Chapter 1:
Caroline awoke slowly, looking around her room before sitting up in bed and gently touching her neck. It was completely healed. Not even a scratch. And then the strange memory of last night hit her like a brick.
"Had that really happened?" she thought to herself.
"No, it must have been a dream." She reassured herself while stretching and waking herself up completely.
There was no way the evil jerk that had been tormenting her and her friends for months saved here life. Right? And even if he did the things he said to her had to be a dream. Right?
Caroline started to get up when a rectangular box on her nightstand caught her eye. She grabbed the box and was shocked to see that the note said it was from Klaus. If she new better she would have thrown the gift away without a thought, but she let her curiosity get the best of her once again, and opened the gift. She gasped when she saw what was in the box. It was a beautiful diamond bracelet, with real diamonds by the look of it.
"Shit." She muttered to her self, still in shock by the gift, and at the realization that last night really did happen. But why was he so sweet to her? It must be a part of his master plan, she though to herself. And she was surprised that a part of her was kind of sad at the thought. She looked down at the bracelet that was currently on her wrist, the one from Tyler. Caroline ripped of the bracelet and threw it on her bed. She couldn't throw it away, but she couldn't wear it right now either. Not after what Tyler did last night. She stood up and placed the bracelet from Klaus next to the one from Tyler. She couldn't help but feel that this was slightly symbolic, but Caroline shook it off and shoved both bracelets in the nearest drawer.
She looked over at her clock, and realized that if she didn't hurry, she would be late for school. She flashed around her room using her vampire speed, and got dressed in a flash. She wanted to make it out of the house before she ran into her mom. She wasn't ready to talk to anyone about last night, and she knew her mom would have questions about Klaus. Questions that she wasn't sure she even knew the answers to. Luckily her mom was still asleep by the time she left.
As soon as Caroline pulled into the school parking lot she was swarmed. Matt practically attacked her as she got out of her car, and asked her about ten times if she was okay.
"I'm fine really. Not even a scratch." Caroline insisted, trying to get to class so she didn't have to answer any of Matt's questions about Klaus.
"Wait up Caroline," Matt shouted while trying his hardest to keep up with her.
"Listen Matt, I'm fine, okay? And I don't want to be late to History."
"Since when do you care about History?" Matt asked suspiciously.
"I love history. It's the highlight of my school day, actually." She said sarcastically and then turned to walk away.
"Why are you acting so weird?" Matt asked, not letting it go.
"I'm not acting weird okay? I just don't feel like talking about last night, and I know you're going to ask me about it," Caroline said, a little more persistent this time.
"How could I not? You were alone in your room with a psycho hybrid for a while, I think I have the right to ask questions," he said defensively.
"He gave me his blood, and then he left, that was it." She said starting to get annoyed.
"Why do I feel like you're lying to me? What happened in that room with Klaus?" Matt said. He knew Caroline too well, and she wasn't the best liar.
"Did I hear my name?" An all too familiar cocky British voice asked.
