A/N: Hello everyone!
Who have read my work knows this is my first non-delena fic. Hope you all like this! And give this same love you gave to my other fics!
Tomorrow when I saw the episode I was so pissed that they didn't do anything about Enzo. And then I was talking to blueeyedspirit, this idea stuck in my mind. And I knew I have to write it! I love Cenzo and am supporting them with my full heart. Cenzo is on second number on my obsession list, after DELENA.
P.S.: A very big thanks to LMRaven and Seryyth for helping me through the summary and the title crises!
Enjoy!
Matt and Tripp got off Tripp's truck in the middle of the woods. There was an eerie silence covering the forest. If they were normal people and haven't been through thing that had been through they would probably be scared right now.
"What id this place?" Matt asked when he noticed a burnt cabin in front of where they were standing.
"A secret." Tripp said with his hands in his pocket. He looked at Matt for a few second then began to walk towards the cabin.
"A secret?" Mat asked really confused. If it was a secret then why was he telling this to him?
"I only share with," He paused and looked at him,"People I trust." Tripp added.
"Remember the gas leak in town over the summer? I came back to make sure my grandmother was okay. First time I am back in years." Matt was listening very carefully picking up all the information he could get,"But when I crossed town border," He paused for effect before walking towards the fuse box and continuing,"Something changed. Memories came flooding back." He opened the fuse box and pulled out a key. Matt looked around trying to memorise the place if they needed it in future,"I realised, my wife," He walked over to Matt, his voice was filled with pain and anger as he spoke,"Didn't die in the car crash. She was murdered, drained of blood, right in front of me. And the killer, made me believe," He pointed to himself,"I was responsible."
He then turned towards the door and opened the door,"Now to find out what kind of monster could do all that." He finally opened the door and went on, Matt flowing his trail. He switched on the light as Matt came in.
Enzo was sitting in the centre of the room with his head down And his hand and legs chained. As he heard someone enter he moved his face up to look who it was and found Matt's blue eyes looking at him along with Tripp's light blue eyes ones that were filled with hatred.
"Vampires. They are real." He said but Lorenzo's eyes were fixed on Matt's, trying to read what he would do about this,"And one murdered my wife." Tripp said as he walked over to Enzo's side and sat down beside him,"But this is the one who murdered Jay. Time to get him to name all his vampire buddy starting with the one who bit you friend Sarah."
NEXT DAY
Matt was in his tossing and turning. His mind was a mess as he came back from the wood. He was in the Lockwood's mansion thinking about what he should do. He could call Caroline and tell her. He could go back and free Enzo while Tripp was busy and free Enzo. But that meant he would be sabotaging Tripp. He didn't want to break the guy's trust.
But he had also seen the way Tripp tortured Enzo. Enzo sat there showing no sign of pain, as he had been through worse over the years. Tripp had forced vrevain down his throat, then he staked him in the shoulder, stomach, legs and arm, but Enzo didn't break. He shot him with wooden bullets in his head and Enzo still refused to tell any names. After seven hours of torturing Enzo different ways Tripp had been exhausted. He made Matt leave and then locked the door, saying he would try that and something else again tomorrow. And if it didn't work he would kill Enzo.
Matt huffed a sigh, got up, and picked his phone. He dialled Caroline's mobile number and waited for her to pick the phone up.
"Hey Matt!" Caroline said in a rushed tone,"What's up?"
"Nothing. I just have to tell you something." Matt answered.
"Uff," Caroline sighed,"One more thing to add to my to-do list."
"What else is there on your to do list?" Matt asked, second guessing his decision on telling Caroline. He could do it himself.
"Find Enzo. He been MIA since the night of the party. I am not saying that we are best bud or something, but he would tell me if he was leaving town, right?. Or Alaric would know if Enzo was tracking a new lead, wouldn't he?"
"Yeah, about that..."
"What? Do you know something?" Caroline asked.
"Yesterday night I found out Tripp had him prisoned in a cabin in middle of the woods. It's outside Mystic Falls border."
"What?! And why am I just finding out about this?!" Caroline demanded in a high pitched voice.
"Because... I was with Tripp all night, and he was kinda... you know... torturing Enzo."
"Oh God!" Caroline gasped,"I have to find him."
"I don't know the place exactly but I think it was near the cemetery."
Caroline was looking through the wood trying to find Enzo. She heard some light noises coming from from her left side. She turned and vamp-speed towards the noise. As she got closer she recognised the noise of someone moaning in pain. She could smell vrevain and blood in the air. She rushed forward as fast as she could. A small black coloured cabin came in her view as she moved faster. She reached out for the handle but as her hand touched the handle she moaned in pain.
The handle had vrevain on it. She couldn't touch it. She tried to kick off the door but it won't open. It was really strong even stronger in front of all her vampire strength.
"Enzo! Is that you?" She yelled.
"Yes." Enzo's voice broke as he said. That was all the confirmation she needed. As she was hitting the door with Vamp-strength she noticed there was a glass window. She walked over to it and threw a rock she had just picked up from the ground at glass shattered and fell on the floor. She opened the window and jumped inside the cabin. As she jumped in the glass cut her face and leg from some places.
The sight in front of her was horrible. There laid Lorenzo in pool of his own blood and vrevain. His shit was tore showing that he had been staked. His hairs all messed up.
"Hey! Are you okay?" She said as she help him stand up and made him sit on the floor that was away from vrevain so that he won't hurt anymore. She helped him sit down and then sat down in front of him, assessing his injuries and running his hand over his face.
"It's not worst that before, gorgeous." Caroline smiled at this. Even in this situation he didn't called her from he rname. She like the nickname he had given her. Not that she would ever tell him that,"I am peachy." He said.
"Here," She pulled out a blood bag from her hand bag that she had brought with her,"This will help." As she was giving him the blood bag Enzo noticed that her hands were burnt,"What happened?" He asked taking her hands in his.
"Nothing the door handle was vrevained." She told him and shrugged.
"I am gonna kill that man." Enzo glowed.
"No! You are not gonna!" Caroline scolded,"But right now drink these." She took out one more blood bag. Enzo dug his fangs in the first one and drained it faster.
"Do you have more?" He asked before he started the second one.
"No. Why? If you need more we could get when we are out of here." Caroline said concerned.
"That's not why I asked. You are also hurt, have this." He said holding the blood bag out for her.
"No, you are more hurt. You should have it." She said as she pushed the blood bag back to him.
"Okay, I have a deal, you drink half, I drink half. How's that?" Enzo suggested.
"You are not gonna give up are you?" Caroline asked.
"No way in blood hell." Enzo answered.
Caroline huffed but punctured the blood bag with her fangs, the blood bag still in Enzo's hand, and drank a little from it. When she was pulling back Enzo said,"That's not half, gorgeous." Caroline rolled her eyes and drank a little more. Then she pulled out her fangs and before Enzo could complaint she said,"I am not taking anymore. Now be a good boy and drink the rest."
"Who said I was a good boy?" Enzo asked.
"Okay, be a bad boy and drink that." Caroline said and they both laughed. He finished and just then Tripp opened the door. They were both so lost that they didn't hear his foot steps.
"Oh, what do we have here?" He rhetorically asked. He shot them both with wooden bullet in their head. And the last thing Enzo remembered the fell of Caroline's hand reaching for his. He wrapped his hand around her and held on tight.
Enzo slowly opened his eyes. His hands were burning as they were tied from vrevain socked ropes. His eyelids felt like they weighted thousand pounds. When his eyes fully opened he looked around and realised he was in a car with Caroline beside him. She was still unconscious. He crawled towards her and shook her with his tied hands.
"Enzo?" Her hoarse voice asked.
"Yes, gorgeous." Enzo said as he tried to break off the ropes tying his hands.
"Were are we?" She questioned.
"I would guess in back of an SUV." Enzo answered. He finally succeeded in breaking the ropes and freeing his hands. He rubbed his hands once before going to where Caroline was and trying to break her ropes. Her ropes were also soaked in vrevain. His hands burnt everytime he touched them but after a couple of tried he succeeded.
Tripp opened a small window that let him see the back seat from the front of the SUV. He saw that Enzo had broken free and he had also removed the ropes that were tying Caroline's hand.
"A little too late." He said as he drove into the Mystic Falls border. Caroline and Enzo started to scream in pain. Tripp opened the SUV so that The sunlight could hit them and burn the to ashes.
But as he opened the window, Enzo saw a chance, he grabbed Caroline and jumped out of the SUV. They landed under a tree, so the sunlight couldn't reach them. There were not to far inside Mystic Falls to he tried to pushed Caroline towards border and make her safe. As he was pushing her away, Caroline held his hand and pulled him towards herself.
They both somehow made it to the border and laid there for couple of minutes. Tripp stopped his car and saw that Enzo and Caroline had escaped. He got back into his SUV and drove further in.
Enzo and Caroline were in her and Elena's dorm. Caroline was laying on her bed where as Enzo was sitting on a chair near her looking at her beautiful sleeping form. Many thought were running through his mind. Thoughts like, why did she came to rescue him? Why didn't she just rolled toward the other side of the border alone? He had killed Ivy. Well, he gave her vampire blood before killing her, but she didn't know that. So in her eyes he had just killed her. Why would she save a psychopathic murderer like him? She had told him that, * she hated him for what he did to Ivy, in the forest, then why did she came to save him?
She stirred in her sleep and then woke up. Enzo vamp-seed to her side and supported her in sitting position.
"How do you feel, gorgeous?" He asked concerned as he stroked her hairs.
"Exhausted." She answered as she kept her head on the headboard,"How are you?" She suddenly remembered everything and looked toward him. She raised her hand to his chest and found out he had changed the shirt. Her hands roamed over his shirt, looking for any injury,"Are you okay?"
"I am fine, sweetheart." Enzo said as he took his hand in his and stilled her movement. Suddenly they both noticed their close proximity. Their breath became a bit shallow,"Can I ask you something?" Enzo questioned breaking the silence but never breaking the eyes contact. When Caroline nodded he finally got out what was on his mind,"Why didn't you just let me die? I am a killer, a murderer. You could have let me die. You said you hated me. I didn't thought you would come."
Caroline's hand came up and connected with his cheek in a hard slap. Enzo sat there to surprised to say anything for a minute. His hand came up to his cheek as if to make sure she had just slapped him,"That was for doubting me." Caroline said. She then took his hand in hers and held it between both of hers and said,"You are my friend Enzo. And I won't let you die. Not even if you did something as horrible as killing an innocent person. And I say a lot of things, that doesn't mean I mean them all." She said, her one hand still interlaced with Enzo's and the other slowly massaging his cheek where she had just hit.
"I am just a friend, hun?" Enzo asked as his eyes filled with mischief.
"Yes." Caroline said, even though it didn't felt right saying it,"You are just a friend." But she just confessed to Elena the night before thta she had feelings for Stefan and she didn't want to jump in with Enzo and make him look like a rebound guy.
"A little more than a friend?" Enzo persisted.
"Whatever you say Enzo." Caroline said rolling her eyes. But there was a smile on her face.
A/N: So I wrote this as an one-shot. And I plan on this staying a one shot. But if you want I could continue this. I have some ideas, but I don't to stretch it for nothing. Well, tell me what you think! I love reviews! And who know, maybe they could make me continue this?
*Can we just pretend Caroline said that she hated him for what he did? We did not saw what she said, so that could be a possibility, couldn't it be?
Bye for now!
XOXOXO
