Thanks you so much for all the reviews, I really appreciate it! Sorry to any of you who didn't like how I handled the Elena thing, but I wanted this story to be focused on Caroline and how strong she truly is. So, I'm going to stop talking now because I'm starting to become a little corny... Let me know what you think and enjoy!

Caroline did her best to sneak down stairs to the kitchen where all the blood bags, but really what was the point? She stayed here for Klaus, and to be truthful, she should have talked to him yesterday instead of blowing him off, but she was afraid. Besides, one way or another this conversation was going to happen.

She made it to the kitchen with no trouble, even drank some with no problem, but the minute she turned around, an original was standing behind her, but not the one she was expecting.

"Elijah," Caroline said, exhaling.

"Good morning Miss. Forbes," Elijah smiled. "You're up early."

"Yeah, well, a lame attempt to avoid Klaus as long as possible," Caroline shrugged.

"I don't believe you have to worry about that, he has left already," Elijah said.

"Where did he go?" Caroline frowned.

Elijah was silent for a moment, regarding Caroline carefully. "Did he tell you anything about what's going on?"

"To be honest, we haven't talked all that much," Caroline shrugged.

"We use to rule over New Orleans, my family and I. While we were here Niklaus met Marcel, who was a young slave boy. Niklaus took this boy in and raised him like a son, eventually turning him. Mikael then came after us, causing us to leave, and Marcel then proceeded to take over the quarter. Niklaus was ruthless in regaining control over the city we built, and he accomplished just that, but people are still loyal to Marcel. The arrow attack on Hayley proved that," Elijah explained.

"So what is Klaus trying to do, force people into being loyal to him?" Caroline asked.

"Something like that," Elijah said.

"He does realize that will never work, right?" Caroline asked.

"Hopefully you can enlighten him," Elijah smiled. "And avoiding him will never work Caroline, besides he deserves an answer, don't you think?"

Before she could reply, he left, leaving Caroline holding a cold blood bag and even more confused than before. But since she was here, no point in not looking around right? Especially with Klaus gone it should be simpler and maybe time would slow down and give Caroline time to think!

(LATER)

As it turns out, time didn't slow down, it actually seemed to go by faster. One minute she was in the library and it was 3 o'clock, and the next thing she knew she was sitting beside the pool and it was 6 o'clock.

That's were Klaus found her, just sitting Indian style by the pool, starring into the blue water. "You could get in," he offered, walking over to join her.

She looked up at him and smiled. "I don't have a swimsuit with me."

"Swim suits are over rated anyway," Klaus shrugged.

"Klaus!" Caroline exclaimed, but grinned anyways.

"I'm glad you stayed Caroline," Klaus said after a minute.

"About that, we need to talk," Caroline said.

"About?" Klaus asked.

"Please, don't expect anything Klaus, just because we kissed," Caroline said.

"You make it sound small," Klaus said, slightly irritated.

"Klaus, I was drunk, emotionally and in the middle of a break down. What else am I supposed to think about it?" Caroline asked, getting frustrated herself.

"No, you're right, it was nothing Caroline, nothing at all," Klaus said, standing up to leave.

"Klaus wait," Caroline said, grabbing his arm and standing up as well. "Look, I gave up a lot to be here with you, to see what happens between us. All I'm asking is give me time give me time out what I'm feeling."

"Fine, but you have no right to be angry what happened between me and Hayley," Klaus said evenly.

"That's different," Caroline argued.

"How so? Are you telling me you didn't sleep with Tyler while we weren't together?" Klaus said.

"That made no sense," Caroline snapped.

"And neither are you. We weren't together then, so why does it bother you so much that I slept with her?" Klaus asked.

"Because Klaus, I don't understand why her, why her of all people you had to sleep with," Caroline said.

"Are you jealous?"

"No Klaus I'm not jealous, and I don't expect you to understand what I'm feeling, but this hurts. And I'm sorry, but this is going to take some time to get over," Caroline said.

Klaus met her eyes, seeing the pain in them, and the anger. Disgusted with himself for making her feel this way and turned around and walked away, not wanting to see all that pain.

Caroline watched him go, her heart heavy. She wanted to chase after him and explain all the reasons why this bothered her, but she wasn't ready, and she was afraid if she said something now it would ruin their relationship.

With a heart wrenched sigh, Caroline sat back down and starred into the water, letting her mind wonder away.

(LATER)

"Well isn't this a pitiful sight," Rebekah said, walking over to Caroline.

"I'm not in the mood," Caroline grumbled.

"Trouble in paradise?" Rebekah asked.

"Something like that," Caroline muttered.

"Well honestly, what else do you expect? Being in love with my brother and all, you must be asking for trouble," Rebekah said. "And don't even try to deny it, what other reason would you stay behind for?"

"I'm not in love with your brother. I have feeling for him that I'm trying to figure out," Caroline snapped.

"I've dealt with Nik for over 1,000 years, and I've never seen him act this way over a girl, especially one of your nature," Rebekah said.

"Your point?"

"That you must be pretty special if Nik is in love with you. And I know how he can be, a downright pain in the ass, but he is worthy of love. But he's also capable of revenge. So I suggest you don't toy with him like before and sort out those feeling rather quick. It would be rather a shame if he severed your head from your neck."

"I thought you didn't like me?"
"I don't but you distract my brother, keeping him off my back. Also, I found it amusing watching you kick that little doppelganger's ass along with her boyfriend. What did he ever do to you?

"When I was human fed off of me, used me as his spy, and had sex with me, all the while compelling me not to freak out and go along with it," Caroline said.

"Sounds more like he abused you, raped you, and used you for information," Rebekah said.

"Either way, it's over and done with," Caroline shrugged.

"Want me to kick his ass?" Rebekah offered.

Caroline laughed, but shook her head. "Sounds great, but Elena already hates me, I don't think sending the scariest original after her boyfriend will help our already ruined friendship."

"I personal don't think her friendships worth it in the first place," Rebekah shrugged, walking away and leaving Caroline to think that over. She was right in a way, Elena was more trouble than good, but still, she was a good friend when she wanted to be.

What was Caroline doing? She needed to focus on her, this was time for her to figure everything out, not Elena time.

Caroline silently made a promise to herself that from this moment on there would be no more Elena gilbert moments, at least not while she was hear with Klaus. It was a promise Caroline would end up keeping.

So, what did you think about Caroline's first day in New Orleans? A little boring, I know, I just wanted to clear things up, and what do you guys think about the start of Caroline and Rebekah's friendship? I kinda like it, but that's just me! Let me know what you think or any mistakes that I made!
