Chapter 3- A Deadly Confrontation

All that was heard momentarily was a gust of wind and the howling of wolves nearby all building up an ominous atmosphere. Klaus Mikaelson, the number one danger man in the history of Mystic Falls had returned it had been five years since he last set foot in the peaceful town. It had only been ten minutes since his theatrical return and it was already taking a toll for the worse.

The younger male continuously struggled against the iron hold the older predatory male had on him although he was strong he was no match for Klaus. "Klaus my man good to have you back." He gasped whilst his windpipe was being crushed every passing moment.

The older male couldn't help but laugh at the irony of his comment, he deepened his hold and slowly lifted him up with brute strength. "Just a moment ago you said you didn't want me here."

"Can't a man change his opinion?" He gazed at him with a determined demeanor, his attention shifted to the silent female on the other side of the door he wanted to comfort her and embrace her anything to see if she was okay. One thing was for sure he knew she was crying that was what her silence meant that was why she stopped struggling.

"In the span of two seconds? No Damon, ah checking on your play thing I see I don't think I have formally introduced myself to her." He smiled his dimples in clear view he reached for the door handle carefully ensuring his rough grip remained.

"Don't you dare I swear you do that and I won't think twice about killing you." His tone harsh and voice unwavering. "This is just between me and you leave her out of this." He gritted the coldness present in his eyes was unmissable.

"Oh alright I was joking mate what can't take a joke?" He swiftly dodged a fist aimed towards his flawless face and hardened his grip he hissed unpleased at the lack of respect shown to him.

"Tell me what you want, I know you Klaus you don't show up in Mystic Falls after five fucking years to have a strength test." He cautiously loosened his grip around the older male's arm.

"Alright you win but maybe I overestimated you Damon, you are dumber than you look mate to think you already forgot what you did." His harsh tone broke the silence.

"I told you I didn't do anything." He responded and interrupted the alpha male before he could continue. "What happened to us Klaus?"

Klaus grimaced hearing his question both initiated pleasant and painful memories from the past one in particular he still could not fully let go of. "Rebekah, why did you do that to her? You proclaimed you cared about her yet you did that? What kind of a fucking friend does that?"

He couldn't deny his guilt over the situation he looked up at Klaus with fear present in his eyes.

"Answer me Damon, I said answer me." His voice rose, his fists clenched thick red blood seeping down his arms. "After all this time not even a single sorry I told you I was going to make you suffer mate and that's exactly what I am here for."

"You don't even know the whole truth Klaus! Stop before you do something you regret." He reasoned, the last straw of hope that's all there was he wanted to get through to Klaus even a little.

"Too late for that mate that already happened the day I met you." He confided not a single ounce of regret apparent in his tone, his eyes filled with hate, his tone venomous, his eyes red from anger and betrayal.

"D-Damon what's going on?" A quiet delicate voice interrupted the intense fiery confrontation. Klaus turned his head towards the locked door and sneered such a weak girl did she have no sense of honour interrupting a man's battle.

"Your little play thing I take it what's her name?" He demanded dividing his attention between the both of them. "A beauty like her shouldn't be nameless to me." He noticed the nearing sound of footsteps which seemed to be out of tune meaning it was not only one person approaching him. "Ah, nice of you to join us Stefan." He chuckled his thick accent displaying.

He turned his attention towards the female comrades of the younger Salvatore the young blonde particularly catching his attention he noticed her checking him out earlier he couldn't fail to miss it he felt her eyes all over him. "Oh come now guys it was a joke." He instantly loosened his grip and stepped away from Damon watching him drop on the ground and gasp for air he looked at the blonde once more and smiled his interest in her sparked. "What's your name love?"

Caroline's eyes widened at the sudden question her deep blue eyes filled with question at the male who was now in front of her and the whole situation. Klaus reached for her luscious blonde locks and kissed the edges of her split ends. She blushed at the interaction and immediately retreated comprehending he was the same man who was choking Damon less than a minute ago. "I don't know you and you don't know me I don't need to answer that question."

"Oh you have some spunk love I like that." He smirked observing her distant figure he scowled when a husky voice interrupted his admiration of the blonde.

"Where is Elena?" Klaus eyed the other female who spoke out he noticed her ruthless eyes and chuckled.

"Ah that pimp sized midget her name is Elena...thanks for the tip love." He chuckled at her stupidity still curious about the name of the outgoing blonde.

"It's not love it's Bonnie." She immediately corrected him scanning her surroundings for any sign of her friend.

"Damon are you alright?" Stefan rushed over to his brother flinging his arm over his shoulder lifting him up steadily and worry written all over his face.

"Thanks for the tip brother." He coughed shifting his weight on to his younger brother for support he eyed the older male with hatred. "Don't say her name like you know her."

"Oh come on four against one how unfair is that?" He pouted with fake hurt he took a step closer as the others took a step back. "Come on mate I'm not that dangerous." He eyed Damon in particular for a response who gave him none.

He decided to ignore his target momentarily directing his attention to Bonnie. "I must show my gratitude to you Bonnie sometime seeing as this is an unfair fight and how disrespected I am from you scoundrels I think you guys should compensate for that don't you?" He smirked instantaneously breaking down the locked door he gazed at a slim brunette near the window. "You must be Elena."

"Klaus you stay away from her she is not involved with this." Stefan slowly let go of his brother's body approaching him carefully.

"Mate I already told you I'm making things fair." He latched on to her body grinning at the fearful faces of the others pleasure from their pained expressions.

"Wh-hat do you want? Let go of me." She struggled against him refusing to allow him to have his way. "Why did you hurt Damon." She glanced at his distorted expression with sadness and fear droplets of sweat dropping from her face.

"Rude much addressing me as 'you' my name is Klaus love learn it and love it. Damon and I have a score to settle and I think I could use you." He grabbed her by the throat and jumped out the window swiftly landing on his two feet. "Catch me if you can." He continued his movement and dragged her limp body until he was no longer in view.

"That bastard." Damon gritted angry at himself for the most part for being so weak for failing to catch Klaus.

"Where did you think he took her?" Caroline demanded fear racing through her body.

"Where this mess all started."

"You can calm down love we're here." He dropped her body in a deserted run-down mansion he took a seat opposite her observing her expression. "You look scared love."

"Why did you bring me here? What are you planning to do Klaus?" She demanded disliking his nonchalant actions and lack of response she didn't know where she was or where the others were all she knew was she didn't want to be here.

"Relax love I'm waiting for Damon and once he comes we shall see how dedicated a desperate man really is for now sit back and stay pretty like that blonde friend of yours." He lighted up his cigar the fresh puff of smoke instantly made her cough but he didn't care he didn't bother to check if she was alright.

"You mean Caroline?" She wheezed clenching her heart and fell backwards unable to get back up it was as if her body wasn't listening to her.

"Ah Caroline's her name." Finally his curiosity quenched he repeated her name in his mind her name ringing in his ears. "She would definitely be a good way to cure boredom."

Her eyes widened dissatisfied from his response she stood up and approached his figure and did the first thing that came to mind she slapped him. "Don't you dare say that about her don't you dare hurt her understand." She fumed slowly taking a step back afraid of the consequences of her actions.

He grabbed her by her long locks of hair and neared her face, he removed the cigar from his mouth and rolled it into his right hand. "I wonder how your boyfriend would act if he saw you marked by another man." He pushed her on to the ground and fiercely pinned her arms and left kiss marks on her neck and chest. He tore off her blouse satisfied at seeing her just in her bra. He halted and stood up placing the cigar in his mouth once more.

Elena covered herself with her arms and stared at him in disbelief she did the only thing she could do at that moment she cried. Tears seeped down her rosy cheeks as she silently wept. "How could you?"

"You are annoying that's why nothing personal love, but I wouldn't sleep with you I could break you like a twig if I did." He silently watched her cry his dark demeanor intact.

"Damon!" She sobbed pounding the ground with her fists as she did so more than anything she wanted him here, she wanted him to save her from this monster.

"Love stop your whining." He told her harshly with no regret he eyed the clock waiting patiently for their arrival knowing they would come sooner or later. "Shut your mouth or I will shove my tongue down your throat.

She instantly fell silent knowing he would perform such actions and he wouldn't care whether she wanted it or not. She hugged her knees and wiped her tears afraid of what he could do to her.

He sighed noticing her tearful expression and threw a tissue at her a warm gesture he was not keen on showing. "You look ugly clean yourself up." He observed her as she reached for the tissue as if it was something precious and wiped her tears away. "You know Damon and I were friends once."

Her eyes expanded at his comment instantly wanting to reject what he said she didn't know Damon all that well but she knew him well enough to know he didn't like Klaus and the feeling was mutual. She wanted to ask further to dig deeper into the relationship between the two but she was afraid that he would do something to her if she asked anything unnecessary.

"What no questions asked? I thought you Miss loudmouth would say something." He focused on her as she opened her mouth and closed it again he knew the inner turmoil she was facing and decided to stay silent.

"I heard you say a name before when you were arguing with Damon..."

"Rebekah." He nodded and smiled as he said her name like it was the most natural thing in the world. "She was my sister my only sister."

"...What was she to Damon?" She pried further unsure of why she was asking that question but her heart ached when she heard Rebekah was important to Damon. He must have regretted what happened because right now the man in front of her was a monster.

"She meant nothing to him and I would love to watch him die." He clapped his hands together waiting impatiently for their arrival.

"That doesn't make you any better than him." She gasped noticing the coldness in his eyes, she fell silent afraid of what would happen if she pried further.

"You don't know anything little girl so don't speak like you know anything." His voice stern and brutal it seemed as if there was no redeeming quality about him not a single ounce. "You are too young to understand a man's fight."

"I am the same age as Damon and Stefan you can't be much older than them." She clenched the ends of her skirt hating how she was being treated she wasn't a child and she didn't look like one she hoped.

"I'm sorry actually no I'm not sorry you look like a kid and I have already revealed too much to the likes to you so you can shut up now." He stood by the doorway waiting impatiently and spotted a light from the corner of his eyes. "Ah looks like your heroes have arrived."

Her eyes widened she immediately stood up and accelerated towards the door way she studied four familiar faces and smiled. "Thank god you guys are here."

"Looks like you aren't that clueless mate." He smirked spotting an exhausted Damon approaching the doorway.

"It wasn't that hard to figure out a guy living in the past." He scoffed gesturing Elena to near his side before she could reach him a hand stopped her.

"Klaus let her go she isn't involved." Stefan reasoned knowing full on well what Klaus was capable of knowing a destructive man since childhood took a toll on him. "Look let's talk but right after you hand us Elena."

"You see that love he's treating you like an object what a bad boyfriend he was." He gripped her arm and pulled her towards him until his face was a mere inches from hers.

She glanced at Klaus with a look of confusion it was as if he said something he shouldn't had he dug deeper into her wounds. "H-How did you know about that?"

He grinned at her in a mocking manner proud that she asked such a question. "I have my sources but let me tell you this you're all chest pieces to my game but if you knew the truth it would kill you. I believe Stefan would know more than anyone."

"I don't know what you're talking about." He interrupted as he gazed at Elena noticing her longing stare guilt present in every ounce of his body.

"Oh he didn't tell you? Should I enlighten you all about a girl that Stefan knows very well?" He chuckled receiving enjoyment from Stefan's detestable expression.

"Okay stop Stefan is not a bad person okay? Stop making him seem like one that goes for you too Elena." Caroline spoke softly glancing at Elena giving her a look as if she knew something that she didn't. "I hate guys like you preying on girls for some stupid revenge it's wrong."

"You think that will stop me love? You know Caroline I dislike girls who don't know their place unfortunately for you I'll allow you to live if you shut up." He stepped backwards dragging Elena's light body with him he stopped when he finally reached the window.

"W-What are you doing?" Bonnie gasped not liking the direction this situation was heading.

He chuckled at her question and eyed Elena before glancing at Damon as if there was nothing left to reason. "I want to see this girl die or since that might not happen because of you so called heroes I want to see her hurt and frightened in fact borderline traumatised."

"Klaus look I'm sorry alright! I take the blame it's all my fault everything is my fault Rebekah and what happened to you it's my fault alright? I'm sorry just please let her go she doesn't deserve this I do." He breathed slowly taking small breaths to override the panic shown in his voice he couldn't let her die he couldn't let more people get hurt because of him.

"Too late for apologies don't you think? You had five years Damon you never saw me once you don't regret what happened you're not even sorry. You do deserve this but seeing her squirm struck a chord in you more so than me hurting you myself. So I think one should take advantage of such an opportunity." He pulled a remote from his pocket and waved it in front of the foursome.

"What is that?" Bonnie inquired inspecting the remote her hands shaking even if she couldn't voice her thoughts deep down she had a gut feeling of what it was. Her eyes widened as soon as Klaus pulled the trigger on the remote a familiar sound becoming apparent.

"Is that...gas?" The blonde eyed her surroundings hearing everything but unable to see anything. She peeked at Klaus for some form of confirmation she shuddered once she saw his trademark smirk and backed away.

"Oh love you are smart and guess what else?" He pulled his cigar away from his mouth noticing the fear in everyone's eyes and pushed Elena towards the isolated aspect of the mansion where he dropped his cigar. "I give you a minute before this place blows up see you all again some time if you manage to survive especially you love." He winked at Caroline before breaking the glass with his bare hands and escaped via the window route.

"Guys get out of here don't worry about me." She coughed as she fell to her knees watching as she felt the flames beginning to envelop her.

Cliffhanger sort of?
