OoooOOOoooO

Klaus could hear the door open, a smirk was beginning to play on his features.

"Who the hell are you?" Klaus heard his first successfully sired hybrid say, confusion and agitation was laced through his voice.

"Tyler, it's okay. They're here for your protection." Carol Lockwood's voice rang out calmly through the entrance hall.

"More deputies?" His voice was weary. Klaus started to make his way to the entrance hall, his hands held behind his back.

"Not exactly."

Klaus could see two of his hybrids stationed in front of him and he could hear another walking behind him. He looked at Tyler. Tyler's eyes were wide with surprise and loathing. This loathing was shared.

Klaus had forgotten how much he loathed this individual. From his un-kept hair right down to what he was wearing. And now all he thought of when he saw him was Caroline, her lips against his own –well Tyler's-, her blonde hair dancing in the sunlight.

Tyler looked at Klaus and let out a great sigh, his brows furrowed. Klaus could hear his heart rate pick up.

"They're hybrids."

Tyler's eyes glanced between all of the hybrids, then his gaze settled on Klaus'. His brown eyes were harsh compared to Klaus' dark blue ones. The way the Hybrid was looking at him would have earnt respect if he could not hear his heart racing.

"I was halfway to Chicago when I heard you were attacked. I had hoped to leave Mystic Falls for good, but duty calls." Klaus looked at Tyler, there was no trace of a smile on Klaus' face, not even a smirk.

"Nice to know you care." Tyler said contemptuously.

"I don't." Klaus was keeping his voice level, keeping his rage intact. "I should have killed you for the little stunt you and your friends pulled" Klaus walked towards him, there was only a small table between them. "Stopping my heart, leaving me in a coffin to rot." Klaus knew that Tyler would come back with a retort. Not with a good one, but a retort all the same.

"Yeah, well, you used my body as an escape hatch," Carol looked surprised at this, evidently this was the first time she had heard of it. "Then kissed my girlfriend, so maybe we're even."

"Not even close."

His voice was just above a whisper, they were both trying to conceal their rage, conceal the fangs that were edging to come through, to conceal the yellow eyes that were so close to being revealed. They stared at each other for long time, Klaus could not see what Caroline saw in this oaf.

"But you Hybrids are a dying breed." There was a small smile that did not reach his eyes. "I can't make more of you, and I won't have anyone taking liberties with the ones I have left."

Tyler was trying to take in this new information. Klaus started to back away, as he did so he pointed at the hybrids.

"Consider them your new bodyguards." Then he turned around and walked into a side corridor.

He had claimed this office, telling the Hybrids not to come inside unless it was important. From here he could hear about anything that went on inside the house. He sat down and crossed his legs placing them on the desk. He opened the draw and saw a bottle of alcohol. Politicians .. He thought. He briskly opened the bottle of scotch and took a gulp of the amber liquid. It burned going down his throat, he did not care, he wanted to get Tyler off his mind. He shut his eyes and took another large gulp.

Later that day.

He could hear Tyler in another of the rooms, Klaus could hear his heart rate, it was calm. But his was not the only heart beat that he could hear. He could hear a heartbeat, a fast one, a heartbeat filled with anticipation. Klaus was interested. Now the footsteps were louder, in the room next to his own.

"So this is where you're been hiding, huh?" He could hear both of the heart beats jump. He sat back and listened to the conversation.

"Haley?" Klaus could hear heavy footsteps walking towards her.

"Hey, Lockwoof!"

They were both laughing. Klaus could feel rage coming again, surely not Tyler. Surely not. He heard a punch of flesh against material.

"Ass. I thought Klaus killed you." In the other room, Klaus smirked slightly at his name being mentioned, but it quickly fell again.

"I should have called." Tyler's voice was full of excitement and anticipation.

"From your trailer park in Florida. You liar!"

Why would he lie? Unless he didn't want to be found. Klaus could feel his rage and loathing going up by the second. He did not deserve Caroline, not if he was going throw the beautiful creature of light away at any moment.

"You're totally loaded." Her voice was fully of happiness and anticipation.

"Uh…" He heard Tyler say apologetically.

"I chained you up all over the Appalachians. I talked you through every turn. I helped you break the sire bond." She sighed slightly. "You could have told me your real story."

"I didn't want anybody to follow me back." He paused for a second. "Werewolves weren't safe around Klaus, and you shouldn't be here either, his hybrids are all over this house and so is he." And he can hear everything you are saying, 'Lockwoof',

"I know. One of his hybrids is with a pack I ran with. He called me and told me that he was coming to protect a guy named Tyler, and I thought, 'what are the chances?'"

There was a moment of silence, their heart beats were racing.

"Well, the least you could do is pour me some fancy, rich-people scotch." Klaus looked to the bottle in his hand and took another swig.

"Sure. Absolutely." He heard heavy footsteps and the clinking of ice in glasses.

They were just sharing conversation, dull conversation. Klaus stood up and started pacing the room. He didn't register how long he had been in thought until the doorbell rang.

Caroline didn't feel like going to Rebekah's party, especially after how she had treated Elena. She decided to drive over to Tyler's house, she wanted to spend time with him. The door opened and she flung herself onto him. She pulled back slightly, the way he was holding her only made her remember how softly Klaus-Tyler had held her, it make her long for it. But she shook that thought from her head.

"I ditched Rebekah's ditching party." She beamed and pulled his face towards hers, their lips met for only a second since he pulled away quickly, very un-Tyler-ish. "What's with all the testosterone?" She looked behind him at the men standing there.

Klaus was taking this opportunity to walk to the other study. He was basking in Caroline's voice.

Tyler turned to face the Hybrids then turned to Caroline again.

"Hybrids." Tyler said as Caroline looked confused. "I'm on house arrest." He said apologetically.

"Says who? Your mom? Come on. Sneak out." She drew herself closer to him, wrapping her arms around his neck.

"Not my mom, Caroline." He pulled back again. Caroline frowned. Then realisation hit her. Caroline could feel anxiety starting to form in her stomach, she did not want to see him, not after she had slept in his house a week ago. She did not like the way that he made her feel. She was determined to hide it, with anything she could muster.

Klaus could hear her heartbeat start racing, he let a great smirk come onto his face.

"You're kidding me." She asked. Tyler gave a small smile that did not reach his eyes. "Klaus?" Just saying his name made her shiver.

Klaus walked into the study. There was a girl with brown hair looking at a picture of Tyler and his family.

"You're a new face." He said with his hands behind his back. She turned to face him, she was beautiful. But she was nothing to Caroline, Caroline was exquisite.

"And I take it from you accent you're an old one…. Klaus?" She pointed at him slightly. Klaus walked forwards with his hands still behind his back.

"My reputation precedes me, hopefully not all bad." He said, she stood still, her heart rate was still high from the adrenaline that she had got with Tyler.

"A little bad, mostly repulsive." Klaus' smile fell from his face. He was done with the pleasantries anyway.

"So you're a friend of Tyler's." He walked towards her. "That's strange. He's never mentioned you." His voice was low, her heart beat was starting to grow, Klaus could hear Tyler in the distance.

"You should go to the party, I will be fine here." Tyler said, Klaus heard Caroline pause, he could imagine a confused look on her face.

"But I'd much rather hang with you." She let a small laugh out. She was still confused, poor Caroline.

"Trust me. I am having no fun right now." He heard her sigh and start walking down the steps. Klaus gave a small smile and looked back at Haley.

"And I think I know why." He smiled, though he found nothing funny about this situation. Haley started to walk past him, knocking into his shoulder.

"I should be going." Her voice was low.

"Well, I wouldn't go through the front door. Caroline may see." She turned to face him, distaste on her face, but she did comply and walked out of the back door. Klaus sat down on the desk, his feet up on the table.

Klaus could hear Tyler walking down the corridor, he stopped as he entered the room and saw Klaus in the seat.

"She's quite fetching, that Hayley." Klaus smirked at him.

"Where is she?" Tyler's voice was laced with fear.

"Oh, she had to run but don't worry." Klaus was smiling, a smile that did not reach his eyes. "I had her take the back door so Caroline wouldn't see." His voice was light and airy.

"Whatever you think you know-" He started walking towards Klaus.

"I don't know anything, but I've put together a pretty convincing picture. Why don't you tell me where my imagination deviates from reality?" He swung his legs off the desk and stood up. "You went off to the Appalachians to break my sire bond. There, you met a pack of werewolves,"

He had his hands behind his back and was circling Tyler like a shark, about to make his move.

"Begged them for help. Among them was a girl. She was gorgeous," His heart rate was so high that it was as good as a confession. "With the same animal instincts as you. Emotions ran high" He motions to the ceiling. "Inhibitions ran low."

"Stop it." Tyler shook his head.

"Then, in a moment of weakness, the thick sexual tension became something much more real." He put emphasis on the word 'sexual', he could tell that Tyler was becoming angry.

"I said stop!" Tyler turned to face Klaus, his face was masked with rage.

"And Caroline has no idea?" He sighed. The telephone rang, it rang into the silence, Klaus walked over to the phone. He looked at the caller ID.

Damon.

"Hello, Damon." Klaus sat down.

"Klaus, where's Tyler?" … Klaus lifted his feet back on the table.

"Tyler's otherwise occupied making big decisions about honesty and whatnot." He looked at Tyler meaningfully. "Is there anything I can do?" He smiled, his voice was lighter.

"I'm going after the vampire hunter, so if he'd like to join…" Damon's voice trailed off.

"He wouldn't… I, however…"

"Meet me at the hospital in fifteen-minutes." Damon cut in.

"Pleasure." Klaus smiled and hung up. He swung his legs off of the desk. And he walked up to Tyler and lowered his voice. "Think about Caroline, Tyler… Just think." And he walked down the corridor and out of the house.

OoooOOOoooO

Klaus had just knocked the hunter out so he called two of his Hybrids to come and take him back to the mansion. He was now heading back to the Lockwood's. He would have taken the car but he wanted to get there quickly. He had business to settle with Tyler.

He was running down the driveway, greenery flashing before him, he could see the grand house in front of him. When he got to the steps he slowed into normal walking pace. He opened the door walked to the study. Tyler was just pouring himself a drink.

"Tyler." Klaus walked up behind him, Tyler swung around.

"Klaus, I would have thought that you have somewhere to be, being best friends with Damon." Klaus let out a cold laugh.

"Well I would much rather be here and wonder if you have had a nice little chat to Caroline." Klaus paused to hear Tyler's heart beat begin to speed up. Tyler didn't say anything. Klaus leaned forward and said in a low voice, his pupils were dilating, "Did you tell Caroline?"

"I can't be compelled. I'm on vervain." Tyler replied.

Klaus smiled and let out a sardonic laugh. "Well, I guess I have my evening planned," Tyler's face fell and he started to back away. "Bleeding you of vervain." Klaus walked a step forward with every step Tyler took back.

"Why do you care so much?!" Tyler yelled, he had hit the wall. Klaus paused. Why did he care so much?

"Because she deserves better." Klaus closed the distance and snapped Tyler's neck. "So much better."

Klaus dragged Tyler down the stairs, making sure to bang his head on nearly every step. Every time that Tyler began to groan Klaus would take pleasure in snapping his neck again.

The cellar was a big open space with a high celling. Since the Lockwood's were part of the council they had a chamber full of vervain and stakes. This would be fun. Klaus quickly found some ropes and a bucket of vervain water, he ignored the stinging, burning pain as he doused the ropes in vervain. He had left Tyler slumped in the corner. Klaus walked towards the Hybrid and quickly tied his hands to pieces of stone that were sticking out. He could see the skin become irritated and red. It reminded him of Caroline's jaw when Alaric had kidnapped her.

Klaus had taken Tyler's shirt off, just to make it easier for Klaus to cut him, to make him bleed. He quickly wrapped a rope around Tyler's middle and ankles, just to make sure that he would not be able to leave. Tyler slowly came too. Klaus was over by the bucket of wolfs bane, holding a syringe that he was filling up with wolfs bane. He heard Tyler begin to struggle.

"What the hell?!" Tyler said loudly.

Klaus smiled, this brought him back to the days in which he and his youngest brother would torture people to get information out of them, he could usually compel them but it was always much more fun to hear them cry out, knowing that no one would come to save them.

Klaus began to walk over to Tyler and put the syringe in his neck, he pushed the amber liquid into Tyler's main artery. Tyler groaned.

"Don't worry," Klaus said. He was still smiling. "It's just enough to weaken you, we wouldn't want you making this harder than it has to be, would we?" Tyler just groaned.

"Now, Tyler, I am going to ask you, one more time, to answer honestly. Did you tell Caroline all that happened? If you answer honestly, it will save you a whole world of pain." Klaus said, his voice was low.

"Go to hell." Tyler half groaned.

"Wrong!" Klaus smiled, he was looking forward to this.

Klaus turned around and began to stride towards the hunting equipment that Mr. Lockwood had. He ran his finger over the knife hilts. He picked up a small knife, it was very sharp. He walked over to Tyler.

"Since you heal quickly we will be here a while." He smiled as he cut a thin line around Tyler's neck. Thick red blood started cascading down his torso, like a waterfall of blood. It had already began to heal. Klaus used his vampire speed and slashed four more cuts. Blood was running all over his body. Tyler was groaning and crying out. Klaus smiled again, he stood back to admire his handy work.

Klaus turned around and looked at the selection of stakes. He picked up a small one, turned quickly and threw it at Tyler. Tyler let out a scream as it pierced his wrist. The blood started to trickle down his arm. Klaus turned and with a flick of the wrist he threw one more stake at Tyler. Klaus strode towards him, with a thick, sharp stake in his hand. He started to cut down into Tyler's chest, not very deep but enough to get blood out. He stopped again and stood back.

"Why don't you just kill me…?" Tyler said as he looked up at Klaus.

"Now, where would be the fun in that?" Klaus said.

"You… You would get Caroline all to yourself. So why?" Tyler said weakly.

Klaus had not taken this into account. He could just kill Tyler, rip off his head, or rip out his heart. He would have Caroline all to himself. HE could tell her that Tyler left with the wolf girl. She would be seeking reassurance, and he would be there, to tell her that it was not her fault that it was Tyler that had strayed. That it would all be okay. Klaus enjoyed the thought of being her knight but shook his head back to reality.

"I think the vervain's out of your system." Klaus said flatly. He cut the vervain ropes with a sharp movement of his hand. Tyler fell to the stone floor. Klaus knelt down and looked Tyler in the eyes.

"Stand up." His pupils dilated, Tyler stood up and groaned in pain.

"You don't have to do this." Tyler said, pleadingly.

"I do." Klaus said flatly. "Now, answer all of my questions honestly. Did you sleep with Hayley?" Klaus said commandingly.

"Yes." Tyler said, there was no emotion in his voice.

"Why?" Klaus said.

"I felt like I was losing Caroline. I needed reassurance. Hayley was there." Tyler blinked.

"She doesn't deserve you." Klaus said before he could stop himself.

"Yeah, but she sure as hell doesn't deserve you." Tyler said savagely.

"How early on did you sleep with Hayley?" Klaus ignored Tyler, even though he knew that it was true.

He did not deserve her. He would just corrupt her, corrupt her with his darkness. Then something came to him that a friend had said to him, long, long ago. Stars can't shine without darkness, Niklaus. Remember that.

"The second week." Tyler said bluntly. This brought Klaus back to reality.

"Why did you keep denying it?" Klaus asked, he was curious. "It couldn't have been that good. Could it?" Klaus gave a mischievous smile.

"She got pregnant. I was going to stay but she lost the baby. Caroline would never forgive me. I couldn't let anybody know." Klaus looked at Tyler for a second. He didn't seem like the paternal type. Tyler blinked.

"Please do not tell, Caroline. Please, Klaus." Tyler pleaded. Klaus leaned forward.

"I'm not going to tell her, Tyler. Because I know that you will slip up, one way or another, and I will be there, I will be there to pick up the pieces." Klaus paused, wondering whether he should go on. "You will never understand her, Tyler. I have been on this earth for almost a thousand years, and in all that time I have not seen someone with as much light and caring in her. You just wanted her for the sex. You took her for granted." Klaus sighed.

"As much as I have enjoyed this meeting. I believe that it is time to go." Klaus smiled. "I will have her one day, Tyler. Mark my words. One day." Tyler looked like he was about to retort but Klaus cut in. "Forget this ever happened. You poured yourself a drink and then you took a lie down." Klaus' pupils dilated and then the deed was done.

As Klaus walked back up the staircase there was one line of speech that kept running through his mind. Stars can't shine without darkness, Niklaus. Remember that.

OoooOOOoooO

Well there we go! I do personally think that Tyler and Hayley did sleep together, mainly because no one would act like that if they didn't do it? Why didn't Tyler tell Caroline about Hayley? So many questions.

Anyway! Thank you for the follows, favourites and reviews, they keep me writing every day! Please leave a review if you feel inclined, and have a great day!
