"Mom!" I yell, out of breathe from my jog. No answer. Dammit! "Dad!" I see a note on the table. It's folded perfectly in half. I open it and read:

Caroline,

This is harsh, we know. But you must know, you have been a shipwreck lately. We decided it's in your best interest to move out. Not just move out, but move to. Move to London, England. Not alone, of course not. We are selling you. To Niklaus Mikealson. He is now in charge of you. He will pick you up at 5:30. Be ready, he has a bad temper. Don't deny him. He is your guide. He decides what you do, when you do it. You have no say in anything anymore.

-Lina and David

They didn't even sign the card mom and dad... a single tear slips out of my eye, and then I quickly wipe it away. These bastards don't deserve my tears. They weren't even good parents. Maybe when I was little... but not for the past ten years. They are hooked on heroin and have been for a while. I rip the card into many little pieces then throw it out the half-way opened window.

"Bit of a temper, huh?" I jump, startled. I turn around and there is a handsome man, British if I may add. "Sorry, did I startle you love? Perhaps I should introduce myself: I am Niklaus Mikealson. Call me Klaus. I assume your parents already told you about the.. arrangement. Well, come on. We have a long flight ahead of us."

Klaus extends his arm out for me. I laugh, like really laugh. Who does he think he is?

"Well, Klaus. I don't know what my parents promised you, but I'm sure as hell not going with you. So I suggest you leave before I call the cops."

Now it's his turn to laugh.

"Love, you don't seem to know what I am, or what I can do." Klaus says smirking.

Okay.. what the hell is going on now?

Suddenly there is a whoosh and he is not in front of me.

"Klaus..." Silence. "Klaus.."

"I'm here love." I hear Klaus' voice behind me. I turn around to see nothing. "Wrong way love." This time his voice is coming from the left but when I look there he is not there. What the heck. Suddenly he pulls me into him. He puts his mouth dangerously close to my ear and whispers, "You have fallen far from heaven love, so I suggest you get ready to change everything you have every believed in."

What? "What the hell is that supposed to mean? What are you?" I whisper weakly, I meant to sound strong and intimidating, instead it came out as less than a whisper.

"What do you think?" He whispers.

"I don't know! I don't know! Klaus I don't know.." I start to cry, "everything is changing. I don't understand. You are so fast, wolf-like fast. But, no... that's not right you are too strong..."

"What am I, Caroline? What am I!" He is starting to shout. He squeezes me tighter, pulls me closer. "I'm fast, like a wolf. I'm stronger than any human you've ever met. And, let me let you in on a little secret, I can get you to do whatever I want you to... so tell me, Caroline Forbes, what am I?"

"A... you're not a human. You're a vampire." I say, then a sudden fear consumes me. No, I am not Bella and this is not Twilight. Things like this are just impossible.

"Ding! Ding! Ding! We have a winner. Now, like I said before lets catch our flight, shall we?" Klaus whispers while pulling me by my wrists outside of my house. I'm to scared to fight back though, this changes everything.

"Wait! Prove it! Prove that you are a vampire!" I say while refusing to move forwards. Klaus shakes his head and chuckles. Then, he swoops in my face, and red veins show up under his eyes, and fangs come out.

"Love, now I have a temper and we have just missed our flight... there is another way to get there though, just hold on tight."

"W-what?" I don't even have time to process when I feel my legs being pulled from underneath me. Everything around me is a blur. I grip Klaus tightly and watch in pure amazement.


"Ah, now that wasn't so bad now was it?" Klaus asks me once we are in front of a mansion, Klaus' I assume. I just shrug, not wanting to admit how I liked the magic of it.

"Now, this is when the fun starts." Klaus says. "I am however a little preoccupied with my siblings, so Sam, my house servant will be telling you the rules, and our arrangement."

Suddenly a middle-aged male shows up greeting me eagerly. "Well, Caroline, as you know I am Samuel Smith, call me Sam. Come." He extends an arm out and I grab it wearily, because I didn't notice Klaus left.


"So, Klaus has servants, if you hadn't noticed. And he has a power, to live forever. He is strong, and can compel people to get what he wants. Your parents, are drug addicts, which I presume you knew. Klaus gave them some Heroin, so he could have you. You are his. Don't forget that. Okay? Do not say no. You and Niklaus will be sharing a bedroom, due to the fact that you have stolen his attention. He sees something special in you. Maybe, it's looks. But all of us other students are happy, we think you have the ability to change him, make him good again..." Sam tells me as he shows me around the mansion.

"Me? You are all insane. No way in hell will I am staying in the same house as that monster! I don't know if he compelled you or what but I need help to get out of here! Sure, nobody loved me at my home, but nobody loves me here either! I need to-" I was cut off by Klaus.

"I'll take it from here Sam, go." Klaus tells Sam while he yanks me into 'our' bedroom.

"You do not insult me in my own house!" Klaus yells, "Now I am forced to punish you, I wasn't hoping to have to do this... tonight."

"Do what?" I ask fiercely.

"This he whispers." Then he jabs his lips to mine.
