PROLOGUE
Waltz of Insanity
"You're a monster!" Caroline exclaimed as she pounded her fists into Klaus' chest. She saw his yellow eyes widen as his face transformed to something more humane.
"A monster? Then you are one just like me, love. We are vampires. It's our nature. You are pathetic to try and suppress it!" he spat in disgust.
Klaus did not want to argue with her. He thought she was very interesting when she wasn't angry. All he did was disgust her with his wild ways. The blonde could be very stubborn and childish at times.
He grabbed the red-haired girl who lay sprawled at his feet and tilted her chin away from him, exposing her lean neck to him. He slowly brushed her wavy hair behind her shoulders.
"Tell me you cannot hear her blood flowing in her veins, Caroline. That your whole body isn't burning with desire to taste it. That you aren't dying to sink your fangs into her soft skin." He whispered seductively, ignoring the look of disgust that Caroline wore on her face.
The Original smiled and sank his teeth into the neck of the young girl in his arms, relishing the sweet taste of blood in his mouth. He looked up suddenly when he heard Caroline shriek.
The blonde's face was altered. Her eyes were swollen and red, with red and blue veins radiating from her eyes towards her cheeks. She looked like fear personified.
"You are disgusting" she growled. Her hands shook in an attempt to control herself and not attack the fallen girl a few feet away.
"You are a pitiable creature, incapable of feeling anything."
"I know what I feel for you" he teased. He knew it was not a good time to flirt with her, but he could not control himself. Caroline was beautiful, more beautiful when allowed her true nature to surface and he felt strangely attracted to her. Nevertheless, it did not make her worthy of his worry.
"You do not feel anything for me." she growled. "You already turned off your humanity a long time ago. You can no longer pretend to have feelings. You are nothing but an animal. A monster."
Klaus was not easily offended, but could not deny that her trial had irritated him. Mikael used to say that he was just an animal and should eat with the dogs because he would never be more than that.
"Shut up!" he growled, pushing Caroline away.
She seemed a little shocked by his outburst, but composed herself quickly. The blonde stood up.
"Did I touch a nerve, Klaus?" she teased, smiling unwillingly.
He felt his fangs sting, and realized that he had growled at her.
"You think you're so important. I've got news for you, Caroline: I do not care about you. Nothing is preventing me from biting you and leaving you insanely craving death."
"A few seconds ago you were attracted to me," the vampire snorted.
He rolled his eyes, wondering where his brother, Kol, was. They had gone out to hunt - or chase Caroline as Kol liked to say - and he had caught her feeding on a rabbit.
Niklaus knew that the blonde did not like eating animals and was confused. Kol, to assuage the feelings of the hybrid, had grabbed a redheaded girl. Although Klaus knew his younger brother just wanted to see everything on fire, the oldest Mikaelson had taken the girl to Caroline. And that's how it all began.
"What I feel for you," he muttered, rounding circling her like a tiger, "is nothing more than a dirty, sick feeling. Just like what you feel for me. Oh, Caroline Forbes, you are completely broken. You're rotten inside. And your fake smiles cannot fool me. Which one of us is the real monster, love?" He asked before sinking his teeth into her jugular.
The blood of a vampire did not taste the same as human blood. This blood was more acidic. Much thinner than that of a human. It was intoxicating. Almost like liquor.
The blonde screamed in agony as the werewolf venom entered her bloodstream. Klaus wrapped an arm around her waist, pulling her closer, wanting to drain her completely. The connection that formed between them as he sucking the life out of her, killing her with his poison, was stronger than any bond. The Original closed his eyes in ecstasy for second before it the moment was broken by the sound of his brother screaming his name. Gone was the warmth that engulfed them. All that burned was the fire in his heart that mimicked his current state of insanity.
