"Klaus?" I heard the little witch call my name as I slowly maneuvered out of my hiding place.
When she first caught sight of me she let out a gasp followed by a fit of giggles. Of course the idiotic witch would be laughing, this was perfect for her. The big bad was now in the body of a big brown mutt. I lowered my head and let out a growl baring my teeth at her in warning.
She straightened up and asked "How?" as she walked closer eyeing me like I had on a clown suite. This was ridiculous I thought as I lunged at her pinning her down on the ground snarling in her face.
Her face was full of fear now as she started to tremble underneath my paws. I backed off just a bit and thought; "Now that's more like it."
"I don't know what happen" she started to speak fast. "I will find out though and I will fix it"
I watched her facial features change from scared to confusion. I growled again as my patience was not something I was known for. My life was in the hands of what had to be the most idiotic witch on the planet.
"You, stay here. I'll come back when I have it figured out" She pointed towards the cave.
Did this little witch just give me an order? No one tells Klaus what to do! With that thought I turned and took off to the one place I could find my sister, Mystic Falls High.
I sat at the edge of the parking lot scanning all the cars looking for Rebekah's. That's when my eyes caught sight of my blonde Angel. She was leaning up against her car and "her" dog was ravishing her. Do women even like this treatment? Being ravished in a parking lot? Women can certainly not like this, she's still a lady.
I quickly got onto my paws and headed over to them letting out a bark on the way over. Both of them turned and looked at me as I approached. Caroline had a very sweet smile on her face as she leaned down and called me over. While Tyler looked like something smelled really bad. Just the reaction I was looking for Mate, I thought while sitting in front of Caroline.
"Now who are you handsome man?" Caroline asked while smushing my face in between her hands. I let out a whine and that seemed to work her up even more as she moved her hands to my ears and massaged them.
Most men would find this degrading. Most men would think, look at the big bad being talked to like a baby. Most men are not me and at this moment I was in Heaven. My blonde Angel looking at me like I was special and not being able to keep her hands off me. Most men would not sink so low, I on the other hand will take what I can get.
"Ahh, Caroline!" Tyler said while grabbing her arm and pulling her into him. "It could have rabies." He spit out
I lowered my head and let out a growl as I approached Tyler. He did what any sissified boy would do and threw Caroline in front of him blocking myself from him.
Caroline turned and shoved him. "Tyler, knock it off! He's sweet and he may be lost."
I took this as my cue and gently lifted my leg letting myself release onto Tyler's leg.
"OH SHH.." Tyler snapped
This made Caroline happy as she started laughing. It was like the Angel was singing, it sounded beautiful.
"Caroline, Let's go! NOW!" Tyler yelled
"I am not leaving him." She looked over and gestured my way.
"I am not going anywhere that dog is going!" He shouted at her again
The anger was boiling inside of me watching him talk to my Caroline like this. Who does he think he is to treat her like she was nothing? It was he that was nothing; it was he that was not deserving of my Angel.
Caroline walked over and kneeled in front of me again. Letting her fingers play in my hair. "Bye Tyler!" was all she said which made him huff away angry. I lifted my head proud.
"Well, after that stunt I would have to say you're the ALPHA male" She said highlighting the word Alpha. Well this was nice, even as a dog I could hold my place.
"Come on" she gestured to her car. "I am taking you home."
I scanned the parking lot as I thought quickly over my options. Spend some time with Caroline where she dotted on me or trying to convince my sister that I was inside a dogs body? I leaped into Caroline's car sitting on the passenger seat. This choice was one of the easiest ones of my existence.
We pulled out of the parking lot as Caroline leaned over to turn on the music.
"I LOVE THIS SONG!" She screeched making my head automatically tilt as I eyed her.
"EVERYBODYS GOT A DARK SIDE, CAN YOU LOVE ME, CAN YOU LOVE MINE?" She shouted out the lyrics while turning to me.
"You like Kelly Clarkson too?" She asked not expecting an answer for she was already turned back towards the road and singing.
"NO BODY IS PICTURE PERFECT, BUT YOUR WORTH IT, YOU KNOW THAT YOUR WORTH IT."
She brought her hand over and scuffed up my hair a little as she turned to me again and sang "Can you love me, even with my dark side?"
Yes, Caroline I thought. I can, can you love mine?
"We are home" She sang opening my door for me as I jumped out.
"My mom should be ok with you until we find out if you have a home already. I can't imagine you not having a home, you're so sweet." She said opening the front door wide enough for us both to walk in.
You have no idea how sweet I could be to you Caroline, if you would just take a chance. I frowned inwardly at how open she could be with me as a dog but not with me in my own body.
"Come on boy" She called and I was snapped out of my thoughts as I followed her upstairs.
We walked into her room and she shut the door behind us. "No barking" she snapped which made me tilt my head at her order. "Please" she purred out. Oh my angel anything for you.
She slid on top of her bed pulling her back pack along with her. She started sorting things and fanning the books out in front of her. She leaned back onto the head board letting her hair fall all around the front of her face. I watched as her facial features had changed to that of happy to being sad. I watched her hand go to a piece of paper on her nightstand and she gently brought it up to her eyes tracing whatever was on it with her fingertips.
I slowly walked over and sat next to the bed letting my head lay on the edge. She turned and looked at me as the tears started to touch the tips of her lashes. Why was my Angel so sad? I thought.
She set the paper on her lap and I looked down at it. My whole body stilled at the sight of it. It was my drawing, the one I gave her after the Ball. She kept it, even after everything, even after my "death".
She took her hands and slowly wiped the tears from her face and then smiled down at me. "You know that whole Alpha show you put on today reminded me of someone." She giggled a little at her thought.
"So until we find out your REAL name, I am going to call you Klaus."
I barked loudly excited that she had thought of me and then quickly remembered the no barking rule. I squinted waiting for the punishment but all I heard was laughing.
"Aweee, I am glad you like it that much." She said leaning down to kiss my furry cheek.
"I think we can be good friends KLAUS" she let my name role off her tongue in such a way I had never heard it like that.
For the first time I actually felt I had a real chance with the Angel sitting in front of me. Maybe the witch wasn't as stupid as I had thought.
