AN: Sorry I took forever for this little chapter! I've been busy with classes and haven't found free time. I'm not forgetting about you guys though!
Chapter 8 Did that Just Happen?
Pt1 CPOV
Their lips separated and they looked into each other's eyes. Did that just happen? Was the first thing that popped into both of the vampires' minds.
Caroline turned her head away and searched for Elena. That did not just happen. I did not kiss Klaus. I made it up. I'm just lonely. That's all it was. It was an 'I'm lonely' kiss, she rambled in her head, It wasn't even that great.
She caught sight of Elena, at the top of the stairs. She slumped over, but picked her dress up and rushed over to meet her friend.
After climbing up the stairs she walked up to Elena. "Hey," she said quietly. She pretended to look occupied by watching other couples dance. "Ick. Matt and Rebekah. Why is he even here? She's a she-demon," she grimaced.
"Shouldn't I be asking you the same thing? What's with you and Klaus?" Elena asked.
Shit! Caroline cursed in her head. She was hoping that her friend didn't see anything that just happened.
"He's forcing me to go as his date, and as a means to prevent anyone from dying, I agreed," she rambled off in one breath.
"What happened two minutes ago?" she asked.
The vampire was starting to get panicky and she looked at Elena. "Why am I the only person you're looking at? Don't you have two Salvatore boy toys to look at?" she asked, deflecting the attention.
"Caroline, you can talk to me," she said.
"No I can't because I don't understand. Klaus is the bad guy. He's the reason Tyler and I broke up, so just lay off," she said.
The next thing Caroline saw was a patch of brown hair in her view and warm arms wrapping around her.
"I know how you feel, care. I need to tell you something," Elena said. She let go of the other girl and looked into her eyes. "I kissed Damon," she exhaled.
She rolled her eyes, "Bonnie already told me. Thanks for leaving me the last to know," she said. Elena had no room to talk. Damon was the bad guy, used to be at least.
"I'm sorry," she said.
"I'm sure you are, Elena. I guess this just means you have no room to talk. You understand that he abused me right?" the blonde growled, moving a curl behind her ear.
"Not now, Care. I don't want to fight," she sighed.
"Who said I was fighting? I'm going to go now. Matt looks like he needs to be saved from the she-demon," she said and rushed down the stairs.
PT 2 KPOV
Klaus took his eyes off the lovely blonde for two seconds and she completely disappeared. He caught sight of her dress and Caroline was rushing up the stairs. She was having a conversation with the doppelganger and she looked flustered.
"Having fun are we?" said a familiar voice.
He tilted his head down, looking away from the young vampire. "Yes I am, Elijah," he said. "I am glad I decided to come."
"So what is that you have with," Elijah said and shoved his hands in the pockets of his tuxedo pants. He turned to his side and looked at Caroline for a brief second before looking back at Klaus, "Caroline," he finished.
"I like her. She has spunk," he admitted. "Not a dull moment with her," he chuckled.
"Why Caroline though? Elena's her friend and she was dating Tyler, correct? Your first successful hybrid," he said.
Klaus pursed his lips together. "I understand that, brother. She has a lot to learn and I want to teach her," he said.
"That's why? Because you wish to teach her a thing or two?" he said.
"No, it's not just that. I feel like.. we can relate," he admitted.
He wasn't sure how or why. There was just something her that he was attracted to.
He looked back over at his Caroline and saw her rushing down the stairs. She looked somewhat upset over something.
"Excuse me. I must return to my Cinderella," he said and rushed over to the bottom of the staircase.
AN: I am still writing up Chapter 9, I might be considering changing the rating of this from T to M. Don't be alarmed if you see a change.
