Chapter 10
A/N: This is an AU story for the vampire diaries. I do not own the vampire dairies.
Caroline sighed walking inside the house. Elijah was sitting on the couch reading a book when he looked up. Klaus walked into the room turning to his brother.
"Well what have you got?" He asked. Caroline sat down on the couch.
"A nail, almost looks dog like. Perhaps a werewolf?" Klaus shook his head.
"No, Marcel said he got the werewolves out of the city." Klaus said sitting down on the couch next to Caroline. Elijah pulled the nail out of his pocket and handed it to him. Klaus looked at it curiously. Caroline looked at it and raised an eyebrow.
"Maybe it is just an animal after all."
"Well it looks like it has attacked again tonight." He said. Caroline shrugged.
"Perhaps I should talk to Sophie, perhaps she might know a thing or two about this." Elijah said. Caroline also stood and looked to Klaus.
"I'm going to bed." She said before walking away. Klaus gave her a look and she sighed. "I won't sneak out." She said before walking up the stairs. Klaus groaned and pinched the bridge of his nose. This girl was driving him crazy.
Caroline had taken off her costume and had put on a tank and some shorts. Caroline turned around and jumped. She sighed realizing it was Damon. But didn't know what he was doing here.
"Damon what are you doing here?" She asked. She was surprised that Klaus hadn't sensed him.
"Where is Silas?" He asked. She gave him a look and was confused. She didn't know what he was doing here.
"Last time I checked he was in Mystic Falls." She said. "Why?" Damon's eyes narrowed.
"Where is the cure?" He asked.
"Ah I don't know." She said. She began to walk to the bathroom door when he grabbed her arm. She whimpered. She had never realized how strong he was.
"Damon what the hell? Let go." She snapped and was shoved to the ground. When she looked back up he was gone and she couldn't help but look around the room for him. She stood and looked around before confirming that he was gone. There was a knock on her door, she turned to look for Damon but found Elijah standing in the doorway with his hands behind his back. She swallowed hard.
"Miss Forbes, is everything alright? I thought I had heard you talk to someone." He scanned the room but found no one.
"Oh I was just talking to a friend on my phone a little while ago. Nothing that big." He nodded.
"Well I am sorry to disturb you. Goodnight Miss Forbes." She nodded.
"Whatever," She walked to over to her bed a hopped in once he was gone. She sighed. Had she been hallucinating? She rubbed her head. She really had no idea what was going on but she didn't like it.
Klaus was in his room thinking about the murders. He had no idea what was going on. But clearly there was something else in the city now. The nail confused him because of Marcel's words. He had been thinking about this almost all night in between sleep. He was also thinking about Marcel's so called truce. If Marcel thought he would back down that easily his friend hadn't learned anything from him after all those years. His door opened and he turned to Caroline who walked right in without really permission. He raised an eyebrow as she sat down on his bed sighing.
"This is so boring can't we go do something fun?" She pouted. "Besides I thought the original hybrid would be more fun. Stefan had told me stories of you back in the twenties." She smiled. Klaus shook his head.
"That was a long time ago." He said.
"So the original hybrid isn't capable of having fun?" She said. "It's a shame Kol is gone. I am sure that he would have been more fun." Klaus's face hardened at the mention of his brother. It wasn't just because he would have been jealous of some things but it was an icy topic. He hated that the doppelganger had the nerve to kill his brother.
"That's enough love," He said. She raised an eyebrow.
"Touchy," She mused. "No offense but you did dagger him, I wouldn't have thought you would have cared." Klaus glared at her.
"Caroline," He warned gritting his teeth trying to control the anger that she was starting in him. She rolled her eyes.
"Whatever, just had always picture you as the more fun one." She smirked. Klaus sighed.
"Well love, right now I have too many responsibilities to be concerned about having fun." She smiled.
"Well we could have some fun," Klaus swallowed hard and was relieved when his phone rang. He answered it. "Sophie,"
"Klaus I think I might know what is doing this."
Klaus and Caroline walked into the Sophie's bar and found her by the table waiting. She was still examining the nail when Klaus and Caroline had sat down in front of her.
"Finally," She said.
"Tell me what's going on witch. I don't have all day." He said. He had been planning on helping Caroline by trying to get her humanity turned back on.
"Ok this nail belongs to a Barghest," Caroline raised an eyebrow.
"A what?" She asked.
"A barghest, it's a huge ferocious dog with large teeth and claws." Klaus explained. "I had always thought they had been extinct for centuries until now." Caroline turned to him.
"So you have seen one?" She asked. Klaus shrugged.
"I happened to have killed two or three at least seven centuries ago." Klaus said. "Haven't come across one or heard of one since."
"In legend who ever lays eyes on the dog will die no matter what." Sophie explained. "We first need to find it but such knowledge on how to kill one has been lost." She glanced at Klaus. Klaus sighed.
"Last I had checked a Barghest also has to be summoned by a witch." He said. Sophie looked at him.
"Are you assuming that it was me?" She asked in disbelief. "I really have no power right now." She confessed.
"Well than assuming it was another witch, there are two ways to kill the barghest. One by killing the witch as simple as that. Two by setting the dog on fire with salt to burn away the supernatural aspect of its life." Klaus said.
"That's how you killed them?" Sophie asked. Klaus shrugged.
"It depends on if it's an alpha or not. If they are not then you can kill them any other way. But the alpha happens to be much stronger and harder to kill." Klaus said.
"Well it shouldn't be hard for you." Caroline said sarcastically rolling her eyes.
"We still need to find it, witch do you think you can track it?" Sophie swallowed.
"This kind of magic requires the ancient arts. I have no experience in tracking something that is practically ancient and has been lost to time since believe to be extinct." Sophie said. Klaus was growing irritated he wanted to find this dog and kill it and find out what witch had summoned it.
Note: So there is another chapter. Tell me what you think? Fact: in folklore there is a creature called a Barghest and it is a big dog that only comes out at night to kill its prey. And it is said if you look into its eyes you will die. Reviews thanks.
