Our friends Stefan, Damon and Bonnie make a surprise visit and Caroline's bruising persists and even worsens….
"Who is knocking on that door?" Klaus was outraged. He pushed me onto the couch and shoved Tyler's body behind it.
I couldn't take my eyes off the corpse and felt tears streaming down my face.
"Wake up!" I pleaded, in a whisper.
He opened the door to find 3 new faces. Stefan, Bonnie and Damon.
"Well well well, come in." He motioned them into the living room.
Bonnie just smiled, keeping composed and she glanced quickly in my direction.
"I said come IN." Klaus deepened his voice and growled.
"Now we could accept that offer…" Stefan began
"But we'd rather not have the same fate at the mutt." Damon pointed behind the couch to Tyler.
"How did he know about that?" He snapped at my direction. I recoiled and shook my head.
"I don't know." The second I shook my head my body began to hurt more. The bruising had gotten worse, and I was beginning to feel nauseous.
I saw the stares of the three new faces as Klaus was yelling at me. They were terrified of me, but they wouldn't let Klaus realize this.
"Give us the girl. Why would you even want her, look at her." Damon said, pointing his finger at me staying aware to not get any part of him into the house.
"I think you've done enough damage for her lifetime." Bonnie slide in the snide comment under her breath.
"Don't talk back to me witch. All of this is your fault anyways…and anyways she is fine!" He looked back at me, realizing that he was telling the biggest lie.
"I know you care about he. Which is why we have to help her. We can help you figure out what's wrong with her." Stefan pressed.
Leave it to Stefan to try and be the voice of reason. I don't know why Elena ever left him in the first place. Especially for Damon. I shuttered at the thought.
"I….there is nothing we can do. She's fine. She'll heal up." He regained his angry snarl while talking to the salvatores
"Let me at least see if there is a spell I can do to fix her! Then she can be all yours. I'm worried about my friend Klaus." Bonnie urgently tried to get him to listen to her.
As for listening, I was tuning in and out. I watched the sores on my legs begin to pulse. Whatever was attacking my body was doing it fast. Every inch of my skin was burning, it felt like vervain was attacking me, only nine times worse.
I lost the feeling in my arms and I think I even blacked out.
I was vaguely aware that the quartet was in the middle of an argument to save my life, and they didn't even realize I was probably dying right on the spot.
I rolled off the couch in search of anything to to heal my aching body. Pulling myself with my arms I inched passed Tyler. Why couldn't he be alive to help me? I felt like I needed him now more than ever, and I hated him for this.
No one even noticed that I was gone, and more so the fact that I was dying.
If I was going to die here, I mine as well go out with a bang, I thought to myself. I was going to do something that was going to piss Klaus off. That way if I didn't die he would just kill me, I was in enough pain that I was prepared to accept this.
My stomach began to twitch, so violently that my arms and legs flailed. Bonnie gasped and prepared herself to run in after me when Damon pulled her by the shirt.
"You can't go in there or you will end up like the mutt!" He yelled.
Klaus took his gaze off of the intruders and ran over by my side.
"What is going on, love. Are you okay?" He ran over to behind the couch and snarled. Angry that I wrapped my arms around Tyler's torso. They were flailing but I refused to let go of him.
Klaus kicked his body out from under me and sent him sailing across the room.
I screamed in protest, calling out Tyler's name.
"You don't need him you have me!" Klaus screamed like a five year old.
"I don't want you. Look what you've done to me." I shrieked the pain filing up my body.
Klaus was on his knees holding my head as my body jerked around. He looked to Stefan, Damon and Bonnie.
"HELP ME!" He said, desperately.
"We can't get in unless Bonnie breaks the spell." Damon smiled, staring at his fingertips.
"FINE. DO IT. Just help me."
Bonnie stood in the doorway taking her time breaking the spell.
If I had the ability to talk or move I would have slapped her and told her to hurry up.
I was on fire now. And it felt like someone was tearing my limbs out of my body.
I clung to the person to my left. Not sure who it was anymore. My vision was blurred.
"Caroline hang in there, you'll be okay." Stefan's voice coaxed.
Only I wasn't so sure anymore.
I was slipping in and out, and fast.
I kept seeing Tyler's body as it burned inside out and collapsed to the ground.
And then it hit me.
That must have been what was wrong with me….what else could it have been? I was an intruder in Klaus's house too. And it was killing me this very second.
