Chapter 7
Hey guys! Thanks for the reviews! So I couldn't control myself and I had to update this chapter earlier than I should. This is my favourite chapter of all. And thank you to Lily Evans. I think I'll name the story 'The Vampire Diaries: Ordinary People' or world. Still deciding. Can you guys help me? Should I name the story 'The Vampire Diaries: Ordinary People' or 'The Vampire Diaries: Ordinary World'? And to reply Stephanie; now I can't tell you that but she is kinda important so pay attention to her. And to JaneAO202; starting from this chapter the story will be more detailed, and here's a spoiler; Esther is not okay with Caroline, she's planning something quietly. Henrik won't die but somehow, they will still turn into Original Vampires and Klaus will still be the Original Hybrid who needs the Petrova doppelganger to break the curse. And about how Caroline is there and who sent her will be revealed soon as we are leaving the past soon and she only finds out late in the story. The past will last for another 2 or 3 chapters before we head back into the future. I think I'm going to write 10 chapters the past and 10 chapters the future before I end this story since I'm starting two other fanfics. One will be the story I would like you guys to help me with the name and the other is all about Charlotte Petrova and that's why she is important in this story as well. (Well, I just spoiled it, huh?). Oh and I'll be showing a little bit of the future in this chapter. So enough with my rambling. Here's Chapter 7 for you guys. Hope you guys enjoy!
I headed to find Tatia to tell her about Charlotte when I heard someone's voice. It was Esther, and another woman. Wait, isn't that Ayanna?
'I could sense her. She is different. Not human definitely, and she's not a werewolf either since she didn't turn that night. The feeling is different. I have never felt that.' I heard Esther speaking to Ayanna about me so I hid behind the large tree I saw.
'That's strange. If she's not human, not a werewolf and not a witch, then what is she?'
'I don't know but we have to find out. I have a bad feeling that she is dangerous.'
'You shouldn't let her near your children. Not until we know what she is.'
'I will try but it will be hard since Rebekah has become good friends with her. My son Niklaus is also fond of her and Kol as well. Henrik likes her as a sister very much. My husband likes her too. He told me that he cares for her as a daughter.'
'Try not to leave them alone then.'
'Very well. I have to go now, goodbye Ayanna.'
'Goodbye, Esther.' I heard Esther and Ayanna leave and got scared. They know I'm not human. It'll only be a matter of time till they find out I'm a vampire. I gotta contact Bonnie but for now, I have to get to Tatia.
I ran straight to Tatia's hut but I ran into Finn on the way. I walked past him after saying hello but he suddenly grabbed my arm. I looked at him puzzled.
'Is everything alright?'
'I saw you.'
'What do you mean?'
'Don't pretend. I know what you are. You're like them but different. Stay away from my family.' With that, he let go of me and went away. Oh my God! I heard someone when I was feeding the other day, could it have been Finn? Great, so now I have Esther and Ayanna investigating me and Finn knowing what I am. This is bad.
'Caroline!' I heard Tatia's voice calling my name.
'Caroline, have you seen my sister? She's supposed to be home by now.' She was obviously worried for her sister.
'I'm actually here to tell you that Charlotte fell down in the woods and fell unconscious but rest assured she is fine. Maybe just a headache when she wakes up.'
'Oh My God! What happened?'
'She was playing catch with Henrik when she fell.'
'Is she okay?'
'Yes, you wanna come with me to see her?'
'Yes, let me tell Jodis to help me look after Khalon.'
'Okay.' Tatia ran back to her hut and came out after a few seconds.
'Come on.' Both of us ran towards the Mikaelson's village.
(Not Caroline's POV) Least did they know that someone was observing them that very moment.
Meanwhile, in the future.
Bonnie Bennett was walking home from school after biding her goodbye to her best friend, Elena. She was going to go home and try to break the spell that's keeping Caroline in the past. She snapped out of her thoughts when a girl passed her and said;
'Don't waste your time trying to break the spell. When the time is right, your friend will return home.' She spoke with an accent similar to Klaus's and his family's but it was not as thick as theirs. The girl disappeared once she finished saying what she came to say.
'Wha..? Where'd she go?' Bonnie pulled out her phone and texted everyone to meet at the Salvatore Boarding immediately.
The past
Tatia and I were sitting in my room when Charlotte finally woke up.
'Charlotte, sister. Are you alright?'
'Tatia, I am fine. What happened?'
'You were playing with Henrik when you tripped and fell. You hit your head but apart from that you are fine.' I explained to her but leaving out on the blood I fed her to heal her.
'How do you feel?'
'Apart from the slight headache I feel fine.'
'Good. The headache will go away in a few minutes or so.'
'Thank you, Caroline. Niklaus told me you helped her.'
'Klaus and Henrik helped out too.' We smiled to each other and the Petrova sisters left after Charlotte insist on going home and that she was fine. Great, after making sure that Klaus and Rebekah's system are free of my blood, now I have to make sure Charlotte doesn't die within this 24 hours.
'Thank you again, Caroline.'
'No problem.' They left and I saw Kol and Elijah walking up to me.
'Hello, Caroline.'
'Hello.'
'Hello, Kol, Elijah.'
'I heard from Henrik about Charlotte.'
'Oh. She's fine now. Tatia came to bring her home. They just left.'
'I know. We saw them.'
'I believe you haven't eaten the whole day as you were not there for lunch.' Wow, I didn't notice but it was already late in the evening. I wonder why time passes by faster in this time line.
'Yeah, I just notice I haven't eaten.' I laughed at myself.
'I was just worried about Charlotte.'
'You have a very kind heart.'
'Thank you.' Damn it, Kol made me blush.
'We have to go fishing now. Goodbye, Caroline.' Elijah walked towards the woods.
'You should get something to eat, sweetheart.' Kol followed Elijah after he finished his words. Why do they always have to say 'sweetheart' and 'love' and stuff like that?
The future
'What's so important that you had everyone gathered, witchy?' Damon asked Bonnie after Elena, Matt, Tyler, and Jeremy arrived. (Stefan and Damon were already there.)
'When I was walking back from school, a girl past by me and said 'Don't waste your time trying to break the spell. When the time is right, your friend will return home.' And she spoke with an accent similar to Klaus' and his family's but lighter.' Everyone was shocked to hear the news Bonnie just delivered to them.
'Do you recognize her?' Tyler who really missed the girl he loves was kinda freaking out.
'No, I've never seen her before. But I think she has something to do with the reason why Caroline is stuck in the past.'
'You think she's a witch?' Stefan who now was worried about this new mystery girl as well.
'Maybe she's the one who cast the spell.' Matt, the only one that was human and was no supernatural being or powers spoke.
'Maybe, but even the spirits can't break the spell. Whoever casted it but be really powerful.' Bonnie tried asking the spirits to help but was told that they didn't have enough power to help.
'Even the power of a 100 witches can break the spell?' Elena who was also truly worried now.
'No. I think it might now be a 'she' or a 'he' casting the spell. I think it's 'they'. There's no way one witch can have that much power. Not even I did when the witches gave me their powers.' Bonnie explained.
'Maybe, but this is bad. If we don't get Blondie back, who knows what might happen there? What if she changes the past?' Obviously we know who calls Caroline 'Blondie'.
'That's not what I'm worried about. The last time I visited Caroline, she said that Esther is suspicious of her and knows she's not human. I told her to avoid any kind of touching from Ayanna who is my ancestor. She would be able to sense me.'
'But it wasn't even you who casted the spell causing Barbie to be stuck there.' And we know who calls Caroline 'Barbie' too.
'No, but we're friends. She can sense me even if Caroline and I know each other.'
'Well that's bad. Blondie's in trouble.'
'So what can we do to save Caroline.' Suddenly there was a knock on the door. They all went to the door because, who else would come here? When Elena opened the door, she recognized the girl at the door.
'Hi Elena.'
'Hi, Julia, what are you doing here?' Julia was one of the cheerleaders from the squad.
'A girl asked me to deliver this to you guys.' She handed Elena an envelope. Elena took it immediately.
'She's compelled.' Stefan who noticed she was compelled immediately pulled her into the house. He hold her shoulders and looked into her eyes.
'You will not remember any of this or anything the girl asked you to do.'
'I will not remember the girl or anything she asked me to do.' Julia repeated after Stefan.
'Good, now go home.' Julia walked away as Stefan shut the door.
'Why did you do that?'
'I was afraid the vampire who compelled her told her to kill herself after delivering the letter. We've had experience with that, remember?'
'Yeah, come on.' Once everyone was in the living room, Elena opened the envelope and pulled out the letter. She read it out loud.
'I told you that you're wasting your time trying to break the spell. When the time is right, your friend Caroline will return to the present and will not be harmed. Do not think that you can break my spell as I am stronger than any witch you've come across. I do not mean to hurt any of you, I come in peace. I am very sorry that I have to send your friend back into the past but it is the only way. I will make sure she will come to no harm in the past and make sure that she will come home safely. I will protect her from Esther and Ayanna's magic. Your friend shall return in less than a week. I give you my word.'
'Wow, she or he even said 'I give you my word'. So she's the witch who cast the spell but why does she talk so old fashioned?' Damon said.
'She said that she is the one who cast the spell. And she is stronger than any witch I've come across. How is it possible to be that powerful?' Elena placed the letter on the coffee table next to the couch.
'Don't worry. She said that she will make sure Caroline will remain safe and that Caroline will return in less than a week. We should be happy. This is good news guys.' Bonnie was relieved and the others were as well.
'Do you think we should trust her?' Jeremy tried to reason.
'We have no choice, Jeremy.' Stefan was right. They had no choice at all.
'Now, we have to wait.'
'At least we know that she's safe.'
The past
I headed towards Ayanna's hut after some instructions from the villagers. I finally found Esther outside a hut which probably is Ayanna's.
'Hello, Caroline.'
'Hi.'
'What brings you here, my child?' What? Didn't you call for me, woman?
'I thought you called for me?' Esther looked confused.
'I do not recall such an order. I am waiting for my husband.' What the hell? Elijah wouldn't lie so what the hell is going on?
'Oh, sorry I must have messed up.'
'It's okay Caroline.'
'I'm going back now. Goodbye.'
'Goodbye Caroline.' After I was back at the hut I saw Finn and rushed to him.
'Finn, about this morning, I…'
'What about this morning, m'lady?' What?
'We ran into each other this morning by Tatia's hut. And you said..'
'Yes we did but I simply smiled at you. I do not recall talking to you.' The fuq? (A/N please excuse my language) He didn't seem to be lying.
'Sorry, I must have messed up again.' I ran in the hut to find Elijah and Kol leaving the fish they caught on the table.
'Elijah!'
'Hello, Caroline.'
'Your mother said she didn't call for me. Did you by any chance mix up something?'
'What are you talking about?' Hell!
'A few moments ago, we met outside the hut before you and Kol went fishing. You told me your mother wants to talk to me and that she was by Ayanna's hut.'
'Caroline, I think you must have mistaken. I recall saying hello to you and telling you that Kol and I were going fishing but I don't recall telling you anything about my mother.'
'Did you hit your head as well, sweetheart?' What? It seems like everything they know about me being a vampire has been erased. Esther no longer is suspicious of me, Finn doesn't know I'm a vampire and now Elijah and Kol don't even remember telling me that Esther wants to speak to me. What in the world is happening?
'I'm sorry. I'm confused. I have to go.' I rushed out to the woods and sat down on a huge rock. What is going on? What happened? Am I going crazy? They couldn't be lying to me.
'Caroline?' I heard his voice call me.
'Klaus?'
'What are you doing all by yourself in the woods? Don't you know it's dangerous?' he sat down beside me.
'I'm fine. I can protect myself.' He chuckled at this.
'Maybe you can. After all, you did manage to kill that snake.' I like seeing him smile. It was something I didn't see often.
'Yes and I am perfectly fine. What brings you here anyway?'
'Well, I come here when I'm bored. How about you?'
'I just had to clear my mind. Have you seen Rebekah? I haven't seen her since this morning.'
'Oh, yes. After you helped Charlotte, Henrik and Rebekah were called to help the neighbors. They will be back by nightfall.'
'Oh, okay.'
'Caroline, can I ask you something?'
'Of course.'
'Are you fond of my brother, Kol?'
'Huh? No, why would you ask that? I don't even spend time with him.'
'He seems to fancy you.'
'Oh, well he's just a friend.' Klaus smiled at this. I wonder why he was happy when I told him I only think of Kol as a friend.
'Oh.' Was all he said.
'And you?'
'Me?'
'Yeah, you like Tatia, don't you?'
'Yes, not one man, well except for Kol and Finn in this village does not fancy Tatia.'
'Oh.'
'Why do you ask?'
'Nothing. Just curious.' I stand up and tripped over something. I was about to fall when I felt a pair of arms wrapped around my waist. I looked up and saw Klaus. He pulled me up but still stay very close to me. A little too close. I could feel him breathing.
'Are you alright?'
'Yeah, yeah I'm fine.' Suddenly I felt him move closer to me and before I knew it, his lips were on mine. I couldn't think of anything. My mind was telling me to push him away and slap him or kick him in the balls but my body was telling me something. I slowly kissed him back and hold on him as he hold onto my waist. After a while, he pulled back and stared at me.
'I.. I have to go.' I ran off immediately leaving Klaus confused.
What the hell was I thinking? He's Klaus. The man who practically ruined all of our lives. I can't possibly fall for him. Man, this whole time travel thingy is messing with my mind. I gotta find a way back to my time. Since I was in the forest, I decided to go deep in and feed. I fed on a bunny-like animal and did the same thing I always do when I feed on animals. I decided to skip dinner and told Kol that I would be in my room if I was needed. I closed my eyes as I laid down on my bed and let sleep consume me even though it was just around 6 I was tired.
'Caroline!' I woke up to Bonnie calling me again.
'Bonnie! Oh my God! I have to tell you something. Finn found out that I'm a vampire and Esther wanted to talk to me but all of the sudden, it's like they forgot all about it.'
'Great! That means she kept her word on protecting you.'
'Who?'
'Listen. Today on my way home from school, a girl passed by me and told me to not waste my time trying to break the spell. And that when the time is right, you will return home. And then Elena, Stefan, Damon, Matt, Tyler and Jeremy and I were at the boarding house. I told them about the girl and we tried coming to conclusions but then we were sent a letter by the same girl saying that no matter what I do, I won't be able to break the spell. She gave us her word that she would protect you and within the week you will return home safely. She said she's very sorry for the mess she's caused by she said she had no choice. I don't understand that part but I'm glad she's protecting you. Oh and did I mention, she had a faint accent similar to Klaus' and his family's?'
'Wow, so she's the witch who sent me here.'
'Yes and she also said that she means no harm.'
'Well, I certainly am gonna give her a piece of my mind when I get back.'
'No, she's very strong and she might even be the strongest witch to ever exist. Don't make her angry or you might end up dead.'
'Oh. Well I guess I'll be home before the ends, huh?' I was excited. I was finally going home!
'Yes.'
'I'm so excited. But what day is it, by the way?'
'It's Monday.' Oh, so that means I'll at least have to spend five more days here.
'Connection is breaking off. Take care and I'll be sure to share the good news to everyone. Be careful, I love you!' After that everything went black.
The future
(Bonnie's POV)
I came back from Caroline's dream with the good news. But I couldn't tell her the bad news. I just couldn't tell her that Klaus and Tyler are dead. Well Klaus is in Tyler's body and Tyler's still somewhere in there. I was in the cave and I told Klaus everything including the news.
'That's good. But I don't want her messing with the past. She could change history and I need you to get me back into my body.'
'I'm working on it. It's a hard spell. Your body have been restored. But the spell is tricky.'
'I needed two witches the last time I went through this.'
'You won't if you have me.' That voice, I know that voice. It's the girl who sent Caroline into the past. The witch. Suddenly she appeared.
'Who are you?' Klaus in Tyler's voice asked her.
'I am the witch who sent Caroline into the past. Do not worry, she will change some things but all of you will remain vampires and you will still have to break the curse. I am here to restore you into your own body.'
'Why? Why do you want to help?' Why did she want to help us?'
'When Caroline returns, you shall find out but for now, call me Sophia.'
Here's all for now! WOOOW! This is the longest chapter. So who is this Sophia? And why is she stronger than the spirits? Why did she send Caroline back in time and why is she helping them? Who can guess who this Sophia is? Well, please review and tell me whether I should name the story 'The Vampire Diaries: Ordinary People' or 'TVD: Ordinary World'.
