3) Liar Liar

This is a dark story. If you cannot cope with dark themes, DO NOT continue reading this. You have been warned. (Don't own TVD)

Bonnie spent the next two days answering her friends' questions. All of them had been truly devastated. But both of them were vampire so she didn't worry. But the person everyone seemed most worried about was Matt. He was only a human amongst them super naturals. He didn't stand a chance to survive this.

For the first day, everyone kept struggling to break the bars of the cellars locking them in. Damon and Tyler being the most active but then after failing multiple times, Damon was the only one left trying.

"This has to open. Dammit!" Damon spat pulling and pushing the bars of the cellar hoping to bend them or do something.

"They won't break Damon. I've been here with Tyler for his transformation" Caroline said from her cellar. "He couldn't even move them in his werewolf state" she added glancing towards her boyfriend who was sitting on the floor with his head in his hands and Matt trying to comfort him. It was funny how a human was more confident than a hybrid. But then again that human didn't un-sire Klaus' hybrids and plot to kill him. Multiple times.

She crouched down to his level and cupped his face in her hands, "Hey! Look at me we're going to get out of here. All of us" she said in her usual hopeful voice but somehow it lacked conviction because everyone knew they would only be getting out once Klaus and Rebekah would want them to and somehow they all doubted they would. At all.

"You will" Damon accused in frustration. "What about the rest of us?" he asked angrily looking towards his brother and trying to catch a glimpse of Elena. Stefan and Elena were the only people he cared about right now and if it came down to a choice to choose whom to save he'd take his brother and his girl.

Caroline whipped her face to look at Damon, who was across her in another cellar. "Excuse me? This is not my fault. We're all here because of you in the first place. If you hadn't gone off to kill Kol" she yelled back at him. It wasn't her fault. Tyler and she weren't even informed of the fact that they were going all ninja on another original and killing Kol. They only got to know afterwards and then they'd been sent to clean the mess but once they got there, nothing was present at the Gilbert house. No Klaus, no dead original corpse. That's when they both turned around to feel someone inject vervain in their necks. After that they had ended up here.

"GUYS!" Bonnie yelled yanking her chains, to no avail. They were in enough trouble as it is, they didn't need to fight against each other too. "We don't need to fight now. Let's just wait to see what's going to happen" she offered as solution. She knew it would only a temporary but it would have to do for now at least.

"Excellent idea witch" a voice came from the entrance of the cave. They all looked there and saw Rebekah walking in along with Klaus behind her trail.

Damon groaned and rolled his eyes like Caroline when Rebekah sweetly smiled at him. "What is this sexy Beks?" he asked sarcastically. He knew the answer too well but now he had to play tough because they had no witch and practically zero ancient powers to save their asses.

"This is revenge for my brother Kol's death. You killed two originals. Did you really think you wouldn't have to pay? I mean we forgave you for Finn because he was a bore and hated us but Kol was a blast and you lot just killed him" Rebekah said gritted her teeth at the mention of her deceased brother.

"We had to kill him otherwise he would've killed Jeremy!" Damon growled between his grated teeth. "Don't you want to get to the cure? Be human again with Donovan?" he asked hoping she'd fall for the blonde distraction again.

"Family above all Damon. You should know that. To hell with this cure" Rebekah said back in an emotionless voice.

While Rebekah was having her argument with Damon, Klaus glanced around the cellar and found his favorite one. He walked to stand right in front of them with a smirk. He noticed the way Caroline's eye started twitching in nervousness. She was clearly afraid of what he might do to her precious Tyler. Oh that treacherous hybrid. Now that Tyler was in his grasp he would have his fun with him. With both of them.

"Hello love" he said with a false pleasant voice. She felt a shiver travel up her spine at the way he greeted her. His voice was dangerous. She didn't reply because right now she was genuinely scared of Klaus. She had never been scared of him before because deep down she knew he wouldn't actually ever harm her but right now she had no idea what he might do.

Tyler seemed to understand the way his girlfriend was acting and stood up in front of her. "Your problem is with me. Don't mess with her" he said in a firm voice.

Klaus turned to look at the Mutt who dared to order him. He gave him a cruel smile and knew exactly what spot to hit. "My problem isn't with you. My problem is you" he sneered. "Don't worry when I do mess with her, it'll be in far private places" he said with a smirk giving Caroline a once over.

Caroline felt infuriated by his words. Was this really happening? Was she just an object in everyone's eyes? First Damon, now Klaus.

"What do you want Klaus?" she asked in a strong voice finally getting the courage to speak up to him. She wouldn't be the damsel in distress, she promised that to herself when she became a vampire and she'd die trying. He needed to protect Tyler and Matt right now.

Klaus' expression turned serious all of a sudden. "I want to know if you knew about the plot to kill my brother" he said with finality. "And please don't lie" he ordered narrowing his eyes at her menacingly.

"I didn't know about it until after it was done" she said looking away from the intensity of his eyes burning into hers. She actually felt bad for him. She had lost two of his siblings after coming to Mystic Falls but that was his own fault too. He killed their loved ones, they killed his. That was how it worked in the supernatural world.

"We both didn't know about it" she continued glancing towards Tyler who was fuming in rage. "Matt didn't know either" she added hoping no one would catch her lie.

But Klaus caught her as always. She always was a terrible liar. "I suppose I can free only one of you now that you lied." Klaus replied looking at Caroline with a fake pout. "Matt here knew and you lied which means Tyler here has to suffer" he said with fake pity.

"Free Tyler then. I'll take his place" she offered up. She couldn't think of a thing to do if Tyler would die.

"What are you doing? Care no!" Tyler started arguing but Klaus beat it to him.

He shook his head looking at her unimpressed. "As you wish love but no take back-s later" he warned and began opening the door to their cellar. Rebekah glared her brother who was apparently being generous for that bitchy little cheerleader again.

"Nik! We're here for our brother not for your advances towards the cheerleader" she hissed venomously. Klaus only turned and gave her a look. Rebekah nodded because she understood her brother was going to do anything but let them go.

Caroline was shocked but she quickly nodded seeing the slightest chance for Tyler to escape. Tyler was shaking with rage but Caroline held his hand and nodded at him. "Tyler go. For me" she pleaded.

Klaus clenched his fists watching her plead in front of that pathetic pet of his. He kept calm and watched as he walked out of the cell. Klaus merely smiled and locked the cell door once again winking at Caroline when she saw his devious expression.

He didn't waste and second and flashed in front of Tyler, punching his hand in his chest. He tore out his heart and threw it at the opposite wall without a drop of regret. It was only Caroline's scream that made him stop only for a second. But then that remorse was gone and his pride was back again.

"AAAHH! Tyler! NO! NO! NO!" She screamed tears suddenly streaming down her face. She slid down to the floor on her knees and pulled at the bars trying to break them knowing it was a pointless gesture anyway.

"Oh my God" Elena rasped from her cell looking forward to see her best friend's boyfriend's greying body on the floor. Bonnie also let out a little yelp but tried to calm herself. Matt gaped and placed his hand on the young vampire's shoulder sympathetically.

Klaus simply shrugged and wiped his bloodied hand with Tyler's shirt. He watched the expressions all around the room. Rebekah was smirking impressed by her brother and the rest were, not so happy, to say the least. He turned to Caroline who was shaking with tears and screaming.

"WHAT DID YOU DO?" she hissed at him with her vampiric features emerging. She stood up and glared him. Tears still falling onto the floor from her beautiful red eyes.

Klaus shrugged again but then turned serious, "Consider this your last warning. Lie to me again and I'll do worse" he threatened and walked away from the property.

"Well that was entertaining." Rebekah mused from her spot in front of Damon's cell. Now that she saw Caroline crying, she did feel bad for her because she wasn't part of the plan to kill her brother but then again she also cried the same way for Kol. And if they did involve Caroline in this plan, she would've said yes anyways.

"Rebekah do everyone a favor and shut up." Damon spoke from his place. All that had been done to Caroline, he felt bad for the girl but they needed her to stay calm because if she left control in Matt's presence, he'd be dead.

Rebekah glowered at him and made a mental note to make him pay for that comment. Later maybe right now she needed to add salt to fresh wounds so she moved to Caroline's cell. She stood in front of her, outside the bars, looking at Matt and then Caroline. "I'm sorry for your loss but I didn't know about it until after it was done" she quoted back sarcastically.

Caroline could hardly feel anything around her. She had just cost Tyler his life. Her want and desire to have her friend had cost her, her boyfriend. She looked at the grey corpse of Tyler, remembering all the times they had spent together. She had promised him they were going to be okay but she failed. She failed to convince Klaus to let him go. She failed at the only thing she was ever able to do. Damon was right she was useless, pathetic and shallow. She didn't want to feel all of this pain. It was too much. She wanted to turn it off. It's be so easy to just…

Rebekah saw all the emotions pass through Caroline's face. She feared if she'd turn her humanity off so she squatted down to her level and captured her gaze. "No matter what happens, you will not turn off your emotions Caroline." She said and watched as the blonde repeated her instructions dumbly. "You will not harm Matt too and you will feel every amount of pain that I felt when Kol died" she hissed the last part venomously and stood up to leave without giving them a second glance.

Once the original left, Matt turned to friend who was now a sobbing and yelling mess on the floor. He had seen his best friend's heart get ripped out and then watched his ex-girlfriend get compelled not to kill him.

"Care" he said soothingly and pulled her into an embrace. She gladly returned his hug and held onto him tighter as if her life depended on it. She cried and wept until her eyes were dry and she couldn't feel anything around her.

A/N:

Okay to all those who had reservations why the Caroline, Tyler, Damon and Matt are being punished? They weren't involved and all. I mentioned it in the previous chapters that this is the originals' POV. Not mine. Not a general one. Secondly Damon and Matt both knew about the plot to kill Kol. And Tyler and Caroline are being punished because if they are hurt, it'll hurt Bonnie and Elena so it fulfills Rebekah's mission really.

Besides Klaus hates Tyler for many other reasons too and if Tyler's gone, he can have Caroline to himself. If anyone has any more questions please feel free to ask.
