Nadia followed the girl at a distance, staying within ear shot learning as much and she could whistle she decided how to process this new information. In Nadias experience with the exception of her mother doppelgangers brought nothing but trouble. But from the outside this girl didn't seem that threatening, sure she was a little crude and overly aggressive but all in all a harmless student. After their collision the girl stormed off towards a nearby building and disappeared into one of the lecture halls and Nadia quickly followed, once inside the girl gave a quick apology to the professor and hurried to a free seat near the front while Nadia sulked off to the back and suck low in her seat trying to stay unseen. Once settled Nadia focused on the girl tuning out the rest of the room, "gez Nicky you got changed again?" The man next the the girl asked in hushed tones "I have not clue what the fuck you're talking about Jimmy" she snapped back.
As the lecture continued it became obvious Nicky was not really interested in the subject and spent the lecture on her phone or annoying her friend, and when the lesson finished you wouldn't need vampire hearing to hear her sigh of relief. Nadia continued to follow the pair as they made their way to the cafeteria, "you're acting really spazzy Nick" Jimmy said as they pulled back the chairs of their table "is this because of what happened to Duncan?". Nicky went quiet "i don't want to talk about it Jimmy" she insisted, this obviously didn't dissuade Jimmy he lent forward and continued "i know you didn't like him that much but you knew him for years its got to hurt". Nicky shrugged "im fine he was an idiot and now he's a dead idiot" she said and attempted to change to subject " do remember what i was doing earlier?" she asked "i have this massive blur between our first and second class". "I don't know looks like you decided to get changed" he gave up and left the table heading over to the lunch line, Nicky folded her arms and slouched back in her chair a thoughtful look spreading across her face. Nadia moved closer to the isolated girl taking a seat in front her when Nicky looked up at her Nadia locked eyes and pulled her into a compulsion "be friendly and answer my questions" Nadia ordered. "Who are you?" Nadia asked "Nicola Grannis" Nicky answered her eyes dead as Nadia poked her way through her mind "why are you in Paris?" Nadia asked she see out of the corner of her eye the lunch line getting shorter Nickys friend would be back quicker than Nadia had expected "i'm studying forensic science". Nadia nodded she had one last question "have you ever seen anyone who looks exactly like you?" Nicky nodded "this morning she and her friend kidnapped me for about half hour then made me forget". Nadia quickly wiped Nickys mind and left the table just as Jimmy returned "who was that?" he asked placing the food on the table before he retook his seat.
Nadia watched the pair through lunch, she didn't like Nicky her being around especially so close to their new home would only bring trouble and all it would take is one photo online of in a paper and they would have people knocking down their door. Klaus, the Salvatores and a hundred other people would be hot on their trail and you can only fake your death so many times.
The moment the elevator doors opened Caroline shot out and headed for the stairs, she ran down stairs as fast as she could a burst through the double doors at the bottom "STEFAN" she shouted, she scanned the room and quickly found him. She ran over to him and grabbed ahold of him by the shoulders "did you see her?" she asked slightly out of breath, Stefan shook his head "no and nobody knows anything i think they've been compelled" Caroline vigorously shook her head "no.. just now.. did you see her?" she panted. Once she had caught her breath they ran out of the lobby following Elenas scent "how long has it been?" Stefan asked Caroline shrugged "i don't know about five maybe six minutes" they chased her scent down the street but they noticed it seemed to split off in different directions.
"You go that way" Stefan said pointing down one of the trails "i'll take this one if we dont find her we meet back at the hotel" before Caroline could respond Stefan was gone running as fast as he could. Following Elena scent took Caroline miles away from the hotel, each place the scent grow stronger just confused her more and more, there were a couple of clubs and a gym not exactly kidnappee hot spots. Eventually the trail lead to a college campus "my god did she get kidnapped or just study abroad and forget to tell us" she joked as she walked around the grounds, Elenas scent lead her to a few buildings but just as she was about to enter the first she heard something, the fast footsteps of a vampire. Quicky spinning around she saw a fast blur come to a halt revealing Nadia, anger bubbled inside of Caroline and she dashed forward pouncing on an unsuspecting Nadia "what the hell?" exclaimed Nadia as she fell to the ground.
Caroline punched wildly jabbing Nadia in the stomach, Nadia kicked her off and jumped to her feet "Caroline? how the hell did you find us?" she asked as she tensed preparing herself for Carolines next assault. "who cares how, give us back Elena" Caroline said she tried to land another punch but ow Nadia was expecting it and easily slapped away her fist "make me" Nadia taunted before she speed out of sight heading back in the direction of the hotel. Caroline gave an angry grunt and gave chase, this woman had taken away her best friend as she wasn't going to get away with it.
