So, I'm Caroline?

Chapter 27 - The Talk

Forbes Residence

"Hello, Caroline." Klaus answers pleasantly, I can almost see him smirking right now. "To what do I owe the pleasure?"

I let out a sigh to help release some of my pent up worry "The doppelgänger lives in my town."

There's a long pause, then when he speaks again his voice is low and dark "How do you know about that?"

"It's a really long story and how about we have that talk after I tell you that if you kill her then you can't make hybrids?"

"If you're lying to me then I will kill you."

"How rude, I'm giving you information you brat."

"I am an original, I could tear out your heart and be done with it and if this is some kind of joke I'll do much worse then that."

"No shit? I'm nearly shaking in my combat boots. How about instead of being a paranoid. .actually, keep being paranoid. It's healthy and maybe you won't die as long as you skip the over abundance of enemies or something."

". . . ."

"Wow, awkward silence." I mutter with a small
chuckle of nervousness, I'm not good at this "is the original hybrid speechless?"

"Care, it may just be my imagination but I'm pretty sure it's unwise to antagonize the Hybrid original." Damon says with a sigh as he looks at me flatly, I raise an eyebrow at him as I begin pacing my room.

Alaric snorts as Klaus speaks up, his voice sharp "Who is listening to this conversation."

"Oh, just my friends. They aren't all for the whole 'call the badass original' plan of mine to avoid countless unnecessary death and drama. Your brother should be in town today by the way."

"How could you know this?"

"It's a long story?"

"It always is love and I will get it from you even if I have to kill you."

Damon grabs the phone out of my hands and glares at me when I go to snap at him, placing his finger over his mouth in a shush motion. I stand beside him and listen, "Come on, you know that she's too cute to kill."

"and who is this?"

"Damon Salvatore, one of her friends."

There's a pause then "You don't happen to be related to a Stefan Salvatore do you?"

"He's my brother." Damon replies flatly as his eyes narrow "now, how do you know him?"

"All in due time. Is she lying?"

"No, she prefers blunt force trauma by the way of words actually."

I huff "I try to be gentle." He raises an eyebrow at me as Alaric begins to quietly chuckle, I grab the phone from Damon and roll my eyes.

"Hey Klaus, fancy a trip to Mystic Falls?" I ask him after a couple beats of awkward silence "I'll explain what's going on and how I know and all of that stuff when you get to Mystic Falls okay. It's not exactly a. ."

"Okay." He says sharply "but if this is a trap or a trick I will kill you and everyone you've ever known love."

"Got it hot shot. Just don't be a dipshit and ruin all of my less dramatic afterlife" I say back cheerfully as I hang out and let out a sigh. "Mason plans on coming over with Tyler later doesn't he?"

"Yeah, that's punk." Damon says with a huff "Why are we letting Tyler come into this?"

"Because he's going to help Mason lure the pack he runs with here remember?" Alaric states blandly "are we sure this is even a good idea? Vampires die from werewolf bites."
