Caroline Forbes was born into a cruel world. Over 400 years ago vampires took over the world, tired of living in the shadows and hiding their true nature. Vampires only comprised of 4% of the population at the time, but they had the power of surprise and viciously took over. The humans fell and Vampires came into rule.
Humans became property, and their blood currency. Countries, cities, towns no longer existed, Vampires drew borders where they wanted. Rules were based on which Vampire land you resided in, and very few were considered fair. Vampire hierarchy is based off of age and wealth. Wealth coming in the form of humans and weapons. Vampires ruled over humans but no one ruled over the vampires.
Over the years the human population grew slowly, but Vampires have only had a handful created within the past centuries.
Caroline Forbes was born on the Salvatore Estate in a town that was once known as Mystic Falls. The Salvatore brothers, Damon and Stefan, and Katerina Petrova, Stefan's mate, presided over the land and the Vampires treated the humans better then most others, they had rules they followed and expected their guests to follow:
~Anyone under the age of 18 were untouchable
~Pregnant women were to be treated with respect
Then there were rules that only guests followed:
~Witches were to be left alone
~Compelling humans is forbidden without expressed consent
~Killing is not allowed without expressed permission
Caroline was the exception, she was Damon Salvatore's personal human. The only Vampire in control of her was him, and he was above the rules. No one could save her, not even Stefan Salvatore.
Caroline's parents, Elizabeth and William, were born and raised there as well but their hearts burned for Vampires to be extinguished. They executed a plan to kill Damon Salvatore while Stefan and Katerina were away. Damon Salvatore stopped them and as punishment they were to be killed and their 4 year old daughter was to belong to him. He didn't even give them the chance to say goodbye. Damon didn't want to deal with raising Caroline, so she was left in the care of Stefan, the kind brother. Katerina was ruthless, selfish, and manipulative, she didn't want anything to do with Caroline.
Caroline spent 8 years under Stefan's care, he was kind to her and taught her everything he could possibly get her mind to absorb. Caroline knows more about literature than one could ever imagine a 12 year old would know, she can speak Italian fluently as well as English, and is advanced in all other subjects as well. Even though Katerina thought of Caroline as a waste of space the two were together more often then naught because of Stefan. Caroline learned a few things from Katerina through their time force together; she learned how to be regal in the face of danger, how to take calculated risk, and how to always be in control. Despite Stefan's love and protection for the young girl, Caroline is insecure because all the other mortals fear her and hate her. Caroline has been rejected by her own because of her involuntary closeness with the Vampires. Caroline keep her sanity by her tight control over everything she had power over, from when she wakes up to what she eats to what she wears.
Over the years Caroline has befriended one mortal among the Salvatore's possessions, a young werewolf named Tyler Lockwood. Tyler was Caroline's only link to a culture she was born into and taken from, the two were inseparable from the moment they met. Being a werewolf Tyler had a few perks the humans did not, he was never a servant to the Vampires, the only use they had for him was the curse that hasn't been activated.
Caroline's life was taking on normalcy when Damon Salvatore decides to take back what is his. At age 12 any normalcy Caroline had going for her is taken away with Damon's presence. She was forced to go with him everywhere, her life with Stefan ended abruptly and her visits with Tyler were few and far between.
The Salvatore's are very wealthy Vampires, despite their relatively young in age with both being over 600 years old, they own one of the largest vervain manufactures in the world. Mystic Falls soils is excellent for producing the plant, and it is in high demand since every vampire wants protection. Damon does most of the traveling for business, Stefan is a homebody and Katerina has many enemies, and Caroline accompanies him on every single one. At first Caroline was scared, scared Damon would let other Vampires take advantage of her, but luckily for her the rules from the estate followed them and she thought it would last. When she turned 16 Damon began to feed from her, he liked to make the bites visible so everyone would know she was his. There was nothing anyone could do, Stefan tried to talk to Damon but he shut him down by reminding him that Caroline was his possession and under his control.
Caroline didn't mind when Damon fed off of her, it was usually for convince and just to rub it in Stefan's face that he couldn't do anything about it. Damon would quickly get bored with her and leave her alone for awhile, feeding on the other humans the Salvatore's possessed. But their first business trip after left Caroline full of terror, she thought Damon let other Vampires use her. She soon learns Damon is possessive and doesn't like to share. No matter how powerful the other was Damon never let anyone touch Caroline.
Caroline is now 17 and has been in Damon's care for 5 years now. In the half decade she has learned everything there is to know about the Salvatore business, and how Damon runs it. She knows where the vervain grows, who takes care of it, how it is packaged, the different forms it is offered in, who buys it, and how it is sold. She also knows the name and health of every single mortal the Salvatore's own. Caroline knows most there is to know about the other Vampires Damon conducts business with, and the 'goods' the Salvatore's import. Damon is confident and seems to always has the upper hand, even when he is the underdog.
Throughout her years spent with Vampires she has come to fear only Damon and another, Klaus Mikelson, and she has a unique perspective other humans don't have, she sees the humanity in the Vampires, and she knows they have the capacity for kindness and greatness.
Caroline wonders why Damon treats her the way he does, she may be his walking blood bag but he has given her so many opportunities, she just wants to know why he treats his slave kindly.
A/N Just an idea I had when I came across this movie called Daybreakers, this story has nothing to do with the movie, the synopsis talked about blood used as currency.
This is just the prologue and if I get one review letting me know to continue then I will.
Thank you for reading!
