Chapter One

Summer was at its end. This was supposed to be a killer summer but it was everything but. Elena and Damon were busy sexing it up. Jeremy was out living since he was no longer dead. Stefan left after having his heart broken and Bonnie was out traveling with her mother. Oh and Matt was traveling with Rebekah. So once again I was alone.

Klaus was even allowing Tyler to come back after graduation but he still has yet to come back so once again I was alone. I was moving into my dorm alone. I was supposed to share a dorm with Elena and Bonnie but since no one was here for me through this whole damn summer I decided to compel the office so I could get a single suite.

But even though no one was here for me through the whole summer there was one person who was always calling me to make sure I was ok and asking how my summer was. Klaus. The last person I expected to care. Rebekah texted me here and there telling me how she was enjoying her trips. But of course nothing from my boyfriend Tyler.

After spending several hours moving my things into my dorm my mother finally left. I glanced around my large dorm room. It was large. With wooden floors and wooden paneling walls. High ceilings with white walls. Wooden beams that lined the ceiling with gorgeous lighting. I was ready to paint. I pulled my hair into a messy bun as I pulled out the paint brushes and paint and began to paint as I jammed out to the music playing from my phone. I was painting the walls a light green with my Caroline flair to the room. "Knock knock."

"It's open." I yelled not turning to face who dare bothered me.

"Hi I'm Cassie I am your neighbor. This was dropped in my dorm."

I placed my paintbrush down and headed to the door. Glancing up I smiled at the girl who held out two letters. She seemed innocent enough and she was defiantly human. I could hear her blood pulsing through her body. She had short curly red hair, green eyes and pale skin and a slender body. Innocent enough. "Thanks. Mail already? Wow. I'm Caroline." I said smiling. She reminded me a lot of Sage. I missed her.

"Yeah, well I'll leave you to painting. I like the color. See you around."

I waved by to the red head girl who seemed nice enough. I closed the door behind her and glanced at the two letters in my hand. Well one was a postcard from Rebekah I smiled as I glanced it over.

Caroline-

Where the bloody hell have you been? Haven't heard from you all summer. Matt and I are having a blast. I hope your summer is going well. And I hope you are partying it up. I hope you will come visit me in New Orleans I really do mean me not my brother. We are leaving Rome to head back to Mystic Falls. Take care Caroline and don't let whiney pathetic Elena bother you.

-Rebekah-

I smiled at the postcard. Rebekah and I have grown close. We used to hate each other. But overtime we bonded. We both loved shopping and decorating. And we were always second when it came to Stefan. I even confided in her. And she has always loved Stefan and I think she still does. I gently placed the postcard onto the nightstand and glanced at the next letter. I froze when I saw where it was from. New Orleans. I smiled instantly knowing who it was from. Klaus.

Caroline,

Hello Love. I have been busy taking over New Orleans so my apologies for not calling. I figured Tyler would be back by now so I didn't want you two to have a spat. As much as I loathe that bloody bloke I care for you. Are you enjoying your dorm room? I am sure it is less than you deserve. Also I sent your bracelet that you threw in my face back to you. It's repaired. Please keep it. You wound me Caroline. I am finding myself at a loss for words here. I have many things here except your company. And quite frankly I miss you. But I do hope you enjoy embracing the college life. Something humans do. I hope to hear from you soon.

With love,

-Klaus-

I smiled at the letter. He was too sweet. And he is what kept my head above water this whole summer. Gently I placed the letter and postcard into the drawer of the nightstand. As I headed back to the painting there was another knock.

"For the love of god." I muttered.

I reached the door in vamp speed quickly opening it. I froze when I saw who was here. "Tyler" I shrieked. He was here. I was really seeing him. I couldn't hold back any longer. I lunged myself at him jumping into his arms. Tyler laughed as he carried me further into my dorm.

"I missed you too Care." Tyler said.

"You're back?"

"Not quite." Tyler said.

"What do you mean?"

"I still have to help the pack Caroline. They need me." Tyler said placing a kiss on my cheek.

"So then why are you here?"

"I wanted to say hello plus I had business to attend to." Tyler said.

I rolled my eyes as I chuckled to myself. It was stupid of me to think he was here to see me and only me. Lately all he cared about was his damn pack. If that was even what he was doing. "Caroline don't be like that." Tyler said.

I pulled from his embrace and headed back to painting. I was trying to keep my anger in control. "Don't be like what? Don't be pissed that I haven't seen my boyfriend all summer and that your pack is more important than your girlfriend? Too late." I growled.

"Caroline they need me. I swear this is the last one then it can be us. Look I will be by later. I love you." Tyler said.

I didn't turn to face him and the sad thing is he didn't even kiss me goodbye. Something was up with him and it wasn't just the whole helping the pack thing. There was something more going on with him. I glanced at the walls. They were done. Now they just needed to dry. So now I was going to do a little investigating myself.

Quickly I grabbed my black hooded sweater and keys and headed to the parking lot. There was something Tyler was hiding from me and I was going to find out what. No matter what it took. As I was heading to the parking lot I spotted Tyler talking with someone before climbing into a red Porsche. I waited until the car was out of sight to head to my own. As I was approaching my car my phone began going off. I had a good idea who it was.

"Hello Klaus." I said smiling.

"Caroline love. How are you?"

"Just dandy you?" I said climbing into my car.

"Is this a bad time?"

"Yeah, I need to head to the store. Let me call you later." I said.

"Ok Caroline. But I have a feeling you're up to something. You are a horrible liar."

"Goodbye Klaus." I chuckled.

I shifted the car into gear and headed off into traffic. I drove for a few miles until I reached a local bar and grill. I spotted the car that Tyler had climbed into. I have seen that car and I was sure I knew who that car belonged to. A certain were-slut. Quickly I climbed out of my car and glanced around. No one was in sight. I dashed to the main entrance in vamp speed. I slipped inside spotting Tyler with the were-slut Hayley. I should have known.

Quietly I slipped to the hallway that was closest to them. I was interested to hear what they were saying. And I was wondering if I should confront him or not. I stood leaning against the wall quietly. I could have listened across the room but I didn't want to be seen. Quickly I pressed the record button on my phone. I was going to record this. Black mail.

"Does she know we are meeting?" Hayley asked.

"No, and I am hoping to keep it that way." Tyler said.

"Are you sure Caroline isn't going to get pissed about this? I mean what if she finds out?" Hayley asked.

"By the time she finds out Klaus will be dead and so will his whole family." Tyler said.

I stood speechless as I covered my mouth to keep the gasps from escaping my mouth. Instantly my heart clenched at the thought of Klaus and Rebekah dead. They are all I have left. No one else cares about me. What do I do? Do I tell Klaus? Do I tell Rebekah?

"Anyways so I blackmailed a witch Agnus. She linked Klaus to my baby. He thinks the baby is his when really…."

"They baby is mine." Tyler interrupted. "Soon when this is done we can runaway together and start our lives together."

"What about Caroline?" Hayley asked.

"We are pretty much done. She's getting sick of my helping the pack." Tyler chuckled.

"Oh darling. Well I need to get to the ladies room." Hayley said.

I quickly dashed out the back door as tears streamed down my face. All this time I had faith in Tyler and I. Faith in our relationship. I held on and was faithful to him in hopes that he would return to me and that we would have a summer of a lifetime together. But I was wrong. And the sad thing is I wasn't upset I was angry. Angry that he was going to harm Klaus and Rebekah and kill the originals.

I hurried to my car making sure I wasn't to be seen. Quickly I punched in Rebekah's number as I was pulling into traffic. "Caroline darling Klaus and I were just talking about you. How are you?" Rebekah answered.

"Rebekah I need you to act like everything is fine. Klaus can't know about this. Why don't you come and have a shopping day with me I need to speak with you. It's a life and death matter." I trembled.

"Shopping sounds lovely. I'll leave here soon. Meet at your dorm?"

"Yeah, sounds great." I said hanging up as I wiped tears away from my face.

Once pulling into the parking lot I hurried toward my dorm. I didn't know if Tyler was coming up or not. And I didn't know if I would be able to keep my anger in check. "Caroline this came for you."

I glanced up to see Cassie holding a rectangle box. I knew exactly what it was. "Thanks." I said. Quickly I grabbed the box and headed to my dorm. No one was in my room. I placed the rectangle box in the drawer with the letters and my drawing that I never had the heart to throw away. I knew there was a chance Tyler would show up. I needed to busy myself. So I decided to unpack. I just hoped Rebekah would get here soon.
