So sorry I haven't updated in a while. My thesis is due today so the last week has been absolutely manic. Thanks for all the reviews and encouragement, it means a lot for me. Anyway, updates will be coming more regularly from now on.
Okey Dokey on with the show.
P.S. The chapter heading comes from the song of the same name by Ben Howard.
All Hail Klaroline! :D
Chapter 2.
My highs hit a new low
Marinate in misery
Like a girl of only seventeen
Man made madness
And the romance of sadness
Beautiful dance that happened by chance.

RECAP: While bending down, two shoes stepped up onto her porch in front of her eyes. She slowly straightened up.
'What are you doing here?'
Professor Shady stood on her porch…No. Not Shane. Silas. Caroline froze then blurred down the steps, but he was faster.
'Now now. There's no need to be frightened Caroline, is it?' His attempt at a smile was about as warm and comforting as hailstones. He stood in front of her, arms wide in a gesture of peace. 'I just want to ask you a question.'
'Well, I don't want to answer your question, so do me a favour and get lost.' she quipped before darting to the door and pulling it open. As it began to open his hand slammed it shut, putting his other hand against the door, he effectively trapped Caroline against the glass.
'Caroline. Sweet, stupid Caroline,' he sighed, gently grasping her shoulders and turning her to face him. 'I'm not your hybrid suitor and I don't tolerate attitude. I will kill you. Now answer my question.'
'W…what do you want?' she stuttered. Her body was shaking and her eyes wide and frightened stared into his cold eyes. Like a shark's she thought.
'Nothing much, just the whereabouts of our friend Bonnie. I can't seem to find her.'
'I don't know,' she answered honestly. Gasping as his hand went around her throat.
'STUPID. USELESS GIRL.' he screamed, leaning into her face. She cringed back against the cool glass, shaking and clenching her eyes shut as spittle hit her cheek. He shoved her back against the door, spinning on his heels in anger. She couldn't move, frozen in fear or magic she wasn't sure. The cold spread of fear ran like oil through her body, pulsing with every passing second as she watched him pace back and forth on her porch running his hands through his hair. Then he stopped and spun on his heel to face her.
'I might be able to make use of you yet. Why don't you use whatever shallow charm you possess to get that cure from Klaus. You have until tomorrow midnight.'
He jogged down the porch steps with light, quick steps. 'Oh and Caroline, I came from a time where useless things were destroyed,' he glances over his shoulder. 'It's a tradition I keep to this very day.' He smirked and disappeared. She mechanically opened the door ad walked into the house. We have cottonmouth. Her subconscious whispered as she crept out from the shadows of her mind, her voice small and shaking. Unable to even answer her Caroline grabbed a blood bag from the fridge and a glass. Filling the glass, she left it on the counter. Grasping the edge of the counter she breathed heavily, the adrenaline draining from her body. Blood in a glass. Very fancy. You know we usually just drink from the bag, I mean who are we trying to kid. We're not posh like those Originals. No sirree. Anyway shouldn't we be making a list or something. You know we are the only ones who organise everything. Okay we should probably start… Her subconscious rambled, desperately trying to grasp some semblance of control over the situation. There was still no reply as Caroline's breaths shifted into sobs. …erm…yeah. So what do we do now?
'SHUT UP! JUST SHUT UP!' she screamed, banging the table with a loud smash and disappeared from the room. The glass shattered and the blood dribbled lazily down the edge of the counter.
