Red or gold, gold or red, the sheer brilliance of the colors consumed his mind, as he struggled to grasp which was more captivating. The golden crown of lustrous hair flowing down her bare back or the crimson fabric clinging to her goddess like structure high-lighting her creamy smooth skin. Or maybe it was the combination of both creating an aura of celestial beauty around her.

She was exquisite and he was enthralled. He followed her every move, as almost all the other men in the huge hall. She left a trail of admirers as she walked off hand in hand with her muscular date.

Never had he felt so captivated by a woman, and a blonde one at that. But she seemed lost in her own thoughts. He itched to know about the thoughts she seemed so lost in.

"Caroline, Caroline ! Are you even here ? You didn't bring me here so that we keep standing all night, did you ?"

He didn't mean to be rude. But her behavior was testing his patience. He knew she only came because her boss insisted and was having a tough time at work and that was probably what she was still thinking about, but this was a night off and he expected it to be a good one.

"Huh ? What ? What is your problem? If you're bored then you can go home"

Her words slightly shocked him, he didn't expect her to answer in such a manner.

She sighed, she was losing it.

"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry Tyler, I didn't mean it like that. You know I'm having a tough time at work, it's just the stress" She said in a low voice. She took his hands in hers and dragged him towards the dance floor. "I'll make it up to you, lets dance" She said with a smile.

Her smile was perhaps one of the most beautiful things he has come across in his life. She was full of light and her smile was one which could probably stop wars, brighten a dull day and warm even the coldest hearts. If a fake smile of hers had such intense beauty, what could a real one do, he mused.

He was sure, the smile she had on was a fake one. He understood women. He had spent a huge portion of his life in studying the so-called complex minded women. Of all the women he studied, he found, almost all of them to be the same, despite the claims of being different each made.

He wondered if she was like the rest. Perhaps, her beauty was her only asset. Was her mind as brilliant as her beauty ? He burned to know. He had to talk to her. A small conversation should be enough to give him a glimpse of her mind.

He made his was over to talk to her. He almost reached her but halted in his steps as he saw who approached her.

The dancing couple was suddenly interrupted from their dance, as Tyler felt a tap on his shoulders.

"Excuse me,I have to borrow Agent Forbes "

"Why? " Caroline replied, before Tyler could. It was Klaus, her new team member.

"Alaric has called us , something's come up" His grave voice gave her an idea of what that might be and she prayed that she was wrong.

She sighed, "okay"

She turned to Tyler, " I'm sorry, again. I've to go,I might be late. Why don't you go home ? I'll see you later " She said with an apologetic smile. She really was sorry. Tyler was a great guy and he deserved better, at least better than what she was giving him.

"Its okay, I'll see you later" Tyler said. He gave her a small kiss and walked away.

Caroline to turned to Klaus.

"What is it ? Did they find another one ?"

"I don't really know but from the sound of Alaric's voice I think it is another one"

"Hmm, it's getting worse then, lets go".

Both of them entered a room revealing Alaric and their other team members, Damon Salvatore, Stefan Salvatore, Katherine Gilbert and Bonnie Bennett. All of them wore grave expressions, confirming Caroline's suspicions.

Klaus spoke up, "What happened,Alaric?"

Alaric quietly passed the tablet he was holding towards Klaus. Both Klaus and Caroline looked at the screen and their expressions turned into a revolted one as they took in the image before them . The screen showed the body of a girl dressed in a beautiful white dress lying on the ground. The photo would have been a normal one if not for the gaping hole with a heart sticking out from the girls back.

If he was interested in this girl before, then his interest in her increased ten folds within the last 2 minutes . So she was not a dumb blonde like he thought she might be. She was an agent. She worked for the FBI. Interesting.

He smiled to himself. Looked like, he was finally about to have some fun. He had to gather more information about her. And he knew just where to start.

So this is another attempt at a fic . This plot has been in my mind for a while and i tried my best to justify my imagination with my words. Hope this interests you. Feel free to express your views and provide suggestions. This is un-beta'd so apologizing for any mistake i made.
