Caroline's POV

We laid there together for a few moments more in the silence, me simply lying against his chest, processing what had happened last night.

What are you doing Caroline? Laying in another man's arms?! A voice asked me from the back of my brain. This isn't Tyler! Do you not love him anymore? Could you do that to him? Be with the man he hates the most?

Tyler's beautiful face popped into my mind and I immediately tried to get up, but Klaus' grip tightened around me.

I opened my mouth to protest, but he let go seconds later, just realizing what he had done. I got up slowly, my legs trembling. I felt…surprisingly… good. I walked slowly around the coffee table to the barrier. But as I got closer, I felt a quick breeze and Klaus appeared in front of me, stopping me from leaving the room.

I looked right into his eyes. "Thank you." I gave him a small smile and tried to step around him, but he wouldn't let me.

"Klaus…" I said warily, turning my head to the side and letting out an irritated sigh.

"Wait, Caroline." He said, and I got chills the way my name rolled off his tongue, just tinted with that British accent of his.
His gaze was intense and emotion was rushing through his eyes. He started to speak but I shook my head. "I can't right now. I need time to think. Please let me by."

He narrowed his eyes but stepped to the side. I quickly blurred through to Elena's kitchen and opened a blood bag she kept in her fridge. I felt rude drinking what he couldn't have, so I turned my back to him and devoured it in one gulp.

"Care to share, love?" he called and I turned around. He was leaning against the doorframe much like he was last night, just staring at me. His eyes were hungry and I got the chills, for I did not know if the hunger was for the blood… or me.

I walked over to the pantry and pulled out a mini box of cereal.

"No blood for you, doctor's orders." I threw the box into the other room. "Sorry."

He scowled for a moment before picking the box off the floor and opening it.

"Caroline…" he started again, my name giving me chills. I shook my head and ran out of the room like a scared-y cat.

I didn't have any way of getting home, and I was feeling much too lazy to run or walk, so I dug into my pocket for my cell phone. My pockets were empty.

I was sure it was there earlier! I thought in confusion.

I growled and whirled back around to see Klaus standing at the front window, with a cell phone in his hand.

My cell phone.

His wolfish grin was back and he was dangling the thing at me. Taunting me, daring me, to come back inside.

I scoffed and shook my head.

"How old are we, two?" I said in a normal voice.

He raised his eyebrows and shook his head.

"Try 1,025, love."

I gaped at him and his smirk grew.

"I am fully aware of how to operate cell phones, too." He fiddled with my phone, and scowled when he realized he needed my password.

I laughed and turned around and made my way down Elena's stairs and onto the sidewalk.

Guess I'd have to walk.

I started down the road in the direction of Tyler's house. He lived about five minutes away from Elena's in the car, so it'd take me about twenty to get there…

If I was human.

I looked around warily and then took off in a blur. Houses and streets passed me by quickly, and I found myself at Tyler's house in three minutes instead of 5-20 minutes.

I ran up his driveway and opened the door. He was pacing back and forth in the living room, a drink in his hand.

"Tyler." I said softly and his head whipped around to look at me.

His eyes widened in surprise and he appeared in front of me a moment later, staring at me, checking for injury.

"He healed me." I whispered and a smile broke over his face and he hugged me tightly for a moment, before pulling away.

"Gosh, you reek like him!" he scrunched up his nose and looked at me.

I looked down sheepishly. "Oh."

I told Tyler how Klaus gave me his blood, but left out the part where I slept in his arms- like a baby- all night long.

We were sitting on his couch and he stared at me curiously. "Where's your cell phone? You could have just called and I would have picked you up."
"Klaus has it…" I mumbled, and his eyes widened. "But it has a password on it."

A grim look spread over his face. "Your password is a good thing, but you do realize we have to get it from him right?"

I met his eyes and sighed. "Do we really? I mean it's locked, he can't cause that much harm…can he?"

A thoughtful expression appeared on his face and it changed to a smirk a moment later.

"Stay quiet." Was all he told me before running off to his room.

I listened for Tyler's voice and heard it a few moments later.

"Caroline?" he asked and I quickly ran to Tyler's room. He saw me at the door and pointed to his phone. I nodded once and pressed a finger to my lips.

"What did you do to her Klaus?" Tyler demanded.

"What do you mean what did I do to her? I did what you wanted." Klaus snapped back on the other line.

"I can't find her anywhere!" desperation crept into Tyler's voice and I was a bit surprised at this.

"What do you mean you can't find her? She left here about five minutes ago and took off running towards your house!" Klaus' voice seemed tinged with sadness and I felt my heart tug.

"Well she's not here, and she's not at her house!"

"Well go look for her you fool!" I heard him roar and Tyler exclaimed.

"I think I just heard the front door open!"

I realized what he was doing and I ran downstairs and slammed the front door with a boom, but it opened back up and hit me in the back of the head.

"OW!" I shrieked and fell forwards.

"Caroline!" he screamed and I turned around to see Klaus standing there, a smirk evident on his face.

"Oh yes, I wonder where she is?" he said sarcastically as he tried to come inside, but he couldn't. He looked at the threshold. "Your mother and father are dead. No one living is here!"

A maid walked forward. "Hi." She smiled, obviously compelled, and I winced.

Tyler compelled this lady to live here? To be his maid?! What the…?

I glared at the lady, and then to Tyler. "What the hell?"

He shrugged and I looked back to Klaus who was looking at the girl with a predatory gleam in his eyes.

I flashed in front of the girl and compelled her. "Go hide in the closet upstairs and don't come down or speak to anyone other than Tyler or I."

She nodded and robotically walked up the stairs. I couldn't have Klaus compelling her to let him in!

"She obviously isn't here! Caroline! Come out wherever you are, love!" Klaus' voice was sarcastic still as he stared at me with emotion swirling through his amazing eyes.

I bit my lip and looked at Tyler.

"Go away." He snarled and pushed the door shut.
