Good to You

Chapter Nine

Caroline had been living in New Orleans for a little over a month now. Living in the same house with Klaus and Hayley. Elijah was supposed to be here too but he had just up and disappeared. But she didn't actually believe he just disappeared, she thought Klaus might have had something to do with it. He did have that nasty habit of daggering his siblings.

But if he did in fact dagger Elijah she wondered why. They had seem to be getting along fine from what she had seen but the relationships between Klaus and his family were confusing and complicated at best.

Then there was the fact that she and Hayley had been doing their best to avoid each other. She didn't know why Hayley avoided her but she knew why the hell she avoided Hayley. Being around her bothered her more than she likes to admit because then she would have to acknowledge why it bothered her so much to be around her. Sure there was the Tyler thing and how she betrayed him and the other hybrids and let's not forget the fact that she had snapped her neck that one time but no, none of that was what really bothered her when it came to Hayley.

No every time she looked at her she couldn't help but be reminded that Klaus had slept with her and now..now Hayley was carrying his child. That was what bothered her. She knew it was irrational. She had still been with Tyler at the time but it didn't make knowing that Klaus had been with her any easier. She was secretly glad that Hayley and Klaus only were together that one time. Not that she would ever tell Klaus that or anyone for that matter.

She had believed Klaus when he said that he only slept with Hayley once. He had never lie to her before and she didn't see why he'd start now. She knew he loved her honesty, he expected it and gave his own in return.

Things were still tense between them even more so with him practically keeping her locked up in this house, not wanting her to step one foot off the property. It was annoying as hell and grated on her last nerve. She was bored out of her mind most of the time. She missed having something to do. She had started reading through the books in the extensive library just to keep her occupied.

She missed Mystic Falls and even though she talked to her mom on the phone every day it wasn't the same as seeing her. She missed her friends and her old life. Her life in New Orleans if you could even call it that was a far cry from what her life had been in Mystic Falls and she couldn't help but blame Klaus for it. If he hadn't been so infatuated with her or obsessed or whatever the hell you wanted to call it, if it weren't for him she wouldn't have even been on the witches of New Orleans radar.

And it might have been petty and childish but she was always being difficult with him on purpose and was sure to not be in the same room with him for longer than necessary at best and refused most of his attempts at talking to her even though she knew it bugged him and grated on his last nerve. And it didn't help that things were complicated and tense with them at best, it helped that he was mostly off getting Marcel or whatever the hell his name was to trust him. It allowed her to keep to herself mostly which she actually preferred currently,

Caroline looked up from the book she was reading in the library when she heard a car drive up to the property and the sound of someone getting out of it. She could hear Hayley moving throughout the house probably down the steps, she slid a bookmark into the page she was on before closing the book and setting it beside her just as a familiar voice sounded from just outside the house.

"Elijah, if not answering your phone is part of your clever plan to get me back to this godforsaken city, then well done. I'm here and I'm worried. Now pick up before I kick in your bloody door."

Rebekah. Caroline could hear as she entered the house.

"Who the hell are you?" Hayley's voice sounded.
