I didn't get to writing last night, I was way too tired, so I just started writing today, the second I had the time! There is a good chance though that I will update again tonight!


Dream On

'Hi Cara!' Caroline said smiling, getting up to give her a big hug. Cara hugged Caroline back, thinking about how nice it was to hug someone without feeling guilty.
'I'm so glad you could make it! I need to hear everything!'

'What do you mean?' Cara asked innocently.

Caroline tapped her foot. 'You are not going to tell me you didn't make any move today? Since you left this morning?'

Cara's face flushed and Caroline looked triumphantly. 'See! I knew it! Spill!'

'Fine,' Cara obliged. 'After I left, I went to the Grill, to grab something to eat. I hadn't eaten yet and I was starving. While I was sitting there, Klaus came storming up to me. He heard about the encounter that morning, and was kind of furious. He wanted to know what happened, since he didn't believe Damon. I confirmed what Damon had said, since it actually was the truth. He was mad at me for supposedly breaking our deal, which I didn't. If anyone did, it was him. But, since Kol was so nice, I asked Klaus about it. He said there wasn't anything good in Kol, which I rejected immediately. Cause if there wasn't, this morning would've gone differently, don't you think?' Caroline nodded, urging Cara to go on. 'So, I compared him to Kol. Klaus can be a nice guy, so why can't his brother be too? I told Klaus I was going to find out either way, and he agreed to help me, and look out for me. He took me to his place, to wait for Kol. I think Klaus rather had us meet somewhere he could keep an eye on us, instead of out in the open. When Kol arrived, everything went by really fast…' Cara explained what had happened, and how happy she felt when Kol kissed her back. 'It was… It was like this magical feeling, Caroline! Everything felt right, everything fell into place! You should've seen the look on Klaus' face, it was priceless!'

Caroline chuckled. 'I can believe so! But, Kol actually kissed you back?' Her eyes were round with disbelief.

Cara nodded. 'He was conflicted big time. He said I had made him burn when I sat downstairs, while Klaus was holding me after I hyperventilated. He was jealous! He doesn't get the feelings, he has been shoving them away for too long, but he has them. And that is good enough for me.'

Caroline shook her head. 'Kol, jealous. I am really happy for you, Cara!' she said, but then gave her a cautious smile. 'Have you talked to Damon about this already?'

Cara's face fell. 'I did. Klaus walked me home, to raise as little suspicions as we could, and Damon walked in to us. He noticed something was wrong straight away, and it took him only one guess to find out it had something to do with Kol…'

Caroline grabbed Cara's hand on the table. 'Did you tell him the truth?'

'It seemed the best option. I don't think lying would've made things better. I told him everything, about how I still loved him, but probably loved Kol more.'

Caroline gasped. 'How did he take it?'

'He obviously wasn't pleased to hear it, but he said he should've seen it coming. He was unbelievably mad at Klaus, though. I defended Klaus, but Damon left as soon as I went upstairs. I hope they just talked it out, without hurting one or another.' Cara sighed. 'I just hope we can be friends, after all of this has cooled down. I don't want to lose Damon, and I don't think he could bear to lose me completely.'

Caroline smiled. 'I am truly happy you found Kol, and I hope you and Damon will be friends, because I still think Damon would do anything for you!' Caroline's smile wavered. 'By the way, you talk about Klaus as if he is this great guy. You even defended him! Don't you know what he has done?'

'I know what he has done, but he has done nothing wrong with me. The only complaint I can come up with is that he is overprotective of me, for whatever reason. It feels like a big brother, and I like it. He's actually fun to be around! Which is good, because if I am to see more of Kol, I surely will see more of Klaus.' Cara winked. 'You should give him a chance, really. You could just be very close friends, you wouldn't have to betray your love to Tyler!'

Caroline looked unconvinced. 'You really think he is a nice guy? I mean, he said he would kill Tyler when he found him! That's horrible!'

Cara smirked. 'And isn't he looking for Tyler thoroughly?'

Caroline just sat there. 'He isn't,' she whispered. 'Why?' She looked into Cara's eyes.

'Because he does care about you, which you probably know, even if you haven't admitted it to yourself yet, and by killing Tyler he surely isn't getting into your good graces.'

Caroline shook her head. 'Klaus doesn't care about anything,' she said firmly. Cara smiled at this, because she heard the insecurity behind it. You're welcome, Klaus, she thought smug.

The girls just sat there, finishing their drinks. 'I am going to go now, I am truly exhausted. It's gonna be a hard day tomorrow,' Cara said, her face sour.

She said her goodbyes to Caroline and went back home.


She was not surprised to find Damon gone when she got back, but she was surprised to find Stefan and Elena. She tried to sneak past them, but of course she had no such luck.

'Cara! You haven't met Elena yet, have you?' Stefan yelled after her. After muttering some horrible things, she smiled and turned around.

'No I haven't. Pleasure to meet you,' she said as convincing as she could. She wasn't the biggest fan of Elena. Elena nodded and gave her a beautiful smile.

Cara looked at them and saw there was something wrong. 'Okay, spill. I am tired, and I do not have time for these little games. Just get it off your chests.' She folded her arms and stared at them.

Stefan sighed. 'Damon was right about you. You are hard to hide things from.' When he stopped Cara looked at Elena, raising an eyebrow.

'We heard about Kol,' Elena said softly. 'Damon told us, he was quite harsh about it, so he is hurt as hell. He also told us Klaus was still worried about you. But Klaus is not the only one. We all are,' Elena said, looking sincere.

Cara shook her head. 'I kissed him, once. Then he kissed me, once. It's not like we're getting married next week!' Cara yelled in frustration. 'Look, I appreciate you guys looking all out for me, but nothing truly happened yet.'

'Klaus seems to think a lot happened. He said he saw something change in Kol,' Stefan explained.

'And nobody figured that this change could be a good thing?' Cara countered.

They both just stared at her.

'Right. Well, I am going to bed, since I am exhausted. It will be a miracle if I will be able to get out of bed tomorrow. Good night,' she growled and stomped up the stairs.
