Caroline hated working late nights in the office. Her boss would literally squeeze the life out if her, and by the end of every day she would believe that a life sitting at home, doing nothing was quite better than taking orders from him.

Sometimes she wanted to go back to her past with the help of some time-machine and correct the mistakes she did in her career. But it was not possible.

Caroline huffed unlocking her car from the distance and felt a presence lingering around her in that cellar. At the late hour she found no car. Her heart was thumping fast against her chest as she took a moment to scold herself mentally. This was another reason she hated working over-night always.

Without turning back she rushed towards her car and opened her door.

"I know you felt my presence Caroline." An unfamiliar soft voice purred from behind and it froze her instantly. Though, his voice didn't sound so cold though, she didn't have any weapon to protect herself Caroline prepared to face him with her handbag. Clutching to the handle of her bag firmly she threw the bag to knock him as she turned around to face the stranger.

He backed away before any damage could happen and a surprised chuckle escaped from his lips.

Caroline was about to run away but he grasped her by wrists and brought her attention to his face.

She never saw him till now and she didn't know how he learned her name. His dark brown eyes, brutally split lips and piercing above his eyebrow made her tremble in fear. She stamped on his foot and earned a groan. That act made him to shake her by shoulders and she received a slap from him.

Caroline lost her balance as she let out a painful moan. She felt like whole world spun around her. By the time she stood straight, she spotted another figure approaching them. Rubbing her forehead, Caroline looked at the new guy who stood beside the first one.

"Get the fuck out of here!" the first one told second.

So they were not together? And good to know—

For almost a moment Caroline didn't believe what she saw.

He was back!

The person who murdered almost fifty people? She didn't know the exact count, but she clearly knew how ruthlessly he killed them. All those men. Including Damon, her best friend's brother. And she was there when he killed Damon.

Memories of that night gave chills to her.

She was the primary witness and she was the reason that he was sent to prison.

She had believed so for almost a year. Now his return brought her hatred and fear back to life.

This person – Klaus, his eyes were gleaming coldly as he had that man in his grasp. There was a smirk playing on his lips as he spoke again teasingly. "Oh, sweetheart, you remember me? That is very nice. I thought I have to remind you everything from the very beginning."

It took her almost a minute to analyze that he spoke directly to her.

Before she registered what really happened with the first guy, Caroline saw blood on the floor.

She noticed Klaus taking a knife from the first man's body. Caroline's jaw dropped, touched to the ground. She barely breathed when Klaus stabbed the dark haired guy again with the same old sinister smirk on his face.

"Good night, mate." He purred as he drove knife into the guy's stomach one final time.

Caroline gasped when the lifeless body collapsed and at the same time her mind really started to function. She turned to run away when Klaus grasped her elbow pretty tight and it made her to whimper in pain. She let out a scream and Klaus placed knife on her throat—very coolly—as if he was ready slice her neck open with no bother.

"Now, now we don't want something happen to you, do we?" he asked callously in a thick tone of voice as he pressed his knife to her neck. The coolness of that metal sent shivers to her frame.

Her vision blurred because of water. A tear then slowly slipped to her cheek as her lips trembled anxiously.

"Hmm?" he buzzed as if he wanted to make sure.

Caroline managed to nod while her gaze fell upon her first attacker. He was squirming on the cold floor, completely out of breath, and he desperately needed help. Momentarily he locked gaze with hers and Caroline zoned out. It was clear—he was—

Her thought didn't even end when he stopped to fight.

Another life ended in front of her eyes. He didn't make it.

One more tear crawled to her cheek then as she looked at Klaus blankly. The darkness in his stormy blues, the coldness in his smile, the aura around him made Caroline to lose her gut all at a time. She lately found that she was being squished between him and her car. Taking a fraction of second to register the amount of blood on his palm, Caroline managed to gulp slightly.

"Get in the car." He ordered softly.

She felt her knees buckle and she didn't want anything more than to hug herself pretty tight. She didn't expect a day would turn like this.

Of course, no one would want a nightmare coming to life.

Caroline didn't dare to even glance at Klaus.

Her gaze was fixed on the road as she drove her car. The silence killed remaining of her confidence. Many thoughts ran in her mind at super speed and all were about the ways of getting out of this trouble—Klaus.

"We are going to your place." He said without looking at her.

Maybe she would get a chance to get out, after all. She could seek any kind of help from her neighbors?

"This area certainly did not change." He remarked as if he was discussing with his friend. Glancing at her pale face after a very long time, Klaus smirked. "If I really wanted to kill you, I would have done it back there, Caroline. Or maybe the day I escaped from the prison?" he chuckled lightly. "I have no intentions to kill you. So you can relax."

Caroline's forehead creased in bafflement. Well, wasn't it good? But she really didn't want to trust him. Every serial killer would say the same thing.

"I am a man of my word, love." He purred while he gave a sideward glance. "Just relax and focus on your driving."

"Then what do you want with me?" she dared to ask, and she sounded pathetic.

Klaus looked out in front of him before he turned to say. "You and I have some unfinished business."

Caroline swore that a part of her had fallen numb right after that.

"You have a beautiful house." Klaus put his hands into pockets as he looked around Caroline's living room.

Caroline stepped aside and fiddled with her phone, obviously planned to call cops. He scrutinized every corner finely before he walked to her and took away her phone smoothly.

"It has been a long day, Caroline. Why don't you fresh up while I prepare dinner for you?" he suggested.

Needless to say, his behavior drove her crazy. He acted all the way as if they were thickest friends who got separated a while ago.

Good or bad—she wanted to end it now.

She raised palm and made him to stop whatever bullshit he was planning to do with her. Controlling herself Caroline exhaled slowly.

"What do you want?" she asked seriously. She needed a straight answer. That blood gave her enough creepy chills throughout the way. "If you didn't come to avenge, then what's your purpose?"

His lips bent into a lifeless smile as he made his way to kitchen. "You thought I came to kill you while I intend to do something else." Caroline followed him quietly into the room and she decided to take her cooking knife in order to defend when the time comes. Klaus put his weapon under the water and washed it carefully like he wouldn't get another one. After he cleaned it, he placed it in her hands when she searched for her knife. "Just in case if you still don't trust me, keep this with you." Klaus stated.

With that act, Caroline slowly started to believe that he really didn't come to kill her. And he confused her at the same time. A cautious Caroline kept her distance from him when he glanced up at her.

"It is really nice meeting you in person, Caroline."

Those words took her by surprise.

He smiled, genuine one. "I really waited for so long to meet you."

"You—You're not angry with me?" she blurted, paled out.

Klaus opened the fridge and found cup-o' noodles. "Never in a lifetime." When he faced her again he shook head and confirmed. Caroline glanced between his face and plastic cups in his hands. "You wouldn't mind if I eat? I didn't eat anything for two days." He smiled lightly.
