I slid into my car turning on the ignition and throwing my head back on the seat for a minute. I felt like insecure Caroline today. I was so worried that Klaus would see through to all these insecurities and not want me anymore. It was the strong Caroline he liked. Not the neurotic one and yet she was making an appearance today. I put my foot on the gas pedal and took off towards school.
I was only a couple miles away from Klaus's place when my car shifted and I immediately turned the steering wheel to maneuver to the side of the road. I got out looking down at my front tire going flat. I yelled maliciously at my tire and then it all went black.
When I opened my eyes there was a cave wall in front of me. I quickly stilled looking around. I was in a cave and my hands. I looked up and my wrists were chained to restraints. I frantically started to pull my arms trying to loosen the restraints from my wrists.
"Stop it" I heard a voice hiss
I looked up to see the red haired witch maneuvering slowly towards me.
"You better unlock these now or you will be dead soon" I snapped
The witch started giggling and brought her face up to mine. "Oh, Darling. I am not afraid of you" She giggled out.
"You will be afraid when Klaus knows what you.."
She put her hand over my mouth and hissed "I am not afraid of him"
"You should be" I spit out
The witch backed away and started giggling again.
Just then a big man walked in. He looked like he could be a bouncer. His eyes were dark yellow I noticed as he maneuvered to my side.
The witch looked from me to him and said "This is my wolf, care for him to say hello?" she giggled.
Just then his fangs came out and he quickly bit the side of my shoulder. I screamed as I felt the burning sensation that was left when he pulled away.
"Ahhh, those wolf bites. Deadly to Vampires" She said walking back over to me. "But then you know that" She giggled again.
Just then I heard a loud growl that shook the cave. I looked up to see Klaus standing there. His chest heaving and his eyes dark.
"Klaus!" I yelled
He lunged at the witch but before he could make it to her he was catapulted backwards onto the ground. He stood up furious and looked down. I followed his eyes. There was what looked to be salt forming a barrier around her the witch and the wolf. Tears started rolling down my face at the realization.
Klaus snarled "let her GO"
The witch started to giggle again as she looked at me and then to Klaus. "You know I would….however I won't."
Klaus furiously looked around the cave. Seeing a small chair he lunged for it and broke it in half. Taking one of the legs he quickly threw it towards the man who had tried to dodge it but it staked him in the shoulder. He pulled the stake out of his shoulder and looked at Klaus before putting the stake to my heart.
The witch went into a giggle fit again. "Oh, Klaus you're so stupid and predictable."
Klaus growled eyeing me and the man with the stake.
"What do you want" he snarled
The witch straightened up eyeing him fiercely. "PAY BACK" she shouted at him.
"You will pay for the sins you have committed as well as your families" She said her eyes turning black.
I was holding on but the bite was taking over. I was having a hard time standing, I felt like my body was about to collapse. I let go a little.
"Caroline" Klaus shouted
"Yes, Caroline. She has been bit and only your blood can save her." She said faking a sad pout
"Let her go, let me heal her and you can have me" Klaus snapped
"I plan to make you pay. You being so willing is such a nice treat" She hissed
"Klaus don't" was all I could mutter out as I looked up at him barley able to hold my gaze on him.
"So here's the deal. I thought about locking you away from centuries since I don't have the right means to kill you. But then" she said taking a quick glance at me. "I saw how you were with this girl and I thought to myself..what would be better than to take that from you."
Klaus growled and lunged forward stopping at the line. "You said you would let her go" he snarled
"Oh, I have every intention of letting her go as soon as I do to you what I have planned" She said with a lazy smile.
"Then do it" He shouted "She's dying" He said letting his voice trail off as he stared at me.
The witch let out a breath of air "Ok,ok. So moody." She laughed.
"You will let me put a spell on you. This spell will take away all your memories of Caroline. I figure the worst I could do to you is make you walk around alone again..without her"
I looked up and gasped. "Ill help you remember me" I whispered
The witch laughed before saying. "I am not stupid. I thought of that so including you not remembering I am taking your humanity as well. You will know nothing of love or compassion..you will never feel for her like you do now"
I looked at the witch and then at Klaus. No Klaus? He would be a pure monster.
"Why would you do that!" I snapped "It would make it worse for you, he'd just be a killer!"
"Darling, I'll take care of that" She said softly before looking back at Klaus.
"One chance Klaus, she's fading fast. Do you agree? You can love her dead or never knew you loved her at all."
He looked at me with so much sadness in his eyes. He closed his eyes and I let out a scream. "KLAUS DON'T YOU DARE!"
He opened his eyes looking up at the witch. "I agree"
