He halted and kept his back to her as she spoke. He turned his head to the side as he listened to her explanation. Swallowing hard, he couldn't believe what he was hearing. That's what hell was like? She'd lived it, she'd been there.
Slowly, he turned to face her and watched her facial expression change as she explained her torment to him, reliving the memories with each word she spoke. She was on the verge of breaking down in tears and he actually felt her pain.
Moving over to stand by her, he lifted his hand and hesitated a moment before resting it on her shoulder. "I'm...sorry, Katherine. I didn't know..."

He swallowed and pulled her into him without speaking. He'd damaged her before, broken her and caused her to always look over her shoulder for centuries. And now, she had been tormented by hell hounds and made a different person. No wonder she seemed different.
He ran a hand over her hair and hugged her to him, not something he normally did, ever. But one thing no one really knew about him was he could not stand to see a woman cry, especially a woman he cared for. What was happening to him to care for her now?
He cleared his throat and pushed her back a bit, attempting to remain stoic. "You know I'd never let anything or anyone hurt you, Katherine. You have my protection...even being hell hounds, I am sure I could hold my own." He said confidently.

Katherine tensed in surprise as he pulled her against him into a hug. She relaxed after a moment, allowing her head to rest against his shoulder.
"You're such a liar," she muttered softly, but there was no real contempt in her voice. She tilted her head at him, and smiled faintly.
She shook her head slightly, and let out a breath. "I don't want to feel like this, Klaus. This paralying fear that leaves me incapable realizing what is real and what isn't."

He looked at her and thought about how he could help her. "I could make you forget it all...your time in hell. I'm sure an original is quite a match for the fires of hell and I'd love to give it a try." he said with a smirk.
Brushing hair from her face, he smiled faintly and lifted her chin. "Do you trust me?"

Katherine met his gaze and frowned. Did she trust him? No. No she didn't trust him. He had given her no reason to trust him. She licked her lips.
"Trust has to be earned, Niklaus," she answered truthfully. It would probably anger him, but she didn't want to lie. She let out a breath, and then reached up to unclasp her necklace. She paused, and then let it fall from her fingers to the ground. Without the necklace he could compel her to do anything, think anything, feel anything.

He almost got angry at her words but he watched as she took her necklace off and let it fall to the ground. She was giving him her trust and he had to make sure he didn't let her down. To quell her pain, he would do this for her.
Smiling softly, he met her eyes and slipped a hand on her cheek as he waited until their gazes were locked. "You do not remember the torment you endured in the afterlife of Hell. It was a lonely black void with nothing but silence and your thoughts to occupy your time. You grew bored, you grew anxious but never fearful. You are safe, you are happy and you are human." He said softly as he compelled her.

Katherine met his eyes and her body relaxed. She heard his words echo in her head, and her tongue flicked out to lick her lips.
"It was bleak, boring, but I wasn't afraid," she repeated. "I'm human...but I'm happy."
She let out a breath, feeling as if something had been lifted off her shoulders. She didn't remove her gaze from his, locked in the trance that compulsion created.

He held her gaze a moment later and then finally looked away from her to break the compulsion. "You shouldn't be out here alone. The woods are a dangerous place, Katherine." He moved his hand from her face and then stepped back as he continued to look away from her. "Go back home. I'll be there later."
His eyes glowed with the fear, anger and pain he'd taken from her and he didn't want to frighten her by looking at her. Turning from her, he began to walk away from her and called out to her since she hadn't moved, "Now, Katherine!"

Katherine blinked several times, taking a breath as the compulsion was broke. She frowned slightly, and looked up at him as he growled at her about being in the woods. She bent slowly to pick her necklace up from the ground.
"I can take care of myself, Klaus," she spoke, her voice voided of the fear she had earlier had. "The scariest thing here? Is you..."
She frowned as he snapped at her, and she tilted her head at him. She paused, then stepped forward to rest a hand against his back.

He heard her words and knew the compulsion had worked, continuing forward until she felt a hand on his back. Klaus halted at her touch and fought to control himself before lashing out at her. He swallowed thickly and slowly looked over his shoulder at her.
"I'm fine, Katherine." He said, his voice a bit clipped and strained. The wolf inside was clawing its way to get out. She already feared him now, and if he turned now she would always fear him. "I must go. Please do yourself and me a favor and try not to get killed..." He said before slipping from under her touch.

Katherine narrowed her eyes slightly, and took a step back from him. She swallowed, and crossed her arms over her chest. He was bi polar, had to be, not that it really surprised her.
"Fine," she snapped at his back. She licked her lips and turned away from him to head back in the other direction.
