The Moment She Became His Newfound Obsession

.

.

.

It was an amazing day for Klaus. He was currently in Colorado, celebrating with his army of hybrids in Colorado. Unlike other packs, this group was more than willing to be like him rather than to turn every full moon. They went on a feast, feeding on humans like crazy.

Klaus chose to feed on teenage blondes.

It might be ridiculous, but he was always thinking about Caroline. His lovely human blonde from Mystic Falls. He knew that she was more than what meets the eye. She dealt with him, the monster whose other monsters were afraid. And she was a mere human. He hope she knew how glorious she would be in the future.

I wonder what she's doing right now.

Caroline's heart jumped when she saw that number again. Klaus' number. She saved it. It was the neurotic part of her that did. While biting her lower lip, she cancelled the call and prayed that he would not call.

Her wish was answered. Klaus did not call after that. However, there was a text message.

Her heart fell when she found out that it came from the said hybrid. What did he want with her, anyway?

Don't test me, love.

And then, the phone rang again. Caroline took a deep breath before answering.

"What do you want from me?!" she snapped to cover her nervousness.

"Are you this feisty at night, love? I like it."

"As much as I want to continue our chat, I have so many things to do so, bye!"

The other line chuckled. "Are you afraid of me, sweet Caroline?"

"Are you currently on your schedule of feeding your ego?"

Again, Klaus chuckled. "You are really enjoyable, don't you know that?"

"Please, I'm done being someone's little bitch, so you can apply your senseless compliments to other girls who don't have anything to do. I'm not available."

"Why do you think that I want to make you my little bitch, as you call it?"

"I will not talk my personal life to you," she said, irritated. "Now, what is it that you want?"

"Tell me about your day, sweetheart."

"Seriously?!"

"Indeed. How was your day?"

Is he trying to be like my dad?

"Fine," she grumbled.

"That's good, love. So, what happened?"

Are we seriously doing this?

But what would happen if she were to retaliate? Be a subject of his torture. No, thank you.

"Uhm, well, me and my cheering team did a lot of new steps that are totally new," Caroline started. It was the safest story, she guessed. She looked back at what had happened today in the cheer practice and got excited. "Gosh! I can already picture that bitch Janna's face when we won again because of our new found steps. It would be epic!"

"Hmmm... so you and Rebekah had gotten along?"

"Ugh! No offense, Klaus. But your sister exists to ruin my life," Caroline whined. "She attempted to take the captainship away from me in like her first day and my position in the student council. Good thing I had my cheerleaders and my colleagues in vervaine. Her compulsion didn't work."

When Klaus chuckled, Caroline could not help but giggle. She could not believe that of all people, she was ranting day with Klaus, the Original Hybrid.

"Anyways, because of that, the evil blood slut had actually exerted effort – " She gasped when she realized what she had said. "Sorry!"

"Go on, sweetheart."

"Uhm… well, Rebekah had been the one who actively contributed the steps for the cheerleading competition and we decided that they were all great. Some of them were not really doable, if you know what I mean."

"Rebekah would be happy to know that, Caroline."

"Oh, don't ever tell your sister that I actually said good things to her!" she snapped. "She will just act like bitchy and smug. Ugh!"

Klaus chuckled again.

"Stop laughing!"

"You're really a strange little thing, sweetheart," he said, laughing. Caroline just pouted. "A while ago, I just could sense your fear from here. And now, you're ranting me about my sister."

Oh, right. She was talking to the monster that just made her best friend's life miserable. Ugh, why was she so stupid and careless? "Uhm, yeah," she laughed awkwardly. "How about you, Klaus? How was your day?"

"Do you really want to know?"

His tone told her that she would not want to know whatever he was doing right now or had done these past few days. "Uhm, on the other hand, I really need to hang up. Homework and stuff, you know."

"Alright. Sweet dreams, sweet Caroline."

Klaus' grin was still on his face after his conversation with Caroline. She was truly enjoyable and it was so strange that he found her sweet little ramble adorable while he just tolerated Rebekah's. He made a rewind on Caroline's giggle in his mind. It was the sweetest sound in his thousand years of existence. That girl must really be a fallen angel because everything she did was just too delightful. Even when she was bitchily talking about the other blonde in his life.

He could not wait to come to Mystic Falls again. But that would have to wait. For now, he would have to trust one of his hybrids to take care of his women.

"Mindy, love, come here."

The girl hybrid came.

"What is it, Klaus?"

"How would you like to go to a small, pathetic town?"

Rebekah got ready for school. It was damn too early. Her bitch of a team captain called a meeting and demanded everyone's presence for a pathetic cheering competition that would be held four months from now. What the bloody hell?

She heard her door open.

"Can you have the courtesy to at least knock, Stefan?"

"Someone's looking for you. She said she had a message from Klaus."

Rebekah rolled her eyes. At last, Nik remembered to inform her that he was still well and breathing.

"Tell her to wait."

"Okay, my lady," Stefan had the guts to mock bow to her. What was it with her that she had to deal with infuriating men? After Stefan was gone, she took her precious time preparing herself for school and go to the living room. There, she saw a young brunette with spiky hair.

"And who are you?"

"I am Mindy. Klaus sent me here to look out for you and a girl named Caroline Forbes."

"What?!"

"Klaus said that I have to look for you – "

"Why did he want someone to look out for that blonde bitch?"

Mindy wondered if the Original was pertaining to herself or Caroline Forbes.

"Isn't she his girlfriend?"

Rebekah vamp sped her way to Mindy and looked around. The coast was clear.

"Let's talk outside, shall we?"

Caroline and some of her members were at the school gym, waiting for others to come. When it came to time and meetings, she was very strict and her team knew that. They knew better than be late. The blonde impatiently looked at her cell phone. One minute before the practice was to start and some of her girls were not here. Not even their teacher.

"Alright! Let's start!" Caroline refrained herself from rolling her eyes when she heard their teacher. "Get in your positions, girls."

The other members who were apparently with their teacher ran to their other group mates. The teacher approached Caroline.

"I will take over for today, Caroline. The principal wants to see you."

What would the principal want from her?

I hope not another offer to go to some stupid competition.

And so, she went to the principal's office, only to find Rebekah and a girl being there. Caroline looked at their principal and suddenly got nervous when she wasn't recognized.

"Oh, stop being neurotic, close the door, and sit down, Caroline," Rebekah said, relaxed at her seat. Caroline did what was asked.

"What's happening here, Rebekah?"

"Can't you see? I compelled the principal." The Original blonde rolled her eyes. "I need to talk to you."

"About what?"

Rebekah glanced at the girl beside her. "Oh, well, Caroline, this is Mindy. She's one of my brother's hybrids. Mindy, this is my brother's newfound pet, Caroline. She's all yours."

"Excuse me, but I am so not your brother's pet!" Caroline reacted. "And why do I have to be acquainted by your brother's people?"

"Klaus sent me here to make sure you and Rebekah are safe."

"Seriously?!"

"Alright, I'm out," Rebekah declared and vamp sped her way to the door. "You two, get along and play nice."

Caroline let out an irritated sigh and looked at Mindy.

A grin was suddenly put into Klaus' face when he saw who was calling at his cell phone. Caroline. It was such a troublesome day for him and he needed something that could prevent him from draining more people.

"To what do I owe the pleasure, Caroline?"

"Seriously, you decided to play innocent now?"

"Humour me, love. What is it?"

"What is with you to send one of your minions to guard me?" Irritated, Caroline asked. "The last time, I check I am not connected to you nor you need me for some stupid hybrid making agenda."

"Well, that is certainly true."

"Ugh! Then tell Mindy to stop following me and go to your sister instead."

"And why would I do that?"

"Because I am not something of importance, duh!"

"Oh, but truth to be told, you are."

"To be your little slave girl? I'll pass."

Klaus frowned. Why did she always have to be a handful? "Do not think of my tolerance to you as a weakness, Caroline. Mindy stays and do not try anything funny. You would not like the consequences."
