"New Life, New Enemies, Love"

Chapter 1 - Caroline

Caroline

"So if you promise to walk away, like you said and never come back then yes I will be honest with you. I will be honest with you about what I want." I yell at Klaus. He takes a step forward.

"I will walk away and I will never come back," he looks me straight in the eyes. "I promise."

I close the gap between us, looking at his lips then back up at him I say, "Good." Klaus smirks and I clash my lips to his.

I jolt awake, sweat dripping down my face with hair sticking to me. I find myself on the couch, I was trying to stay up to make sure my mom made it home. She has been working extra shifts at the police station. On weekends I come back home to stay with her, she hates working the night shift but with the lack of police and their knowledge of vampires she takes it upon herself to take the extra shifts.  Looking over at the clock the time reads four a.m. She should be getting home any minute.

*door bell rings*

My head whips around. Who is ringing my door bell at four in the morning? Quickly I get to the door and open it. The street lights meet me in the darkness, "Hello?"

I don't get a responds, moving my hair from my ear I use my enhanced hearing, still nothing. I step out hearing a crinkle on my feet, looking down a tan envelope with my name on it in black bold lettering is under my foot. Picking it up I walk inside taking a seat back on the couch. Turning the envelope around I open it, reaching in I bring out a stack of photos. There is a sticky note attached to the top photo.

Caroline, I need your help in New Orleans. Come. If you decide against my offer, why love, I would hate to see someone you care about very much get hurt.

What kind of sick twisted game is this Klaus! Ripping off the note the first photo I see is my mother at the local donut shop, the second she is eating supper with me at Mystic Grill and the rest are just her regular routine while at work, but the last one is her coming home last night! What the hell? Klaus is going to get a rude awakening when I get down there! If he thought Mikael was bad I will hunt him down longer for threating my mom!

Quickly I make it up to my room and begin to pack. I am so overwhelmed with anger right now I don't even know what I am packing, but it doesn't matter because I will not be in New Orleans long. Just enough time to hunt Klaus down, give him a peace of my mind, maybe punch him, tell him to leave me the hell along then I am gone. God! Out of all the ways!

Just as fast as I got to my room I am in the kitchen grabbing a water bottle full of blood to take with me to the airport and get me through the flight. I write a quick note to my mom that I am heading back to college and that I will call her later this week.
