Chapter Nine

Where was she? Why did it feel so cold. It had been so long since she felt the cold. Honestly she would welcome the sensation, if not for the haze that seemed to come along with it. The fog, that clouded her mind, her eyes. "Klaus?" She called out instinctively searching for her sire. He would know where she was supposed to go. He would help her escape the fog that seemed to be closing in on her.

"Sweetheart." She heard his voice call back after a long moment.

Her heart lept as she ran toward the sound, wrapping her arms around his shoulders the second he came in to view. She buried her face in the crook of his neck, closing her eyes, trusting that he would help her. "Is there something wrong?" She asked, pulling back to give him a puzzled look, as his arms remained at his sides.

A cruel smile spread across his lips at that moment, terrifying her, yet captivating her at the same time. Even though he looked evil, and frankly scary, somehow there was something she found beautiful as the veins began to show and his fangs elongated.

"What are you doing?" She asked with an addled expression as his hand reached back to her hair, yanking her head to the side to expose the skin of her throat. Her breath hitched as she carefully watched his actions.

"Shh, love. I only need a taste." He whispered soothingly in her ear.

'Just a taste' she repeated to herself, and somehow it calmed her racing heart.

His arm wrapped around her waist pulling the her firmly against him, and she watched out of the corner of her eye as he leaned down to rip into her neck.

And just like that the scene was gone replaced by a familiar room, with familiar people, one being the hybrid from her dream, causing a shiver to crawl through her spine, the other's presence surprised her.

"Bonnie?"

Klaus paced, watching the witch warily as she stood above Caroline. He didn't trust her, he didn't like letting anyone this close to Caroline when she was so vulnerable. What if the witch chose to take her away, or worse act on some grudge and kill her. Yes, Klaus could easily kill the girls entire family and herself, but Caroline would still be dead.

Klaus knew he didn't have much of a choice though, he couldn't find out what was wrong with her, so he would have to put up with the uneasy feeling. Caroline would be the death of him, if he wasn't the death of her first. "What's taking so long?" He hissed, stopping to look over the witches shoulder impatiently.

Bonnie scowled, looking jabbing her elbow back into his rib cage, not that it hurt him, but she hoped it would send a message. "You should remember, I'm not here to help you Klaus, I'm here for my friend." She spat, flipping another page in her book. "The biggest problem I'm finding is that this shouldn't be possible. A vampire can't be turned into a hybrid." Bonnie murmered, seemingly to herself.

"Well hurry up and figure out how to fix her, before I start killing your loved ones." He muttered the last part begrudgingly, for once caring very little about revenge.

Bonnie turned around with a glare that gave if-looks-could-kill a new meaning. "It's your fault this happened to her!" She hissed, jabbing a finger at him. "You did this to her! Stop trying to find someone else to blame, if she dies you're the one that killed her."

His eyes narrowed, and even though he knew what she said was at least partially true it made him infinately more angry than he already was. Klaus stalked over to Bonnie with the most intimidating stance he could muster-which, for the record, was pretty intimidating-towering over her his sentence came out more as a snarl than anything else. "If she dies, I don't care who's fault it is, you and everyone in this town is dead."

"I'm not afraid of you." Came Bonnie's curt response, they stood there for an immesurable amount of time, waiting for one or the other to make their move, until finally the silence was broken.

"Bonnie?" A groggy voice asked from behind them.

Klaus let out a sigh of relief,as Bonnie released breath she hadn't realized she'd been holding, and he was at Caroline's side in the blink of an eye.

"Caroline." He addressed her coldly, surprising Bonnie, who had previously watched him pace around like he was waiting to see if his world was ending.

She watched their interaction curiously, there was something twisted about the way Klaus approached her, about the way Caroline responded. It was a fearful and wary, yet trusting. It baffled the young witch.

"Are you going to let her go?" Bonnie asked with clenched fists, already knowing the answer, but not caring much, there was no way she was leaving her best friend with that monster.

"No. You may leave though." He replied curtly, not even turning to look at her, dismissing her with a wave of his hand.

"I'm not leaving without her." Bonnie tried again, watching as Caroline blinked in apparent confusion at her friend.

"You don't want to do this, little witch. If you have any brains left in that pretty little head of yours, you will turn around and walk out that door."

Bonnie opened her mouth to speak, and the next thing she knew she was walking out to her car. No recollection of the last five minutes of her life.

"He has her." Tyler stated in a quiet voice, his eyes on the ground. He wasn't all there they could tell. He hadn't been since he got back from breaking the sire bone.

Damon rolled his eyes, his voice dripping with sarcasm. "Yeah, we've figured that out Tyler. He has more than just Elena though, he has Jeremy and-"

"And everyone else in the world, yeah, yeah, yeah. We have to take down Connor, and I know just how to do it." Tyler said, seeming to come back to the present. "Klaus has been distracted with Caroline, giving me and Hayley the chance to break sire bonds left and right. I bet we could get them to help us."

Bonnie watched from across the room as they continued strategizing on how to get Elena back. She had yet to get that image of Caroline out of her head. Of her looking completely defenseless against Klaus. It haunted her, the fact that she had just left her friend there at his mercy. Yet, it didn't seem to bother anyone else. Any of her supposed friends. Even Tyler, after a week or so of Caroline being gone, he seemed to just forget to worry for her. It made Bonnie sick, that they could all just forget about her like that.

Perhaps Caroline was better off with Klaus, at least he would notice if she went missing. Probably tear apart anything and anyone who got in the way of him finding her. From the time she had spent in the Mikaelson mansion with the two she knew Klaus would never let Caroline die, probably wouldn't hurt her on purpose. Though Bonnie assumed there would be a multitude of unintentional scars from the hybrid who didn't quite seem to understand how to be gentle.

"Bonnie." Damon repeated irritatedly at the dazed witch.

"W-what?" Bonnie stuttered as she came out of her thoughts.

"We're going to need you to create a distraction. Do some of that witchy fire thing you do. Think you can handle that?" He asked patronizingly, earning himself a glare from Bonnie.

"Yes." She hissed, turning her attention toward Tyler who was once again in the company of Hayley. Her eyes narrowed, and she hadn't even realized what she was doing.

"Agh!" Tyler screamed falling down to his knees.

"Ty?" Hayley cried, dropping down to attempt helping the hybrid.

Klaus was happy to have Caroline no longer unconcious, but wondered if he had made a bad decsision in sending away that witch. Should there be further problems with his impossible hybrid.

"Klaus." He heard Caroline whisper from where she laid on the bed.

"Yes, love." He turned around to see her attempting to lift herself to her feet. Taking quick strides over to her, he placed a hand in the middle of her chest, and lightly pushed her back onto the bed. "How about you just rest for now, sweetheart." He suggested with a much warmer tone than usual.

She nodded letting her head fall back on the pillow. "Klaus." She whispered before he could turn and leave her there alone.

"Yes?"

"How do I make you weak?" She asked sincerely, sitting up a little as she awaited his answer. "I-I mean...I know you said it was because you 'needed' me too much," She paused letting a small smile appear then quickly disappear at the thought. "But how does that make you weak?"

He sighed. "Get some rest Caroline, when you wake I shall have the answer to what's wrong with you. Hows that for an answer." His smile didn't reach his eyes as he turned and left her alone in the room.
