A/N: New Beginnings has reached 100 reviews! Thank you to everyone who has been reviewing!

100th reviewer: LAYABOO

PLEASE READ: Regarding this stories ratings, I'm debating whether it should be T or M. So far nothing to mature has happened, but obviously future chapters will be different. For scenes like those (*cough cough* smut) I don't think I'm very comfortable writing or if it would even come out good, however if you guys would like it, I'm willing to try. So, please leave an opinion if you review on what you think.

Chapter 10: The Supernatural

"Grams what's going on?!" Bonnie shrieked.

Bonnie and Caroline were trying to get her attention for the past five minutes but Sheila continued to ignore them. Instead she was closing all the curtains and locking the door.

After Bonnie had called, her Grams had arrived as fast as possible. Without another word of exchange between them, they were in the car and she was speeding down the road. Of course Bonnie was firing her questions in the car as well while Caroline kept looking behind them to check if anyone was following. None of the girls understood what was happening and Sheila wasn't doing anything to ease their frustration.

"Both of you stay away from the front door," Sheila muttered whilst closing the last curtain.

"Grams!" Bonnie shouted once more.

"They're vampires!" she replied immediately.

Caroline and Bonnie froze to their spots in utter shock.

"Va-vampires?" Caroline stuttered out.

"That's impossible," Bonnie said out loud even though she was mostly speaking to herself.

"Then why did you call for me Bonnie? You know they are different."

"You knew didn't you? That's why you told me they were dangerous," Bonnie realized.

Sheila sighed and moved the window, peaking behind the curtain. She turned back to the frightened girls and motioned for them to go upstairs.

"I didn't know, but I had a hunch. I talked to some of the other witches and my suspicions were confirmed," she said, once they were upstairs.

"Witches?" Caroline asked confused. "Okay so first vampires and now witches?"

"Actually it was the other way around," Sheila said.

"What?"

"Witches came first— never mind. First things first, the Mikaelsons are very dangerous vampires. And now that you know about them, I'm sure they aren't going to ignore it."

Caroline took a big gulp of air and brought her two hands together to her face in thought. So the Mikaelsons were vampires (is it too late for her Edward fantasies?) and along with vampires, witches existed also? It's like everything she knew about her world took an entire 360.

"How did you both get out of there?" Sheila asked.

"I'm not exactly too sure to be honest. One minute they were there and the next they were falling to the floor grabbing their heads," Caroline answered.

Sheila suddenly smiled, a reaction the girls were not expecting, and turned to Bonnie.

"Your powers have peaked."

"Powers?" Caroline asked dumbfounded. Tonight was filled with all sorts of drama and confusion

"Witch…" Bonnie muttered under her breath. "I'm a witch," Bonnie said louder, the idea finally dawning on to her.

"Like I've been saying," Sheila smiled. "But we need to get your power under control. The sooner the better. Getting the Mikaelsons down with your magic is almost impossible since you're a beginner. Although the Bennett's have always been a very powerful witch line…" she said trailing off.

"You're a witch too?" Caroline asked.

Sheila nodded.

"Caroline, I need you too call your mom and tell her you're staying here tonight. Do not tell her what's going on. It's safer if she stays out of it."

"But she's the sheriff. Don't you think she could do something?"

"And they're vampires dear."

Caroline reluctantly nodded and took out her phone to text her mom. "What are we going to do about the Mikaelsons?"

"They can't get inside the house unless we say they can come in," Sheila replied.

Caroline walked over to the bed and fell on top of it exhausted. This was way too much information for her to process in one night. The supernatural existed. Talk about crazy.

Just then the ringing of house bell caused Caroline to jump up from the bed.

"Is it them?" Bonnie mouthed to her grandmother. Sheila nodded and brought her index finger to her mouth, indicating for them to stay silent. They all made there way down the stairs as quietly as possible and stayed a few feet away from the door.

Klaus, Kol, Rebekah and Elijah stood on the other side. Rebekah was currently regretting getting involved with Bonnie and Caroline. She knew her brothers wouldn't kill them (at least Elijah) but with them on vervain, it currently made the situation very difficult. With Mikael after them, she and her brothers couldn't have humans walking around knowing about them.

"We know you're in there!" Klaus called out. "You're frantic heart beat could be heard from a mile away."

Still no one moved on the other end.

"We do not wish any harm to come to you," Elijah added.

Rebekah rolled her eyes. Who was he kidding? Especially with Kol and Klaus here, everything that was about to happen was going to be anything but peaceful.

Even after Elijah's comment, nothing happened.

"Yeah, I'm bored. I'm not going to wait for Nik to huff and puff and blow the house down," Kol sarcastically said, and brought his foot up to kick open the door.

But before he could, the door was pulled open. Sheila was on the other end.

Rebekah looked over her shoulder to see Caroline and Bonnie. They were grabbing onto each other's arms, while staring back at her with frightened eyes.

Well there goes friendship.

"Hello," Elijah calmly addressed Sheila.

"You can't come in. Now leave."

"Now don't be like that," Kol replied, smirking.

"We simply wish to compel the girls to forget about what we are. But it seems they are on vervain," Elijah said.

"If you think I'm going to let you anywhere near them think again. Besides, there is no need. Witches already know about vampires," Sheila said.

"Well they seemed to prove other wise at our home," Klaus smirked menacingly and looked over her to look at Caroline. Caroline tried to avoid his gaze but she couldn't. She was trapped.

"New witches. Unknown to their powers until now."

"Both of them?" Klaus asked. He was aware of Bonnie's little trick back at the mansion but he didn't know about Caroline.

"Yes," she said easily lying. "Now I suggest you leave our town and don't come back," Sheila threatened.

Klaus growled and flashed to the threshold, merely a few inches from Sheila. She managed not to flinch back, knowing full well that the only thing keeping him from killing her was the invisible barrier.

"I suggest you don't threaten an Original Vampire."

"And I suggest you don't threaten Bennett witches."

Kol's eyes widened and he looked to Rebekah. "Geez Rebekah! How much did you not tell us?!"

Rebekah didn't reply, since she herself didn't know that Bonnie was a Bennett witch. They were very powerful witches.

Elijah was aware of how quickly the situation was getting out of handed and decided to put out the flame.

"We will leave, no harm will come to you or Caroline and Bonnie."

Klaus stared incredulously at Elijah, not believing his words. Was he serious?

Before he could argue, Elijah was already walking away. Kol and Rebekah followed leaving only Klaus on the doorstep. Sheila slammed the door in his face not waiting for him to leave.

Caroline and Bonnie were about to speak when she gave them a look to stay quiet. She waited until she heard Klaus walk away and then rushed to the girls giving them a hug.

"I never knew you were so bad ass Grams," Bonnie said, attempting to make a joke out of their current situation. Caroline managed to chuckle only it turned into her taking heavy breaths.

"Caroline?" Sheila asked concerned.

"I'm fine, fine really," Caroline reassured sitting down. "Just trying to understand everything going on."

"Come on you girls, I'll try to explain everything."

Back at the mansion, Elijah walked straight to the bar pouring himself a drink, knowing he was going to need it in 3…2… 1…

"Elijah!" Klaus' shouts could be heard from anywhere in the mansion.

"Yes Niklaus?" Elijah asked, taking a big gulp of his drink. Yeah… he would definitely need a couple more.

"Give me one reason why I shouldn't go back to that house and burn it to the ground!"

"She is a Bennett witch," he simply answered. "Along with Bonnie. However I'm not sure where Caroline's witch line descends from."

"And why am I supposed to care?" Klaus growled.

"Because they are powerful. And the witch already knew about us so it's no point in compelling them, as if we could since they're on vervain. We don't kill them. That was the deal. Nothing changes."

Klaus grabbed the glass Elijah was drinking from and flung it across the room. He sped to his studio locking the door behind him.

"And he calls me the dramatic one," Kol commented, leaning against the door.

Sheila sat Caroline and Bonnie down on the sofa after giving them two warm cups of tea. To their relief, she stopped trying 'something new' and made the tea just how they liked it.

"So…?" Bonnie began, urging her Grams to explain.

Sheila put down her cup of tea and brought her hands together, folding them in her lap.

"About one thousand years ago, a witch performed a spell creating a new species. Vampires. They have abilities that humans don't."

"What kind of abilities?" Bonnie asked.

"Well they're stronger, faster, all their senses are heightened. They can also compel people."

"Compel?"

"It's like commanding someone to do something, anything really, and the person who is compelled has to do it— no matter how hard they tried not to."

Caroline remembered Klaus telling her not to scream or move. "Klaus tried compelling me. Only it didn't work?" she said confused.

"I put vervain in both of your teas before you left. It's a herb that prevents them from compelling others. It's also a weakness to them and can be painful if they're in contact with it."

"Is that their only weakness?"

"They can't walk in the sun. But if they were wearing a daylight ring the sun would not be harmful to them. And a stake to the heart can kill them."

"Why did you lie and say I was a witch?" Caroline asked.

"If they thought you were anything but they wouldn't have left you alone. However I doubt they will, I don't trust them."

Both girls sighed and put down their empty cups.

"Well what do we do now? They're vampires, clearly dangerous, and you both are… witches? Where do we go from here?" Caroline asked hesitantly.

"For now you both continue to be as you were before they moved here. Stay away from them. And keep the secret to yourself. They wont let you both go again if you tell everyone. Understood?"

Bonnie and Caroline nodded and retired upstairs going to sleep.

Only Caroline couldn't sleep. She was anything but tired. Okay maybe that was a lie. She was extremely tired. With running through the woods for her life and almost having a heart attack when Klaus and his family showed up at the door, she was on borderline unconscious to almost falling to floor in exhaustion.

But she only rolled around in bed, begging for sleep to come. Her mind was swirling with all the news Sheila had given them. Her life wasn't all black and white. Here Caroline was, living in a small town, going to high school and organizing dances when witches and vampires existed? One of them being her best friend! What other supernatural things were out there?

Finally Caroline fell asleep and dreamt about Bella, her vampire lover Edward, and werewolf Jacob…

A/N: A bit of foreshadowing in the end, but don't worry, this isn't going to be anything like Twilight. Her unconsciousness was just answering the question for her, that other than witches and vampires, werewolves exist as well.

There wasn't much (or any for that matter) Klaroline in this chapter, but next chapter will have them interacting for the first time after the secret it out.

REVIEW ANSWERS:

NIKMIK: why you dont caroline special too? Like witch: That would be a twist but I feel like if Caroline was a witch, that would be too OOC for this fic. However, the Mikaelsons do think Caroline is a witch at the moment, but that won't last for long.
