Caroline was up and about in a day. She was back in the Salvatore School, and working as she usually did.
"Hello," She picked up the phone, "Caroline Forbes, the Headmistress of the Salvatore School." She repeated what she usually did. "How may I help you?"
"It's Hayley!" Hayley Marshall, mother of Hope Mikaelson replied. "I just wanted you to know that Hope is coming this afternoon with Klaus."
"Oh…" Caroline said, "So, where should she stay, at the school or with me?"
"I'll be comfortable if she stays with you for a while….." Hayley confessed. "Then….I want her to fit in."
"Why don't I reserve a room for her in the school?" Caroline made a proposition, "And if she needs me, I am either in my office, or across the street?"
"Okay…" She gave in. "And..congratulations, on your engagement with Klaus."
"Thank you." Caroline beamed.
"May God be with you!" Hayley shuddered. "Good luck!"
Caroline laughed.
"I know."
Caroline Forbes was waiting for Hope Mikaelson and Klaus Mikaelson at the airport that afternoon. Alaric was slightly upset that she was leaving work for personal visitors, but she reminded him that Hope was a student and Klaus was a benefactor. He didn't have any answer so she left.
Hope was chattering very fast in the seat behind, occasionally coming near the front seats.
Caroline stopped the car, and brought Hope a chocolate ice cream from a street vendor. And Klaus objected to buying cheap ice cream, and Caroline ignored him.
She saw Hope was happy with the ice cream, since Klaus never allowed her things like ice cream from a street vendor, or corn dogs from the shop around the corner from the Mystic Falls Grill.
"Okay…" Caroline stopped the car, "Here we are!"
She took the key out, and opened the trunk. Klaus took out Hope's suitcase from the back.
"Now, school hours are over…" Caroline told her, "I am going to take you inside, and show you your room, and Lizzie and Josie will help you set up."
She nodded.
"And if there is trouble, and you don't want to sleep at the campus." Caroline reassured her, "You can always ask Lizzie or Josie to bring you home."
Hope nodded again.
Caroline and Hope disappeared through the gates of the Salvatore School when Klaus went to the other side of the street and opened the Forbes house with his keys.
He saw large binders on the living room table. Arranged in rows in the middle of the table. He snickered. It was so Caroline.
One of the binders was marked,
'Wedding plans.'
The other one was marked.
'Salvatore School, Administrations.'
The third binder was marked,
'Salvatore School, Student records.'
The Fourth and the last one said,
'The Salvatore School, Finances.'
It made him so crazy sometimes that she was so organized. In her defense, she always said, 'At least I don't use my organizational skills for revenge plans or arranged murders.'
He always found that funny. It was funnier because it was true, she channelled all her energy in a positive thing, it was something he hadn't ever seen in a vampire before. Her control levels were extraordinary. Perhaps that was something that was the most attractive thing about her.
Kind when she wanted to be,
Nice when she wanted to be.
Vindictive when she needed to be.
Sarcastic always.
Every emotion, every aspect of her heightened sense was perfectly balanced.
He opened the wedding binder, he really didn't care about the wedding plans, but since she was interested in it, he had to take a look every now and then.
Suddenly, there was a knock at the door. He looked at his wrist watch. Then he looked at Caroline's calendar. No one was scheduled to come. He opened the door.
"I thought this was Caroline Forbes's House?" It was Davina Claire who was standing behind the door. "Oh, it's you….."
"And hello to you too!" Klaus displayed a one sided smile, "Do you have an appointment with Ms. Forbes….." He snickered, "Or, should I say, Mrs. Mikaelson to be!?"
"You should just say Ms. Forbes." Davina rolled her eyes, and came inside.
Kol followed her, and punched Klaus on the shoulder,
"That's for lying to and driving us apart!"
Klaus held up to punch him back. Davina raised her eyebrows, and he remembered his promise to her, and said,
"Thank you, Kol!" Through gritted teeth.
He went towards the kitchen. And opened the fridge, he took out a blood bag, he opened it.
"Bring me one!" Kol shouted from the living room.
Klaus took another one out from the fridge and threw it over, Kol grabbed it in midair and sat down.
Both Kol, and Klaus could hear footsteps, the door opened and Caroline came inside.
"Hello," She looked at Kol. "Kol.....and You must be Davina Claire!"
"Caroline Forbes!" They shook hands. "I understand, you want to apply for a job in the magic department."
"You girls, really don't have to be that formal!" Kol slurped. "We are practically family."
"Mr. Mikaelson, this is an interview." Caroline said sternly, "You can be quiet, or you can leave the premises."
Klaus snickered at Kol, who left the couch and joined Klaus in the kitchen and opened another blood bag.
"Well, Your girlfriend is a control freak!" Kol told Klaus.
"And she is about to be your girlfriend's new boss!" Klaus retaliated.
"Oh….Bugger!"
Klaus's eyebrows raised.
"I win, Kol! Always!" He laughed at his brother's weird face.
