Thanks for the reviews and suggestions.

It is a very dark story I know. I kind of feel bad sometimes but the story is already completely outlined. The suicide thing has been suggested more than once. There are only three more chapters after this and while it will stay dark there is a light at the end of the tunnel…or not. :) One problem with Klaus is, if he is truly the most powerful creature on the planet, it's going to be hard to make him pay for anything. No one ever has been able to do succeed at this. The other problem is, he doesn't kill out of anger or rage. In fact, he refuses to kill when he's angry…enter the 'lack of control' thing. He is pretty much the definition of a psychopath. Caroline has her moments in this story and considering what she has been through…and the worst isn't over…she's incredibly strong. You will see him starting to loosen the reigns in Chapter 9 along with the horrible things he does. This is because he has to heighten the experience to stay obsessed, so the longer it goes on, the more it escalates but also the less he feels the need to control "everything". He's still obsessed with her, but its waning. Something will happen in Chapter 11 that will determine Caroline's fate.

Chapter 9

Empty spaces, what are we living for

Abandoned places, I guess we know the score

On and on, does anybody know what we are looking for

Another hero, another mindless crime

Behind the curtain, in the pantomime

-Queen, The Show Must Go On

Caroline

Caroline decided that being compliant was working. Little did she know how far she was from the truth. She decided to keep down the road of becoming the perfect slave. At least it was something. They had relocated her to the third floor, she was unsure if that was a good thing or not and Klaus had given permission for her to sit in the Conservatory. Sarah had brought her new dresses which were a little nicer than the one piece dresses she had been wearing. Maybe if she could get some more leeway, she could get to a phone or figure out a way to escape. The phone was probably the more logical choice in this case though.

The guest rooms were very different than the rooms on the second floor. Instead of just a chair there was a fireplace and seating area in the room. There was also a flat screen television and a much larger bathroom. She still had to be "escorted" everywhere though which made it impossible to discover anything that might help her.

Klaus had been gone for several days. She had been reading 'The Picture of Dorian Gray' and sketching a lot. During the day, she managed to finish cleaning all the jewelry. Some of the pieces were beautiful and all of them were real. She wondered why he had such a large collection of jewelry and where he had collected it all. It had to be worth millions. She did notice that the weapon room had cameras and was completely wired, even the windows. To her it seemed like overkill, it would be impossible to scale three stories AND make it past electric fences AND armed guards. Not to mention Klaus who was a whole other level of evil.

Sarah came that evening to bring dinner and tell her that Klaus would be returning the next day. Oh joy. Satan himself is alive. She went about eating her dinner and completely ignoring her. Caroline didn't care for Sarah. It was a mystery to her how someone could watch the things that happened here and just act like it doesn't happen. There was NO way she didn't know.

Caroline spent the rest of the evening finishing up 'Dorian Gray' and watching television. She felt somewhat more connected to the world now at least. Sleep claimed her about an hour later.

Klaus

When Klaus arrived home the following day, he knew immediately that they had moved Caroline. He could hear her moving about her room as he sat in his office. The staff updated him on things regarding the compound and he went about his work. It was dinner before he looked up and noticed the time. He called down to Sarah and left some instructions. Deciding to freshen up first, he went into his Master Bath and took a long hot shower. Opting for some linen lounge pants and a soft linen tunic, he slipped on his Birkenstocks and headed down the hall to collect his slave.

He pushed open the door to see her straightening the bed. "Good evening Caroline."

She managed a half smile "Good evening Master." She had on new dress, it was bright blue and matched her eyes perfectly and fit much better than the other shapeless dresses she had been wearing. He nodded in approval as his eyes swept over her frame. He took her by the elbow and showed her out the door. He led her through his office and down the other hallway and into his room. Caroline sucked her breath sharply at the beautiful woman sitting in the room. She had beautiful brown eyes and long dark hair. Her makeup was flawless and she sat properly as if attending a fine dinner party. Caroline looked back at Klaus who was holding his hand out towards the bed.

Her eyes fluttered and her breath was caught in her throat. Klaus walked her over to the edge of the bed, Caroline's eyes never left the woman sitting in the chair. Grabbing her wrists he stood in front of her and raised her arms out to the side as if he was inspecting her body. His eyes filled with lust as he reached down and grabbed the hem of her dress. He leaned into her closely; his lips brushing her neck. "Now be a good girl Caroline. Don't make me angry." Caroline pressed her eyelids down not even contemplating what was about to happen. He pulled the hem up over her stomach, she tried to push her dress down. Klaus met her with an angry stare and she dropped her hands down again. He finished removing her dress and she stood there shifting her knees. The blush was evident in her cheeks. He inhaled her scent, his eyes half closed; his fingertips trailing up the side of her body. Her nipples were erect and goose bumps blanketed her body. Leaning down he captured a nipple in his teeth and sucked it into his mouth. "Stay here love." He turned and opened the drawer and removed a black scarf. Turning back to her and grinning, he placed the scarf securely around her eyes. "Caroline lay down on the bed."

She sat down on the edge of the bed. Her body was vibrating from fear or humiliation, she couldn't decide. He was moving about the room, and she heard the clang of metal as he attached the wrist restraint to her and then to the bed. This time though, he attached restraints to her legs as well. She tried to let her knees fall together but the restraints were pulling her legs apart. He shifted on the bed between her legs. "Nadia love. Would you like to join us?" Caroline tried to yank her arms free; the chains just rattled against the wood. Before she could think she felt his hand on her throat and his body was pressed against her. "Caroline. STOP moving and be a good girl. Don't make me hurt you. Would you like to watch Caroline? Do you want to watch Nadia and I ravage you love?" His husky voice breathed into his ear; his rigid length ground against her thigh.

Caroline yanked her head to the side and let out a blood curdling yell to which he responded by slapping her hard across the face leaving a sting that radiated through head. "Nadia. How do you like our dear Caroline," he was somewhere over her.

"Oh she's delicious Nik." She heard the woman say in a thick European accent. She was coming closer to the bed.

Klaus backed off the bed. Caroline could hear him move the chair; at the same time, the bed moved and she felt soft hands massaging her leg.

Klaus took a seat in the chair as he watched Nadia climb on the bed massaging Caroline's thighs. She started rubbing her legs and then dragged her nails up the entire length of her left leg. Caroline visibly shivered against her touch. His hard on was almost painful; he reached down and rubbed his cock as he watched Nadia lay down between Caroline's legs. He could hear Caroline's breathing pick up; she was on the verge of hyperventilating. She was still pulling against the wrist restraints. Nadia held her legs in place. Nadia reached up with her hands and massaged Caroline's breasts pretty tenderly and then trailed her mouth up her stomach. Pressing herself flat against Caroline, she whispered how beautiful she was and started grinding her knee into Caroline's pussy. She was rubbing herself against Caroline's hip. Her dressed had inched its way up to her hips and he could see Nadia's dripping panties.

Klaus no longer interested in being a voyeur stood up and divested himself of his clothes. He came up behind Nadia, reached up her dress ripping her thong from her and buried himself inside her. Her moans enticing him to pump harder; he moved his hips at vampire speed into her dripping pussy. His eyes rolled back in his head. When he opened his eyes, Nadia was kissing Caroline and grinding against her. "Oh Nadia love. You are so fucking wet for me. Come for me Nadia." He barked as he pulled her head backwards to kiss him. "You're like a bitch in heat aren't you love? You love my cock pounding your pussy don't you?" She grunted and her body started to convulse against his as she met her release. She leaned up removed her dress which was up around her waist. Moving his hand to her throat, he was fucking her hard and deep from behind as he held her against his chest. His amber eyes all the while watching Caroline; her head was to the side and she had given up the futile attempts to get out of the cuffs. Good. He grunted pulling Nadia's body against his. He grabbed her around the waist and toppled her over to the side of Caroline and then yanked her leg so that one leg was draped over Caroline. He positioned himself at Caroline's opening and plunged his shaft as deep into her as he could. A loud growl escaped his lips as threw his weight down and let his tongue explore Nadia while he fucked Caroline.

It was pure bliss. He wanted to feed. He wanted to taste her fucking blood. Throwing Nadia's leg off Caroline, He smirked at Nadia. "Love enjoy." Viciously he sank his fangs into one side of Caroline's neck while Nadia sank her fangs into the other. He heard Caroline's heart beat slow down and ripped his dripping lips away from her, the dragged Nadia away as well; pulling her into a hungry kiss. Their faces were both smeared with Caroline's blood. He was still moving in and out of Caroline. She had lost consciousness at some point during their feeding. As he rammed himself into her, he brought his wrist to his mouth, tore open it open with his fangs and pressed it to Caroline's mouth. He heard her sputter and choke as his blood went down her throat. Nearing his end, he thrust one last time into her hot wet cunt; his thick cum spilling into her.

They enjoyed each other and Caroline for the rest of the night and early into the morning; taking turns feeding on her and then Klaus feeding her his blood and bringing her back to consciousness.

When Caroline awoke the next morning, she couldn't see and she was still attached to the bed. She started to struggle against the restraints and screaming, but no one came. After an hour, she gave up, realizing no one was there and no one was coming. Klaus had heard her struggle in his office, but he wasn't sure he was quite done with her yet.

It seemed like hours had passed. She really had to pee and her stomach was growling from the lack of food. When she heard the door open, her head shot up as far as she could manage and she listened for whoever it was.

"Good afternoon love. You look delicious lying here, I almost don't want to let you go." She could tell hear the lust in his voice. Her head fell back down to the pillow.

"Please..." she choked out. "I have to use the bathroom." In a heartbeat he was next to her on the bed caressing her skin and face with the back of his hand.

"What did you forget love?" His finger stopped at her mouth and he pushed it inside feeling her soft wet tongue. He laughed at her attempt to say "Mabper" with his finger still darting in and out of her mouth.

"Caroline you were such a good girl last night. Do you know how turned on I was watching you? I'm still turned on this morning." His hand drifted between her legs but then came back up to rest over her bladder. Then using two fingers he pressed down. Caroline yelped and turned her face away from him. Her bladder was in physical pain. "Please Master. Please." She cried out.

He stopped and let his hand wander back down to her pussy. He started rubbing her clit with his thumb. His cock was hard again and he decided he couldn't go the rest of the day without fucking her. He snatched his hand away, discarded his shoes and his pants and climbed on top of her. She felt dry but he didn't care. He rammed the entire length of cock into her repeatedly. "Fuck Caroline. You are so tight. I love fucking you and feeding from you. You are mine." He could feel the wave of release starting to wash over him. "TELL me you are mine Caroline" he growled in her ear.

"I'm yours Master." Her face turned away as he spent himself inside her. He rolled off her with a grunt and exhaled. Reaching up, he released the restraint above his head. Then pulling himself from the bed and putting his clothes back on, he released her legs and her other hand. He sat her up in the bed before taking the scarf from around her eyes. The light from the room flooded into her eyes forcing her to shut them tight immediately. When she finally started to let them flutter open, he was sitting there watching her with a self satisfied grin on his face. He threw his chin in the direction of a door. "The bathroom is there. I'll wait and take you back to your room."

She nodded and jumped off the bed. By 'wait' she assumed that he would wait in the bedroom, but he promptly got up and followed her into the bathroom. He stood there watching her, his body filling the door frame. She turned around and stared at him with indignation. Realizing that she had to go and she didn't have the energy to fight with him, she sat down to relieve herself. He watched her the entire time.

He returned her to her room and then walked back across the hall to his office. He wasn't sure if she knew he could hear her, but he spent the next hour listening to her curse him out. She didn't cry; she just talked to herself. When she got in the shower, it was a bit more difficult to hear her but she seemed to calm down by then. Getting back to his work, he wiped her out of his mind.

Caroline

She shuddered and put the previous night out of her mind. She wasn't sure why she was even surprised anymore. Every time she thought it couldn't get any worse, he found some new way to humiliate her. Freshly out of the shower, she noticed the tray of food on the table. Her stomach was barking at her lack of sustenance so she sat down and inhaled the food on the tray. Then she flipped on the television. Around 4pm the door handle jiggled and Klaus leaned in the open door frame. She straight up in the bed, he had never come in this early unless you counted this morning.

"Love…if you want to get out some of your aggression, you are free to use the gym."

"Really Master? I…I don't have workout clothes."

"I'll make sure you get some. It's better than listening to you curse at me all day. Since you are on this floor, you can walk without an escort. Just don't go in any of the rooms besides the gym. Most of the doors are locked while I'm away, but I'll have the guard unlock the gym during the day when there is staff here. Understood love?"

"Yes Master." He nodded and retreated from the doorway.

Within the hour, Sarah came in bearing workout clothes and shoes. It was exciting to Caroline to be able to walk by herself somewhere and she would be able to look for quick access to a phone. She threw on the gym clothes and took a deep breath and stepped into the hall. There was no one there. Cautiously she stepped forward; as if any minute, guards were going to jump out and grab her and drag her back to her room. When she rounded the corner, she faintly heard Klaus's voice on the phone talking to someone; the doors to his office were shut. There was a guard standing in front of the windows to his office overlooking the balcony, the windows were completely covered with curtains. Caroline regarded him nervously as she walked by him; figuring he would have already jumped her had he not received the information that she was allowed to go to the gym. She rounded the corner to the gym. There wasn't a ton of exercise equipment but there was enough. She jumped on the treadmill; getting winded after about 30 seconds. She definitely wasn't in the shape she used to be in. She looked around at the room and the weapons lining the walls. If only she could get a sword or a hatchet. They were all petty medieval looking though and probably weighed a ton.

Forty minutes later, she managed to run a little bit and was grateful for the exercise as she headed back to her room. She spent the remainder of the evening reading and listening to music. Klaus did not show that night and she was grateful for that as well. She was fast asleep by 10pm.

Unknown to Caroline, Klaus stood quietly in her doorway for a long while watching her sleep and considering her life. He knew it wouldn't be long. He was filled with indifference about it. He considered flipping a coin, live or die? He still didn't know. It seemed a waste for him to kill her. She was so fucking intoxicating. On the other hand, she was so fucking intoxicating. It was a double-edged sword. He shut the door quietly and headed down the hallway towards his bedchamber. He cut through the side door of his office and into the hall on the other side before shutting his door to his bed chamber behind him.

He spent hours finishing the painting he had started. He went to his office and collected the letters both from and to Caroline and placed them in a wooden box on the windowsill beside the painting. He leaned against the wall looking at the painting and downing a glass of whiskey still considering her. He didn't know what it was that determined if one person lived or one person died. It was pretty random actually. Sometimes it had happened during blood lust, although that wasn't preferred. He hated doing anything that wasn't completely purposeful. Caroline would not pass like that though, she would be gloriously decided. It was the strongest sensation in the world, holding someone's life in your hands; deciding whether to let them live or die. It was the ultimate power that one could hold in their hands.

Tomorrow he would run another errand for another game. He would watch her as she struggled; that was the beauty of human frailty. It was the ability to struggle so hard against circumstances and fight to win the battle, only to lose the war.
