Caroline sat on the unfamiliar bed, with the pink and white fabric layering it. Obviously Klaus had convinced himself that pink was Caroline's color.
Her gums hurt like hell. She hadn't had a blood bag in days, and she knew she was eventually going to go off edge. She grinded her teeth constantly, as if it would numb the pain in her gums.
Caroline's hands were layered with blisters that seemed to be healing very slowly, probably because she kept sticking her hand out the window to see if anything had changed.
A knock was heard at her door, and she quickly barricaded it. Just because she was kidnapped by some lunatic did not mean she had to talk to him.
"Do you really assume that a dresser will keep me out, Caroline?" Klaus's amused voice rang through the door, "And no, your tiny body won't keep me out either."
Caroline flushed, her back against the door as she stood on top of a dresser, "Go away!" She moaned through the pain in her gums.
"I know that tone. Is someone hungering some blood? Don't be ashamed Caroline, it's in our nature to kill." Klaus smirked.
"Go away." Caroline moaned once more.
"So you don't want this blood bag then? O negative, just like you like it.." She could hear Klaus waving the blood bag around, and her instincts wanted to jump through the door and rip it out of his hand.
But that would involve looking at him, and she wasn't sure if she could stomach that.
She hastily pushed the dresser out of the way and opened the door, to see Klaus leaning across the wall from her door.
"Enjoying your stay?" He asked, tossing the blood bag to her.
"Bye." Caroline said, shutting the door - almost, but his foot got stuck in the way.
"Nice try, love." Klaus shoved the door open and she was forced to take a few steps back, "Why don't we talk? We are going to be living with each other for quite a while."
Caroline sat on her bed, opening the bag of blood, "Then go ahead and talk. You must love hearing yourself talk."
"I've heard myself talk for years without Rebekah. Why don't you talk instead?" Klaus asked.
"Because, I don't feel the need to delve into my life story with a psychotic kidnapper." Caroline began to drink some of the blood, and the pain in her gums seemed to disappear immediately.
Klaus walked into the room, seating himself on the edge of the bed, and Caroline moved to the other side of the bed, as far from him as possible.
"There's that attitude again." Klaus looked at her questionly, "Tell me about you and Tyler."
"No." Caroline looked away from him.
"That wasn't a question, Caroline." Klaus glared at her.
"We broke up a weeks after he was sired to you." Caroline glared at him through a curtain of her hair, "Anymore stupid questions I need to be worried about?"
Suddenly Caroline was being held against her bed frame, Klaus's hands on her shoulders.
"What did I say about that attitude?" Klaus growled, his face suddenly close to hers.
If her heart was beating, it would have fell out of her chest.
"Do you know how easy it would be to rip your heart out right now?" Klaus snarled, their noses almost touching, his cold blank eyes searching hers. They almost seemed.. hungry.
He smelled like expensive cologne and the forest, and Caroline couldn't help but let a shiver run through her body at their sudden closeness.
Caroline opened her mouth to say something, but he cut her off.
"Too easy." Klaus answered his question, "I'd recommend that you be a bit more discreet also."
"What are you talking about?" Caroline squeaked, trying to keep herself from moving forward.
"Calling Damon on my phone wasn't the best idea, love." Klaus raised a eyebrow at her, as if to say: checkmate.
Caroline suddenly felt incredibly uncomfortable under his hungry eyes, so a wild idea crossed her mind. It was so wild, she didn't have time to even consider it, because her body had already decided on the decision before she could blink.
She lunged forward, knocking him off of her and onto the floor, yet he pulled her down with him. Suddenly, Caroline was in a, curious, position.
Klaus was on top of her, restraining her hands above her head.
"Very gutsy for a baby vampire." Klaus commented, "But you dare take on a Original, dear, if I didn't have any patience, you would be dead right now."
"Get off of me!" She said through clenched teeth, "And while you're at it, how about you give me a map on how to get the hell out of here?"
"With time you'll be out of here, dead or alive, and I'll have my revenge on Stefan. Just patience, love." Klaus pulled himself off of Caroline and she quickly stood up.
"I can't stand this arrangement, I mean it. I can't see anyone but you and it's driving me absolutely insane." Caroline ran a hand through her blonde hair, pacing.
Klaus seemed amused by her honesty, "That won't get you anywhere, love. Do you really think I care for your human needs?"
Caroline let out a angry growl, "Do you really think I care if you find Stefan or not? I hope that he keeps your family members forever. Then you'll finally understand how it feels to be alone." She shouted.
"I know the feeling of loneliness all too well already, Caroline." Klaus took steps across the room towards her, "After you broke up with my hybrid, everyone seemed to focused on Elena to care about you. Perhaps you're not accepting the idea of loneliness."
"You don't know anything." Caroline stubbornly said, "I don't care if you're a billion years old, don't act like you know me."
"You really need to readjust your perception of time, Caroline." Klaus said, "In the contrary, I believe I know you to well, me and you, were alike."
Caroline raised a eyebrow at him, "I'm not a psycho that goes around and kills people! I'm not some power hungry beast. We are nothing alike."
Klaus was suddenly standing right in front of her, "Caroline." He said her name quietly.
She looked up at him, "What?"
Then, he was gone, like a whisper of air that made her feel breathless. The door was even shut.
Caroline took a quick shower after that and retreated to bed, dreading waking up in the morning.
"Caroline." She heard someone whisper, she cracked open her eyes to see Elena Gilbert standing in the doorway.
Caroline rubbed her eyes to ensure this wasn't another one of her dreams, "Elena?" She rasped.
Elena's eyes seemed to fall out of her head with how wide they became, "Sorry for waking you up. But it is morning.." Elena walked over to Caroline's bed.
"Where am I?" Caroline stood up in her bed quickly, but she was still in the unfamiliar pink room, "I'm not home." She whispered to herself.
"No." Elena gave her a sad smile and put her hand over Caroline's, "Klaus let me come see you. He won't let Damon or Bonnie see you though, because.."
"They could get me out." Caroline said, her voice dry.
Elena nodded, "Times like these, I'm happy to be human. Anyways, how are you holding up?"
"I'm not holding up, Elena. I'm falling apart at the seams, ripping my hair out. It's dreadful here, paired with death threats every time I turn or speak." Caroline swallowed hard, "I've been trying to get out so much, that sometimes blisters won't even go away for at least a hour or two."
"Klaus left to ensure that Bonnie and Damon weren't in a miles radius of this place." Elena dragged her eyes around the room.
A smile crossed Caroline's face, "So Klaus isn't here?"
"Nope." Elena nodded.
"Time to look for a escape route then." Caroline grinned and hopped off her bed with Elena on her heels.
Caroline was digging through the kitchen while Elena looked in other parts of the house for anything, Elena could get through the door easily, yet Caroline had troubles. They even tried wrapping a black cloak around her, to no avail.
"We're never going to find anything!" Caroline shouted, kicking the staircase.
Then, in the staircase, revealed a door, clearly hidden away as Caroline had to pick at the paint and jar the door open.
"Jackpot." Elena sang under her breath, opening the door and stepping in.
"It's a tunnel." Caroline observed.
"We don't know where it ends though. I would text Damon right now, but he's with Klaus, and we can't risk letting Klaus know that we know about this." Elena nodded towards the tunnel.
"Lets try it." Caroline eagerly said, "If this is my way out, we have to try it."
Elena nodded, "Okay, Damon probably would freak if he knew we were trying this..."
Caroline rolled her eyes and quickly went to the kitchen to retrieve a flash light she found in one of the cabinets, pairing it with a extra set of batteries, "Let's go."
Elena quietly shut the door behind them and they were advancing down the tunnel.
The walls were dirt as Caroline ran her hand along them, they almost looked as if they were about to collapse on her and Elena.
"You know, if you do get out, Klaus is going to hunt you down." Elena grimaced as a branch hanging out of the wall hit her.
"I know. I'll probably just go to Bonnie's in that case, I don't see the problem with living with a badass witch." Caroline grinned to herself, seeing the possibilities unraveling before her.
Elena waved the flashlight around the tunnel, "Well, whenever you step out of the house you risk having your heart ripped out. That's a problem."
Caroline just hushed Elena, "And I'll deal with it when that problem comes along."
Elena's phone suddenly dinged, "Shit. It's Damon, Klaus is coming back now, we have to go back."
"Go back?" Caroline nearly fainted in fear, "Go back? Elena, we came so far-"
"We don't know how much of this tunnel is left Caroline, we need to go back." Elena started running to the beginning of the tunnel, with a reluctant Caroline on her heels.
So close.
