The conversation underlined is the direct dialog from VD (everything NOT underlined is mine).

Who's your Daddy Now?

Klaus was in the middle of trying to handle multiple things at once; remodeling his new home, getting his family back together and now having to teach his new puppy who the Alpha dog was.

"You called? I'm here," said Tyler with an annoyed tone in his voice, "what happened?"

Klaus noticed his tone but decided to let it go for that moment.

"What happened was Stefan had two paths to take and chose the one to make me angry. I need you to help me do something about that?"

"Can't you just leave me out of it?"

"What would be the point of that?
"Seriously man, can't you just get one of your other hybrids to do your bidding? I lost my friends, my girlfriend…"

"Right, your girlfriend. Umm, about her, I need you to bite her."

"What?"

"Don't make me repeat myself."

"A hybrid bite will kill a vampire."

"Yeah, I know exactly what it will do."

"What in the hell is wrong with you? I'm not biting Caroline!" Tyler said with fearlessness in his eyes.

Klaus could see how much Caroline meant to Tyler.

"Alright, alright. I'm disappointed but it's your choice, free will and all that. I'll find another way to strike at Stefan. In the meantime, I see there is another issue that needs to be cleared up."

"Oh yeah? What is that?"

"It would seem that you could use a lesson on knowing and respecting who your authority figures are."

"What in the hell are you babbling about?"

Klaus just stood there for a moment not believing the disrespectful tone coming from his young hybrid puppy.

"I created you. I'm your leader, master, big boss if you will; but, with you it's more than just that."

Tyler started to get a little nervous but not enough to back off.

"More?"

"Yes, you were my first successful hybrid creation. You will always be the most special to me. Consider me," Klaus paused and thought for a moment, "your new daddy; and as such, you will show me respect. You may not like what you are being told but you will not disrespect me with an attitude like you have displayed towards me today."

"Oh really?' Tyler dared to provoke, "what are you going to do about it?"

Klaus shook his head at Tyler's cockiness. In the corner of his eye sitting on the working table was a 3inch wide, 3 inch thick and 10 inch in length piece of ply wood. In less than a second Klaus had picked up the ply wood, bared Tyler's bottom and had him bent over on the table. Tyler was in shock.

"What are you doing!"

Klaus ignored his question and began spanking his naughty hybrid son. Tyler yelled out in pain. He tried to escape but his strength was nothing compared to Klaus. He did everything he could not to cry. He was only able to hold off for a minute. Klaus had no intention of backing off soon. He continued to spank the disrespectful boy for several minutes. Tyler gave in and began to sob.

"I'm sorry! Please, please sir, stop! I'll behave, I promise!"

He continued for another minute before he did stop. Tyler's bottom was as red as red could be. Klaus put down the ply wood and dressed Tyler just as quickly as he had first began the punishment. Tyler's hands immediately went to rub his sore bottom as his tears continued to stream down his sweet boyish face. There was no doubt to Klaus that he got through to him. Tyler looked very humbled. Klaus placed a comforting hand on Tyler's shoulder and gave him direct eye contact.

"You do understand why I had to do that, right?" Klaus asked.

Sniffle, sniffle.."Yes sir."

"Alright, good boy. Now go and I'll call you later."

Tyler nodded and turned to leave. Klaus started to look at the blue prints for the house but stopped Tyler as he was almost half way out the door.

"Tyler."

He turned around without hesitation. "Yes sir?"

"Who's your daddy now?"

He smirked, "You are sir."

"Bloody right….alright, I'll see you later."

Tyler walked back to his car still in shock as to what just happened. He couldn't believe he was just spanked like that. His own biological father never even did that to him when he was alive. At first he wasn't sure but then a comforting feeling fell upon him. He now had a father figure back in his life. He reached his car and carefully sat down. He was truly humbled and his bottom was on fire. As painful as the spanking was Tyler was grateful to Klaus for not letting him get away with his attitude. He felt now that someone finally cared enough to keep him in check. He drove off teary eyed; but, with a smile he could not hide for he felt that finally, he belonged.
