Who: Caroline and Klaus
What: Klaus teaching Caro better feeding habits
Where: a club in Lawrence
When: tonight
Warnings: well vampires feeding on humans for one and I will so update this as the log progresses

To say that Caroline was feeling nervous was a pretty damn big understatement. Part of it was nerves, fear that she would hurt someone--kill someone--and that was something she definitely did not want to do. She also knew that continuing to stay away from ever feeding on humans, to keep going as long as she had without doing so, was going to come back and bite her in the ass eventually. How was she supposed to gain any kind of control over it if she didn’t ever do it?

She knew she couldn’t rely on blood bags forever--not that it wouldn’t stop being her main source of feeding--but there would definitely come a time when she wouldn’t be able to have access to blood bags and while she could feed from animals it wasn’t exactly the best nourishment. And if it went on long enough it might end up snapping her control in half, something she wasn’t about to let happen.

So Caroline had decided to accept the idea of Klaus helping her learn how to do it properly. She truly did trust that he wouldn’t let her fall, he wouldn’t let her needlessly kill anyone. She trusted him with all of her being which in itself was a damn scary prospect but one that she couldn’t deny. Plus it got him to finally go with needing to tell Henrik about everything that had happened to his family, about what all of his siblings had become and that was something she knew needed to happen. No matter how much they all seemed to want to put it off.

Caroline’s body throbbed to the music of the club, watching the dancers on the floor grind up against one another, those at the bar taking shots, drinking various types of alcohol, and she couldn’t help but smile. Even if her stomach was doing that damn annoying twisty thing. She linked her fingers with Klaus’, turning to look at him.

“So...where do we start, oh wise one?”

She'd finally agreed to let him help her. Alright so she'd gotten there when he had agreed that he would join his siblings in explaining the truth to the youngest of them. The newly arrived Henrik. Something he still wasn't sure he wanted to do, shatter the boy's illusions of their shared past. Klaus had built a thousand year history of deceit and lies and yet with Caroline that all faded. She was his light. That beautiful and kind girl that he still didn't understand why he had fallen so deeply for. He wouldn't change her, change this, for the world but it confused him. She made him care more deeply than anyone ever had, he'd changed long held plans for her, he hadn't killed Katherine Pierce because of her, he'd given Stefan his blood to cure him from his own bite, in part because of how she'd have reacted, he hadn't done so much of what he normally was capable of simply because it would upset her.

And now they were here and part of Klaus wondered if this wouldn't diminish that light, just a little. But he was honestly doing this to help her. She had such control, he wondered if she couldn't make it stretch to this. She couldn't live forever on animal blood and she was far from a Ripper, she'd just learned from Stefan."

Her hand was linked in his and she looked ready, she looked beautiful but that wasn't unusual. "First thing you need to remember. I have killed, I do, I've never cared for my victims. I'd find someone in this club, drain them, drop them, move on. But for you, because of you, that's different here. I'm telling you this not to win favour but so you understand that I have crossed every line I'm going to teach you not to so don't look to me as your role model in this. Now Alexia, and her lover, do you expect they feed on bears and pigs and wild dogs. No they feed, they drink from humans and very likely this is how. Thing about a place like this is you can be blatant. Grab some insipid idiot, few words in their ear, get them on to the dance floor or a quiet corner and you can take what you need. That's the easy bit. It's stopping before you've taken it all, that's the trick."

And that was what Caroline would need to learn most of all, and that was why he was with her here. In truth someone like Alexia probably would have been a better teacher but he had offered the lesson and his love had accepted.

Klaus moved to stand behind her, hand still linked loosely in hers as the other slid around her waist.

"You need to pick someone. Anyone."

Caroline’s grip tightened on his hand for a moment after he said those words. She needed to pick a victim. And that’s when she shook her head, trying to clear that word from her mind. They weren’t a victim, they would not die. They would go on living their lives, no wiser to what had happened, and the thought of that twisted inside of her, unsettling in her stomach. Memories of when she’d been Damon’s meal flashed in her head and she shut her eyes, trying to blink away those thoughts, to now allow them to implant roots in her mind and twist her way of thinking.

Damon hadn’t cared what he did to her. She knew he had wanted to make her fearful, to hurt her because of his own issues. And that wasn’t who Caroline was; she wouldn’t make others hurt or fear her on purpose. The first person she had ever drank from was still walking around Mystic Falls, living her life and doing her job. Though it seemed the nurse’s sex life with her husband had definitely kicked up a notch because of that little compulsion to cover up the fact she’d been bitten.

Caroline could do this. She knew Klaus wouldn’t let her go too far if she got lost in the bloodlust. Maybe others would never trust him, but she did trust the Hybrid, especially when it came to her own safety. And he didn’t just care about her physical safety but her mental as well and killing someone when she fed would significantly hurt her, something Caroline knew Klaus wouldn’t let happen.

She gazed around the room, trying to find someone who was by themselves. She didn’t want the effort of luring anyone away from their friends. “Dark haired guy over at the bar. All the way back in the corner. He’s by himself and no one’s approached him since we came in and he looks like he’d like some company,” she told Klaus, looking back at him. “What do you think?”
