Caroline Forbes had grown tired of waiting, she was tired of pacing her room as she heard Klaus rummage around and order his Hybrids around, quiet enough that she couldn't catch a word. She was tired of feeling so alone and waking up to another boring day. She missed her old life. She missed being able to roam Mystic Falls and hang out with Tyler, (or make out). She really missed her Mom and Bonnie. Elena hadn't visited in quite some time, and Caroline could feel her impatience growing.
The last thing Caroline Forbes was, was patient. She felt as if she was going to rip her hair out if she didn't find out where that tunnel led to.
"Darling?" Klaus poked his head into Caroline's room, apparently having picked up a new pet name for her.
"Do not call me that." Caroline growled at him, she had also became somewhat feisty during their time together. Go down fighting or go down silent, she liked the first option better.
"I need you downstairs." Klaus growled right back at her, obviously not wanting to argue with her or her attitude at the moment.
"Why do you need me downstairs? I was so used to these dreadful pink walls already." Caroline crossed her arms, "Give me one good reason why I should come down stairs with you."
"Listen here sweetheart, I don't need a reason. You're my hostage, not my guest. Do you not understand that I will kill you, if I don't get what I want?" Klaus threatened her, a dark look coming over his eyes as he stared at her.
Caroline swallowed hard and followed him downstairs, shooting pointed glares at him every few seconds. You may have won this time, but the next round is mine.
She thought quietly to herself.
When Caroline went downstairs, she found the room to be full of Hybrids, she made a move to run back upstairs but found a Hybrid already standing in her way. She bared her fangs and let out a loud hiss at him, he didn't even flinch.
"Now now, Caroline. That's no way to treat one of my Hybrids." Klaus said, in what he probably thought to be a threatening tone.
She turned to glare at him, but she kept her mouth clamped shut.
"There, now we're getting somewhere." Klaus grinned to himself, most likely believing this to be a accomplishment in the act of taming Caroline Forbes. Yet he had so much he needed to do, as Caroline was resisting to punch one of the Hybrids in the face and use another as a Hybrid shield.
"Listen up, Hybrids. This is Caroline Forbes, you may have heard of her - you probably have - because she hangs out with the Doppelganger, Salvatores, and the Witch." Klaus put his hands on Caroline's shoulders and she shrank away from him, "We are to make sure she doesn't leave this house."
"Dead or alive, sir?" One of the Hybrids chirped.
You'll be the first one I kill. Caroline growled in her mind.
"Either is fine with me." Klaus said, "But as for the moment, she must be alive unless the Doppelganger takes action in which she needs to die in order for me to get what I want."
Caroline swallowed hard, suddenly feeling smaller and much more defenseless in the room of Hybrids.
"I can see it, you know." One of the Hybrids shouted to Caroline, "That defiance in your eyes - can see it a mile away."
"Shut the fuck up, will you?" Caroline shouted at the Hybrid, her fangs popping out siding with a low hiss.
The Hybrid pushed his way through the crowd, he appeared to have tousled golden hair and dark piercing eyes, "Want to say that again blondie? I'm a Hybrid, I will rip you apart."
"I get constant death threats everyday, perhaps you should pick something more original." Caroline growled back.
Suddenly a hand was clamped around her neck, except the hand wasn't as tight as Klaus's had been, almost a little loose.
The Hybrid was hissing in her face, her blonde hair falling to frame her face. She quickly removed his hand and tossed him across the room, a furious growl arising out of her.
"Looks like we've got ourselves a fighter, boys." Klaus called to the Hybrids.
The Hybrid picked himself off of the floor, retreating to the crowd with the cackle and laughter of his peers.
"A baby vampire? You've ought to be kiddin' me!" She heard him mumble under his breath.
Klaus looked Caroline up and down, his eyes lingering a bit too long, and with a satisfied smile, he winked at her.
Caroline went back upstairs, yet she didn't go to her room. She shot a glance downstairs to hear the steady rhythm of Klaus's voice and his Hybrids responding, so she tip-toed her way to Klaus's bedroom. The room was in disarray, clothes scattered across the floor and a hole in the wall. As if he had been in a furious rampage. From the last time she's been in here, things had drastically changed.
The phone with the cord was ripped out of the wall and thrown against the opposing wall, ripping to pieces.
She picked up the phone regardless and heard nothing, with a frustrated growl, she set the phone back down and sat on his bed.
The bed was surprisingly comfortable and somewhat springy.
Where the fuck is the phone? Caroline cursed to herself, looking under the covers, the mattress, the bed itself.. she came short. She found absolutely nothing, even less than nothing. She went through his drawers, quickly slamming the dresser shut when she came across his boxers.
She noticed something wedged in the back of his dresser and quickly grabbed it. Only to find a photo album filled with pictures of him at moments in history, like the Civil War, the Great Depression, in that picture he was with Rebekah, covered in dirt and holding up a dollar bill.
He seemed so happy, he almost looked human, except for the tiny bit of a fang popping out in every picture.
He's a damn original, what would you expect?
"Having fun?" Klaus asked from the doorway, a amused glint in his eyes.
Caroline quickly snapped the book shut and rose up off of his bed, "Sorry. I was a bit bored."
"You were looking for this?" Klaus held up his cellphone between two fingers, "Love, you're rather predictable."
She bit her lip, looking away for him, "Who cares anymore anyways? Are you happy? You won."
"I won? I wasn't aware we were playing a game Caroline." Klaus arched a eyebrow at her.
Caroline threw her hands up in frustration, "This is so annoying. I hate this, just go get your stupid coffins - and when you do, I don't want you anywhere near me. You got that? If I ever see you after this, I'm going to kill you."
"Didn't your last chance of killing me already pass you by?" Klaus suddenly took steps towards her, "You must know, that I won't hesitate to kill you either, young vampire, so I recommend that you get on my good side rather quickly."
Caroline pushed past him, but he grabbed her wrist and pulled her close to him, pressing her against the wall with his body.
"Don't ever come in here again. Don't attack my Hybrids anymore, that was rather impressive what you did today, but don't even think about trying it again." Klaus hissed in her ear, causing goosebumps to layer her skin in crowds, her breathing now becoming labored.
"Let me go." She whispered back, clamping her eyes shut.
They both knew what she meant, she didn't just mean the position she had on the wall, but staying here. Living with Klaus was making her life miserable, and she was cracking under the pressure, she even managed to stumble out a broken plea.
Suddenly, he leaned forward, and Caroline had the wild thought that he was going to kiss her, but his lips just brushed against her cheek.
"Soon." His lips murmured against her cheek, then he was gone.
Really, the disappearing thing again? Caroline thought to herself, holding her burning red cheek.
She was taking a shower when she heard the door to her room open, in lightning speed, she had a robe wrapped around her and she was standing in her bedroom to see Klaus.
"Is there a reason you're interrupting my shower?" Caroline asked impatiently.
"You have a visitor, he demanded that he see you right this minute though, love." Klaus gestured blankly towards the door.
Caroline dragged her eyes over towards the door, to see Stefan Salvatore in the doorway.
Her mouth fell open, "Stefan?" She squeaked out.
"Hey Caroline." Stefan had a loose grin on his face.
Klaus glared between the two, "We made our deal Stefan, she can go back to Mystic Falls for the weekend but she comes back. Or I snap your brother's neck, understand? I know you will not disappoint me twice."
"I get to leave?" The words flopped out of Caroline's mouth before she could stop them.
Klaus was suddenly in front of her so quick that her hair waved in the rush he had made, "Listen here, baby vampire. Don't think for a damn minute that you're free. You only get the weekend, and I come and bring you back here, dead or alive."
Caroline kept her eyes locked with his, even though she could feel goosebumps rising on her skin.
"You're still mine." He growled against her ear, his arm suddenly tight around her waist, pressing her to him.
She let out a soft yelp of surprise, and she was being clenched tighter.
"You will come back to me." He hissed into her ear.
Her breathing was quick and shallow then, feeling a bit light headed, she was fairly certain Klaus's iron grip was the only thing keeping her upright.
If this was some creepy form of compulsion, Caroline didn't like it, not one bit.
Okay, maybe a tad bit.
