The Last Time

The Last Time

"Tyler, where the hell are you? You need to call me back or answer the damn phone. That werewolf slut Hayley just killed me and I wanna know why. Call me back ASAP" Caroline yelled into her phone as she walked through the woods. After waking up to find what Hayley had done and compelled April, Caroline made it her mission to find Tyler. But it seemed like he didn't want to be found. She'd been walking around the woods for ages. There was a twinge of horror that built inside Caroline now. What had happened? Did Tyler go through with the original plan? Why did Hayley temporarily kill her?

"Ugh" Caroline growled anxiously as she lost reception on her phone. She'd never know now if Tyler was calling her back now. Still, she carried on looking for him in the woods, calling out his name now and then.

"Tyler" she called out for the umpteenth time and stopped short when she smelt it.

Blood. Fresh blood. All around her. She narrowed her eyes in front as and her eyes widened in horror as she took in her surroundings. Drained bodies of the hybrids lay all around her.

"Oh my god," she whispered to herself in shock, looking around her. Panic settled into the pit of her stomach as she turned around, "Tyler", she whispered, hoping her fears weren't true. She was about to look at the endless bodies behind her fearing Tyler may be one of them when she heard his familiar but raspy, angered voice.

"He got away," he said as his dark, demonic eyes met her now terrified one, "it seems." he finished.

As she took in his bloody appearance, Caroline raised her hand to her mouth in shock of the monster that stood in front of her, "Klaus" she acknowledged.

He took another swig of the champagne and swung the bottle across, a small smash followed. He began slowly towards her.

Caroline's breathing altered as Klaus edged forward.

"What did you do Klaus?" her voice was still a whisper as she tried to calm her racing heartbeat. She had never feared Klaus as much as she feared him at this moment in time. There was something about him that truly frightened her. It wasn't the drained bodies around her or his bloody appearance. No, it was the crazed, wild and angry look in his eyes that scared her, that made her heart beat ten times faster. He could sense it but he was past caring.

"What did I do?" He laughed, the anger within him fuelling the fire inside.

Caroline flinched as he jumped right in front of her. His angry, blood-ridden face was mere centimetres away from her.

"What did you do Caroline?" he said, his tone still angry. As his fierce, blood red eyes bore right into hers, the fondness he had started to grow for her, the kindness he showed her earlier on today had all dispensed into bitter hatred. It had all gone. Evaporated. There wasn't a trace left. It wasn't thought imaginable that his monster that stood in front of her now was once capable of being gentle, of caring.

He took a step back, and laughed once, his eyes still fierce and hard as ever. "Surprised to see me alive?" he asked. He threw his arms out and inclined around him, "Did you expect to see Tyler here, me replacing the drained bodies over there on the ground.", his incredulity was gone, "the dead bodies that were my hybrids. The hybrids I created myself, gave life to, gave purpose to?" he was shouting again, and Caroline looked down, gulping down her fears.

"Was I not fair to you Caroline", he was in front of her again and her eyes shot up to take in that expression again, "Was I not fair to all of you. Even Tyler? How many times did you play me? How many times did you try to distract me in one of your little games with your boyfriend and did I once call you out on it? And this is how you repay me?" he paused, looking into those once beautiful, sparkling blue eyes that now had fear in them, "you stab me in the back?".
