Something I had learned at an early age, was Trust. I was always taught to not trust anyone, no matter what. It didn't matter if they were considered friends or family. It didn't matter if you felt like they had no cruel intentions. Everyone can be bought. Remember that. Anyone could pull that rug out from under you if it benefits them in some way.

And that is something I always hold true. Which was why I was awake at five in the morning. Knowing I had to leave before Caroline woke up. Or before her mother woke up for work. I had no intentions of seeing the rug pulled from under me. But when I went to leave the room I was occupying, I heard voices. Someone was angry. My eyes looked down to see one of the triangles on my wrist glowing a soft blue glow.

"You have something of mine, Caroline. I want it." I heard a male speak. He had to be one of my mates. Had to be. I could feel it.

"I have no idea what you are talking about, Klaus." Caroline told him simply. Trying to come off as innocent as she looked.

"The Dopplerganger has already told me of her. In exchange of her family's protection." This Klaus guy seemed to be speaking calmly right now. But I could feel his anger building. "Oh, I can feel you lurking, love." I jumped back slightly at his voice. I closed my eyes as I realized if I could feel his anger, he could most likely feel my fear.

"She doesn't want to meet you, Klaus. Leave her be." Caroline told him. I heard something slam. I had thought it was the door at first, but I was wrong.

"INVITE ME IN!" Klaus demanded in a shout. I flinched further from the door. Swallowing hard as I felt the feeling of fear truly wash over me. My body felt like someone had thrown a bucket of ice water over me.

"I don't think so." With that, I heard the door actually close, before I heard footsteps walking towards my door. Klaus shouting from outside the front door still.

"ONLY WE CAN PROTECT HER, CAROLINE!" He roared out, trying to get the blonde to change her mind. "CAROLINE!" I jumped when a knock sounded on my door.

"It's okay, Vee. He can't come in." Caroline said through the door. I slowly peeked the door open. Making eye contact with Caroline instantly. "It's okay." She reassured with a soft smile.

"He isn't going to stop until I leave with him." I told her. My words came out fast, I knew better. I knew I was risking her life and her mothers. I had learned my lesson before.

"My mom can take the day off. We can have a girls day or something just us." She offered. "Also, Klaus will have to leave eventually. He has his own problems to take care of." I tilted my head at her, nodding.

"I'll leave when he does then." I told her. Caroline frowned, looking past me to see the bed was already made and everything.

"You were about to leave just now." She realized. I nodded.

"It's the best option." I told her.
