TW: smut, bloody mess and gore, vampire stuff, a bit of angst, and mentions of torture

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

The motel is more grim than she recalled from last night. The room had walls that were yellowed slightly and the curtains looked a faded blue. Other than the bed, the small room had an old-fashioned brown table in the corner, a table that she had gotten quite familiar with…

Shaking her head, Caroline looked down at the sheets that were covering her. At least the dark blue cotton sheets seemed somewhat new, though after their activities they were not that fresh anymore. Oh, and they had broken the lamp that was on the bedside table, that was just great.

Caroline stood up with a deep sigh, sheets falling from her naked body. It was time to get dressed, she came to a stop at her pile of clothes. The blonde stared down at the clothes at her feet. Her eyes widened when she remembered that Klaus had ruined her only top, what a dick. She picked up the two pieces of red fabric, it was literally split in two. She felt the need to shout at him. But where is he anyway?

Her eyes fell on the blood bag on the table, she hadn't noticed that from the bed. Caroline didn't waste time questioning it, ripping it open with her teeth as she looked at the note Klaus had left her.

The hybrid had sketched her and watched her sleep apparently, twilight much. Still, Caroline couldn't help but feel touched by the drawing.

Klaus had managed to make her look angelic, her eyes a gentle shut and soft skin so skillfully visualised that it made her smile.

'You like it then?'

Startled, Caroline looked at the door. Klaus was leaning against the doorframe, fully dressed. He had even changed his clothes which made her feel even more naked. The blonde glared at him as she remembered whose fault it was again.

'You're lucky you make pretty drawings, I was about to shout at you. Maybe I still am,' Caroline huffed, crossing her arms over her chest.

Klaus smirked at that. 'What am I apologising for this morning love?' he asked innocently.

That did make her angry. 'Isn't it obvious,' Caroline snapped, gesturing at herself dramatically, blood bag still in hand, 'You ripped my only top! What am I supposed to wear?'

The blonde was practically stomping her feet and that asshole was laughing as if this was all very entertaining.

'You won't need clothes for what I have planned,' Klaus teased, his eyes wandering all over her body.

'Seriously, what is wrong with you!' Caroline shouted disbelievingly. For effect, she threw her blood bag at him in frustration, it being the nearest object in her proximity and all that.

Drops of blood spurted all over his light grey shirt as Klaus caught the blood bag in his hand. Caroline had forgotten in her anger that the blood bag was opened, and her mouth fell open in surprise at the consequences. His expression was unreadable as he examined the damage, face tilted downwards. She burst out laughing once she processed what just happened. Best. Unintentional. Payback. Ever.

'Don't worry Klaus, you won't need clothes for what I have planned,' she mimicked him in-between giggles.

Head shaking, Klaus started laughing with her. They were having a little moment, she thought.

But then she almost jumped when Klaus stood before her in a woosh. 'Thanks, love,' he said raising the blood bag, 'I was feeling a bit peckish.'

Caroline shrugged, her laughter dying down. 'You're welcome? I guess.'

Klaus didn't reply, instead, he just smiled as he poured blood down her neck. Caroline's brows furrowed in confusion at his actions, this was too bizarre.

Her collarbone proved to be an ineffective barrier since the blood started dripping down her body. Her breast seemed a bit like a slide, propelling most of the blood to the floor. Caroline put her hand on his hand to stop him from pouring more. 'What are you doing?' she asked him hesitantly.

Klaus's eyes were glinting with mischief. 'Breakfast,' he commented drily before attacking her neck. Caroline wanted to object but the feeling of his red lips sucking, his teeth nibbling and his tongue licking her skin with desperation was oddly sensual. His hands gripped her waist pulling her close to him. She accepted her faith, closing her eyes in pleasure while holding onto his shirt for stability.

His head started moving down, and the moan that came out when she felt him lick the area around her nipple was louder than she intended. Klaus paused and she could tell that he was smirking without even looking at him.

It frustrated her, he frustrated her.

Caroline pulled him up wanting to glare at his cocky face.

He had blood all over his lips and chin. The red contrasted nicely with his intense eyes.

That was the moment she understood the appeal, and he saw right through her.

His eyes were twinkling at her frustration and lust.

Making a decision, Caroline pressed her lips to his chin, her tongue creeping out. Klaus happily let her explore his face, standing there patiently with a grin on his face. All the while she could feel his hands running over her bare back.

Her last destination was his lips.

Her movements were controlled as she brought her mouth to his. Brief pecks, never staying in one spot, until finally, she allowed some tongue, and Klaus drew her in.

As his lips were bruising hers, she felt his hands on her waist lifting her up and sitting her down on the hard table. Klaus stood between her legs as he deepened the kiss, one hand cupping her cheek while his other hand stroked her thighs. The touches on her thighs made her desperate for more.

Unable to take it anymore, Caroline pulled away from the kiss to look at him. His eyes were dark, gone was the teasing grin. 'Klaus,' she whispered weakly.

He knew what she wanted. 'Shh, love... I know,' Klaus said, fingers stroking her soft cheek. Then he let go, thankfully for good reason.

Gone were his jeans, gone were his pants, and Caroline's arms reached out greedily wanting to touch his skin.

He tutted at her as he softly touched her shoulders, gently pushing her back on the table.

'Relax, sweetheart, it will all be alright I promise.'

It was slightly chilly lying down like this, but she let it happen.

Caroline stared at the white ceiling wondering how she ended up here.

But before she could get all philosophical, Caroline felt him cross her legs and rest them against his shoulder, oh boy. It wasn't long after then that she felt his fingers slip inside of her.

The feeling of it made her moan, this angle was too much. 'So wet for me sweetheart,' Klaus said lowly.

Caroline could hear the smirk in his voice but she didn't retort, since she was a fucking mess and she didn't even know where to rest her arms.

He found her clit before retreating. She could only whimper at the loss of his touch.

The blonde peeked up at him, what was his game?

Caroline found him with his fingers in his mouth, before he pulled them out with a 'pop'. A Cheshire grin spread on Klaus's face when he saw her shocked expression. 'Just a taste love. I like you for breakfast.'

Feeling overwhelmed she let her head fell back on the hard table, the wetness between her thighs was aching. 'God Klaus, please just fuck me.'

His hands brushed over her long legs.

'Mmm, alright then, since you asked so nicely.'

Caroline closed her eyes in relief. Thankfully he didn't make her wait long.

Her breath caught in her throat as Klaus pushed inside of her. Why did it feel so good, it was unfair.

'My sweet Caroline,' he murmured, 'so delicious.'

That damn accent would be the death of her.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Apparently, Klaus had gone shopping for her that morning. He seemed stylish enough, still, it felt strange to have him go shopping for her.

'Just a couple of things,' he explained while playing with her hair, 'I have a sister remember.'

'So?' Caroline said, raising one eyebrow.

'Well, she likes shopping and dragging me along. You pick up a thing or two from that.'

Skepticism dripped from her tongue as spoke. 'Like what?'

'Not to go shopping with a woman.'

She pushed him off the bed. Ugh, men.

He accepted his faith grinning.

It was time for the walk of shame. Late afternoon now, they were heading to the bar to interrogate Ray soon. 'Hey,' Caroline said as she approached Stefan. He was sitting on a bench outside of the motel.

'Hey,' Stefan said, not meeting her eyes.

Caroline started to feel worried then. 'Are you alright,' she asked sitting down next to him. He looked broody, as usual.

'I called Damon. He had been trying to call me for days, and since I had nothing else to do I called him back.'

Caroline nodded, frowning slightly. 'What did he say?'

Clearly, Stefan had been thinking a lot about this because he was surprisingly forthcoming with his thoughts.

'He said he was planning to save me. I told him not to, that I didn't need saving, but Damon didn't believe me… Then he accused me of abandoning Elena for you.'

'But you didn't. You only wanted to save me, not to abandon her.'

Stefan nodded, 'Yup, I didn't want to lose another Lexi. And I didn't want to watch Elena lose another person in her life either... She has lost enough,' He sighed, before adding, 'Damon asked me what to tell Elena. I told him to tell her to wait for me, that it won't be long.'

'Well, that all depends, dear Stefan,' Klaus said, shamelessly joining their private conversation, 'on how useful you are.'

Klaus towered above them, him being the only one standing and all that.

Caroline glowered at Klaus. 'Yes, we will get you your stupid army,' she snapped.

He seemed offended at her words and raised an eyebrow at her. 'Still some pent-up frustration sweetheart?' he asked, 'We can go back in the room if you wish?'

She knew what he was implying and Caroline hated him for it.

'Don't.'

The uncomfortable silence that followed was tangible. The blonde couldn't look at either of them.

At last, it was Klaus that broke the silence. 'Clock is ticking, time to leave.'

She glanced up to find Klaus handing Stefan a blood bag, 'Strengthen up, no weakness tonight.' The hybrid was staring the younger Salvatore brother down.

'I won't disappoint you.'

The sudden smile that appeared on Klaus's face creeped her out.

Caroline felt sidelined as Stefan and Klaus approached their prey, Ray. The aura in the bar was dark, just puppets sitting around. Stefan had compelled everyone here.

Feeling useless she took a seat on one of the bar stools. Tapping her fingers on the bar she figured she would need a strong drink tonight. Bourbon, it is.

Once she received her drink Caroline turned to face the golden pair again. The blonde observed the shift in her friend, he was playing the perfect partner in crime. Stefan wanted to go home and he was willing to play ball with Klaus to get there.

Listening to Klaus's menacing voice made her wonder why she ever slept with him. She took a large sip of her drink as she reflected on this. The feelings of guilt and shame were creeping in now.

His dark side was undeniable and he brought out that side in others too. The more time she spent around him, the more he would take her down with him, she concluded.

Already, she had performed acts that were inconceivable to her before. Playing Bonnie and Clyde with him, feeding on the drunk girl on the bridge, betraying Elena by telling the truth to Klaus.

Dark, alone, and with no friends left, that's what she imagined her future would look like if she continued down this path. Elena and Bonnie wouldn't understand, and neither would Tyler and her mum.

But maybe, Stefan would understand, he had seen the effect Klaus had on her.

It's okay she told herself, it doesn't matter. Klaus would stop chasing after her now he had gotten what he wanted from her. After this road trip, it would all be over and she could go home.

Caroline took another gulp of her drink. It's just like her to sleep with the guy that gave her the slightest bit of attention, she thought bitterly.

Pulling out of her not-so-nice thoughts, she zoned into the 'conversation' again.

Stefan was speaking, clearly having come up with some kind of idea to get Ray to talk.

'Something I like to call truth or wolfsbane,' she heard him say.

Stefan's words made Klaus lean back in his seat, eyes glinting.

'Oh, this is going to be fun, Ray,' he drawled.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Watching people get tortured is not fun. In her world at least, because Klaus seemed to be enjoying the show. The hybrid had a twisted smile on his face and Caroline was pretty sure that he had a boner watching Stefan hurt Ray.

The werewolf was chained to the dartboard and her friend was throwing darts dipped in wolfsbane at him. In her experience, there are bad werewolves, like the wolves that tortured her, but there are also good ones, like Tyler. Who is to say that Ray is not one of the good ones?

'But see, he's not gonna let me stop until you tell me… And I do whatever he says, that's the way it goes around here.'

That was it, she was going outside. Caroline knew she had to tolerate this shit, but she didn't have to be there to watch it.

Gripping her second drink tightly she walked to the door, jaw clenched. She carefully averted her eyes from you know who.

Why did she even think for a second she was getting away with this.

Klaus grabbed her by her arm, and her gaze fell upon his hand in disbelief. 'And where do you think you are going, love?' he said dangerously low.

Caroline was wearing the leather jacket that he bought her, but that didn't mean he owned her. The blonde looked up at him in fury. 'Away from here.'

It was like his eyes were burning a hole in her, and she could tell Klaus was about to object.

'I'm not running. Just not a fan of watching people get tortured, unlike some people.'

The smirk fell from his face.

Disgust laced her voice as she spoke, 'Now, let go of me.'

Was it possible he looked hurt?

Shaking her head, she made her way out.
