Chapter One:

My name is Caitlin Gilbert and I never thought that I would fall in love with someone, until I met him when he wanted to sacrifice my half-sister Elena to break the sun and the moon curse which makes vampires unable to walk in the sun and werewolves can only change during the full moon.

Until recently Elena and I thought that we were fraternal twins but we found out that Miranda and Grayson Gilbert were not our real parents and that we were adopted. Our biological father is John Gilbert, Grayson's younger brother, and that Elena's biological mother's name was Isobel Flemming. We don't know who my mother is, but all I know is that she must be a werewolf because when I accidently killed someone a few months ago I turned into a wolf. Not fun. It's very painful. It's like all of the bones in my body are breaking.

There is also this one other thing. I have a birth mark on my right shoulder that's shaped like a crescent moon. It's cool and weird at the same time. I always cover it over with make up or a long sleeve shirt or sweater so that no one can see it.

Okay enough about the past. Let's get to the present now.

I was at the Decade's Dance and the theme was the '60s. I was wearing a baby blue pleated long sleeve chiffon high collar cocktail lace dress with my hair up in a loose pony tail with a few strands of hair framing my face and Elena was wearing a tight sexy purple hippies dress and had her hair up in a high pony tail.

As Elena, Stefan, Bonnie, Jeremy, Damon, and I walked into the gym and tried to make our way through the crowd a girl from our class named Dana was about to make an announcement.

"Thanks for being here, everybody. We have a special shout-out tonight. This is for Elena and Caitlin. From Klaus." Dana said to everyone in the gym.

Then the song, "This Is Dedicated to The One I Love" started playing and everyone cheered while Elena and I were freaking out.

"That was a lame, cheap shot. He's just trying to bait us." Damon said to us in a bored voice.

Elena and I then looked around the gym looking for someone out of place at the dance and didn't belong but we knew everyone here.

"I know everyone here." Elena said to us.

"I do, too." I said to them.

"Maybe he's not here. He just wants us to believe that he is." Stefan said to us hopingly.

"I doubt that. He's here. Somewhere." I said to them.

"It's a party, people. Blend. Let him come to us." Damon said to us.

"Good idea." Bonnie said to Damon.

Bonnie then started pulling Jeremy away so that they could dance.

"No, no, I really don't feel like dancing." Jeremy said to Bonnie whining.

"Too bad." Bonnie said to Jeremy.

Bonnie and Jeremy then walked away from us and began dancing.

Damon then saw Ric standing on the other side of the gym, chaperoning.

"There's Ric. I'll be back." Damon said to us.

"I'll go with you." I said to Damon.

"Fine. Let's go." Damon said to me.

Damon and I then made our way through the crowd over to Ric.

"Special dedication, huh? This guy's a little twisted." Ric said to us.

"You can say that again." I said to Ric.

"I'm not impressed." Damon said to us.

"No?" Ric asked Damon.

"Let me know if you guys see anything out of whack." Damon said to us.

Damon then walked back into the crowd and I looked at Ric.

"Well, if the situation were different and I wasn't freaking out, I'd find that dedication charming and flattering." I said to Ric.

"Really? What has you so freaked out?" Ric asked me curiously.

"Well, not knowing where Klaus is and what he looks like has me a little freaked out. And the fact that I am a werewolf and Klaus needs one in his ritual and the only werewolves in Mystic Falls are me and Tyler. Tyler left the state so it's gonna be me as the werewolf sacrifice if this thing goes down." I said to Ric.

Ric didn't say anything and I am glad because we need to focus on the dancers. I could see Elena dancing with Stefan and then with Damon.

I then saw that Bonnie and Jeremy were dancing.

"How come you're not dancing?" Ric asked me suddenly.

"Dance with who? Everyone has a partner and Damon would rather dance with Elena than me. I don't see anyone coming up to me to ask for a dance, do you?" I asked Ric.

I then let out a frustrated sigh.

"Being on Klaus watch with you is how I'm spending my Decade's Dance. No offense." I said to Ric.

"None taken." Ric said to me smiling.

Then it was silent between us for a while until Ric broke it.

"Do you want to dance with me?" Ric asked me out of the blue.

"What?" I asked Ric confusedly.

"Do you want to dance with me? Everyone else is having fun. Why not you?" Ric asked me.

"I don't know. Dancing with your teacher is kind of weird." I said to Ric hesitantly.

"Come on, live a little. Have some fun tonight." Ric said to me.

I then considered Ric's offer to dance with me for a couple of minutes while biting on my lips before coming to a decision.

"Okay. But only one dance." I said to Ric holding up one finger.

"Okay. One dance." Ric said to me smiling.

Ric and I then linked arms and we walked into the sea of people and began dancing. I then wrapped my arms around Ric's neck and he put his hands on my hips and we started swaying to the music with people staring at us.

"This is so awkward. People are staring." I said to Ric.

"Forget the stares. Just enjoy this one dance." Ric said to me.

"Okay." I said to Ric.

So I continued dancing with Ric all the while ignoring the stares of my classmates and when the song ended Ric and I let go of each other.

"Thank you for the dance. I really enjoyed it." I said to Ric smiling.

"You're welcome, love." Ric said to me smiling.

I then was about to say something to Ric but then I realized what he called me.

"You just called me love. You never call anyone love. Not even your girlfriend. Who are you?" I asked Ric.

"I knew you were the smart one. You already know the answer to that question, love." Ric said to me smiling.

"Klaus." I said to Ric/Klaus in a soft whisper.

"Surprise!" Ric/Klaus said to me smiling madly.

I then started to walk backwards to get away from him, but he had counted on me to do that and grabbed my arms and pulled me back into him and we began dancing with each other again.

"Sorry, love, but I can't let you tell your friends about me just yet." Ric/Klaus said to me.

"Are you going to kill me?" I asked Ric/Klaus in fear.

"No." Ric/Klaus said to me.

"What are you going to do to me?" I asked Ric/Klaus fearfully.

"That depends, love. Can you keep a secret?" Ric/Klaus asked me.

I didn't say anything which must have been enough to give him his answer.

"No? I didn't think so." Ric/Klaus said to me.

Ric/Klaus then led me out of the gym as we were dancing so that no one would notice anything and once we were out of the gym he started dragging me down the hallways until we were far away from the gym.

"What do you plan on doing to me, if you're not gonna kill me?" I asked Ric/Klaus worriedly.

"I just need you out of the way for a while, so you're gonna take a nice little nap, love." Ric/Klaus said to me.

Ric/Klaus then pulled out a syringe from his pants' pocket that was filled with a purple liquid that I recognized by smell as wolfsbane. I tried to pull out of his grip but he just tightened it and pushed me up against a wall.

"No, please don't." I said to Ric/Klaus pleadingly.

"Now, don't make this any harder on yourself, love. Just one poke and then you'll go to sleep for a couple of hours. No harm done." Ric/Klaus said to me.

I then closed my eyes and Ric/Klaus injected the wolfsbane into my neck and I instantly became unconscious.

Later on that night after recovering from the wolfsbane injection Elena told me that Damon helped Bonnie fake her death to make Klaus believe that she was dead and that Jeremy will be staying with her at the old witches' house for a while. She also told me that she plans on undaggering Elijah to get him to help us. I thought she was crazy but after thinking it over in my head I realized that this could be the advantage that we've been looking for to stop Klaus and keep everyone alive.
