Chapter 1

This could not be happening to her. This seemed more like an Elena problem, being torn between two guys and not knowing what she wants! But this was worse, so much worse that Elena's love for the Salvatore brothers, she was unable to sleep because of the most evil man on the planet- Klaus.

No! She did not just think that, with a frustrated groan Caroline shoved her bed covers off and gave up trying to sleep. For the last few hours she'd laid awake in bed tossing and turning trying to forget about the drawing he had left for her. She hadn't had much trouble dealing with his gifts before, the bracelet, the dress it was just him trying to show off! But that picture was different; it showed her and the horse she'd been saying hello to at the ball. It was one of the sweetest things she'd ever been given.

Giving her long blonde curls a brush Caroline decided she'd get dressed, okay she knew it was only 4am but she was really behind on her school work so why not get started early? Ever since she'd become a vampire Caroline had been having a hard time adjusting to the thought she was going to live forever, she knew that going to school was a bit silly seeing as her grades wouldn't be worth squat in another 100yrs but she wasn't ready to give up on her normal life quite yet. Plus even if her mum wasn't the greatest mum in the world Caroline knew that she'd freak if Caroline said she was leaving school!

At 8am Caroline finally gave up working, she just couldn't concentrate her brain kept bringing her back to the 2nd drawer down on her bedside draw where the picture lay. Instead she decided to go get a blood bag from the Salvatore house, she knew that she should have her own supply but why bother when she could simply steal Damon's instead?

However when she was drawing near the boarding house she noticed Elena's car pulling away and Elena was at the wheel and man did she look pissed off! Her brown eyes were narrowed and she was gripping the steering wheel so tight Caroline thought it was going to be left with permanent imprints on it.

She sighed, I guess the blood will have to wait I better go see what has got Elena all upset now she thought to herself.

That's how she found herself listening to Elena go on and on about Damon the 'vampire gigolo' to Bonnie. I mean honestly what did Elena expect? She knows how Damon had treated her in the past, using her as just a portable blood bag and getting her to do us his dirty work. It wasn't like this was the first time he'd done something stupid but Elena seemed incredibly shocked that he'd slept with the blonde original.

'What happened with you and Klaus last night Caroline?' asked Bonnie after Elena had finally stopped her rant.

'Oh nothing much,' Caroline replied 'we just danced and then he took me around his house until I got into an argument with him about Tyler and then I left.'

'You argued with Klaus? Have you got a suicide wish?' Elena cried

Caroline reassured her that she was fine and that Klaus hadn't hurt her. Personally she thought she'd hurt him more than he hurt her not that she was going to tell her friends that! She couldn't decide whether she should tell them about the drawing or not, it seemed kind of a private matter and it would only worry her friends and they had enough of their plates already without having to worry about the biggest bad in town 'fancying her.' Not that she really believed for one second he actually liked her I mean he was over 1000yrs old why would he be interested in an 18yr old cheerleader from a one pony town like Mystic Falls?

Caroline blushed bright red when she realised that Elena had been talking to her whilst she'd been thinking about Klaus.

'Sorry Elena, what did you say?'

Elena looked at her with concern, it was an expression that was very common on her friends face 'Are you alright Caroline, you had the most thoughtful expression on your face, were you thinking of Tyler again?'

Oh God Tyler! What was she doing thinking of Klaus when her boyfriend was out there trying to break his stupid sire bond just so he could be with her! She should not be spending hours dissecting every little thing Klaus had said to her at the ball and she should definitely not be thinking about how delicious his crisp British accent had been when he said he fancied her.

Ah crap! She'd done it again. Bonnie and Elena were now both looking at her as if she had some kind of problem, she could feel her face flushing and couldn't help thinking how unfair it was that even though she was technically 'dead' she could still blush. Damon would laugh his head off if he saw her now. Eventually Bonnie and Elena sent her home telling her she obviously needed rest.

Caroline sighed as she unlocked her front door, she pushed her way into the house and felt a tinge of sadness when she realised she was home alone again. She felt she lived by herself some days rather than living with her mum! She stripped off her jacket and kicked off her high heeled boots and began making her way up the stairs. She opened her bedroom door and saw a dark figure standing by her window.

"Hello love." He smirked.
