When he finally found the History class, Klaus walked in saying, "Sorry I'm late. Wasn't feeling well yesterday and…" He looked and saw all these kids staring at him, not really caring about his excuse. "Alright then why don't we start where we left off!" Klaus looked around for a book, a note, a bloody picture, to tell him what the lesson was. Then he thought of something.

"Extra credit. What exactly have we been learning about?" Klaus hoped at least one of these kids had some idea of what "Alaric" was teaching them.

"The 1960's. We've been covering it because of the upcoming decade dance," some random dark haired girl answered.

"Yes! The 1960's. Thank you!" Klaus turned around towards the board and thought about the 60's.

"What was so good about the 60's? Well, to be honest they pretty much sucked. Well except for the Beatles. They made it bearable, and then the whole WaterGate Affair.."

"Uh, Watergate was the 1970's, Ric," said a brunette that looked a lot like…I got her.

"I mean Mr. Saltzman," she corrected herself.

There she was. Right in front of him. For 1000 years he had waited for this moment, and here it was. "Thank you, Elena," Klaus said. This was going to be easier than he thought.

Caroline couldn't shake what happened between her and Alaric that morning. He seemed so….different. Like a different person. Someone like…

No! No, that is not humanly possible.

Maybe Alaric was still a little tired from yesterday. But he was strange then too. What was up with him? The way he looked at her. The way he said her name. It was all too familiar. And it freaked Caroline out. A lot.

"Okay, class. Tomorrow, I'd like that essay that I assigned to you last Friday on my desk first thing in the morning. For those of you who did turn it in, I'd like to say thank you to all 3 of you, who turned it in on time. Now I know I'm not usually this harsh, but if you don't turn it in tomorrow, you'll receive an 'F' on the paper. Am I clear?" Caroline was right. She was never this harsh, but she didn't want to be seen as a "push over" to her students.

With a half-hearted "yes" from the class, Caroline dismissed everyone.

As she walked out of the class she spotted Alaric in the hallway and what happened that morning. Why was he acting so different? Why did he look so different? And when did he start wearing all black? It was all so strange.

Caroline looked at her watch and saw it was time to meet the Salvatore's. They had agreed to meet at her house and head straight to Richmond from there. She needed one more person to help her.

Klaus watched Caroline leave the school. She seemed to be in a hurry. Part of him had hoped to see her before she left. And the other half was happy she was gone. She was a distraction, and he needed no distractions. His doppelganger was walking these halls and he needed to keep an eye on her.

After his wonderful experience as a history teacher he was ready to get out of this body. Soon. But first he had to make an appearance. And he knew of a certain school dance to come to. After all, teachers are considered chaperones.

"So why are we going to Richmond? Do you have some sort of Witch who could help us find Katherine or something?" Damon asked. After Caroline told him and Stefan they were heading to Richmond, he started to get suspicious.

"You'll find out when we get there," Caroline replied.

They didn't have a far way to go since Richmond was about an hour outside of Mystic Falls. She needed this persons help. She hoped when she told them why she needed their help, this person would side with her completely. She prayed this person would side with her.

"So when we find whoever or whatever it is we are looking for, you're sure it'll help us find Katherine?" Stefan asked. His main concern was Elena, but if Katherine was one of the key people to help keep Elena safe, Stefan would have to suck it up and help find her.

"I hope so," Caroline said.

Then they pulled up to their destination.

"Isn't this…" Damon said

"The house we saved Elena from?" Yes," Caroline finished for Damon, "Now stay in the car I'll be right back."

Caroline shoved a blood bag in her bag and exited her car only to be blocked by Damon saying, "No way, Barbie. If you're going in there to do what I think you're going to do, you're not going to do it."

Caroline couldn't help but chuckle at Damon. "And what exactly do you think I'm going in there to do, Damon?"

"You know what I mean, Blondie. That 'friend' of yours that your staked in there?"

"I need him. We need him," Caroline said.

"And why do we need him? We've got me, you, and Stefan. Plus the fact that you're like a zillion years old, which makes you stronger and faster and smarter than the dumbie who kidnapped Katherine."

"We need him because I'm not so sure it was a 'dumbie' who took Katherine."

"Who do you think it was?"

"I think someone who works for Klaus took her."

"I still don't see why we need hi-"

"Because usually people who work for Klaus, are very, very powerful witches. And if Elijah helps us, you'll have two zillion old Vampires who can take them down, while you two get Katherine," Caroline explained.

"Fine. But you're not going in there alone."

"I have to, Damon."

"No, you don't. Please let me go in there with you."

Caroline just stared at him. Where was the cocky, self centered, ill-mannered jerk that could hardly stand her?

"Watch it, Salvatore. Someone may think you actually care," Caroline said.

"Please, don't insult me. I have a reputation to uphold," Damon said with a smirk.

And there the jerk is again.

"Fine. You can come. But no pouncing, hitting, biting, or re-staking. Got it?"

"You got it, Blondie."

After telling Stefan to keep watch outside, Caroline and Damon went inside.

Caroline shivered at the sight of Elijah. His skin was grey and he was stuck in that position of shock that he had when she staked him. She hoped he wouldn't be angry with her when she awoke him.

Slowly she pulled the stake out of his chest. She expected him to wake up right away, but after a couple minutes of staring, nothing happened.

"Why isn't he waking up?" Damon asked. He was getting aggravated with this Original.

Caroline turned around and said, "I'm not sure, he hasn't been staked that long."

And suddenly Damon was sent flying down the stairs by a blur that ran by.

Elijah had awoken, and by the looks of things, he was angry.

And we have a cliffhanger! I know 2 updates in one day.

SO I know that there isn't anything BIG going on in this chapter except for Elijah getting undaggered. Please don't hate me.

Please leave your thoughts and comments and follow! Thank you my lovelies! ;)
