Authors Note:
The story going forward will be written in 3rd person. My attempt at writing in the 1st is proving limiting and frustrating to the story. Also after receiving one particularly happy review let me note that if you don't like the story unfollow and find another. I am not writing or changing this story to make one person happy. Regarding a pm I received asking me to be more graphic in sexual detail I know for a fact I have younger viewers reading so I choose to keep this rated PG 13. To all of those who have followed and reviewed thank you and I hope this provides good entertainment.
Chapter 10
Caroline was up the next morning and for the first time in a long time felt great. Her hunger was under control and the stabbing pain in her abdomen had finally abated. Noticing Klaus had already left the bedroom Caroline headed for the shower to get ready to fully explore New Orleans. Arriving downstairs a while later she found Meredith and Rebecca having breakfast looking around for a moment she asked where everyone had gone. They had some business affairs to take care of, Rebecca replied. She was sipping from a wineglass filled with blood while flipping through a magazine, looking bored. "I want to go out and see New Orleans today and go shopping for a while." Caroline said while taking a piece of toast from the plate beside Meredith. "Excellent idea Caroline," Rebecca said snapping the magazine shut and going to grab her keys. Soon the three ladies had parked outside of a popular boutique in the French Quarter and were seeing about improving their wardrobes.
The attack came as they were walking back to Rebecca's car their arms laden with shopping bags. Meredith screamed as Rebecca was shot through the chest with a wooden stake fired from a crossbow. She was immediately silenced by a sharp blow to the jaw by one of the werewolves, her head hitting the pavement with a sickening thud. Caroline was running down the sidewalk away from the scene looking around frantically when she felt the sharp jab of a needle in her back. Unconsciousness claimed her and she felt herself falling sharply into darkness. Tyler Lockwood smiled as he dragged Caroline over to the nondescript van and placed her inside. Now he had the ultimate tool for revenge and also the best way to draw Klaus to him and away from the others. Even though Tyler couldn't kill him what better revenge than to take away the person he loved most and immobilize him for eternity. Klaus would be alive but frozen into a dessicated state and Tyler would see to it he was fed just enough blood to stay awake and aware of Caroline's demise. Hell he would use Caroline's blood to keep him conscious. The old Tyler Lockwood was gone and he had been replaced by a creature who survived only for revenge. He cared for no one as everyone he truly loved had been taken by Niklaus and now he would make him pay.
Rebecca awoke in a dumpster in the alley, jerking the stake from her chest she looked around and spotted Meredith barely breathing. Crawling over to her she quickly bit into her wrist and dripped a few drops of blood into her mouth making sure that she swallowed. Looking around for her cell phone she found it smashed beyond use a few feet away. Stumbling from the alley she compelled the first woman she encountered for her phone, not even bothering to feed she called Niklaus number. "Hello, he snapped from the other end of the line."
"Nik they took Caroline," Rebecca said her voice shaking slightly in terror as she heard the phone disconnect. There were going to be a lot of casualties in this war and Rebecca knew only too well that Niklaus bloodlust would not be sated till all of those responsible had paid their full due.
Caroline woke up in a room that looked a lot like a dungeon the smell of wet stone and decay was overwhelming. Sitting up slowly she became immediately sick and then the pain began, it felt as though a hot knife was being slowly twisted in her abdomen. Tears were stinging her eyes as she attempted to breathe through the pain. "Hello Caroline, Tyler grinned looking at her through the bars in the door." She flashed toward him in spite of the pain eager to tear him to shreds at the first touch of the door she immediately recoiled in pain. The wood was coated in a mixture of Wolfsbane and Vervain. "Surprise!" Tyler said before spraying the mixture in her face the pain so intense it felt as though her skin was melting. Through it all she could only hope that Klaus found her soon.
