Klaus had locked her in the room. It was not really a huge surprise to Caroline. He would probably just use her as a bargaining chip to try to get Bonnie to break the spell. That was another thing. The spell. She closed her eyes and gave herself a good pinch. When she opened her eyes again, she was in exactly the same place. "Damn. Why couldn't it just be a nightmare." She whispered. She flung herself on the bed and smushed a pillow over her head. She barely heard the knock at the door. "Excuse me, Miss, but the Master would like to see you." The door unlocked to reveal a mousey human with large brown eyes. "Follow me, please." Caroline refused. Just because she was stuck with Klaus didn't mean she had to do as he liked. She sat down on the bed and the girl stood in the doorway. After five minutes, she left.
"How dare she refuse me!" Klaus was angry. Just because the baby vampire was pretty, she thought she didn't have to listen to him. Yes, he found her extremely . . . intoxicating. But human drug addicts thought the same thing about heroin up until the minute it killed them. No matter how pretty or full of light she was, he could not get attached. It would be the death of him. And he had to show her that he was the one in control of this situation. He might have been trapped in his home, but he would get every advantage out of it. And he would have his vengeance. He had to be extra cruel now, so she would never doubt his power for as long as it took to break this spell. "Lock her in her room. When she wants to speak with me then you can let her out."
It had been a day before Klaus decided to call Bonnie. "I'm not breaking the spell." Was how she answered the phone. "Witch, I have your friend and I won't hesitate to kill her." Klaus was desperate. He needed out. "Kill her then. Yes, she is my friend. But if I let you out, you would probably kill her and a whole bunch of other people. Caroline, I'm sure, would be happy to die if it means that you can't harm anyone else." Bonnie stated it as if it was a fact. And Klaus had no doubt that it was true. "And besides, she is stuck in there until you figure out how to break the spell anyway. Isn't that what you always wanted? Someone that couldn't possibly ever leave you?" Bonnie said this bitterly. Klaus wasn't going to get the answer he wanted so he hung up on the witch.
This new information was rather interesting though. Bonnie spoke the truth when she said he just wanted someone to stay with him, no matter what. In this case, Caroline wouldn't have the choice of leaving him. And even though he hated that she stood up to him, it was part of what drew her to him.
Another four days had passed and she was still stuck in the room. The orange walls were starting to give her a headache. Not having blood was making her weak. She had been told that if she asked to see Klaus, she would be let out of the room. But she wouldn't ever ask to see that monster. Just thinking about it made her sicker than anything else combined could. She had run out of things to do hours after she got there. She had searched her purse and found five bottles of nail polish. She had perfect nails already. And there was no paper anywhere in the room. So she painted on the walls. It was already orange, so she had painted a scene with a setting sun. She painted horses and the brush of the nail polish made their hair lifelike. Now that she was too tired to move much, she looked at her half-finished art and smiled. If she couldn't make at least one positive thing in a bad situation, then she wouldn't be the bubbly Caroline Forbes that everyone knew and loved.
Klaus had called all the witches that he knew of. Only one of them had thought he could help break the curse. He had tried to enter the property and couldn't. It seemed like anything supernatural at all wouldn't be able to get through. He had at least hired live in maids, butlers, chefs, and personal assistants. So he had a fresh supply of blood whenever he needed. But he was tired of being alone. He watched the sun setting from the window of his study. With nothing to do, he sat and starting sketching a picture of a sunset. When he was done he felt like it was still missing something. So he added horses. Unbeknownst to him, it was a black and white replica of the painting on the wall of his guest room.
So I'm just kind of trying to set things up. I hope Klaus wasn't too out of character. I wasn't too sure how to pull that off. I really wanted them to have something in common. Klaus always sketches. So I thought that Caroline could paint. A huge thanks to Musicalfreak. Whenever I'm lost, she seems to know exactly what to say to get me back on track. She knows Klaus and Caroline better than most of the other fans I know. I don't think I would be posting this if it was not for her wonderful advice. Shelaweena, thanks! I'm always glad when someone enjoys my writing. Madamam, I love them too. I think they could make a whole show on them, and I would be hooked. I'm going to touch on him saving her sometime in the next few chapters. (I think) When I started writing this, I wasn't sure how much I was going to keep from the show. I still have no clue. But I know I want to keep that part in. I feel like I need to re-watch the last season so I can refresh my memory on what exactly happened. Thanks for reading.
