Hello, my lovely readers. It's time for Klaus' side of the story. On with the show…

Chapter 6: Doctor's Orders

Klaus Mikaelson hadn't thought too much about the warnings about some lunatic that wanted to harm the males of Mystic Falls. Caroline had mentioned it in passing because her friend Elena was obsessed with it. So he hadn't given it much thought when he went to The Falls. He had a major project in mind and was hoping to win a scholarship so that he could study abroad in Paris. Whitmore was an okay school but it was not enough. He needed a broader canvas. He also wanted to take Caroline with him. A few nights and she would stop with this jealousy nonsense.

When he arrived the parking lot was packed but Caroline was not there. Neither were her friends, Bonnie and Elena. He had taken the time to greet his sister and her friend, Hayley but after Caroline had accused him of being attracted to the brunette because he made a passing remark about her legs he had decided to keep his distance. It had been harmless. He was an artist and appreciated the human body. That was all. She would need to understand if they were to spend the rest of their lives together.

Wandering through the woods, he had not suspected that there was anything off. It was a nice night. The moon was full and he wished he had brought a canvas with him. Walking back out to the parking lot, he decided to wait for Caroline but Damon and Stefan showed up. He walked with them to get another drink. After a time he wandered off into the woods again. He was tipsy and bored and he just wanted to be with Caroline.

Leaning against a tree trunk, he thought he heard his name. Turning he caught sight of a girl who was waving to him. Seeing her long, curly blonde hair but not much else because he had drunk too much, he gave chase. If Caroline wanted to frolic in the woods, who was he to argue. He would follow her to the ends of the earth, if that was her wish.

Running after the girl, Klaus found himself in the middle of a clearing and he didn't see his prey anywhere. "Caroline?" he called, turning around and peering between the trees.

"Over here," the girl called and in the back of Klaus' mind he registered that that was not Caroline's voice. However, his brain was moving more slowly than his body. When he saw a hand wave, his body moved in that direction. "Come on, Klaus. Come here, boy," the languid voice called. For a moment he thought of his mother for some reason. The cadence of the voice was so familiar. And yet not at all.

When the girl came out from the trees, she was holding a knife in her right hand and she was smiling widely. "Aw, that is a very good boy. Now, come to your big sister. I want to talk to you."

Klaus opened his mouth to scream but he couldn't seem to get anything out. He turned to run but then he felt the knife pressing against his back. "If I stab you, right here, then you will never walk again. Do you want that?"

Shaking his head, Klaus closed his eyes. He didn't want to die. He hadn't been able to tell Caroline that he loved her yet. Every time he tried; the words did not sound right. He wanted it to be perfect. "Please, don't kill me," he uttered and he hated that he was begging. Klaus had always been proud, like his father.

"Don't worry. You're not going to die just yet. A friend of mine wants to play with you first. And we have plenty of time," the girl who claimed to be his sister cooed into his ear as she stroked the side of his face.

Feeling a needle pierce his neck, Klaus cried out and then the world was spinning so very quickly. Feeling the energy draining right out of him, he looked up at the blonde who smiled down at him, stroking his cheek. "You are a handsome one. Our parents must be so pleased with themselves. So many pretty children with so much talent and smarts. Oh, my. It's too bad that they decided to give me up. Otherwise they would have so many blessings that the gods would fear they had been given too much and would take it all away."

"What are you doing?" a voice shouted and the crazed girl looked up to see Oliver Kenner.

Klaus opened his mouth to warn Oliver to run but he couldn't seem to force his mouth to work. Oliver was moving closer to them. When the younger man or boy depending on who you were asking, saw the knife he began to back up. He didn't get very far before another girl appeared.

"Look what we have here," she said with a delight. "Looks like you found yourself someone you can kill. You want him, or do you want to share?"

"This one is mine," Klaus' sister said with a grin. Oliver tried to run but the other girl tripped him.

"Oops," she said before she kicked him back down the slight incline so that he rolled into Klaus. The second girl disappeared, whistling to herself as Klaus' sister, or the crazy person or whatever, dropped down on top of Oliver. She straddled the terrified boy who could only seem to stare at her as she ran her knife over his lower bits.

"Please," Oliver moaned as he looked down. Klaus was sure he was about to piss his pants. "Please," he begged.

"Alright," she said. Pressing a light kiss to his lips, she pulled away before stabbing downward and then cutting in a slow circle. She worked slowly as Oliver gagged on blood pouring out of the side of his mouth. He let out a gasping wheeze when she reached inside his chest cavity and ripped his beating heart out of his chest. "The Aztecs used to remove the hearts as a sacrifice to their gods. I'm going to leave this one in case there are any gods that might like it."

Wiping her bloodied hands on her pants, the sister that Klaus wished he did not know, yanked him from the forest floor and pulled him along. She dragged him straight through the parking lot and no one so much as looked their way as she loaded him into the passenger seat of an unfamiliar vehicle. Klaus wondered where in the hell she was taking him but he couldn't move his mouth to ask her.

"Oh, look, there's Father," the girl said, she actually smiled as Klaus turned his head to see his father drive right past them. He wished he could pound on the glass and scream for his father to stop and help him.

"Don't worry. I'm coming back to say hello. I hope I don't take too long dropping you off," she said conversationally. "Oh, where are my manners? I'm Freya. I'm sure you don't remember me. I was born before you were even considered. Our aunt raised me and that is the short version. Depending on whether you're still alive later tonight I'll tell you the long version."

Klaus closed his eyes; he was so very tired. The next thing he knew he was being wheeled into an elevator. Looking around himself, he wondered where he was and where Freya was. He was beginning to regain control of his body but that did not matter because he was strapped to this infernal chair. "What in the bloody hell?" he fumed.

"Ah, you're awake. I was worried that you had been given too much," a cheerful voice cried and he turned his head to see Cami O'Connell smiling down at him cheerfully.

"Cami, what are you doing here?" Klaus demanded.

"I had to come. We don't let escaped patients just wander the country side, now do we?" she patted him on the shoulder and Klaus stared at her grimly as the doors opened. He was pushed onto a floor where a nurse greeted Cami as Dr. O'Connell and she pushed him through a set of double doors.

"You're going to have your own room and we can have a long overdue chat," Cami told Klaus. "But I need you to take these pills for me first." She withdrew a bottle and poured out two into her palm. Loosening his restraints, she watched him pull one hand out and take the pills. When he placed them in his mouth, he sat and stared at her. "Need some water?" she asked and he nodded.

Waiting, Klaus watched her turn her back and he spat out the pills, placing them beneath his left leg. Taking the glass of water, he drained it and then opened his mouth. "Good. That's very good. Now, you're going to need to rest before we talk. So, I'm going to take the other restraint off and have an orderly come in and help you into bed."

Klaus nodded, his eyelids drooping. When the large man came into the room, Klaus waited for him to help him to bed. "Thank you," he whispered.

"You're wel-" the man was never able to finish the sentence because Klaus forced the pills into his open mouth. Leaping onto his back, Klaus held his mouth and nose shut until the man swallowed the pills in his effort to breathe. Dropping back down, Klaus continued to run from the man until he stumbled and then fell to the floor. "Sweet dreams," Klaus whispered before he stripped the man and dressed himself. Leaving the room, he ran down the hall and around a corner. He left the floor with his head ducked and entered the stairwell. Coming out on the sixth floor. He was looking for somewhere to hide when he saw Cami, he jerked a door open. "Klaus," Caroline greeted him with huge eyes.

"Shush," Klaus slapped his hand over her mouth. One part of him was delighted to see her while another was terrified. Seeing Hayley, he signaled for her to keep her mouth shut, too. Soon they were leaving and he noted doctors in the hallway. Shoving Caroline and then Hayley around the corner, he only turned away when Cami came back down.

When they were free to leave, they ran. Feeling Caroline fall on top of him and then Hayley, he noticed the blood and shook his head when Hayley mentioned it as Caroline fled for the fifth floor exit. Klaus was right behind her but then she turned to find that Hayley wasn't with them. The next thing Klaus knew was that Caroline was trying to kill his brother. Then Cami was back and then she was out. Running. They were all running here and there and then they were being escorted out of an elevator. Everything was happening far too quickly for Klaus' taste.

All that Klaus knew was that he was with Caroline and now he wasn't. "Where are you taking her?" he yelled as two orderlies escorted him to an elevator.

"That's not your concern, Mr. O'Connell," one of the two men that had ahold of him replied with a smirk.

"What? My name is Klaus Mikaelson," he shouted at them.

"Yeah. And I'm Donald Trump, you sick freak. I heard what you did in that church in New Orleans. You're just a sicko who gets his kicks by hurting innocent people," the orderly grunted. "But you're lucky because your sister is a doc and she's going to take care of your ass. If it were me, you'd be frying."

"I'm not who you think I am," Klaus growled when they exited the doors and he was forced back into the room he had escaped. "Just tell me where you're taking Caroline."

"Who's Caroline?" the other orderly asked.

"Caroline Forbes. The girl I was with," Klaus yelled at them.

"You mean Eve Sinclair. Man, you really are twisted running around with a notorious kid killer. Yeah, you'd be a match made in hell," the first orderly told him as he grabbed a syringe and shoved it into Klaus' arm and he wasn't gentle about it.

Klaus could hear the man's laughter as he sunk into darkness. Hours later, Klaus woke to the sound of Cami's voice. "Hi, Klaus. I'm sorry about the orderly. Just between you and me, I took care of him for you. No one is going to hurt you as long as you're in my care."

Struggling to respond, Klaus took a sip from the glass of water she offered him. "Does that include my demented sister?" he asked.

"Rebekah?" Cami asked with a smile, fluffing the pillows behind his head.

"No, the other one," Klaus replied, watching her face.

Cami's smile dropped. "Freya is still trying to learn to adjust. After killing your aunt… In time, I'm sure she'll be fine. And she'll be so happy when we get home. Just the three of us. I already have a little house picked out -"

"What?" Klaus looked at Cami with disgust. "You're trying to kill me and you think I want to live with you? You're mad."

"Technically speaking, Klaus, you're the one who is mad. In both senses of the word. But I'm going to fix you. And we'll be happy. Once Caroline is locked away somewhere where no one will ever find her and your brothers are all gone. And Rebekah. She never liked me, we'll be happy." Cami was still talking when another blonde appeared behind her.

"I don't know. My magic ball is telling me that the future is uncertain. For you." Klaus watched as Cami slumped to the ground. "Don't know where you got that one from, but I would ask for my money back," Liv Parker remarked to Klaus as she unfastened his restraints.

"Liv? Where's Caroline?" Klaus asked as Liv shook her head.

"Don't know. We need to go, like yesterday," the blonde uttered while helping Klaus to sit up. "Here, I've got some clothes for you." She held out a t-shirt and pair of jeans.

Klaus offered her a weak smile. His primary concerns were Caroline and his siblings, except for his newest sibling. She, he could do without ever seeing again. "Thank you," Klaus said, yanking on his jeans. "How did you know I was here, anyway?"

"Long story. We don't have time," Liv replied, grabbing his arm and wrapping it around her shoulders when he nearly fell to the floor. "Tyler," she whispered loudly. Tyler popped his head inside the room. He was dressed as an orderly and Klaus looked back at Liv. This was the first time he noticed that she had removed Cami's lab coat and put on a pair of glasses.

"The coast is clear," Tyler said. "Good thing it's so late," he told them. Klaus wondered how late it was. There were no windows on this floor so he couldn't see if the sun was coming up.

Liv walked on Klaus' left side while Tyler stayed on his right as they placed him in a wheelchair. He hoped that they weren't caught again. Exiting the room, they hurried down the hallway and through the double doors. Klaus hoped to never see this place again. Liv hit the elevator button and she tapped her foot as she waited for the doors to open.

When they got inside they were alone, thankfully. Liv slid a key card through a tiny box and was able to hit the button for the fourth floor. "Here we go," she said.

Taking off the orderly's scrubs, Tyler tossed them into a corner of the elevator as they got off; he took the lab coat that Liv offered him while she took the glasses off and pocketed them. Tyler wheeled Klaus off to the side. Looking up at Tyler, Klaus started to ask what they were waiting for when Liv came out a minute later with Stefan, who was also in a wheelchair. "Go," Liv ordered Tyler who hit the elevator button.

"They found you. Where's Caroline?" Stefan asked and Klaus shook his head when he looked up at Liv whose eyes had misted over while she bit her lower lip.

"You alright, love?" Klaus asked the blonde who shook her head.

"My brother, Kai's in a coma. He was shot in the head. They're not sure he's going to make it and I'm scared to leave him here but we can't stay," Liv said in a rush as tears streamed down her cheeks.

Seconds later the elevator doors opened and they were moving through the lobby as quickly as possible. Moving out through the double doors, Klaus felt relieved when he saw Bonnie Bennett sitting behind the wheel of their get-away car. But it was the person in the passenger's seat that made his heart sore with relief. "Kol!" Klaus cried.

"Nik!" Kol got out of the car and hugged his brother before he helped Tyler help Klaus into the back of the car. "What happened to you?"

"Crazy doctor," Klaus replied with a grin before he saw the bandage around Kol's arm. "And you?"

"Crazy home invader. Not our home though. Not as far as I know. Have you been able to call Elijah or Bekah? I've been trying but they're not answering. Or at least not in the last three hours." Kol was saying. Removing his phone, he began to dial a number. "Yes, Rebekah's still going straight to voicemail. And Father is dead," he noted.

Klaus' eyebrows shot up. "What do you mean that Father is dead?"

"We saw him on the way here," Bonnie told Klaus as gently as she could.

Staring at the sun that was beginning to rise, Klaus felt tears form behind his eyelids. "Can I borrow your phone? I'm going to try to see if I can get ahold of Damon. He almost always answers unless he's having sex with Elena," Stefan said and everyone just sat for a long moment before they started to laugh hysterically.

Staring at Stefan, Klaus waited to see if he got an answer as Bonnie drove away from the hospital. "Damon's phone," a voice answered with a laugh.

"Ummm… Can I speak to him?" Stefan asked, looking at the others.

"Sure," the voice said.

"Stefan, stay away from me," Damon growled out. Stefan frowned while Klaus grabbed the phone.

"Where the bloody hell are you?" Klaus yelled into the phone.

"Good to know you're still in the game, Klaus. I was worried that someone had already taken you out. We're at The Grill. Bring friends. I did. And I'm making new ones with Elijah here. We're having a little Halloween party." Freya said smoothly while the other voice chuckled.

Shaking his head, Klaus looked out the window. "I need to find Caroline," he muttered. First, he had to save his big brother. He just hoped that Caroline could hold on and fight like she always did.
