Chapter One: Settling in.
The town I was seeing seemed innocent to the eye. A mother walking as her daughter skipped along next to her, an openly in-love couple sharing with us all the disturbing of PDA and my mum, an honourable woman of the Mystic Falls police force. A woman of no evil. A woman of purity.
"Come on, Caroline," She began,"We have to get the house unpacked. The mayor had invited us for dinner, I wanted to be polite and cook dinner for them. So, we have to have the whole of downstairs prepared, okay?"
"Are you insane, mum? We'll never have it done in time!" I exclaimed, helping her carry the boxes inside for the moving truck. "We can try, I'm not saying we can't, but it won't be easy."
"A bit of optimism please, Care. It's a challenge, but we're working as a team, it should be easy."
We managed to unpack the downstairs and stuff the boxes in a small walk-in wardrobe upstairs. The Lockwoods, the mayor's family, arrived shortly after we were showered, dressed and set up.
"Ms. Forbes! What a pleasure to welcome you to our town!" Mr. Lockwood began the conversation.
"Please, the pleasures all mine." My mum replied hastily.
"Ah, Ms. Forbes, thank you for such an effort for us!" Mayor Lockwood continued.
"Don't thank me! Thank my daughter's talented organisation skills!" The attention turned to me and I was greeted by the mayor's son's stare. We locked eyes briefly, but it still sent a shiver down my spine.
"Of course, Caroline, is it not?" I gulped, nodding. My words ripped from my mouth due to the intense stare the boy was giving me. "A beautiful name, for a beautiful girl." I was taken back by Mayor Lockwood's forwardness but gesture for them to take a seat.
"I'm Tyler by the way." The mayor's son breathed down my neck, my cheeks burning a deep pink they hadn't in years, I stepped away.
"You already know my name." I snapped. I didn't miss the smirk that rose to his well-defined face. I swayed my hips, teasing him, as I walked to turn dinner off and dish it up I could feel Tyler's stare in places it shouldn't be. As I walked past with the food, I whispered in his ear, "Wipe your mouth, there's a little drowl..."
I chuckled as I walked away, fully prepared for an amusing night.
Sorry it's not the most interesting first chapter there is but this was my way of showing that Caroline will have no interest in Tyler what so ever! Anyway, there won''t be a lot of Stefan, Matt or Tyler in this story because they aren't exactly what I vision in the coming chapters, but hey-ho... ENJOY!
