Chapter 1
FINALLY
Author's Note:
Hey guys! This is my new fanfic called 'finally'. I have deleted 'The Beginning'. But don't worry, you can still read it on another account: 'To-Infinity-And-Back'. Also I will try to update more, because I feel terrible for not updating the beginning.
Sorry if the story is a little confusing. It will all make sense in later chapters. (Hopefully)
Disclaimer: I unfortunately don't own TVD :'(
Enjoy! ;)
"Kat!" Caroline yelled over the loud music playing in the car. "What?" Katherine yelled back, putting on a pouting face as Caroline turned the music down.
"Please explain to me again why we're going to Mystic Falls" Caroline said. "I told you, Damon and Stefan are there" the brown eyed brunette girl replied.
"Ah yes, your boy toys. I thought you gave them up 145 years ago?" Caroline said looking confused.
"I did... well sort of. I faked my own death remember? They are probably still mourning over it" Katherine replied casually.
"Then why are you going back?" Caroline asked still looking a bit confused.
"It's time to have a little fun again, don't you think?" she replied with a devious smile. 'This is going to be a long summer' Caroline thought to herself.
They arrived in Mystic Falls, Caroline looked around the apartment that she and Katherine would be sharing. It was stylish, yet cozy.
It was surprisingly her taste. Usually Katherine picked large, lavish apartments that always seemed a little too cold for Caroline's taste, almost as if there were no sign of any warmth in them. But this was definitely an apartment that Caroline would have chosen for herself.
"How are you so sure that the Salvatore's are still interested in you?" Caroline asked sceptically.
"Oh honey! Haven't you learned anything?" Katherine asked before continuing, "Guys all fall at my feet. They can never stop thinking about me. And I'm certain that the Salvatore's will be fighting for my affections as soon as they lay their eyes on me!" Katherine stated with a smirk on her face.
"I know, but it has been over a century ago, Kat! They probably still think that your stuck in the tomb" Caroline said.
"Your right... maybe they have gotten over me. But if that is the case, I'll just make them fall in love with me all over again!" the brunette answered with a huge grin plastered across her face.
"I'm already starting to feel sorry for those two boys" Caroline said with pity.
"Urgh!" Katherine groaned as she entered their apartment. "What happened?" Caroline asked.
Katherine looked at her, annoyed. "Elena Gilbert is what happened. BothSalvatore's have fallen for her!"
"Wait, who's Elena Gilbert?" Caroline asked.
"She is my doppelgänger." Caroline stared at the brunette as if she has lost her mind. "You.. your doppelgänger? But that's impossible!"
"I know that! And she is also the reason why we're leaving" Katherine answered.
"Leaving?" Caroline asked looking confused.
"Yes, if there is a Petrova doppelgänger, which there is, Klaus will come for her. And if I am here when he arrives he willkill me! I have been running from him for 500 years" Katherine said as she started to pack all of her belongings.
She couldn't let him find her. She was supposed to be sacrificed in a ritual in order for Klaus to become the first ever Original Hybrid. Fortunately, she had managed to escape by running away and getting turned into a vampire, but has been on the run ever since.
Katherine suddenly stopped packing and stared at the blonde. "Care, why aren't you packing?"
"Kat... you know your my best friend, but I'm going to stay" Caroline said confidently.
Katherine looked a little saddened by this. "Fine, suit yourself. But when Klaus comes here for the doppelgänger and kills everybody, don't come crying to me" she said softly with tears threatening to fall, as she turned away and walked towards her room. After she packed she left without saying goodbye. 'If only she knew' Caroline thought to herself.
Two days later...
Caroline walked into the Mystic Falls High School, where she will be attending from now on. 'A thousand year old vampire going to High school' the thought itself wanted to make Caroline laugh, but she wanted to get to know the people in town, starting with Elena.
As she made her way through the crowded hallway, Caroline accidentally bumped into someone. When she looked up her eyes met brown ones. And the person to whom the eyes belonged to, looked exactly like Katherine, except she wasn't. This girl had straight hair, where Katherine had curly hair. That... and there was no chance that Katherine would come back to this town.
When she realized that she hasn't said anything, she immediately started to apologise. "I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to. It was an accident" Caroline said with a shameful face.
"It's okay. You must be new here" Elena more stated than asked.
"Yes, I am. I'm Caroline." "I'm Elena, and please let me know if you need any help" Elena offered with a smile.
Caroline didn't want to seem needy, but who was she kidding, she was lost! She was an Original vampire, but still couldn't even find her way to her first class of the day. 'How pathetic' Caroline thought to herself.
"Actually... I'm lost! Could you maybe direct me to the English class?" Caroline asked with an innocent smile.
"I also have English now. We can go together if you want?" Elena asked.
"Sure, that would be great, thank you."
After English, History and Maths, it was finally time for lunch. Elena was kind enough to invite Caroline to sit with them for lunch. When Caroline entered the cafeteria, Elena waved her over.
"Caroline, I would like to introduce some people to you. This is Matt," she started, pointing at a well-built, blue eyed, blonde haired boy with a charming smile. Next she pointed at a dark skinned girl with green eyes. "And that's Bonnie." Bonnie gave Caroline a warm smile, which of course, Caroline returned.
Lunch was sent making small conversation with each other. Caroline knew that she would become great friends with them.
Halfway through lunch, a boy with forest green eyes and dark blonde wavy hair, entered the cafeteria. Elena's smile widened at the sight of him. "Caroline, this is Stefan." Elena said as he took a seat next to Matt.
"It's a pleasure to meet you, Caroline." Stefan said with a warm smile.
"Likewise." Caroline returned the smile. 'So this is the infamous Stefan Salvatore, I've been hearing so much about.' Caroline thought.
"So Caroline, where did you move from?" Matt asked as all eyes turned to her. Caroline knew that they would ask that, but didn't think it would happen so soon. 'Think Caroline, think!' Caroline thought to herself.
"Um, New Orleans." 'Really Caroline? New Orleans? That's the best you could come up with?!' Caroline mentally screamed at herself.
"Wow, New Orleans! Then why did you move here?" Bonnie asked.
"My parents died so I thought it would be a nice change." 'That was actually very good, Caroline.' She praised herself.
Mystic Falls 1013...
Caroline rushed into the hut. The whole village was slaughtered, but she just hoped that her parents were still alive. "Mother, Father!?" she called while searching for them frantically. She ran into the bedroom, only to find both her parents lying on the floor with their hearts ripped out of their chests.
She sunk down on the floor next to them, taking their hands in hers as she started crying.
After a few minutes passed, Caroline heard her name being called from outside. She immediately stood up and ran outside, straight into her husband's arms. "Nik, their dead, my Mother and Father are dead!" she said as tears rolled down her cheeks.
"It's going to be okay Caroline. Everything is going to be okay." Klaus said in a soothing tone, trying to calm his wife down.
And that is one of the many reasons why she fell in love with Niklaus Mikaelson. She always feels safe when she's with him. Even when they were children, he was always the one who protected her from the older children, who were picking on her. And right now, everything was so new to Caroline. Two months ago she got married, two weeks ago she got turned into a vampire, along with her new family, and today her parents got murdered. What's going to happen next?
"Who would do such a thing?" she asked as her tears finally came to a halt.
"It was Mikael. I saw him kill my mother." Klaus replied with a painful look on his face.
"Nik, I am so sorry about your mother." Caroline said sympathetically.
"It's fine. Go back to our hut and pack your belongings, we are leaving." All Caroline could do was nod. She knew that now was not a time to argue with him.
Little did she know that the painful look on Klaus' face was not because of his mother's death, but because he just had to lie to Caroline. It was not Mikael that slaughtered the entire village, but Klaus himself. But he had to lie, because how could he tell the woman he loved, that he had just killed her parents? She would never forgive him if she found out.
He still couldn't believe that he had killed the entire village, all because his mother had put a curse upon him. Her own son. 'Caroline must never find out about this.' He thought to himself.
He turned to walk away when he heard his name being called. He turned around to see his younger sister, Rebekah, with tears in her eyes.
"Nik, mother is dead! Who would such a thing?" She asked in a broken voice.
'What is it with women and the question: who would do such a thing?' he thought to himself, but he knew he would have to lie. Again.
"It was Mikael. I saw him." Klaus replied.
Rebekah stared at him in shock. "What? Father would never do such a thing! I know that he has been hard on us, especially you, but that does not mean that our own father would our mother. He loves her and he loves us!"
"Oh. But he did." He started. "Apparently mother has been unfaithful years ago." He took Rebekah's silence as a sign to continue. "She had an affair with one of the men from the neighbour village. I was the result of their little affair."
"But everyone in that village is a werewolf!" Rebekah nearly shouted.
"I know that Bekah. And because of mother's indiscretions, I'm also one. But, of course, she went and put a curse on me to keep my werewolf side dormant," Klaus said with what sounded like a low growl in his voice.
"Maybe it wasn't such a bad thing mother did to you. Do you really want to be one of those beasts that killed our little brother merely a few weeks ago? Maybe it was for the best-"
"No, Bekah! It's not for the best. She is keeping me from turning into what I truly am." Klaus interrupted her.
Rebekah could see the sadness in her brother's eyes. "Does Caroline know?" she asked softly.
He shook his head. "You're the only one that knows. I'll tell the others later, but first I need you to go gather your belongings. We're all leaving."
He turned around to leave when he heard Rebekah softly add "Not before we bury our mother."
"Very well" Klaus said before leaving.
Two months later...
Mystic Falls 2013
It has been two months since Caroline started at Mystic Falls High. She also became best friends with Elena, Bonnie and even Stefan. Though Stefan is more like a brother to her than a friend.
But the best of all is the fact that they were okay with her being a vampire, because apparently Stefan and his brother Damon are also vampires, but she already knew that from what Katherine told her. Bonnie is a witch from a very powerful bloodline and Tyler Lockwood, (the mayor's son and the captain of the school's football team) was a werewolf.
But what everyone doesn't know, is that Elena Gilbert is a Petrova doppelgänger and if Klaus finds out she exists he will come for her, but Caroline is going to make sure that it doesn't happen.
Thanks for reading! I hope you enjoyed it. And please remember to review, follow and favourite.
