"Rise and shine sweetheart." Klaus opened the trunk and tossed a blood bag inside.

Caroline had to move fast before it hit her right on the face. "Good morning grumpy. Did you have fun hitting every single bump on the road?" she angrily sat up.

Klaus leaned against the open trunk and dialed Bonnie's number while Caroline carried on complaining about her back and his lousy driving. "I'm sure you can hear your charming friend in the back."

Bonnie laughed. "You didn't expect her to just lie down and be quiet did you?"

Klaus looked at the woman who now stood in front of him stretching her arms and tilted his head enjoying the skinny Jeans that she was wearing. "That would be dreadful, as much as I like dominance like any other fella, she seems fun to work with."

Caroline gave him a disgusted look before opening the blood bag enjoying food for the first time in two days, it felt soothing to have something in her stomach.

"Do not touch her, do you hear me Klaus?" Bonnie warned him.

"Relax Bennett, I don't mix pleasure with torture, somehow it throws me off."

There was a brief silence from Bonnie before she spoke again. "I want my friend back, unharmed."

"And what will you do for me in return?"

"I can't undo that spell." she admitted the basic.

Klaus ended the call and looked at Caroline that was nearly done with her blood. "Your friend has no will to have you back in one piece."

She tossed the empty bag away. "I could hear the call so don't bother. How do you want to do this?" she hugged her waist with her hands.

He smiled terribly amused. "Back seat, front seat, hood… I'm all for trying until we have it perfect."

Caroline rolled her eyes annoyed and braided her hair so that it ywould stay away from her face. "It's obvious that Bonnie is stubborn but you need her help. Where do I stand in the middle of all this?"

"You don't, you are disposable." he stood up and pointed towards the trunk.

Caroline clasped her lips and walked slowly, she closed her eyes when he locked her inside; her odds weren't that good if Bonnie carried on with her refusal to help him.

Klaus tapped the wheel a few times before he took his phone and dialed the number that was his only safe connection to his siblings. "How are they?" he asked the man on the other side of the call.

"They are the same but at least they don't seem to be in any pain, just sleeping... and looking grey."

Klaus closed his hand in a fist, he hated that the last image he had of Rebekah was a grey lifeless face.

"Any news on the counter-spell?" The man with the deep voice asked again.

"Nothing valuable yet, Marcel." he ended the call and started the car.

He drove for a while before his phone called for his attention, he smiled with the name on the screen. "Change of heart, sweetheart?"

Bonnie sounded anything but peaceful. "Why is your younger brother snooping around my family tree?"

"I've tried feeding them with everything from fresh blood to vampire blood, not even my blood works and Elijah and Rebekah are very much desiccated and I want them healed. I will not look at any means to make that happen." His voice was upset and cold, he was done being nice to the witch. "I will sever the beautiful blonde into glorious bits if you don't come up with a spell that will wake my siblings. I will also go after you and everyone related to you, once I'm done with the cheerful vampire."

"Give me a week." she finally gave in solemnly.

"You have two days." he ended the conversation with a satisfied smile.

He called Kol next, his young sibling took the call sounding busy.

"The witch is nervous so you must be doing something right."

"I'm in the middle of torturing her favorite teacher, do you object calling me later?"

Klaus tossed his phone to the passenger seat carelessly.

It would be night soon and he was tired of driving, he needed the change of pace and stopped at the nearest Motel.

He was half way through the check in when Kol called him to carry on with the previous conversation.

"So her teacher was the one who dealt with her appliance to college and along with a remarkable high IQ, Bonnie has no family, she wasn't even close to Emily. Our only leverage is the blonde that you took."

Klaus dropped the pen and smiled at the girl behind the small desk. "I will be right back love." he told her and ended the call leaving Kol speaking alone.

He opened the trunk and looked at the blonde who scolded him with her arms crossed.

"You forgot about me."

"I most certainly did not." he quickly answered.

Caroline smoothly got out of the uncomfortable place and gave him a very judging look. "You completely forgot that you had a hostage. Have you ever even kidnapped anyone before?"

"I usually drain them quickly and I have others doing the kidnapping for me."

She glared at him. "And I'm supposed to believe that you are this infamous bad guy? Seriously..." she mumbled.

"Walk." Klaus dropped upset.

She gave him an annoying smile before following him.

The girl from before smiled at Klaus when he returned but gave the blonde a vicious look.

Caroline glanced around the place and traced the desk with her finger surprised that it wasn't covered in dust; the girl wasn't oblivious to her ways and asked Klaus if it would be only one room for the two of them.

Klaus dropped the pen on top of the registration book and smirked. "The honeymoon suite sounds perfect." he compelled the girl and took the key that she numbly gave him.

Caroline flinched when he laced his arm around her shoulders after picking up a black duffle bag. "Let's get going sweetheart, champagne awaits us."

She made a repulsed face and tried to steady her balance as he swiftly turned and dragged her upstairs.

Half way up the stairs she managed to break free but only because his incessant phone started ringing again.

They found a cute boy on the hallway and Caroline totally checked him out, flirting with him as she looked back and gave him a sweet smile, the boy was struck by the attention and bumped into another couple that was leaving their room.

Klaus grabbed her hand and pulled Caroline inside the room.

She gritted her teeth upset once faced with what waited for her. "Are you serious?"

Klaus chuckled because there was a big bed in the shape of a heart in the middle of the room and a bottle of champagne and strawberries on the table. "I wanted to acquit myself for forgetting about you." he told her and then focused on the phone call.

Caroline grimaced, the only thing missing were the rose petals and the fluffy handcuffs; she was officially stuck in a tacky nightmare with a smirking jerk.

Klaus was busy with the call so she went to the bathroom and was happy that at least it looked decent and clean, she started the water smiling because they had hot water.

She saw him come in by the mirror. "I'm having a shower."

"Do you need the company?" he asked easily.

Caroline pretended she didn't listen to him. "I could use new clothes, these are smelling awful from your car."

He took the short red satin robe that hang behind the door and threw it at her. "Here, I'm sure you will look magnificent in that."

She caught it hesitant. "Thanks..."

Klaus left the bathroom granting her privacy but she wasn't too comfortable knowing that he was just on the other side of a door that he left open.

Caroline slowly opened her Jeans and took her boots of, she grabbed the rim of her top but made sure that he wasn't around by checking the mirror a few times.

Once she stripped to her underwear she decided to shower wearing it, she wasn't taking any chances here.

Klaus finished the call and moved his head, he caught a glimpse of the blonde checking the water before stepping inside the cabin, he smiled with the glimpse to some rather flawless curves and laced boxers, the hair was long and falling in perfect waves down her back.

He moved to the bed forcing himself to look away and sat removing his boots and tossing them to a side.

Her shower was quick and she was drying her wet hair with a towel when she returned to the bedroom, Caroline gulped down unwillingly because Klaus was shirtless and had his back on her, she spotted a triangle tattoo and her drying movements became random as he turned around.

"Don't try anything that might get me moody." he warned her and left to the bathroom.

"Wow..." Caroline mouthed as he left; the man had the best chest that she had ever seen.

She tried to sneak a look into the bathroom and caught his chest again, there was another big tattoo on his shoulder and some serious necklace porn that made her bite hard into the towel.

She shook her head and looked away before he took his pants off.

Caroline grabbed the champagne bottle opening it easily, she had a small walk around the room but there wasn't much to see so she decided to check what was happening on the TV.

His shower was even quicker than hers and she slowly looked at him as he came into the bedroom, his solid, perfect chest was dripping wet just like his hair and Caroline drank a really big portion of the alcohol while looking at him; she also cursed the low-cut Denim that made his back really long.

Klaus picked his duffle bag taking a clean shirt from inside.

She pressed pause on her drinking. "Do you have a spare that you could lend me?"

Klaus looked back at her; the blonde with the long wet locks was sitting at the foot of the bed with her really long legs crossed.

The robe was ridiculously short and sticking to her wet underwear and not leaving much to the imagination in a lot of places. "I will think about it." he turned around smiling, why mess with the pleasant view?

Caroline snarled upset and had the rest of the bottle mad; she turned the TV louder and decided to watch the horror movie.

Klaus took a really old-looking book from inside his bag and went to the bed; he sat against the headboard and was surprised that there wasn't a water mattress squeaking under him.

"Strawberry?" she asked enthusiastically-free without looking at him.

"I would love the champagne but you decided to be very selfish." he dryly complained.

Caroline smiled and dropped the empty bottle on the floor. "Sorry."

He tried to focus on the ancient language before him but the silly screams coming from the TV were very distracting. "Do you mind changing the channel, Hostage?" he finally demanded.

"Sure." she answered and changed to the other only available channel.

The room was alive with heavy panting, loud paced screams and some swearing.

Klaus raised his eyes finding the blonde facing him with her head tilted and a silly smile as some other blonde begged for more on the TV.

"I'm turned on by the horror film." he told her serious.

Caroline broke into an honest smile that became a big laughter, she covered her mouth laughing and faced away from him changing the channel back.

Klaus looked down on the book but before refocusing he smiled as well.

Caroline easily ended the strawberries and took the last two with her, she startled Klaus as she jumped on her side of their heart-shaped bed.

He glanced at her resting on her elbows and watching him, her legs dangling carefree in the air.

"What are you reading?" she easily asked him.

Klaus licked his lips. "Consider yourself lucky that I don't have you gagged and chained by now. Take advantage of my benevolence tonight and be silent."

In a rage spur she turned her back on him, he caught the view to a nice ass before she covered herself with the red sheet.

"Am I allowed to sleep or will you throw me into the bathtub and lock me inside of the bathroom?"

"I haven't decided yet." he changed pages without drifting his eyes from the book.

He heard her huffing but at least she was still for the next hour, she didn't fall asleep but she didn't move either.

Klaus ran the pages quickly reading the Aramaic words and assimilating all the information, he drifted his eyes to the blonde that now moved after an entire hour silent.

She rested on her side to face him. "Are you going to kill me?"

Her voice was soft and he sensed fear in her.

Finally.

"All that your friend has to do is break that spell, then I will set you free unharmed." he answered honestly, he had no reason to kill the blonde beauty yet.

She chewed a bit on her lower lip and then spoke. "I'm going to sleep now, don't try anything funny." she narrowed her eyebrows at him..

"As long as you don't try to ravage me. I did caught the way that you were about to tackle and force yourself on me earlier." he faced the pages in his hands.

She dryly laughed. "And I'm wearing the shortest robe in history because you wanted to see the hot legs and the amazing ass that had you drooling earlier. Goodnight Master."

Klaus smiled as she turned on her back again and curled into a tight ball under the cover, no one could refute simple facts.

He closed his book and turned the lights off resting on his pillow, he didn't sleep he just faced the ceiling but he could hear her breath changing as she fell asleep next to him.

When the first warm rays of sun entered the room and warmed her skin Caroline rubbed her eyes and fought against waking up, the bed was really comfortable compared to the awful trunk.

Unable to have her way, she pushed the sheet away and looked to the side but he wasn't at the bed, when she got up she found a dress and a Denim jacket and touched them with a frown.

"It belongs to the woman we saw yesterday in the corridor, I deem that she was your size." he informed her whilst closing the door.

Caroline checked the tag with the size; wasn't he the one with the hawk eye? It was her number indeed.

He sipped on hot coffee watching her and Caroline took the robe off in front of him, sliding next into the mid-season dress that didn't have sleeves but covered her cleavage entirely.

"There, I paid for it with a show." she flashed a forced smile while grabbing her boots.

Klaus chuckled into the coffee.

When she finished he was waiting by the door with the bag and she picked up the jacket with a clenched chest, they were going back on the road and she would be back inside of that awful trunk.

Caroline spotted the girl from the desk checking her neck with a small mirror, it had two little holes.

"Morning snack?" she asked him as they stepped outside.

Klaus shrugged. "I didn't ask if you wanted some because you are on that special diet of yours."

"Can I at least have some coffee?"

"How will you pay for it?" he teased her with a naughty lift of his eyebrows.

Caroline noticed the big truck arriving and the two large men that stepped down from it and out of nowhere she started screaming. "Help, oh God please help me!" she urged them.

Klaus frowned stunned at first.

The men ran at once towards them.

"What's going on in here?" One of them asked sternly.

"He took me from my home and my daddy is looking for me." she pleaded innocently.

Klaus expected her to start crying anytime soon.

One of the men threw a punch at Klaus bluntly while the other rushed to the truck to get his bat.

Klaus dropped the coffee dodging the punch and lacing an arm around the man's neck easily.

Caroline smiled and swiftly caught the coffee before it ended on the ground, she walked away leaving the hassle behind her. "I got this one for free." she murmured and waited by the car while Klaus fed on one of the men and knocked the other out with the bat.

She finished the coffee and waited for him to snap her neck again as he reached her.

Instead he opened the trunk. "Get inside." he hissed.

Caroline slowly did as he ordered her, he seemed to hesitate before closing it but maybe that was just her, she was still bewildered that he didn't hurt her.

Klaus tossed his bag to the back seat and settled behind the wheel, he pressed his lips before starting the car.

It took him a minute to calm down before he drove away, as he did so he turned the radio on, he needed the distraction.
