Wicked Dreams

Chapter 18:

Thanks for being patient with me guys! It's summer and I'm trying my best to continue writing between my activities!

…Caroline's House…

Caroline starts to wake up. She looks over beside her only to see an empty bed, wondering if yesterday was just a dream. She puts her hands on her stomach… "Yesterday couldn't have been a dream" she thinks to herself. "If yesterday wasn't a dream and I really did fall asleep on Klaus, where is he? I can't believe he would leave before I got up, wait yes I can!" She lays her head back on the pillow and closes her eyes to think. Her thoughts get interrupted by a big clash coming from the Kitchen. She jumps up and slowly walks towards the kitchen. She walks around the corner and sees Klaus standing in front of the counter.

…Elena's House…

Elena wakes up and looks over at Tobias. She slides closer to him and puts her head on his chest. He wakes up and looks down to her. "Sorry." She says for waking him up. He sits up a little and kisses her.

She kisses him again. "I have to meet Bonnie at the grill." She tells him as she slides out of bed. "Do you want to come?"

"I shouldn't…" he responds.

"C'mon, Bonnie doesn't mind." She tells him as she grabs his hands pulling him to the edge of the bed. "She likes you…" she continues to talk as she sits on top of his lap and kisses him. "I like you." She continues to kiss him.

"Okay, I'll go!" Tobias tells her. She kisses him one last time and goes to her closet to get dressed.

…Caroline's House…

"Did I wake you?" Klaus asks Caroline. She just shakes her head nodding "no" and sits down in a chair at the table. Klaus opens a few cupboards and grabs stuff out of them. About a minute later he sets down a plate in front of Caroline and another next to hers.

"You made breakfast?" Caroline opens her eyes wide to see a perfectly cooked breakfast on the plate in front of her.

"Yeah… why do you seem so surprised?" He asks her. Caroline just stares at the plate, looking confused. "What..?" He asks.

"I… I don't know what this is." She says to him as she pushes away from the table, standing up and walking away. He looks at her confused. "I don't know what this means…" she continues, "you being here, the food."

"It's just breakfast love. It doesn't have to mean anything." He says as he walks towards her.

"No, stop!" she yells to him putting her hands out in front of her to stop him from coming any closer. She's confused and doesn't know how she feels. "I need time," she says to him "time to think."

"Okay…" Klaus picks up his jacket from the side of the couch and walks towards the front door. "take all the time you need love." He says as he kisses her on the cheek. Caroline watches him walk out the door and right when the door shuts she walks fastly to her phone and calls Elena.

…The Grill…

"How is it possible?" Tobias asks Bonnie.

"I don't know…" Bonnie responds.

Elena feels her phone vibrate, she pulls it out of her pocket. "It's Caroline." Elena tells Tobias and Bonnie as she answers it. "Hey Car, what's up?"

"I need to talk to you guys." Caroline tells her.

"She needs to talk to us." Elena mentions to Bonnie. "Are you okay?" Elena asks Caroline.

"Yeah… I'll be fine. Have you and Bonnie figured out how this is even possible?" Caroline asks.

"No, we have no idea… Do you want to meet us at the Grill?" Elena asks her.

"Yeah, I'll be there in 10 minutes!" Caroline tells her and hangs up.

"She's going to meet us here in 10 minutes." Elena tells Bonnie and Tobias. "She wanted to talk to us… I don't know what about but she seemed sad."

"I would be too if I were her!" Bonnie says.

….

"There she is." Tobias points over to the blonde vampire walking into the grill. She walks over and sits next to Bonnie in a booth.

"How are you?" Bonnie asks her.

"I'm okay." Caroline tells all of them.

"What happened when Klaus drove you home from the hospital?" Elena asks her. Caroline knows they are just wondering what she wanted to talk about but she doesn't want to talk about everything in front of Tobias.

She looks toward Tobias deciding to trust him and talk when "I'll go get drinks." He says to them knowing that Caroline wants some space to talk.

"He drove me home, came inside, and I told him." Caroline tells them. They both look surprised and ask how he reacted. "He…" She tries to remember exactly what he said, "he said that he's here for me and it doesn't change the way he feels about me."

"Wow…" Bonnie says, "I didn't expect that."

"Yeah, neither did I!" Caroline responds. "He asked if I wanted him to stay and I kind of did at the moment. I didn't really know what was going on and I fell asleep in his arms."

….

As they continued talking a stranger came in through the Grill door. She walks straight to the bar and orders one drink.

…..

"Did he stay all the way through the night?" Elena asked.

"Yeah he did… I woke to him making breakfast! Can you believe that? Breakfast! But I kicked him out, I said I needed time to think about things." Caroline continues.

"Yeah you do! Especially with you and Tyler not being together anymore." Elena says not realizing that Tyler was still a touchy subject.

"Oh my…"Caroline says as she covers her mouth with both her hands. "What am I going to tell Tyler?"

"Don't tell him!" Elena exclaims.

"You have to tell him Caroline! It wouldn't be right if you didn't." Bonnie tells her.

"Im sorry to interrupt but you've got company listening in." Tobias tells them as he points the women that's sitting at the bar. "She's only ordered one drink the whole time she's been here and hasn't moved, she's a vampire."

"How do you know?" Caroline asks him.

"I was trained, I can tell if you're a vampire by just observing you." He reminds them. They all look to the bar, she gets up and walks out of the grill.

"Come on." Elena tells them as she follows the stranger. They all walk out of the grill to see no one outside.

"Where'd she go?" Bonnie asks.

"She just disappeared." Elena responds. "That's weird, I wonder who she was."

Caroline looks into her purse to find her phone. "I think I left my phone at home." She tells them. "I'm going to go back and get it."

"Okay but come back!" Elena tells her.

…Caroline's House…

Caroline searches the counters and the couch for her phone but still can't find it. "Looking for this?" Caroline hears and turns around quickly to see a women standing by the front door.

"You, you were at the grill… Who are you?" Caroline asks.

"Yes, my names Angie. Are you Caroline?" She asks making sure.

"How do you know who I am?" Caroline asks back.

"Oh my goodness, so you're THE Caroline Forbes?" Angie asks again. Caroline doesn't respond this time and looks at her confused. "The Caroline Forbes that's pregnant with the original hybrid?"

"How do you know about that?" Caroline asks defensively.

"Word travels fast, everyone knows." Angie tells her.

"Does anyone know how this is possible?" She asks. Caroline doesn't care who this person is right now, she just wants answers.

"Nobody knows but everyone wants to. You can't stay here Caroline, you're in danger!" Angie warns her as she shuts the blinds to the living room windows.

"What do you mean? Why am I in danger?" Caroline asks

"Word gets around fast… Some people want to know more, some want to be able to be in your position, and some aren't going to let this happen." Angie tells her.

Caroline walks over to the counter where Angie set her phone down, "Let what happen?" she asks her and she starts to dial a phone number. Before she can dial another number Angie snatches the phone and throws it against the wall.

"What did you do that for?" Caroline yells at her.

"You can't tell anyone about this, it's not safe." Angie explains to her.

"How do I know I can trust you? I just met you!" Caroline asks as she picks up her home phone.

"Fine but I'll be back."

…Mikaelson Manor…

"Find out!" Klaus yells at this tall brunette standing in the corridor.

"It's not as easy as it seems, I don't have anything to go on." She responds.

"Well hurry and don't come back until you have answers." He says pushing her out the door.

"Niklaus." Rebekah announces her presence.

"Sister." He says annoyed.

"Herd about your little predicament you're in… Was that one of your little witches?" Rebekah asks him.

"What are you doing here?" He asks "Aren't you supposed to be away with Stephan?"

"We heard about Caroline." She tells him.

"How do you know about that? Only a few people know." He asks her.

"On the contrary, everyone knows."Rebekah starts to tell him when his phone rings.

"Caroline?" Klaus says as he answers the phone.

"I need to talk to you." She tells him over the phone.

"Okay, do you want me to come over?" He asks her. Then there's a knock on the front door, it's Caroline. She walks in eager to talk to him when she sees Rebekah standing on the stairs.

"Caroline… I should be going now." Rebekah says as she grabs her jacket and walks out the door.

Klaus closes the door behind Rebekah, "whats wrong?" he asks Caroline.

"Everyone knows about the baby." She starts off telling him. "This vampire showed up at my house saying…" she continues until he cuts her off.

"What? What vampire? Why didn't you call me?" He asks her.

"This vampire, Angie, showed up at my house" she ignores his questions, "saying that everyone knows about the baby… And people aren't happy about it." Caroline sits down on the couch before she continues talking. "She said that people aren't going to let it happen."

"Let what happen?"Klaus asks as he walks over to where she's sitting.

"I don't know… she didn't tell me, but she knows more than she's telling."She explains.

"I can find out." Klaus says as he sits down next to her.

Caroline immediately stands up as he sits down, "That's not just why I came here."

Klaus stands up, "Okay, what about?"

"This can't happen." She tells him.

"What can't?" He walks closer to her.

"This!" she moves her arms back and forth in between the two of them. "You…Me… I can't do this."

"Caroline," He walks up to her grabbing her hand. She pulls away, "I love you." He reveals.

"I-I-I love Tyler…" she says questioning whether he loves her back. "I have always loved Tyler."

Klaus takes a second to responds; he doesn't know why that response hurt so badly. He immediately closes up, "Tyler left you, and he's never coming back!"Klaus yells angrily.

"Because of you!"Caroline yells back. "You made him leave and that is why he broke up with me!"

"I might have made him leave but he's the one who broke up with you, I had nothing to do with that! Besides, you can't change the fact that you're having MY baby." He tells her.

"I can't change the fact that I love Tyler still."

"I know," he says and walks away. As soon as Caroline leaves he grabs his phone from his pocket and calls the tall, brunette witch that was in the house earlier that day.

"Klaus?" She answers the phone.

"A vampire…A vampire named Angie, find her. She knows more about this than anyone at this point knows. Find her and get information no matter what you have to do to get it out of her." He demands and hangs up.
