Caroline continued her trip to the witches' house with Dara and Klaus. Now she was just trying to keep herself together and not fall apart. "Think about Elena... And Stefan. You have the opportunity to fix this.", she kept thinking. She remained in silence and Dara didn't seem to bother. She was getting tired and seemed very interested on their destination. Klaus seemed calm. Even though he was concern about Dara's intentions, he wanted to keep Caroline peaceful, although it all seemed too suspicious.
The twilight in the sky was a beautiful scenarium and Caroline was trying to concentrate on this. If everything went wrong, at least she had the opportunity to meet this amazing country. All the views and landscapes were breathtaking. Whenever her mind started to drift away and think about Tyler again she forced herself to think about something else.
"According to the map, there's a little pension and it's nearest place from the house that we can stay to spend the night." Klaus finally broke the silence. "Caroline, love, we can rest tonight and tomorrow Dara can go to the witches' place and find out everything we need to know, isn't that right?" He talked to Dara.
"It's fine." The witch said. Klaus glanced a look at Caroline. He was planning on following Dara in the next day. Of course he would not let her go alone and do whatever she wanted. They got out of the car and saw this beautiful and really old house, which seemed to be made of stone. They got in, Klaus asked for two rooms. One for Dara and the other for Caroline and himself.
The house was really simple. There was this old lady, the owner, that treated them very well. First the lady took Dara to her room. Then she left Klaus and Caroline at their room.
"Thank you." Klaus said, with all his charm. The lady smiled and whipered "Such a beautiful couple."; Klaus and Caroline listened, but they both pretended they didn't.
As looking to the room, Caroline noticed a very simple and beautiful decoration. There were really old things, like the bed and the wardrobe. The bed, mainly, was made of steel, and it seemed really big when compared to the rest of the room. Klaus, later that night, asked for more pillows and bed things, so he could make himself a little bed on the floor without raising any suspect. Caroline thanked him for being educated and letting her sleep on the bed without hesitating.
As the night passed, Caroline remained awake, while Klaus was reading a book. She left the room, went outside and called Elena. This time Klaus could not hear her.
"Caroline?!", Elena seemed surprised when she saw Caroline's name on her phone.
"Elena, hi, how are you? I'm so happy that I can talk to you."; Caroline was trully happy. She missed her friends. Of all the girls, she knew that Elena would be the least judgemental. Since she first started dating Stefan, she knew that sometimes we can't control what we feel and things just get a little out of control.
"Oh my God, how are you, I've been so concerned! Did Klaus do anything to you?" She just couldn't stop asking things. So Caroline just stopped her.
"Elena, calm down, I'm fine. Klaus is not our problem right now, believe me. I'm just calling to check up on you and I want to know everything..." She wanted to ask about Tyler, but she didn't know Elena's opinion in all this.
"I know that you want to know about Tyler... Just give him some time, Car... He needs it. I'm sure that when he realizes his big mistake, he'll come back on his feet."
"I know he left, Elena.", Elena remained quiet.
"Just give him some time... He just lost his mom." Caroline tries to change the subject.
"And how are you doing, with Damon?" Caroline changed the tone of her voice. She didn't like to talk about Damon with Elena, because, with the sirebond, Caroline just could not believe that Elena was thinking strait.
"I don't wanna talk to you about this. I know you won't agreed.", Elena finally said.
"It's good that you know me. I really don't wanna talk about it. I'm just really happy that you're ok." Elena waited a second before say something.
"I really do not aprove this trip of yours. I can't help feeling guilty for everything and what happened bewteen you and Tyler."
"Elena, just stop. I'm doing it because I want to. Nobody forced me. I'll face the consequences of my actions. And besides, it's not that bad in here." She joked, "I had all this boring days meeting Madrid, you know, what a sacrifice." They laughed together. Caroline was telling the truth when she told she was kind of happy there. They said goodbye to each other and Caroline went to her room.
As opening her door room, she found Klaus sleeping on the floor, in a mess of sheets and pillows he made it. She couldn't help but laugh a little bit. She also felt a little sorry for him, for making him sleep on the floor. But she was also really surprised of how respectful he was being to her. She didn't see that coming.
Caroline opened her eyes in the morning and saw Klaus with his finger on his mouth, warning her to make silence. She got a little scared, not knowing what exactly was going on and he whispered, "Dara is going out. I'll follow her. You stay here and do not leave, do you understand?" She said yes with her head and watched Klaus leave.
