"New Life, New Enemies, Love"

Chapter 9 - Caroline

I thought that photo was so funny! Has nothing to do with this chapter. This chapter is bit of a filler chapter but the ending is important.
Enjoy ✌🏻

Caroline
Elijah had lead me to a small café with outdoor seating, I am currently browsing the menu, looking up I ask, "Since you have clearly been her before Elijah what do you suggest?"

Elijah looks up from his menu, "The crap with fruit is quit tasty," as the last word leaves his lips my phone beeps.

Klaus: Sorry Love, change of plans. Don't do anything rash.

I would be lying if I told myself that I wasn't disappointed but not in the normal way, I want answers. I know Klaus well enough that he isn't going to give me a straight answer. My thoughts are cut off when the waiter comes back with coffee for both Elijah and I, he takes our orders, I decide on what Elijah had suggested. After a few minutes I decide just to drive right in, Elijah is called the noble one for a reason.

"So Elijah," I look up at him after taking another sip of coffee, "What's going on around here?"

Elijah smiles and looks down at his hand that is resting on the table. "A bit upfront are we Miss Forbes?"

"I mean. Considering a one hundred year old suppose to be dead witch doctor knows my name, your brother refuses to even tell me anything besides that fact that he knocked up my ex-boyfriends play thing, I think I have a right to be upfront. Don't you?"

Elijah chuckles slightly, "I do agree with that but you need not to worry Papa Tunde, he was found dead this morning outside our door. His throat slashed."

"Not to sound happy about that but yah!" I shrug my  shoulders and begin to drink my coffee again.

"Yes I do agree but I feel we are just at the beginning. Miss Forbes may I ask what brought you here? Not to sound to fourth coming but I don't think you came here to visit my brother on your own accord." He raises his eyebrow, "Am I correct?"

Elena better be right about Elijah being the one Original a girl can trust.

"You are correct Elijah, an envelope needed up on my door step the night before I got here."

Elijah leans in, "Go on."

"It was late three or four A.M., I was waiting up for my mom. The door bell rang, it scared me half to death if I am being honest. Anyway I opened it and not a soul was there but this envelope that said my name. It had pictures of my mom and a note." No need to tell Elijah it also had images of Klaus and I together.

"And the note?" Elijah presses.

"It said to come to New Orleans, find Klaus or else something would happen to my mom." I take a sip of my coffee. "I thought Klaus sent it to bring me down here, I should have thought clearer but I was so mad I came rushing down here."

"Now you don't think my brother sent them?" Elijah chimes in.

"No I don't think so, he was to shocked to see me and then Papa Tunde said my name I knew something wasn't right. Besides it isn't really Klaus's style, he would have just came up to Mystic Falls." Our waiter brings our food back out and I begin to eat as Elijah opens his phone up.
