bit her lips trying to control the anger that was trying to come out and said "No, I just wanted to …" she couldn't finish her sentence as she saw him put his socks in his shoes and taking them to the walking closet.

"Want to what?" Klaus asked him coming out of the walking closet.

"Nothing" she then asked him "why have you kept them there?"

"Because I didn't want anyone to see them" Klaus said a bit aggressively.

He pursed his lips when she stared him and said "sorry I had a long day and with full moon coming tomorrow I am just…"

He went to his bed and picked up the paintings and took them to the corner where he had kept them.

She asked him "Can I hang them in her nursery?"

He stopped in his track and looked at her in surprise.

Hayley felt a sudden rush of emotion for him which she had no idea where it came from.

He nodded and gave her the painting.

"I know you care so why don't you want people to know that you care?" Hayley asked him when he handed her the painting.

"Hope is the only person I care about right now" Klaus said while picking up the book from his bed and turned to put it on the table when he was turned forcibly.

Hayley turned him towards her and said "I know you care about everyone in this house including me. I saw you broken up when I died. I saw you broken up when I was in comma. Why do you act like you don't care!"

Klaus held her from her shoulders and looks into her eyes and said "because caring makes you weak"

"No it does not" Hayley said and then left his room taking the painting with her.
