When Klaus turns around to face her, is a shocking face looking back at him. He can see thousands of emotions cross her features; anger, joy, hurt, angst. But Klaus, he feels nothing, he felt nothing when he ripped out that heart, no regret, no pity. But when he looks into the face of this angel, he feels. He has seen beautiful women over the centuries, but this one, she has something special, he can see that she's been through a lot. He can also recognize a bit of himself in her; he can see the loneliness... She is also quite feisty, he has always liked that. When she tried to compel him… He feels a laugh rise, but he hold back. Nobody's tried to do that, ever, not with him. And if they did they would certainly not make it out alive. He watches her as she pulls out the stake out of her side. "So…," he began. But she cuts him off.
"Why did you do that?" He rolls his eyes. Isn't that obvious. He doesn't answer.
"Were you running from him?" She stiffens. So yes. "Why? Tell me, tell me the whole story?" He demands. She looks at him angry.
"Why should I tell you?" She exclaims. "It's not like I know you?" She stands on. "What do you even care?" Touché, he doesn't even know it himself. He has never cared a lot over the centuries, so why now, about a random stranger, a baby vampire? He just told himself he was bored, and that's why, even though he knows that that wasn't the reason.
"Let me introduce myself, love, I'm Klaus, Klaus Mikaelson," He grabbed her hand and places a soft kiss on the back of her hand, a kiss who barely touched her hand but made her blush. She looks at him weirdly before she takes her hand away.
And then she mutters: "Caroline Forbes, my name is Caroline Forbes." It suits her that's what he thought, an angel, full of light, named Caroline Forbes.
"Well Caroline," He smiles at her, an genuine smile. "We aren't strangers, anymore," She giggled. Oh, how he loved that sound.
"And I don't know why I care, but I do," I'm bored, I'm bored, he tells himself all the time, because love is a weakness, and he isn't weak. "So why don't you let me help you?" She seems to think, he can see that because her brow is furrowed, he began to notice little things about her; how her hand goes through her hair when she is nervous, how she likes to have control over a situation, much like himself. But then he is taken out of his thoughts, as Caroline starts talk.
"Okay, okay," Yeah. "But on one condition, you tell me about yourself too," Tum tum dum, Klaus stiffens. It's been a while since someone asked such a question. But he nodded carefully. Then she smiled at him; "Alright, but let's talk somewhere else, you know we are in the middle of a road," She chuckled. She's right, let's go somewhere quieter. Then he grabbed her and hold her against her, as he raced in vampire speed to the Mystic Lake. He couldn't help but notice how perfect her body feels against his, he certainly would like to know more about those curves. He smirks.
"Fulfills this place your expectations, m'lady?" He whispers in her ear as he still hold her.
"Oh, well, it's not bad, m'lord" She teases. He laughs. How he missed that time, when everyone called him like that, at that time his family was still together. He wouldn't admit it but he misses them, especially Rebekah. His little sister. He shakes his thoughts off, and looked Caroline in the eyes, who looked at him with an questionable expression. Klaus motions her to sit down, as he sat down next to her.
"You wanted to talk," Caroline said softly. "So talk," Hmm, what to say?
"I told you I'm not human, didn't I love?" She nodded. "I'm a vampire," I looked at her expression, it stayed the same. "I'm not just a vampire, I'm an Original, me and my siblings are the very first vampires of the world, It wouldn't surprise me if you're from my bloodline." She looks at him with wide eyes.
"Yeah, so are you like a billion or something?" She asked. He grins.
"You would have to adjust the perception of time due the fact that you are a vampire now, and celebrate that you're no longer bond by trival human conventions." She seems deep in thought, she really is a special thing.
"You know I killed someone today?" He nodded.
"Me too," He chuckles, as he does a tuft of her hair behind her ear.
"Please tell me, how can I celebrate the fact that I kill people sometimes, I crave blood the whole fucking time and I will never have children," Klaus then cups her face.
And he then whispers: "I think you will not believe me now, but it comes with time my sweet Caroline. Because I will let you in on a little secret; there is a whole world out there waiting for you. Great cities and art and music. Genuine beauty and you can have all of it," She smiled at Klaus, she had tears in her eyes from his speech, he has to admit, he even surprised himself with that speech.
"You know Klaus," Oh, he loved how she said his name. "Has anyone ever told you that you're a good person," She says as she gives him a hug. He is shocked, and didn't know where to rest his hands, but in the end, he gave in, he hold her so close, almost possessive.
"Sweetheart, how did you turn, actually, I'm really curious." Then Caroline flinches. He looks at her serious, he can see on her it's quite the story.
"I was in a car-accident, with Matt and Tyler," Klaus would definitely remember those names. "And then Damon, you know the guy you killed," He clenched his fists. He should have tortured that Damon much longer he realized. "He fed me his blood, probably because Elena wanted that, so that I got better. I got better but I was that night still in het hospital, but then Elena came in, at least that I thought, she told me to send a message to Stefan and Damon; 'game on' and then she suffocated me and I thought why would Elena do that, she's my friend, well afterwards I came after it wasn't Elena that killed me, but Katherine, her Doppelgänger," The Doppelgänger? She is here? Klaus felt a smile rise his features. He has waited for this for centuries, finally the curse broken. Just one problem; The Doppelgänger is Caroline's friend and he has to kill her...
So, love it? hate it? continue? Let it know. :p
