Chapter One
Caroline Forbes was one of many things. The over achiever, Head of the green club, Chair of student council, Part of the beatifications committee; And most of all, she was Caroline Forbes. Daughter of the sheriff in town, and of course, the girl who thought she was never the one. It was the middle of the night, and Caroline found it extremely hard to fall asleep; Of course, it could be the fact that she was no longer in high school, and Tyler said he was coming back tomorrow night.. Not that, she didn't want him to come back, she just didn't like the idea of being told broken promises again. Especially if they were about Hayley who was supposedly his friend. Every part in her would love to decapitate her head from her body at any given moment, but it wasn't Caroline. Not the Caroline with humanity; and she would never stoop to that level of pain, not after seeing how it made Elena. The blonde haired vampire turned to her side as she noticed how full the moon was. It reminded her of the very first night she had helped Tyler with his transition; or the night at school when Klaus had turned Tyler into a hybrid... Klaus. Right, he was leaving tomorrow for New Orleans; the offer she had turned down, and strangely enough that very sentence had made her heart clench. Possibly because of the fact he wasn't going to be around anymore, but isn't that what everyone wanted? Maybe no one ever gave him the chance to redeem his harsh actions; Surely she did because she had let him under her skin so many times with no intentions. Those words he said to her graduation night.. Were the ones that showed her his humanity.
“Tyler is now free to come back to Mystic Falls. --He is your first love, but I intend to be your last.” The memory was fresh in her mind as if it had happened moments ago. Klaus loved her. Klaus, the evil hybrid. But to her, he wasn't evil. She saw his humanity. The blonde haired vampire shook the thoughts as she noticed the glimmer of light that had found it's way through the beige curtains that hung above the wooden floor. It was already morning and she had found no sleep at all; for the fourth night in a row. Thank god she was immortal or else she would have unattractive bags under what she liked to think as he eyes. Caroline let out a frustrated groan before pulling the covers over her head. Once she realized rest was out of the question, she tore the blankets hastily away from her body and decided to get ready. What she had planned for the day was obviously something that had been decided during her session of the dangerous late night thinking; Caroline was going to say goodbye to Klaus.. as much as she hated saying good bye, it was the least she could do. The silhouette she saw while stepping in front of the mirror frightened her. She was looking at herself, instantly thinking of everything she had gone through since becoming a vampire-- Stefan, her best friend was gone, along with Bonnie. All she had left was Elena, but Damon was occupying her time more than ever. Stefan had gone somewhere to think, and he wasn't answering any of his phone calls which made her even more mad. Everyone she cared about was walking out of her life, and she really hated that. Drowning in her own thoughts again, she decided it was unhealthy.. and she should get out after saying goodbye. That word was depressing in it's own way, in fact more than one way if possible. Once she completed her morning ritual, The hair curling was brought to near perfection whilst staring at herself blankly in the mirror. The blonde decided to wear a dark floral dress, some black ankle boots, a cream colored braided belt, and her light brown leather jacket. For being summer in Virginia, it was extremely hot. Her make up was brushed up with mascara and a little blush, topped with lip gloss just to finish it up. Not that, she wasn't making herself look extra pretty this morning. It. Was. Just. Klaus. The thought of him leaving should make her smile, even be happier. But all it did was make her feel... she didn't know how to feel.
“Mom I'm going--” Caroline's yelling cut short as she went through the hall, remembering her mother was always posted at the sheriffs office.
“Oh, right you're never home.” She mumbled to herself with a roll of her eyes. There was never a simple time for the young girls life, she had no mother-- and now she was beginning to lose all of her friends.'Maybe going to New Orleans with Klaus wasn't such a bad idea after all...” she thought.
