Lessons of Love, Chapter 1: Caroline to Klaus, Part 1

"We must develop and maintain the capacity to forgive. He who is devoid of the power to forgive is devoid of the power to love. There is some good in the worst of us and some evil in the best of us. When we discover this, we are less prone to hate our enemies." Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

"Leave," he snarled. His voice was dangerously low, like that of a hurt animal. And that is exactly what Niklaus Mikaelson was, a hurt, dangerous animal. But none of this deferred Caroline Forbes from stepping down.

"No," she said, throwing caution to the wind. She knew that she might be playing with her life by defying him, but Caroline had never been one to back down easily. Especially when she thought her mission was so important.

Within seconds, the Original hybrid had thrown whatever he had been holding at the wall and had her pinned against said wall. He was glaring at her with his deep blue eyes. There was nothing but anger welled up inside his orbs, and for a split second it frightened Caroline, but she put her fear aside. She gulped and stared right back into his eyes, matching his ferocity.

"I told you to leave," he snapped. "I have no desire to see you."

"Well I said no. I'm not going anywhere until you hear what I have to say," Caroline countered evenly in a very as-a-matter-of-fact like voice.

Klaus growled and Caroline could see the emotions conflicting inside him. He finally dropped her, none too gently, to the ground. He turned his back to her, staring into the flames.

"You have five seconds to start talking. Five minutes before I personally throw you out."

"I'm sorry." Was all Caroline said. She said it kindly because she genuinely meant it.

"Thank you for the extension, but I hope you can understand that I refuse to accept your apology," Klaus replied . "I think you know your own way out."

Caroline huffed and turned to leave. She stopped at the threshold of the room they were standing in and whirled around. "You said that I was honest? Well here's honesty for you: You are a complete dick. I come here, on my own accord, when I should not even feel the least bit guilty because of all the havoc you've caused in my home town, to tell you sorry and all you can say is 'leave?' You are my enemy so I know that I shouldn't even bother, I shouldn't even get my hopes up but for some strange reason I let myself believe you would forgive me," Caroline knew she had said a lot, but all the pent up anger and frustration at the hybrid was uncorked and she could not stop there, no matter how many lines she thought she would cross.

"No wonder you're so lonely, Klaus. You don't know the first thing about love. And until you do, no one will ever be able to love you. You are not the only person who has ever been used or played or hurt and you won't be the last even though you'll be around forever. Right now, forever is looking really lonely for you, unless you can learn to live and let live, to move on, to forgive. No it isn't easy, I should be just as broken as you are right now. I've been cheated on, used, played, you name it but I've learned how to take the high road. And, just because I'm a vampire, doesn't mean I have to stop."

Throughout her rampage, Klaus didn't even bother to turn around. He was still frozen to the same spot he had originally been standing in. He was still staring into the flames below him. This enraged Caroline even more but before she burst into another round of screaming, she adjusted her purse on her shoulder, and decided to leave before she got him too riled up.

"So with that, being said, I'm sorry, Klaus. I know what I did was wrong and I feel guilty for doing it because I know what the other side of the bargain feels like. So it's up to you now, you can take it or leave it. Either way, I'm sure I will see you around, the terms will just be up to you."

With that, the blonde vampire strode proudly out of the Mikaelson mansion without a backward glance at the deadly Original.
