'The World is a Vampire'

'Sent to Drain'

Caroline wanted to slap herself and wake up from this nightmare, but in reality she knew she couldn't. How she wanted to go back to the day before? Tag along with Rhea somewhere and prevent this atrocious life that started after her parents passed it down to her. Her childhood home was burned to ashes and Rhea was killed and buried where she didn't know.

'Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in cage.'

She made herself wait for the right time to run away from this lunatic. He was enjoying messing with her mind.

'Then someone will say what is lost can never be saved.'

And the song—it was great as hell.

"You don't seem fine, love." He spoke with his merry tone making her grind her teeth. "Is everything ok?"

Caroline glanced at his smug face.

'Despite all my rage I am still just rat in cage.'

Her mind was at its breaking point. Most times she thought she would be happier with her mind gone and unaware of supernatural existence.

Obviously she was having a hard time to digesting the truth.

Then that strength hidden in the depths made her stay alert.

"I. Am. Fine. Regardless of you disrupting my life." His lips twisted into an amused grin. "Thanks for your concern anyway." Caroline added staring in front of her and not at him.

"You have such a way with words, love." He complimented. "As of now, what you do, how you are is my concern till it is not. So, now tell me how would you like to spend your eternity?"

Alone, was her immediate thought.

Slowly a frown crept over her face. "What do you mean?"

Klaus shrugged his shoulders lightly. "I told you before. I want to turn you into a vampire."

"I'm not going to be a monster." She cut him off.

His face distorted as he scoffed. "You are weak in your human state."

"I'm happy with the way I am."

Klaus exhaled tiredly. "You are so obstinate Caroline." In the next instant he declared callously. "Fine! We will be together no matter with you being weak. I will make the arrangements."

'I still believe that I cannot be saved.'

Caroline leaned her head back on the seat and closed her eyes. If only she had a magical wish to make she would disappear from this situation.

'I still believe that I cannot be saved.'

However, she wasn't living a fairytale.

"Where are we?" Caroline was cautious as she looked around. There was an abandoned building in front of them, but what bothered her a little too much was—the distant, mischievous glint in Klaus' eyes.

Turning to her he replied with a smirk. "You want to stay like this, right love?" He unlocked the door and got down. Caroline followed him quietly as he said. "You are quite sure?"

"I don't want to be like you."

Her harsh reply caused Klaus to turn around. "It is a simple question, love. No need to be rude." His cold tone made her hesitate. "To answer your question—we are here to link your petty life to mine."

Petty life?

Caroline inhaled deeply glowering at him through her glasses. "So now I'm petty. I would happily walk away from you. Just leave me Klaus!"

Klaus menacingly raised his index finger and closed his eyes trying to control himself. "Dare to speak to me like that again Caroline and you will face my wrath. Now stay quiet until we are done."

Caroline gulped a little and stepped back in fear. Clamping his teeth together Klaus signaled her to get into the building.

She wanted something to happen to save her from this doom. Like a group of hunters suddenly appear and kill him. She imagined a bomb destroying the building. She would embrace death happily over a life with him.

Caroline walked down the creepy hall and heard a soft voice purring at them.

"What took you long?"

"Selene!" Klaus greeted the witch cheerily.

The woman was around Caroline's age. She observed Caroline for a minute with her hazel eyes and hopped off the table she was sitting on. Her dark hair was cropped short and there were piercings on every visible part of her body. Tattoos covered the same parts of her.

"This is the one?" She asked removing the headphones from her ears.

Klaus curled a hand around Caroline's waist and nodded gleefully. "Are you prepared?"

"Undoubtedly. Let's get this over with." She replied with no emotion.

Klaus let out an impressed sigh, and pulled Caroline towards the circle which Selene drew with a powder substance. Caroline expected it to be salt. That's what they use on TV. Funny, how her life became an episode of Supernatural.

She stood close to Klaus only because the circle was that small. Selene started chanting in a language Caroline couldn't understand. After what seemed like forever Selene opened her eyes and lit all the candles surrounding them while continuing her mumbling. When she brought a bowl and a knife to Klaus he took her hand and sliced her palm. The dark liquid flowed into the bowl, making Caroline tremble from the sight of her own blood and wince in pain.

Klaus repeated the process for himself then handing the bowl back to Selene. She stretched out her hands and closed eyes. Chanted something unrecognizable. A dull light began to glow from within the bowl. Caroline was in awe seeing magic being done.

Klaus laughed at her reaction. This was not his first time dealing with magic. Nor would it be his last.

Mentally rolling her eyes, Caroline stared at the bowl and watched as the light dimmed. Taking the bowl, Selene passed it to Klaus. "Drink. Both of you."

No way.

Caroline was not going to drink it.

Klaus slurped with no problem and gave the bowl to her. When she hesitated, his gaze turned darker. "Drink Caroline. You will live as long as I."

"No." She still was testing her chances.

"We can do it in my way if you want." He suggested icily.

That was not required. Caroline hated compulsion.

She didn't want to be a vampire, but Klaus was making her immortal anyway. She had no choice, but to comply with his demand.

Taking the bowl, she took a sip and coughed. Blood tasted worse than before. Bitter, and burning her mouth. Maybe that was because of that magic?

With difficulty, she drank what was left.

"That's it, Klaus. Our agreement is over." Selene reminded The Hybrid. Klaus' breath quickened, and he was feeling unusual from the spell. Caroline mirrored his reactions.

Odd. Very odd.

"What is happening?" Klaus demanded.

"Just a side-effect. Maybe?" Selene replied. "I linked her life with yours and created the bond like you asked."

"So?"

"Maybe the bond needs to be consummated? I don't know." She huffed and moved to the table to grab her things. "You're a smart one, Klaus. Haven't figured it out by now? You vampires always wanting what you want and damn the consequences." Turning to him she shook her head. "Your selfishness will make this link your weakness. You will see what I mean in the days to come."

Klaus growled in a low tone and used his vamp speed to catch her and snap her neck. Selene's lifeless body was dropped on the cold, dusty floor.

Caroline gasped looking down when Klaus watched her darkly. "I cannot risk exposure of my bond with you, now can I?"

She felt her heart beating at a faster pace. Her thoughts were not organized, her mind all over the place, but still she had a bit of an idea of what was wrong with them. Put aside her animosity as something began to burn inside her. When she glanced at Klaus he was smirking in a mysterious way.
