Chapter 17

A/N: This is an AU story for the vampire diaries. I do not own the vampire dairies.

Caroline turned to the man with dark skin. She had met him before, well not really. Klaus had mostly said a few words and dragged her away. Marcel glanced between them smirking.

"Don't be rude old friend, aren't you going to introduce me to this beauty of yours." He smirked. Klaus glared at him.

"Another time perhaps. We were just leaving," Klaus said. Marcel ignored him and without warning took Caroline's hand in his.

"I am Marcel, it is a pleasure." He said kissing her hand. Klaus gritted his teeth. Caroline swallowed hard and blushed slightly. No one had ever really done that like in her entire life. She was relieved when she could take her hand back.

"Uh, Caroline," She said.

"Caroline," He smiled. "It is lovely to meet you. You don't seem from around here." Klaus was losing his patience with his old friend.

"She is staying here as a guest," Klaus said. "What do you want Marcel?" He asked.

"Why old friend I am offended, do you really think I want anything?" Marcel said. Klaus gave him a look. He shrugged. "Perhaps I am just interested in knowing this lovely flower." Marcel smiled looking at Caroline. Caroline didn't like the look in his eyes. It was like hunger or something inside them. Caroline moved closer to Klaus. Marcel sighed. "Well if you must know, I was wondering why there suddenly seems to be things happening in my city since you arrived." Marcel said. Klaus looked at him confused.

"I haven't caused anything Marcel and neither has Caroline. That was all you." Marcel shook his head.

"No, the only thing that I had done was kill another witch that had been trying to plot against me. Other than that these murders and strange things happening have happened since you have gotten here. And I want to know what's going one. This is my city remember and I have to get to the bottom of these matters as soon as possible. And so far you are a suspect old friend." He said. Klaus glared daggers at him.

"If you didn't do it, and I didn't do it than who did?" Caroline said shaking her head confused.

Elena looked to Katherine, and couldn't believe what she just admitted to. She really was a slut.

"You slept with Stefan?" She said in disbelief. Katherine only shrugged.

"Well I can tell you right now he looked like Stefan but wasn't Stefan. Believe me Stefan in all romantic but not this time. I knew that it's not Stefan because of that." Elena shook her head disgusted. But if it wasn't Stefan that she had slept with than who was it. Her eyes widened.

"Oh my god you slept with Silas." She said. Katherine shrugged.

"Well that might explain the experience he had. I had never felt anything like that Elijah couldn't even compare." She mused.

"Katherine why are you here? Really?" She asked.

"Maybe I just want to ruin your life." She said. "Since you took away mine." Elena shook her head.

"How did I take away yours?"

"You were born." Katherine growled. "I should have never been with that ass, than you would have never been born." Elena glared at her.

"Well Katherine no one is making you do anything. I just do what I do I don't know why you care so much. I would think you would have been tired of running from Klaus right now and try to meet someone and create a life and not worry about Klaus since he is distracted in New Orleans." Katherine shrugged.

"Yeah now that I have seen them I am pretty sure that blondie will keep him busy." Elena ignored her.

"Don't you anything better to do." Katherine sighed.

"No not really," She replied. Elena finally couldn't take anymore and stood.

"I'm leaving I have had enough of you for now." She muttered before grabbing her jacket and walking out the door leaving Katherine to herself. Elena walked into the bar to find Elijah sitting on a stole. She sighed and decided to join him.

"Hi," He turned to her.

"Elena," She nodded.

"Sorry I needed to get out of there Katherine was driving me insane. Mind if I join you?" She asked. He shook his head and held out his hand to the stole next to him.

"No, by all means." He said. She nodded. "Would you care for me to order you a drink?" She turned to him and raised an eyebrow before smiling.

"Yes, I will have a bloody Mary please." Elijah nodded.

"So Elena how long are you intending on staying here?" He asked after ordering her drink for her.

"I don't know. I kind of like it better than Mystic Falls and it beats being away from Stefan and Damon I felt as if they were suffocating me and I had no choice in the matter." She said. Elijah nodded.

"But you have let them before, why now?" He asked. She shrugged.

"I don't know I just feel that I need to start making my own decisions and not have someone make them for me." Elijah nodded.

"You only get one life, don't let others dictate over what your decisions and choices are. That proves that they might not even be your friend. Because if they were they would accept you decision." He said. Elena nodded and sighed.

"They just don't seem to be understanding it. I can't make them understand especially Damon." Elijah looked at her.

"Stand up for yourself, don't be bullied Elena." She liked Elijah. He was always calm, kind and gentle in some way. And he respected her, even as an original to a baby vampire. He was encouraging but he could also be deadly. She sometimes could see how Elijah might been the most frightening creature in the world because of how serious he was, as well as making deadly kills.

Note: So there is another chapter. Sorry this one is kind of short but I have some homework to do. Reviews thanks.
