Caroline didn't know what to think after reading the text. Who's Marcel? Who sent this to me?
Caroline POV
Caroline was trying to not be alarmed by the anonymous text, but the moment she saw the gym all the hard she had put into decorating was worth it. The scene looked as if she was in Paris herself, twinkle lights hung everywhere, and she could see that everyone was having a great time. She smiled proudly as Klaus said to her
"What an amazing job you've done Caroline" he said to her with loving eyes.
"Thank you Klaus" she replied smiling at him
Just then Bonnie and Matt came up to her and gave her a hug.
"Caroline! The gym looks so perfect! I bet you had been stressing out the entire time" Bonnie said laughing
"No, haha, it was stressful, but I'm just happy everything came out perfect!" Caroline said proudly
"Well ladies, you both look beautiful, may I have this dance with both of you?" Matt said holding out two hands.
Bonnie took his right hand, and Caroline turned to Klaus hoping that he would be okay with the dance. When Klaus nodded, she was relieved; after she got his approval she happily took Matt's left hand. The three of them danced to Florence and Machine's "Shake it Off".
While they were dancing, she looked at Bonnie with a look trying to inform her that she needed to speak with her. After the song had ended Caroline told Matt to tell Klaus and she and Bonnie would be right back cause they were going to go to the restroom.
"I have to tell you something Bonnie" Caroline whispered to Bonnie
Bonnie grabbed Caroline's hand and instead of the restrooms she lead her into an empty classroom.
Klaus POV
Klaus was enjoying seeing Caroline singing and dancing. She was so beautiful in his eyes, that seeing her happy meant that it was going to be that much harder to tell her goodbye.
He walked over to the punch bowl and grabbed himself a cup and drank it in one gulp. All of a sudden Matt was standing there next to him.
"Caroline told me to tell you that she was going to restroom with Bonnie, she'll be back in a bit man." Matt said as he gave Klaus sign of cheers to him.
Klaus couldn't help but be jealous that Matt had not only been Caroline's boyfriend once, but that he got to kiss her but not him.
"Matt, can I ask you a question?" Klaus asked
"Sure" replied Matt
"Caroline means a lot to me, when you two went out how did you both remain great friends even if it meant your romantic relationship was over" Klaus asked him honestly
Matt took a moment to take in the question, and then he replied.
"Caroline and I were great together, she made me happy and I made her happy. When I found out she had turned into a vampire, I felt my heart break a little only because it was change that I couldn't accept at first. But she's still Caroline, we tried to work things out, but then she had developed feelings for Tyler. I never hated her, but I think it was clear that even though we weren't into each other romantically, we had promised we'd always look after each other."
Ah yes, the subject of Tyler Lockwood was one Klaus detested, all the while knowing that he would be stupid to try and come back to Mystic Falls. Caroline had not mentioned to Klaus any mention of Tyler, and is hoping he is never brought up.
"Thank you Matt. Seeing that you said that you two made a promise to each other that you would look after her, I'm going to tell you a secret. I have to leave Mystic Falls tonight, midnight actually, and I need to you protect Caroline when I'm gone." Klaus said this with all seriousness.
"How long will you be gone?" Matt asked
"To be honest mate, I don't know, there's a chance I may not come back." Klaus said with his head down.
Caroline POV
Caroline showed Bonnie the anonymous text message she had received.
"Care, when did you get this?" Bonnie asked concerned.
"Right as Klaus and I were about to walk into the school." Caroline said worryingly
"I think I have heard of a vampire named Marcel." Bonnie said quietly
"Where! Who is he?" Caroline begged
"I have covens in New Orleans, I don't associate with them because they work darker magic than I do down there. From what I've heard he's basically the king of the vampires in Louisiana. The real question is who had your number, and why would Marcel go all this way to find you?" Bonnie said.
"I have no idea. I've never been to Louisiana." Caroline said honestly
Caroline had to think, why Louisiana. Why would this vampire king try to find her? A thought occurred as it came to Caroline of someone who she hasn't seen in a while that may want her in trouble.
"Bonnie, how soon could you do a location spell?" Caroline asked
"I can start one this instance, who did you have in mind?" Bonnie questioned
"When was the last time Hailey made her presence known in Mystic Falls." Caroline said firmly.
