His body still ached. A part of him couldn’t acknowledge what had happened to him, how Klaus had captured and possessed him. He couldn’t do anything about it. It was as if he was watching what Klaus was doing but was unable to stop him. This frustrated him more than he wanted to admit - not that anyone was banging down his door. Luckily, his life afforded him privacy. Other than Damon’s occasional drop by or text, he was pretty much left alone. And if Damon did call upon him, it was for his help and not a conversation about their feelings.

No.
“Klaus,” he said, up and alert now, coming to his feet. He was in a clearing in the middle of a forest. The sun was rising and he was alone. How far away from Mystic Falls was he? He pulled out his cell phone and dialed Damon’s number before realizing it wasn’t connecting. He checked the number of bars.
“Piece of shit,” he said, flipping it closed again. He decided to head in a direction. But, if this was some game of Klaus’, he wasn’t in the mood.
