"Caroline! Caroline wait, love" Klaus shouted but Caroline was nowhere in sight.

 He wondered around looking for her until his sight landed on Caroline. She was staring at some horses. 

"You like horses" Klaus asked taking a few steps towards her.

 She turned around and said

 "I'm not talking to you until you tell me why you have invited me here"

"I fancy you" he said sincerely and he raised an eyebrows at her 

"Is that so hard to believe?" "Yes" she replied. 

But Klaus being Klaus didn't give up "Why........you're beautiful, you're strong, you're full of light. I enjoy you" he smiled.

"Well I'm spoken for" she said waiting for a reaction. 

"And by who, love? I don't think Tyler, so who might it be Caroline" Klaus asked curiously taking slow steps towards her.

 "Oliver...Oliver Queen" she said confidently.

Suddenly Klaus started laughing so hard, that he couldn't stop. He waved his hand in the air, as some sort of his flag of apology. He didn't know why but the waves of laughter keep coming. He tried to catch his breath and snorted. Caroline stared at him wide-eyed.

 "Why are you laughing?" she asked pissed.

"You're dating Oliver Queen......that spoiled brat" Klaus asked amused. 

"We're not dating" Caroline justified realizing what she had said.

 She blabbered "I mean.....we are seeing each other" 

before she could finished Klaus was near her

 "I love it when you start blabbering. You're not in love with the Queen boy, am not that worry and even if you were love," Klaus said stroking her cheeks in a delicate way

 "it would be only a matter of time, I conquer you and make you mine"

Caroline was too flustered too speak. She took a few steps away from Klaus. 

"You know horses are the opposite of people. They're loyal. My father always mistreated, insulted me but I took them all but the closest he ever came was the day he killed my favorite horse. He ripped his neck with a sword as a warning" he said.

Caroline asked him "Did you ever consider sitting down with your father and talking it out". 

Klaus replied "I'm afraid my relationship with my father was a little more complex than yours"

"Maybe so...." She took a breath and continued

 "but I loved my father  with no regrets and to answer your question yes I like horses. But I also like people and they actually like me..........so I'll be inside" she said brushing past him.

***A few minutes later**

Klaus wanted to show Caroline something, he had been dying to show her his studio. After convincing her a thousand of times, she had finally agreed.

She followed Klaus to what seemed for her like hours, when they arrived Klaus was silent. He didn't utter a single word all the way here. Couldn't take the silence anymore, she broke it 

"So......what did you want to show me?"

"One of my passions" he exclaimed.

 "Impressive" she said with sincerity. 

"You bribe the security of the Louvre on" she added.

 "Yeah! Well that's their mistake" he smiled.

 Caroline shook her head "and what about these? Where did you steal it from or bribe it from" she said.

Klaus replied "Well that's a long story. But rest assured, it was worn by a princess almost as beautiful as you" he said.

 She rolled her eyes, taking time to look at her surroundings. Her gaze landed on some paintings 

"Wait a second....did you do this?" she questioned him.

He replied embarrassed "Yeah! Actually one of my landscape is hanging at The Armitage not that anyone would notice.......have you been?" Klaus asked her.

 "I've never really been anywhere" she replied

 and quickly Klaus said "I'll take you" he said looking right in her eyes. She let out a sigh.

"Wherever you want..........Rome" he said making Caroline looked at him 

"Paris" she smiled. 

"Tokyo" he said showing his dimples, making her chuckled

 "Oh! Wow"

But she couldn't believe his words, every boys she knew tell the same thing but none a single of them had done it for her. She tried to do everything when she is in a relationship, but that was never enough, not enough for Tyler......the one whom she thought she would marry one day.

"That's very nice, you just snap your fingers and get whatever you want" she said knowing she was going way too far.

"That's why you take servants, make them work for you or you just buy girl to please you whenever you want. Be honest Klaus that's what you wanted to do with me right. Just fuck me" she said dryly. 

"You're making assumptions" Klaus said his mood changing.

"Then why being such an arrogant person. You know I thought that deep inside you were a nice and decent person but you were too afraid to show it to someone......to open to someone. But the previous night I had watched how you treated that girl......like a piece of shit. If like you say am making assumptions then, why being like that when you may have anything in life. Give them their life back. Stop controlling people. Give them their lives back" she said in a desperate voice.

Klaus looked down, and smiled 

"You know, this have been a fun evening but I think it's time for you to leave" he growled. 

Caroline looked at him, disgusted

 "I got it your father didn't love you, so you assume that no one else would will either and that's why you controlled people or you made them become your minions or you try to buy them off" 

she said angrily throwing the bracelet Klaus gave her on the table.

 "That's not how it works. You don't connect with people because you don't even try to understand them" she spit in his face and made her way towards the door.

"Leaving so soon, darling" Kol smirked. 

Caroline tried to pass through him but he blocked his path. 

"Get out of my way" Caroline raised her voice.

 "OH! I'm scared" he mocked. 

"You know sweetheart, I quite like you" Kol said stroking her cheeks with his thumb and leaned in

 "But you should mend your ways, I'm not like my brother. It would be a shame if you were to be wasted by one of the Mikaelson's brothers unless if it's me who is inviting you" he said making Caroline frightened.

But she did back away "Don't be so quick to judge me. You only see what I choose to show you"

 she said walking past him, but he caught her wrist 

"Then I'm impatient to see you physically in bed" he said huskily earning him a slap from Caroline.

"What the hell?" he grabbed her arms tightly and squeezed with force making her yelped in pain.

 In a blink, Kol was pushed against the wall, a hand on his throat 

"What are you up, Kol?" Klaus in a threatening tone. 

"Relax Nik, your beloved Caroline and I were just having some fun, weren't we darling" Kol said sarcastically.

 Klaus threw him on the floor and snarled 

"If you were to lay your finger again on her Kol, I promised I will make you suffer" Klaus said grabbing Caroline's hand and taking her outside.

 Klaus kept going, ignoring Caroline completely. 

"Let go of me, Klaus you're hurting me" she said trying to escape from his grip.

 "I'm sorry, love. Did I hurt you?" he took her hand and kissed it, making her leaned to his touch.

 "I'm fine" she said putting enough distant between them. She quickly added 

"I'm going home. I'm tired" she turned away to leave but Klaus pulled her close to him, so close that she could hear his heart beating

 "Thank you for your honesty" he murmured closing his hand with hers, as he was giving her something.

 Caroline leaned back when Klaus kissed her earlobe.

She turned around only to find him gone, she looked at her hand and her mouth went opened. It was her and the horse back near the lake.

Klaus had drawn her, and she looked so peerless. He had drawn her precisely with so much care and passion.

**At her apartment**

Caroline arrived at her apartment exasperated. So much had happened. Katherine had called her saying that Elijah was going to drop her by her house. She was drowsy to give her best friend a lecture about her being still with Stefan.

She took a long relaxing and warmish shower thinking about Klaus' words

  'Thank you for your honesty'

She wondered if she had been too bitter with him, but decided to shrug that thought off. 'He deserved it' she kept saying.

After putting her night-wear, her phone started ringing. She picked it up and saw the caller I.D 

"Oliver Queen"

She sighed 

"Hey Ollie! How was the meeting? "It was fine, Caroline. I need to tell you something " Oliver said.

 Honestly she was not in mood for listening but well if calling her at one o'clock.....hell it must be something important. 

"What's wrong? I hope everything is fine with you or your family" Caroline said.

  "Everything's fine, Care" he chortled.

"I need to leave town. My father requested my assistance back in Australia. I'm calling you because I will take the first flight available on the morrow" he said wistfully.

"I guess it's a good bye then" she said quietly. 

"It is" he whispered.

 "Goodbye Oliver" Caroline said, hanging up the phone when Oliver already said his goodbyes to her.

"I'm single again....great" she said sarcastically.

Sorry for not updating these past days. I was quite busy.
