Chapter 3

Got no salvation

Whoever said death was painless and peaceful they were wrong. My death burned beyond belief. All I could feel was fire somewhere in the back of my brain registered the fact that I was bleeding and I was bleeding a lot. I could help but let out a little whimper my body suddenly became light and I felt like I was being moved. I tried to open my eyes but they felt so heavy, I knew that death was getting its hands on me.

"Drink this" I heard somebody's voice right beside me and someone was pressing something against my lips

"Come on Caroline" I started to drink and I couldn't stop

"That's right love" I felt my salvation stroke my hair as I drank and then it was gone the pain was gone but so was the drink, I wanted to protest but I felt sleep overtake my system and I couldn't fight it.

My body felt so light my first thought was that I was dead. I opened my eyes and looked around the unfamiliar room, it was a beautiful room with a queen bed with white bedding. I sat up as I heard someone enter the room.

"How is sleeping beauty this morning?" The speaker was Klaus

"You saved me?" I was shocked how had he known that I was in trouble

"I did" He smiled at me and leaned against the door frame

"How?"

"Are you sure you want to know?"

"Yes I do" I sounded a lot braver than I felt

"Well, it was my blood, you drank my blood" he watched me carefully

I felt sick, it didn't make any sense yet somehow I understood everything that has seemed wired to me over the last year started to make sense.

"What do you mean?"

"Come on Caroline I'm a vampire"

"You're a what?"

"I'm an original vampire, the first ever vampire"

"I'm confused"

"Of course you are, well last night you were bitten by a werewolf and you were bleeding to death, I heard you cry out and came to see what was going, I brought you to my house and I fed you my blood. Vampire blood has healing features. So I healed you and brought you up here when you fell asleep."

"A werewolf bit me?"

"Yes, there is a whole different world you are unaware to, all you friends belong to it"

"What do you mean?"

"Why don't you join me downstairs for some breakfast and I'll explain it to you, I've left you some clothes in the bathroom that should fit"

He left and I was left alone, feeling very alone. My head was spinning from all the information that Klaus had just given me. Vampire's werewolf's what was going on. I got up and made my way to the bathroom, I washed and got dressed and made my way downstairs. The house was huge it had a lot of original antics in it. I found the dining room by the smell of food Klaus was sitting at the end of a very long dining table.

"Please take a sit and take whatever you fancy"

I sat down and looked at all the food I hadn't realised it but I was starving. When I had picked my breakfast I looked at Klaus and asked the first question that came into my head.

"What do you mean that all my friends belong to it?"

"Well love Elena is a vampire like me so are the Salvatore brothers. Bonnie is a witch, Jeremy is a hunter and Tyler is a hybrid"

"What's a hybrid?"

"He's a vampire and a werewolf. I am to a vampire werewolf"

Everything was making my head spin but the pieces began to fall into place how all of a sudden they all didn't have time for me. Tyler the person that I trusted the most wad hiding secrets from me suddenly I questioned his love. That brought another question to mind.

"What about my mum?"

"She is human however she knows all about us"

He studied my face for a while as I tried to process everything.

"Why did you save me, why not let me die?"

"I find you interesting Caroline"

"Interesting how?"

"I'm not sure" that simple statement bought a blush to my cheeks I can't remember the last time Tyler made me blush. As I was eating my breakfast a women came in a whispered in Klaus's ear. He nodded and she left.

"I have to go love, please stay and finish your breakfast I will have one of my…" he seemed to choose his next word carefully "friends take you home"

"Thank you"

He left and I was alone in the dining room. I ate quickly and I was taken home just like Klaus said I would. When I got home Mum wasn't there she must of left for work. I was glad to be on my own, I had a lot to process. So Elena, Tyler and the Salvatore brothers were Vampires, Bonnie was a witch and Tyler was also a werewolf. I wished Klaus didn't have to leave, I still had questions to ask him.

Well it seemed that I had a whole Saturday to myself, I decided I was going to go shopping then have some lunch at the Mystic Grill. It helped me take my mind off everything and when I got to the Mystic Grill I felt a lot better. I ordered with Matt and sat down at a booth, Matt bought over my food and handed me a note he said that somebody had left me, it had Klaus and a number written on it I typed the number into my phone and pressed save. Elena and Bonnie walked into the grill and smiled over at me, as they walked passed I caught some of their conversation,

"We have to find the cure before Klaus does"

"I know but we have to find the sword to get the inscription"

What were they going on about? I definitely need to talk to Klaus and find out what was going on around here. First thing first was to find Tyler and ask him some questions.
