Chapter 3
Caroline's head pounded; almost like a thousand nails were being throbbed into her head and she slowly opened her eyes to peep at her surroundings. It was dark and cold and Caroline could feel a breeze on her bare skin, a harsh breeze that made her hairs to stand. She slowly and carefully stood trying to ignore the throbbing pain in her head but as soon as she noticed her bare self, memories of the events that had occurred began to seep into her memory.
Walking from Bonnie's house, the guys that were there on her way, they way they took her into her car, they gave her something, they made her drink or was it eat something and then she didn't remember, it all went blank but as she looked at her bare self, she began to put things together and tears formed in her blue eyes.
Her breathing began to quicken and her heart felt as if it were trying to leave her small body, she wanted to scream but her throat wouldn't allow her, her body was in pain and she was sweating; dripping. She felt dirty, used, cheap, she wanted to get out but she had no idea where she was or who was outside wherever she was. More tears formed in her eyes and they fell without control.
She took a breath and closed her eyes then opened them as she tried to see through the dark but nothing; all she met was darkness and that scared her. She felt she couldn't take it any longer and held her head back, took another breath and allowed a loud and piercing scream to escape her cold lips.
'Help me!' she screamed louder and heard the shuffling of feet outside along with yelling and shouting before after what seemed like an eternity a door appeared and allowed light from the other side. She met his blue eyes; she could easily recognize them and her eyes widened with fear as more tears fell from her eyes.
'Oh this, I'm going to kill the bloody bastard,' his accent rang in her ears and he turned away from her walking angrily only to be stopped by a hand, a female hand. A girl, one Caroline had never seen walked past him and turned a light on causing Caroline to wince. The sudden light made her eyes sting. The girl looked at Caroline, her mouth snarled, her eyes angry.
'We don't have time Klaus, grab her something to wear and bring it here now, we'll deal with them later,' her voice was calm but even she looked disturbed as she witnessed the girl before her. She carefully walked to Caroline, her hips swaying perfectly; she was beautiful. She put a small hand on Caroline and she automatically winced.
'Please, please help me,' Caroline begged as her sobs began to erupt and the girl sighed and looked at Caroline, a look of hopelessness crossed her features and Caroline shook her head and sobbed louder. 'Please,' she whispered and yelled between her cries.
'We're taking you to the hospital Caroline, don't you worry,' the girl spoke and Caroline slowly looked up to meet sad brown eyes that seem to look at her and know everything about her.
'Who are you?' Caroline barely chocked out as the pain in her head slowly returned making her scream in agony.
'Jesus, what did they do to her?' the girl yelled jumping off the bed to witness Caroline move uncontrollably on the small bed. 'Klaus!' she screamed. 'Klaus!' she repeated louder and Caroline's eyes began to shut as he walked into the room; only rage in his whole posture.
- more to what meets the eye -
'Honey, Caroline baby,' Caroline heard her father's faint voice and managed to open her eyes, meeting her father's worried, distraught ones. She felt her breath begin to quicken once again and as she looked around frantically, she looked to her father for an explanation but he seemed sad, so sad the words couldn't form into his mouth.
'I-' she tried to say but her throat pained and her eyes widened as the memories became clear in her mind. Tears fell from her eyes before she could control them and she jerked away from her father; causing a face of pain to pass him and she could tell he was trying not to cry before her but Caroline shook her head. 'No, Daddy no,' she repeated over and over as she clutched herself swinging back and forth on the bed.
'Baby girl,' her father tried walking closer but Caroline raised her hand and shook her head, motioning for him to stop and Bill's eyes widened. 'Please,' he tried to say but she shook her head.
'Get out,' she spoke her voice low and cold. 'Get out!' she ordered over and over; her voice growing with fear and pleading. 'Get out! Get out! Get out!' she roared and a house full of nurses came rushing in trying to calm Caroline as she allowed violent screams to consume her. She felt as if her body wasn't her and faces; their faces came into mind. How they used her, what they did to her and her screams became louder, until she felt a sharp pain and slipped out of consciousness. Her father's guilty eyes on her mind.
-more to what meets the eye-
'When do you think she'll wake up,' Caroline recognized the voice as Bonnie's and couldn't force herself to open her eyes, so she turned, as if asleep, waiting for the responder to speak.
'Who knows Bon, she looks terrible,' the voice was Elena's and Caroline tried to ignore the sadness in her voice. She wondered if everyone would speak to her this way after whatever that's happened to her. After what they did to her. Would people look for these guys? Would she charge them? Take them to court for what they did to her, what they took from her. Caroline felt her own tear fall on her bare arm and another memory came through.
'Come on babe, you're too hot to be this hard,' he snarled in her ear, her tears falling from her face, his sweat falling onto her bare skin. 'Come on, the quicker you do it, the faster this will end,' he urged and Caroline looked up, she could barely tell his features but he was tall and he had chestnut hair; the ring leader.
'Please, please, don't do this,' Caroline pleaded trying to free herself from his grip but it was useless as he pinned her hands above her head with one arm and forcefully opened her legs with his other hand. Caroline shook her head violently trying to move on the bed but he moved his legs either side of her, squeezing her body between his legs. 'Please,' Caroline cried trying to escape but he moved closer, his eyes full of danger, staring at Caroline as if she was a piece of meat.
'You'll have fun baby, I promise,' he whispered moving his head to her neck and sticking his dirty lips on her neck making Caroline cry harder trying to fight off her but he began to take her top off moving it above her head and Caroline heard a couple of gasps and looked around the room only noticing the audience she had. 'I'm only the starter baby,' he snarled in her ear and Caroline's movements became frantic.
'Please! Please help me!' she screamed louder looking at all of them; some wore a look of pity while the rest cheered him. 'Please,' she yelled to her loudest but nothing, darkness overcome her.
Caroline jerked quickly, her breathing hard, her heart out of her chest as she looked at Bonnie, then Elena and back at Bonnie. Bonnie's face became worried instantly and she moved beside Caroline's side.
'Oh my God Caroline, I'm so sorry, I should've never let you walk home, I'm so sorry,' Bonnie apologized as Caroline looked around the hospital, flowers sat in every corner of the room, she looked at the ones beside her and noticed the sunflowers; her favorite. Her face turned into disgust quickly and she grabbed the vase throwing it across the room with all the energy she had.
'What's going on in here?' a worried, light British accent asked Caroline and she quickly turned to look at the woman beside her; she was beautiful and tall and elegant in her doctor wear. She had shoulder length hair that was held back by a simple black with a black headband and her brown eyes were extremely anxious.
'I don't know, she woke up and she just threw the vase,' Elena answered and Caroline turned to look at her, a look of pity on the girl that once hated her for stupid reasons.
'Caroline, I'm Doctor Mikaelson, are you alright?' she asked coming to stand beside me and holding my eyelids up as she held a bright torch in my eyes. 'Caroline, did you have a dream?' she questioned and tears filled the young blonde's eyes. 'Girls, perhaps it's wise we leave Miss Forbes,' the doctor ordered and I continued to study her.
'I'm so sorry Caroline,' Bonnie repeated as she collected her items and walked out with a hopeless Elena tracking behind her.
'Caroline, did you dream?' the doctor uttered her previous question once again and Caroline shook her head as another tear dropped. 'Was it a memory?' she inquired and Caroline allowed a sob to escape her as she nodded to the doctor. 'Caroline, I'm so sorry,' she said sadly and I looked up at her.
'He was there,' Caroline allowed and her doctor held her gaze questioningly. 'He was there,' she muttered again and the doctor slowly pushed her on the bed and pulled her sheets.
'Get some rest Caroline, whoever did this to you will pay, that I assure you,' her doctor spoke with confidence and Caroline shuddered as she heard the doctor leave. The room was silent and cold and Caroline felt trapped as she looked around to all the flowers. How long had she been here? How long had she been laying on the cold hospital bed as people walked in and out, watching her sleep, watching her breath, watching her dream, watching her remember.
'Why?' Caroline barely whispered as another memory evoked her and she allowed her eyes to shut.
-more to what meets the eye-
'Caroline,' a voice called her and she recognized the voice so well her eyes swung open to look at the girl. She looked even better than Caroline remembered; her eyes a honey brown, her long blonde hair pulled into a ponytail that showed her gorgeous features and Caroline gasped as she saw a figure at the window.
'Please, not again, please,' Caroline begged and just as she was about to scream the girl placed her hand on Caroline's mouth, shaking her head and shushing Caroline.
'We're not here to hurt you Caroline but we don't have a lot of time before your father comes back,' she explained and the figure moved beside her to show him. Klaus Mikaelson, his blue eyes seemed sad but they were cold and his jaw tensed when he witnessed Caroline's form.
'Move your hand Lexi,' Klaus ordered and the blonde girl followed sighing and placing her hands to her sides. 'We need to know who did this, now,' he demanded and a look of confusion washed over Caroline as the hairs on the back of her neck stood at the danger of his voice.
'Do you think speaking like that is gonna make this any easier,' the girl, Lexi spoke and Klaus shot a glare at her. 'Move,' she told him and he raised his hand allowing the blonde to walk directly beside Caroline.
'What do you want?' Caroline barely said and Lexi gave her a small sad smile.
'We need to know who did this to you, this happened on my watch and I need to fix my mistake,' she confessed and Caroline's eyebrows knitted together. 'I know you don't understand now Caroline but it's important, if I were to show you, a group of people would you be able to identify who did this to you?'
'I-I, It was so dark,' Caroline managed and Lexi sighed in defeat. 'They just went on and on and they wouldn't stop,' Caroline continued and felt her eyes sting of more tears. No matter how much she cried, there seemed to be more fresh tears waiting for her. 'The first one, he was lethal, he wouldn't stop, he led them all,' she remembered and Caroline didn't miss the look of recognition in Lexi's eyes.
'Klaus,' she simply uttered his name and Caroline looked up to see a dark shadow rise in his features. 'Not like this,' Lexi said walking beside him and placing a hand on his shoulder. 'They will pay, but not like this,' she told him and Klaus held Caroline's eyes. She could only imagine what he saw; a weak, pathetic, dirty and useless girl that allowed them to use her that way.
'Your mother,' Klaus began and Caroline's eyes widened. 'She was strong; she did more for me than you would ever know. For her, I'll make sure the people that did this to you pay,' he expressed with confidence and Caroline saw the sadness in his eyes when he mentioned her mother. He couldn't have killed her if he spoke of her that way could he?
'D-d-id you bring me here?' Caroline inquired.
'Yeah we did and we better get going,' Lexi spoke looking right at Klaus who dropped his gaze on Caroline and looked back at Lexi.
'You know who did this,' Caroline whispered and Lexi looked down; guilt in her whole posture. 'Tell me, tell me who did this,' Caroline began to demand and Klaus let out a low and cold chuckle.
'So what? You think you can take them on yourself, after what they did to you?' he questioned with humor and Caroline allowed another tear to drop. He was mocking her, proving to her how weak he thought she was.
'Klaus,' Lexi snapped and Klaus rolled his eyes. 'Thank you Caroline, we will handle it,' she stated and Caroline shook her head.
'How? You keep telling me you'll handle it but how, you have to tell the police,' Caroline urged and now they both chuckled looking at Caroline as if she was a child.
'You really are as naïve as you look,' Klaus commented and Caroline felt small very quickly.
'We went to the police last time and look what happened,' Lexi spoke and Klaus darted his eyes to hers with a look of anger. 'We have to go,' she decided and turned to look at me. 'I hope you recover, not just physically but mentally too,' she added and began to walk out of the room.
'You didn't kill my mother,' Caroline said with absolute shock in her voice and Klaus was at her side in seconds. 'You didn't kill her, she helped you didn't she?' she pushed and Klaus growled beside her, scaring Caroline slightly.
'Leave matters that don't concern you Caroline,' he spoke her name and Caroline felt goose bumps on her hands,
'Klaus,' Lexi's voice came and he suddenly moved from Caroline and walked straight past Lexi and out of the door.
'We will help you Caroline but I never want to see you unless I come to you,' Lexi finalized and Caroline let out a breath she didn't know she held once the girl walked out. She turned to face her window and watched as her two guests entered her car in a hurried state and Caroline watched as a man in a suit looked to the car, spoke to his wrist and another car came following the direction they had left. What was going on here?
the end for today.
Again, I'm incredibly sorry for the late update, I don't even have an excuse, I'm so sorry. I'll try harder this time. Please review!
