On The Run

The Escape

Caroline woke up feeling sated and relaxed. She also felt warm breath blowing slowly against the back of her neck. She froze his arm was still draped around her there legs entwined together. She took a shaky breath in and moved slowly trying not to wake him. Stupid. Stupid. Stupid. She'd done a lot of dumb things before but this by far topped the list.

She slowly eased off the bed and clutched the discarded comforter to her covering herself. Like it really mattered he'd already seen all of her. She found her pants and panties slowly stepping into them. She lingered in the bedroom doorway looking back at him.

He looked so peaceful when he slept. You would never know he was a vicious murdering monster. She took one last look at the hot man laying in bed before forcing herself to move. She was so tempted to crawl right back into bed with him and repeat what they had done earlier. She could still feel the hum of her body from the pleasure they had shared. His blood still coursed through her veins drawing her toward him. No.

Pushing her desires aside she clutched the comforter to her chest and went to retrieve her top from the front room. She quickly pulled her sneakers on and looked at her hoodie. It was cold out but no way was she going to wear it. She saw the car keys laying on the table and was half tempted to grab them, but thought better of it. He was going to be mad enough as it was. Taking the keys would only result in loss of human life when he obtained a new vehicle. And it was with that thought that she knew she could never stay with him.

He embraced his anger and lashed out at others. True she had seen streaks of his humanity, but that had been mostly towards her. Where as she embraced her humanity and could never willingly take a life again. She remembered how she'd attacked that poor guy when she'd first been turned. She remembered the small pleasure it had brought her and it sickened her. She was not a monster. Her and Klaus were two completely different people. Which is why it wouldn't work for them their beliefs were to different.

She turned one last time to look at the open bedroom door she didn't want to leave, but knew she had to. She didn't see him changing, and she wasn't going to let him change her. "I'm sorry." She whispered before exiting the door.

Klaus shot up as he heard the door click shut. "Caroline?" He said looking at the empty spot in the bed. He listened and heard nothing. "Caroline?" He said again getting up and grabbing his jeans. He took all of five seconds to search the suite and determine she wasn't there.

Rage coursed through him she had left. She had left after last night. He picked up the chair she had ate in the night before and launched it across the room. A tear trickled down his cheek and he wiped it away angered that he'd allowed her to get that close to him. He'd done two things with her he'd never done in his entire existence the blood connection and he'd fallen asleep with her. He'd trusted her let his guard down only for her to leave him.

He heard the soft click of the door his heart stopped was it her? Had she come back? The door opened and in came a middle aged brunette. Growling in rage he rushed for the woman and bit into her neck she was dead before she'd even realized what had happened. He let her limp body fall to the floor and wiped the blood from his lips.

He walked to his jacket and grabbed his cell he only hoped she still had hers. He dialed her number, he had memorized it after stealing it from Tyler's phone a few months ago. It rang but went to her voice mail. Using his shaking hands he typed out a text message.

Where r u

It only took a minute for the response to come back.

I'm sorry

Yes she would be he was going to find her and... What would he do to her?

I'll find you

He texted back. He wanted her to respond again but she didn't. He threw his phone across the room and it hit the wall breaking into pieces. He grabbed his shirt and jacket she couldn't have gone far. He was going to find her and he was going to make sure she would never leave again.
