"I'm so glad you were able to make it," Klaus says, his grin widening. Letting out a silent gulp, I grab Caroline's wrist and block her with my body. A shiver runs through me as Klaus takes a step forwards. Klaus reminded me of the first time I met Damon; unstable and dangerous.
"You told me if I came, you would let Caroline go," I remind him while backing up. I could hear Caroline whimpering behind me. He gives me an amused look.
"Did I now?"
"You two know each other?" Caroline says with a disgusted tone in her voice. With a small tug, Caroline managed to free her wrist from my hold. It was only now did I realize what might be going on through her head.
"Oh yes dear, we do! In fact, we've known each other for a small while now, haven't we?" Klaus chirps while turning to look at me.
"Why are you doing this?" I ask. I look behind me to see Caroline has scuttled herself over to the other side of the room.
"Don't worry love, we'll get to that topic soon," Klaus says. My heart was hammering in my chest as if it were about to explode. How could this man be related to Damon?
"And where exactly do you think you're going?" Klaus asks. It was only then did I realize Caroline was trying to escape. She doesn't even make it past the door as Klaus suddenly appeared in front of her. Before she could make a sound, with a small slap, he sends her flying to the ground.
"Stop!" I scream while rushing to her aid. I check to see if Caroline was injured, but it looked as if she was fine.
"Caroline, you do realize it is because of Elena that you are in this situation?" Klaus asks. Caroline gives him a confused look.
"What do you mean?" she asks.
"Stop this Klaus! You had your fun! I came like you asked, now let Caroline go," I plead while standing up. Klaus lets out a small sigh.
"Ahh yes, I did give you my word didn't I? I always keep my word," Klaus says while grabbing Caroline's hand and hoisting her up.
"Let go of her!" I scream while rushing towards them, but Klaus gives me a small shove that sends me flying to the ground. I hit the floor with a loud thud. My eyesight goes white and blurry for a moment before returning back to normal. There was a faint hum inside my ears.
"You're going to take Elena's car and drive home. You won't remember anything about tonight except for the fact that you got wasted; do you understand?" Klaus asks Caroline. It was only then did I realize what he was doing. He was using that compulsion thing that Damon had done to me the first day I met him.
I watch silently as Caroline nods her head. If Caroline was taking my car, that meant I wouldn't be able to get home … which is exactly what Klaus wants.
"Good girl," Klaus says while giving her a small pat on the shoulders. I watch as Caroline leaves the room. Well at least she wasn't going to be hurt. The moment Caroline is out of sight is the moment when the world seemed to have stopped spinning. Taking in a deep breath, I slowly meet my eyes with Klaus's.
"Now, where were we?"
I let out a loud gasp as Klaus suddenly appears in front of me. There were no words to even begin how to explain how terrified I was. But I couldn't let Klaus see it; I wouldn't give him any satisfaction. I have to bite my bottom lip to keep it from trembling as Klaus crouches down to my level.
"If you're going to kill me, then why don't you just get it over with," I snap.
"I can't see what Damon see's in you," Klaus says while leaning his face closer towards mine. He smelt like a mixture of alcohol and mud. I continue to glare at him; I wouldn't let him know how afraid of him I really was. His face was way too close to mine.
"You're not really his type. If anything, you would be more my type," Klaus says while raising an eyebrow. Giving him a disgusted look, I spit on his face. I didn't really think before doing it, I just did. And once I did, I knew I would regret it.
I watch in horror as Klaus takes his sleeve and wipes the saliva off of his face. I could already tell by the look on his face that I was in some deep shit. I try to escape, but his hand grabs my arm, keeping me from moving. My breaths were coming out in loud gasps. What have I done?
"It looks as if I need to teach you some manners," Klaus snaps through his teeth. I let out a small cry as Klaus roughly hoists me up into the air. He holds my wrists in a bone crushing grip. I had pins and needles in my hands from the lack of circulation.
"I'm sorry," I gasp as he pushes me against the wall. I try to catch my breath as Klaus keeps me pinned. His eyes trail up and down my body, almost as if he were undressing me with his eyes.
"No you're not! But you will be," Klaus threatens. A flicker of amusement dances through his eyes.
"Why are you doing this to me? What have I done to you?" I plead for an answer.
"Why you haven't done anything love!"
"I don't understand?" I cry.
"It's not what you did, it's about what Damon did," Klaus says, a small hint of hurt in his voice. It was only then did his eyes seem to soften; but only for a split second.
"What did Damon do?" I ask in a choked whisper. Even though Klaus had me pinned to a wall in a bone crushing grip, I still was curious to know what Damon had done. What could he have done that was so horrible? Obviously Klaus wanted revenge, but why?
"Long story, not time to tell," Klaus chirps while pushing his body closer to mine. I try to slip my hands out of his hold, but it wasn't doing me any good.
This was completely different from when Damon had violated my space. Damon was more of a tease, and he didn't push me. And most of all, Damon was always gentle. Klaus was the exact opposite!
"Get off me!" I scream while struggling against his hold. He didn't budge at all.
"Oh come on, we may as well have some fun! It's not like you're going anywhere any time soon," Klaus purrs in my ear. I do my best to kick and scream, but he didn't shift.
He didn't try to kiss me, but I feel as if I was being violated in every physical way possible. It was now that I wished Damon would show. Now that Caroline should be in safety, I needed Damon. But of course I didn't want to risk putting him in any danger.
"How's Stefan doing these days?" Klaus asks with a cocky grin on his face. I give him a confused stare. Why was he talking about Stefan?
"What do you mean?" I ask. He gives me a funny look, almost as if he were telling me a private joke.
"Why I haven't seen him since the day he was … attacked."
"I don't understand?"
"Have you not wondered why sweet, innocent Stefan; who wouldn't hurt a fly, suddenly has a change of heart?" Klaus asks his grin widening. It takes me a few moments to process this through my head.
"You compelled him to hurt me?" I ask.
"Ding, Ding, Ding!" Klaus exclaims. A rush of fury runs through me. The whole time Stefan was acting like an asshole was because of Klaus? Meaning this whole time I've hated Stefan, and it wasn't his fault. And now him and Caroline; oh poor Caroline who loved this man so much, are now over because of Klaus?
"You Bastard!" I scream while kicking and fighting against him. Of course it didn't get me anywhere.
"Come on now! No need to make a scene!"
"Why? Why did you compel Stefan?" I ask, giving up on try to fight my way out of his hold.
"Because I needed a distraction; I didn't want Damon knowing I was in town just yet. Of course my plan didn't work out as I had hoped, but oh well," Klaus says while shrugging his shoulders.
"How is hurting me going to hurt Damon? He doesn't care about me!" I try to fib my way out. It was only then did Klaus release my wrists. I let out a quiet cry as I examine my hands to see they were bluish purple color from lack of circulation. There were red marks on my wrists from where he held on to.
"You and I both know that that's a lie," Klaus says while backing up. Why is he backing up? Was he going to let me go? I watch him cautiously as he makes his way over to the door I came through. He shuts it and turns back to look at me. My eyes scan the room to see there was another door not too far away from me.
It was now or never.
Letting out a loud gasp, I begin to run towards the door. I'm actually surprised that I managed to get out the room. I had to at least try and get myself out of here. Though it seemed like a very slim chance.
My eyes scan the new hallway that I had entered. There were a bunch of doors leading into rooms, but those would only lead to dead ends. The building was still very dark, but my pupils have adjusted. I look behind me to see Klaus was nowhere in sight. Why wasn't he following me?
Wasting no time to find out, I begin to run towards the stairs. My heart is hammering in my chest and I feel dizzy from a lack of oxygen.
I'm about halfway up the stairs when I feel a rough hand wrap itself around my ankle. I let out a scream as I fall on the stairs, my cheek hitting the edge of one of them. A chocked sob escapes my mouth. I glance behind me to see Klaus trying to get a better hold on my ankle. Letting out a loud grunt, I kick my foot in his face and he immediately releases my ankle.
I scramble back onto my feet and continue my way up the stairs. Once I'm at the top, I start running to the left. I knew that I was going to have to find a place to hide. I wasn't going to be able to keep running.
"Elllleeeennnnnnnnnaaaa," I hear his voice call out. I have to bite my lip to keep from sobbing. I look around at a bunch of rooms, and enter a random one. I look around the room to see where I could possibly hide. There weren't many places to hide.
"Commmmmeeee out and playyyyyyy" I hear his voice getting closer. I let out a silent sob. Maybe if I hid under the –
My thoughts were interrupted when I feel someone grab a fist load of my hair. Before I could make a sound the person sends me flying across the table. Sharp objects dig into my back as I roll off the table and land on my hands and knees. My scalp burned from where he had grabbed it.
I look up to see Klaus slowly making his way over to me. I scramble myself backwards until I feel myself pushed up against the wall. Before I could move, Klaus is in front of me.
"You've been a very naughty girl," Klaus spits through his clenching teeth.
"I'm sorry," I gasp as he hoists me to my feet. I let out a loud cry as he pushes his body up against mine.
"Not as sorry as you will be," Klaus grunts. Within a split second, I feel something sharp rip into my throat. A scream escapes my throat as a response. It takes me a few seconds to realize it was Klaus. He was biting me.
I couldn't even begin to explain the pain in my neck. Almost as if someone had stuck needles into it. I could feel him draining the blood from my body.
I try to push him off me, but all it does is make my neck wound hurt more. The more I struggled, the deeper he bit into me. Evening screaming hurt!
This is it, I'm going to-
My thoughts were interrupted as Klaus goes flying across the room. The moment Klaus releases me, I fall to the floor. I hit the ground with a silent 'thump'. My hands immediately go to my wound. I could feel my blood drip down my neck.
I glance up to a man hovering over Klaus. It takes me a moment to realize it was Damon. Damon? How did Damon know I was here? But I don't put a lot of my attention to that. I'm too relieved.
"What part of leave town didn't you understand?" Damon growls before sending a punch towards Klaus's face. Klaus's head snaps back with the punch
"Oh come on brother, I was only just having some fun," Klaus says with a small chuckle.
"Fun? You call this fun?" Damon hisses in a disgusted tone while punching him again. In a quick, swift movement, Klaus sends Damon flying across the room. I can't help but to gasp in shock.
I watch in horror as Klaus stands up and slowly walks over to Damon. I had to help him; but how? My eyes scan around the room. What could I use to hurt Klaus? I jump as Klaus gives Damon a good hard punch across the face.
"Yes Damon, this is what I call fun!" Klaus huffs while throwing another punch at Damon. I look up at the table to see a rusty old scalpel. Oh God, there were no words to describe how much I hated those tools. But it was the sharpest thing in sight.
I grab the small scalpel and slowly creep behind Klaus. Klaus seemed to preoccupied talking and punching Damon to notice me. My heart seemed to beat louder with every step I take. I raise the scalpel, ready to stab Klaus with it, but he whips around and grabs my wrist before I could continue.
I let out a loud cry as he pry's my fingers off the instrument and sends me flying to the ground. I land on my side, and a shock fly's up my arms as I hit my funny bone. I look up to see Klaus making his way towards me. Shit!
"What do we have here?" Klaus asks while twirling the scalpel in his hands. I look over to Damon, only to realize that he wasn't there anymore. I look around the room to see he was nowhere in sight. He … left? No, he couldn't have! But he wasn't here anymore.
I feel almost as if something has been ripped out of my stomach. As if a part of me is gone. He actually left me here. He was going to let Klaus kill me.
"You know Elena," Klaus says while kneeling down over me, "these tools are very sharp." I don't say anything and I don't try to escape. There was no way I would be able to survive against him.
"Sharp enough to cut through skin," Klaus hisses into my ear while placing the scalpel up against my neck. My body was trembling with fear. I bite down on my tongue to keep from crying. I would not cry in front of this monster.
"I wonder how much you would bleed, if I cut you right here," Klaus teases with drawing a small line across my throat with the scalpel. He didn't press hard enough to cut, just hard enough so I knew how sharp it was.
"Too bad you'll never know," I hear a familiar voice hiss. Klaus jerks around, just as something pierces through his chest. I can't help but to give a small scream. It takes me a moment to realize that the object sticking through Klaus's chest was a piece of wood. Almost like a stake.
I scurry backwards as Klaus falls to the floor. I watch as his skin turns a bluish, grey color. Dark purple veins appear on his body as he hits the floor.
Klaus was dead.
Sorry that this chapter took a while to get out (it was a bit longer than most).
WOW, thank you so much for all your support with the reviews! They really get me pumped to get out the next chapters!
My next chapter will probably be the last. I tried to make Klaus really creepy in this chapter, I don't know if I succeeded? Haha, I seriously need to stop watching torture movies. The other day I was watching hostel haha, I think I may be a bit screwed in the head!
Anywhoos, was this chapter good? I hope so, it was super fun to write! Tell me what you think; was it not creepy enough, too creepy or just the right amount?
