CAROLINE'S POV
I felt something tickling my face. I opened my eyes slightly and saw Sammy using my hair to tickle my face. He didn't see my eyes fully open so he didn't know I was awake. I slowly opened one eye and he just stared. I opened the other slowly and he froze. He had a scared look on his face. I pounced and began tickling him. He laughed and giggled as hard as he could. I stopped andlooked at him. He looked so much like Klaus. "Is that pancakes I smell?" I said and smiled. He jumped off the bed and I raced him down the stairs. He flashed by me and was already downstairs. It was faster than usual vampire speed. If I blinked I could have missed him pass by me. I didn't think much of it because he was young and had a lot of energy.
Mom was making chocolate pancakes, Sammy's favorite. He was sitting in his chair and was very impatiently awaiting his food. I thought I'd see Klaus or Elijah but I didn't see either of them. "Mom, where's Elijah and Klaus?" I asked. "Elijah's out making adjustments to the house but I havent seen Klaus all morning Honey" she responded. I kissed Sammy on his cheek and went outside to look for Elijah.
He was putting up some sort of sensor. "What's all this about Elijah?" I asked. "It's for our safety. You never be too safe Caroline" he replied. "Have you seen Klaus?" I said. "He left early this morning. Something about business with friends. He told me to tell you that he'll be back home soon" he responded. I didn't worry as much as I should. Klaus was strong and so was Elijah I trusted them both since I wasn't able to take care of... nevermind.
Slowly days have passed and I couldn't control my anxiety. Elijah and Mom reassured me as they always did and Sammy made my anxiety a lot easier to cope with. These past few days I realized that Samuel was stronger than any vampire or werewolf I've ever known. His speed, power, and strength were so much more than I could ever expect. He was still a child and he possesed so much power already. I was afraid that he'd wouldn't be able to control himself so to keep my mind off of Klaus and to keep Samuel same I slowly started teaching him to take control of him power. He was still so young but he listened better than most adults I know.
Since Klaus wasn't here Samuel slept beside me. I wanted to keep him safe...or was it the other way around? I thought of what Hayley could possibly be doing to have ust left Samuel here with no notice. She probably didn't even care. That bitch.
It was raining very hard tonight and something just didn't feel right and Samuel felt it too. I hugged him and told him that everything was fine and that Klaus would be home soon. You're lying to yourself Caroline. Yourself and Samuel. I tried my hardest to fight off my conscience but it got the best of me, as it always does.
The rain was hard on the roof and when thunderstruck it scared Samuel. He nestled his head under the pillow and I held him tighter. I saw a shadow by the window but I didn't think too much of it considering that we had trees around the house.
Then my heart stopped when the window shattered and I covered Samuel. None of the alarms Elijah set went off so it must've been the tree. Elijah came into the room quickly and looked out the window. "Everything's alright. It was just the tree. Must have it fixed tomorrow" he said. I wasn't convinced that it was the tree but I went along with it to avoid frightening Sammy anymore that he was already.
The next morning I knew I needed to talk to Elijah. Klaus wasn't just on some business trip. He would have told me himself before leaving. Why would he just leave? Why wouldn't Elijah tell me the truth? I had to find out. Maybe I didn't want to know...No! No! I did. I wanted to know. I NEEDED to know.
I finally got Elijah alone. He was nervous. "Elijah?" I called. "Yes Dear?" he answered. "I want to know the truth. I know that you've been lying to me, to keep me calm. But I need to know. I can't stand not knowing where he is. What if my Mom went missing Elijah what would you do?" I asked. He suddenly looked at me and opened his mouth but didn't say a word. He understood exactly how I felt. Hw would do anything for my Mom as I would for Klaus and anyone I loved. "God I'm going to regret this...He...He went looking for Alexander. He didn't want to wait for one of us to get hurt so he took it upon himself to find him and kill him" he said. My body froze. "How?! Why? Why didn't you tell me before Elijah! How you let him?! You're supposed to be the responsible one? HOw is this fucking responsible?!" I walked away without another word. I hurt him and I knew it. I didn't feel bad, he deserved it. He lied to me for days! And he let Klaus go on a suicide mission! Ugh!
I didn't go back inside. I went for a long walk. I didn't know where I was going and I didn't care. I was so pissed. How could he do this to me? Did he think I wasn't going to find out? That selfish asshole! I hated him right now and if I was a vampire I'd beat him into a pulp!
I sat on the beach. It was beautiful, peaceful. I closed my eyes, smelled the air, felt the breeze. The sand was warm and the ocean waves hit the shore softly the sound soothed me.
The sun suddenly went away. I opened my eyes. "Enjoying yourself there Love?" he said. I punched him as hard as I could in his mouth. "What in the bloody hell was that for?" he asked. "That was for fucking lying to me! And telling Elijah to lie to me! AND leaving for a week with no calls, nothing!" I yelled at Klaus. I got up and he held out a had to help me but I ignored him. I walked further away from the house because I didn't even want to be in the same place with him right now.
He grabbed my hand. "Leave me alone Klaus!" I yelled. "You haven't seen me in a week and this is the Hello I get?" he asked. "You expect to get a Hello when I didn't even get a proper See you later. What if something happened to you? What if something happened to us?! Elijah can't protect us all on his own! You don't think things through and you don't think about consequences Klaus. One day one of us are going to fucking end up dead because of YOUR mistake!" I yelled at him. He was speechless. I kept walking and I knew he stood there frozen as I walked away.
Some hours after I returned home. My bags were packed by the door. What the hell? Klaus was drinking. "Who packed my bags?" I asked. No answer. "Who packed my bags?!" I asked again. "I did." he responded. "Why?" I asked him. "You're right Caroline. One of you are going to end up being killed for my faults...And that'swhy I'm taking you and your Mother back home" he hesitated. "Are you joking?" I asked. "I wish I was Caroline. You've been through enough. I've put you through enough. It's time for you to go back home and live a normal life. A life without constantly living in fear of being hurt. A life without me..." he said. I couldn't say a thing. I tried. My mouth refused to open on command. My face was full of tears. If this is what he wanted then so be it... How many times could I have my heart broken? At this very moment I wish I was a vampire again. So I could turn it all off. Just forget it all...and not feel anything...
