Chapter 2
(Setting: Unknown. Present time.)
Caroline landed roughly on a broken tree log and flinched, she had landed in the most awkward position. Whoever brought her here was going to get a mouthful when she finds out who exactly it was.
Standing up with a huff, she straightened out her ruffled clothes ran her hands through her curly blonde hair and felt something moving between a few strands of her hair. Caroline shuddered before removing the crawly from her hair and came face to face with a beetle. Caroline resisted the urge to just throw the insect and slowly inched down in a crouched position, letting the beetle down onto a leaf before she stood up and pushed her way through trees, desperately searching for a way out of here.
This was not how her day was supposed to end. She was supposed to meet Tyler at the old Lockwood Estate.
Oh no, Tyler! I need to get out of here. I need to return home and back to Tyler!
Caroline pushed herself to move faster, even if it was clumsier for her. She tripped over branches and hit in the face and torso with loose tree branches but she didn't care. She had to return home to Tyler!
In what felt like days to Caroline she saw daylight and mountains into the distance and she let out a joyful laugh, glad that she was getting closer to finding her way out of this place.
Moving her legs faster, she broke out into a run, using her vampiric speed, for once glad that she had her vampire abilities, only to run face to chest into someone and she grew tense as the person gagged her and inserted a vervain dart into her tense body which then sagged when the vervain took effect on her body.
(Setting: Unknown. Present time.)
Klaus had previously searched the entire beach for any signs of living human beings but so far he had found nothing living and he was close to losing his temper. He didn't like it here, at all.
He was currently searching through the high and low of the mountains and was on to the last mountain when he heard it.
Screams were sounding around him and he growled and punched a tree in half and then he punched another two trees and watched on as they fell to the ground in half as the screaming grew worse. Somebody was in pain and he could hear and feel the pain that the person was feeling.
The screams came louder and even louder as he neared the top of the mountains. So he pushed himself to go faster, he sped over the mountains in vampiric speed so he could find whoever who was screaming and end their life so he wouldn't have to hear their pathetic screams in his thoughts.
Klaus pushed himself to go faster and indeed he ran faster. Just then the screaming stopped, leaving a dumbfounded Klaus. He was confused as to why the screaming had stopped but he was relieved that it actually had stopped. But it still left the Hybrid curious.
Klaus saw a cabin in the corner of his eyes and in a matter of seconds he had reached the cabin at the top of the very last mountain and he forced a charming smile onto his features as he knocked on the cabin door and waited for the owner of the house to open the door.
He heard the door creak open and when he glanced over at the door he saw a teenage girl staring back at him with a quizzical look on her face which made Klaus smirk.
"Hello there, I was wondering if your parents are in. I seemed to have gotten lost." He told the teenager in a perfect American accent and watched as the teenager grew from confused to relief.
She's relieved that I knocked at her door? Who did that? Didn't she realise what was going to happen? Of course she didn't, this would be fun.
(Setting: Unknown. Present time.)
Caroline was in agony. The blood was still dripping from her deep wounds and her head was pounding, her body was limp and to top it all off, she was burnt because the person had taken her daylight ring.
So yes, sheer agony is what Caroline was feeling. That was the only way to describe she had felt and was still feeling. Her capturer had tortured her for answers that she didn't have and when she had voiced that she didn't know anything he had tortured her worse.
The man had been talking about some big war and how I was working for the other team. I had no idea what he was talking about.
He had left about 10 minutes ago when someone had screamed for him. I think they screamed the name Federico and he had disappeared locking the only door behind him, leaving Caroline to herself.
The blood was still dripping down her body and onto the ground. Caroline tried with all her remaining strength (which wasn't a lot) to break out of the shackles that gripped to her wrists tightly and growled out in frustration. She was getting tired of repeatedly being tortured due to other people's problems and if this happened again, she was going to snap.
Caroline's body soon went limp as sleep took her away for the night but her body trembled all through the night as nightmare invaded her mind about her most recent torture and for what was to come tomorrow…
(Setting: Mystic Falls. Present time.)
"We can't just leave her there Damon." Elena said to Damon and frowned at the thought of Caroline being anywhere but in Mystic Falls with them. She had disappeared. She had literally disappeared in thin air.
And now Damon was being his usual self and not letting anyone try and even figure out how to save Caroline because Elena was safe and that he couldn't give if Blondie was in trouble because she could handle herself.
Of course everyone else disagreed with Damon and told him that Caroline wouldn't just leave Mystic Falls not without telling them.
Damon threw his glass of bourbon against the wall and stood up, his shoulders tense. "Look Blondie is fine. She probably left with Daddy Hybrid and they are having stea-" A slap from Elena on his shoulder stopped Damon from saying what he was planning to say.
Elena gave Damon a look and a moment later, the dark-haired male vampire resigned from his previous statement, a groan leaving his lips. "Fine, let's go and save Blondie from whatever trouble she had gotten herself into."
(Setting: Unknown. Present time.)
Klaus was washing his bloodied hands and face when Bonnie's face appeared in the lake he had found moments earlier. He was so surprised that he jumped slightly. When he had recovered from the shock; he glared at the witch's face in the water. "What do you want witch?" Klaus spat out and noticed how Bonnie's face darkened out of hatred to him.
"Don't make me hurt you Klaus. You may be an Original but I'll take you down. I'm not here for you…" She said and Klaus' features hardened considerably. "…It's Caroline. I'm afraid she's going to need your help otherwise I fear for her life…You will protect her. You aren't alone on this island and neither is Caroline. Find her and keep her safe Klaus." The witch's face was confident but worry showed in her eyes for her friend before her face disappeared into the lake's water.
Klaus didn't know if he should be more shocked that Caroline was here or that she was in danger here. He didn't know what to do or ever how to find her. She could be anywhere in this idiotic place but he already knew that he wouldn't let anything serious happen to her whilst she was here, not if he had anything to say about it.
He wasn't lying when he had informed her on his feelings for her. He did indeed fancy her, he didn't know why but he did fancy her. Maybe it was her light, and the fact that she hadn't seen the World; she had only seen the one-pony town that Mystic Falls was.
He would rip apart and torture whoever was foolish enough to touch his Caroline. And he would torture them for days and days, only when they begged for him to end their torture, would he. He was sadist and he was even more so when someone dared touch his Caroline.
The only other thoughts in Klaus' mind apart from Caroline were 'Game On'. If someone wanted a war with him then he would bring them one. He would deliver pain viciously and they would regret the day they decided to mess with him.
He thought that today he was closer to leaving here but now he realised that this was only the beginning of his time here.
He was sent here for a reason, a reason in which Klaus intended to find out and rather quickly.
