Klaus heard Elena's phone call with Alaric Saltzman and how she was now going to train with Elijah's help. Klaus wanted to go fight with Elijah but before he needed to go talk with Elena.
Once Elena's phone call ended, he took her away from the kitchen and put her in her room so they could talk without anyone listening.
"Klaus, What is it?" Elena asked.
"I want to know what the bloody hell are you planning on doing behind my back."
"What are you talking about?"
"Why do you need Elijah to train you? Why do you even need training? You're only function in here is to provide me your blood so I can make more hybrids. I simply haven't killed you yet because it would break my pact with Caroline. But if you try to flee I will quickly break that pact and kill you after killing everyone you care about."
"I'm not just an object you keep around and when you remember to make hybrids suddenly has a reason for exist. I have a life, Klaus. We all have a life. You aren't the center of the universe! I only asked Elijah to help me with my training because I want to be able to defend myself if Marcel or someone tries to take me away from here to get to you. After all, everyone knows how much you care about your little army of hybrids." Elena said.
"If you dare to do something that will put in jeopardy my plans, I will punish you and won't be pretty." Klaus growled stepping closer to her, in order to make her feel intimidated.
"Hey, Elena! I was wondering if you wanted to..." Caroline said as she opened the door, quickly falling into silence when noticed Klaus and Elena very close to each other. "Oh... Sorry. I didn't know... I should have knocked. Sorry to interrupt your... Yeah... I'll go now. You two carry on."
Caroline left Elena's bedroom and went to her bedroom, wanting to be alone and try to understand what was she feeling and why she was feeling that way.
When Caroline saw Elena and Klaus, she at first was surprised and at shock, but then she felt something else... she didn't enjoy to see them so close, she didn't know why but she just didn't like it... And she also felt like a fool because now she was starting to wonder with how many girls Klaus has been acting all nice and gentlemanly with besides her and, apparently, Elena.
"Love, is everything alright?" Klaus whispered as he got in Caroline's bedroom.
"Yeah... I just... I didn't know you and Elena were becoming so close. I thought she could barely stay in the same room as you... But I'm fine." Caroline whispered, acting like she wasn't affected by seeing him and Elena so close.
"Okay. And in case you're wondering... it wasn't what it looked like."
"I wasn't wondering anything." Caroline quickly said, then Klaus locked them inside the bedroom, making her ask. "What are you doing?"
"I need to talk with someone and I can see you're not in the mood to talk but I trust you to talk about this and... you don't even have to say a word. I just need to talk." Klaus said and Caroline nodded so he would continue. "Elena asked Elijah to help her improve her fighting skills and I am wondering if she asked that for being able to run away from me or for getting closer to Elijah and turn him against me."
"And why does the reason of her wanting to improve her fighting skills needs to be about you? She's been training even before we knew about your existence. It was something she used to do with Ric and now she probably wants to continue because it sucks to stay in this house without doing anything." Caroline said.
"But what if the reason is her planning on run away?"
"Klaus, she didn't ran away when you used her for the sacrifice. I'm sure she won't run away now. She lost so many people, she wouldn't do something that would make her lose the few people she has left." Caroline said. "But is that it or is there something more to it?"
"What do you mean, love?"
"Maybe what you are really afraid is that someone will run away and leave you... Maybe you started to care about people that aren't your siblings." Caroline whispered, thinking that maybe he was so close to Elena because he felt attracted to her and to how she wants to keep fighting.
"Maybe..." Klaus whispered, thinking about how Caroline in a short time has been able to make him care about her.
"Then why don't you tell her?" Caroline asked.
"What do you think she would say about that?" Klaus whispered.
"I don't know but you and Elena seemed to have some tension going on. Maybe that's a good thing." Caroline smiled to him, trying to be a good friend.
"What? I wasn't talking about Elena. And you saw tension between me and her because I was intimidating her so she wouldn't think on running away."
"Because you are starting to care about her and don't want her to leave." Caroline said.
"No! Because the only reason she's here it's so I can make more hybrids. I don't care about her. I barely talk to her." Klaus admitted.
"She's a person, Klaus. You can't think she is just an object for you to use when you want to get more hybrids." Caroline said.
"Wait. Did you act like that because you thought I cared about Elena? Were you jealous, love?" Klaus smirked.
"What? Of course not! Why would I be jealous?"
"I don't know. I can't see why a woman like you would feel jealous of a girl like Elena." Klaus whispered, stepping closer to her.
"You don't need to tell me that. I wasn't jealous. If I was I would understand you saying those things but I'm not." Caroline said.
"If you say so..."
"I wasn't!" Caroline argued, suddenly realizing how close they were now.
"Good." Klaus whispered, grabbing her by the waist, pulling her closer to him. "A woman as beautiful and as extraordinary as you, should know how incredible she is and shouldn't feel jealous of anyone..."
"Klaus..." she whispered and he pressed her against the wall.
"How could I look at Elena like that when I have such an amazing woman right here...?" Klaus whispered.
"Stop it... You can't say things like that to me. I'm your hybrid." Caroline whispered.
"You broke the sire bond." Klaus smirked. "Very rebellious and brave of you, may I add."
"That doesn't matter. I can't be your sex buddy nor anything like that. At most what we can be is friends." Caroline said and moved him aside so she could have some air to breath, because she was starting to feel hot by being so close to Klaus.
