Chapter 2

A/N: This is an AU story for the vampire diaries. I do not own the vampire dairies.

Caroline walked into the restaurant where she found Sophie sorting the money in the cash register. She turned to Caroline handing her an apron, a notebook and pen.

"Better get to work, nights are always busy." Sophie explained. Caroline raised an eyebrow before wrapping the apron around her waist. Sophie had been right when she said that nights were their busiest time really.

"Sophie was right nights are really always busier." Caroline said to the girl that she worked with. The girl looked older than Caroline. She had light blonde hair hollow light brown eyes and she worked as the bartender.

"All say. I'm Camille O'Connell by the way." She introduced herself. Caroline smiled to her.

"Caroline Forbes."

"You must be new here, I know it's a big city but in the French Quarter everyone seems to at least know everyone or have seen them at least." Caroline shrugged and nodded.

"Yeah, I am."

"Where are you from?"

"Mystic Falls Virginia. Small town girl not really use to these big cities yet." Camille chuckled and nodded.

"Yeah well I came from Rhode island, I am going to Tulane university and studying psychology actually." Camille said. Caroline nodded.

"Still in high school and not sure where I want to go for college or really what I want to do anymore." Caroline explained.

"The good thing about high school is you don't have to know what you're going to do just yet. But it's still go to think about it. But you have tried something in order to see if you like it and could make a living out of it. I have to go, look at these men piling up waiting for a drink to either have a good feeling or to drown their sorrows. It was nice meeting you." She said walking back over to the bar. It was near closing time and now the bar was nearly empty. Caroline was wiping down the table when she heard movement behind her. A normal human probably wouldn't have heard it but being a vampire she did.

"Were closing," She said.

"Well that's a shame I really didn't get to meet you beautiful." She turned to a man with dark skin and brown frizzy hair like an Afro. She glanced at his dark eyes that showed emptiness. "I'm Diego, you are?"

"Not interested," She said walking pass him to put the utensils away. Caroline didn't like this guy and even if she did she wasn't interested in a relationship right now at least not after her last one.

"Oh come on sugar, I promise I won't bite." He said. Caroline rolled her eyes. Couldn't he just leave her alone? Why couldn't he just see that she was not interested? She thought. She was wiping off the silverware when his arms encircled her. In just a second she dropped the silverware and grabbed his hand turned to him with a glare slapping his hands away. He smirked. "Oh feisty I see, I do like them feisty." He reached for her again this time she grabbed his hand and used her strength to crush the bone. He made a strangled noise and pulled back. Caroline watched and her eyes widened as she saw it heal quickly. He was no human man. He grabbed her by the throat and shoved her into the counter looking at her with his cold dead black eyes. They seemed to pierce her soul. By his strength and speed she knew he must have been an older vampire. But that didn't stop her from using her foot to kick him in the chest shoving him back into the wall. He glared and launched himself at her so fast that she couldn't seem to defend herself in time. She struggled to get him off until head hit him and used her leg to kick him off her and propel him into a wall. She flashed to her feet ready to defend herself. Diego stood glaring at her before he stopped and looked at something behind her. He swallowed hard and realized that there was no way he could challenge him. He took a step back and vanished into the shadows. Caroline was slightly confused by this but relieved that he was gone all the same.

"You sure have quite a fire in you love," She turned to the voice that nearly made her jump. There in the doorway he stood. He had scruffy light brown hair, light sky blue eyes. He leaned against the doorway with his arms folded across his somewhat muscular chest with a cocky smirk plastered on his face. She raised an eyebrow as she took in his features. She folded her arms across her chest not afraid.

"Oh?" She said.

"Well love most vampires your age would flee really at least against an older vampire." He said.

"Well I guess I am not like most vampires." She retorted rolling her eyes turning back to finish her work.

"You are quite a spunk fire," He said. She glanced at him.

"You act as if you haven't met someone like that." He nodded.

"I haven't, you are quite fascinating sweetheart." He commented. "May I ask your name?" She turned to him and raised an eyebrow.

"No," This only made him smirk all the more.

"The more you act like this the more intrigued you make me."She wasn't sure if she should feel offended or flattered by this.

"Nik come on let's go. I am board." A girl said. Caroline looked at the blonde girl. Nik? Clearly this must be his girlfriend or something. The girl glanced to Caroline. She light daffodil blonde hair and crystal blue eyes.

"Alright Rebekah," He said and she rolled her eyes and walked out the door. He turned back to Caroline. "It was nice meeting you, until next time love." And with that he turned to leave. Caroline couldn't help but watch as he left. She couldn't understand it but she was rather curious about this man. And why did she get this strange feeling. She shook her head and turned away trying to finish wiping the silverware without anymore disturbances. She heard someone enter the room and turned to Sophie. Sophie glanced to her.

"I see you have met him than." Caroline looked at her confused.

"Met who?" She asked.

"Caroline take my advice, you should stay away from that man. He is very dangerous. And if you want to survive here in New Orleans you are just going to have to make sure you interfere with him or Marcel for that matter. There are already enough problems. Know that I am just looking out for you." She said walking away.

Caroline walked outside and glanced to the man that she had met before with the blonde girl. She wasn't sure what was going on here but perhaps it was wise to stay away from him.

Note: So there is chapter 2. How did I do with Caroline and Klaus finally meeting one another? Good? Bad? Just fair warning Hayley is in the story. I am trying to copy of the actual show. But 'I' am going to make it how I would want it to be. So no Klayley baby! Klaus and Hayley did sleep together but that is in the past nothing more. Reviews thanks.
