The Vampire Diaries: Fallng In

Falling In: Chapter 4

No heartbeat.

Nothing.

One word came to mind and it about killed me.

Vampire.

A vampire. He's a vampire, and I thought he was human. A human being. But he's not. He's a vampire, and maybe I'm overreacting, but...this can't be happening. Stefan didn't want me to go on the date because he knew. He wanted to keep me safe, like always. He was right. I shouldn't have gone on this date. Klaus is a vampire, and I'm one too, but part of me wished he wasn't. It makes it complicated, and I have enough complication to last me a lifetime. Elena was worried because she new. But how? Elena doesn't know about vampires. Unless she does, she was with Damon, a vampire, for about four months. She must've figured it out. Did she know I was a vampire? Why would she keep this from me? And Stefan, he just wanted to protect me and I pushed him out. Stefan. I can't shake him. But Klaus, I liked him a lot. I barely know him though, and why is he here? Why would he come to Mystic Falls? Klaus must've noticed the confusion on my face when I pulled away because he asked me, "Caroline, are you okay."

I lied, "yeah I'm fine, so what time will we be going home?"

I needed to get out of here, get away from Klaus.

"We can leave now if you want?" He looked hurt that I wanted to leave already.

I wanted to stay, but I can't. He's a vampire, and I can't trust him.

"Yeah let's leave now."

*30 minutes later*

As Klaus pulled up to my driveway I said bye and thank you. Then I quickly got out and ran inside.

When I ran in Stefan was there in my living room.

"Caroline, I think we need to talk."

"Yes we do, Stefan."

I grabbed Stefan and pulled him upstairs to where my mom couldn't hear our conversation. We took a seat on the couch and Stefan asked,

"So I'm guessing you found out?"

"Yes, I found out! He had no heartbeat! And I'm freaking out because he probably knows that I'm a vampire too! And how do you know?!"

"Caroline, I can't explain right now. But you'll find out soon. Okay, just trust me."

Who am I supposed to trust? Stefan was the right answer, but I truly had no idea. Klaus is a vampire who is untrustworthy, and Stefan was trustworthy. But for some reason Stefan couldn't even tell me what was going on with Klaus.

"You know that's exactly what Klaus said today when I asked him about Elena. He said to trust him. What are you, Elena, and Klaus hiding from me?!"

Stefan rubbed his hands up and down his jeans figuring out what to say. It's his way of thinking.

"Well?!" I said.

"Caroline, all I can tell you is Klaus is a vampire, and Elena knows about him and his intentions in Mystic Falls."

"His intentions? What's that supposed to mean?"

His intentions? Why was Stefan holding so much back from me? And what does Elena have to do with this? I have so many questions but no answers.

"It means he's here for something, Caroline."

"No duh! But what's he here for?"

"Look Caroline, just stop seeing him and it will be all good."

"I can see whoever I want to. And if I want to see Klaus I will. You can't stop me. Now tell me why I can't see him or I won't stop."

I didn't need to know why Stefan didn't want me to see him to not date him. I would do that on my own, but I had leverage against Stefan. He wants to keep me safe.
