Alright kiddos this is not gonna be a happy story in fact there will be character death for probably the first couple chapters. This is not a romance story, any of the feelings Elena develops for Klaus will be similar to stockholmes syndrome where you grow to 'love' your captor because you view them as being loving when they show you compassion and don't abuse you, I'm sure that is probably not the best way to describe it but yeah. There may or may not be rape at some point in future chapters, if there is I will put a warning at the start of said chapter. So yeah I guess that's all the warnings I'm gonna put here! Read on if you'd like!

Klaus' Game

How dare the doppelgänger think she has any right to refuse him! She was nothing more than a tool, allowed to live only by his benevolence. She would pay and as she begged for mercy he would show none for he lacked the capacity. And when she was finally completely broken that is when he would whisk her away, his beautiful blood bag and him would create an army of hybrids and destroy any who opposed him. Klaus smiled to himself imagining Elena's pained face when she received the first part of his vengeance. Ah, he was going to be glad to be rid of both the Salvatore brothers, the ones who made her feel most safe from him.

The package arrived on her doorstep before she had woken. Elena was curious about it, there didn't seem to be anything ominous about the package. Inside was a DVD and a smaller package wrapped with white paper and a neatly tied red ribbon. The note attached said open after watching. Elena grabbed the DVD and placed it in the player sitting down on her couch curious as to what it could possibly be. Screaming. She knew that scream it was Stephan. Her eyes were immediately glued to the screen Stephan was being tortured Elena could here Klaus' horrible laughter in the background, and soon he was in front of the camera

"Hello love! I see the package has reached you!" His voice was jovial. "My dear doppelgänger you see what happens when you don't listen to me? People get hurt. Now be a darling and look in at the present I have sent you"

With shaking hands and tears streaming down her face Elena picked up the elegant package trying to mentally prepare herself for what could be inside. She felt like her heart was going to explode as she saw what was inside, what she could only assume to be Stephan's heart was tucked neatly inside the package. Elena dropped the box vaguely aware of Klaus still talking in the video playing. She had to make sure so she found herself unable to stop watching. Near what seemed to be the end Klaus stopped torturing Stephan and compelled him

"Now tell Elena everything else that is going to happen to the rest of you will be all her fault." Klaus stepped aside so Stephan was now staring at the camera shaking his head as his lips began moving "Everything that happens is going to be all your fault" he said robotically, tears falling from his eyes. Just when Elena thought it was over and maybe she had been wrong Klaus smiled and ripped Stephan's heart from his chest holding it up to the camera as Stephan slumped behind him "I look forward to hearing from you love!" With that the screen fell black.

Elena was gasping for breath at this point her brain struggling to comprehend that what she had just seen was real. Part of her willing herself to wake up from what had to be a nightmare. Stephan couldn't be dead, he just couldn't she needed him. Fumbling Elena somehow managed to call Damon, she didn't really remember doing it but the next thing she knew he was there holding her asking her what the fuck had happened. All she could mutter out was Stephan's name over and over pointing to the box she had dropped. Damon picked it up and saw the heart in the box. "Elena! Tell me what the fuck happened!" Damon couldn't think straight and Elena was just muttering to herself about it not being real. He finally decided to call in the rest of the team. Bonnie and Jeremy arrived first taking in the scene before them. Caroline showed up looking panicked. Alaric was the last to show, but was clearly ready to fight if need be. Elena was still almost catatonic on the couch and of absolutely no use. Caroline and Bonnie helped her up to her room so they could watch the video and try to figure out what had happened. By the time it was done Damon was ready to go rip Klaus' head off without thinking up a plan. Bonnie, Caroline, and Jeremy were stunned into momentary silence. Klaus was evil and he killed people, sure they all knew this. But this. This was on a different level. They worked to calm Damon down enough to get him to listen to a bit of reason. In the end Bonnie had to give him an aneurism to get him to calm him in the slightest.

"What are we going to do…" Caroline thought out loud "And what do we do with Elena.. we can't just leave her like that, she'll be too vulnerable if we do." As she finished talking a puffy eyed Elena stopped in the doorway "I have to go to him. He will hurt you guys if I don't" She said in a quiet and dejected voice. "I.. I can't be responsible for anyone else dying." Elena wiped at her eyes as more tears fell.

"You aren't going anywhere! Are you fucking crazy or just that stupid!" Damon yelled harshly in her face before she could even respond. Caroline pushed him back "Easy Damon.. but he is right Elena" she turned to face her "you can't go to him, we will be fine. We just have to figure out how to take him down for now." Caroline spoke in a soothing voice.

It had been a few days, everything was almost back to normal, at least if you were looking at them from the outside. Alaric, Bonnie, Caroline, Damon, and Jeremy took turns 'babysitting' Elena so she didn't try to take off or do something equally stupid while the others devised a plan to take Klaus down. So far all the plans that they came up with seemed to be ridiculous, they would need more luck then they ever seemed to have to pull off any of them. Damon of course was getting impatient, itching to draw blood. He was mourning the loss of his brother true to Damon form, drinking and having temper tantrums. Klaus hadn't made anymore appearances since Stephan, after a week had passed they all began to relax.

Until one day Damon didn't show up for 'babysitting' duty and wasn't answering his phone. Elena was sufficiently freaking out at this point worried Klaus took him, not that she was wrong. But Alaric tried to assure her that he was just off getting drunk and lost track of time. He knew he was lying to himself and her, in Alaric's mind he figured Damon decided to go off and pick a fight with Klaus since everyone else was off looking for information on how to get rid of Klaus. In her heart Elena knew Damon was going to be dead soon.

She called him repeatedly, desperate for him to pick up. In the brief time she was left alone while everyone thought she was sleeping her phone rang. It was Damon's name that flashed across the screen, she hurriedly picked up "Damon! where have yo-" She was cut off by a british accent on the other end of the line "Not Damon love. I never did hear how you liked the gift I sent you, I was starting to feel a little hurt."

Elena froze, her heart sputtering in fear "What did you do to Damon!" "Now now love. Let's not spoil the surprise. You'll find out soon enough." She could almost hear the smirk that must be plastered on his face. "Give him back, please don't hurt him!" "My dear doppelgänger you have no leverage here" Elena was near tears "Please.." Her voice broke as she spoke. Klaus couldn't help thinking to himself that he should have been rid of the Salvatore brothers long ago. "Now love, listen very carefully." he paused a moment savoring the moment. "You are going to come to my home for a little chat with me. You are not going to bring any of your little friends or tell them where you are going, or Damon isn't going to make it past the moment they come through the door. Understood?" "Yes." Klaus was feeling pretty happy with how his plan was turning out. "Good. See you soon then." with that he hung up leaving Elena to contemplate how to sneak past her 'protection'. Though with Damon gone it would be a lot easier, no vamp hearing and all. Elena poked her head out of her bedroom door looking to see if anyone was in the hall. No one.

She slowly made her way down the stairs listening for anyone. Though given the time even they had probably fallen asleep. As she passed the living room she froze. Alaric was on the couch, for a moment Elena was sure that she was going to be caught by him. As she listened and waited for him to make some move it soon became apparent that he had just fallen asleep there. Letting out a breath of relief Elena grabbed the car keys and slipped out of the house making a beeline for Klaus' home.
