Is it Destiny?

Chapter 21

Klaus watched as her lifeless body fell back into his naked chest. Her neck snapped to the side. She was dead. He could no longer here the flutter of her heart, her soft breath of life, everything was eerily silent. He took her into his arms and gently laid her body onto the bed. He silently sat next to her caressing her pale cheeks admiring her beauty. Even in death she was the most stunning creature he had ever seen.

He finally stood after a few moments and walked over to the wardrobe. He pulled out a satin white robe he had bought for her in town a few days earlier. He slowly made his way back to the bed and pulled her body up into his arms, wrapping the robe around her nude form. He gently laid her back down and covered her with a thin quilt.

Klaus walked to the door, turning to give her one last look before closing the door.

He knew it would be a few hours before she awoke and began her transition. He was planning on hunting for her to have fresh blood. He knew Caroline would not want to feed from a human and even if she was unable to control herself he would be there to help her. She would regret any harm she brought to an innocent when she was in the right mind set later. He would be strong for her and help in any way he could. She never wanted to feed from humans as he did and he loved her the way she was, he would never try and change her.

He stood outside her room and snapped his fingers for a serving girl to come to his service. Without the need to compel her, he simply told her to stay close by as Caroline would need her blood when she awoke. The woman nodded and went back down the hall. She was paid heavily for sharing her blood willingly and he wanted to make sure Caroline had fresh human blood for the transition for the transition as well as animal blood to satisfy her hunger.

He made his way out into the overgrown forest and sat next to a large willow tree waiting for the perfect prey. He sat quietly contemplating what would happen when Caroline awoke. He never dreamed he would ever find her again and he had never felt more grateful. He was certain, love was nothing but a weakness and now he did not want to do anything other than love her. If she was his weakness, she was worth every second he would suffer for it. Every moment in her arms was nothing short of pure bliss. Now, they would have eternity together and he could not imagine anything he wanted more not even breaking his curse.

As he was lost in his thoughts he caught a glimpse of a large moose walking through the bushes to the side of him. Without another thought he jumped to his feet and hunched over waiting to attack. Another moment later the moose was in his tight grip with a snapped neck. Klaus took his time walking back to the manor, the beast thrown over his shoulders.

Klaus threw the large animal on the ground outside the kitchen and order the servants to drain the blood and place it in large ceramic pitchers. He ordered for them to be taken upstairs and left outside their chamber. Caroline would be extremely hungry after the transition began and he had no intention of letting her out of his sight. He would stay with her through the day. Lying in bed waiting as she became like him, a vampire.

Mary snuck out of Kol's room early in the morning and discovered Klaus in the kitchen. He was standing next to a large container of animal blood. The smell was repulsive and she couldn't help but gasp. She was quite confused as she knew Klaus had never drunk anything but fresh human blood from the tap. She shook her head and continued in towards him.

"Since when do you enjoy drinking that?" she asked disgusted at the blood in front of him.

"Mind your business, Mary" He snapped, he had no interest in speaking to her. He was feeling nothing but happiness from the night spent with Caroline and Mary only reminded him of his darker times.
