Chapter 1 Show me your teeth

It's funny how you go through the year day by day but nothing changes, then when you look back, everything's different. It was the last day of the summer holidays and senior years was right around the corner, I started this year as normal Caroline Forbes, I wasn't anyone special I was Elena Gilberts best friend along with Bonnie Bennett. Was being in the past tense they started hanging around with the Salvatore brothers and seemed to have left me out of their cosy little party. Well I didn't care because this whole summer I've had Tyler all to myself. Well that was until a few weeks ago when he too started to acted strange. It kinda hurt when I walked into the mystic grill and saw them all sitting there together with their heads together in close conversation.

My alarm woke me painfully early on Monday morning, I got dressed and made my way down the stairs, I didn't hear my mum moving around in the kitchen so I thought she may still be in bed, when I got to the kitchen I saw a note on the table

Caroline,

Honey I've had to go to school early, have a good first day.

See you when I get home tonight

Love Mum xxx

Typical ever since the Salvatore's moved to town she had been working like crazy I hardly got to see her, I guess I'm going to have to grab something before I go to school I grabbed my car keys and made my way to the Mystic Grill to grab a muffin and a coffee. I made my way to the counter and ordered and I was told to wait a minute, I looked around a noticed that about half of the senior class was here,

'Must have had the same idea as me' I thought to myself, as I grabbed my coffee and muffin I notice Tyler sitting at a booth with a guy who looked a few years older than us, Tyler noticed me and gave me a smile before he went back to talking to mysteries guy. I guess that everyone had secrets and little old me knew none. I remember once me, Elena and Bonnie were in the graveyard it was a few weeks before Elena's parents died in that freak car crash, it was right before school started and we decided to make a blood pact, we all pricked are fingers and held them together and repeated, 'We a blood sisters promise not to keep secrets from each other' Elena added on with a giggle 'Unless it's a boy and we don't want anyone knowing' I remember Bonnie telling Elena that, that defeated the purpose of the packed but Elena was the leader of our little group so we let her do whatever she wanted. I managed to get a space near the school so I parked at made my way to home room. Well, all I can say about my first day of senior year was that it dragged and none of my friends talked to me Tyler barely had any time for me. I was at my car when I met mystery guy in person he was leaning against my car door so I couldn't get in

"Are you Caroline?" He had a strong British accent and I could tell that he already knew the answer to his own question

"Yeah" I decided to be honest I've had enough of lies in my life I couldn't be bothered to mess around I just wanted to go home

"Can you pass on a message to Tyler for me?"

"Sure I guess"

"Can you tell him that he needs to stop digging or things he loves will start to disappear"

"Wait…What?" I was confused this stranger was telling me to pass on a threat

"You heard me, I won't keep you any longer" He opened to car door for me as a slid in the door slammed shut I turned around and he was gone. What was going on nobody speaks to me all day then some random guy tells me to threaten my boyfriend the first thing I did when I got home was changed into something more comfortable that meant getting out my trusty sweat pants and a baggy top, after I'd changed I called Tyler and it went straight to voice mail so I left a message.

Tyler

Call me back when you get the message something wired happened to me after school today.

I love you!

I'd just hung up the phone when mum walked through the front door carrying a bag of takeout food.

"Hope you're hungry"

I hadn't realised it but I was starving

"Yeah I'm starving what we having?"

"I just grabbed something from the Mystic Grill"

"Sounds good, so how was your day at work?"

"It was the same nothing out of the ordinary"

"So no more wired deaths?"

"Nope none"

There had been a lot of wired deaths recently Matt's sister was one of them

"So how was your day at school sweetie?"

"Oh you know it was a normal first day of school"

"Good, I have to go out again in a bit to meet Damon"

If I didn't know that my mum was guy I would question the amount of time she spent with Damon

"Ok, I got homework to do, and then I'm just going to crash"

"Ok sweetie, have a good night"

With that she left the room and I heard the front door close I was half way through my homework when my phone started to go off

"Hello"

"Hi Caroline its Tyler I just got your message, what did you want to tell me?"

I thought about telling him what happened to me after school, but I decided to not to it would just make me sound crazy

"It doesn't matter, I missed you today we hardly saw each other"

"Yeah I know I had a lot going on today maybe we could me up tomorrow at the Mystic Grill after school"

"Yeah sounds good"

"Great I've got to go. I love you"

"I love you to"

With that he hung up. Something strange was going on but I didn't know what. This school year was looking very bleak for me and what was with that guy after school, this was all way too much for me I decided to leave my homework as it was and go to bed. Before I turned out the lights I swear I saw a shadow move just outside my window.
