New Chapter! So I will try and keep in the story lines for now, but I make no promises.
Caroline POV
I sighed looking around me. I was at school again, in the crowd of aging teens. Something I would never get...to age. It wasn't bad or good to me, I would miss seeing what I would look like when I'm older, but at the same time I could do anything now that I could do later.
I remembered everything we discussed in the meeting when Rosalind left early. All of us agreed to give Rosalind a chance, but at the same time we would act like we had never heard anything about Rosalind or anything she said. It was a pretty good arrangement especially with how everyone had been arguing left and right.
"Hey Care," Bonnie greeted me. I smiled over at her in true happiness. I was glad things were slightly back to normal with Bonnie and me. Ever since the both of us had been dragged into the mess we began getting closer.
"Hi, Bonnie!" I greeted right back.
"Some past few days," She said. It had been, we hadn't just made a compromise about Rosalind. Drama and Action. That's how to sum up the past few days.
To start off, Rose had told Elena and now, everyone about Klaus. Elena visited Katharine instead of going to school, and she learned A LOT about what was going on. A witch, vampire, werewolf are needed to reverse the curse along with the doppelganger. Katharine also is the safest one in town now because of the tomb. Damon and Rose had a romance moment or thats what Stefan assumed from coming home from Elena's. Elena has been quiet lately and I don't blame her. She blames herself for everything happening because she's the doppelganger and as true as that is, she shouldn't blame herself for it. It's not like it was her choice.
OH! And Damon told us that he and Rose met up with some guy named Slater who knew like everything. And while there the glass window got shattered by some force that was obviously created by a vampire. He also said Slater told him and Rose what was needed for the moonstone curse to be removed. But he won't tell us what he said, no shock there.
I also told Stefan about Tyler knowing what I am, and he was the only one that knew. Telling anybody else would probably get me injured or killed by them and I wasn't in the mood for that.
"It has," I agreed. I saw Elena slowly get out of her car, she looked so dull. So unhappy. I felt bad about that, knowing I was a part of the problem.
"Hey Bon-" I started to say but stopped when I turned around to see Bonnie walking off with the new cute guy, Luka. Was it just me or did Bonnie and him hit it off right away?
"Okay, nevermind then," I said to the space of air right next to me.
"Talking to yourself, Forbes?" Tyler asked, walking up beside me. Tyler and I had grown tighter due to each of us knowing the others secrets.
"Hey Tyler," I said. I kept glancing over at Elena. I felt bad seeing her so upset, I don't think I could go through that. I wonder how she could? Her parents had died not too long ago either.
"Are you okay? You seem distracted," Tyler's voice was a distance away. I blinked a few times before facing him. Oh, he was talking me! What had he said?
"Huh? Oh, I'm sorry Tyler, but I really need to go and talk to Elena. I'll catch you later," I gently brushed my hand against his shoulder and walked away. I took a small glance over my shoulder and saw Tyler's expression grow a little sadder too. Again, couldn't blame him. It's not like he could talk to anybody about what was going on with him...they would all think he was crazy or worse, they would believe him. I just looked away, knowing I would change my mind if I kept watching him.
I walked along the uneven ground with my black wedges on. It would have been a difficult task if I was human, but now that I had super vampire skills it was pretty much like walking on even ground. Maybe I should tell Elena that to get a smile...
"Hey Elena!" I called. My bag bumped alongside my hip as I caught up to her. Elena turned her head to me, and I saw how bad she really was. Her eyes were bloodshot once again with dark circles under his eyes. She was wearing the usual poker face she had naturally been wearing ever since she talked to Katharine. God, Katharine was such a...such a...there needed to be a new word to describe Katharine. Nothing fitted her correctly. Hmmmm...Frezzle. Katharine definition is Frezzle.
"Hi Caroline, what's up?" The voice matched the expression.
"I think a Bonnie and Luka relationship is on their way. Those two talk a ton!" I started to babble. I was hoping if I talked like nothing was wrong than maybe Elena would get back to a somewhat normal attitude.
"And I can't blame Bonnie. He's a good 8 on my rating of hotness," I added on. Elena actually smiled at me! I felt a sudden joy of making the old depressed Elena disappear, but it disappeared as soon as it came.
"You and Tyler are becoming good friends," Elena observed. A hint of curiosity sparked in Elena's eyes. I shrugged my shoulders, than bit my lip. I didn't want Elena to loose that spark of emotion.
"Yeah, he's a good person to be around. He's not as bad as people say, just troubled," I replied back to her. The curiosity stayed in her eyes as they flickered from me to Tyler than back again. Yay! She's staying curious, I feel accomplished.
"So have you heard about Emily Madison's party?" I asked her. My bag slowly started slipping off my shoulder and I put it back on the comfortable space of my shoulder. Elena just shook her head, sending her long brown hair side to side.
"Oh, I heard it was going to be a total bummer anyway, so going would be a complete waste of time," I reassured myself more than her.
Rosalind POV
I sighed, watching Caroline chat to the new out-of-it Elena. Everyone else thought she was depressed, no doubt, but I had other theories. I think she thought it over and is in thinking mode. That's what I would be doing when I had been their age, but that was long ago. In fact, I never was 17 in my past life. I was frozen permanently at the age of 15, and have been living for 745 years after that. Over the course of time, though, I have matured and learned things others never experienced.
Yet, I stand here watching Elena suffer through so much pain and it took so much will power not to go and help fix the issues...but I knew better. I was too chicken lately to even go out in public because I know their watching me, they always have been. When Elijah wanted to meet me I knew something was up.
"Ah, Rosalind. I thought you wouldn't show," His tone had been impatient, not like the usual joking tough guy tone. The wind blew Elijah's hair into his forehead. His hair was somewhat messy for once and I felt joy in seeing it. Very rarely would Elijah be un-orderly or gross looking. I have never even seen him without some fancy outfit on, since suits were invented he would wear them every time I saw him.
"Why wouldn't I show?" I asked. The silence that stayed in the air wasn't awkward, just intense. The two of us were a good three yards apart, and the stillness of everything surrounded us made me feel like I was in a movie.
I felt it. The staring following my every movement, I just didn't want Elijah knowing I knew. This would cause problems at the moment, and I just wanted to know what he wanted.
"I didn't know if you would change your mind since hanging out with the doppelganger or with the Salvatores. You know, I'm starting to think you aren't worth it anymore," Elijah gave me a subtle hint of a threat. I smiled up at Elijah. He would always try and scare me with these tiny hints, but I never begged or became scared of him. At moments, Elijah would terrify me, but I needed to be careful around him. He knew Klaus, and Klaus was a reason to shiver in your shoes.
"Elijah, have you been spying on me?" I asked him. My eyes widened at the thought about how right I was to have been careful. He let out a low, dangerous chuckle. This time, it sent a shiver up my spine.
"Of course not, now matters need to be discussed. Klaus is not happy," I put my hands in my jean's back pockets, letting him know that I was willing to talk. This is how our discussions usually went; we would chat for a bit, he would threaten me, I would get suspicious, and he would throw the topic away and get to the real matter. But, the way he said of course not did have me in doubt. He was smiling when he said it and his eyes pierced down on me.
"Ah, so I'm here to help once again?" I asked.
"Yes,"
"What will it be this time?"
"Oh, you see, I want you to go and get closer to Elena, find out what she knows. Tell us her plans,"
"You want me to become her best friend?" I asked, and a laugh escaped my lips. Sorry, but that just seemed funny to me. Why on earth would Elena want me as a friend?
"No, your not actually allowed to really talk to her about anything besides the weather, latest gossip in the mortal world..understand?" He asked.
"So you want me, your daily vampire, to go and talk about the normal discussions about a girl who knows almost everything about the supernatural. And then you just expect her to tell me everything she knows and what she plans to do?" I asked back. Elijah was getting frustrated as he glared over at him. It was scary, I felt like he was stabbing me through the heart with a tree branch. Like he was burning me at the stake. This was a time where Elijah rocked that frightening guy look.
"No, go and talk to somebody who knows just as much as she does and will know about where she is and what she will be doing," He paused.
"Jeremy Gillbert?" I gasped. He nodded.
"Go and party with him. Talk, become friends. Begin to date. Just don't compel him," Elijah informed me. I gave a weak smile and walked towards Elijah. He didn't stiffen or tense up like some would, he just stood there.
"And if I don't help? And don't be a fool Elijah. They got you once, and they can get you again. They are good, a good team made up of brilliant people. I respect them," I told Elijah. He took my advice to thought with a quick nod than the same cruel smile.
"You will help whether you can to or not. Has Damon told you that he has eaten a human? Probably not, because he doesn't remember ever doing it," Elijah said. I could feel my eyebrows crumpling in confusion. What was he talking about?
"What do you mean?" I asked.
"I compelled him to suck a human dry, it worked," Elijah told me and disappeared. Wh-hat? They could compel other vampires? Oh no, oh no. Oh no. I took a deep breathe than closed my eyes in concentration. He hasn't compelled me so there was no reason to unless I didn't follow his directions. Then I realized Elijah had taken my advice seriously.
I felt happiness at Elijah believing me, not only did this mean he thought highly of my opinion, it meant something else was up. Usually, he would dismiss something I would have said like that, but not this time. And I think I knew why.
When I was called for my part in the Mission Of Mystic Falls, the one where I had to rid the whole idea of vampires existing, there was no training to be done. You had to go in there by yourself and do the dirty work by yourself. For me, I had spent years learning the place and the people. Who was high in standards and who were vampires. There wasn't that many in the beginning of my job but later on, many appeared. In fact, it was getting hard to hide so I stopped. I pretended to be human and no one ever expected anything different, not even Katharine. But, that's not the reason he listened to me. It was because I had killed many humans/vampires in that time. I knew what was the best way to fight, and how to fight it. I became a professional after the years I spent there.
So when saying that there are people out there who could kill him again, he would have to listen. I knew fighting, it was something I was the best at.
I stopped watching Elena, though, for she was not my priority. I searched the grounds for the similar brown eyes. Ones that I would have to get used to looking at. I stopped when I saw him talking to the witch.
Jeremy Gillbert.
I would have to talk to him when he wasn't with anybody who knew about me, that would just end badly at the moment. I was going to come back later when that new kid came up, Luka was his name. I watched as Bonnie and Luka began talking excitedly and I felt bad for Jeremy. He was just standing there, awkwardly. Actually, he began to inch away from them before completely walking away from them. Bonnie and Jeremy exchanged a bye, but other than that Jeremy was on his own.
I couldn't help but smile at my dumb luck, and I looked around me before running full speed out of the woods and to the parking lot. I ended up squatting down behind one of the cars before I knew I was in the clear. I stood up straight and avoided anybody who might know who I am as I walked to Jeremy.
"Hey, Jeremy!" I called out. And he turned around, so weak and fragile as a human. Some one I would be using to save myself, I was weak and I knew it.
I'm sorry Jeremy...
So, I'm sorry about taking a long time, I just couldn't decide what to do. Reviews are loved ;)
