Chapter 6

Just want your sex

It took me a while but I realized that we were heading into Charlottesville. What was in Charlottesville and what made me trust Klaus?

"What did you say to Tyler?"

"That's not important right now love"

"Fine then, then can you tell me why we are going to Charlottesville?"

"We're going to a town just outside of Charlottesville, hardly anyone knows about it"

"And why are we going there?"

"I need to check that the sword is still where I left it"

"Why did you bring me with you, you could off dropped me off at home?"

"There are people in town at the moment that are willing to do anything for the cure. I need to make sure you're safe"

I was dumbstruck I didn't know how to reply to that it was so sweet yet he said it so matter of fact. All I could do was smile at him. What seemed like hours passed until Klaus parked outside a house that looked like it was falling down. The windows were bordered up and the front garden was over grown with weeds, Klaus made his way to the door as I followed, the inside didn't look any better than the front, all the furniture was falling apart and the pictures on the wall were peeling and some had scratches through them. Whilst I been standing staring at the many pieces of furniture Klaus had made his way to the fire place and was searching for something, a smile formed on his face and he pulled something from within the fireplace, it was something wrapped in a cloth. Klaus walked over to me and unwrapped the object.

"This my dear Caroline, the object your friends are trying to get their hands on"

"Why it's just a sword, why do they need this sword?"

"Well it has an inscription on it, I have no idea if they know about the inscription and the moment they know they just need the sword"

"What are you going to do with it know?"

"This is where you come in, I need you to store this at your house as long as your friends don't suspect that you and more are helping each other the sword should be safe"

"Are you sure?"

"Yes" he stared at me with such passion that I didn't think twice about kissing him, right there in the house the was falling down was where I made love with the person I was madly in love with and this person only came into my life a couple of days ago.

I could feel the warm sun on my bare skin as I woke up the next morning I was lying across Klaus's chest, sweet memories of last night flooded before my eyes and I felt Klaus kiss my forehead. I couldn't help but let a giggle escape my lips,

"What's so funny love?"

"Nothing I just feel so happy"

"I'm sorry to burst your bubble but I think you should make our way back to Mystic Falls"

He was right, mum would be worried about me, no doubt I would be in trouble for staying out all night and not phoning her and telling her I was going to. I got up and got dressed and made my way to the car, I climbed into the passenger seat and waited for Klaus, he joined me a minute and he was carrying a coffee and a muffin

"I thought you might be hungry"

I thanked he and dug into the muffin, I was hungry and the muffin tasted so good, we pulled up in front of my house, Klaus turned to the back seat and retrieved the sword he passed it to me and kissed me so gently as if he was afraid to break

"Caroline make sure you put this somewhere safe and out of sight, you better go in I can hear you mum on the phone calling people asking them if they have seen you"

I opened the car door and walked up the path to the front door, I manage to make it to my room and hide the sword under a loose floorboard in my room before mum entered looking like she was about to explode.

"Where the HELL have you been? I've been worried sick! You SHOULD have called!"

It went on like this for about half an hour before she showed any signs that she was calming down

"Mum I'm ok nothing happened to me"

"That's not the point the point is that I didn't know where you were. Well!"

"Well what?"

"Where were you?"

"I was at the library studying and I fell asleep when I woke up it was light outside so I stopped to buy a coffee then I made your way home"

She looked at me for a while then she seemed to accept my lie, the thing that hurt me the most was that I had never lied to my mum before maybe that's why she believed me. She nodded and walked out shutting the door behind her. I decided that I really did need to study I had a history test in a few days and I'm not prepared for it at all. I grabbed my book bag off the floor told mum where I was going she looked puzzled when I told her I was going back to the library but I told her that I only got half way through what I wanted to study before I fell asleep.

The library was almost empty; I chose a table at the very back of the library I opened my history book and began the long uphill battle of understanding battles that I had no interest in. People came and went in the library; I envied them, being able to just choose a book and leave, battle after battle went through one ear and out the other. I looked at my watched and was stunned to realise that it was almost 8 o'clock and mum would be worried. I jumped in my car and drove the streets I playing in when I was a small child. When I reached the front door I noticed that it was ajar, I walked inside and called out mum's name there was no response. The silence pressed down on me and I was terrified. I walked into the living room and my knees buckled. Mum was lying there not moving with blood dripping down from her head, I crawled over and shook her and called her name.

"Mum, Mum please wake up, come on mum I need you" tears streaked down my face and fell in puddles.

"Mummy please wake up" my throat was becoming raw with my tears all I could whisper out was a feeble "please"

My body shook with great sobs she was dead. The person who was there for me my whole life, when my dad left we were each other's rocks, my rock had now washed into the sea.
