Klaus' POV.
I sat there, whispering reassurances in Caroline's ear and stroking her back. I could gradually feel the tension leave her shoulders as she relaxed into my arms, I thanked my lucky stars for whoever thought of horror films, for, thanks to them, my angel was seeking comfort and safety in my arms. She seemed to only be half lucid as she moaned softly when I pushed a golden curl off her face. at this stage every one had left to plan out what to do next or to recollect themselves in the cases of Elena and Bonnie. I stood up with Caroline clinging to me like a sexy monkey. My arms
Were around her waist. I sat down with her on the couch. the group were reconvening here in about two hours, because supplies ie. alcohol and snacks had to be replenished.
She seemed quite intoxicated already. I smiled fondly and adoringly at her as she smiled at me and giggled to herself.
"Caroline! Where are you!" We both heard the eldest salvatore yell. Caroline seemed to snap back to our sad reality in a second. She jumped off my lap and smoothed down her sexy as hell outfit.
"I'm sorry Klaus! It won't happen aga-" she hurriedly tried to apologise to me, I cut her off before she could finish. I flashed so that I was infront of her.
"Don't ever apologise to me Caroline. I adore you and if you are ever scared again I hope you will come to me. I know you don't feel the same and I understand that. I don't deserve to be loved, much less by someone as amazing and flawless as you." I said looking into her beautiful eyes. she looked taken back by how strongly I felt towards her.
"Klaus I -" she tried to reply.
"No Caroline, I understand and have accepted that you could never forgive me or love me." I could feel tears welling in my eyes. " Just know that I adore you and will always protect you." with that I sped off before I became overly emotional and begun crying in front of her. I flashed to my room and locked the door. I had another hour and a half before I would have to go down stairs again. I put in my earphones and blasted some music. I fell back on my bed and closed my eyes. I tried to concentrated on the lyrics of Eminems 'Without Me'. I tried to push thoughts of Caroline Forbes out of my mind. Not that it ever worked of course.

Caroline's POV
I just stood where he had left me, my mouth hanging open. Had he actually just Said that? Did he mean it? Maybe I wasn't just some challenge for him. But what about Tyler? I couldn't deny that I had a strong connection with Klaus and he made me feel safe and loved. But Tyler.... he is a good guy. He is wholesome and kind and not dangerous. He may not be passionate or very romantic but he was a good guy and he loved me.... Didn't he? Well why isn't he here no? A small voice in my head asked. He has to run from Klaus, the guy who killed his mom and turned him into a hybrid Servant. But the look on Klaus' face ....... Tyler has never looked or spoken to me with such passion.
"Oh there you are Blondie!" Damon said walking into the room. I mentally shook myself. Not here, not now! Tyler and you are still dating and, like it or not you are in no position right now to Dump him because he isn't here. And its not like you can dump him over text or call or something. I would never stoop that low. Besides hopefully he will be back visiting again soon. Then we needed to have a serious talk about our relationship.I didn't want to have a long distance relationship anymore , especially one that consisted of irregular phone calls every few weeks, but I still didn't want to let go of him. He was my first love and he was the one I had thought was going to be my last. I cared for him but I felt like I was stuck in the relationship. it didn't help that he had no wish to leave Mystic Falls.
He expected me to live here in Mystic Falls forever with him. He couldn't see that there was anything more to life than what this small town has to offer.
I shook those thoughts out of my head and turned to face Damon. "Yes? What is it?" I snapped at him.
"Whoa Blondie, take it easy, I was just reminding you that we are reconvening in an hour and a half, so be ready."
"Got it!"
Damon left the room but not before shooting me a suspicious glance. I decided to join the girls in the kitchen for a while.
