Emptiness… all around her… inside of her.

She knew that this was not real, but she couldn't get out of it... She was stuck, she can't be stuck, she needed to leave... She needed to get out, she wanted to scream and let someone know that she was here, she needed to be saved… BUT HOW!

She looked around, white walls, white floors, white sealing, no doors, no windows…. She was trapped inside of nothingness.

She sat down in the middle of this "room". Knees up against her chest, head bowed down on, her arms around her legs. How did she end up here? She thought that she was done with… with what? What was she done with? The pain? She'd be a big fool if she thought that the pain was over. The pain was in her; wherever she went there is pain, where ever she looked there is pain. She never realized that fact, but it was true.

Just when she was drowning in her sorrows a sound came from the far corner. She looked up.

She tried to ask who was it, she wanted to know who was there, but she couldn't make a sound. She stood up to see who it was. She kept trying to talk.. HELLOO! She screamed in her head, but nothing came out.

Just when she was close enough to that white corner, fire engulfed the whole room; all around her there was red clashing with yellow and orange heat. She tried to scream, to get someone to help her. She didn't survive Travis to die HERE!

Save me please!

"Lye! Wake up," she wake up with a jump. She looked around, trying to remember where she was. Then she focused on Caroline and everything came to her at once. She was safe, at her mother's best friend's house. She was safe.

"are you ok?" she looked back up at Caroline. She didn't have the will to answer, so she smiled and nodded. "are you sure? You looked like you were having a nightmare sweetie" Caroline sat down on the side of the bed, and laid her hand on her knees, and gave it reassuring squeeze. "I'm here for you, ok? We are sisters now, and you can tell me anything that is bothering you, ok?"

Lye didn't know what to say, it's been a long time since she had someone to listen and comfort her.

"I will, thank you for everything" she finally said after a long silence.

Caroline gave her a sweet smile, "good, now that you're ok, go shower, and wear these, we have a lot to do" she said and stood up again, she walked to the door, and then looked back "what are you waiting for? Go get ready woman!" she giggled and then went out closing the door behind her.

Lye shook her head and got up, having a sister is going to be a pain in the ass, but a pain she is willing to have. It was her dream ever since she was a kid, when she first saw Caro, she knew that that blonde baby is going to be her baby sister, and now she is.

she took a quick shower, Caro, god bless her, put some new body wash and shampoo and conditioner for her in the bathroom. It smells heavenly. It smelled like fresh water and cotton flowers.

When she finished, she put on the clothes Caro laid for her on the bed. She put on the high-wasted light denim shorts. Followed by a lacy cream-color, cropped top and a long lavender cardigan. It was simple and she loved it, she put on her convers on. She braided her long hair to the side and then went down to meet a waiting Caroline.

"It's about time missy, I thought you'd never come down" she walked up to her and smiled, "they clothes fit you perfectly, you and Bonnie have the same built, that's why I called for reinforcement" she smiled her dazzling smile and then looked towards the living room's door. There stood a beautiful African American girl. She was wearing black leggings, and a long white shirt, with high heels.

"Hi, I'm bonnie" she smiled and gave a little wave.

"Nice to meet you Bonnie, I'm Lye. Thank you for the clothes" she said shyly.

"Oh don't sweat it, when Caro tells me that her long lost sister came, I have to come, and it's the least I could do"

She was warmed by that, Caro said that she was her sister.

"You didn't put make up on? How could you not?" Caroline frowned, "if I leave without foundation and some mascara I'd be screwed, and not in a good way" she said wiggling her eyebrows at the last part. "But you, damn you and your perfect complexions and thick lashes, I hate you" she said with a pout.

Lye couldn't help but laugh at the last part, and the face Caro made. "If it makes you feel better, I don't know how to put make up on, and that's why I don't bother" she said with a shrug.

Both Caro and Bonnie looked at each other, and then looked back at her as if she's a sheep and they're the hungry wolves. "ummm… ok I'm scared now" she mumbled.

"Don't be, we'll teach you how to put on make-up, and we're going to buy you new clothes, and a new evening gown, we need that for tonight's party" Caroline explained about their plans for today as they walked out the door.

"what party?" Lye looked confused

"Mystic Falls Spring founding family party, we have one of those every once in a while, and since your mom was part of the founding families, you are a part of this town as well." Caroline explained as they got into her SUV, she got in the front and Bonnie got in the back.

"We're going to go to the city mall, not the one we have here, we need all the stores we can find, and there's plenty there" Caroline drove like a crazy old lady, she didn't mind the traffic lights, and she flipped anyone who stood in her way, she wasn't an angel after all.

Bonnie put her hand on Lye's shoulder and smiled, "you'll get used to it"

They made it to the city mall in 30 minutes, it was huge. She looked around the, there's hundreds of stores in this mall, and for the first time she felt like squealing.

Caroline didn't want her to stand and stare, she start moving which forced her and Bonnie to run after her, they zigzagged through the stores, buying things that she didn't thought she needed, make-up, shoes and clothes and more, she got dizzy of all the colors and different shapes and the fashion, and she didn't know what suit her "body type" which she found out that she is petite and athletic, even though she never played any sport in her life.

After four hours of shopping, she couldn't stand on her feet anymore, and judging by the look on Boonie's face, she felt the same way.

"Caro can we sit down and eat, we need food and a break" Bonnie suggested. Caro looked about to object, but the look on Lye and Bonnie's faces told her that they really needed it.

"sure, let's go to the food court, I'm hungry too" she said, and led us to the food court.

Lye and Bonnie got salads and fries, and Caro got a veggie burger and fries.

They ate and talked and discussed what they're going to wear to the party. Caroline decided to wear her new silver dress, it was short and fitted, and it looked perfect on her. Bonnie decided that she's going to wear a black dress that she bought a while back and never wore it, she said its long and sparkly which made Caroline happy. Lye decided that she's going to wear the new dark blue dress that they got, with high heeled sandals. They all decided to get ready together, that Bonnie would sleep over at Caroline's house so they get ready next morning together.

"I wish Elena was here" Bonnie said, looking sad, she wished her best friend would be here, she didn't like how things didn't go right for her friend.

"I know I hope Damon would bring her back, and we just hang out like old times" Caroline said, toying with a bitten fries.

"Who's Elena?" Lye asked

"she's our best friend, she lost all her family in a short period of time, and she just flipped, her boyfriend took her for a break, we hope she'll be back soon and she'll be ok" Caroline explained looking as sad as Bonnie did.

"I'm sorry, I hope she'll be ok soon, I can see the two of you miss her" Lye said, feeling bad for the two friends. She didn't know how it feels to lose a friend, she never had anyone before, but she knew how it feels to see the one you love in pain and you can't do anything about it.

"I hope so too" Bonnie said, and Caroline nodded.

They finished their food, and they got up and bought the few things they needed for tomorrow. Before they left the mall, Caroline went into a cell phone shop and talked to the sales guy. He nodded and start doing what she asked for. Lye looked at Bonnie, but bonnie only shrugged not knowing what Caro is doing.

15 minutes later, Caro emerged out of the shop with a bag with the shops logo on it and a wide smile on her face. She handed Lye a large phone, Lye took it and looked up at Caro with wide eyes.

"that's my gift to you, for finally coming, and that way I can bug you even when I'm not around," she grinned, and Lye couldn't help but give her a big hug.

"you didn't have to do it, you already bought me all these clothes" she said sniffing and wiping the single tear that fell down her cheek.

"honey everything we bought today is from your own money, your mom left you a lot of money with my mom. Mom invested the money and it grew, so the clothes we bought today it's from your money, but the phone is a gift, so be happy and smile, and lets go back and unpack all the clothes we bought" she grinned linked her arms with both Lye and Bonnie as they walked out of the mall.

Once they got in the car, Bonnie asked Lye to hand her the new phone, she put in her number and saved it "in case you need anything or you need saving from the little monster you live with"

"Hey, now no insulting the awesome girl in the car" Caroline wiggled her eyebrows and Bonnie just shook her head.

Once they were back home, Caroline helped Lye unpack her new stuff, while Bonnie went back home to pack an overnight bag and come to stay with them.

After an hour and a half of unpacking, the closet was filled with clothes and shoes. Her vanity was filled with new makeup, perfumes, lotions and brushes. Caroline even got her new hair straightener and a blow dryer.

Lye put the dress she's going to wear behind the door and stared at it, it's so pretty she can't even believe her eyes. Bonnie suggested that Lye should put her hair up in a Dutch braid, Caroline agreed, saying that her bone structure is perfect for that.

Lye didn't mind anything, what did she know about fashion? She liked the way they treated her and wanted her to look the best.

Caroline left to make sure that the party was organized the way she wanted it, since she was the one who was putting it together.

Lye laid down for a bit and then she went down to get something to drink. She got a bottle of water and went to the living room to look at the pictures on the wall. She found two of her mom and Liz. Her mother looked so beautiful; she wished she looked like her.

"Is that your mother?" a voice came from behind her, startling her; she dropped the bottle and turned around to see Klaus standing few feet away from her.

"How did you get in?" she asked backing away from him, but she forgot about the fallen and tripped and fell backwards, she expected to feel the pain, but she didn't, she felt strong arms around her waist.

She opened her eyes, to see blue eyes staring down at her. Klaus smiled and pulled her closer to him, she gasped and that made him smile even more. She pushed at his chest, and after a minute he let go.

"How did you do that?" she asked glaring at him, "you were far away"

"I was already walking towards you, Love" he gave her a lopsided smirk

"nice try, I wasn't born yesterday, you did something and I will find out" she glared at him, and it seem that it only made his amusement level go higher. "How did you get in? Don't tell me you have a key, coz I know for a fact that Caroline doesn't trust you that much"

"hmm you talk about me with Caroline?" he smiled and sat down on, "now tell me, Love, do you talk about my fine bone structure, or my more than fine behind?" that made her blush, she didn't know why, but it just done that, and she hated that he had that effect on her.

"none of that, she actually said to never trust you, and to stay away from you" she remembered Caroline's words when she asked about him.

"I see. Well then I should get going, I will see you tomorrow at the gathering. Make sure to look for the dashing young British" he laughed at the wide eyed look she had on her face. "I'll look forward to see you, Light" and with that he walked out, seconds later she heard the door close behind him.

She knew she's screwed, she didn't know what, but there is something about Klaus that made her weak in the knees and have sweaty palms.
