Happily Ever After... Or Almost

I was texting Elena to ask her if she arrived home as she told me she would have, when my phone rang.
Damon Bitchy Salvatore was the one who was calling me. Yes. That's how I saved Damon on my phonebook. Something wrong? He is bitchy!
Anyway, I answered the call.
"Caroline? Where is Elena? You were supposed to bring her here, Vampire Barbie!" he shouted. I knitted my eyebrows: What did Elena do this time?
"She said she was going home when we exited the cinema! I thought she was telling the truth, y'know!" I yelled back.
"Goddamit, Caroline, I'm a fucking vampire, I'm not deaf! Anyway, where do you think she is now?"
"I don't flipping know, Damon! She's not very into talking to anyone, these days, if you didn't notice!"
"Yes, like I don't control her every moment, Vampire Barbie! I know she's weird, but that doesn't tell me anything!"
"Damon, look, relax. Klaus let her go, she's not in danger. She's not a child, she can look for herself. You needn't worry. Just wait til she shows up." I ended the call. Damon could be so stressing, from time to time!

That stupid Vampire Barbie! Elena was nowhere to be found and she ended the call like that! Bitch.
"What did she say, Damon?" said a voice behind me. I spun around, even if I knew who it was.
"Anything at all. She just told me to relax... That stupid Vampire Barbie!"
"Well, she isn't so stupid as you think. Tayler would never fall for a stupid girl... Vampire nonetheless. No, she just has a vision clearer than yours, which is affected by love."
"Wanna be a psychologist when you're older? Shut your mouth." I told to the she-wolf in front of me.
"You know that it's true. You're just stressed out. Re..." I didn't let her finish her phrase and at vampire speed I pushed her against the wall, pinning her arms over her head.
"Don't tell me to relax!" I shouted, pushing her even more. I did this too many times... I thought for a second, as I carefully watched her.
"So. What are you gonna do? Stare at me with that dreamy look or do something like letting me free?" She asked, sarcasm dropping from her voice.
"I don't know," I said, reducing the space between us "maybe what I've got in mind is no interest for you..." I whispered in her ear, starting to suck the lobe. I felt her writhe under me, as I descended towards her neck.
"And maybe you're wrong..." she moaned, hooking her legs around my chest.
"Am I? Because it seems to me that you're enjoying this..." I breathed into her ear, making her shiver. This she-wolf has something about her I can't quite place a finger on... I wandered, raising to meet Jules' lips.
I'm decidedly into her...

I was driving toward the boarding house, in order to find Damon and Stefan and do something with that blasted girl called Elena Gilbert. I mean, what is so difficult in going back home like she told me? Anything at all.
When I parked in front of Damon and Stefan's house, I heard someone snogging inside. Lemme guess. Damon. And Jules.
I knocked on the door, huffing.
"Hey, you two! Get decent before you open the door, I don't wanna have my life ruined forever."
"You already saw me naked Vampire Barbie, so don't complain." answered Damon from inside. I huffed a little more.
"Just get the hell here and open this door before I break it."
"You wouldn't, Vampire Barbie, trust me."
"Actually I would, Damon. And, for the umpteenth time, don't call me that!" I shrieked.
"You'll break my door, I'll call you Vampire Barbie. What is right is right." He laughed softly. Softly? Since when softlyand Damon are in the same sentence? Jules was definitely smoothing all the edges Elena left. I didn't know if in better or in worse.

After readjusting myself, I opened to Vampire Barbie, who was standing in front of my door, arms crossed and foot-tapping.
"A little pissed off, Vampire Barbie? You know, closing the call in that way wasn't nice either."
"Damon. Let her be." Jules said behind me, massaging my shoulders. Go figure how she was able to reach them...
"Why should I do that? She never let me be, Jules!" I complained.
"I am actually here, Damon. And, you know, we don't see each other very often, so when we do, I just have to bother you!" Vampire Barbie stated out happily. Gosh, she was unbearable when she was human, and now she's a vampire. What did I do in my life to deserve her and Katherine? One of them is already more than enough!
"I fucking acknowledge that you're here, Vampire Barbie, as hard as I try to forget it, thank you very much."
"Stop already! You two are worse than children, always bickering!" Yelled Jules, then breathing something like "vampires."
"I heard that!" Both me and Vampire Barbie said at the same time. We looked at each other a grinned, actually agreeing on something. Jules frowned but stayed silent.
"So, ladies? What are wo gonna do about Elena? Stefan, you wanna come listen to this little speech of ours, little bro?" I called him over. I knew he was depressed and all about Elena's disappearance, but he needed to take it with some spirit, as I did! Crying over themselves never helped anyone.
In that exact moment, my phone, Stefan's and Caroline's vibrated.

I was the fastest to pick my phone up and I read the message out loud. It was from Elena:
I was at the cemetery. I needed to come here. Sorry it took me so long. C U soon.
We all sighed of relief.
U could've told me that before! Come home NOW. I answered back.
"Thank god." I heard Damon saying, while Stefan was rocking back and forth on a chair, hands joined as in prayer. Jules was smiling and I, well, I was jumping up and down like a mad person. Which maybe I am.
After a while of thanking God, praying, smiling and jumping up and down like a mad person, the bell rang and we all rushed to open the door.
A little explanation. Older vampires are faster than the younger ones. Idem werewolves. So, it wasn't a big surprise that I was the last... But it was a pain in the ass for my ego. I mean, being slower than a werewolf? That hurt.
I hated being a new-be. The most bothering thing, though, was the knowledge that I would've never be stronger than Damon. That was the real pain in the ass.
I was already second to Elena. Now I had to be second to almost all the vampires on earth. Beautiful.
However, Damon won the competition, being the fastest of us.
When he opened the door, in front of it was standing Elena, yes... And next to her, was Klaus.
