Chapter 29

Klaus' Mansion
[Downstairs, A hybrid named Daniel walks in with Mindy's head in a bag.]
Daniel: What do you want me to do with her head?
Klaus: Just get rid of it. Burn it. I honestly don't care, Daniel. [Daniel walks away. Tyler enters.]
Tyler: You called? I'm here. What happened?
Klaus: What happened is Stefan had two paths in front of him and he chose the one that made me angry. I need you to help me do something about that.
Tyler: Can't you just leave me out of it?
Klaus: What would be the point in that?
Tyler: Seriously man, can't you just get one of your other hybrids to do your bidding? I lost my friends, my girlfriend.
Klaus: Right, your, uh, your girlfriend. Um, about her... I need you to bite her.
"Really? It's like you want your hybrids to hate you." Said Hayley.
Tyler: What?
Klaus: Don't make me repeat myself.
Tyler: A hybrid bite will kill a vampire.
Klaus: Yeah. Yeah, I know exactly what it will do. Uh, Stefan pushed me too far, so I'm pushing back.
Tyler: I'm not biting Caroline.
Klaus: Tyler, I've been supernaturally blessed with the good fortune of a sire bond to you. So, one could consider this me putting your undying loyalty to the test.
Tyler: What the hell is wrong with you? I'm not hurting Caroline.
Klaus: All right. All right. I'm disappointed, but you know, it's your choice, free will and all that. I'll find another way to strike at Stefan. You can go now.
Founders' Hall
[Elsewhere in the hall, Klaus and Bella are talking with Carol Lockwood.]
Klaus: You know Carol when I think of a mayor I think of an old fuddy-duddy, but you really have changed my perception!
Carol: Oh, thank you!
Bella: I'm glad strong and smart woman like yourself is a mayor.
Carol: Thank you! [Damon sees Klaus, Bella and Carol Lockwood talking and walks over to them.]
Bella: I mean you are just delightful! What color are your eyes?
Carol: They are blue.
Bella: Oh yes, they are.
Damon: Look at what the cat dragged in. Nice vest. [Daniel is standing behind Klaus.]
Klaus: Thank you very much, good to see you, Damon. Carol, Bella and I were discussing about whether you would be the other big benefactor.
Carol: What do you say Damon? Klaus and Bella have made a very generous pledge. You know how we're chomping at the bit to begin the renovation.
Damon: Carol, don't take this the wrong way, but do you realize that you've been kissing the ass of an immortal hybrid who ruined your son's life?
Klaus: Oh, come now. Some would say that I saved it from all that nasty full moon business. I've never had to go through it myself more than twice, to be honest, but still, I'm very sympathetic.
"Yeah, there is many words that could describe you, but symapthetic is definetly not one of them." Said Bella to Klaus.
"I'm very sympathetic person." Said Klaus. Everyone laughed.
Carol: Klaus and Bella have promised to protect Tyler, Damon. And our town.
Damon: From who? His hybrids are the one the town needs protection from.
Bella: Well, we'd have no use for them if your brother would kindly return our family.
Damon: Not gonna happen.
Klaus: That's what I thought, which is why I've come to an agreement with the Mayor. You and the Council stay out of my hair, I stay out of yours. Your town gets protected, my hybrids get left alone and everybody will be happy. All you have to do is to get Stefan to stop decapitating my friends.
Carol: Please Damon, just get your brother under control, or the Council will be forced to take action against him.
Damon: You've gotta be kidding me!
Klaus: Oh come on mate. Give peace a chance.
Founders' Hall
[Damon and Klaus enter an empty room. Bella follows.]
Klaus: What now? You just pulled me away from a fascinating conversation about landscaping the Town Square.
Damon: Stefan just grabbed Elena.
Klaus: Well, he's getting desperate.
Damon: He's gonna try and use her against you.Do what he says,get rid of your hybrids.
Bella: Or what? Stefan would never dream of killing her.
Everyone agreed.
Damon: You sure about that? He just tried to behead someone in the middle of a Council party. He's operating on crazy right now.
Klaus: Well, crazy or not, that kind of love never dies. He's bluffing.
Damon: Maybe he is, maybe he isn't but if you don't want to believe him, believe me. I know my brother better than anyone, and right now, I don't have a clue how far he is willing to take this. So if he says blink, I suggest you blink.
"Who they think they are?!" Seethed glaring Bella.
Stefan's Car
[Stefan calls Klaus.]
Klaus: Stefan, how nice to hear your voice.
Stefan: Tell your hybrids to get out of town, Klaus.
Klaus: Well that's not gonna happen until I get my coffins back.
Stefan: Okay, well then I'm gonna drive your blood source off Wickery Bridge.
Klaus: I don't believe you Stefan. You won't kill her. [Stefan bites his wrist and forces it into Elena's mouth and forces her to drink his blood.]
Elena: [sputtering] No! No! No! What are you doing?
Klaus: [concerned] What's going on?
Stefan: I just fed her my blood. No more hybrids if she's a vampire.
Klaus: You won't do it.
Stefan: Really? Try me, because your coffins are next to go. Say goodbye to your family Klaus.
Elena: [screaming] Stefan, slow down! Stefan! Stefan, stop it!
Klaus: Fine, I'll send them away. You win.
Elena: [screaming] Stefan! Stefan, stop!
Klaus: [screaming] Stop the car, Stefan!
[Stefan slams on the brakes and skids to a stop. Klaus hears this and hangs up, furious. Elena gets out of the car quickly and runs away from the car.]
Stefan: Get back in the car.
Elena: [yelling] Stay away from me.
Stefan: Elena, get in the car.
Elena: [screaming and near tears] How could you?! My parents died going over this bridge. I almost died. You knew that. You're the one who saved me. [Elena starts crying.]
Davina looks at her with pity.
Stefan: Look, he had to believe that I would do it, all right? Your fear sold it.
Elena: What if he hadn't?
Stefan: He did.
Elena: [louder] Well, what if he hadn't?
Stefan: [Shouting.] He did Elena! He backed down! He has a weakness. If I know his weakness, I can destroy him.
"I want to kill him. Again." Said Layla.
Elena: After everything, that's what mattered? Destroying Klaus?
Stefan: Destroying Klaus is all I've left.
Elena: You had me!
Stefan: I lost you the minute I left town with him. You just haven't let yourself admit that yet.
"At least he realises that much." Said Bella.
Elena: Is that what you're doing? Trying to make me hate you?
Stefan: I don't really care what you think about me any more, Elena. [Stefan gets back in his car and drives off. Elena watches him leave and continues to cry.]
Forbes Residence
[Matt goes to the door. Klaus is there. Matt opens it.]
Klaus: Tyler came to see me. Poor boy, he seemed quiet distressed. He said Caroline had a terrible accident.
Matt: You made him do this to her. He would have never done something like this.
Klaus: I'm here to help, Matt. My blood will heal her. Please, ask the Sheriff to
invite me inside.
Sheriff Forbes: I know how this game works. You want something in return.
Klaus: Just your support.
Sheriff Forbes: [considers this offer] Come in. [Caroline is lying on her side in her bed, with her right arm under her head. Klaus enters the house and smiles slyly at Matt as he passes him.]
Caroline: [weakly] Are you going to kill me?
"She's already dying. Slowly. Why would he come to kill her?" Said Bella confused.
Klaus: [softly] On your birthday? You really think that low of me?
Everyone raised their eyebrows at him.
"I love birthdays." Said Klaus.
Caroline: Yes. [Klaus examines her bite.]
Klaus: That looks bad. My apologies, you're what's known as collateral damage. It's nothing personal. [He touches her bracelet.] I love birthdays.
Caroline: Yeah. Aren't you like... a billion, or something?
Klaus: Well you have to adjust your perception of time when you become a vampire, Caroline. Celebrate the fact that you're no longer bound by trivial human conventions. You're free.
Caroline: No, I'm dying. [Klaus sits on the bed next to her and whispers to her.]
Klaus: And I could let you die, if that's what you want. If you really believe your existence has no meaning. I thought about it myself, once or twice over the centuries, truth will be told. But I'll let you in on a little secret. There is a whole world out there, waiting for you. Great cities and art and music, genuine beauty. And you can have all of it. You can have a thousand more birthdays. All you have to do is ask.
"This speech was so beautiful that if i wasn't already vampire, i would become one." Said Layla. Klaus looked amused.
Caroline: I don't wanna die. [Klaus lifts Caroline's head up and offers her his wrist.]
Klaus: There you go, sweetheart. Have at it. [She bites him.]
Klaus: Happy birthday Caroline.
Forbes Residence
[Caroline wakes up, puts her hand to her neck, and realizes it's healed. She sees a little, navy blue, rectangular, velvet-covered box with a note enscribed "From Klaus". Inside the box, there is a beautiful and expensive-looking gold bracelet with diamonds.]
