Chapter 5

Stefan stood at the entrance of Salvatore Boarding House. Out of nowhere he was pushed against a wall. Elena stood in front of him, with her hand on his chest. "Elena?" he asked, confused. Elena smirked, leaned in and kissed his jaw. She looked up at him and said "Wrong." and snapped his neck.

Stefan woke up immediately and looked around. He found her sitting on the chair in front of his bed. "Didn't know it would be so easy to enter your dreams, Stefan." she smirked.

"Katherine." he said, still breathing hard.

"Hello Stefan. Did you miss me?" she said.

"Stay the hell out of my head. And why are you here?"

"What makes you think there's a reason? I'm here to see you."

Damon entered the room, saying "Eee. Wrong answer" he gave her an introductory smirk. "You're Katherine Pierce. There's always an ulterior motive. Why are you here?"

She looked him over once and said "Damon. This is just like old times. The three of us. The brother who loved me too much and the brother who didn't love me enough."

Damon ignored her and Stefan gave him a knowing look, and nodded. He asked her "Are you the one who's leaving a trail of dead bodies on the outskirts?"

She almost looked appalled. "Of course not. I don't leave my food lying around, Stefan. I've been running from 500 years. Can't afford such careless dispositions."

While the Salvatore brothers stood silently, lost in thought, she made herself comfortable with a blood bag and said "Oooh there are new vampires in town? Hmmm interesting" she said and seductively drank from her blood bag while eyeing Stefan.

Ignoring her, he got up to get ready for school.

Bonnie laid wide awake in her bed. She had just got a terrible dream. Or was it a vision? Maybe a nightmare? Mystic Falls was engulfed in a fire like never before. Elena was lying on the ground drained of blood and Caroline had a hole in her chest where her heart was supposed to be. She got up and texted the group to meet her during lunch.

A few minutes before lunch, Caroline was the last one in the practice hall after her cheerleading practice. She was craving for blood. She didn't know why it kept increasing the past few days. She had her headphones on, doing a weird and rather suggestive dance, singing along to the lines of Bang Bang as she sipped through her blood bag.

"Bang Bang into the room. I know you want it.

Bang Bang all over you. I'll let you have it.

Wait a minute let me take you there."

"Quite a fan of singing are we, love?" shouted a voice over her music. A voice she knew all too well. She froze in the middle of her actions, feeling like a kid caught with his hand in the cookie jar.

Can the ground please swallow me up completely? Was all she could think about as her cheeks reddened on meeting the eyes of the smirking bastard, whose eyes widened in surprise when he found the blood bag in her hands.

"Oh! Of course. Thank god for compulsion" she nervously laughed as she approached him with false confidence. Her eyes met his and her pupils dilated, and she compelled him "You entered the hall and found it empty. You will forget seeing me here and every stupid thing that I did. You won't remember the blood bag in my hands. Just remember me as a girl with an attitude. Who you think is hot." she cursed herself for the last bit. Why would you do that? She asked herself. She then picked up her stuff and ran out.

Klaus watched her leave, smirk widening as his doubts were confirmed that she was indeed a vampire. He chuckled at the thought of her singing and the adorable dance she was doing. Her mistake was that she assumed he was human and could be compelled. Sadly, he didn't forget a single thing. Feeling victorious, he walked out of the place in style.

"So she gets a freaky death vision the exact day that Katherine walks into town." Caroline said.

"Co-incidence?" Damon said squinting, pretending to rub his imaginary beard "I think not."

"So why is she even here?" Elena asked, clearly mad.

"She says she's here for Stefan, but we should know better than to trust Katherine Pierce." Damon said. Everyone noticed how Elena stiffened at that, hint of jealousy seen on her face. Stefan wrapped a comforting arm around her and said "That still doesn't explain the sudden deaths of the people on the outskirts."

Bonnie joined in and said "Maybe it was her and she didn't admit it."

Suddenly Caroline sat striaght. "Or" she drawled. "There are new vampires in town who are hiding their identity." she said, her thoughts going to the four new students in school.

Before Stefan could ask what their names were, the four people walked in. It was as if they scene in Twilight was being replayed. She felt Stefan stiffen next to her and saw that he looked like he had just seen a ghost.

Kol and Klaus looked around the cafeteria until they noticed Caroline and Stefan. They flashed their smiles and walked right at them. All the while Klaus' eyes were locked with Caroline's. When they reached them, he looked at her and said "Hello..." and Caroline was mentally preparing herself for a mean reply when he suddenly looked at Stefan and said "Old friend".

"Klaus." Stefan said. Caroline was appalled. That evil bastard, she thought. He then looked at her, smirking victoriously. She then realised he said "hello old friend" to Stefan. Stefan? She looked at him and accusingly said "Old friend? Stefan?! You know these people?"

Kol laughed and said "Why darling, drop the bitter tone. We had a bad start, but I promise you, I'm all fun. Ask Stefan. We go way back" he winked at her. She looked at them for a few moments and reality crushed her. No no no no. She nervously glanced up to see a smug smile on Klaus' face and then asked Kol "Are you guys vampires too?" to which they all shared a secret smile and Stefan said "Caroline. They're not just vampires. They are The Originals."
