At night, Klaus let his hybrids go around the city seeing what information they could gather, while he planned on taking Caroline somewhere else.

Caroline heard a knock on the bedroom door and when opened, she saw a box with a lace, she looked around but no one was there, so she grabbed the box and took it inside so she would open it, revealing it was the red dress she tried it on at the store but didn't buy it. She was about to giving the dress back, when noticed a note on it.

'Dear Caroline,
You have been showing me your loyalty and I truly appreciate it. I noticed how much you liked this dress and you looked truly ravishing in it, so I decided to give it to you as a thank you for being so cooperative and helpful.
Do not worry, I bought this dress. I did not compel anyone. A woman like you deserves to get gifts that aren't compelled.
See you at 10 pm to take you to another mission.
-Klaus'

Caroline looked at the note in disbelief, not wanting to make him think that he could buy her with those gifts but she couldn't deny that she loved the dress and appreciated the fact that he didn't compel anyone to give the dress.

Caroline decided to stop overthinking, put on the red dress and go see him to go to whatever next mission they had.

"Why are we in the Bayou?" Caroline asked when they got to the Bayou.

"While my hybrids are gathering information over Marcel and his minions, I want to gather information over the werewolves. I'm sure they aren't all that happy with Marcel's arrangement." Klaus said. "And we all know people love to talk about their issues in a bar while drinking alcohol."

"Won't they find weird seeing us here?"

"No. This bar is for werewolves and humans." Klaus said and took her to the bar, finding them a booth. "Oh, and love... you look breathtaking in that dress."

"I only wore it because I didn't had much more dressed to use."

"Whatever you say, love." He whispered with a smirk.

They heard two men appearing on the bar and talking about how much they hated Marcel and his rules.

Caroline started to play with Klaus's hair and smiling very sweetly to him, as they listened to the conversation of those two men.

"Who made him in charge, anyway? That place it's like a sanctuary for vampires and screw the werewolves, the witches and the humans. Someone should stand up and fight Marcel." A guy said as Caroline got on Klaus's lap and felt him kissing her neck as she run her fingers through his curly hair.

"This Marcel has been ruling the city for so long... He has a powerful army. Nobody can take him down." Another guy said.

"Let's see about that..." Klaus whispered.

"Shh... you don't want anyone to find us out." Caroline whispered looking him in the eyes and he smirked then kissed her, then she noticed the two guys leaving so she broke the kiss. "They left. We should go."

"Love, If we don't want people to get suspicious we can't leave right after the people we've been spying on leave." Klaus whispered.

"Sorry if I never got the degree in espionage." Caroline said, making Klaus laugh.

"Don't worry. I'll teach you." Klaus whispered and kissed her lips softly.

They ended up just enjoying kissing each other but when Caroline started to feel like she was starting to lose control, she broke the kiss and got out of his lap.

"Let's go home." Caroline whispered and Klaus nodded.

"I'm sorry if I made you feel uncomfortable." Klaus whispered as he drove them home.

"You didn't. I'm just tired."

"Love, I don't want you to do something you don't feel comfortable with." Klaus said because even if he spend his years ordering people around he hated to see Caroline doing something she didn't want to.

"Okay. Who are you and what have you done with Klaus Mikaelson, the big bad wolf?" Caroline asked.

"Right. I'm the big bad wolf. I have no feelings." Klaus said, grabbing the steering wheel tighter, feeling angry and tense.

"Geez! Someone doesn't know how to take a joke." Caroline said, rolling her eyes.

"You don't need to say it was a joke to protect your life. I won't kill you."

"What are you talking about? Do you really think that I see you as a guy without any feelings?" Caroline asked in disbelief as Klaus parked the car.

"It's late. We can talk tomorrow." Klaus said, getting off the car.

"Klaus." Caroline called him and grabbed his wrist to make him stop and turn around to face her.

"What? Want to tell me how I'm a monster without emotions?"

"Klaus, I was just joking. I made a joke because I know you usually try not to show your emotions and feelings around others." Caroline said. "I don't think you are someone without emotions. That's impossible. Unless you would turn it off. I just... I wasn't expecting you to get concern about how I felt in doing these missions. I mean, I'm just some other hybrid you have."

"Caroline..."

"Today was a long day. I should go to bed." Caroline whispered and went inside, going to her bedroom and quickly changing into a top and some shorts.

Klaus didn't know why but he felt the need to go see Caroline and make her see that she isn't just another hybrid. Klaus knock on her door and when she opened the door, he smirked at her.

"Love, Can we talk?"

"I don't feel like talking, Klaus."

"Fine. I'll be the one doing the talking." Klaus said, letting himself get inside her bedroom.

"What is it, Klaus?" Caroline sighed, closing the door.

"I wouldn't be saying this but because this room is soundproof, I'll say it." Klaus said, making Caroline confused. "You are not just another hybrid. You are meant to be so much more than that. You are fearless, strong, beautiful, protective of the people around you and so full of light... I admire you. I've never met a woman like you before... You are meant to be a leader, that's why my hybrids follow your word. That's why I enjoy having you around. Don't ever think of yourself as just one of my hybrids. You are so much more than that..."

Caroline didn't know what to say after everything that Klaus said, so she simply smiled and hugged him.

"In case you are wondering... you are not a complete awful person."

Next on The Pact

"Will you tell me the real reason you wanted to leave?"

"What are we doing here?"

"And what does all that mean?"

AN: Hey guys! I know it's not on the schedule I made an update of this story but today I decided to post a new chapter on both stories that I'm writing because I'm officially on vacations. The exams are over.
But I do feel that I need to warn you that I will keep the schedule because I need to get ready for September. Why? Because one of my dreams is coming true and in September I will be studying abroad, I'm going to Italy for 6 months and I'll be studying in a great university. I am going to live with a friend and maybe someone I don't know and it will be the first time I will leave on my own and far away from my parents... it will be hard but I know it will be worth it because it was always a dream of mine.
And by sharing with you this big news, I hope you'll see this not only as a warning about me updating in schedule and why I won't do it more frequently but also to make you see that things might be hard but when we fight we can make our dreams come true. I know it can sound cheesy but it's the truth.
And thank you for always being so supportive and making me smile even when I get a bad day. You guys are amazing!
