Helloo :)
Yes, she's alive. I can't tell how sorry I am for not updating in forever! I was really busy and when I wasn't busy I had a writer's block. I hope some of you still stick to my story and I will really try to update more frequent. PROMISE.
I decided to start changing the POV a few times …I don't know if it'll be anyone beside Klaus and Caroline yet. We'll see.
I hope you like it and if you like it, don't like it, hate me or love me, please review :)
"Okay, I'm getting really offended, you know that? I tried to reach you a bazillion times, I left you thousands of pathetic voice mails and you probably can't receive any more text massages 'cause I'm bombarding your phone. I really don't know why I'm still trying to contact you since you clearly don't want to hear from me. Okay, fine. I already heard from Matt that you're still alive and Rebekah's going to stay a little longer in New Orleans. And he might join her! Thanks a lot to your devilish sister. Oh and by the way – BEEP". "Dammit! I wasn't finished yet!" Caroline huffed in annoyance and threw the phone on her bed. That was the fifteenth message she left Klaus since the first one three weeks ago. She was really worried about him. After all, they agreed to be friends and a friend worries about the AWOL-ness of another. That's normal. But after she learned from Matt that the oh-so-great Niklaus Mikaelson was alright, she was pissed. She hated being left totally clueless and yes, maybe she was a little bit too persistent in trying to reach Klaus but she couldn't help it. She sighed and sat down in front of the TV. It's not that she didn't have more important things going on in her life. There was the Stefan-thing. Since Tyler's party she and her friends tried to spy on him. But that wasn't very easy since the target left town without a word. Nobody has seen him for three weeks anywhere near Mystic Falls. She and Damon even went on a four-day trip to look for him in the surrounding area but they had no luck. Damon was even more annoying than before and she wanted to snap his neck more than just once during their trip. Elena and the others held the fort at home in case Stefan showed up again. But there was not a single sign of life of him. Saying that Caroline was worried sick was beyond understatement.
Then there was Tyler. Sure, they should be glued together like a couple which was separated for a long time, which they were. But the more time passed by the more she recognized the changes. Not that only he had changed. Their whole dynamic was different and the spark was gone. She didn't want to admit it yet but the more they were apart the more they became comfortable with being separated. Out of sight, out of mind she thought bitterly.
And as if she didn't have enough on her plate, there was college. Elena and Caroline would enroll at Whitmore College in a few weeks. That meant a lot of preparation like finding a nice dorm for the two of them, shopping new clothes while trying to save money. The original plan was that Bonnie went to college with them. But a few days ago she got a letter from her absent friend which told her and Elena that she'll stay longer than planned with her mom. She was sorry and she wished she could change that but it was a difficult time for her. Caroline was disappointed but also felt very bad for her friend. It was unlikely for Bonnie to cut her and Elena out but they couldn't do anything about it. Caroline's thoughts were disturbed when someone knocked at the door. She went to open up and rolled her eyes. Of course, she had forgotten about that. "Hey Blondie, nice to see you again." "Katherine. What do you want? I thought you would leave me alone for a couple of months" Katherine smirked. "Well, I thought so too but I was in the neighborhood and I couldn't leave without paying my favorite blonde a visit" Caroline sighed. She really wasn't in the mood for one of Katherine's mind games. "Okay, thank you for stopping by. Next time you come to Mystic Falls be sure not to visit me again" She wanted to slam the door in Katherine's face but the doppelganger stopped her. Caroline took a deep breath. The girl was really trying her patience. "Aww Care bear, don't be so grumpy. You should be glad I'm willing to share the news I found out with you" Katherine's smirk grew bigger as did Caroline's annoyance. "Thanks but no thanks" She turned around, ready to go away until Katherine said "Even if involves Tyler?" Caroline stopped dead in her tracks and turned around in a blur. She raised an eyebrow questioningly at the brunette. Katherine giggled. "Oh, now you're listening. You know, I really don't have to tell you this but considering the fact you'll help me get what I want –" Caroline wanted to object but Katherine just continued "and you will help me, believe me you will. Where was I? Oh, right. I was travelling around a little bit, searching for some information regarding my case. And you won't believe what I found out while I was in Sawyer" Katherine chuckled again and Caroline resisted the urge to rip her head off. "Sawyer as in…?" she asked instead. "A cute little village in North Dakota. Seemed boring at the beginning but about one third of the 300 something population is supernatural. So, while I was searching for a certain witch I overheard a girl talking to the bartender. She asked her about her boyfriend and when he was coming back again. The bartender, a small brunette, sighed and told her that he had to deal with a loss in his family and he wouldn't be back any time soon. And now, my dear Caroline, you have to guess the name of the boyfriend" Katherine smirked at her expectantly while Caroline glared at her. No, she didn't believe it. "And why would I believe you? Tyler wasn't in the USA most of the time he was running from Klaus. How would you even know it was him?" Katherine sighed. "What benefit would I have if I lied to you? I just thought you might want to know that your great werewolf wasn't a lonely puppy while he was away. Besides, I even took the time to talk to the bartender about her boyfriend and she was so in love that she showed me a picture of him. In case your Tyler isn't a doppelganger I really would have a serious conversation with him if I was you. Which I'm gladly not" With that Katherine turned around and left.
Caroline stood there dumbfounded for a few minutes. She couldn't believe it. After all, this was Katherine we were talking about. Her middle name was Manipulative, followed right by Bitch. But a small part in her was doubtful. She really had no use of ruining the relationship of Tyler and Caroline. And he was gone for a long time. Most of that time, she couldn't reach him. What if he really found another girlfriend? As if on cue, her phone rang and she went back into her room. It was a message from Tyler. 'Hey Care, wanna meet me at the Grill?' Caroline gulped. 'Sure. Be there in 15.' She had two options now. She could either pretend that Katherine never told her this story and try to keep up the image of a perfect couple or she could confront Tyler with it. She thought about it for a moment and then grabbed her keys and her jacket and left the house. It would definitely be the latter.
"Oh and by the way – BEEP" Klaus listened to the message for the third time. He smiled when he heard Caroline's annoyance and he could imagine her standing in her room and tossing her phone away after the voice mail ended. He sighed. Truth be told, he was surprised when he saw the missed call three weeks earlier. When he listened to her first message he was even more surprised that she was worried about him. He thought after letting Tyler come back to Mystic Falls, Caroline would've completely forgotten about him. But she didn't forget him. Which she showed in an impressive way while terrorizing him with calls and messages. Usually Klaus would be more than pleased by Caroline trying to reach him but it wasn't the right time now. And he still didn't know how to explain this mess to her so he settled for the easiest way: don't speak to her at all. Although it wasn't that easy, really.
"A new message from Caroline? God, I can't believe how Matt could ever date that thing. She's bloody annoying" Klaus sighed at the sight of his sister. Though he loved her dearly, he didn't like the way she talked about Caroline. "Well, he persevered two weeks with your lovely company. Either he's a masochist or he likes blondes with a proclivity for drama" He chuckled at her annoyed face and took a sip of his drink. "Have you talked to Hayley today?" She asked and his smile faded. "I haven't talked to Hayley for two weeks now, sister. Why is it any of your interest?" Rebekah sighed. "Well, Elijah practically begged me to look after her today since he had business to do. Although I wasn't very pleased of the thought I did it. God, she's really up the duff! I mean, if I didn't know it better I would say this child will be born tomorrow! What's with these supernatural pregnancies anyway? I guess she won't carry the baby for nine months" Klaus' face darkened. "I don't know Rebekah. As you might have forgotten, I've never seen something like that before either. I guess we'll just have to sit and wait" Rebekah nodded and left the room. Klaus sighed and refilled his glass with Bourbon. Then he went to the window and looked at the beauty of the city below him. The city which once belonged to him. Without even noticing he took his phone and listened to the voice mail of the beautiful blonde who had no clue what was going on in his life. Again.
Yes ... We'll see what's going on in New Orleans. Yaay :) Also, I just had to let Katherine tell Caroline about Tylers misbehaviour .. it just made sense to me. Can't wait for the confrontation in the next chapter. And you'll see more about our favourite Original family :)
