Chapter 2

Okay so here it is, chapter 2! Thanks for the reviews, favorites and follows!

Cupcakesweetheart5 - Katherine said she seemed to recall Hayley and Tyler running off into the woods, as in past tense. Hayley and Tyler won't necessarily be out of the picture.

Anyways, enjoy!

"Caroline! Caroline!"

The voice grew louder and more harsh.

"Caroline! C'mon, wake up!"

My eyes slowly fluttered open. Kneeling above me was Stefan. He grinned once his eyes met with mine, only for his grin to quickly vanish.

"Are you okay? You're..."

"Human. I'm fine"

He nodded.

"What the hell happened blondie?"

That voice was oh so familiar. How could I ever forget it? The way he used me, lied to me, compelled me, and the list goes on. I turned to look at him kneeling over Elena, quietly sobbing. I could feel the pain in my chest at the sight of my best friend's dead body.

"What happened?!"

Damon was staring straight at me. There was anger and hurt in his voice, more anger though. He was insisting that I told him what happened. I wanted to tell him, but I couldn't bring myself to do so. How would I be able to explain how his psycho ex girlfriend killed his current girlfriend?

Then there was Stefan, who tried his best to try to hide his pain of losing Elena, even though she chose Damon over him. But he was hurt, even if he couldn't admit it.

"Who did this?"

Damon snarled, snapping me out of my current thought.

"K-Katherine"

I mumbled. His hands curled into fists and he continuously pounded the floor. I knew I shouldn't haven't told him. I watched as Stefan walked over to his side immediately, trying to calm him down.

"Damon.. I'm sorry.."

Suddenly, Damon was at my side, glaring at me.

"Why didn't you save her? Why are you alive and human while Elena's dead?!"

He grabbed my shoulders and started shaking me.

"YOU COULD HAVE SAVED HER!"

The bruises on my arm were already forming as his grip hardened. Stefan tried to free my arm, but Damon wouldn't let go. Instead, he tightened his grip. I cried in agony as I felt the sudden pain beneath his grip that resulted in a broken arm. He then let his arm fall to his side. My free hand was soothing my broken arm, wincing as I felt the sharp pain. Damon's angered face was now gone and replaced with a blank expression. He... He turned off his emotions...

"Damon...?"

He looked at me, dazed, but suddenly, he was grinning.

"Your blood smells so good. It brings back memories."

My eyes widened and I slowly started to crawl backwards towards the door. In a flash, Damon lunged forward but he was slammed onto the floor in mid-air. Stefan had him braced under his own body, while Damon struggled to free himself.

"Let go of me brother! She let Elena die!"

He snarled again.

"She was too late."

"NO! She killed her!"

Stefan's hands went to his brothers neck and SNAP! He lay his brother down gently and he quickly ran to me, kneeling down to pick me up.

He was running towards the parking lot as fast as he could. I felt the cool breeze tickle my face until I was thrown into the back seat of his car. Stefan quickly got into the passenger seat, turned the engine on and drove away from Mystic High.

"You have to get out of here, before Damon wakes up. It won't be long now."

"Where are we going?"

I sat up and pulled the seatbelt over my shoulder, knowing that I was very fragile now.

"To the airport. You need to go to Klaus. He will protect you."

"Klaus?!"

I choked.

"Why Klaus? Why can't I stay with you? Why do I even need protecting?"

I could see the airport just ahead.

"Because Damon will want revenge once his humanity is back on and he believes that you did nothing to save Elena. Caroline, he really loved Elena. He will kill anyone, especially you, since you could've saved her. I know if you could have, you definitely would have. I know it was probably already too late. C'mon."

We were already at the airport. I quickly unbuckled and climbed out of the vehicle. Stefan held my arm to keep me upright as I almost fell out of the car. Soon, we were rushing into the busy airport. We headed toward the desk at the front where ticket sales were being made. The poor lady was compelled into booking me a ticket to New Orleans where Klaus would be waiting.

I scoffed. Why him? He's brought nothing to me than trouble. He has put my life in danger twice, not to mention the time where he made Tyler do it. Tyler... I hope he's ok. I would have to call him once I land, letting him know that I was ok. Although Klaus allowed Tyler to be free as a graduation gift, I knew that it was only an attempt of kindness, something he definitely didn't have. However tonight, was a something different. He did show kindness and not just that, he also showed compassion.

He was your first love. I intend to be your last.

We were making our way to the terminal, as my flight was already boarding. I turned to look at Stefan, giving him a small smile.

"Thanks Stefan."

He returned the smile.

"I don't like the idea of Klaus watching over you as much as you do, but we have no other choice. Be careful."

He nodded before I boarded the plane. I found my seat, 15B and ploppled down into it. I really don't want to go to New Orleans, but I have no choice. This is going to be a long flight of dreading the moment that I have to see Klaus.

How was it? Tell me what you think! Klaus will probably appear in the next chapter, who knows? Tune in on Wednesday! Review, favorite or follow!
