Disclaimer: TVD is not owned by me. It would be a very different story if it was owned by me.
A/N: This is part of my 50 fic challenge to myself = because I love and miss Klaus, and there's 4 months until Season 4. This is my first drabble and I've been thinking of this idea for a while and was inspired by 3x22. It's become some sort of rhyming/prose but I hope you like it despite this.
and please review. Ta lovelies.
The Devil's Example
She will bleed.
Unable to be freed.
The Devil's example.
-:-
Klaus Mikaelson stood outside the school.
She had been taken, luring him to his death.
But he will not satisfy the Devil,
the original - created to destroy them.
Alaric was all their strengths combined.
-:-
The Salvatore brothers,
with a bond he was always jealous of,
had left him out front.
He could hear her screams.
He could hear his taunts.
-:-
Klaus forced the doors open.
Heightened senses, led him to
the room in question.
Alaric sat waiting.
She sat suffering.
-:-
Her eyes were damp.
He smelt vervain: tortured
for his own amusement.
'I was hoping it would be you.'
'You just signed your death wish.'
-:-
Alaric shrugged, removed his feet from
the desk. She whimpered, pleading
for her life. If only he could
tear apart the Devil's heart -
for hurting his girl.
-:-
Sweet and pure, Alaric hoped
she would be Klaus' downfall.
'Let her go free'
'Be my guest'
Klaus followed his gesture, warily.
-:-
Why should he care? Why
let him share these 'happy' moments,
when death may be his end. Releasing
her bonds, whispering words of forgiveness,
hope and love.
-:-
'Why do this, if you will let her be?'
Confusion, spiralled through him.
This wasn't meant to be. He had
been lured, he was sure of it.
If not his death, than whose?
-:-
Twisted, calculative and on Esther's orders.
Alaric smirked, twisting that enchanted stake.
'She won't last the night'- despair.
loss.
hatred.
-:-
Klaus gently lay her to the floor.
Flung himself at Alaric -
revengeful! acting on impulse.
Intent to murder. Salvatore brothers
near. The Witch ready.
-:-
To save one life,
another must be taken.
Sinking hearts; terror!
A band of brothers unite.
Saving all, but one.
-:-
Magic channelled his body.
The Bennett voice echoed in his ears.
Finally, a team - Klaus, Stefan, Damon
trapped this spiteful monster,
stopping his heart.
-:-
Awe, relief, magic washed over them.
Klaus was by her side, offering her
his blood in a hope it might cure her condition.
What had he done?
His soul, witnessed by enemies.
-:-
Taking her breathless figure to
meet the Witch, desperation over took him.
Did it matter they could see the truth?
That Caroline brought out his humanity?
That without her: his life would have no meaning.
