Chapter 7

Caroline POV

Klaus hasn't taking his eyes off of me all morning. Not once. He has been watching me clean up, do the dishes, get dressed, and pick up the plastic cups from last night. What is up with him? He has even helped me more than usual with stuff like he won't let me pick up alot of things. Finally, around 12, Bekah came down to help clean up her party mess.

"Nik, could u go and help Matt pick up the kegs in the back?" Bekah asked as she walked in from the kitchen.

"What about Kol or Elijah? They aren't doing anything." He said without taking his eyes off of me.

"Elijah is out getting something to get that out of the ceiling." She pointed up. "Kol is in his room having fun with his new toy, Bonnie. And I don't want to go up there to ask. So if you want to go up there to get them to clean be my guest." She says as she walked over to me and grabs the trash bag from me.

"Come on, Klaus. All you have done is sit there and drink more. So you need to get up and help." I said as I get up on the counter to get the cups that were on the shelves.

"Fine, but you need to get down from there." He grabbed me by my waist and lifted me down. I rolled my eyes at him when I heard the front door open. Elijah and Tyler walked in. Elijah was carrying some bags full of cleaning supplies and Tyler had two kegs in his arms.

"Where do you want these, boss?" Tyler asked.

"Out back on the burn pile. Is Jeremy with you?" Bekah asked. Tyler walked through the house to the back. He looked to me as if asking me to come with him.

"I think there are more cups out back. Klaus, could you go and grab some more trash bags?" I said as I walked away from Klaus. He sighed and went to get some. Bekah stopped me before I went out.

"Care, does Nik know?" She asked. I looked at her and nodded my head. Then walked out.

When I got outside, I started to pick up some cups. Tyler threw the kegs on the fire and turned around to me. "What happened? Why...I mean..." He took a deep breath and tried to speak again. "Are you okay?"

"What do you mean?" I am very confused. This is about the time that he starts to yell at me for some reason. Is it that Klaus is watching from the sidelines? I look to see where Klaus is but he is nowhere in sight.

"I mean...who are you looking for?" He asked. I jumped in surprise and my stomach hurt when I did that.

"What? Oh, nothing...I just thought i heard something. Okay what what did you mean?" I started to pick up more cups and set them on one of the tables that weren't broken.

"I mean are you okay? Like did that guy from last night hurt you? Did Klaus hurt you want he took you up to his room?" He asked as he tried to help me pick up some of the trash.

"Okay, I'm fine. And what do you mean the guy from last night?" I ask as I walk away from him.

"That guy with the accent." He said as he saw Klaus start to walk out of the house with a handful of trash bags.

"That were lots of guys with accents that were at the party. One is my b...is Klaus." I quickly stopped myself. Tyler raised his eyebrow in suspicion. I saw in the corner of my eye that Klaus had a wicked smile on his face.

"Wait.. what was that word you were about to say?" Tyler asked as he stepped closer to me.

"The word of which?" I say to Tyler when I played dumb. Tyler looked straight at me and then only glanced at Klaus. Then went back to picking up the kegs and throwing them on the fire. "I don't even understand why we are even burning those. Shouldn't we just toss them in the trash?"

"I don't know I am just following orders." Tyler said as he threw another on the fire.

"Since when do you listen to orders?" I asked as I crossed my arms over my chest. "If I remember correctly, you were the one who told Klaus that you didn't want to be his bitch."

"Yes, but then after he went and bit you, love." Klaus said as he handed me the bags. "I think that was following orders." I rolled my eyes and walked over to the rocks where i sat last night with whatever his name was. I leaned down and to pick up some of the cups and shirts that I found over there.

"Care, will you grab that last kigg that is over there in the bush?" Tyler said as he tossed the last two kiggs that were on his pile.

"Sure. Hold on, I will toss it over to you." I said as I walk over to the bush. I leaned down and started to pull on it when it suddenly lifted out of with bush and over my head. What the hell?

"I told you, love. Don't lift anything today!" Klaus said from behind. "You maybe a vampire but you are still having a child, love. And not to mention, it is my child."

"Oh i'm sorry, Nik. I promise not to EVER do that again." I say with a smirk and took my hand off of the kigg. I turned making sur ea bit of my hair hit him and walked away from him.
