'Stay the hell away from me.'

Those words caused his heart to shatter into a million tiny pieces, the shards ripping through, his anger and sadness being freely shown by the expression on his face.

Caroline's eyes lingered on Klaus' for a moment longer before she turned around and walked out of his mansion leaving the door wide open.

How dare he lay his hands on her? She thought he had cared for her. She wasn't using his emotions to get what she wanted- Tyler to be free. Well, yes, maybe she was, but did he not have a heart to understand how she was feeling?

'Caroline.' he snarled and vampire sped in front of her.

She merely walked around him and he followed her until she got to her car and fumbled with her keys in the door. Her hands shook and she couldn't seem to open the door. She could feel his eyes glaring into the back of her and she couldn't take it.

Whipping her head around ready to snap at him, she gasped as he sped in front of her, his hands on either side of her head, pushing her against the car with no escape.

Her eyes bore into Klaus' in fear and trepidation.

Klaus could see the fear showing ever so clearly in her eyes. She shook and he could literally smell the fear radiating from her. As much as he hated scaring her, he had to explain to her. He couldn't let her leave in a fit of rage and hatred, because he couldn't stand her hating him. He would let anyone hate him but her.

In a hoarse whisper she stuttered. 'P-please let me go...' and she averted her gaze.

'I can't.'

She put her hands on his chest trying to push him off gently.

As much as he was enjoying the intimacy of the whole situation and how her hands were on his body, he knew that now wasn't the time.

Caroline looked back into his eyes as she tried to push him off her.

'I want to go home! Let me go! She screamed batting her fists against his chest.

'I need you to listen to what I have to say and then I promise I'll let you go home.' he spoke hoarsely but firmly.

He leaned closer to her face and watched as a single tear ran down her cheek.

Klaus brushed the tear away with the back of his hand.

'Tell Tyler to get away from here. He's got three days before I don't want to see his face anywhere here otherwise I will kill him. Do you understand me?'

'Can I go now?'

'Yes. But at least understand this Caroline. It was for you. It was all for you.'

And with that, he stepped back and turned around,meal king back into the mansion slamming the door.

Caroline stood at her car door watching the mansion door, her eyes filled with nothing but hate.
