Revenge |Stefan Salvatore|

Familiar Faces

I ran for the woods trying to hold back my tears, but I just couldn't hold it in any longer. I stopped and sat infront of a tree, I had my head on my knees. I started crying really hard. I didn't mean to hurt Caroline...or kill her. I was just..so..angry...she almost killed me and Stefan saved my life...I still don't know why, I'm supposed to hate him. We're supposed to hate each other. I couldn't stop crying, I don't know why. I thought I only came here for revenge but am I actually starting to care about these people? I guess I am.

"Hello Love."
I heard a familiar voice and I looked up. I didn't know if I should be shocked, or happy.

"Klaus."
I forced a smile on my face. I realized he hadn't done anything majorly bad to me except for when we first met in New Orleans a few months ago. We got into this debate about who's more better at compelling people, I knew it was him but I denied it and continued arguing, he was having fun any ways, well we ended up playfully fighting, throwing each other at walls, then we became very close friends. Klaus said it was unusual to have a friend that he couldn't order to do things, but he also said that he knows he can always trust me, after all, I did help him regain his reputation in New Orleans...

Klaus knew something was wrong because he sat next to me and he put his arms around me, trying to hug me. I just laid my head on his shoulder and cried even more, I just couldn't stop crying, I felt so terrible.

"What's wrong love?"
I didn't know what to say, if I told him I'm crying because I killed someone, that would've made me seem weak, but I had to tell him.

"I killed someone today. And I- I don't know why I feel so terrible.
I sobbed, I tried to make my voice as clear as possible.

"You must be very attached to this person, usually when you kill someone, you casually walk away from it, who was it that you killed?"
I still didn't know why he was here, in Mystic Falls, but I didn't want to ask. You do not want to nose your way in Klaus's business, I learned that the hard way.

"I wasn't attached to that vampire Barbie, I was attached to her friends, the way they looked at me, like I'm some kind of ruthless monster."
For some reason he snapped quickly and got up immediately, I didn't know what just happened, did I say something that offended him?

"Jade, who. Did. You. kill?"
I stopped crying and looked up at him, his face mixed with anger and suspicions, he really wanted to know, I don't know why he was acting like this. I stood up immediately and wiped my wet face.

"A girl named Caroline."
I kept my voice straight because I didn't know how to act, is he mad? Does he know her?

"Caroline Forbes?"
He asked immediately.

"Yeah, I guess that's her last name."
I talked as calm as possible. The way he said her name, it's almost like he felt heartbroken. Silence filled the conversation, I think he spaced out or something.

"Klaus? Are you okay?"
He looked at me with wet eyes, I think he was about to cry but he kept it inside.

"Klaus, she tried to kill me. What was I supposed to do?"
Now he looks furious, it seems like he doesn't believe me.

"As if right now, you're supposed to run as far away from me as possible, I will make your life a living hell, then I will rip your heart out and slice your head off."
He looked really serious, which scared me, I don't know why he was so mad at the fact that I killed her, did he like or something?

"Klaus..."
I still didn't run, I wanted to know what's wrong, I still cared about him. He looked away and in a split second, he was gone.

I looked around, what the hell just happened? What was his problem?
I started to walk, I knew Stefan, Elena, and Damon would be wanting to snap my neck as soon as I got home, well their home. When I made my way inside the boarding house, I looked around, well this is weird, I don't think anybody is home. I walked in the large living room, still no sign of anyone. Maybe I should call them, or one of them, to make sure they're ok? Well they're probably fine.

I walked outside and looked around, it was really quiet. Suddenly I heard another person with a familiar accent.

"Jade Peterson."
I turned around and saw my favorite blonde friend from New Orleans, and Chicago. I just realized that I had gotten very close to most of the Mikaelsons, even before I was a vampire.

"Rebekah!"
She smiled at my excited response, then she came closer for a hug, I missed her so much, it's been a while since we last saw each other, she is basically like my only best friend, other than my sister. Who is dead, because of Stefan.

"How is your revenge plot against Stefan working out?"
She smirked at me after she asked that question, she knew about my revenge plan because I told her back in New Orleans, before I left and hit the road.

"Not good."
I frowned, I was having fun with torturing Stefan, but now I kinda felt bad after he risked his life for me.

"And why is that?"
She asked me with her furrowing eyebrows.

"I don't know, I was having fun torturing him and everything, but now...I just... I don't know."
I looked down, I didn't know what I was feeling, was I actually about to forgive Stefan? Or did I already forgive him inside.

"Oh my, Jade, are you?.."
Her voice trailed off, I think she was trying to imply if I was falling for Stefan. I snapped immediately, I wasn't falling for Stefan, was I? No, no no no, I can't be.

"What!? No!? I'm not...no!"
I sighed and looked around, it's dark already, wow, this town can be so creepy sometimes.

She just smirked at me as if wanting say 'Yeah..sure you're not."
I just shrugged my shoulders and smiled at her.
