Okay the previous one was small. So I'm making up for it with this one. I honestly have no idea what to do after this. So just bear with me xD PLEASE keep the reviews coming, I didn't know they'd be so important to me.

Chapter 7

As the day ended, Veronica approached Caroline, who was currently talking to Lexi. "Hey Caroline! You're coming tonight night?" she asked. Caroline didn't realise they'd made plans.

"Come where?" She asked. Lexi joined in and said "Ohh! The welcome party at the Mikaelsons' mansion? You mean you weren't invited?" Lexi asked increduously.

"Well. She is now." they heard a voice behind. She turned around to find the most tolerable Mikaelsons of them all. "Elijah." she said. "Miss Forbes." he said. "It would be my privilege to invite you to the party at our house tonight. I hope to see you there and we can make amends to the rather" he paused, almost smiling "discourteous acquaintance with my family."

"Sure.." she laughed nervously. After all, when an intimidating man like him is inviting you so politely and elegantly, you simply cannot refuse.

Stefan had barely entered his house when the door flew open and in barged a very bossy looking Caroline. "Stefan. Salvatore." she hissed. "You wanna tell me how you and the new hot guys in town who completely get on my nerves happen to be old friends?"

"Wait you think they're hot?" Stefan asked, smiling.

"Ughh. You took that from all that I told you?" she asked, lifting her hands up in defeat.

"Okay okay" he laughed. "Maybe this isn't the right place-"

"Well, if it isn't for Vampire Barbie." Katherine entered the hall, looking all too smug.

Caroline's jaw dropped to the floor. "Please tell me that is not the crooked, bitchy, narcissistic version of Elena living in your house." she said to Stefan.

Katherine smirked "No. I'm prettier." she said.

Carolined turned towards Stefan and he could only sigh. "She isn't leaving. Besides, baby-sitting her here is better than having to follow her everywhere."

"Well, we have Damon for that, who would be more than willing to follow her around. If he isn't doing it already." Caroline said, exasperated.

"Heard that!" Damon shouted from another part of the house.

Stefan had his brooding look back on. "Right. About Klaus." he said, which got Katherine's attention.

"We knew each other in the 20's. I didn't remember him until I saw Klaus' face. Maybe he compelled me to remember him only when I see him the next time. And Rebekah and I happened to be together then, though I don't remember much since-"

"Since you were in ripper mode. Yeah. WAIT. WHAT? Klaus compelled you? But vampires can't be compelled."

Katherine groaned. "Are you really that dumb or you're naturally blonde?"

Caroline looked indignant and said "Hey! I-"

"-Original vampires can compel humans as well as vampires, Care" Stefan said, noticing the colour drain out of her face.

"Oh my god." she repeated a few times. He could compel even vampires and she tried to compel him and the bastard didn't even say a thing. Oh she was in some deep shit. Oh he was so getting grilled tonight.

As she entered the mansion with Bonnie and Elena, Stefan and Damon approached them, a drink in Damon's hand. They both looked over Elena first and before Damon could comment on Caroline's bold red dress, she looked at him and said "Don't." and he smirked. "Blondie! Now your control freak nature is trying to reign in my freedom of speech too?"

Bonnie stepped in to defend her best friend. "Well, she'd only be doing the world a favour you know?" she said. He finally noticed her and said "C'mon Bon-Bon. Always the mean girl with me. We are in this together, remember?" he said. They had all agreed to attend the party to know more about the Original Vampires and why they were in Mystic Falls. Among other reasons, Caroline thought.

"I don't feel good about this." Bonnie said nervously. "My mind keeps drifting back to my dream, Care. I just - "

Stefan assured her "Hey. There's nothing to worry about. We're all here together and I don't think they mean any harm to us." They looked around the mansion.

None of the members were seen and the rest of the drunken students attending the party seemed to be everywhere. The music stopped and everyone groaned. A very drunk Lexi stood near the DJ, adding her own songs in and the music began again. Everyone roared and got back into the party mood.

"We don't talk anymore. We don't talk anymore, like we used to do"

Caroline froze. She looked up at the roof, as if she were talking to God Himself. "Seriously?!" she hissed. This night couldn't get any worse as the song reminded her of him. But then, each one of us thinks of someone when we listen to this song.

"Don't wanna know, the kind of dress you're wearing tonight"

Focus. She thought. She had to take control of herself.

"Now I can't get you out of my brain. Oh it's such a shame"

"Hello, Caroline" she heard the all-too-familiar voice. "Don't look very happy there, is everything alright?" he asked.

She turned to look at him and tried her best not to think about how absolutely dashing he looked. I'm not letting guys mess with my head anymore, remember? Said the angelic side of her. Yeah but does he even look like any guy? Said the demonic side.

She shook herself out of her thoughts and looked at him, chin raised. "Oh I'm as fine as I can be" she almost spat at him. He looked at her, amused and said "Well, you look ravishing tonight. Almost matching up to your – what was it? Ahh – hot attitude"

Her cheeks immediately turned red and that's what her eyes saw too. "Listen, Mr. Cocky, you don't have to gloat over that incident, okay? It freaking happens! And do not think you can embarrass me by using it. You should've told me you were a vampire – hell. An Original at that! You can't just waltz into town and act like freaking Tom Cruise. Ugh just leave. me. Alone."

"Well, well. My brother seems to have gotten under your skin already, darling" Kol said, taking her hand and kissing it. Okay, apparently it's a habit that runs in the entire family. Klaus smirked, looked at Kol "Brother!Why don't you do what you are supposed to unless you want to visit the comforts of your wonderful box" he said, smiling at Kol, whose face was now painted with a frown. Offering his arm to Caroline, Klaus said, "Let me make it up to you with a drink, sweetheart."

Caroline's inner war was apparent on her face. The demonic, evil Care said yesssss. If you need an excuse to go then just think you're trying to pry information out of him and the angelic one said no. Don't go. You know you'll regret-

She had already accepted his arm. Oh to hell with it. She thought.
