Carolines POV.

as I entered the office I took a notice of my surroundings, there were many books to be found and lush carpets, near the end centre of the room was a beautiful dark oak desk in front of a window that overlooked the grounds of the prison. I walk further into the office and I see Elijah looking out towards the prison grounds.

"Good morning, Miss Forbes." be says formally whilst turning around to get a better look at me.

"Good morning Mr Mikelson, and please call me Caroline." I say standing there looking him in the eyes,  it makes me wonder how he can be related to the Hybrid.

"Well then Caroline please call me Elijah, I am aware that Mr Matt Donovan has informed you about my brother Niklaus? and given you his file to read. Because I need you to be aware of what's in store for when you see my brother in his holding room he can be quite difficult to talk to and blunt." he says looking directly at me

"Yes I have been told Elijah of what he can do but Matt told me that you would be able to give me more information about one of his worst murders?" I say nervously because I didn't know what to expect.

"ahh yes, very well then. please take a seat and prepare for what you are about to hear, it isn't very pleasant but you must be aware if anything were to happen." he says "Niklaus was able to avoid custody for years with only his first name for the police to go off, that being said was Klaus,  Niklaus's kill were numerous and vile and would make the devil himself be ashamed. for 4 years he ran rampant taking the hearts literally of many poor innocent men and women, collecting their love letters as a souvenir. he was never shy about his work he...are you listening Caroline?" he says look at me with concern on his skeptical face.

"Yes, I just…I remember reading about all of this in the papers. It sickens me."

"As it does with most. To continue what I was saying…he was never shy. In fact, he became rather ostentatious when he found the police couldn't find him. I believe you might remember the particular incident down in Alabama?"

"The five men and women he killed by a warehouse…" she told him quietly, not wanting to continue.

"And do you know what he did next?" Elijah persisted, wondering if Matt had given her all the information she would need for this case, to know what Klaus was capable of doing.

Caroline bit her lower lip, and tried to keep the bile from rising. She said she would be able to handle this though, and knowing his kills was part of the job. Being able to say them out loud was necessary. She needed to prove to herself and Matt that she wasn't the same Caroline she was a year ago.

"He painted Munch's 'The Scream' on the warehouse walls. In their blood."

"That's right. He did a goddamn finger painting," he said calmly, shaking his head. "Took the blood of all his victim's to complete. He was even kind enough to autograph it for us."

"So is that why he was caught? he got too flashy with what he was doing?" I say internally cringing at the thought of what Klaus Mikelson did too those poor innocent souls, all wiped away just for his amusement alone.

"No, some would say.... he let his emotions get the better of him. too emotional as some would say."

"I don't know what you mean Elijah." Caroline asked genuinely confused.

"The reason the police couldn't catch Klaus was because he was unpredictable, he didn't have a trail to follow. he chose his victims at random, and he covered his tracks so there wasn't much of anything to follow. But his mistake was killing out of anger, rather than his usual kill fir fun, he forgot to cover his tracks properly." he explains

"What was the reason for the sudden kill of anger? The papers said when they found him; he was covered in blood by a river. The bodies weren't anywhere in sight."

"To this day, he refuses to tell anyone," Elijah sighed.

"Even you?" Caroline asks in hope

"even me, which is one of the reasons I asked for him to be put under my watch in this prison, I'm the only one who knows how to control him." Elijah states " anyway I think your more than ready for this case Caroline, and I think you can handle yourself around Niklaus, but I must warn you before I let you see him. don't get too close to the glass, and don't let get into your head and try to not tell him about yourself, family,friends or your past. I only say this for your safety." he says finally walking to his door and escorts me the way to Klaus... I mentally shudder. I'm finally about to see Klaus, I don't know how to feel at this moment all I know is that.... I'm standing beside Elijah in front of his security door....
