It was now noon and Caroline has yet to wake from the previous day, this baffled Klaus. He continued to allow her to sleep even though every ounce of him wanted to get some sort of reaction out of her. Silence seized to exist when Caroline was present and having it linger around her was eerie. Klaus quietly sat beside her, careful not to move her, and slowly pulled down the collar of her shirt, revealing an infected rash with white and green liquid oozing out of it.
"No, no. no..." He gasped; his blood hadn't healed her it made her worse.
He quickly slipped the rest of Caroline's clothing off and starred in horror. Her entire body was covered in infectious wounds and rashes that appeared to be eating away at her flesh. Against his own word, he began to shake Caroline's shoulders until she opened her eyes.
"Hi, Love." Klaus whispered, tucking a piece of blonde hair behind her ear.
Caroline's insides were on fire, every inch of her skin felt like it was melting right off. The pounding in her head drowned out Klaus's voice and the bloody images of his victims roamed behind him. Weary and petrified, she screamed.
"Drink, you have to drink." He begged as he cut open the vein in his wrist and placed it on her lips.
Caroline tried to do as he said, but his blood felt like acid in her mouth and she had no choice but to spit it back out. The distorted laughs from the dead echoed in her head and she frantically put her hands over her ears.
"Shut up!" She yelled. "Make them shut up!"
Klaus glanced around the room, but found no one. The agony she was in pained Klaus, he felt her clammy forehead and a dreadful anchor formed in his stomach, she was now hallucinating. The venom was in route and by the looks of it, Caroline didn't have much time. Before he could say another word, Caroline was already asleep. He gently pulled the covers up to her chest and made his way into the living room where he then retrieved his phone and put it to his ear.
"Bonnie, its Caroline…" He said.
"What's wrong?" Bonnie demanded. "Klaus, what's wrong? Hello?"
Klaus shattered the phone in his hand and watched as the pieces scattered the floor. Blood stains the hardwood and stabs away at his heart. He failed Caroline, He couldn't protect her. His promise was meaningless; the realization tore away at his core. Anger flooded his heart and revenge leaked from his pores, and at this exact moment only one face came to mind, Tyler Lockwood.
As Klaus approached the home, in which held Tyler and his wolf friends, Klaus anticipated the look that would cross Tyler's face when he barges in and slaughters every single person he's ever shown kindness too and once the feeling of defeat settles in Tyler's poor little chest, He will slowly rip his heart out. Klaus savored the thought before moving forward.
Klaus calmly knocked on the front door before a young wolf girl opened it.
"Can I help you?" She asked with a smile.
"In fact you can." Klaus grinned. "There's been an accident and I'd like to speak with Tyler Lockwood."
"Oh my god, of course come right in. I'll go get him." She said gesturing for him to follow, And with a satisfied smile, he did.
Klaus hesitantly wandered into the living area where four wolves were lounging. They weren't a pack and that alone weakened them.
"What the hell are you doing in my house?" Tyler cringed as Klaus turned to face him, a devious look plastered on his face.
"I'm assuming that you already know." Klaus answered.
"Hayley, it's a trap get out of here." Tyler abruptly told the wolf girl that was standing beside him.
Klaus moved faster than any human eye or wolf could capture and in less than a second he was holding Hayley in his arms, her terrified plead for help empowered him. The wolves quickly surrounded them and Tyler braced himself.
"You're going to allow your furry friends to die at the cost of a woman, how romantic of you." Klaus laughed.
"Let her go, Klaus. I'll do whatever you want, but only if you let her go." Tyler swore.
", But I just enjoy taking things from you, particularly certain females." Klaus winked as he tightened his grip around Hayley's neck.
"Go." Tyler told the four wolves, "This is between you and me." His eyes locking with Klaus's.
"Well it was, but you've been playing a bit unfairly and honestly I'm not to found about that." Klaus stated ripping one of the wolves heart out that stood only a foot behind him. "Involving witches in your revengeful plan is not only a rooky move, but a stupid one at that." Klaus breathed returning his grip back on Hayley's neck.
"I can't take it back." Tyler confessed.
"Take what back?" Klaus questioned.
"What I did to Caroline." He answered.
"And why is that." Klaus's anger was now reaching its peak.
", Because I killed the witch after she casted the spell." Tyler laughed before lunging towards Klaus.
In a millisecond Tyler was surrounded by four dead wolves and his hand gripped around Hayley's racing heart.
"You stupid, stupid boy. You thought you could defeat me?" Klaus yelled applying more pressure on Hayley's heart. "I am your worst nightmare, I am the reason for your suffering, I am the original hybrid, and you will obey me."
"Okay." Tyler choked raising his hands in defeat. "I can heal Caroline."
"How?" Klaus demanded through clenched teeth.
"Tyler don't…" Hayley gasped.
"You are aware he's using you, aren't you love?" Klaus wondered.
"My blood, only my blood can cure her." Tyler admitted.
"What's the catch?" Klaus asked his left eyebrow arched.
"There's no catch." He swore.
"Once again you believe you can win, your words sound rather honest, but your heart beat deceives you." Klaus explained before ripping Hayley's heart out of her chest. "Do you not see what I am capable of, Do you not understand the hell I can put you through whether you're alive or dead? The only useful thing my father ever taught me was to choose my battles wisely and though yours is a pile of ash and didn't teach you a damn thing, but illiteracy I'll grant you one more chance."
Tyler dropped to his knees and starred at the devastation lying before him.
"My blood will cure her, and her baby." Tyler wept.
"What did you say?" Klaus asked confusingly.
"Caroline is four months pregnant.." Tyler mumbled. "You're the original hybrid, you're capable of anything, I didn't believe it until the witch showed me herself." Tyler said now looking up at his enemy. "I saw what your baby was capable of and I understood why it needed to be eliminated, but because I am now a hybrid I felt a sense of loyalty towards it, and when the vision showed the witches murdering its tiny body, I flipped. I accidently killed the witch that casted the spell on Caroline."
Klaus ignored the throbbing ache in his heart and kneeled down in front of Tyler, their noses touching. "How does it feel to know that you were the one to murder an innocent baby based on a vision presented to you from a witch that has the ability to show you what she wanted you to see? Please remember the last time you and Caroline had a sexual encounter and then calculate how many months she and I have been together…" Klaus fumed. "Doesn't quiet add up, does it? So let me ask you this, how does it feel to know that you murder your own child?"
