Klaus, who was in Tyler's body because of the spell Bonnie did to save her friends, was lying in his bed in the Lockwood Mansion. He was staring up at the ceiling thinking about the Day's events. He had gotten back to his new home after talking to the Salvatore's Great, Great, Great, Great, Great niece, Elizabeth Salvatore. She was a beautiful woman to him, her looks even contending with Caroline Forbes. The radio was turned on a set station and a song started to play. He couldn't help but to think of its resemblance to his encounter that day with Miss Salvatore.
All Day, starring at the ceiling
Making friends with shadows on my wall
All night, hearing voices telling me
Maybe I should get some sleep
Because tomorrow might be good for something
Hold on, I feel like I'm headed for a
Breakdown and I don't know why
He did as the song said. He turned it off and kicked his boots off. He took his shirt off. He lay on top of the covers, going to take a nap in his jeans. He didn't have a great encounter with Elizabeth. He wanted to use her against her uncles as his secret weapon, but somehow Tyler got through and warned her about Klaus' intentions. Klaus could tell that even though Tyler and Elizabeth were never together, Tyler cared for her so deeply he would protect her as if they were together. Tyler was going to be a problem, but it's not like Klaus could get rid of him. All spells have consequences and having to share Tyler's thoughts, memories, and actions were part of them. He would have to slowly adjust to the fact that if he can't get his body restored, that he would have to live like this forever, or until he could get a different body.
*Later that night*
Klaus woke up from a sleep that didn't last long. It was strange. It was as if he was a ghost and Tyler was Tyler. Tyler was in his football jersey and jeans. Then he could see a girl in a cheer uniform running past him. Tyler took off after the girl. The girl turned around mid-run and ran a few steps backwards. He saw the girls face. Her dark brown hair, her brown eyes. Her small lip that was in the form of a smile. Could it truly be…?
Klaus was watching Tyler Lockwood chase Elizabeth Salvatore in the middle of the night in the forest! Klaus did even have to move his legs to follow the two. Elizabeth turned back around and ran forward. Tyler was faster though. He caught her and gentle pushed her back against a tree. His face rested against her tree. He placed both of his hands on her waist, she hand her forearms resting on his forearms. They looked into each other's eyes but never did anything.
Klaus could tell it wasn't a dream or a memory, but more of a fantasy. Tyler must have fantasied about being with Miss Salvatore before. He knew this information would be useful to him but what to use it as? A wedge between Tyler and Elizabeth? Blackmail for Tyler? Or just to use as his personal gain? Walking on this Earth for over one thousand years may have you believing that he has learned well enough over the years on how to use the right information on the right person, but it's quite the opposite. He has to write down what the information is or was and plan out where it would be used and for what reason. He thought of it. Klaus took out Tyler's cell phone and texted Elizabeth:
When I'm not crazy I'm just a little unwell
I know right now you can't tell
But stay a while then maybe you'll see
A different side of me
I'm not crazy I'm just a little impaired
I know right now you don't care
But soon enough you're gonna think of me
And how I used to be.
After hitting the send button Klaus blacked out.
I been talking in my sleep,
Pretty soon they'll come to get me
After he woke up, Klaus found himself in his bed when he knew just moments ago he was standing by his closet on the other side of the room. There would be no way where he would have fallen onto the bed at all. It must have been Tyler who escaped and shunned Klaus out for a while. They he could feel vervain and wolfs-bane enter his system. He looked to either side of him and saw Damon Salvatore and Matt Donavan carrying him away.
Yeah, they're taking me away
When I'm not crazy I'm just a little unwell
I know right now you can't tell
But stay a while then maybe you'll see
A different side of me
I'm not crazy I'm just a little impaired
I know right now you don't care
But soon enough you're gonna think of me
And how I used to be.
As soon as Matt and Damon got outside, there was someone to rescue Klaus. It was Elizabeth Salvatore. "Matt! Damon! Don't do this. He's Tyler; I don't know what you're thinking. Him?! Being Klaus?! You're crazy!"
"Liz, just get inside the car." Matt said dropping Klaus' left arm and taking Elizabeth by the small of her back and forcing her into the car. She didn't take it too kindly when he did that, she made a swift maneuver to kick him where it counts. He fell to the ground in a fetal position holding what was left of his manhood.
Damon dropped Klaus' right and walked up to his niece. He moved the hair from her face so he could look into her eyes. He was above compelling her. Only if it involved saving her life or something like that would he do it, but not in a situation like this. After their intense stare down he caved in. "Fine. But if he is Klaus, You'll be the one to blame." Damon then picked Matt up by the collar of his shirt and threw him into his car. He drove off leaving Elizabeth with a knocked out Klaus/Tyler. She wrapped her arms under his and began to drag him back into his house and up the grand staircase.
She finally made it to Tyler's room after about five minutes. She placed Tyler in his bed. She placed the covers on him. Then Tyler peered into being him and not Klaus. Elizabeth went to leave but Tyler gently grasped her hand. "Don't leave me." He said, almost in a pleading way. Elizabeth nodded. Tyler lifted up the covers with what strength he had left. She got under and for the rest of the night and early the next morning, they cuddled together not talking. Elizabeth would find out what the meaning behind Tyler's message and his plead, but all in time.
