"Caroline!" Klaus screamed as he pierced through the dark night looking for her. A cold breeze passes behind him as he spun around. "Who's there? Show yourself!" he shouted. He gritted his teeth and made a fist. "Show yourself!" he demanded. His eyes opened up wide as he got his answer. Rick. He stood in front of him smirking as blood trickle down from his lips. "Caroline" Klaus whispered. His faced blazed with anger like a beast. His pointy teeth appeared as he leaped on Rick barely missing the stake as he falls to the ground.
Rick stood over him with a bitter look across his face. "Your mother made me stronger. Stronger than you." he said.
Klaus jumped up from the ground pushing Rick into a tree causing him to fall on the ground. He then brushed the dirt off his shoulder and straightens his tie "No one is stronger than me." He said confidently.
Rick pushed himself up from the ground and laughed "That's not what your little girlfriend said."
Klaus sprinted towards Rick knocking the stake out of his hand and wrapped him fingers around his neck. "What did you do to her?" he said huskily.
Even with Klaus strangling Rick he still manages a wicked grin as he digs his fingers into Klaus' chest. Klaus froze as he tried to catch his breath and to look for a way out but Rick had him in his grasp. "I'll rip your heart out like I did to your blond hair friend" he gave a devilish smirk.
The blood started to boil in Klaus' body as he screamed. With a force he pushed Rick back then bashed his head into a tree. He gripped his hair and pulled his head back. Blood ran down Ricked forehead as if it was a stream. The red sticky liquid dripped onto Klaus hand.
"What did you do to her?" Klaus insisted.
"She's probably dead by now" Rick responded. "All alone in the woods dying slowly."
Klaus punched him to the ground. He picked up the steak and stabbed him below the chest only to find Rick struggling to laugh "Don't you know? I can't die." Klaus bent over and snapped his neck. That should leave him unconscious for a couple of hours.
The moon was still out shinning away as Caroline lay in the wet grass in pain. She was smothered in vervain. Her hands were tied in chains and bind to a tree. Klaus knelt by her side, blinking uncontrollably to stop the tears from this eyes. He smashed the chains into pieces as she screamed out in pain. He inspects the bruises on her and quickly pulled his hand back when he tried to touch her. Her entire body and her clothes were soaked with vervain. He swiftly stripped off his jacket and tried to pat the vervain away, Caroline flinched at his touch. Klaus looked in her and saw the pain she was in.
"You're going to have to take your dress." He said.
Caroline eyes were wide. "What! No." she whined.
Klaus stripped his shirt off as Caroline gasped. "Relax." He smiled as he stood up, he cover his eyes with his hands and turned around. "Let me know when you're finish, will you?"
Caroline struggled to get out of her dress and tried to hold back the screams that were escaping from her mouth. Her eyes fixed on Klaus as she slowly stripped her dress off.
"Need help love?" Klaus ask innocently, still facing the trees.
"No." Caroline scowled.
"You know I don't know why you're getting upset when I'm trying to help" he continued.
"Maybe it's because I'm here getting naked while you're there." She answered.
"How do you think I feel?" Klaus asked. "I'm standing here half naked while you're there gazing at me."
Caroline gasped "What that's not true."
Klaus still had his hands over his eyes, he smirked "Oh don't try to deny it sweetness."
Caroline shrieked in pain. Klaus flinched as if he was the one in pain "Are you…" he didn't even finish his sentence before Caroline answered "I'm fine."
"Silly me." Klaus answered sarcastically "I thought when people scream like that they are in pain, but it's obvious you're fine covered in vervain with blood dripping down, and bruises all over your skin." His voice was getting harder and you could hear the anger in his voice.
"I'm done" Caroline said.
Klaus spun around only to find her in his shirt and nothing else. She was still pretty weak and had bruises on her skin. Klaus knelt by her side then cradled her in his arms. He picked her and looked into her eyes. "Rick might be here any minute." He said. Caroline nodded and wrapped her arms around his neck then buried her head in his chest.
