The Second Choice

I furiously walk out of The Grill. Why did Klaus always have to show up, interrupting my life? He always was trying to annoy me, I was sure of it.

I 'm not really sure of where I'm going. In fact I wasn't even watching where I was going until I walked straight into a body.

"Ah Caroline, it's a pleasure" I hear a smooth voice say. I look up and see Elijah smirking at me.

"Elijah, what are you- wait a minute. How on EARTH did you know that I'm Caroline? I look exactly like Elena" I tell him immediately suspicious.

"Well Caroline, I'm afraid not many have had the courage to walk away from my brother like you have the history of doing. Now if it doesn't trouble you too greatly, I would very much like to know how Elena's and yours bodies have been switched"

"We actually have no idea. We woke up this morning and our bodies were switched, do you have any idea of what happened?" I ask him. Elena had told me before that almost always Elijah had an idea of what was going on. She said he always seemed to be ten steps ahead of the game, or in a different game altogether.

Elijah pauses for a moment. I was amazed at how still he was. It was as if time itself stopped for him. As a neurotic, control freak I could never stand to stay still for more than five seconds, but I guess when you've lived as long as he has you are able to comprehend time much more slowly.

"I believe that there is a person that I know of who has the power and means to cast such a powerful and rare spell. I will contact you when I have more information, good bye Caroline"

"Wait you're helping us, why?"

"I believe that I once made a deal with Elena that I would keep her loved ones safe. I do not see letting my brother use one of her friends as a way of hiding his insecurities by taking you're blood constantly as keeping our agreement" He stops once again. "I know that I don't have your trust, but I am a man of my word. I made a mistake when I didn't kill my brother. It was a moment of weakness and a mistake I do not intend to make again. I do hope that through time I will be able to, gain you and your friends trust. I must once again though bid you goodbye"

He walks away from me, but when he walks away a few yards I call out to him. "Elijah" He doesn't respond, but he stops walking. "Elena trusts you, I know it by the way she talks about you and you have someone else's trust. I trust you, thank you for what you're doing"

He continues walking and I decide to go back in The Grill to make sure that Elena was doing okay. I step in and see that Elena was now sitting by herself.

"Hey Elena, are you okay? I have to admit that I'm surprised that Klaus is already gone. He always seems like he would stay forever just to annoy me if I let him and sorry, but you have no experience with chasing him away" I tell her sitting down.

"Actually I was saved by the phone. One of his hybrids called and apparently he thankfully had to leave" Elena tells me taking a sip of her strawberry daiquiri.

"Wow, I'm surprised that he actually left for something that one of his hybrids told him"

"It was something about his brother Kol spilled blood on his rug" Elena snickers.

"He sounds like Damon, what is with men and their ridiculously expensive rugs!?"

"I have no idea, but it's hilarious!"

Elena and I were in the middle of our laughing fest when I feel an arm around my shoulders. "And what are you laughing about?" I turn my head to see Damon giving his famous eye-thing at me.

"Damon, what are you doing here?" I try and say it without heightening the pitch of my voice as I always did, but instead I kept it even and low like Elena does.

Damon apparently didn't notice anything different because he answers with his usual Damon arrogance.

"What, you didn't miss me?" He asks while signaling a waitress over.

"Actually, no I didn't. And I ask again, why are you here, Damon?" I suddenly understood why Elena could get as infuriated with him as she did. He was almost as bad as Klaus!

"Well Saint Stefan didn't know where you were so we both have been on an Elena hunt today"

"Damon, that's ridiculous. The two of you don't have to have me in sight twenty four seven"

"Well, you were supposed to call Edward this morning, naughty, naughty Elena" Damon told me waving a chiding finger in front of my face.

"Oh, I was?" I look at Elena and she nods at me. "I guess I'll call him right now" I tell them getting up and going to right outside The Grill. I quickly call Stefan before he picks up almost immediately.

"Elena!?

"Hey Stefan, ya it's me. I'm sorry, I forgot to call this morning, my head was, well really flustered"

"Elena, you need to be more careful. Do you know how worried I was?" "Stefan, I didn't mean to forget. I'm really sorry, but I was really tired this morning and I couldn't remember that I was supposed to call you" "Elena I spent the whole morning looking for you. I was terrified that something happened to you and you think it's okay that you just forgot!? Augh! How did Elena stand this guy? I thought that I preferred Stefan! He was just as bad as Damon! I quickly end the conversation and walk back in The Grill.

"Caroline, I'm going home. I'll see you later, alright?" I tell her purposely ignoring the other Salvatore brother.

"Oh sure, that's fine, but do you want company?" I felt bad for leaving Elena alone, but right now I was annoyed by both Salvatore brothers and His Royal Hybridness. What I needed right now was some down time.

"No it's okay. I'm probably just going to go to sleep, but I'll probably see you tomorrow"

"Well okay then, I guess I'll see you tomorrow" I see Damon getting up out of his chair and I push his shoulder down.

"Damon, I want to be ALONE" I tell him in chiding voice, he deserves it for waiving a finger in front of my face!

"No you can't. May I remind you that you have the amazing capability of getting yourself in dyer situations? You can't be trusted to just go off on your own, you'll get yourself killed, trying to get a cat from a tree, or something"

"That's absolutely ridiculous and I am perfectly fine of taking care of myself and anyways I'm just going back to my house. Goodnight Damon" I exit The Grill once again watching to make sure that Damon didn't follow. I was walking to my car when I feel a hand pressed tightly up against my mouth and an arm holding me back from running.

"Sorry love, but I think it's time you make another donation"

Hey everyone! I can't believe how popular this story is, thank you to everyone who read this story! I can't even believe all the reviewers, you guys are amazing! To the guest who asked about my twitter I am soooooooo honored that you would follow me just because you like one thing that I wrote, but (I'm soooooooooooooooooooo sorry) I don't have one. I wish I did so I could except your invitation, but I don't have accounts for websites like Twitter, MySpace, or Facebook, please no one kill me for that. Hey if I'm dead then I can't write any more chapters so ha! You can't kill me. Back to guest reviewer, for sending me such an amazing review I give you not only a hug from Klaus, but also a kiss on the hand (Did anyone else faint?) and him calling you love (Once again must ask, everyone alive?), I hope you enjoy it. Thank you for all those people that followed and put my story on their favorites list! By the way did anyone else see the photos for episode seven? It looks like Klaus is about to possibly kiss her! And she looks like she's thinking of letting him! By the way I was wondering this will just be a side pairing, but for Elena would you guys like Elijah, or Damon better? I'm sorry, but I will not in any circumstances do a stelena story, and it is not that Elijah loves Elena more than Klaus loves Caroline that he could tell the difference. I see Elijah as EXTREEMLY good at noticing things so I think he could tell the personality differences between Elena and Caroline. I hope you guys liked this, please review-moonandsunprincess

Ps. How did I do at writing Klaus and Elijah? I was nervous at not writing them correctly
