The beautiful blonde girl parked her car into a corner and walked over to the Mystic Grill. She was going to be meeting Bonnie today and since it was a Friday, the girls figured they could use a sleepover at Elena's. It's been a while since the three of them really catch up with one another and go down sensitive, and the weekends provided a great opportunity for their bonding session. As she walked over, she saw a familiar face sitting alone right outside the Grill. The Original family rarely mingled, and they were always seen alone. It came as no surprise when she saw Klaus sipping his coffee but what was odd was that he seemed to be lost in his thoughts. Caroline had never seen that side to him before. The girl quickened her steps before finally standing inches away from his table. She guessed she would just talk to him seeing she wasn't supposed to meet Bonnie until 4. Caroline took a glance at her watch. It was only 3.40. Perfect.

"Hi." She said, cautiously waiting for his reply.

The man looked up to see the beautiful blonde looking down at him. He wondered why Caroline had been making contact with him recently. It felt like she was using him, somehow. She knew she was his weakness, so was she trying weaken him further before finally drying him out?

"Hi." He echoed, his eyes never leaving her face, suspicion still written all over his face.

Caroline took a seat and sat opposite the man who had just replied her. She didn't know how to start the conversation, seeing how their conversation didn't end well yesterday morning at the school compound.

"I'm just going to be blunt. Did I kill you or something?" She asked wearily. She didn't like the way Klaus was treating her now. It wasn't like him to be treating her of that manner.

"What are you trying to do, Caroline?" Klaus accused, letting a reluctant laugh out.

"What do you mean, what am I trying to do? I just want to know why you're behaving like this, Klaus." The girl insisted, wondering why Klaus would suspect her of anything. It soon dawned on her that he probably didn't trust her very much.

When he didn't give a reply, she continued, "Seriously. I already apologised. What more do you want?"

"What I want Caroline, is for you to be honest with me, which you didn't a few nights ago." Klaus reminded her, taking a sip of his coffee again.

Caroline gave Klaus her irritated face. What more did this Original want? She had already apologised didn't she? She said sorry, and he said all was good. She knew he would bear grudges at her but she didn't think that he would actually ignore her. He did liked her once upon a time after all.

"I don't get it. You're not you! You're not the same Klaus I have been talking to these past few days. Why?" Caroline blurted out her feelings.

"Perhaps there are more to me that you don't know of Caroline." Was all he said, his legs shaking, getting impatient at her.

"No, there's something up with you. Tell me, please?" She pressured again, this time trying to make her eyes look bigger, as though she was trying to have him pity her.

"Let me see. So that you can perhaps dagger another sibling of mine? Is it, Caroline?" Klaus snarled at the already petrified blonde in front of him.

"N-no. I just want to kno-" She trailed on before Klaus interrupted her.

"If you're trying to find a chit-chat partner, I suggest you find your boyfriend. Tyler is it? Oh wait! He's away. Perhaps you would find my brother more pleasing to you? You did seem comfortable in his arms yesterday night." The man bellowed, allowing strangers to look at them.

"K-Klaus." She stuttered before letting Klaus finished his sentence.

"Save it, Caroline." Klaus continued, exasperated.
