Chapter 19 'distant And Danger'

Caroline's  pov

It's been a month since I agreed to stay away from klaus, a month since I've seen him and a month since we have spoken. He hasn't been at school. People say it's because he's moved again, that no one's seen anyone from their family.
I went back to school a few days after the encounter. It was difficult at first because I was always nervous just in case I saw Tyler but I haven't seen him either. Apparently he transferred school. Which I'm relieved about. Emma has tried to talk to elena and me, but we've blanked her. I miss hanging out with her but I can't bring myself to forgive her for what she done. Training with Ben is more difficult now that I know about klaus. But I'm sticking to it, I've been getting stronger, which is what I wanted. I want to be able to protect myself.

I walk through the school halls with a smile on my face, looking forwards to today. Kol is throwing a party tonight, me and elena are going to go together. Pretty much the whole school will be there so it's going to be epic. I spot elena near our lockers, but without her usual happy expression, instead a cold nearly scared expression plasters her face.
I walk over to her and smile at her, she just states at me, a distant look in her eyes. I frown and put my hand on her shoulder but she flinches away, causing my hand to drop to my side.
"hey, what's wrong? You don't look so good." I say with concern lacing my tone. She avoids eye contact.
"I just feel really sick. I didn't sleep much last night." she whispers. I frown, not buying it but she clearly doesn't want to talk about what's really going on, so I don't push her on it.
"aw no, do you still think you'll be okay to go tonight if you go home now and get a couple of hours of sleep??" she thinks about this for a minute before nodding.
"yeah I'll still come. I'll go home and get some sleep like you said. That should help." I smile at her and nod. I hug her goodbye and then she leaves. I sigh and hope she feels better by tonight.
I start my walk to class, realising I'm late for class and there's nearly no one in the hallway anymore. I speed walk but stop suddenly when I spot a familiar face across the hallway staring straight back at me.
"klaus" I whisper to myself, feeling my breath catch in my throat. He kind of smiles at me but then instantly loses any expression. He stares blankly at me for a minute before turning away and walking to class. I feel my chest tighten and relief rush over me, he didn't leave.
I walk to class with a slight smile on my face now, a big part of me is happy he's still here, the other part of me doesn't know how to feel because although he's still here, we can't talk to each other. We have to pretend each other doesn't exist in the others world. And I keep questioning if I'm capable of doing that...

I manage to get through the rest of the day with the help of my brothers and kol. They always make me happy no matter what the situation at hand is.
I walk out of school with kol laughing about something that happened in class. When I'm about to get into kols car to go to his to help set up for the party, I see klaus stood at his car staring at me with a cold expression on his face. We make eye contact for a second before it's broken by kol opening the door for me.
"mi lady" he says while makeing a dramatic gesture with his arm towards the car. I laugh at him and then look back up to find klaus driving off. I sigh then look back to kol and smile, getting into the car.

Once we reach kols House we set up for the party with Ben and jake while blasting music through the house. Theres bottles of alcohol on every counter you see, lots of drinking games set up and sun beds next to the pool. Tonight is going to be amazing.
Before I know it, there's only half an hour until the party starts so I quickly go to kols room to get changed onto my outfit. A tight black dress that rests mid thigh and really shows off my body shape. I look hot.
I hear a knock on the door and yell for the person to come in. Kol walks in but stops in his tracks and stares me up and down before he looks me dead in the eye.
"you look.. Amazing" he says, with an awe struck tone. I see his pupils dilate as he stares at me which makes me smirk. I put a hand on my hip and flip my hair over my should.
"i know right" I giggle. And he laughs. We smile at each other before going downstairs to find people arriving and some people already drinking. I look through the crowd and find elena standing near the front door by herself. I walk over to her and hug her but she pushes me away. I frown at her and fold my arms over my chest.
"okay what gives? You've been really off all day and don't say it's because you're sick." she rolls her eyes at me.
"I don't want to talk about it, I need a drink" she snaps before barging past me. I open my mouth in shock, okay did that really just happen?! I start to go after her but I'm stopped in my tracks by kol grabbing hold of my wrist. I stare at him for a second. Maybe tonight is a night we all just get to let go and have fun, forget about the rules.
"don't, just leave her, she'll get over whatevers wrong with her soon. Just give her space and come dance with me" I contemplate his offer while staring at elena. I turn back to him and smile.
"okay, but first. Tequila shots!" he laughs at me and nods. We go over to the strong alcohol section and grab 3 tequila shots each. We quickly down them and after we finish I scrunch up my face. He laughs at my reaction and then pokes my nose.
"you're cute little one" I pout at him calling me cute before an idea pops into my mind. I smirk at him and grab his hand, leading him to the dance floor. When we reach the mass of bodies dancing with each other I turn so my back is against his chest. I place his hands on my hips and start moving my body against his to the rhythm of the music. His grip tightens on my waist and he pulls me in closer moving along with me, nuzzling his nose into the crook of my neck. I lean my head back and shout over the music.
"am I still cute now?" he chuckles before whispering into my ear
"adorable" I smirk knowing what he's doing. I turn around and wrap my arms around his neck, his hands move from my waist to just above my bum. We continue to move against each other, the fiction sending electricity through my body, heating it up. I lean my face into his neck and kiss it. I feel him shudder before he moves his hands to grip my ass, pulling me impossibly close. I nibble a little at the skin making him moan slightly.
"still adorable?" I whisper against his skin.
"god no" he says before grabbing my face and kissing me intensely. I can't help but think to myself, what the hell am I doing? I shouldn't be making out with him. But he's just so.. Irresistible right now. We pull away from each other but continue to stare at each other, the sexual tension clearly building up between us. He takes my hand and drags me up the stairs. We both know this is a bad idea but neither of us are willing to stop it. We walk into his room and the second the door is closed, our lips are back on each other, hands groping at each others clothes trying to get them off as fast as possible. But before we get any layers off, the door opens and elena walks in, looking terrible. I immediately pull away from kol and rush over to her, putting my arm around her.
"elena, are you okay? What's wrong?" She looks up at me with a blank stare before her her eyes turn red with black lines..
My whole world stops in that second. I don't have time to process the fact that my best friend since forever is a vampire before she says sorry and then lunges at me, her fangs digging into my neck. I scream out in pain, probably not heard over the music. Kol rushes over to us.
"Elena what the hell!" he tries to pull her away from me but she pushes him with a force so strong he hits the wall across the room and collapses to the floor, unconscious. I feel my body going limp as I state at kol.
Suddenly she's being ripped off of me and I hear the faint sound of talking and someone leaving. Just as my vision starts going I see klaus' face appear above mine. He says something but I don't hear. The next thing I know, everything's black.

I wake up the next morning in an unknown bed, with pyjamas slightly too big for me, but clearly are a girls. I hold my head as it pounds repeatedly. I try to recall last night's events, I remember dancing with kol, going up to his room and then.. Oh my god Elena!! I immediately sit up in bed and grip my neck, but find no blood and no wound..
Just as I'm trying to figure everything out, the door opens and klaus walks in. He makes eye contact with me and frowns.
"you could have died last night. Why didn't you tell me she was a vampire?!" I shake my head in disbelief.
"I... I didn't know." I whisper to myself. How long has she been one of them? How many people has she hurt like she hurt me. Klaus sighs before moving over to my side and pushing my hair to the side, looking at my neck.
"good, it's healed properly" I stare up at him confused.
"how did it disappear??" I question him, clearly he knows.
"I fed you my blood which healed you. Vampire blood can cure any wound." I nod, taking in the new information.
"where is she?"
"she's with my sister, we're trying to figure out what happened." I look at him with a confused expression.
"if she was turned by someone Caroline then that can only mean one thing" my eyes widen in realization.
"there's another vampire in town.."
