"Caroline…"
She huffed. "Back off Tyler, before I stake you myself." She was tired of him following her around and trying to apologize.
"I didn't mean to! I said no but it just happened anyway, like it was completely out of my control." He pleaded.
"Bite me." Caroline snapped and then gave a humorless smile. "Oh, wait." And then she slammed the door in his face. "Good for nothing hybrids." She grumbled to herself.
A voice chuckled. "I beg to differ." Klaus stood before her with his lips tipped upwards. "You're looking well today, Caroline."
She didn't dare move. "How did you get in here?" She asked. "Where's my mother?"
"I guess in your haze you forgot that I was invited in yesterday in order to save your life. And your mother is safe at work. I'm not here to harm her."
"Then why are you here?"
He smiled at her. "It seems that you're becoming collateral damage again, sweet Caroline." His voice was eerily soothing. "You see, sweetheart, right now Stefan has the upper hand. Now, I don't like not being in control so I'm going to have to kidnap you. Nothing personal, but I just figured you would be the easiest to get to, now that I have been invited inside. Plus, you wouldn't make for such bad company."
Caroline scoffed. "You're not going to kidnap me." She said with false confidence. "I won't go with you."
Klaus shrugged. "Suit yourself, love." And then he stepped forward at lightning speed and snapped her neck in one swift movement. "I didn't want to have to do that, love." He spoke to her unconscious form. "It will make for quite the lonely card ride. However, you insisted on doing this the hard way."
Klaus bent down, grabbed Caroline's limp wrists and started dragging her out the door. Hopefully, none of the neighbours came out. He didn't have much time to compel anyone.
