Chapter 13
Caroline woke up feeling confused. There was a strange buzzing sound somewhere in the room. She looked around Megan and Caitlyn was sound asleep on Megan's bed. Katherine was laying on the ground a few feet from Caroline her eyes where open. "Answer your damn phone." She snapped before turning over.
Caroline reached for her phone which was stuffed into her bag. There were already 11 missed calls from a number she didn't recognise. Just as she was about to hit dial the phone started buzzing again and Katherine let out a sigh. Caroline crept out of the room and answered. "Hello?" Her voice was still heavy with sleep.
"Caroline is that you?" Tyler's voice sounded rushed and instantly woke Caroline fully. "Tyler? What do you want?" She asked coldly. She was still mad at him. "Please meet me at the cellars. I need to talk to you right now." Caroline frowned and got ready to tell him to go to hell. "Please?" Tyler begged before she could say anything. "Fine, I'll see you in fifteen minutes. Don't leave me waiting." She said then hung up the phone.
Fifteen minutes later Caroline walked into the cellars, Tyler was already waiting for her. Suddenly she realised that nobody knew where she was and that she could be walking into a trap. Caroline stopped a few feet away from Tyler. "You came." He sounded relieved but Caroline refused to relax. "What do you want?" She asked keeping her voice cold.
"Your mad at me." He stated. Caroline remained silent. "I deserved that. I know I hurt you when I asked for time to think but you have to understand, I've been living with them for five hundred years and it was hard to realise what they have been doing to me." He looked at Caroline but still she said nothing so he continued.
"However last night I realised just how bad it was and that I had to get out now." Caroline arched an eyebrow but said nothing. "Rebekah came into my room again, only this time she tried compelling me to forget we are friends to remember you as a girl who tried to break me and Rebekah up and that I hated you for it."
A low growl escaped Caroline's lips but still she didn't say anything. She wasn't going to speak until she could be sure it wasn't a trap. Silence filled the room and they simply stared at each other. It was Tyler who finally spoke again. "I don't want to forget you Caroline, I might not remember how or why but I know that I love you and I am willing to kill Rebekah to get those memories back."
Caroline blinked a few times this was the last thing she was expecting. "Are you serious?" She finally spoke. Tyler got up and walked over to her. "I have never been more serious in my life. I want to remember everything and most of all I want to be with you." Caroline nodded as tears filled her eyes. She had waited so long to hear him say that.
"So how do we do this?" Tyler asked looking slightly afraid of the answer. "I need to talk to the others." Caroline replied. "Give me a day or two to work it all out and then I will get back to you on that. In the mean time you can't let them notice anything so from now on you hate me." Caroline instructed with a cold look in her eyes.
Tyler looked at her. "I don't want to hate you." A soft sigh escaped Caroline's lips. "You have to pretend Tyler its the only why we are going to pull this off." He nodded in agreement. "Okay but then there is something I want to do first." "What's that?" Caroline asked carefully. Tyler simply smiled, took her face in his hand and kissed her passionately.
