I decided to do a chapter that was in first person just because it's easier sorry if there are any mistakes with that. Thanks to everyone who reviewed or is following the story! It's really nice to have the support.

disclaimer: I own nothing but the plot

I woke up with a throbbing pain in my head and neck. I groaned and rolled over noticing for the first time that I was lying on a really soft bed. My eyes slowly fluttered open and took in the white four-poster bed.

I moved her hands against the light blue bed spread, noticing the intricate brown flowers that were interspersed with famous sayings.I sat up in order to fully take in where I was. As I did so I was shaken around so she was on a train or this house was located on a very angry fault line.

The walls of my cabin were painted a dark turquoise, I reluctantly admitted to myself that I really did like the color. I glanced about the room doing a quick once over and found that above my bed was a familiar saying(the same one I had written on my bedroom wall). I admired it for a second, it had been directly copied from her room and showed no difference.I also saw that her cell phone was still in my pocket and I quickly took it out and check me messages. Tyler had been trying to call and text me for hours.

"Shit!" I exclaimed, hoping against hope that Klaus hadn't checked my phone.

"Now, is that anyway for a young lady to speak?" I didn't even bother turning around. I knew all too well whose voice was mocking me, and let's just say I was in the mood to see the big bad hybrid."Love, look at me."

I snorted, "Not likely."

Suddenly my face was being lifted and I was staring in to the cold calculating glare that were the monster's eyes.

"Ms. Forbes," hearing him refer to me by my last name made a shiver run down my spine, "it would do you well to show a little respect. After all, you are my prisoner."

I looked at Klaus's smug face and the more I looked, the angrier I got. Since he was still waiting for an answer, I smiled politely then spit in his eye.

"Love, I do no recommend doing that again," there was a warning in his voice as he spoke.

"Whatever you say Nicky, just let go of me." Klaus's eyes turned yellow when I called him 'Nicky'

"Fine." He withdrew his hands from my face and I grinned.

"So, Niklaus, I figure that now it's time for you to answer my questions.

"Yes, I suppose that it is, but I'm not sure how many that I'm actually going to answer."

I shrugged already having known this. "Why do you suddenly need a bargaining chip?"

"Simple, your friends refuse to give me my mother and I will refuse to give them the baby of the family."

"Hey! I am not the baby of the family, if anyone's the baby it's Matt. I mean I love him like a brother, but come on! He has nothing but luck keeping him alive!" I threw up my hands in exasperation.

"Yes, but humans are very tedious to take care of."

"Sure, but wouldn't it have been better to take Bonnie or Elena?"

"The witch would've been able to escape and the doppelgänger... Well, either Salvatore wouldn't have put up with that, everyone else be damned."

"Yeah, that makes sense. Except, Stephan's done with Elena, he moved on." I smiled inwardly recalling the previous day.

Stephan had caught me out in the graveyard. I spent a lot of time there wondering what my funeral would've been like if I had died instead of becoming a vampire.

"Hey Caroline."

"Oh, hey Steph. What's up?"

"Nothing really, I just wanted to see you."

"In other words Damon was bugging you."

His reply was loaded with sarcasm. "How did you know?"

"It's a gift!" I proclaimed airily and he was letting out a low chuckle while I giggled.

"God, why can't I laugh like this with Elena? It's always so serious with her," he groaned.

"Do you think that she's the one?" I reached out to touch his arm.

"I'm starting to think that it's just the chase you know. That maybe, just maybe there's another girl out there, or right here." Stephan smiled at me and pulled me closer. His head dipped down to mine and his lips brushed against mine for a second.

Stephan had left a little later and I had called Tyler. He had told me to go with Stephan, that we could always go back to being friends. It was the better and safer option.

"Caroline."I was shaken from my thoughts by the ever annoying Klaus.

"What do you want?" I asked in my pissed off tone.

"I want to know what you meant just a second ago."

"Shit!" I said for the second time. "I can't believe I said that out loud. Steph's so going to kill me!" Then with a side glance I said, "If you don't kill me first."

"Not likely." He smirked using my own words against me.

"Fine, Stephan and I sort of kind of maybe have the tiniest relationship going on."

Klaus looked shocked and a little angry. "I thought you had something going on with one of my hybrids."

"I did, but with him being your minion and all, we both figured it was the better option to be with Stephan. He makes me happy enough. Damon's ecstatic and Elena was planning on choosing Damon anyways."

"Hmm. Then I must've chosen the perfect victim. Stephan will be frantic and Damon and the doppelgänger will be too involved in each other to care. The witch could be a problem though..." with that he got up and left the room, leaving me alone.
