Fifty Shades of Klaus

Chapter 9

I make my way to the mouth of the mansion. Giving it a light knock, I wait. No longer than two minutes after my knock, the door opens; holding it is a petite woman with jet-black hair. Her skin is a hint darker than Bonnie's, but her face wasn't familiar at all. I confess to making very little research about their family but I'm very sure that there are only two Mikaelson women.

Who is this? "I'm here to see Klaus?" I said. She didn't reply. She just stood there, suspiciously staring intently into my eyes. I flinch in discomfort. "Klaus Mikaelson," I clarify.

She glares at me with an aura of dominance surrounding her. I gulp. Who is she?! "You're not on the list. Kindly leave immediately."

I gape at her. This is unbelievable! Elijah forced me to come here only so that their butler — or whatever she is — could tell me to scram? No. I'm not letting this happen. "Could you double check? I'm Caroline Forbes. I'm here for the interview."

Rolling her eyes for what seemed like a decade of silence, she smirks arrogantly. "I've said it once and I'll say this again. Not. On. The. List." It's taking all of me not to attack her. Outrageous! Just incredibly, maddening.

"You didn't even check!" I spat. Sighing in exasperation, I mentally decided to go back home. This is pointless. I am not sitting by and allow their family to make a fool out of me. Before I was even able to turn my back to her, I hear a woman's voice in the background.

"Mindy, what did I tell you about opening the door?" she pauses, "Didn't I tell you never to open the door for us, especially when someone's in the mansion?" That sexy, sultry voice doesn't leave my long-term memory. That was definitely Katherine.

Mindy turns her head to face Katherine with a terrified expression. Gone are her arrogant smirks. "Lady Katherine," she whispers. The sexy Bulgarian approaches her in a domineering manner. She circles around the servant and makes a "tush" sound.

Stopping before the direction Mindy was facing, she takes several steps closer to her, totally invading the girl's intimate zone in terms of social distances. She gives Mindy's eyes a good stare. To my surprise, I see Mindy's eyes dilate in the strangest way possible. "This is Caroline Forbes. She's Klaus' friend. Every time she comes here, you let her in. You respect her. Do you understand?"

"Y-Y-Yes."

Giving her a wicked smirk, Katherine relaxes and crosses her arms. She preserves the intensive glare, "Now, why don't you run along with your dogs and take a walk. I'll handle it from here."

Mindy nods at her and turns away, still in the trance. What was that? Did she just hypnotize her? She couldn't have. "Caroline," she says, greeting me while trying to be cute.

I couldn't play with her right now. I am appalled! "What did you do to her?" I shout.

Rolling her eyes, she gives me a smirk. "What are you talking about?" she says, nonchalantly.

"I don't know! You hypnotized her or something! How did you do that?" I spit.

She closes the space between us, invading my intimate zone just like she did with Mindy. She looks into my eyes. I see her pupils dilate and gaze into mine. "You didn't see anything. Forget about what you saw."

I took a step back. "You're doing it again. You're trying to hypnotize me!"

Katherine gulps in an alarmed manner. Her eyes filled with confusion and worry. She doesn't grasp something here. There is something that isn't normal. She doesn't understand why I didn't comply.

I suddenly hear another voice from the inside. A blonde beauty appears in front on my eyes. She came out of nowhere! I jump. "So, you are the infamous Caroline." She circles around me, looking at me from head to toe, "You look more like dinner to me." She gives me a menacing smirk. Letting out a little moan, "Your neck gives me a generous whiff of your blood. I suddenly remember how thirsty I am."
