She couldn't know for certain but Caroline felt that a month had past by. Once again she had reverted back to wanting nothing to do with Klaus. The thing that confused her the most was her flip flopping feelings towards him. She didn't understand why she was hot and cold with him.
With the amount of time that had passed Caroline grew quite lonely. She'd stare out her window and watched the birds fly by. She watched them with envy knowing how free they were. She longed to grow a pair of wings and fly away from this place.
Most of the time she spent watching out from her window, she felt Klaus' eyes on her, studying her. It got to the point where she was instantly annoyed. One day she lost it and snapped.
"It's not enough that you've kidnapped me but now you have to watch my every move too?"
Klaus was taken aback by her snappy comment. This was the first time she ever really yelled at him with no fear in her eyes. He was quite taken with this new fiery side to her.
"Sorry, its just that you're the most pleasing thing around here to look at," Klaus replied with a smirk.
Caroline became instantly irked by his reply. She got up from her seat by the window and moved forward to him with no hesitation. There was nothing he could do to her now except turn into a vampire. She didn't have anything to lose except her mind.
"Do not call me a thing. I'm not a toy that you can just play with," Caroline warned.
Klaus now got up from where he sat with playfulness locked in his eyes. His smirk grew deeper, making Caroline even madder.
"I wished you had been behaving like this sooner. You're so much more fun this way."
Caroline lost all will to bite her tongue any more. In an instant she shoved him and hit him. Klaus didn't try to defend himself at all since her blows did no harm to him. But her first swing really took him off guard. Caroline was screaming bloody murdered as she continued to hit his chest.
"I hate you! I hate you!" She repeated over and over again.
Eventually Klaus grabbed her by the wrists causing her to stop. She burst into tears as she fell to the floor while Klaus held her in his arms. She didn't want him to comfort her, she wanted him to release her.
"Why are you doing this to me?" She cried.
He didn't have an answer for her because he knew that she wouldn't understand. After a while of sobbing she pulled away from him and rose to her feet. She forced as much hatred she could produce into her eyes as she spat at him.
"I want to go for a walk. I've been locked in this house for days."
Klaus submitted to her commands knowing that it would calm her down. Caroline kept her mind clear of anything so the blood bond wouldn't pick up on what she was planning to do. She had enough of this place and of him and she wanted out. There was no way that she was going to willfully be his prisoner any longer.
Twenty minutes into the walk, where they were so far away from the house, Caroline and Klaus were deep in the woods that surrounded the area. She remained calmed and took a deep breath before setting the plan into motion.
Convincingly, Caroline faked a fall and tripped on a fallen off tree branch. She made a yelping noise to go with her fake collapse as Klaus went to her to help her up. She was lying on her stomach as he wrapped his arms around her waist, rolling her over onto her back. He was going to lift her up but remained arched over her. He took in her beautiful features falling in love all over again.
"Tell me why you love me," Caroline whispered.
"We'll be here all day long if I answer that," he smiled.
"But you don't know me. How can you love someone you don't even know?"
"It's complicated my love." He began to move closer to her putting little space between their bodies. He kissed her neck as Caroline made a little noise to his touch.
"That's just the thing Klaus," Caroline began. Her left arm was around his back as her right one was free of movement. Her free hand grabbed something off of the ground raising it to his back. "I'm not your love."
In a swift movement, Caroline staked him through the heart for the second time and watch him die once again on top of her. She pushed him off of her feeling the disgust clench her as she dropped the discarded stick she got from the ground.
Caroline knew he'd come back. But she wouldn't let him find her. She checked his pants pockets and found a wallet with money and credit cards in it. There was the need to mock him for having it since he was a vampire but there was no time too. As she got up from searching him she ran away from Klaus' body never looking back. She had enough of his games and decided that it was time to play her game of hide and seek. He could search all he wanted but he wouldn't get her. If he found her then she would be ready for him, somehow. Game on.
