A blonde in time

Chapter Fifteen

She wasn't what she expected. When she thought of Davina, she imagined someone slightly taller, a demeanour that screamed 'I am better than you', and would look at Caroline with disgust.

Instead the cheerleader received; a 5'3 tall, 15 year old brunette, who was very beautiful, and seemed as though she really needed a friend. And she also had an adorable pout.

"Oh, I am so keeping you." Caroline went into shock as she realised that she said that out loud. It earned a laugh out of the young witch, so the blonde smiled in relief that she didn't make the girl feel uncomfortable. "I so did not mean to say that out loud. You're Davina, right?"

"Yes, I am. I assume that you're Caroline?"

The curly haired blonde nodded. "It's a pleasure to meet you. I heard a few things about you but I really look forward to getting to know you."

Davina didn't know what to expect from Caroline Forbes, but she certainly didn't think that she would be so cheerful. She was nervous about meeting a vampire and living in a new place, but her nerves disappeared as soon as she saw the girl. The aura around her was making it impossible to feel anything but good emotions. 'Maybe it's her positive attitude.' She wondered.

"Caroline! Who's at the door?" A woman's voice called out from somewhere in the house.

"It's Davina, mom!" Caroline replied before motioning for the brunette to enter.

The younger girl stepped into the house and quietly asked, "Does she know about the supernatural?" Wondering if she has to be careful about exposing her magic.

"Yes she does. It was a rough road for her to be ok with vampires because she was raised to hate them. She was a vampire hunter, along with the founding families. My mom and Mrs Lockwood are ok and they keep our status secret." The vampire explained. "I'll explain it more later."

Davina nodded in acceptance as her fears diminished. "At least I know that there is a happy ending."

Caroline smiled brightly and led her new friend to the living room.

The vampire had went on a cleaning spree as soon as she received a message from her older witch friend, and her mother stayed out of her way to avoid being criticised for any random thing. It was times like that that she loved being a vampire because it shaved 20 minutes off her usual cleaning routine.

She watched Davina look around curiously, slowly taking everything in. She didn't know much of what her life was like back in New Orleans, Ayana never went into detail and Caroline didn't ask. It seemed like a 'don't ask' situation. The blonde, despite everyone believing that she always wanted to know everything, knew when to not ask questions. And it helped that the dead witch gave her enough details to satisfy her.

Liz Forbes had waited a few minutes before she decided it was time to introduce herself to their new guest.

The Sheriff had been told that Davina was going to be under Caroline's care. She had seen a very detailed PowerPoint presentation as to why she should agree to let stranger into their home and look out for her as if she were Liz's second child. The woman could not argue with her daughter when she had a very persuasive argument, and she trusted Caroline to not do anything that would put herself in danger.

Liz knew that there was a lot of work to do on her side because the town would talk if they saw some random girl suddenly appear and live at the Forbes residence. She didn't need the drama surrounding that. Knowing that the girl was 15, she knew that she had to get school records sorted out, she may have had Caroline do a bit of compulsion to get them sorted quickly and so that there would be no questions asked. Then there was the fact that the young witch was going to have people looking for her, so she made a fake identity under the pretence of the girl being put into witness protection.
