Innocence

Chapter 4: Books from Elijah

When I got home from Rebekah's house, I went upstairs, and all the girls were in their pajamas and it looked like they were up to no good. They kept laughing and laughing. They stared at me when I walked into the door.

"Hey guys!" I said as I walked in.

"Hey Scar!" Elena said.

"Hey Scarlet! Where were you this afternoon?" Bonnie asked.

"Oh, I was at Rebekah's house doing a science project." I said as I got dressed in my pajamas which was a Cookie Monster onesie.

"Rebekah's house? Oh god." Caroline said, slapping her hand on her forehead, "please don't tell me you ran into her 4 brothers." She said.

"Actually, there's 3. One of them died." I said.

"Whatever. Did you meet them." She said, like that was the main focus of the conversation.

"Yes I did. First Kol, then Klaus, and then Elijah." I said.

"Well who do you like the most?" Elena said curious.

"Um, I'd say Elijah." I said.

"Oh wow. The sophisticated one. Never saw that coming." Bonnie said.

"Hey! He was so sweet. But when I met Klaus, he had a drawing of Caroline on his desk." I said trying I hold in my laughter. We all laughed but Caroline.

"I'm gonna kill him." She said.

"Please don't. But Rebekah did warn me about him." I said.

"About what?" Bonnie laughed.

"About how he has a bad temper and he will do anything he wants to get something and that he's usually not good in relationships." I said.

"Well she's got that right." Caroline said.

"How would you know?" Elena asked concerned.

"Oh please. I know Klaus enough to answer that question." She replied to Elena's question. Eventually, we all talked about stuff until 11pm, and we all went to bed.

The next morning was Saturday morning and I was happy that it was the weekend. I was the first out of bed, and I walked downstairs. I didn't feel hungry so I just opened up my laptop and started to play Sudoku, when Mrs. Forbes came downstairs.

"Hey Scarlet. You sleep well last night?" She asked.

"Yeah! Thanks Mrs. Forbes." I said, "Have fun at work!" I said as she walked out the door, and she smiled and waved and walked out the door in her police uniform.

I then heard a noise in the house, and I looked at the front door and saw nothing. I shifted my eyes to the couch, and saw Damon freaking Salvatore, the substitute teacher sitting on my couch. I said nothing to him.

"Hello Scarlet." He said.

"Hi Damon." I said as I closed my laptop. My phone buzzed, and I opened the text.

It read:

Hello love,
I have the drawing for you ready for pickup. I worked on it all night since I couldn't sleep. Come over when your ready. I'll be home all day.
~Niklaus

I smiled at my phone, and Damon was watching my every move. "Who texted you? Boyfriend? Old friend? New friend? Or just friend?" He asked curious.

"None of the above." I said as I ran up the stairs and into my room. I went into the closet, and examined all the clothes in there. I eventually took out a pink sundress, and sandals. I let my hair down, and I curled it. I also did my makeup lightly. I grabbed a white knitted-sweater jacket to go with my dress. My hands quickly grabbed my phone and my black over the shoulder bag. I walked over to Klaus' house, and knocked on the door.
