klaus mikaelson liked to do one thing and one thing only.
villainize himself.
just when the people are starting to think, 'hmm, maybe this guy is redeemable' he does something like kill tyler lockwood's mom. he would even have the gaul to blame it on someone else, saying he was punishing them.
perhaps one of the worst things he has ever done was now, however, as he bit caroline forbes knowing werewolf bites are posionuos to vampires.
"if you don't feed me your blood, i'll die," caroline tells klaus, stating the obvious. werewolf bites were fatal to vampires and the only cures were klaus and astrid's blood.
klaus doesn't even look at her when he says, "then you'll die, and tyler will have learned his lesson the hard way."
"how could you do this to him? to his mom?" caroline said and was unsure if she should say the next two words. then, she thought, if she was already dying, what more could klaus do to her? "to her?"
the hybrid doesn't even flinch when he answers her, as if the mention of the love of his life didn't even occur. "i'm a thousand years old. call it boredom."
"i don't believe you."
"fine," klaus said. "then maybe it's because i'm pure evil, and i can't help myself."
"no. it's because you were hurt," caroline said and for the first time, klaus looks at her. "which means that there is a part of you that is human."
klaus walks to her, sitting by her feet, completely dumbfounded. "how could you possibly think that?"
"because i've seen it," she said. "you think you're this evil man but... an evil man wouldn't be in love with the same person for a thousand years. and anybody capable of love is capable of being saved."
"she doesn't think so."
caroline looked at him, really looked at him, and her eyes softened for a second. "she thinks that, klaus. she believes in your redemption. she just doesn't believe in her's."
"you're hallucinating."
"i guess i'll never know."
"years ago, you were a good man. i was in love with that version of you."
"and now?"
she looked at him, walking towards him—lightly towering over him—and said, "now, i cannot believe i can despise one so."
even with her anger, she decided to turn around and walk away. but klaus wasn't going to let her have the last word. "always and forever, indeed."
"always and forever is a lie," she said. "you are not good. not anymore. and there is no one to blame but yourself."
klaus mikaelson knew he wasn't redeemable because the love of his life, the woman that knew him better than anyone even after a thousand years, thought so. she was done with him.
