Chapter 4
Klaus stomped around his 'house'. If anything it looks more like a construction site, but it will be a house well fit for a king by the time he was done with it.
'Stefan bloody Salvatore' he thought, after Stefan had decapitated his hybrid. 'Retribution is in order then'. Klaus made his way to the front area of his house, ordering one of hybrid minions to clean up the mess that was made. Klaus made his way back towards the back of his house when someone tried to capture his attention by clearing their throat.
He turned and his hybrid spoke 'What do you want me to do with her head?' Showing Klaus what he meant by lifting up the head wrapped up in cloth, blood dripping from bottom. Klaus sighed, 'Just get rid of it. Burn it. I honestly don't care, Daniel.'
He again went to turn around until he heard someone ungracefully stomp their way through the suppose-to-be sitting room. He could tell who it was before he even turned around. Klaus turned and greeted his first ever hybrid with a glare.
Tyler came closer to Klaus, spreading his arms and said 'You called? I'm here…. What happened?' Tyler finally noticed the blood stains on Klaus' new wooden floor. It's not even a week old and it's already been tarnished, Klaus thought with annoyance.
'What happened is that Stefan Salvatore had two paths in front of him and he chose the one that made me angry and I need you to help me do something about that.'
Tyler sighed 'Can't you just leave me out of it?
Klaus looked at him like it was an idiotic suggestion 'What would be the point of that?'
Tyler was getting agitated, Klaus could tell. He smirked. 'Seriously man, can't you just ask another hybrid to do your bidding? I lost my friends, my girlfriend.'
Klaus' heartbeat quickened a little, thinking of the little blonde beauty but he could feel the angry pulse of energy through his veins, angered that this boy could carelessly mention that they were in a relationship. He'll see to that. 'Right, your girlfriend, about her... I need you to bite her.' Perfect, Klaus thought.
Tyler looked at Klaus as if he had just grown two heads and that one could breathe fire and the other ice. It took Tyler a minute before he could speak again.
'What?'
Klaus rolled his eyes, 'Don't make me repeat myself.'
'A hybrid bite will kill a vampire.' Spoke Tyler, talking slowly, as if Klaus didn't understand what he was saying.
Klaus had no intention of her dying and again felt the need to roll his eyes, 'Yeah, I know exactly what it will do. Stefan pushed me too far, so I'm pushing back.' Let the boy think that this is about Stefan, he thought, that I'm doing this to get back at Stefan through his sister.
'I'm not biting Caroline.'
Ok, now he was getting annoyed, 'Tyler, I've been supernaturally blessed with the good fortune of a sire-bond to you. So, one could consider this me putting your undying loyalty to the test.'
'What the hell is wrong with you? I'm not hurting Caroline.'
Klaus simply stared at Tyler. At least he cared someway enough about her he thought…he's going to have to put an end to that, 'Alright, Alright. I'm disappointed, but you know, it's your choice... free will and all that. I'll find another way to strike at Stefan. You can go now.'
Tyler looked one more time at Klaus and walked back through the way he came.
Klaus made his way up to his art room; the only room in the house completed and began working on a new piece. He began to draw a face that he has drawn from memory for so many decades.
Soon, he thought, and we will be together again, my love.
….
Annabeth, Caroline, Matt, Elena and Bonnie all sat around the abandoned crypt in the graveyard, eating cake and drinking to Caroline's death/birthday.
Annabeth sat observing Caroline and her friends. Michael takes the bottle of tequila from Beth, but the doppelganger snatches it from his hand and takes a drink from it.
'Ah-ah. I need it more than you do, trust me. Caroline, what are you doing?'
Everyone turns and looks at Caroline, who stops texting and tries to act natural, 'What? Nothing.'
Annabeth laughed a little, 'I've known you since the day you were birthed from our mothers vagina, you're a bad sober liar; you're an even worse drunk liar.'
Mark looked at Annabeth with a strange weirded-out expression. So what, Annabeth thought, I've no limits to what I say when I have been drinking…
Caroline looked a bit sheepish and refused to look at Annabeth, 'I might have texted Tyler.'
The doppelganger sighed, 'Caroline...'
'What? I'm delicate.'
The witch laughed 'Give her a break! You can't control what everyone does all the time.'
The doppelganger looked at Brooke with a shocked/angry face, 'Wow.'
Annabeth could feel a little fight coming on between the friends, so she distracted herself by watching Caroline, who was watching her phone. After a little while, the witch stood up, said happy birthday to Caroline and left. Annabeth looked at the other two, to look for any signs of what happened.
…..
A little while later Matt, Elena and Caroline were in a conversation laughing and telling stories while Annabeth was looking at them with a blank expression on her face, wondering when would be the appropriate time to leave. She may love her sister and while she didn't mind Mike- no Matt! Yes!- she couldn't tolerate the doppelganger for much longer.
Annabeth could hear feet crunching some leave outside and was on high alert, preparing herself for what coming towards them. After a minute, she could smell part wolf with a mixture of strong cologne, so she relaxed waiting for the sparks to fly.
Tyler came through the door, 'Sorry, I didn't mean to crash the party.'
Matt, Annabeth gave herself a pat on the back for finally getting his name right, gives him a disapproving look 'So, don't.' That's a point for the football captain in Annabeth's book.
Caroline looked at the group 'No, it's-it's okay.'
To Tyler, she softly spoke to him. 'Hi.'
Tyler pointed to outside, 'Can I talk to you for a sec? It's kind of important.'
Caroline leaves the crypt with Tyler and they walk into the woods.
And then there were three, thought Annabeth, taking a gulp of her beer.
The other two began talking amongst themselves, ignoring Annabeth.
Maybe now is a good time to leave, she thought. With that, Annabeth hurled herself into standing position, walked out the door and started making her way home.
On the other hand, Caroline and Tyler walked away from the crypt, to have enough privacy away from vampire hearing.
Tyler turned to Caroline, 'I take it all back. Everything I said this morning. Klaus can't control me. Not when it comes to you. I won't let him.'
Caroline looked at Tyler with a sad, sympathetic expression, 'It's okay. Maybe we just weren't meant to be together. Maybe we just have to accept that and move on.' Caroline wasn't too annoyed, she didn't think it would last anyway.
'I'm not moving on from anything. I love you.'
For once in her life, Caroline wished she didn't have supersonic hearing. If she didn't, she could have pretended she never heard him. 'What?'
Without giving Caroline a response, he kissed her. Caroline enjoyed it for a while, letting it sink in that somebody was in love with her. When Tyler started to get too handsy, she laughed, protesting that he should stop. The laughing stopped when she felt a sudden nip at her neck. Tyler had bit her.
'Ouch! What the hell? What just happened?'
Tyler looked shocked. 'Oh, no.' Caroline couldn't believe what was happening. 'Did you just bite me?'
Tyler started to panic, 'Oh my god. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.'
This put Caroline into panic mode. Caroline started to shove Tyler away from her, the tears already leaving her eyes without permission. With every shove he kept coming back towards her, so Caroline started to scream at Tyler, 'Oh my god! Just get away from me! Get away from me!'
Tyler could see the hurt and betrayal on her face, so he speeds away and Caroline slumps to the ground, beginning to think over how shit her life really is.
…
In the distance, Annabeth could hear someone scream and cry. She would recognise that voice anywhere.
Annabeth ran at vampire speed towards the sound and stopped right in front of her baby sister, who had one hand over her mouth, trying to keep her cries and screams concealed and the other hand covering a wound.
Annabeth approached her sister slowly and before she could blink Caroline had thrown herself at Annabeth, wrapping her arms around her and burst into a new set of tears. Confused, Annabeth tried to calm Caroline down.
'Caroline…Caroline….Caro- Caroline! Tell me what happened!' Annabeth pulled her sister back, so they could be face to face.
Caroline took a deep breathes and took a few seconds to calm down. She was sniffling and her eyes still had tears in them. What Caroline said next scared Annabeth to her very core.
'Tyler bit me. I'm dying'
…..
