Hey guys! thank you for reviewing it hope you like this one too sorry it took me so long to post it please enjoy and review it :))
Caroline was half asleep when Tyler kissed him in the forehead, she had a glimpsed on his face but she thought that she was just dreaming. Before Tyler left, he put a red rose besides her symbolizing his regret for leaving her and sorrow from all the pain he had caused her but most importantly it shows his deep affection towards her.
It was half passed 8 in the morning and she was still in her deep sleep, Damon sneaked into her room and played prank on her. He set the alarm clock into loudest mode and put it beside her ear; the alarm clock starts to alarmed. Caroline fell from her bed and hit her head on the floor "aww…you jerk!" she was so mad but Damon couldn't careless. He laughed his head off "you should have seen the looked on your face" he said while trying to control himself not to laugh. Caroline threw the pillow in his face and it hit him but this does not stop him from laughing. When she turned her head, she saw a long stemmed red rose in her bed which put her mouth into silence for a few seconds. "What now! You're giving me this as a peace offering?" Caroline said with a confused look on her face "I don't want to break your heart or anything but that's not from me"Damon said. She put the rose in an empty vase and placed it beside her bed.
"What do you want? If you're looking for the journal I don't have it yet…I'll look for it but not now, I've got important things to do so if you don't mind!" she told him while she pushed him out of her bedroom.
"Why do you want to get rid of me so badly?" he said with one eyebrow higher than the other one. "I need to change!" she said and Damon starts laughing again. "Care, I'd seen you naked like a billion of times, you don't have to be embarrassed now?" he said. He jumped straight to Caroline's bed and posed to seduce her. "That's because you compelled me, duh! Now get off I'm going to be late"she said. He left Caroline's room and waited for her in front of her house. Few minutes later Caroline finally left her house, she saw Damon standing against his car waiting for her.
Elena and Bonnie saw them entered the Grill together, Damon went straight to the bar and sat beside Alaric. Caroline joined Elena and Bonnie, they looked at her and raised their eyebrows "what's with you and Damon?" Bonnie asked. Caroline was surprised when she asked that question she even laughed thinking it was a joke. "No seriously Caroline, what's going on between you two?" Elena asked. Caroline told them that nothing's going on with them and that they're just closed friends. After a small chit-chat they left the grill and went to the mall to find dresses.
Caroline doesn't know why they need to shopped; Bonnie told her that Mrs. Lockwood will be holding a masquerade ball in their mansion tomorrow night to celebrate the founder's first masquerade ball. They went to every shop to find the perfect dresses for them.
The day of the masquerade ball came. Elena was wearing a purple dress with a black lace on it and a black mask, Bonnie was wearing a yellow-gold dress with a silver line on the bottom and Caroline was wearing a strapless red dress with crystals on the middle part and a glittered black mask. Jeremy was dancing with Bonnie, Stefan with Elena and Damon was on the bar. Caroline was standing outside the balcony starring at the half moon that appeared to be very bright because of the darkness of the sky. "Thinking about someone?" a stranger (Tyler) appeared besides her, Caroline looked at him and said "I... actually don't know!"
The stranger (Tyler) was wearing a black tuxedo with white sleeves underneath and a tie. He was also wearing a white mask like the mask in the phantom of opera. Caroline went inside to get a drink; she saw Damon sitting on the bar alone, she walked over to Damon and asked him why he's alone. Damon told her that he's not in the mood for a dance and that he is thinking about the place where the witches died. Caroline grabbed him to the dance floor and asked him to dance with her. Few minutes later, the music changed into a romantic one Damon grabbed her so tight; he smelled Caroline's hair as they danced to the romantic music. Damon realized that he is falling for her but he does not want everyone to know his feelings especially her because he's afraid that it might drive her away.
On the half-way of their dance the stranger (Tyler) appeared again with a long stemmed red rose "may I?" he asked Damon. He gave Caroline the rose and danced with her, he swung Caroline and as their hands were about to meet Caroline slipped. Her left hill broke but good thing that the stranger caught her waist before she fell like in the old romantic films. They starred in each others eyes for a minute and Caroline remembered a particular person whose eyes are like those, a sparkly brown eyes. She snapped out of it "I'm sorry! I…I need to get some air" Caroline said and left. She sat in the garden and starred in an empty space thoughts of Tyler was coming back to her mind and she doesn't know why. She was very confused between her feelings of hatred and love. The stranger followed her in the garden, he stand in front of her and offered to fix her hill; he knelt down and removed the shoe from her right foot. He broke the right hill to make it even and put it back in Caroline's right foot, Caroline blushed. "Wow… for a second I thought I'm Cinderella" she said. The stranger sat beside her and they talked for a while, Caroline was talking continuously and the stranger can't stop himself not to smile.
"I'm sorry I noticed that I've been talking to you about nonsense and if you want to get back inside your free to do so" Caroline said. "No your fine I love listening to your stories I wish we could do this more often" the stranger said. "We have been talking for like half an hour and I still don't know your name? I'm Caroline by the way". Tyler doesn't know what to do that time he was just starring at her speechlessly luckily Damon entered their conversation and gave Tyler a dirty looked. "Where have you been? I've been looking for you everywhere, we have to go!" Damon told Caroline. "What's going on?" Caroline asked. She was clueless on what's going on around her "Klaus made his first move! That's what's going on… if you haven't flirted to that stranger you would know" Damon said in an angry tone. "I was not flirting with him we were just talking, what's the matter with you?" Caroline said.
They rushed to Damon's house and everyone was there "Elena! Are you alright? What happened?" Caroline asked worriedly. "I'm fine Caroline he was no where near me, he just compelled someone to give us a message" Elena said. "What was the message?" she asked "he wants us to be prepared for the sacrifice" Stefan said. "We have to take him down before he could touch you Elena" Bonnie said "but how are we going to do that? He's an original and nothing could ever harm or kill him" Caroline said. "If we could find where the witches were burned I could channel all their power and use it to kill Klaus" Bonnie said. "We have to find the founders' journals before he does" Jeremy said.
It was midnight already Caroline decided to go home "Care, why don't you just stay here? It will be best for us if we stay together" Elena said "I will be fine Elena don't worry, Klaus isn't after me and besides my mom will be worried" Caroline told her "I'll take her home!" Damon said. Elena was thankful to Damon for taking Caroline home but she can't erase in her mind that there is something going on between those two.
They arrived to her house safe and sound, they said their goodbyes outside the front door "Care, I'm sorry for what happened earlier, I didn't mean to…" Damon said with a serious looked on his face "Its okay, I know that you're just worried about Elena and me too I'm worried about her and I'm sorry too… goodnight" Caroline said. She completely misunderstood why Damon got all upset, she opened the door and she was astonished by what she saw, tears run down from her eyes.
