Chapter 7

When Caroline woke up the next day and she was nervous about seeing Klaus. She regretted what she did deeply and wishes that she could admit her feelings. After turning in the bed for the next five minuets, she heard everyone downstairs in the kitchen and thought that if the room was full of people, she would be less nervous around him.

When she walked into the kitchen it was like the day before. Klaus was cooking and some people were sat at the counter or at the table talking to each other. Kiara was sat at the counter watching Klaus cooking and she was drawing something at the same time. Caroline leaned against the door framed and smiled at the view. Some many supernatural's in the same house yet it just looked like a normal family home. Klaus noticed Caroline's presence and smiled at her and she returned the smile. Kiara noticed her father smile at something and she turned around to see Caroline. Kiara jumped out of her seat with a piece of paper in her hand and walked towards Caroline. Caroline kneeled down to her level and Kiara said "I drew this for you". Kiara handed the piece of paper over and when Caroline looked at it she gasped. It was a picture of her and she had angel wings "you don't like it".

"No sweetie I love it" Caroline pulled Kiara in for a hug and Klaus smiled. Kiara wrapped her arms around Caroline's neck and when they pulled away Caroline said "I'm just shocked. Your seven, how can you draw this good?" she drew pictures accurately and was almost as good as Klaus.

Kiara shrugged and said "I don't know. Daddy thinks it because of my abilities".

Kiara walked back to her seat and Caroline followed. When she sat down she said "what abilities?"

Kiara looked at Klaus as she was told not to tell anyone how magical she was. Klaus gave her a comforting smile and said "Kiara is a triple hybrid" everyone in the room looked at him and it all went silent "when she was born we discovered that she was not only part vampire and part werewolf, she is also part witch".

They all looked shocked and Bonnie said "that's impossible, nature wouldn't have allowed it".

Elijah said "and yet it is true. Nature didn't want vampires to exist yet here we are. Kiara being a triple hybrid is no different".

Rebekah said "she got her magic from our mother, which means she is powerful magic".

Klaus said "with her being a triple hybrid we believe her development is faster. She learns things quicker than normal children would. She started drawing like that when she was little" Caroline showed everyone the drawing and they too were shocked at how talented she was. "She doesn't just learn things faster though...one day Kiara will stop ageing and she will be more powerful than me".

They all stared at Kiara and she said "don't worry I'm not gonna hurt you" she joked and they all managed to at least crack a smile.

When they all sat down and began to eat breakfast Caroline said "bonnie, shopping?" bonnie nodded.

She then looked at Stefan and he said "don't even think about it".

"Come on Stefan, we brought no clothes with us from mystic falls. You need clothes and so do you Matt".

Matt and Stefan looked nervously at each other and Stefan said "you know my style, you buy me something please".

Matt said "yeah and Rebekah said that she would show me around New Orleans today" he sent Rebekah a look and she sighed but went along with it "same as Stefan, buy me some clothes please".

Bonnie just shook her head with a smile on her face. Caroline looked at Kiara and said "do you wanna come shopping?"

Kiara smiled but then looked at Klaus and said "daddy" with puppy dog eyes.

He closed his eyes and shook his head. Caroline said "come on Klaus" Klaus looked at her "if you don't let her go out, then she will soon become one of them rebellious teenagers who go and do the opposite of what their fathers tell them".

Klaus knew that what Caroline was saying was true. He had heard of fathers who were too strict with their children and they eventually had a bad relationship because of it. He knew that Kiara really wanted to get out of the house and he thought it would be good for Caroline to bond with Kiara "alright you can go".

They all smiled but Elijah and Rebekah were shocked. Rebekah said "did i just hear the overprotective father of the century say he was letting his daughter out" Klaus shot her a look "you really are changing him Caroline". Caroline blushed slightly and looked down at her lap. Klaus smirked as he caught her blush and knew she did have feelings for him but she was just hiding them.

When they went into the centre of New Orleans, which wasn't that far from the house, they found multiple clothes shops. They had only got clothes and other essentials for Matt and Stefan before they went to lunch, so they put all the clothes into the car. Klaus had given Caroline his bank card but she declined. Caroline was actually having a nice day for once and she wasn't in fear of any werewolves or witches coming to kill her.

They sat down at a nice cafe and noticed a few people glancing at Kiara. Caroline looked at Kiara and could see that she was used to the stares but she did look slightly uncomfortable. Kiara noticed that Caroline was concerned and said "don't worry none of them are going to hurt us".

The three of the only stared at each other and bonnie said "who are they?"

"Some of them are witches that are scared of me" she laughed slightly "others are humans who know of my father and some of them are day walkers"

"What are day walkers?" Bonnie said.

"They are a small group of vampires that work for my father that can walk in the sun. Most of the vampires in New Orleans are night walkers and protect us at night. The day walkers protect us during the day but they are only the most trust worthy of vampires".

"Well you don't have to worry you have us" Caroline said. Kiara smiled at her and Caroline smiled back.

After they had ordered their food, Caroline and Kiara both got a burger and chips while Bonnie got a salad. She made a remark about being human and getting fat unlike vampires who are frozen. Caroline asked "so Kiara, do you go to school?"

Kiara shook her head and said "my dad, Uncle Elijah and Auntie Rebekah think it is too dangerous for me".

"How can school be dangerous?" Bonnie said.

"Before I was born, a witch linked herself to my mother, so that she could blackmail my dad. When I was born, the witch on the second I was born linked herself to me. I don't know why she did it but if she gets hurt so do I. When I was little she tried to kidnap me and she hasn't stopped trying. That's why I rarely ever leave the house. Dad, Uncle Elijah and Auntie Rebekah teach me from home".

Caroline said "listen, I'm sorry about what happened to your mum" she knew that Kiara thought her mother was dead, so she played along.

Kiara nodded and said "I thought my father would tell you the lie".

Caroline was now confused "what do you mean?"

"I know my mother alive and that she abandoned me".

"Where did you hear that?"

"I overheard my dad, Uncle Elijah and Auntie Rebekah talking about it a while ago. They thought I was in my room playing but I happen to be really good a sneaking around". Caroline gave her a sympathetic look "you don't have to feel sorry for me, I have all the family I need. Besides I know you hate her".

"Wait, who is your mother?" Bonnie said.

Caroline and Kiara looked at each other and Caroline said "Hayley".

Bonnies eyes widened and said "Hayley. As in the werewolf Hayley?"

"Yep".

Bonnie made a horrible face but then smiled at Kiara. Kiara said "trust me I'm not a big fan of her either. She may have given birth to me but she is not my mum" she looked at Caroline and said "I know you don't like her because everyone in the kitchen heard you and my father arguing about it".

Caroline looked at Bonnie and Bonnie said "trust me I'm not even a vampire and yet I could hear it all".

Caroline said to Kiara "I'm sorry".

"It's okay...so when did my dad say he would be your last love?"

Kiara and Bonnie both smiled as they wanted to hear the story but Caroline blushed and put her hands over her face. Just then the food came and she said "sorry story for another time, foods here".

After the waiter moved away Kiara said "please, it sounds like a really good story".

Bonnie said "yeah come on, Care".

Caroline rolled her eyes then said "fine. For your benefit Kiara I'll start from the begging. I used to go out with this werewolf called Tyler and your father was really jealous of him because of me. Tyler was your fathers first hybrid that he made. Tyler did something pretty bad and turned all of your fathers hybrids against him, so your father wasn't happy with him. Tyler left our home town and he wasn't allowed to come back. On the night of my high school graduation we had a little ghost problem in our town and your father helped us. On that night he said he came because he received my graduation announcement. His gift to me that night was to release Tyler so he cold come back to mystic falls but not before he implanted something into my head. Your father said that Tyler was my first love but he intended to be my last. He then kissed my cheek and left. Ever since then those last words stuck in my head".

Kiara awed but then Bonnie said "Klaus did what? Caroline, why didn't you tell me any of this?"

"Please if I told you, you would have told Elena. Besides, in these last couple of day's here have you got a different perspective of Klaus?"

Bonnie sighed and said "your right, Klaus is different when he's not being hybrid almighty around family".

Kiara said "do you love my dad?"

They both stared at her as if she asked the impossible question and in Caroline's mind it was impossible to admit it. Bonnie looked at Caroline for an answer to and she said "how about we finish eating before it gets cold and then we can go shopping". Kiara nodded but Bonnie knew that Caroline's feelings went deep but she didn't know if it was love or not.
