Well hey there guys! :) I really hope you liked the last update, hopefully I will start updating more regularly now as college is completely settled but it's not set in stone so don't be too angry please! Again thank you for your reviews/follows/favourites etc. :) Now I'm trying something a bit newer as I'm not 100% sure how I want this story to go but bear with me and maybe drop me a little review or message on whether or not you think this is a good change? Thank you and enjoy!

Chapter 6

Caroline strolled leisurely down a deserted corridor, mentally sending her thanks to whoever on the administrative team had given her a free study period this morning. She didn't think she could've concentrated in class at this moment in time anyway, after all what good could she do when all she could think of was how perfectly Klaus' lip fit against hers. If his lips were so good, she honestly couldn't imagine how wonderful his tongue would be, wherever he happened to put it... Ahh, this man is gonna drive me crazy. She was so far into her fantasies that she didn't notice a cross looking Elena standing in front of her, arms folded and standing in her 'full bitch mode' pose.

"Ahe hem." She sounded loudly. Caroline snapped back to reality and acknowledged her friend.

"Morning Elena, what's up?"

"What's up? What's up? Really, Caroline what the hell do you think is up?! You told Stefan about what happened with Damon and now he won't speak to me! Why would you do that? Are you too stupid to remember what secrets are? Or are you just jealous that I'm getting the attention and you aren't. Jealous, that everyone's caring more about me than poor little Blondie, like always." Caroline just stood there; she was ultimately shocked at Elena's words and even more surprised that she didn't feel guilty in the least.

"God, do you have any idea how much you sound like your new boyfriend? Like seriously, you know what Elena? I told Stefan because I am a good friend. He deserved to know so that he could move on and wouldn't keep pining for you now that you're with his brother. And why do you even care? You chose Damon remember, that means Stefan owes you nothing! Not that I care, but for your information, just because I don't have men throwing themselves to their deaths to prove their devotion to me doesn't mean that I don't have anyone to care about me. At least I'm not so selfish that I'd have everyone keep jumping into danger for me!" Caroline finished proudly and turned away from her. She had gotten two steps away when she heard, what sounded like, a growl and was suddenly pushed to the floor, quickly turning her head to the side as a force on top of her slammed it into the ground. A hissing noise sounded in her ear and as she braced herself for what would happen next, she felt the weight being wrenched off of her, then hands at her waist hoisting her up onto her feet. Looking up, she met the eyes of a concerned Stefan and, even more surprisingly, she saw an aggravated looking Rebekah holding Elena (who resembled a feral street cat) by the throat against the lockers and was muttering – what appeared to be – a warning in her ear, then flung her away from them. After watching Elena scramble away, Rebekah turned back to the two and Caroline smiled gratefully at her.

"So," Rebekah smirked at her conspiratorially, her eyes flicking from Stefan and back to Caroline. "How was your coffee morning with my brother?"

"And since when were you in the habit of gossip mongering, Stef?" Caroline glared at him half-heartedly raising her eyebrows. Rebekah just laughed loudly and Stefan looked down, embarrassed at being caught.

"Don't be angry, Caroline. It obviously went well after what we saw in the parking lot." Stefan was the one laughing now as Caroline punched him in the arm and stomped off, grumbling about stupid vampire senses and gossiping old women.

OoOoO

It was finally time for History, one of Caroline's favourite classes, even though she still felt saddened when she walked past the teachers desk and Alaric's replacement looked back at her. Seating herself further to the back she could sense a pair of eyes on her, but when she turned around to see who it was she could see no one. Shrugging it off she listened in to the teacher, but tuned out quickly as she realized she already knew this part of the work and could answer and questions if need be. Twisting in her seat slightly, Caroline began to stare out of the window looking up at the grey clouds forming in the sky. Great it's going to rain. And no sooner had she thought it, fat drops of water began to splash against the window the pattern continuous and soothing to her troubled mind. With her vampire hearing she heard her phone buzz gently in her bag and pulled it out to check it. She actually had two messages, the first, from Klaus, read:

Hello sweetheart, how's your day been so far without me? ;) – K

Rolling her eyes at the flirty text, she decided she would give him a taste of his own forwardness and quickly typed out a reply.

Mr Mikaelson, you rogue! Don't you know it's bad form to contact a lady while she is otherwise engaged? I'm trying to concentrate on my very important studies sir, please amuse your boredom elsewhere. – C

She waited a few moments after sending and then sent another.

Btw I missed you too. ;P – C

Before too long her phone had buzzed again.

Well mademoiselle I'd never wish to do that, do find it in your heart to forgive me. And I'm glad to hear that love. ;) – K

She almost laughed out loud as she read it, then an idea popped into her mind.

Hmm, now you see sir that is a very interesting request. One that'll take much thought, so I shall just set you a task instead. Are these terms acceptable? – C

Almost as soon as she had sent it he replied.

Of course, anything to make amends, my lady. ;) – K

It was getting harder and harder to control her mirth at his witty sense of humour, but she tapped back a reply with her 'challenge' in mind.

I wish for you to accept an offer of homemade cooking at my humble abode tonight, do you accept? – C

She didn't even have a chance to put her phone down as he answered.

Yes my lady, I believe, even a task as arduous as this, I shall accomplish to the best of my ability. I'll be there at 8, sweetheart. ;) – K

Caroline smiled as she sent him a smiley face in return. It was only when the bell rang, signalling the end of class, that she remembered the second text. Unlocking her phone as she walked out of the classroom, she quickly opened it up to see it was a multimedia message from an unknown number, curious now, she began to read it.

Care i fort i tld u tht u will nva b his. He wnt hve u i dnt care wot it takes. U will b mine, agen + if i hve 2 take him dwn 2 do it i wnt wait. Jst remmbr Care i luv u bbz. LOL :) xx

Underneath the text was a picture of her and Klaus' first kiss in the parking lot. Looking around suddenly, Caroline could feel eyes on her again. Finally she caught a glimpse of him, sitting on a bench, smirking at her.

"Tyler." She whispered, terrified. He winked over at her and blew her a little kiss. Smug asshole! She thought angrily.

OoOoO

After eating a hurried lunch with Stefan – and Rebekah of all people – and having Elena and Bonnie glaring stakes at her back throughout the day, Caroline was honestly relieved when she left school that day. She ran all the way home as she had gotten a lift from Klaus that morning and set to work on the dinner she was preparing for the two of them. All thoughts of Tyler and the threatening message were pushed out of her mind as she pulled out the cook book in the corner of her kitchen and began to read out the ingredients she needed for her dish that night.

"Tonight we have steak, with mushroom and tequila sauce, extra bloody." She mumbled to herself smiling lightly.

OoOoO

I'm really sorry guys it's just a little one today but hopefully I can update sooner now and they'll start to be longer. Please leave me some kind of feedback at this change for Caroline, do you like her with Rebekah and Stefan? Or should I make her friends with Elena again, Bonnie and Caroline are planned to make up anyway I just really don't feel her friendship with Elena should feature in my story. Do you like the Tyler drama? May I just remind you they are kind of supposed to be OOC a little because it is an AU story. :)
