1 week later.
Klaus had waited in her bedroom everyday for an entire week, and he was becoming impatient, there had been no sign of her, after three days he had even checked on the house every four hours, trying to tell himself that her welfare was not his concern, he simply wanted to know how many vampires were in Mystic Falls.
He moved soundlessly from room to room, everything appeared normal, but then he finally came to rest at her mother's bedroom and hearing no heartbeat he pushed the door open, and that's when he finally saw the signs of a struggle.
The bed covers had been thrown on the floor and the lampshade was hanging pitifully off the ceiling. The wallpaper had been ripped and blood had been smeared across the walls.
He grabbed his hair in frustration and cursed himself for his own stupidity. His gaze landed on a picture of a younger Caroline, wearing a princess costume and grinning at the camera, there were several along the wall as Caroline progressed in age, but nothing recently, since she had turned into a vampire, he felt momentarily sorry for her.
He grabbed a photo of Caroline from what must have been a year ago and folded it in his pocket, trying to ignore the irony that it was from a Halloween party as he ran from the house.
It didn't take him long to get to his destination and within mere moments he was banging on the Salvatore house, the door opened to reveal Damon who seemed to acknowledge him with no trace of malice.
"I have a problem," Klaus said smoothly, trying not to snap Damon's neck as he thought of his hand's on Caroline, torturing her.
He almost took a step back when Damon stepped out of the protection of his house and said, "So do I. Stefan-"
"Caroline was taken to," Klaus said, handing Damon the stake he was initially going to kill him with.
"Of course that's what worries you," Damon sneered gripping the stake tightly, "I suppose we're a team now."
"Oh," Klaus grinned, "I wouldn't go that far."
"You must be getting pretty thirsty," Kol taunted, waving a blood bag in front of Stefan's and Caroline's faces.
Caroline stared at the bag, her throat clenching and constricting, becoming drier by the second and she let out a frustrated whimper before falling to the floor, clutching at her stomach.
"Stefan has the right idea though don't you?" Kol asked turning to stare at Stefan, throwing the bag across the other side of the room where it hit the wall and burst open.
Caroline watched the red liquid trickle down the wall and licked her lips but remained where she was, Stefan on the other hand leapt up, trying to rush towards it but was pulled back harshly by the chains encircling his arms and legs.
"That," Kol chuckled, "Wasn't a good idea, but drinking from a human is the best experience," He saw Caroline's eyes widened as he walked towards a door leading to an adjoining room.
A whimper came from behind it as he grabbed someone and threw her towards Stefan who caught her eagerly.
Caroline only saw a flash of blond hair before Stefan began feeding, Kol pulled him away from the human who gasped and moved backwards, her eyes finding Caroline and she screamed.
Caroline gazed at her mother and pulled at her restraints, letting out screams as Kol kissed the woman's neck who cried softly.
"You bastard!" Caroline yelled and turned round to face Stefan who looked pale, he looked like he was going to apologize but when she fought against her restraints harder he just shrugged and gazed at anywhere but her.
"Do you remember Caroline," Kol whispered against her mother's neck, gazing at her intently, "Your confrontation with my brother over that pathetic lovesick drawing? How you yelled and told him to leave you forever? Well, say goodbye to your Mother, a punishment provided by Klaus himself for his unrequited emotions I believe."
Caroline screamed as Kol's fangs sank into her mother's neck.
After the Mikalson ball.
"You don't like the drawing?" An arrogant voice behind her almost made her drop the picture.
"It's inappropriate," Caroline whispered, gazing at the lines which made her face, drawn so beautifully that she wished she could accept it happily.
She twirled round, her blue dress clinging to her elegantly, making her appear graceful despite her flustered face, Klaus noticed that she was clutching the drawing and chuckled.
"What?" She demanded, her voice rising as she tried to control her emotions, "You think you can draw a portrait of me and I'll be seduced?"
Klaus opened his mouth, a dejected look crossing his features and she shook her head, throwing the picture across the room and advancing on him.
"You've threatened my friend's life's more then I can even be bothered to count, you turned Tyler into your pet," She was close to him now, her finger pointing into his chest, "You. Tried. To. Sacrifice. Me."
Klaus took an unneeded breath, staring at her, wishing he had the ability to compel her to forget that detail of their past, but he knew he couldn't, he loved her fire.
"It was necessary love," He breathed, moving her hand away from his chest and taking a step back.
"It was necessary?" She practically bellowed, "How dare you! You evil son of a bitch-"
"Technically I suppose I am," Klaus smirked but Caroline didn't find his remark amusing, instead she picked up the lamp on her bedside table and flung it at him.
Klaus caught it mid air and let it drop loudly to the floor, "Don't anger me," He warned.
"Oh!" She threw her hands up in the air, "Do not anger the powerful Klaus, he could get all violent on me, and stab me," Her hands came to rest of her hips and she whispered, "Why don't you? I'm of no use for you. And to be quite honest, I'm fed up of your pathetic little chase."
Klaus clenched his knuckles but remained where he was, he could see her fuming, see the unshed tears in her eyes and regretted immediately the attraction he felt for her.
"I want you to leave," Caroline said, when Klaus didn't move she closed her eyes, "Now."
When she opened them again he was gone. She picked up the picture he had drawn of her and sat on the bed, staring at it for the rest of the night, it imprinted itself into her very mind.
"So we're gonna be like the A team?" Damon asked the group which contained Klaus, Rebekah and Elena.
"Damon," Elena said, her voice shaking, "For once, just shut up."
"I agree," Rebekah smiled.
"Children," Klaus said raising his eyebrows, "Don't fight. We can do that later."
"What's the plan?" Elena questioned, keeping her distance from the sibling's.
"Rebekah, contact our idiotic brother," Klaus said, throwing her mobile phone in her direction, "Pretend you want to join him in-" He tried not to falter but Damon noticed and raised his eyebrows at Elena, making a vomit sound-"Torturing Caroline-"
"And Stefan," Elena interjected.
Rebekah rolled her eyes and punched Kol's number into her phone, "I don't understand the obsession over those two vampires, they're both so dull."
The room fell silent as the phone rang, Rebekah placed it in the middle of the table and they all subconsciously leaned towards it when Kol finally answered.
"Baby sis!" He exclaimed joyfully and Klaus clutched at the chair tighter, his rage consuming him, "Did Klaus realise I have his pets yet?"
"No," Rebekah giggled, rolling her eyes at the other's in the room when they stared at her in shock, "He's preoccupied with the doppelganger, brother let me help you, it'll be fun. When was the last time we ever did at activity just us two?"
"You hate them both that much?" Kol asked suspiciously.
"Of course! Caroline's stealing Nik's attention, it's not fair, let me inflict some pain."
"Very well Beck's, I'm in a motel 3 miles from our house, it's quite sleazy. I like it. I might move here permanently."
"It's a motel Kol."
"I'll compel the owner, now hurry up, I'm getting bored, there is only so many times you can make Caroline Forbes do this..." Caroline's shriek pierced the silence, they heard her begging him to stop, Rebekah even recoiled as she heard a stake enter Caroline slowly.
"STOP IT!" Stefan's voice entered the mix and Kol roared with laughter, the squelching sound of a second stake and a following scream made Elena chock back a sob.
The chair Klaus was clutching snapped beneath his fingers, crumbling into dust, he ran to the door, as fast as he had ever moved in his life but Rebekah stopped him, Caroline's screams echoed around them, pounding in Klaus's head.
"He's our brother Nik," Rebekah whispered clutching at Klaus's arm desperately and he relaxed briefly, soothing her hair and she smiled sweetly, glad to have gotten through to him, but then everything shattered with Kol's next words.
"And guess what Beck's?" Kol whispered excitedly, "I've told Baby vampire Klaus ordered me to do it. Oh the drama will be … delicious."
The door banged shut after Klaus and Rebekah turned to Damon and Elena in exasperation.
"Your sick," Stefan gasped, watching Caroline's blood seep out of multiple wounds from her body, stakes were lodged in a perfect line down her torso, narrowly avoiding her heart.
Her head rested on her shoulder and her mother was watching from afar, making no effort to help her daughter, despite Kol's release of her.
"I know," Kol said, "It's fun isn't it?"
Suddenly the door flew from its hinges revealing an enraged Klaus, he barely glanced at his brother who muttered, "Shit," under his breath repeatedly as he tried to run but his escape was blocked by Damon who raised his eyebrows before punching him in the face.
Elena skirted past him and ran to Stefan, throwing herself on him, hugging him tight to her, whispering words in his ear, and he breathed a sigh of relief into her hair.
Rebekah finally entered, watching the scene unfold before her, Elena comforting Stefan as Damon threatened Kol but watched the two enviously and her favourite brother kneeling over a bloody figure.
"I'm sorry," Klaus whispered, grabbing a stake and wrenching it from Caroline's chest, she gasped in pain and gripped his shoulders, her nails breaking into his skin as he removed another.
"Why?" She whispered, "I never thought you truly hated me," Her tears slid freely down her face, combining with her blood and he wiped them away quickly, his thumb tracing lightly over her cheek.
"I didn't," He said shaking his head but when he looked at her again she was unconscious.
He removed all the stakes quickly then, gathering them all in his arms before turning round to face Kol who held his hand's up in mock surrender.
"Listen Nik," He tried to sound cheerful but there was a hint of worry in his tone, "It was a joke. Ok, maybe it went too far."
Klaus said nothing as he pushed Damon aside, making the vampire fly to the opposite side of the room where he landed with a crash, both Stefan and Elena immediately ran after him.
He towered over Kol and very quickly plunged one of the stakes which had been in Caroline into his shoulder, then another, and another, blood spurted from Kol's mouth and he staggered to the floor, gripping the floorboards earnestly as Klaus continued to put every single stake relentlessly in his back.
Rebekah started screaming from the corner, her face a mask of concern but Klaus silenced her with a deadly look and she instead began to whimper. Klaus watched his brother scream in pain and relished in it, he hardly noticed Elena help Caroline's mother to her feet.
"We'll get her to hospital," Elena said motioning her head towards Caroline with her next words, "Tell her. She doesn't need to worry about it."
"Worry about it?" Klaus mimicked astonished, "You're not taking her with you?"
"Of course not," Damon sneered, "She's your responsibility now."
Klaus's eyes searched Elena's but the girl avoided eye contact and nodded stiffly leaving with the brothers and Caroline's mother, Klaus let out an aggravated breath when Damon poked his head round the door, "Don't act angry Klaus, you get to play nurse. A new role play for your bed time games I believe."
Klaus threw a dagger at Damon who wiggled his eyebrows suggestively before running after the rest of his gang.
"Get Kol out of here," Klaus snarled, kicking his brother towards Rebekah who didn't need to be told twice, they had vanished within mere seconds.
"Caroline," Klaus said gently kneeling next to her, gently stroking her hair away from her face and cupping her chin as her eye's fluttered open, "I'm so sorry."
She tried to get out of his grasp but she was too weak and simply rolled her eyes, "Don't like me bleeding as much as you thought you would?" She choked, the blood still pouring from her mouth.
"I never ordered that," He said, "Do you think that low of me?"
Caroline smiled sarcastically, "That question again? The answer will always be the same."
Klaus chuckled and placed his arms underneath her, lifting her from the ground and cradling her in his arms, he held her tighter then necessary and stared at her face, coated in blood and tears but still the essence of perfection.
"If I was that bad I wouldn't be giving you a choice right now," He said simply watching her eyes widen, "Your mother will be in hospital for weeks, you will be alone in your house, trying to heal from this, but the alternative is me, my house, I'll protect you, I'll heal you."
Caroline noted the sincerity in his words and was shocked, she actually saw humanity, and it was directed at her, but how long would it last? She sobbed when Elena and Damon's previous words echoed around her.
She was truly unwanted, not needed or loved by anyone, apart from Klaus.
"Fat chance of that happening, you better not feed me your blood, I am not turning into a blonde were-vamp, or vamp-wolf, whatever it is, I'm not doing it."
"I never asked," Klaus said amused but then Caroline's head rolled back and he stared down at her body, covered in scars which would take minutes to heal.
"I'm not sleeping in your room," She said quietly.
Klaus smiled, "So it's my house? Very well, my room is very spacious-"
"Ok on second thought's I'll have your room, you can have a couch or something."
Klaus laughed but it died quickly when he felt her hands lace around his neck.
"Heal me."
