A/N: Sorry I have been gone for so long guys. Here's the next chapter let me know what you think…
Chapter 16
Caroline was awake long before dawn the next morning, not that she got much sleep to start with. Whenever she drifted off she was terrorized by nightmares.
After having a shower and getting dressed she walked down to the kitchen and grabbed a blood bag from the fridge. As she sat down to drink Katherine walked into the kitchen. "Good morning." She said in an ice cold voice as she walked around Caroline like she had some kind of plague.
Caroline shook her head slightly. Katherine was clearly still pissed that she had snapped at her last night in front of everyone. "Kat I'm sorry I snapped at you last night." Caroline said pouting slightly.
Katherine took one look at the blonde vampire and burst out laughing before pulling her into a tight hug. "It's okay Care, I was being over sensitive." Caroline hugged back tightly and as she pulled back she looked closely at Katherine. She could tell that under the smile and laughing something was wrong.
"What's wrong Kat?" Caroline asked carefully. Katherine hesitated for a moment. "It's okay you can tell me." Caroline encouraged her. "It's just… Don't you think this is all just a little too easy? Trading Klaus Megan's blood for his family's lives?" Katherine bit her bottom lip.
Caroline thought about it for the first time. Would Klaus really trade his family's lives for a few liters of blood and what about Katherine she had been running from Klaus for a thousand years now would he just let her go? Let them get on with their lives while he lost his family?
"I don't know Kat. I just have to believe that it will all work out. I cat let Tyler go again now that I have found him." Caroline's voice broke as she said Tyler's name. Katherine squeezed her hand softly. "I understand Care and I hope it all goes well."
Caroline's phone vibrated on the counter. "It's a text from Stefan, he wants to meet." Caroline informed Katherine as she checked her phone. "You should go see what he wants." Katherine said. Caroline nodded and got up as she did Katherine pulled her into a tight hug. "Thank you for the last five hundred years Care." She whispered and then she was gone.
Caroline stood stunned for a moment she couldn't believe what had just happened. What was wrong with Katherine? Before she could think about it anymore her phone vibrated with another text from Stefan. Caroline grabbed her car keys and left the apartment promising herself she would talk to Katherine later.
