ch.4

I smiled as I entered the kitchen. "you seriously can't just eat waffles for breakfast like a normal person, can you?" I asked. Klaus was sitting at the counter with a book in his hand.

"who would just want waffles when you have this, love?" Klaus asked while gesturing to the trays of food on the table.

"I literally lived off waffles when I was pregnant," I said.

"I don't think that is healthy," he told me.

"nothing about my life is healthy, physically and mentally," I said while grabbing a slice of toast. I've been living there for more than a week now and all of them had started the same way. 

"you realise there was crumpets too," he called out to me as I walked upstairs.

"yes, but no," I called back out to him. I heard him laughing to himself.

                                                         |

while I was play with grace, I got concerning call from Caroline telling me that my dad was in hospital. Tyler lost control and lashed out on him. I was almost gaging on tears. I hanged up on the call. I asked Klaus to look after grace while I went to the hospital. he said it was fine.

after that I ran straight there. I saw Caroline talking to someone and ran over to her. "where is he?" I asked.

"Ashley, are you okay?" Caroline asked.

"what do you mean am I okay. I don't care if I am okay where is my father." I snapped.

"yeah. umm, can we take him home now?" Caroline asked the woman she was talking too.

"I sighed his discharge papers late last night, just to shut him up," the woman said.

I ran my hand down my hair still trying to wrap my head round this.

"tell your dad I said you're welcome," the woman said and walked off.

we walked around the corner to find Elena. "that was fast," she said.

"yeah, he's not here. he was discharged late last night," Caroline said.

"call him," I said.

Caroline nodded and dialled out dad. Elena started talking, but Caroline hushed her. "I can hear it," Caroline said, looking around. 

"hear what?" Elena asked.

"my dads phone," Caroline said.my heart dropped as Caroline moved closer to a supply closet. I pushed past her and ran into the room. I ran towards the sound of my fathers ringing phone. I could hear Caroline and Elena calling after me, but I didn't stop until I saw him. I screamed again, seeing my father.

he was sitting on the floor, his throat was silt. he had several cuts going across his chest and a knife sticking out of  his stomach. I ran towards him, falling onto the ground, Caroline followed. "dad, dad! daddy, please wake up," I sobbed.

Caroline was panicking just as much as me. "don't be dead! don't be dead!" she begged.

she grabbed the knife and pulled it out, throwing it to the side.

"daddy please," I sobbed.

"Ashley, Caroline, he has vampire blood in his system," Elena said behind us. we glanced back at her.

"what!?" I asked. my father suddenly gasped wake, my heart sank even further. I knew how this would end and it would tear Caroline apart.
