"Seriously?! Caroline Forbes?! From all the people in Mystic Falls, you could've brought with you, you choose to bring the most annoying, insecure control freak bitch in the world?!"

"Silence, Katerina!" Klaus commanded sitting with one leg underneath him on the bed next to the lying girl.

From outside he looked perfectly calm but another word from the doppelganger would've resulted in ending her miserable life. She felt his temper and decided to follow his order.

"Besides you should be happy," he added smirking at her while he pushed some of Caroline's locks away from her face almost tenderly. "You'll have someone to keep you company."

"I would rather go back to stabbing myself!" Katherine murmured.

Would I? she thought to herself and rubbed her sore knees, still bloody from that morning's stubbing.

Klaus smiled at her and then as if he had heard her thoughts he asked: "Would you, now?"

Katherine remained silent making Klaus' smirk to widen. They were at Alaric's apartment. Katherine still sat on the chair he had positioned her in the morning and Caroline lay on the king-sized bed next to where Klaus sat.

"All right enough stabbing for today!" he said finally breaking the tensed silence. "Go get cleaned up. I will need your assistance."

"For what?" asked the doppelganger almost mechanically while she stood to do as she was told.

"For punishing a really rude baby vampire," he said with a ridiculously sweet voice while tenderly stroking the blond vampire's cheek.

"Sounds incredibly like torturing!" Katherine replied with an interested smile playing on her face.

Klaus smiled evilly. Oh, Katerina, you have no idea.

"Don't take long, my dear. She should be waking up any moment now," he said, "We wouldn't want to keep her waiting now, would we?"

Klaus stood from the bed where the blond beauty was sleeping and decided to pour a drink. He could hear the shower running and he could also hear Caroline's cautious breathing. He knew she was awake. He smiled waiting for the blonde's attack. He didn't have to wait for long.

Caroline threw the covers away and raced towards the door, clearly, she had figured that in Alaric's form he couldn't catch her. Clever girl!

"What the hell?!" she exclaimed ah she tried to live the room from what it seemed the fifth time.

She pushed and pushed, again and again, trying to get through the invisible glass preventing her daring escape from happening. She had to get out; she had to warn her friends about Alaric.

"You're wasting your breath, love!" Alaric – Klaus said sitting comfortably on a chair. "That spell is powerful!"

Caroline then decided to race towards the window. She didn't care if people saw her jumping off a window. She would have a lot more trouble if she stayed there. But as soon as she opened the curtains the sun started burning her face. She cursed and backed away hitting the floor and moving away while trying to heal herself.

"Damn it!" she yelled between her cries. "My ring!"

"You mean this little thing?" said Klaus who was amusingly watching her efforts to escape. He held out the ring for her to see while smirking. "I think I'll hold on to it a little longer until I'm done with you. Not that it would make any difference if you were wearing it. This whole house is spelled love, you wouldn't be able to escape from the window."
