Hey guys, I just wanted to say thanks for all the reviews and such. I didn't expect many people to actually like my writing, so thanks! Anyway, back to the story.
"Caroline" a voice nearby whispered. Slowly, her senses returned to her. A pair of eyes, close to her own gleamed in the moonlit cell. His mouth twisted into a smile as he saw that she had woken. Blood was smeared across his lips, when she saw it her heart gave a slight shiver.
Klaus. Of course it would be Klaus. "C'mon sweetheart, let's get out of here" he said, grabbing her by the hand. She could smell the blood that covered him, rich and dark, it burned through her veins, spreading a dull ache through her body. There was something more, some alluring scent that was familiar. It smelt like pine, of fresh rain, dark forests bathed in moonlight. It pulsed, even stronger as she remembered the first time that Klaus had knocked on her door, the first time that he had spoken to her, confusing her with his words of sorrow, of great anger and pain, who could equally rip her heart out and also make it beat like a thousand drums. It was the smell of his blood, the very scent made her eyes darken, her throat ache.
"Come with me Caroline" he whispered, the deep pitch of his voice showed his desperation. Nearing the door, she stumbled. "No, I can't" she whispered "If I leave, you'll hurt me, and if I stay they'll hurt me." Suddenly, like a switch, Klaus's eyes burned yellow, his fangs extended and his entire being flickered to a dark, treacherous god. "You've got that right" he snarled, grabbing her neck, and snapping it swiftly.
"You know, I always found you to be quite annoying" a female voice drawled. "I mean, you're just such a goody-too-shoes. Maybe turning you was a mistake. You're even more of a pain in my ass."
"Katherine" Caroline groaned. "Right here. Or am I? Doesn't seem like the exact place that I'd hang out, does it?" she replied. "Who knows, perhaps you've finally gone crazy?"
"Just leave me alone. I'm dying, can't you just me rest in peace?" Caroline mumbled, her face lying against the dirty floor. "As a figment of your imagination, I'm supposed to help you make a life-altering decision, ya-da-ya, like something outta the movies" Katherine said, nudging her with the points of her high-heels. "Your imagination is sooo boring" she stated as she flicked her hair off her shoulder, checking her makeup in a pocket mirror. "I mean, why you would imagine me is a complete mystery."
"Has anyone else made a psychic visit to Crazy- as-Coco-Pops- Caroline town?" Katherine asked, her eyebrow slightly raised. "Yeah, Klaus. He killed me, but I'd rather have that again than be visited by you" Caroline answered.
"Ouch, I'm so hurt. You know, it would be far easier if you just killed yourself. Save me the effort of having to track you down and doing it myself." "I know" Caroline sighed, trying to move, grimacing as she felt the numbness in her fingers and toes had spread down her arms and legs. Her skin was greying by the hour, soon she would be nothing more than a husk.
"So, going to offer some cosmic guru advice other than to just kill myself?" she asked Katherine. "Yeah, stop being such a prude and open your eyes. Redefine your approach to your life. Love whoever or whatever the heck you want. I mean, look at Damon, Stefan and me. You've got an eternity to make mistakes, to fall in and out of love. Don't live the rest of your life in regret" With that, Katherine disappeared, leaving the cell to complete silence once again.
"Come back" Caroline whimpered.
