*A/N*- Hello lovely ladies and gents! I hope you all enjoyed my last multi-chap story and are as psyched for this new one as I am! Let's begin shall we?
Caroline Forbes nervously twirled her long blonde ponytail around and around in her left hand. Today was her first day at the notoriously known Mystic Falls High School. She didn't want to be here, she missed her old school, her old house, and her old friends. But most of all Caroline missed her dad. Her parents had just gotten out of a slightly heated divorce. It was only slightly heated because her parents knew that their marriage had crumbled long ago and were honestly relieved to be done with it. Having a father that was more interested in Paxton, the local mail man than his wife was all the grounds for divorce Caroline's parents needed. So with the divorce now over and her parents officially separated, Caroline and her mother moved across town to the tiny suburb of Mystic Falls, Virginia. Caroline hoped that she wouldn't be a complete outcast at her new school. She hoped that by the grace of God, she'd earn herself at the very least one friend by the time the school day was over. She hoped.
Caroline walked up to the front office window of her new school hastily.
"Hello, my name is Caroline Forbes. I'm here to pick up my schedule," Caroline announced to the lanky, hawk-nosed woman who sat behind the window, trying for a cheery tone of voice.
The woman smiled and slid the sliding glass of the window open.
"Caroline Forbes," she said in a perfect southern drawl, "I'm Doris, nice to meet you dear."
Caroline felt herself smile a genuine smile, when she had hoped to make a friend at this school she hadn't been discriminating on just who that friend would be. Maybe this Doris woman and she could become buddies.
"It's very nice to meet you too Doris," she replied still smiling brightly.
Doris nodded and swiveled around in her rolly chair. She started shuffling through a file cabinet until at last she pulled out a sheet of paper from one of the many folders that the cabinet housed.
"Here you are sweet pea," Doris said as she offered the paper out to Caroline.
Caroline took it and scanned it over quickly. Her first period was history. That isn't so bad, thought Caroline happily. She had always been fond of history. There was something about it that made her feel as if she could travel back through time, to a time much more brilliant and lovely than this one, it spoke to the fantasist in her.
"Thank you," Caroline said and turned to leave, in hot pursuit of her next class.
Doris grinned and waved her off, "Good luck Caroline," she said.
Caroline nodded and rushed off, licking her lips. She just might have needed that luck after all.
"Shit, shit, shit," Caroline muttered under her breathe as she continued to frantically check room numbers.
She couldn't believe she had gotten lost. How difficult was it to find one little class, especially in a school this small? Mystic Falls High was only made up of 2 levels; Caroline's old school had had three floors, plus a basement.
"Room 505," Caroline read from her schedule and continued to walk down the long hallway that she was in.
The class had to be on the ground level, in the basement. Caroline needed to find stairs. After turning several corners and a great deal more of overall frustration, Caroline eventually located the set of stairs in the school that led down to the basement. The ancient stairs creaked and moaned in response to the new weight that Caroline put on them. She made her way down them quickly; she didn't want to miss first period all together. Caroline shivered and brought her hands up to hug herself as she felt the cold, moist air that the ground level of the school provided. She went about checking the room numbers of the classes once more. The next door she came to had the labeling, "Room 375" on it. If Caroline just turned the next corner she came to, she reach the 500's range for sure. She let out a deep sigh, "Almost there," she said to herself quietly.
In all honestly, Caroline was itching to get out of the poorly light, dank hallway she was in and get in a safe, warm and inviting class room.
She squared her shoulders and forced a lively smile as she rounded the corner at last.
Then she hit a wall. Or rather, a person so hard and lean that they could have very well been a wall. The person was much taller than Caroline and they loomed over her in a freighting manner. Their face was masked by the dark shadows that the eerie basement supplied. Caroline lost her balance and began to fall to the cemented floor. Just before she could though, the spindly, icy cold fingers of the hard, towering being in front of her, snaked around her waist. Caroline screamed a scream so harsh and blood curdling that it quickly died to one that was immensely painful and sickly silent.
"Shhh, shhh. It's okay, it's okay, you're safe," spoken in a soft British accent, were the last words that Caroline heard before she saw stars whirl before her eyes and her world went black.
*A/N*- Woops! Caroline fainted! But on the bright side… Hi Klaus! Anyway how'd you guys like the first chapter? Caroline's a little nerdy/shy in this one, just like many normal teen girls (I'm sorry but sometimes it's just unbelievable how everyone on this show is portrayed not at all like your average awkward teen! Lol) And I know Mystic Falls High school is definitely creepy in this chapter, but don't worry it won't always be like that. Are you ready to meet, Stefan, Damon, Elena, Bonnie, Jeremy and Alaric (R.I.P. Alaric :() in the next chapter? :) Did you love it, did you hate it, or was it just okay? Thanks for reading and PLEASE REVIEW, REVIEW, REVIEW!
