Bad girls
Elena had been feeling this burning sensation all morning. She could exactly place what it was until Jeremy came close to her. She was thirsty. She knew Klaus would obviously not give her blood. Hell he hadn't given Caroline any blood why would he give any to her? And she couldn't exactly ask Stefan to help her when he had just lost his brother partially because of her. Caroline had kept murmuring apologies and encouragements to Stefan all night. Maybe seeing her best friend like this had caused Caroline to step back into the original optimistic Caroline but the sadness of Tyler's death was still very fresh to her.
"I think I know what to do" Caroline spoke up suddenly. She had been extremely suicidal after Tyler's death but when she woke up chained she could hear Stefan crying. A part of her was glad that Stefan was alive but another part of her was sad for Damon's death. He was Stefan's brother and when Elena told her the way Klaus had gotten Damon killed, Caroline flinched and it almost scared her as to what Klaus would do with the rest of them.
"What do you have in mind?" Bonnie asked curiously. She was very happy that Caroline was safe and back to her normal self. Well as normal as she could get.
"Klaus said we have to vote right?" she asked confirming his cruel way of punishment.
Bonnie nodded but she knew her friend couldn't see, "Yeah" she answered tiredly.
"Well there's six of us left. We just vote one another. When there's one vote for each person. He can't kill us" she reasoned. It was the only way they could delay their punishments and Caroline was in no way ready to lose another one of her friends.
"We can't vote you. He said that yesterday. So if we all vote like you suggested, then someone's going to end up with two votes" Bonnie said her voice crackling.
"Vote me then. I can't resist the bloodlust anymore" Elena spoke up as a few tears streamed down her face.
"Elena please. Hold on just a little longer. We'll find a way out. I won't vote or something" Caroline reassured her. It was strange how her friends' pain had affected her to go back to her normal self when she was just attempting suicide yesterday.
"Care I can't. I'll drain Jeremy" Elena sobbed.
"No you won't. Have a little blood from me Elena." Jeremy offered his wrist as he came closer to his sister who backed away from him as much as she could.
"No Jeremy stay away. I'll hurt you" she cried even more.
"Elena take deep breaths and try to remember that he's your little brother. You won't hurt him" Caroline reassured her. She knew what it felt like to live with a human and how their blood called to you.
"Caroline you know you can feed from me. I know you're in control but you haven't fed in days" Matt offered her his own wrist and winced when his hand hurt.
Caroline shook her head, "You know I don't feed directly. I just need to get out of these" Caroline said struggling against the chains keeping her locked in place.
"It's no use guys. We're just looping around here. We need to find a solution" Bonnie spoke up but before anyone could reply the cause of all their problems came strolling in.
"You're right. It's no use" Rebekah answered sauntering in with Klaus on her tail. She then turned to the baby vampire who seemed better than before. More enthusiastic.
"Ah! I'm glad to see you're not on suicide mode anymore" she commented sarcastically giving her a once over.
Caroline growled at her, "No I'm in more of a murder mode" she hissed back baring her fangs at the original who seemed impressed.
"Wow! Nice little show you have going on there" Rebekah said with a casual shrug and then bared her own fangs, "But I'm an original darling" she hissed back and seconds later her face turned back to normal.
"Now girls. You have to get along because we're all going to play a game" Klaus chimed in and glanced over at Caroline with a huge smile as if he had forgotten everything she had said to him just yesterday.
"Rebekah I know you're a good person. You don't have to do this" Matt tried to reason with her hoping he could get through to her and she would snap out of this madness.
Rebekah looked at him, unaffected by his words. "Oh now I'm a good person?" she asked laughing and looked at her brother who was controlling his laughter. "That's new. You didn't think I was good when you killed two of my brothers?" she questioned venomously.
Matt had the decency to look ashamed. But Caroline was having none of it. "Kol was going to kill Elena and chop off Jeremy's arms. It was purely self-defense." She argued defensively.
"It wouldn't have happened if Elena had not provoked Kol and invited him inside" Klaus countered and moved forward to stand in front of Caroline's cell.
Caroline scoffed. "Just because you're an original doesn't mean you can do everything you want- she was cut off by Klaus.
"It does actually" he answered back and knelt down to her level. "The world works on power sweetheart. Don't you revel in the power you have over those humans?" he questioned knowingly.
Caroline opened her mouth to say something but Bonnie beat her to it.
"Whatever game you want to play, just get it over with" the witch hissed frighteningly as if she was the captor, not the captive.
Klaus and Rebekah smirked. "We're going to play truth and dare" the original bitch chimed with a fake smile and unlocked Bonnie and Elena from their respective positions while Klaus went to Caroline.
She watched his every move. He carefully opened the cell door and walked over to her ignoring Matt. He maintained eye contact with her and smiled when he reached to unlock her wrist from above her head. As expected as soon as her wrists were free, she slapped him across his face with all the energy she had left but he didn't even flinch.
He simply smiled at her before he grabbed her wrists and tugged her out of the cell.
"Let go of me!" she yelled at him struggling against his iron grip.
He immediately let go of her when they reached the rest of the girls. "There you go" he commented as he saw Caroline hugging Elena. She then went to Bonnie and pulled her in for a hug.
"I'm starting to feel a bit left out" Rebekah commented sarcastically. Caroline wanted to make a comment but Elena grabbed her arm and shook her head at her.
"Let's start Bonnie truth or dare?" Rebekah questioned leaning against the wall while Klaus blocked their exit.
"Truth" she said thinking words weren't going to harm anyone but with a dare she could make her do something terrible.
Rebekah smirked, "If I compel you to kill one of your best friends, who would you prefer it to be?" she asked cruelly glancing at Caroline and Elena.
Bonnie groaned. She had fallen into their trap after all. "I… I'm sorry Elena" she said apologetically. But it was only because Elena was a new vampire and she had a hard time controlling her bloodlust while Caroline was living her life easily as a vampire. She had adjusted to her new reality.
Both Caroline and Elena looked shocked. Elena was at the verge of tears but she understood. Caroline, on the other hand, was fuming with rage. How dare they ask such questions?
"Truth or dare Care?" Bonnie whispered with her head held down.
"Dare" Caroline responded confidently. Bonnie glanced at her and smiled. Maybe they could inflict a little pain on the originals after all.
"I dare you to stab someone in this room" she replied nonchalantly. Rebekah's fell face and she looked at her brother who was still smirking and engaged into a staring competition with the baby blonde vampire.
Caroline, without a second thought, flashed to Klaus and stabbed a metal poker into his stomach with so much force that he doubled in pain and fell to the floor. "That was for Tyler" she whispered venomously. Elena took the opportunity and grabbed Bonnie's hand to flash them out of there but Rebekah stood in front of them.
"Ah ah! No escaping before the game is finished" she tooted and held her finger up.
Klaus was recovering fast and as he was about to pull the poker out of his stomach, Caroline glanced around nervously to find anything else to stop him with. On finding nothing, she grabbed the poker still in his stomach and twisted it painfully and pushed it in, as it dug deeper into his stomach. Klaus growled and grabbed both of her wrists and pinned her to wall with the poker still in his body.
Elena took Rebekah's distracted opportunity to attack her.
"Bonnie GO!" she yelled as she attacked the original. Before Bonnie could even run to the entrance, Rebekah had Elena pinned to the opposite wall with her hand in Elena's chest.
Both Jeremy and Matt ran to the doors of their cells. "NO!" they yelled in unison.
"Don't move or Elena's heart will be splattered across the door before you can even blink" Rebekah hissed and Elena cried in pain when the original gave her heart a squeeze.
"Rebekah no!" Caroline cried out as Klaus gave her a death glare and slammed her harder into the wall he was holding her against.
"Get back here" Klaus growled finally and everyone seemed to have gotten back their senses. Bonnie moved back and Rebekah released Elena but didn't release her hold on her.
Klaus snapped his head back to glare at Caroline. She had stabbed him for that hybrid failure of his. For Tyler. After that she had twisted it even more. She was going to sacrifice herself for her friends. Klaus kept one of his hands of her waist, immobilizing her while he pulled out the poker from his abdomen with the other.
He threw the poker angrily at the floor and growled at Caroline. She could see his eyes turn from blue to golden. He willed himself not to let his anger get the best of him. Without breaking eye contact with the blonde in front of him he called for his sister. "Rebekah" he barked.
"Punish Elena as you like" he said and with that he used his free hand to grab Caroline's jaw and make her look at her friend who was struggling against the other original.
Rebekah smiled pleased with her brother. She turned to Elena and stared into her eyes, "You feel a little pale darling. Have a drink from Jeremy" she compelled her.
Elena didn't even try to fight the compulsion and began moving towards her brother. Even Jeremy didn't intervene to stop her. It was either him or his sister. He'd always choose his sister.
Caroline fought Klaus in vain and even Bonnie tried to intervene but Rebekah held her back.
Klaus turned Caroline's head so she watched as Elena drained her brother dry and ripped his throat out. She could feel bile rising in her throat and the tears flowed down her cheeks as she saw her best friend kill her baby brother.
"ELENA STOP IT!" Caroline yelled at her while sobbing hysterically. That was when Elena snapped out of the trance looked around. She had killed her own brother. Just like Stefan had killed Damon.
"Oh my God! No! No!" she said and cradled Jeremy's head into her lap. "No no please Jeremy wake up" she cried and wiped her face trying to get rid of her brother's blood on her face, her hair.
Rebekah released Bonnie and went outside the cellar. She smirking. Finally Elena had suffered and the killer of her brother was dead. Her revenge was basically over. Now there were just a few bits and pieces left.
Bonnie cried as she watched Elena support Jeremy's dead body. His eyes were wide open and once again he had given his life for Elena. He was a hunter, he could've killed Elena but no. Everything came down to Elena Gilbert's survival.
Klaus finally released Caroline and dragged her back to her cell, not bothering to chain her wrist this time. Once inside, Klaus stepped closer to her and moved his head so his lips brushed against her earlobe. "I have forgiven you just this once Caroline" he warned. "Next time I will drain your mother in front of you if you so much as even think to interfere" he threatened menacingly and didn't wait for her reply before he locked her in and flashed into the night.
Caroline slid down to the floor. She was wrong. She did have something to lose. Someone to lose. Her mother. Klaus had everyone under his trap. He had found a weakness for everyone and he wouldn't stop until all of them were done.
