Caroline F. (TVD)

Parties and Hybrids

Caroline's POV

We had been discussing our plans on how to approach Niklaus. Apparently he is a hybrid. Half werewolf, half vampire. It seemed almost insane.

"I still think he might be a werewolf."Damon finally decided to pitch in on ideas.

"Well how would we find out?"Bonnie was looking through her spell book with Jeremy at her side.

"We could piss him off and see if he lashes out."Damon smiled.

"Yes, because everyone wants to be eaten."Matt gave Damon a look and rolled his eyes.

"I got a dress from Niklaus this morning--and a note."

"A note? Why did he send you a dress?"Elena looked at me eagerly with anticipation.

I told them what the note said and described the dress.

"The dress sounds beautiful."Bonnie smiled observing my facial expressions while explaining the dress's details.

"Wait, so he calls himself Klaus?"Matt questioned me. I shrugged and watched people leave as the bell rang.

I decided to leave first and go to the mall for a different dress. On my way to my car Niklaus confronted me.

"Hello Caroline."He gave a friendly smile that killed me inside.

"Hello Klaus."

"Klaus?"

"That's how you signed the invitation. It just slipped."

"It's alright. I like how you say Niklaus better though."

"I recieved your gift this morning. You didn't have to."

"I know."

"Then why did you?"

"Simply because I knew you would like it. Did you not?"I sighed alittle bit. He was sweet, but if he was the hybrid then he's killed millions of people and I couldn't trust him.

"I did like it. Thank you."He nodded and began to walk away. No goodbye?

"I hope to see you at my families ball."He barely spoke to me as he quickly disappeared.

Caroline's POV

I hadn't managed to find a dress that was prettier than the one Niklaus gave me. I didn't want to seem weak and give into his needs.

It was almost time for the ball and I pulled everything out of my closet. Nothing. Finally I gave in and slipped on the dress. It fit perfectly. How did he know my size?

I pulled into the Mikaelson estate and waited for Elena in my car.

"Knock, knock."Elenas face lit up through my window. Her dazzling brown dress went perfectly with Damons attire.

Matt was wearing a nice suit with a blue tie. Bonnie and Jeremy matched with a green and white dress and green bow tie.

"You look amazing. Niklaus has good taste."Elenas eyes widened as she observed my dress and shoes.

We all walked into the mansion, all arm in arm.

Stefan was already there and standing at the fountain pouring champagne.

"Still depressed over Elena leaving you for your brother?"Stefan shrugged and chugged down a glass of champagne.

"Any news on our problem?"I shook my head and sat his cup down.

"Dance with me."He obliged and took my hand.

"Why are we dancing Caroline?"

"You need to learn to move on. You love both Elena and Damon, so you need to be happy for them."I tried to talk sense into him for a couple songs that played.
