AN: Hey guys! I know it has been foreversince I have started writing a fan fiction. Well here is one! I'm hopping on the bandwagon! I love Klaroline since we met Klaus, but just now got a spin off idea for them since they had that scene together. I am following loosely by the show, but some parts will be different obviously.

I do not own any of the characters! They belong to Julie Plec and Kevin Williamson!

Chapter 1 It's a Part of Life

He's gone. My dad is dead. He drew his dying breath and entered eternal sleep.

It was late at night and Caroline Forbes was having trouble sleeping .She heard a noise coming from her window and she jerked her head to check it out. She starred at the window for a while, but nothing happened.

"Just the wind," she exhaled in relief.

Then just as she started to relax the noise started up again. The window was forced open and she jumped up. She was expecting… no, hoping that it was Tyler. There was blonde hair in place of black. Matt? She thought. He hasn't done this for… ages. He was dressed in a black jacket, military style. That wasn't Matt. He stuck to plaid button-up shirts. The man stood up straight and Caroline gasped, "Klaus."

Klaus nodded his head and walked over towards Caroline. He wrapped his arm around her, engulfing her in a hug. "I'm sorry for your lose, love," he said and kissed the top of her head, patting down her blonde curls.

"How did you know?" she asked, looking up at the hybrid. It was clear in her eyes that she had been crying all night and that she was struggling to hold back new ones.

"I have friends in high places," he said. He dropped an arm from her and motioned toward her bed. "Let's sit," he said. He started pushing her towards the bed until she obliged.

Caroline dropped onto the bed and fell into Klaus. She still didn't like him, despite him saving her life, but he was still the bad guy. She didn't want to be alone though, either.

"It's a part of life, love. People live and then they die," he said. He felt a tight tug on his grey shirt. He looked down and saw blonde hair moving back and forth, and warm drops of water dispersing on his shirt.

"It sucks," she said, grabbing onto his shirt.

"I know, love, but it was going to happen sooner or later... wasn't it?" he asked, looking into Caroline's glimmering eyes.

"There are so many things I still need him for," she sobbed. Her hands had a tight grip on Klaus' shirt, if she pulled back it could rip.

"You still have your mom for all of that," he whispered against the top of her head. "You have me too," he said.

Caroline looked up at Klaus, loosening her grip on his shirt. "B-but you're the bad guy. You tried to kill me… twice," she said. There was already too much for her to wrap her mind around. She was becoming overwhelmed.

"But I also saved your life," he reminded.

How could she forget. That's how he could sneak into her house whenever he wanted to now.

Her tears stopped and she sniffled. "How many times have you done this?" she asked. "Snuck into my room," she said.

Klaus let out a quiet laugh. "You're strange," he said. "Even after the death of your father, you think of me sneaking into your bedroom," he said. He shook his head, "Just this one time," he assured her.

"Well, you seem like the Rapunzel type. That or Edward, who sneaks into a young girl's bedroom to watch her sleep," she said. He told her only the once and she looked down. "Whatever," she mumbled, not liking to be wrong about things.

He chuckled, amused by the comparisons she was making about him. He was more the Cinderella type, less hair involved. He refused to see the comparison between him and a fictional, glittery vampire. A disgrace among the legends. The real vampires were much scarier, and he and his hybrids were even more so.

"Speaking of princesses," he said.

Caroline leaned back and looked at Klaus. Her green eyes looking at him in curiosity.

"My family and I are having a party, a ball," he said. "I am inviting you," he offered.

She bit down on her lip and looked away. This was a really bad time. She just lost her father and Klaus was asking her to go to a party, shop for a dress, etc. "I don't know," she said.

"Come on, love. You need the distraction," he said. His hand cupped under chin, forcing her to look at him. "You can't be sad forever," he said. "You won't be. Dying is just a part of life," he said. "Even for vampires," he finished.
