the meal

Klaus' POV

I had put it off long enough. I couldn't stay hidden away forever up here. So at last, after weeks of drawing and watching her I decided to come out. Making my way outside, I tuned into the conversation she was having with Rebekah outside. I could hear Rebekah make a crude joke about Elijah's choice of clothing and then the soft giggling coming from Caroline. My stomach squeezed and I struggled for air. Oh god.

Taking in a deep breath I slipped into an effortless swagger as I made my way towards them. 'What are you two wittering about?' I asked in an amused way. Caroline spun around suddenly, a rosy pink colouring her cheeks and the tip of her nose. 'Nothing' she replied sassily, and made to walk away.

Before she could get more than a metre I grabbed her wrist and turned her back around. 'Caroline.. I'm sorry. For what I said that first night. I hope you can forgive me' I squirmed uncomfortably as I said this; it wasn't my nature to apologise. She opened her mouth as if to forgive me, then snapped it shut. A few moments passed before she spoke, my fool sister looking between us eagerly. 'If you think that's going to cut it, Klaus, you're very much mistaken. It's been weeks, weeks! You ignoring us all, and me wandering about, desperately lonely so no. I can't forgive you.' She tore her hand away from mine and stomped off in a huff. I smirked. This was going to be fun.

Caroline's POV

That dick! As if I'd just forgive him like that. At least get a girl flowers! I sighed again, thinking of my mother and how she had forgotten all about me. I missed her terribly, and my friends too, but it was nice to be free from those pesky Salvatores. I figured Elena would turn one day, to be with Stefan (or Damon, I'm not stupid I've seen those two looking at each other) but I just didn't know if I could be friends with a vampire. 

Klaus' words came back to me then, staining my mood to an even further degree. 'I want to turn you.' Well guess what, mighty Klaus. This girl doesn't want to be turned. My thoughts went to Tyler. Where on earth was he? I hoped he was alright. Suddenly, Elijah called my name, pulling me from my thoughts.

He told me that Klaus wanted to talk to me, and despite hating myself for it, I felt a strange sense of excitement and anticipation. I hurried back to the house, my nerves overtaking me. When I got to his room and knocked, he opened the door and smirked slowly. 'This way' he said, ushering me inside. He pointed at the floor, confusing me further. 'What?' I choked out, embarrassed all of a sudden. Was he making fun of me? I decided he wasn't, as he leaned down and pulled up the floorboards to reveal a trapdoor. He pulled that up and showed a ladder. 'I'll go first. Never know what could be down there.' He swung his legs over and began to climb down. When it was my turn, I hopped down each rung, trying not to show my fear. 'You better not be looking up my skirt creeper guy' I sang to him.

When I got to the bottom, he offered me a hand and I took it cautiously, not failing to notice his smile. I gasped. The room was beautiful, adorned with hundreds of little lights and candles. In the middle was a table. Food covered it, and there was a chair at each end. 'Go ahead. Sit down' he murmured, his deep, beautifully British voice closer to my ear than I would have liked.

Klaus' POV

I pushed my food around my plate impatiently. It was lovely to sit and eat across from her, and talk pleasantly for once but I am Klaus Mikaelson, the big bad wolf. I don't care much for fancy, romantic dinners. I wanted to get on to the real reason I had asked her here.

When she appeared to have finished her meal, I walked over to her softly and knelt down. 'Come with me.' I ordered authoritatively, relishing in the slight fear I saw in her eyes. She stood up reluctantly and started to retort angrily: 'Just so you kn-' she began, silenced by my finger over her lips. 'Shhhh.' I whispered, and saw her neck turn red slowly, the colour spreading in a way that reminded me of my watercolours.

When in the bathroom I had chosen for this very purpose, she turned to me, blatantly afraid now. 

'Now I have been lenient, Caroline. Letting you wander freely about this place unchecked. But it's been weeks and I'm afraid I have become impatient. I told you I wanted something on your first day here. Now, I'm going to get it.' I spoke carefully, watching her face incase she decided to try and run. Instead she just stared at me. I closed the door behind me with my foot and walked her towards the mirror.

Looking into it I saw myself, the evil hybrid, and felt a shiver of hatred run through me. But then my eyes lighted upon her gorgeous face, staring back at me in the mirror. It was time. I raised my hand and gently moved her hair off her pretty little neck. I made as if to bite her, but stopped myself. I wouldn't hurt her. Sure, I could have compelled her not to feel pain, but I hadn't compelled her at all so far. And I wanted this to feel real.

I pushed her back against the sink slowly and listened to her breathing grow irregular and ragged. 'Klaus' she breathed, and in that small voice I heard everything I needed to hear. I bit slowly into my arm and pushed it towards her. She squirmed away but this just made me want it more. My wrist collided with her soft lips and she was forced to swallow down my blood. Watching her take it down like that, not even protesting, made me crazy. I tried to ignore the stiffening of my pants and stay on task. When I was convinced she had swallowed enough, I leaned very close to her face and saw her stare at my lips, still whimpering.

I brushed my lips with hers and just as she pushed forward I moved to her ear. 'Sorry, love' I whispered. I snapped her neck and enjoyed the satisfying crack as her body fell into mine.
