A week after she took the test Caroline finally made the call to the OB/GYN for 2 weeks time, to say she was nervous was an understatement she was scared as hell. There was so many thoughts going through her head but her main concern was would her baby be normal or would it be something else entirely. Could the doctor tell if it wasn't human just by looking at the ultra sound because she was anything but normal especially the father since he is a thousand year old hybrid after all.
K&C
Pulling up at whitmore colllege she just sat there staring at the red brick building in front of her she sighed 'I guess it's now or never' she thought as she got out of her car she grabbed her books and started heading towards the building. She hadn't been here for the last three weeks but thankfully she had two great friends and a very understanding teacher as they made sure she was caught up by emailing her assignments to her and taking notes for her but she thought it was time to rejoin civilisation and head back to class.
She walked through the front entrance not noticing the person in front of her before colliding into them causing her to drop her books
"Oh I'm so sorry I wasn't looking" The guy said bending down to help her pick up her stuff
Caroline looked up at the guy as she just blinked in confusion, he wasn't bad looking he had blue eyes and brown hair but she couldn't help but think she had seen him somewhere before ,he cleared his throat then and she blushed realising she was staring at him. She shook her head as she came out of her thoughts and smiled up at him "Sorry I'm just a bit distracted this morning" She Replied laughing standing up too take the books he was offering her
"No problem I always make it my job to bump into at least one pretty lady a day"
He said smoothly smiling back at her
She laughed again shaking her head at that "Well Thankyou for the help but I better get going I'm late my first class"
"Business management" He remarked
" Huh" She relplied confused, a bit taken back by his reply
"Your books" He added pointing towards the text books that were now resting in her arms
"Oh right sorry , yeah i want to start my own event planning business one day which means I have to learn how to actually run one sometimes I think it's way too over my head" She replied with a giggle
"I don't think so, you seem like a very intelligent woman and a very stunning one at that if I might add" He commented giving her a charming smile
She stood there just staring at him blankly for a moment he reminded her too much of that certain someone but he didn't really have that charm about him that only he could process. Part of her missed him and wished he'd break his promise and part of her hoped she never saw him again it would be a lot easier. She knew she would have to see him again sooner rather then later there was only so long you can keep the fact that she was pregnant with his child a secret before it became obvious , everything was just too complicated
"Are you alright?" He asked her pulling her out if her thoughts once again
"Huh , oh yes sorry you are very sweet and charming in fact " She said with a small smile before adding "But I better head to class Thankyou for the help I'll see you around" She added walking past him
"Anytime , It Was my pleasure Caroline" He called out to her as she made her way down the hall
"How do you know my name?" She asked while turning around to face him but she only saw an empty hallway he was already gone.
K&C
"Caroline" Elena called from across the school parking lot
"Hey" she said when she approached her
"How was you first day back" Elena asked once she made her way over to her best friend
"Yeah it was good, thank god I was already caught up because then it would've been hell. Thanks by the way you and Bonnie are life savers" Caroline spoke giving her a Grateful smile
"Anytime Care I'm sure you would of done the same if either one of us was sick by the way how are you feeling you seem better " She Replied adjusting the strap of her bag on her shoulder
"Yes, I feel fine now not one hundred percent but I'm getting there" She answered with a small smile. She was getting better at lying as the weeks went on so good in fact she was even starting to believe her own lies.
"Well that's good Care i'm glad , anyway I better get going I'm meeting Damon at the grill I should call him and let him know I'm on my way " She spoke while pulling out her cell phone
"Alright Elena I'll see you tomorrow" Caroline replied
"Okay Care see you then" She said hugging her before making her way towards her car
She watched Elena go for a moment before turning towards her own car. She felt someone's presence like someone was watching her she turned and looked around the parking lot it was practically empty except for a few students but then she saw the guy she met this morning standing near the entrance watching her 'Seriously' She thought what the hell was he doing , was he stalking her. She started walking towards him then but stopped in her tracks when she noticed he wasn't there anymore 'What the hell where did he go he was there a minute go wasn't he?' She thought as she looked around the parking lot for any sign of him. Maybe she was just being paranoid and was making things up but she could've sworn he was there 'I'm not that crazy okay , that's it I'm going home to lay down before things get even weirder' She thought as she got her keys out and headed back towards her car.
He watched as she headed towards her car and stopped to talk to a pretty brunette which he assumed was the doppelgänger Elena he had heard about her. He watched her for a few more minutes as she hugged her friend goodbye he then saw her looking around for a moment like she knew someone was watching her , then she looked right in his direction. She just stood there watching him as he stood there staring back at her looking her over she was definitely a beautiful girl but there was nothing he could do she was off limits he thought with a sigh before disappearing around the corner. He pulled out his cell phone dialling the familiar number as it picked up on the third ring
"Yes" The man answered on the other end of the phone
"I have eyes on her now" He said looking around the corner to where she was driving out of the school parking lot " I think she's heading home"
"Good" The unknown man said before adding "Make sure you keep an eye on her , make sure she's safe and stay close to her but not too close do you understand me" He all but growled out
"Yes I understand" He wasn't gonna tell him about purposely bumping into her this morning he was told to keep an eye on her actually more like sired too but he just wanted to see for himself what was so important about this girl and he had to admit he was intrigued she was definitely something but he didn't need to know that if he even muttered a single word about talking to her without his permission his heart would be out of his chest and on the ground in a matter of seconds
"Good don't fail me"
"I won't" The line went dead after that he sighed as he put his phone back in his pocket and walked towards his car and started heading in the direction Caroline went.
K&C
Caroline pulled up in her driveway she could've sworn she was being followed. She had noticed the same car behind her at least three times turning up in different places maybe she was just being paranoid she thought as she exited her car she needed to lie down she could feel a headache coming on probably because she hadn't fed since early this morning.
She went inside and turned on all the lights as she went into the kitchen to get a blood bag from the fridge. She had just finished her fourth one when she heard a noise on the front porch, she put the last bag in the trash as she headed to her front door looking through the glass of the door she slowly opened it and stepped out on to the porch too find that there was no one there so with a frown she went to turn around and head back in when a hand suddenly grabbed her shoulder. She nearly jumped a foot in the air then as she turned around quickly to try and defend herself but stopped and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw who it was "God Mom dont do that you scared me half to death" She said taking a calming breath
Liz just stared at her with an amusing look on her face "Sorry honey Didn't mean too" She replied laughing before adding "Arn't you a vampire anyway you should'nt be jumping at the slightest thing" She Said moving past her to head inside the house
"You just caught me off guard that's all" Caroline remarked as she took another look outside before closing the door . She felt someone out there but it was'nt her mothers presence she felt it was someone else's. She quickly locked up before joining her Mom in the living room.
Dean came out the shadows watching her as she talked to her mother he had been keeping an eye on her for the past couple of weeks now watching her , keeping her safe for him he wished he could speak to her just spend some more time with her there was just something alluring about her, a light she that she carried within herself even after death.
