Chapter 3
Caroline
Prom day was finally here and I was actually quite excited for the night. I woke up early and went straight to Elena's house. We all decided we would get ready at her house. Even though I was going solo to the prom Bonnie and I had decided to be each other's dates tonight while Elena went with Damon. She was lucky to have someone with her to love and spoil her. For an odd reason I was jealous again, I missed having a guy to cherish me. After breaking up with Tyler I felt the need to take a break from guys but I also hated the feeling of being alone.
Once I officially got to Elena's house my attitude started to change and get a little better. Elena opened the door and behind her was Bonnie smiling and waving at me, we quickly hugged and went upstairs to Elena's room. We all spent the entire day giving each other mani's and pedi's, doing each others hair, eating junk food, and spending time like we used to before everything got screwed up I was letting lose and having fun with my best friends again.
By the time the evening hit the we began to put on there dresses and putting the last finishing touches to our hair and make up. "Wait! Caroline I have something to give to you," Bonnie said aloud. She quickly left the room and in a few minutes she was back holding a small box and gave it to me once I opened all I could do was gasp. There was a lovely corsage sitting on the box, it was a very delicate flower with different shades of lilac that went perfect with my prom dress I was in awe by Bonnie's gesture. "It's so beautiful, you're definitely the best prom date ever but I have to say you kind of ruined my surprise for you," I told Bonnie.
"What do you mean," Bonnie asked curiously. "Well, I got you a corsage too." I smiled at Bonnie giggled. I reached for my purse on Elena's bed and got a small box out as well and passed it to Bonnie. Bonnie slowly opened her box and was surprised too as she saw another beautiful corsage with very delicate white and blue roses. It's beautiful. "Caroline you're the best prom date ever." Bonnie spoke after staring at her corsage in appreciation.
We both hugged and small tears started to build up but we didn't cry. Elena was extremely happy for her friends and joined the hug. "You two are so silly." Elena added while hugging the Bonnie and Caroline. After a few minutes we all ended up giggling like schoolgirls.
...
Once at prom and spending hours dancing with the girls and both Bonnie and I took turns to dance with Damon and Matt, after a while I decided I needed a few seconds alone and get some fresh air, all the excitement was starting to get me really exhausted which was kind of a first. I guess it must be because I had changed my mind about actually coming to prom only a few weeks ago.
While walking outside away from the school's gym I found the small garden the school had built a while ago with a gazebo, it looked like they had take the time to put small lights around the gazebo and bring extra attention to all the beautiful flowers surrounding it. I stood inside for a while just looking out into the forest and then gazing up at the stars. It really was such a beautiful sight up there. Suddenly I heard someone walking towards me, at first I thought it was probably Bonnie checking up on me since I left so suddenly and when I decided to turn around and was completely surprised at who was behind me, once again.
"You look ravishing my love," Klaus kept walking towards me until he was standing right in front of me. I couldn't believe he was here, again, in front of me while I'm at prom. "What are you following me now?" I asked him.
"I would never sweetheart, I was out hunting and found myself here and now here you are. Right in front of me looking as beautiful as ever." Klaus replied. Why is he always doing this? I don't need wonderful compliments from him, he's the enemy and here he is making me feel gorgeous. Making me feel special something I haven't felt in such a long time.
"Sure." Was all I could manage to say back to him. He took a step closer to me and I stopped breathing, if my heart could still beat it would have actually skipped one. Why did he make me feel this way, so wanted? "May I have this dance?" Klaus asked as he put his hand out in front of me for me to take. I slowly placed my hand on his and he pushed me gently towards him and put one of his hands around me and placed it on my lower back while he held my other hand. I was completely bewildered by his actions.
"How are you enjoying your first prom love?" Klaus asked. "It's going pretty great actually." I replied back. "So why are you outside sweetheart?" he asked.
"I just needed some fresh air, tonight has been a little overwhelming." I explained to him. Why was he so interested? I needed to know why.
"Have you decided what you're going to do after high school?" Klaus asked. "No, everything is different now as a vampire. I don't know what I want." I told him. I seriously didn't want to have this conversation with him. I mean I haven't even told my mom or my friends. Why should I spill my guts to him? He doesn't care.
"Why won't you leave Mystic Falls with me?" He added while I was even more confused in my head. "And why would I do that? You're Klaus!" This exasperated me. We stopped talking and just danced for a while. All we did was dance and just look into each other's eyes. I wanted to know why he was so interested in me, was it part of a plan of his? I couldn't let him get to me.
"Perhaps one day, in a year or even in a century, you'll turn up at my door and let me show you what the world has to offer. You mark my words. Small-town boy, small-town life; it won't be enough for you." He said finally putting an end to the silence once and for all. "Why do you care so much about what I do?" I asked I was tired of being curious. "Because I fancy you Caroline." He replied. With that he let me go gave me a small bow and walked to the forest and left me alone leaving me even more confused.

Caroline
High school was coming to an end and I was slowing trying to gain the courage to talk to my mom about what I was planning for after high school. I was scared about hurting my mom feelings I love her. I know our relationship isn't the best and it has gotten a tad bit better since I've become a vampire but I still don't think she'll understand.
It was late evening and I heard the door open. "Caroline?" mom called after me. "Caroline are you awake?" she asked. "Coming!" I yelled from upstairs. After walking downstairs my mom was opening a pizza box and reading the mail.
"Hi honey, I thought you'd be sleeping. Want a slice of pizza?" mom asked. "Of course." I replied. I actually was hungry and I loved pizza too. "Mom I need to talk to you about something." I told her. "What is it hun?" Mom asked she was actually curious as to what I had to tell her. I sat down on one of the stools next to my mom in front of the kitchen and let out a big sight. "Caroline honey what is it? You're worrying me." Mom asked.
I turned over and looked at her, "Mom graduation is coming up soon and by then high school will be officially over. I didn't apply to any colleges and well I think it's time I did something that I want to do. I know we haven't talked much about me being a vampire and I think its time start to. I know it's a hard topic, I understand that it was a lot to take on myself but I think its best for me to leave Mystic Falls and see the world. I've changed so much over the past year and a half while being a vampire and accepting this life style and it's not like I can stay here long anyways before people start to notice that I'm not aging. I don't want to leave you alone mom I really don't but I need to do this for myself. You might not get it now but things here have calmed down during my senior year. I think it's time for me to leave." There I said it I've been holding this in for so long it feels like the elephant on my chest has finally left.
"Caroline you can't leave yet." Was all my mom could say. "And why not? Mom I'm a vampire people will start wondering soon why I'm not aging. I can't stay inside doing nothing but hide once they start to suspect." I explain. I was really starting to get frustrated why couldn't she understand my reasons for leaving?
"What about your friends? What about Elena and Bonnie? Damon's still here why can't you stay?" Mom asked she was really upset. "Mom! I'm not Damon and eventually he'll have to leave too and Elena will have to decide whether she will go with him or stay here at Mystic Falls. Both Elena and Bonnie have they're own plans and I want to make my own. I'm going to be alive for all eternity it's time I start to live for me mom. Don't you understand that?" I replied trying to hold in my anger.
She was silent, "Mom please you have to understand. I'm not going to forget about you just because I'll leave. You're my mother I will never forget you. I love you and you're all the family I have. I will always call you to see how you're doing and when I can I will visit you always and if it's not an option you can always come to visit me wherever I am. I need to grow as a person and I need to see the world and I can't do that here in Mystic Falls. Please understand." I begged her. I wanted her to understand my reasons. She was my mother she will have to understand me at some point. I was not staying here any longer after graduation.
"I am not letting you leave Caroline." Mom stated. What is wrong with her? "Fine mom! Let's start telling everyone I'm a vampire so I can be stuck in this crappy town forever!" I got up and opened the door and walked out. I didn't know what to do I just ran and ran for hours.
...
It was around 2 in the morning when I finally decided to go back home. Mom should be sleeping by now. I made up my mind and I was leaving. I will tell Bonnie and Elena about it later. It was Friday today and I was starting to remember again tonight was mike night at Q Longue. I was already getting giddy inside thinking about singing up on stage. But first I'd have to decide what to wear and what song I would sing.
I lay in bed while trying to find some sleep but nothing was coming. All I could think was about how mom responded to me telling her I was leaving Mystic Falls. Would Bonnie and Elena think the same once I told them I was leaving? How would they react to the news? They were both going to college and Elena was hopelessly in love with Damon and Bonnie was trying to work things out with Jeremy now that he was back in Mystic Falls. They both had some one who wanted them, someone who would love them but I didn't and I feel like no one else here is right for me. There wasn't anything I could find worth it for me staying. I was lost. I was confused; I just don't know what to do anymore. Eventually sleep took over and all dreamt about were the city lights around the world.
I wake up disorientated and with an awful headache. I needed blood, all that time I spent running in the wood and I didn't think to actually stop and hunt something. Oh well there should be some blood bags in the fridge I can eat that. I got up to look at my phone and notice that it was already 10 am! I didn't even hear the alarm go off. Well missing the last day of school wouldn't hurt me. I never missed a day all year. I look again at my phone and notice messages from Elena and Bonnie asking where I was I text them each back saying I didn't hear the alarm and me and mom had an argument last night. They didn't reply they must be in class. I go to the bathroom shower and get dressed. Light makeup on and brushed my hair and went downstairs for some blood.
Once leaving the house I decided I needed to go out and take another walk and think things through. Eventually I would have to talk to my mom again right? Walking through the woods and realized slowly where my feet had led me, Klaus' mansion. I walked to the front door and pressed the doorbell. I was seriously losing my mind.
