"So, we're hanging out after school right?" Elena was taking all of her books out of her locker and shoving them into her backpack.
"Yeah, I was thinking we could go shopping and then maybe go back to my house and watch movies or something." I shut my locker and leaned up against it.
"Good plan. I'm definitely in a major need of a girls night." She smiled, zipping up her bag.
"Same here! Gosh everything has just been so crazy lately."
"I know. Let's not mention anything vampire related tonight, okay? I've had enough of vampires." She laughed and pushed my shoulder.
"Ugh same, those vampires are just so over-dramatic." I jokingly rolled my eyes holding back my own laughter.
"I honestly forget your a vampire sometimes, Caroline. Let's just meet at your car after school, alright?" She smiled and said while walking off to class.
"Perfect. See you there!"
The school day dragged on for longer than it should have. It was friday, and I just didn't want to deal with it anymore. I spent the better part of all of my classes creating a detailed shopping list. A girl can never have enough shoes right?
The last class of the day I decided to just get a head start to my car. I mean it was only geometry, when would I ever need that in the real world? Plus, I was going to be around for…well…ever. Skipping one class wouldn't kill me. I had this strange strong feeling that I really needed to miss that class. I walked outside to my car, letting my hair flow with the wind. It was a gorgeous day out, clear blue sky and about 70 degrees. Perfect time to just sit in my car with the windows down and the radio on.
I got in my car and turned the key in the ignition.
"Fancy seeing you here." Klaus had his feet up on the dash board with his hands in his pocket.
I jumped about a foot in the air when I heard him talk. "Damnit Klaus! Has anyone ever told you it's really not a good idea to sneak up on somebody like that?" I gave him the typical what-the-hell did you just do look.
"No. Not that I would listen if anyone had told me. I do my own thing." He stared at me and smiled a devilish smile.
"Okay…" I paused, looking down at the keys and then back at his face. "Um that wasn't creepy at all? What are you doing in my car anyways?" I asked him shutting the car completely off.
"Let's just say I had a hunch that you were going to ditch your last class today." He laughed and sat up straighter.
"Oh. That's weird. I was actually going to use this as my alone time for the day. Just waiting on Elena to get out of class and then we're going to go shopping and stuff. Just need my alone time, so could you kindly get out of my car." I tried to be as polite as possible.
"That isn't part of the arrangement actually." He started at me with a blank look on his face. "Now, switch seats with me."
"What are you talking about? This is MY car. And I have things to do this afternoon. No." I shook my head at him
"Yeah, I was afraid you would say that. Sadly I don't believe this is an option, love." He curled his upper lip in to revel his two fangs and let out a warning growl.
"Real cute. Too bad that doesn't scare me. You're not that tough, Klaus." I laughed. It really was humorous to watch him do that, mostly because I've seen it so many times before. He is clueless if he thinks I'm that new to this whole vampire charade.
He folded his arms up to his chest and now made a puppy dog face. "Oh dear. I really thought that one would work too. No matter." He laughed and turned to face the passenger side window.
I looked out my own window. That's right Klaus, just stop talking. I thought and smiled, I was satisfied with myself for being able to stand up to him.
"Just one more thing, though." He turned back to me, this time his smile went away and his face was completely straight.
"What now?" I said, annoyed.
"Get out of car." He said firmly.
"Alright alright." I don't know what made me do it, but I opened the car door and got out. He did the same.
We both walked around the back of the car. When we got to the very back he stood in front of me, not letting me walk around to the passenger side.
"What are you doing? You asked me to switch so I am…if you would just move." I put my hands on his shoulders to try and move him but he wouldn't budge. Instead he pushed me up so my back was leaning against the trunk. Klaus put his arms on my shoulders so that I was pinned down.
"What are you doing?" I squirmed under the weight of his arms on me.
"You are in for quite the evening my love." He crushed his teeth down on my neck so hard that I heard a popping noise followed by a loud snapping noise.
"OW Klaus! STOP that really hurts!" I yelped, not as loud as I would have liked too but the pain was too much to handle. It felt like someone had just lit a knife on fire and thrown it full force at my neck.
He pulled back from my neck, his mouth covered in blood. He let go of his grip on my shoulders and wiped the blood off of his mouth. He helped pull me up so that I was standing face to face with him.
"I'm sorry, love. I don't know what came over me. I am just so attracted to you that's all." He looked away at the ground, looking almost guilty.
"Erm. It's okay," I rubbed my neck, it was already healing. "I'm going to get in the car now." I started walking and turned my head back to just watch him.
"Good. We have a long drive ahead of us," We got in the car at the same time, and he watched me buckle my seatbelt. "Now I want you to sleep, love. I'll let you know when we get there." He suddenly got closer to me his face was nearly inches from mine. I nodded my head and everything went black.
