Wicked Dreams
Chapter 7:
…..School Hallway outside the gymnasium…..
Klaus and six of his hybrids are all standing in a circle outside the gym. "Do you all understand the plan?" The hybrids all nod at Klaus' question. "Good, at exactly 10 o'clock." Klaus restates walking back into the gymnasium.
…Gymnasium….
Caroline, Tyler, Elena, and Matt are all dancing on the dance floor. There has been five fast songs on in a row now. "I have something for you." Tyler tells Caroline.
"What is it?" Caroline yells over the music.
"It's a surprise. I'll go and get it right now, it's in my locker." Tyler replies leaving Caroline on the dance floor with Elena and Matt.
…School Hallway…
Tyler is at his locker putting in his combination when one of the six hybrids comes up behind him and snaps his neck. "Get his feet." Yells the hybrid to the other. Two hybrids carry Tyler to the boiler room as the other four follow. They shut and lock the steel door barricading it in.
…Meanwhile in the Gym…..
Tyler walks out of the gym going to get Caroline's present. The first slow song of the night comes on. Elena and Matt step closer together and sway with her arms on his shoulders. Caroline is just standing in the middle of the dance floor about to walk off to the side of the gym when Klaus comes up behind her. "May I have this dance?" Klaus asks. Caroline looks around for Tyler hoping he would stop her. Before Caroline can say no to him, he grabs her hand and twirls her into his arms. She figured its just one dance; Tyler will be back any second. Klaus puts his hands around her waist, Caroline looks down. She doesn't know why she feels so vulnerable around him. "What are you thinking about?" Klaus asks as he lifts up her chin with his hand.
She doesn't want to admit it but something about Klaus is attractive. It's not just his alluring accent and looks. She can't help but think that she's attractive to the dangerous side of him. "Nothing…" Caroline replies with a lie.
"Caroline..?" Klaus says waiting for her to look up at him. "I fancy you." Klaus continues. She looks down and around to the side.
"Why do you go through all this trouble for me?" Caroline asks. She didn't actually want to ask because she's afraid that she might fall in love with the answer he gives.
"I know I don't deserve you but it doesn't stop the way I feel about you. It isn't just your flawless skin and golden hair. You're intelligent, stubborn, respectful, and beautiful and I love the way you make me feel." Klaus replies not mentioning that he loves the person he is around him. Caroline smiles back at him. Klaus leans in to kiss Caroline when Elena interrupts.
"Caroline, Klaus did something with Tyler! We found his hybrids blocking Tyler in the boiler room, they snapped his neck!" Elena yells to Caroline stopping the twos kiss.
Caroline pushes away Klaus and runs to the boiler room. "Tyler!" Caroline yelled, seeing him down on the ground. He starts to slowly get up.
"Im fine, where's Klaus?" Tyler asks.
"Don't worry about him, everything's fine." Caroline replies hoping she could keep everything civilized. She can't believe that she almost fell for Klaus' seduction! Klaus comes walking by the doorway of the boiler room. Caroline walks into the hallway away from everybody and Klaus follows "I can't believe I thought you changed. I can't forget about everything you have done to me and my friends." Caroline cried. "But that doesn't mean you have to be a bad person forever. You're in love with me and I believe anybody capable of love is capable of being saved."Caroline said softly then walked away.
