She goes to Erik's room before she tells Klaus. Before she does anything, really - she literally left Logan's room, and it's not like it's far. Not when you compare it to upstairs, to having to take a turbolift and possibly not being able to get down again.

She's there, and she's not crying, she's just standing - and it's a hard thing, standing up to your teacher, your friend, somebody who Caroline's trusted for months, and they just asked her--

Right. Erik's the person she needs to talk to, because he's the one who's been talking about this the most. Accept who you are. That it's not bad, who she is. And still, she's got what Mystique said just sort of hovering around the back of her mind, it has been since she said it; How do you take yourself seriously?

And she just knocks, not even sure what she'll say.

"He's not getting anywhere with me," she said sharply. "He's- do you understand? I trusted him."

And she takes a deep breath, and she shakes her head when he's asked her if it was easy. "I... I was in a car accident." She looks up at him, and she needs to say this, because he says she's a marvel. "And they gave me vampire blood to heal me. My- I was-" And she pauses, and then spoke quickly, quietly because she hasn't actually told anyone else this. "I was suffocated until I- until I died. As a message, and with the vampire blood in my system, there we go. I'm a vampire. I'm dead and I'm a vampire and it was for a message to someone else." She shrugs like it doesn't matter, and she's shaking her head.

"How can you say I'm a marvel?" She asked it like she couldn't believe it.
