"What are we doing here?" Caroline asked in an unemotional tone.

It was dark and late. She wanted nothing but a bed, a duvet wrapped around her and a squishy pillow under her head. It was not too much to ask but in this situation, in which Klaus turned into his predator self and planned a game for someone, her wish seemed like it was.

Another unfortunate girl was compelled like her and was dragged into house by the Original while the Ripper and she lagged at the car.

"He wants to get information out of someone." Stefan replied in the same tone as her.

"I prefer to stay here." She said recalling the Hybrid's erratic behavior with her, and turned radio on.

"Well, no one is expecting you either." He countered in an unemotional tone, making her to roll eyes and glared at his back.

Then why the fuck did Klaus take her to every place he goes, like a lapdog? She did not voice her question and instead she listened to radio jockey speaking.

That numbness seemed like it was permanent. Not that she cared, for she knew her humane self could not sync in with this life, with Klaus. She was better without it. Though, on the contra, she could not help but think if it was possible to break the bond between them. Like unlinking spell? Was it possible?

Possible or impossible, she would know if she contacted a witch.

But where could she find a witch in this world? It was not like she was best friends with one of them. Caroline snorted at that idea.

The whirl of her thoughts was disturbed by high-pitched screams from that isolated house and saw Klaus coming out with a smirk on his face.

"Missed me, love?" That was his first question as soon as he got into car, beside her. "Oh, I did, by the way. A lot." He said, taking her chin to plant a wet kiss.

Involuntarily her hand went to his face, caressed it as she droned a little. Did she miss? She did not know.

When he pulled back, words slipped out of her mouth with no control. "You were gone like for ten minutes." Her breathing gradually went down as she leaned back. Soon those screams died making her Klaus to smirk in front of him. "Stefan—is he like you?" she asked.

"A vampire and definitely not stronger than me." He replied, starting the engine.

"Is your friend not coming with us?" she asked when the Hybrid started to drive away from there.

"He is assigned to do something else, love." He looked at the rear-view mirror and smirked before he claimed. "Which makes the two of us to enjoy until the morning." He glanced at her; his eyes twinkled with too much delight that made her want to roll eyes. Instead she adjusted her glasses and looked away. "So, where do you want to go?"

"Diner," she replied soon, quietly and sardonically. "I would like to eat something if you really don't mind."

That made him chuckled lightly as he sighed, patting her thigh before he went a little up causing her to gasp. "And after that?" His voice hinted the obvious. Caroline inhaled, stared at him as her head quivered.

"I would have missed you," Klaus droned against her skin, "in a fraction of that impulsive moment." He sucked the skin of her collar bone, his fingers rubbing her waist gently. "When I think of it now," his tongue slid along the neck line, made her to snivel in response. He shook his head, chuckling softly when she stared up at him, anticipated, slightly frustrated, for he stopped in the middle. Her hand was beneath his, their fingers entwined, and their lips barely touching before he pulled back to look down at her.

She felt him, at that point of time; anxious, he was, and that made him to rub himself against her body, as if he was trying to seek comfort from her. That act surprised her.

Was he that much attached to her? Then why Caroline could not feel it completely?

"But you don't feel it in the same way, Caroline." He whispered before he captured her lips.

"I can't and I won't." She retorted nonchalantly before kissing him back.

Klaus pulled back to look her in the eyes. He was hurt and it was pretty evident on his face.

Still she did not care about it.

"Why you're even offended, Klaus?" she mocked flatly while making patterns on his neck. "It doesn't matter to you what I think or what I say. You want someone to warm your bed, to be your blood-bag at the same time and unfortunately I fell as your prey." At that moment the distance between their lips suffocated her, for obvious reasons. So she tried to bring his face down involuntarily, but he did not let her.

The expression in his eyes was unreadable, though she could say he wanted some answers.

Was there anything to give him? A voice inside her head laughed bitterly.

"This entire time you believe I was using you."

"Then you wouldn't capture me against my will."

Klaus pulled back, sat up and she did the same. No longer did she have trouble with her nakedness. She crawled on to his lap and traced his jaw before capturing his lips.

"I never wanted someone before as much as I want you." He declared after separating mouth from her. "I crave everything about you."

"Physical desires, Klaus." Caroline reminded him adamantly. She went to the curve of his neck and caressed with her mouth. "Can't you differentiate that much? I'm connected to you physically." Running fingers in his light brown hair, she looked him in the eyes and declared boldly. "You crave my body and my blood, and God knows how." She planted lips to the corner of his mouth. "Because of this bond, I couldn't deny you—physically." Momentarily she paused for a beat of heart. "I would never forget what you've done to me, Klaus. Never."

Horrifying silence prevailed after that, which stopped bothering her forever ago. The expression on his face was unreadable, but she could feel him—piercing rage, layers of it, helplessness, and then she felt his hurt.

Was it really possible for someone like him to get upset?

That was really bugging up her mind, for the last few minutes. She smiled, not the one that filled with light, and her gaze landed on his twisted mouth. "However, it is done, sealed."

This truth, it hurt her like bitch.

"Of course, there is no way out of this, Caroline." The coldness in his voice would have scared her before the ritual, when she was nothing but a pathetic, confused human. His stormy blues glittered with some dark mischief and she knew that look—that look reminded her of their time at her house and that weakened her within a second. "You'll learn to submit—not only your sensuous body and piece of your mind but all of you. Sooner or later. And I can wait," a promise, an assurance given by the mighty Hybrid that didn't spare her from chills. "We have eternity, after all."

It took her a minute to stop gaping at his smirking face. She felt like a fool, to think he had a softer side when she felt his sorrow.

He was a beast. Gentle, caring, hurt—such things were not going to fall in his list. His existence would only revolve around lust, power and wickedness. And this—she had to remember every time.

Any time—not because she had to share a long-life with him, but to break their bond and free herself. Once and for all.
