Stolen
She woke up and already knew her surroundings were unfamiliar. Caroline tried to stand up, but was stopped by the handcuffs that bound her to the bed.
She was in a bedroom, alone.
She tried to replay the events from the previous night and couldn't remember anything after the beautiful stranger carried her over his shoulder.
Caroline began thrashing her body around in an attempt to escape, but she knew it was hopeless.
The door swung open as Caroline was attempting her escape.
She halted her movements when the man before her entered the room. "You'll hurt yourself if you keep doing that." He told her as he took a bit of his apple.
"Thank you for being so concerned for my well being." She narrowed her eyes. "Since you were so kind to bring me here." Her snarky comment rubbed Klaus the wrong way.
"Fine, hurt yourself." He said taking a seat at the end of the bed.
"What do you want with me?" She got straight to the point.
"I thought you might ask that." He tossed the apple from the bed straight into the garbage can. "I actually want a few things from you, Ms. Forbes." His lips curled up into a lopsided grin.
"First I need you to get your mother off of my back." His tone was now serious.
"I don't control my mother." Caroline rolled her eyes at him. "I'm twenty-two years old. She hardly listens to me."
"Well you better start making her listen, pretty girl." His deep voice was haunting.
"And what will you do if I don't listen?" She asked him.
"I kill you." He shrugged as if it was an everyday thing.
"You're not going –"
He moved from the end of the bed and quickly straddled her holding chin with his hand so she couldn't look away. "I tried getting your mother on my payroll. You better figure out how to keep her from snooping around my territory, Ms. Forbes. I swear to god I will kill you if you don't."
The tears started to form in her eyes.
"I don't do tears, so you might as well stop crying." He released her chin. "Now I want you to call your mother and tell her exactly where you are."
"How will that help –"
"Do what I say." He got off of her and stood next to the bed. "You're going to tell her that you're here with me."
"What will that –"
"If you would stop asking so many god damn questions I could answer you." His pinched the bridge of his nose with his thumb and forefinger.
"You are going to tell her that you've been seeing me for a few months and that you decided to move back."
"She will never buy that shit." Caroline hissed at him. "You are one big idiot –"
"You forget that you're the one handcuffed to the bed, love." He smirked at her. "And in the meantime you will stay here with me. I can't allow you out and about by yourself. I don't know where you'll go or who you'll talk to."
"This is kidnapping!" She screamed at him. "And abuse!"
"I will be back in a few hours so you can make the phone call, love. I wouldn't want you to call while you're this upset." He began to walk towards the door. "Besides, you've been missing since last night. You're family will start to look for you if you don't."
He slammed the door behind Caroline leaving her in her own thoughts.
What happened between her mother and this stranger that made him resort to kidnapping? Not to mention the fact that he jumped on her and straddled her with threats of ending her life?
This man was a lunatic and she wasn't soft spoken.
She knew she would be dead before tomorrow if she kept up with her snarky comments.
"What's going on?" The prospect sat down at a table next to Klaus. "I'm keeping her here. I need you and the rest of the prospects to make sure no one is looking for her yet."
"You think I could hit that pretty little thing?" Klaus' brother Kol emerged from a room in the back.
Klaus narrowed his eyes at her. "She's not a club whore. She's the sheriff's daughter and a valuable asset to the fate of our MC."
"So only you can hit it?" He asked confused.
"No one is hitting anything." Klaus told him. "I am keeping her around here so I can keep and eye on her. I'll try to keep her happy, but the girl is feisty."
"That's how I like them." Kol grinned. "Fiesty."
"That's why you will definitely stay away from her." Klaus pointed his finger at him. "I mean it, Kol. Keep it in your pants."
Klaus came back a few hours later to a sleeping Caroline. He placed a sandwich and glass of water on a table next to the bed.
His original plan to seduce her didn't start out like he had planned. He knew he had to take this slow because she was the type of girl who would run the first chance she got.
He just had to remind himself not to mix business with pleasure.
His attraction to her was obvious and he had to play it down.
He needed to seduce her, not fall in love with her otherwise his plan to take over Mystic Falls would never work.
Caroline opened her eyes and found the curious stranger staring at her. She stared right back not saying a word.
He was the first to break the silence.
"Are you ready to call you're the sheriff?" He asked tentatively. She could tell there was something different in his tone.
He stood about six feet back from her and she knew the second he spoke he wasn't the same man who was rude to her earlier.
Caroline wasn't an idiot. Something was definitely up.
"I need to call Katherine first." Caroline told him. "She was the one that I went to the bar with last night."
"Okay." Klaus said cautiously. "But no funny business, Forbes. I swear if you say anything other than 'I'm fine', I will do worse than kill you."
Caroline slowly nodded.
"My phone is in my back pocket." She told him. Klaus walked over towards the bed and slide in hand in the back of her jeans.
Caroline was obviously unable to reach it because she was handcuffed to the bed.
"Go under my contacts. She's under the name 'Kitten'." Klaus sensed the embarrassment in her voice.
He tried not to laugh.
"You have your friend under the name Kitten?" He asked clearly amused.
"Just dial the number." She glared at him.
He held the phone up to her ear and Katherine answered the phone on the third ring.
"CAROLINE!" Klaus could hear her voice through the phone. "Where the hell did you go? I saw you with a handsome blonde man and next thing I know you're gone!"
"I'm sorry." Caroline apologized.
At least her apology was sincere.
Caroline now regretted going out last night.
She wished she had stayed home. Caroline's over confidence in having a 'good time' left her handcuffed to a stranger's bed.
"I went home with him." Caroline blurted out.
"YOU WHAT?" Katherine screamed. "Tell me every single detail. NOW."
Caroline tried not to groan. She couldn't believe she had to do this. "Not now Katherine… I'm still here with him." She tried to sound convincing.
"Oh! Are you now? Well let's meet up for lunch this week and you can tell me all about it." Katherine offered.
Thank god.
"Sounds like a plan." Caroline said relieved. "I'll call you later this week okay?"
"Okay, bye Care-Bear!"
"Bye!"
Klaus hung up the phone and raised his eyebrow at her.
"I didn't know you had it in you." He said impressed.
"It's not everyday someone threatens to kill you." She pointed out. He could hear the irritation in her voice. "I'm sorry that I want to live. So yes, I try to be convincing."
He ignored her comment.
"Now your mother." He quickly moved on. "You better be more convincing than you were with Kitten."
"Just dial the number." She had to repeat for the second time. "It's under 'Mom'."
"No weird nickname?" He joked.
"No." She glared at him.
He dialed the number and her mom answered almost instantly.
"Hi baby girl!" Her mother's excited voice greeted Caroline warmly.
"Hi mom! How are you?"
"I'm fine! How are you? When are you going to come over for dinner?"
"Not this week mom." She tried to warm her mom up for what she was about to say next.
"Aren't you only staying here a week, darling?"
"I'm actually moving back." There she dropped hat.
"Really?" She knew this is what her mother wanted even though it was under the wrong circumstances. "Are you bringing Tyler with you?"
"I'- I've actually been seeing someone else."
"Since when?"
"For a while now," Caroline was quick to reply. "He's actually from around the area."
"I would love to meet him!"
"I want you to meet him too." She tried to sound excited, but she knew her mother wouldn't be able to tell the difference.
"How about dinner later on next? Sunday at six?"
"Sounds great mom."
"See you then sweetie! I have to go now my shift starts in about an hour! Have a good day."
"Bye mom."
Klaus hung up the phone and glared at her. She knew why. It was because she made plans to leave not once but twice.
"What did you want me to say?" She rolled her eyes at him.
"Not that." He crossed his arms trying to figure out how to make this work.
"You are the worst hostage I have ever had." He told her clearly frustrated.
"I sure hope so." She grinned. "Maybe you'll just let me go then."
He walked over towards the table where the sandwich and water were and placed it in front of her. He unlocked the handcuffs and she started to eat.
"Not a chance." He told her.
