Chapter 10

Klaus had never felt more betrayed in his life. Even when his siblings and parents had plotted against him, he never felt this much disloyalty. But what Stefan and Caroline did was out of line. They thought they could fool Klaus Mikaelson. The original hybrid. He was always two steps ahead of everyone. No one ever had a chance to stand against him because no one had the nerve to defy him or to betray him but Stefan and Caroline had taken advantage of his lenience towards them.

He felt true friendship towards Stefan and he never lied when he said he was like family to him. Like a brother.

And Caroline. She was just as much at fault as Stefan. Klaus surely compelled her but he never asked her to do anything unethical. He truly felt attraction towards her and never once did he think of forcing her into something she would not like but he wanted to win her affections even if it was the hard way. But she too betrayed him like everyone else did.

So now they would both have to pay. Lucky for Caroline, he couldn't bring himself to harm her physically so Stefan would have to suffer but it did not mean she would be free. He would make her writhe emotionally until she realized that she was his and his alone and there was no way she could deceive him and get away with it.

The sound of groaning pulled him out of his thoughts. He looked down to see the young vampires trying to gain consciousness. Stefan was flat on his stomach, neck snapped. While Caroline had gained her consciousness and was struggling against the chains that held her in place.

Caroline's eyes fluttered open. She didn't remember much of what happened but her neck hurt like hell. She was with Klaus after she … she kissed him and then he wasn't letting her go and then there was blackness everywhere. Her neck hurting was a feeling she remembered all too well. Of course! Her neck was snapped. She found herself chained to the back of the wall. She was chained just like she had been when Klaus' witches had taken her but then she was in a tomb but now she was in a bar. She saw Stefan laying in the middle of the room. He looked dead-ish. Like he was also knocked out by Klaus.

She began struggling against the chains and didn't even notice Klaus walking up to her. It was only until he kneeled in front of her on his knees that she stopped struggling against the chains and looked at him. Her eyes widened as she realized the trouble she was in. As she saw in Klaus' eyes, she could only see anger and revulsion and 'revenge'.

"I'm glad to see you're awake love." He stated calmly and moved his hand to stroke her face but she jerked her head back. Klaus rolled his eyes at her stubbornness and reminded himself that he had to be the one in power and in order to do that he had to show them who was the alpha male around her.

He moved his hand at the back of her head and pulled her head forward forcefully and with his free hand began caressing her smooth, porcelain skin.

"What the hell Klaus!" Caroline yelled angrily, "We had a deal…"

Before she could say anything else Klaus harshly grabbed her chin and looked straight into her deep, blue orbs. "Aah! Yes we did have a deal that you and Stefan so conveniently broke. I must say it was a very bold choice to betray me love." His voice was sweet like honey but still contained an evident threat.

"What are you talking about?" She asked trying to play dumb but was conveniently shut down by Klaus who seemed to have no doubt that they were guilt. That she was guilty.

"You can drop the act. Katerina was more than cooperative to share your plans with me for her freedom" Klaus stated as moved towards the door from where Katherine emerged.

"Sorry sweet pea. But I had to look out for myself" Katherine pouted as she made her way to Stefan. If only Caroline could tear out her throat.

"Stay away from him!" Caroline yelled and struggled against the chains and she saw Katherine bending and checking through his pockets for his phone probably.

Katherine glared her back and as she found his phone she totally ignored Caroline's protests and made way to Klaus and handed him his phone.

"Tell Stefan I'm sorry but I had to watch out for myself. That's how I survived these 500 years" she spoke emotionlessly.

"Yeah you'll be sorry once I get out of these chains! How could you betray us like that?" Caroline accused as she fought with all her strength against the restraints holding her back. "Why did you give us the vervain then?" she asked tired from all the fighting.

"Because I asked her to." Klaus answered instead and then flashed her his cunning smile. "I just wanted to see to what extent you both would go to lie to me. Now that it's clear it has made it easier to decide your punishments" he stated very calmly as he walked towards the bar counter.

"I told you about their plans. So I'm free now?" Katherine asked just looking for a nod to escape the hell out of there and enjoy her newfound freedom. But that nod never came.

Klaus grinned viciously, "I spent 500 years trying to break the curse because of you. Did you honestly believe that I would let you just walk away?" Klaus asked.

Katherine's smug look was long gone and she could not believe what she heard, "You gave me your word!" she accused.

Klaus raised his eyebrows and nodded, "And I will keep my word. You are free to leave until I hunt you and kill you" he stated as if it were a very normal, daily routine task for him. But it was.

Katherine didn't wait a second before she flashed away and Klaus' grin widened even more. Before Caroline could say or do anything, the witch 'Gloria' appeared from a back room with a mug in hand and some herbs. They both made their way towards her. She started to move back until her posterior hit the wall that she was chained to.

As they came closer, she recognized one of the herbs in the witch's hands. Vervain. Shit! she was doomed.

"Don't fret love. I won't hurt you" he stated as he bent down to Caroline's level and stroked her cheek gently. Just when she saw Klaus' expression, she heard Stefan gasp for air.

"How good of you to finally join us Stefan!" Klaus declared but didn't move an inch from his position.

Stefan looked around frantically and the first thing he saw that she could actually care about was a tear-stained Caroline tied and chained up against the wall with Gloria and Klaus looming over her.

His barely got to his feet to run to rescue her when he was thrown back into the bar. Thrashing all the cutlery and liquor bottles.

Stefan quickly got back on his feet to see Rebekah smirking. It was not her usual smirk but a dangerous angry one. "She had nothing to do with this Klaus. Leave her alone!" Stefan protested as Rebekah shoved him into the wall.

Klaus ignored his protests and turned his attention back to the sobbing, blonde beauty in front of him. He used his hand to wipe the tears coming from her eyes. "Now Stefan you should learn a lesson from this. You can simply not betray me" he threatened.

He nodded towards the witch and she began chanting and Klaus then turned his attention back towards Caroline. His grip on her cheeks got tighter and she began to struggle once again. She let out a long, pathetic whine as Klaus grabbed her jaw, pressing her cheeks together and forcing her mouth to open. Tipping the bowl against Caroline's lips, Gloria forced the elixir down the girl's throat.

The blonde sputtered and choked on the liquid as it dribbled down her throat and over her lips leaving a burning sensation of the vervain. An instant fire spread through her body. Caroline let out a gut-wrenching scream, her back arching off the wall as the pain tore through her.

Above her she could hear the foreign chants of the witch, Stefan's pleads and protests only slowly growing louder and more intense. With every word Gloria said the agony Caroline felt seemed to grow. Her mind drew hazy, the burn taking over her. She just wanted it to stop.

'Please! Make it stop' she prayed as her mind succumbed to the pain and numbness settled over her.

And then darkness.

"What did you do to her?" Stefan inquired as he fought against Rebekah's hold and saw his best friend drop unconscious.

Klaus shrugged and released Caroline from her the restraints. Her body limped onto him so he gently picked her up and took her into the backroom ignoring Stefan's questions once again.

"Rebekah, What did he do to Caroline?" Stefan asked pronouncing each and every word slowly.

Rebekah grinned. "Well think of it as a nap. When she wakes up, my brother will be all she can remember." Rebekah continued, "He's just going to give her dreams and illusions. Nothing to worry about but you. He's going to give you a good beating!"

Stefan was not worried for himself right now but for his friend. She was a new vampire, barely a year old, she had great control but after suffering Klaus' mental torture even she could break.

Before he could even mutter another word, Rebekah snapped his neck like a bloody twig.

Caroline looked around. Her neck was hurting and her throat was burning. She felt her body numb and wet. She frantically looked around and saw that she was in the middle of the forest of Mystic Falls and was lying in a wet, muddy pool. She was wearing a dress which was covered with dirt and blood. There was darkness everywhere, only the moonlight was bestowing some radiance that she could see. She tried to stand up on her feet but immediately fell down to the ground because her legs were too weak to carry her. Her leg was cut and the wound was bleeding like there was no tomorrow. She wasn't heeling. Not even at the slowest rate. She was HUMAN. She could hear some voices coming from the back but she paid them no attention. She crawled to a tree and pushed her back against its trunk.

She hardly took a minute to breathe when she heard the howling of wolves. Werewolves. She kept quiet in the hope that the wolf would miss her and go somewhere else but the sounds kept getting closer and closer and before she could even think of something she heard the sound of a twig breaking. She peeked her head from the trunk to see. It was a huge, black werewolf. Probably the alpha male. She suddenly pulled herself back into the trunk hoping to just disappear, praying that this nightmare would be over but it didn't. She felt the wolf come around the tree. She closed her eyes in anticipation of what was to come. After a few moments she heard growling and heavy breathing way too close for her comfort. She slowly opened her eyelids to see the creature standing right in front of her. His eyes locked with her. She recognized those eyes. They were yellowish golden with a shade of crimson. It was Klaus. The alpha was Klaus.

Somehow it made her more scared as to what Klaus would do with her in his wolf form. He snarled angrily and came closer to her. Only mere centimeters away from her, he howled again very loudly. She tried desperately to look here and there for any sort of help but found no one. Before she could even blink the wolf came even closer and made contact with her skin. Bit her here and there. She screamed and tried to push the wolf away but he wouldn't thrust away.

"Klaus please stop!" She exclaimed while tears flooded her cheeks.

The wolf stopped only for a second to look right into her swollen, red eyes but then looked away and continued the torturous punishment. He bit her and marked her everywhere he saw fit. He tore into her flesh as she yelped and called out for help. Many times she screamed for him to let her go but he didn't fret.

After an hour long of pain, the wolf stepped back only to admire the sight of her writhing in pain and struggling only to keep her eyes open. Crimson fluid flowed everywhere. Her blonde hair splashed across her face. There she was, Caroline Forbes, laying at the mercy of Klaus Mikaelson. The very same Klaus whom she tried to betray. He backed away into the darkness and disappeared.

Caroline saw through her watery eyes how Klaus disappeared. As soon as she breathed a sigh of relief, there he was back again but in his human form. Human/vampire form to be exact, wearing only a pair of jeans. He was staring at her with his usual smirk of satisfaction plastered to his face. His arrogant features especially highlighted. He moved forward towards her as she coughed and cried in pain.

He kneeled in front of her and moved her body into his own lap vehemently and right now she didn't have the strength to deny him. He rested her head against his bare chest and stroked her hair as if he wasn't the one who caused this pain. He moved his head closer to hers. His lips brushed against her earlobe.

"You see love, this is what happens when you betray me." He whispered gently.

Before she could muster up her energy to say another word, he bit into his wrist and forced it down her throat. She latched onto his wrist as the elixir began to give her some strength back. As soon as she released his wrist he began stroking her hair again. This time it was not gentle but marked his possessiveness.

"You are mine now love. Remember that and it'll be easier for the both of us" he announced stingily.

Caroline's eyes widened at his declaration and the actual meaning of it. It meant she wouldn't be able to go anywhere now. She was his for eternity or for as long as he wished. She was still in her thoughts when she felt a tingling sensation on her lips. Klaus was kissing her. It was not hot and steamy like the one they shared before but it was gentle and slow. She opened her mouth to protest and that was all he needed to slide his tongue into her mouth. He kissed her passionately, claiming her as his and only his possession.

Caroline eyes shot open and she gasped for air as she woke up from this horrible nightmare. Her eyes darted to her surroundings. She was in a container with someone laying on the other end.

Author's Note:

Okay firstly thank you so much for reviewing, following and marking my story as your favorite. I cannot believe the response I have got for this ff. A lot of people had questions and suggestions and when I read the reviews I wanted to add a bit of everyone's choice. But you know that's not possible so I re-wrote the whole chapter and it took quite some time anyways. I was asked if I take story requests and I do but the problem is that it takes time because I'm working on two other stories right now (new ones) so it's a bit difficult but I'll be posting the new ones really soon. 'I knew you were the one' is on HIATUS right now. I'm lost for that story and as for this story, it's going to be long I guess but I'll try to shorten it as much as I can. Enjoy and don't forget to review. xoxo
