A little Klaroline....
Caroline's POV
I groan and look around towards the clock.
3:30. How fantastic.
I roll my eyes and moan as I stretch my body.
I must've fallen asleep around 9. That's why I woke up so early.
I snap my ears up as I hear distant footsteps in the hallway. I quickly tip toe towards my door and open it quickly, thanking that it wasn't squeaky. The footsteps grow a little louder and I shoot my head out to see Klaus fuming with Stefan following right behind them as they walk through the corridor. I vamp speed towards the edge of the hallway and I see Klaus shouting at Stefan.
Such a dramatic baby.
"...if he didn't do it. Then he can find ........ did it. ... might be my friend but your brother ...... . I want the vampire. NOW," Klaus booms the last part clearly and I instantly feel bad for Stefan. He doesn't deserve this. As I see Stefan mumble something and vamp speed out of the hallway, Klaus continues storming past rooms until he opens and slams a door shut, which I can only assume is his room. I pace back and forth in the hallway making sure I don't make too much noise.
If I don't talk to him now, I might not have a chance for another few days. But if I do, he might end up killing me. He doesn't look like he's in a talking mood right now.
Pushing up all my confidence, I walk down the long hallway towards Klaus' room. Each step makes me more nervous and scared but I continue walking, pushing my feet just a little further until I am in front of his door. I slowly open the door, expecting to find a fuming hybrid storming towards me, but all I see is a cold empty room.
This place gives me the shivers.
I slowly close the door and look around the room. This place seems so cold and empty. Nothing in it except for drawers, a bed, and paintings around the room with a light on the ceiling. The place itself is modern to the touch and exceptionally neat.
It's almost as neat as my room.
I turn to the far wall to see two doorways, one closed and the other one open all the way. I walk over to the one open and look inside.
"Klaus?," I stupidly ask.
"I'm in no mood for company, love. Leave," I hear from across the room and I roll my eyes. I step inside and breathe in all that surrounds me.
"Woah," I mumble to myself as I see paintings and drawings sprawled over the place. To the right are two massive windows and a fireplace in between it with a leather couch in front of the fireplace. Unlike the room behind me, this room had feeling, warmth, and a sense of security.
"Love, I hope your professors know that you do not understand basic five letter words. I said, leave," he starts off sarcastically and then gets angrier as he commands me to leave.
"I need to talk to you. It's about - oh my god, are you okay?!" I ask, worried, as he turns to me with blood covering his body and dripping down onto the floor. I rush over to him and look around for wounds seeing none.
Duh Caroline. He's a vampire. He can heal fast.
I look up at him, remembering where I am and back away quickly.
"Sorry," I say nervously while he just smirks. He turns back around and walks over to the far right corner of the room and takes out another t-shirt. I feel the heat rise in my cheeks as he quickly removes his grey henley shirt and throws it on the ground. I lower my gaze but not conspicuously raise it back up to look at him. His back, like most of his body, is fit but still skinny, yet has wide shoulders and back muscles. His tattoo caught my eye. It was a wolf running through trees with a full moon above the treeline. I looked closer and gasped. Scars ran deep alongside his back and most were covered throughout the tattoo while the other small ones were less seen.
Why aren't those healed? Who the hell did that to him?
"Why are you still standing there love?" Klaus looked back over to me and threw back on his new shirt.
"What happened?" I ask, glancing at his bloody t-shirt then back up to him to meet his gaze.
"Werewolf's that think they own this town," Klaus said, smugly.
"I thought the Labonair's were killed," I said, confused about who he could be talking about.
"They were," Klaus replied, sadness laced in his voice, "but I am talking about another pack. The Lockwoods."
My breath stopped in my throat as the name rang through my ears, yet Klaus continued. "The new Alpha for the last few years has been giving me trouble. I need to remind him who the true alpha is. Tyler is nothing more than a lost boy who is not fit nor can handle his pack. Sooner or later, I will kill him once he comes out of hiding," Klaus smirks and I feel my body stand completely still.
Tyler. Tyler Lockwood. My ex.
"Love, are you alright?" I look up towards Klaus' gaze and see concern on his face which confuses me even more.
"What's wrong? Tell me," He commands and moves closer towards me. For some reason, I knew I wasn't being compelled yet found myself wanting to tell him.
"I..I know him. He's," I gulp and take in a breath, "He's my ex." As I say those words, Klaus' eyes widen and he takes a deep breath.
"He's the reason I'm like this. We...We got into an argument one night and he grabbed me as we were walking up the stairs and I slipped and fell," I say, shakily. I look straight ahead, lost in memories.
"That was the last time I saw him. I thought he moved away to college," I say, oblivious to everything around me as I replay the image of me dying on the floor. I shake out of it and look up to Klaus' gaze to see regret in his eyes. He sighs and walks towards me slowly before engulfing me in a hug.
What the hell is happening?
As much as I am confused by his actions, I can't help but appreciate the warmth his hug gives me.
Klaus' POV
What the hell am I doing?
After Caroline ends her story, I can't help but feel the need to pull her into my embrace. After a few seconds, I feel her arms wrap around waist. Questions flow through my mind as I replay her words in my mind.
Whose blood did she have when she died? Who dared to feed on this beautiful creature? Was she the one who triggered the insolent brat's curse?
After another few seconds of hugging, I pull away from her quickly.
"Sorry. It looked like you needed it, love. I too, know what it's like to be murdered, and turned without asking for it," I say, wanting to change to another topic. Suddenly, an amazing idea pulled into my head. One I could really use. One that would definitely tick off the Lockwood boy.
"What was it that you needed, Caroline?" I ask.
"Oh, um, I was wondering if you could let Elena out?" She asks me and I chuckle loudly.
"What?" She asked, annoyed at my response.
"No," I responded, coldly.
"Look I know you need her and there is no way of escaping your creepy blood obsession, but could you at least take her out of a cell?" She asked me, throwing her arms out in the air.
"I need her blood to make my army. Her blood possesses the ability to make wolves turn into hybrids which will be sired to me," I reply, making her glare at me.
"This is all about your stupid army!" She shouts at me and I roll my eyes.
"This war is more important than you could realize. And your friends all hold their role in it. But I'm feeling quite happy after my earlier activities," I smirk at her and she gives me a disgusted look, "and I will make a deal with you. Elena can move to a room up on the third floor along with all of us. I will keep Stefan's brother watching after her."
"And what do I have to do?" She asks, giving me an annoyed look and crossing her arms over her chest.
"You will need to accompany me around the city tomorrow. All day," I smirk at her and she rolls her eyes.
"Why do you need me?" She asks and I think of a nice lie.
"You're a relatively new vampire especially in New Orleans. I look after the vampires in my city. I can show you where you can be safe, where you won't, where to go, where not to, etcetera," I respond and she gives a short nod.
"Fine," She responds and I smile.
