0o Part 3 o0
Klaus was never so anticipated for night. Night or day—it had never bothered Klaus as whatever he wished he would get it.
When he first saw Caroline he didn't imagine that he would end up in her dreams.
From spring it all started, now it was almost end of summer. Every night he had to channel her sub-conscious medium in order to find interesting facts about her.
He thought he would leave her alone, he thought he would be tired of her—frankly, when Klaus heard of her and when smelled her sweet, delectable scent across a lot, he could only think of draining her out of blood and teach a filthy lesson to Robillard.
That was initially.
Now Klaus seemed to bend rules, his personal rules. He wanted to roll eyes at himself, annoyed by the way his emotions blended together.
Feelings are for the weak. And Klaus never wanted to be weak.
But the way her bright blue eyes lit up for every single thing she saw around would give him invaluable sensation. Mercy. He wondered how long he could find the light in her eyes.
He also learned about the girl's love for a mutt, Tyler. Of course, that relation ended long back.
He tried to get into that part. Perhaps, she locked up herself in that area and because of that channeling her memories too much had many possibilities to destroy her mind. Klaus would never let that happen, no way. Breaking her mind meant killing the light. Klaus would hate to do that.
But his instincts were telling him to experiment. A wee, curious smirk crept to his lips watching her pout angrily at her guards, who were following wherever she roamed in the lawn. Klaus settled on the tree which was away from the Forbes mansion.
He learned enough, and now it was time to experiment.
"But that is your birthday present, my lady." Caroline's maid, Lilliana gasped when her mistress released birds from their cage. They tweeted as they flew higher in air.
Caroline chuckled watching them with wide, excited eyes. "Lighten up, Lilly. These are meant to fly, not to stay back in prison."
"But those winged creatures are rarely found," the dark haired hand-maid pouted in disappointment.
"That is my point." Caroline turned to Lilly and grinned. "Preserving them in here is not an appropriate thing to do. They shall live out there, in the wild. That is the only best thing for them."
Lilly sighed giving up, knowing that it was useless arguing with her stubborn mistress. "Lord Lorenzo can expect a strong reason from you when he visits next time, mistress. You should be prepared for that." She said teasingly.
Caroline huffed in annoyance. "He won't be coming again, Lilly." She said getting into her room from verandah. "Lord Lorenzo is a very busy man."
"Yet he is paying visits every now and then." Lilly smirked knowingly, and supplied her with water.
Caroline countered unaware of Lilly's intentions. "That is because he has dealings with father."
"Of course, that is entirely not a lie." Lilly chuckled as Caroline drank water.
Frowning at her maid, Caroline asked. "What are you trying to say, Lilly?"
"He is interested in you, my lady." She said softly after a moment, and touched Caroline's hand. "Can't you see that?"
Caroline blinked at her, expression on her face turning completely pale.
"He likes me?" she responded after having a moment of internal debate. "Or probably he is doing—"
"Don't give room for suspicions, my lady." Lilly admonished softly. "Lord Lorenzo very much likes you. One can see that in his eyes."
"I'm not sure of it." The blonde muttered, a little bit fazed. Caroline never saw Lord Lorenzo in that way. Of course, she knew he was showing special interest by talking friendly to her, knowing about her well-being and all, but—
She changed so much from last few days. Klaus—would be the only reason for that. He had this effect on her mind, and she couldn't even think of other person.
She didn't know how much she was influenced by Klaus. She knew there was some power on her mind and she liked it very much. Her imagination was quite better than people out there.
Caroline shrugged her shoulders slightly, and glanced at her maid.
"We shall think about it later, Lilly. Now," she smiled brightly, "did you bring your clothes for me?"
"It is your birthday, mistress!" Lilly cried in horror.
"Which is why I'm asking you to do me this favor again," Caroline pouted at her friend pleadingly. "I want to enjoy my day, and it has been almost a month since I have not stepped out of this prison, Lilly."
That evening when Caroline returned to home after having splendid day in the woods alone, she climbed up to her room crawled back with the help of long piece of clothing that she hung from the window.
It used to be risky and Caroline used to be afraid of heights.
When she stepped into the room, she spotted Lilly in a corner. Caroline frowned at her friend. "I thought you would have left by now."
"Your father has known that you stepped out of mansion, my lady. He was never so furious before." She replied calmly. "And he removed me from this position."
"What?" Caroline gasped removing her clothes and Lilly helped her to re-dress in her night wear.
"This is going to be my last day, mistress." Lilly's voice was sad.
"Do not worry, my friend. I will speak to him."
"It is of no use. Your father wants to speak to you. He has been waiting for you in his study."
Rolling her eyes towards ceiling, Caroline inhaled sharply in anger. "I really am sorry, Lilly, but I will make sure you wouldn't lose anything because of me." She apologized and earned a stiff smile from her maid before she marched out from her room.
"Do not blame Lilly for things I did, father." Caroline argued with Bill in his study. Huffing out loudly, she stood in front of his desk.
Bill looked from his book and placed his watch glass down. "And what are those things Caroline?" he asked sternly. When the younger one glowered at him he sighed. "You know all those mistakes you have done Caroline."
"Mistakes? Father, do you mean living my life happily?" she asked coldly as she crossed her arms in front her chest. "I regret nothing." She declared.
Bill gritted his teeth as he observed his daughter through squinted eyes. A few moments passed in that heat before he stated. "I thought you would learn one day, dear. And that day has never come unfortunately. So, I made up my mind. You are going to marry Tyler of Lockwood."
"What?" she practically yelled loud enough to vibrate the room. "Tyler is a werewolf father!"
"That is the reason. You need to learn about your duties." He replied calmly. "This is to strengthen the bond between wolf faction and human faction."
"I would like to remind you that Tyler Lockwood had killed innocent humans to become what he is now. So are the others of his kind. They are all beasts—"
"The real beast is out there Caroline!" he silenced her by raising his voice and by slapping his desk. Caroline jerked in her position but she was still glaring at her father. "If we want to win him and put an end for his malicious doings, then we have to improve our relations. And you young lady should know your role and act accordingly. Did I make myself clear?" he asked grinding his jaws together.
Caroline nodded slowly as her eyes burned with anger. "I am just another deal for you, father. I understood that like just fine. Must you know something that I have started to despise you from this very moment, sire." She replied venomously not caring in the world what would happen after that.
"You don't seem energetic, love." Klaus pointed out moving his black bishop on the board of chess game. "I believe arrangements are going on for your wedding. Congratulations are in order." His lips twitched slightly as his words came out of pure wryness. He knew she was so angry with what was going on in her life.
Caroline glowered at him before her gaze fell upon the waterfalls beside them.
Strangely this felt home to her. Though, in the beginning her vision would blur frequently giving her migraine to deal with. Now this whole felt so lively to her, making her wish to stay here like this forever. But it was not practically doable.
It was pleasant in here. In her dreams. Where Caroline could speak to her imaginary character, Klaus and let him know what happened on every day. He taught her to play chess and said that it was his favorite sport. It was odd, learning from the person she created and wondered how he would have known many things which she didn't know about. Ironically she was the one that would lose match every night.
Before Caroline used to think too much and now she tend to believe, to enjoy this time with him.
Klaus was not like other person she had ever met. He was different, very different. His body throughout her dream would vibrate with unusual and powerful energy, and she could feel it.
"I don't like getting married to Tyler, Klaus." She mumbled stretching her legs sideward.
"May I know the reason why?" his brows elevated.
Caroline huffed. "Don't you know that much?" she squeaked. When Klaus smiled slightly and quivered his head, she growled. "You are living in my head, Klaus."
To which he replied with a soft chuckle. "I don't live in your head love, but have I been coming into your dreams."
Sighed, she gave up and murmured. "Tyler is the reason for the death of our friend, Viktoria. We three had grown up together. The night when she turned sixteen was full moon. Tyler killed her along with many and became a beast." She reached out for her white king and played with the top of it. "I was so blindly in love with him." Biting her lip Caroline looked up at Klaus again who was observing her carefully.
Klaus leaned on the grass beneath him and laid his cheek in his palm. "My father wants me to tie knot with him which I definitely wouldn't want."
"You hate Tyler for killing your friend?" he asked calmly after a moment.
"He promised me that he would never trigger his wolf side, and killing Viktoria, our friend was too much to handle." She answered sadly. "He betrayed and is not even sorry for that."
"Maybe you should forgive him and accept your father's idea of playing your duty." Klaus cooed from the other side.
Caroline snorted. "I would rather die than leading a life as such."
"Your argument is?" he asked sounding intrigued.
"You know Klaus." She sighed deeply, moving one of her soldiers to and fro on the board. "I want to explore, I want freedom and above all I want a man who will accept me the way I am, not the beast who wanted to mold me like the way he want."
After her rant when Caroline looked at Klaus she found a strange smirk on his face which used to frighten her in the beginning. Not anymore. In fact it was intriguing her these days.
"What are you thinking?" she asked, feeling her cheeks burn up in red. Yes, Klaus was having that kind of impact on her.
"Wondering how different you are, from the other women I have come across." He smirked lightly.
At that point Caroline lifted up a brow, "Do you visit other women's dreams?" she asked wryly.
Klaus' laughter chimed throughout the surroundings.
"Do you still think I am just a fragment of your dream Caroline?" he asked after his breathing became normal.
Caroline frowned at first unable to understand where he was going. But then she brought a smirk of her own and countered. "Well in that case I really want to meet you in flesh."
His grin turned into a wee smile—barely called as smile, it was. "Be careful what you wish for Caroline." He said his tone hinting something dark and dangerous which made Caroline to think for a moment cautiously.
From those fluttering thoughts, she would clearly state he would never mean harm to her. An instant smile embraced her face. "I am sure that I would not regret meeting you Klaus." Klaus didn't respond to that. Instead he grasped his black queen and inspected it closely.
"Are you sure?"
Caroline grinned widely as she nodded, assured him.
A corner of his lips curved up into strange smile like always as he stated watching the queen between his fingers. "As my lady wishes."
