Her foot connected, sending Klaus down on one knee for a moment. He growled and whirled back around to face her, fangs bared. Even in his own world, he didn't look entirely the same as normal vampires. His fangs were different, the color of his eyes a feral gold. Surely she would figure out soon that she wasn't dealing with your typical supernatural creature. Klaus was certain that, once she did, things would go very differently. If she knew what was good for her, she would turn tail and run. At the very least, he looked forward to seeing and feeling the fear that he was positive would inevitably wash over her.

Klaus easily avoided her attempt to stab him, offering a low chuckle as he wiped away his own blood she had drawn. "A vampire? No," he sneered at her. "Fancy yourself a vampire hunter, love? I'm afraid you're barking up the wrong tree. I'm much more than that. I'm an Original. A hybrid," he lunged again. "And I'm immortal." He made a grab for her throat. Fighting wasn't really his style; Klaus preferred to settle things quickly and efficiently. When he did fight, he sought to end it as swiftly as possible. This brawl had already gone on too long for his tastes. As he came at Faith once more, Klaus moved with more purpose, clearly aiming to find an opening to move in for the kill. Only one of them could make it out of this alive after all - and Klaus was confident it would be him.

He felt the turn in the tide, picked up on the weakness she feigned, and Klaus moved swiftly to take advantage. He moved forward, making a grab with the intent to rip her throat out. But as Klaus stepped forward, Faith was there to meet him - far from the weakened opponent he had expected her to be. The stake easily pierced his chest, cracking through bone and plunging into his heart. Klaus could feel the organ collapse and he instinctively reached to grab hold of the wooden weapon. Klaus felt his legs buckle and he grabbed wildly for Faith, a half-hearted attempt to keep from collapsing completely.

As his knees gave out, Klaus glanced down at the stake embedded in his chest and let out a guttural groan. He managed to stagger backward, his back colliding with the wall and then his legs finally left him and he slid to the ground. Blue eyes wide, he gaped at the wound as the blood seeped out, darkening his shirt. "No...," he trailed off. "No, no, no," Klaus gripped the stake, voice cracking. It wasn't just any stake. It was the stake; the only true nemesis to his immortality. He was oblivious to Faith's own concern and shock. "It can't be," he whined, the words desperate and pained. This... human, this insignificant stranger had been the one to kill him?

"What have you done?" he demanded of her, choking on the words and gasping for breath. "What have you done?" he wheezed out the words again in his best attempt at a shout. Klaus's hands hovered over the stake, afraid to pull it out. Afraid. The fear was numbing and all-encompassing and horrific. Who was this girl? How had she managed to kill him? What of his siblings? Klaus shuddered and coughed, blood bubbling up in his mouth. He stared at Faith accusingly before he stared off unseeingly. "Caroline...," the name was mumbled, barely audible as he let his hands fall by his sides. Would they even know he'd been killed?

For the first time in his exceptionally long life... Klaus was terrified and he didn't know how to truly react.

The sound of Faith's heart was pounding in her ears, she could her him talk to her, but she wasn't able to do anything about it. She looked at him, her body shuddered, this man wasn't a vampire, he would have exploded into ash. She should go get help, Faith should have, but when he started to demand what did she to him, she smirked at him.

Stepping closer, she knelt down next to him, "Looks like you are wrong," she breathed, then chuckled as the blood came from his mouth. "See ya, hybrid." Faith stood up and walked off.
