The Witchcraft and The Truth

。，。，。

"Witch, what did you do?" Klaus said angrily. He was glaring at Bonnie. He knew he'd never have a good relationship with her; he kidnapped, threatened and used her too much.

"All three of you are under a truth spell." Bonnie walked over to Klaus. He was on his knees because the chains restricted him from standing. He tried to tug at them still, but it was useless. "I charmed the chains, don't bother wasting your strength." She then quickly walked over to Tyler, who was sitting with his head in his palms. Bonnie asked strongly, "Why did you attack Caroline?"

Tyler raised his head and locked eyes with Bonnie; "I got angry."

"Why" Bonnie was now glaring at him.

Tyler moved his head slowly to glare at Klaus; "She got too close to him."

"I told you nothing happened." Caroline snapped at him. Bonnie noticed that once Caroline said that Klaus shut his eyes and lowered his head. She walked back near the door and stood between the two.

"Is that the truth?" Bonnie asked openly.

Surprisingly Klaus and Caroline both said "No." Caroline was stunned and covered her mouth after. Klaus laughed under his breath. Caroline kept shaking her head; she's been trying to convince herself that nothing happened. In reality, she had a great time; he was a true gentleman that night and let himself open up to her. It was the first time she truly saw any humanity in him.

"Care, what happened?" Bonnie could see that Caroline was starting to tear up. Caroline hadn't even admitted her feelings to herself. She wanted to believe he was a monster, but that first night, the day he cured her from Tyler's bite she knew there was something in Klaus. Then at the ball, she took the liberty to stand up to him and he appreciated it.

"He showed me he cared." Caroline looked down and starting to play with her fingers. Tyler scoffed and laughed.

"Not possible." He said shaking his head in disbelief.

Klaus spat right back; "Oh shut up. You're only mad because you know I can give Caroline so much more than the simple life you plan to live." Tyler tried to attack Klaus, but the chains restricted him.

"Why did you want to take Caroline around the world?" Bonnie interrupted them.

"She's beautiful, strong and full of light. She deserves to see what the world has to offer." His tone of voice was genuine, and he himself knew he meant every word.

"Why not just take a family member?" Caroline curiously asked.

Klaus laughed, because he knew his response would make everyone angry and purely embarrass Caroline. "Well its not the same love. There are obvious reasons why I'd want to take you." Everyone could pick up on Klaus's seductive tone, and Caroline's face turned bright red from humiliation. "I've got what I want. I just want to live in peace." He looked down.

"But why me?" Caroline yelled. Tyler was listening in disgust. He wanted to shield his ears.

"You had the courage to stand up to me. You told me that I was afraid that no one would love me, and its true love. I did thank you for your honesty." Klaus cleared his throat. "After a thousand years of being alone, it'd be nice to have a companion." Klaus locked eyes with Caroline who was on the verge of crying. "Someone who is the opposite of me."

Bonnie observed every detail of what Klaus said, and knew it was genuine. He didn't regret or take back a word he said. With the truth spell, if he said something he didn't want to his body language would have given it away. Bonnie shook her head; she never thought any of that would come out of Klaus. There was a long silent pause, but then Tyler had to break it.

"That's all bull shit." He laughed to himself.

"Explain that to your witch." Klaus smirked and shook his head. "You, mate, are a not worth Caroline." Tyler gave Klaus a fierce look; they stared at each other and had a war with their eyes.

Bonnie called out his name; "Tyler." She walked over to him and then crossed her arms. "Do you love Caroline?" Klaus waited in anticipation for Tyler's answer.

Tyler looked at Caroline and said; "Yes."

"Why did you attack her at the cemetery? Why not just attack Klaus?" Bonnie was angry that Tyler would even touch Caroline aggressively.

"I just…I just got overwhelmed. My anger took over me. I hate him! Caroline should be no where near that monster." Tyler was boiling again. Just thinking about Klaus made him angry. "I went to break my sire bond to find out he's been trying to get with Caroline."

Caroline butted in; "But you didn't trust me." Caroline gulped and cleared her throat. "Tyler, you made me more afraid than anyone. Even Klaus."

Bonnie walked over to comfort Caroline, but then she started asking questions that Caroline hoped she somehow would have avoided. "Did you go anywhere when you were running from Tyler."

"Yes." Caroline looked towards the ceiling to hold back the tears. "I went to the place where I felt I'd be the safest." Caroline paused, but she could feel the truth spell ripping at her conscience. "I went to Klaus." Klaus looked away from all of them because he knew the follow up question Bonnie was going to ask.

"Did anything happen? You're okay right?" Bonnie put her hand on Caroline, and she could already read what happened before Caroline could respond. She pulled her hand away quickly; she was shocked to feel what Caroline experienced.

"I was upset and scared." The tears started to fall now. Klaus felt her pain because he knew this was not the way Caroline wanted to tell the truth. "I felt safe." Caroline was basically chocking herself, trying to keep the words back as long as possible, but the truth spell just kept pushing them out. "I mean I'm okay, and I don't regret anything." Hearing this made Klaus smile, and Tyler was still confused. He figured where it was leading to, but was waiting for Caroline to flat out say it. "And I broke things off with Tyler so it wasn't wrong."

"Caroline just say it!" Tyler yelled; he was tugging at the chains.

"Fine, I had sex with Klaus!" She covered her mouth so quickly and then sunk into a corner. "I shouldn't have, but I felt so safe."

"I swear, the second Bonnie lets me go, I'm going to kill you." Tyler glared trying to jump at Klaus.

"Mate, that sounds like one of my lines." Klaus was just smirking, until he looked at Caroline who was balling her eyes out in the corner.

Bonnie decided she heard enough; she picked up the grimoire and reversed the truth spell. "Caroline, we should leave. Let the two work things out." Bonnie said while walking over to help Caroline up. "We can talk about it at my place." The two girls began to leave; Klaus and Tyler were trying to break out of the chains.

Once they both heard the car engine, they yanked at the walls and the chains snapped off almost instantly. Tyler went immediately to knock over Klaus. Klaus used the chains to his advantage and wrapped them around Tyler's neck. He then lifted him up and tossed him into the wall.

"Mate, this is getting a little old." Klaus said huffing. "Just let me have Caroline and then that's it." Klaus said with a pompous attitude. Tyler's eyes started glowing yellow and his fangs were protruding from his mouth. Klaus got tired of him and pinned him to the wall. He got extremely close to Tyler's face and aggressively stated; "I would rip your heart out, but if I did that would upset you, so why don't you thank Caroline rather than try to kill her. And I swear mate, you even attempt to hurt her and I wont blink to tear your heart from your chest." With that Klaus knocked him on the head and Tyler fell to the ground. Klaus started to exit the cellar, but Tyler still had to get his last word in.

"Stop pretending to care." Tyler coughed up blood after he finished the sentence.

"I don't need to explain myself to you mate, but even you know true love conquers all." Klaus laughed and left with a smile on his face. He, of coarse, was heading to Bonnie's; after all poor Caroline was having meltdowns. While Bonnie had that truth spell, he admitted things he hadn't admitted to himself. Now that he could clearly see what he wanted, he wouldn't stop until he had it.
