First of all, as we all know, I do not own ANYTHING about the show or the books. I wrote this fanfiction with the characters from the show, not the books. There is no connection between this fanfiction and the books, it is all my imagination and all my fiction. English is not my native language so please ignore my grammar mistakes. Thanks!
"A new day, a new beginning…" she reminded herself as she left the house to go to school. She was happy and grateful because she was still alive—or technically dead. She still couldn't believe the fact that the person who saved her was Klaus. There must have been something, obviously… otherwise that monster wouldn't save her. He had no reason to do that.
Just as she was opening the door of her car, she noticed the bracelet on her wrist. Yes, she wore the bracelet that Klaus gave her, so what? It was beautiful and expensive… just like Caroline's taste.
She was feeling guilty to have worn it though, but she couldn't help it. The bracelet was lying on the table, with that little card, "from Klaus" written on it. It looked charming and it was impossible to take her eyes off of it. And then she just wore it. Replaced it with the one Tyler gave her. Actually, this was the thing that made her feel guilty. More than feeling guilty for having worn the bracelet, coming from a monster who had killed lots of people she loved, she was feeling guilty for replacing it with Tyler's one.
While thinking about whether what she did was right or not, her phone rang. It was Bonnie calling.
"Hello?"
"Hey Caroline! Are you coming to school today?" she asked with a cheering voice. She was probably trying to sound happy.
"Yeah, I am on my way." Caroline replied and hung up the phone. Because going to school meant she was going to see Tyler and she absolutely didn't want it. Yet, she kept driving because today or tomorrow she was going to face him eventually.
Finally Caroline found a place to park her car in the school and saw Tyler waiting for her in front of a tree, with his arms crossed on his chest. She took a deep breath and got out of the car. She pretended as if she didn't see him and tried to walk past him but he grabbed her arm and made her face him.
"Caroline, please. We need to talk." He said with a low voice. His face look awful, as if he didn't eaten anything for three days. He was hungry, that was so obvious.
"No, Tyler. I don't wanna talk. I don't even wanna be around you because you are sired to a monster who forced you to kill me and that means you are a threat to me!" As she spoke the truth, she regretted it. She said everything she had been thinking for a month loudly and now they seemed real. So real that she couldn't handle it. It was painful.
Tyler let her arm go and took a step back. Hearing these words coming out of her mouth… "I am sorry Carol." He had nothing else to say. She was right. He was a threat to her. No matter how hard he tried to resist Klaus, he was never going to be able to do it. He was his hybrid. Klaus was his master. His bloody damn master!
A few teardrops fell from her cheeks, feeling heartbroken. There was nothing to be done about their relationship anymore, it was all over…
She was looking at the bracelet that she was wearing. It was charming… Really, she couldn't stop looking at it. But when a sound came across the room, she jumped with panic.
"Did you like it, sweetheart?"
Her eyes opened wide with the horror she felt when she saw Klaus in front of her. He was standing right there, smiling.
She was confused. "Are you… are you here to—" She didn't want to continue. She was scared. And the only thing she had in mind was to run as fast as she could. But her feet didn't obey her. One side of her really wanted to stay there, hear what he was going to say.
"Oh c'mon Caroline. I just came here to see you wearing my present. I hope it pleased you." He said and with a blink of an eye, he was inches away from her. Their faces were too close. It scared her.
"Yes… I… I like it so much, thanks." She said, feeling uncomfortable.
"So finally, you broke up with that twit?" He asked her, not smiling this time.
She knew he was talking about Tyler. "Yes."
He looked amused. "You did well my dear. He seriously is a threat to you."
"As if you are not!" She replied, feeling angry.
"Well, what can I say? You have pretty good reasons to think that way about me." Then he laughed, and his laughter filled the room. She had never seen him laughing before. It was strange… It felt strange to be having a sweet conversation with Klaus.
She couldn't help it and smiled back. It was so unresistable.
He looked at every inch of her face. Then he caressed her cheek with a small touch which made her feel relieved suddenly. She didn't know why but his light touch meant a lot to her… And then there he was, giving a warm kiss on her lips.
She was in shock and she couldn't move. No, no, not this…
"Good night Caroline." He whispered into her ear and disappeared into the night. She just kept looking at the door he left. She touched her lips, still feeling the warmth he left on her lips. She closed her eyes, tried not to think about it but it was obvious that she was never going to forget it.
"It's going to be hard to sleep tonight." She thought to herself and went to bed…
