Day and night in Mystic Falls had started fading together, ever since Elena had become a vampire it was as if the days melted together. Stefan, Damon, Caroline and Bonnie had been keeping a close eye on her the day Damon had told her to turn off her humanity, ever since then it was like babysitting.
She was like a juvenile who was defiant of their parents, in which case she now had four who were all watching out for her. If she had decided to kill someone, Damon would dump the body, Stefan would try to re-speak morals into her, and Caroline and Bonnie tried to remind her of who she was.
However, sitting in her new room of her new house she looked at the deed she had been mailed from an unknown address and from an unknown sender. But sitting in this house, she knew it had been Tyler.
Dear Care, I miss you. More than I can put into words. But I know as long as Klaus is alive I can't come home. He won't stop trying to kill me. And you won't stop trying to protect me. Which means the only way to make sure you're safe is for me to go and never come back. I leave you the deed to the house. It will protect you in ways I can't anymore. I will always love you.
Not even a signage of his name, or anything but she could tell by the sloppy writing that it was his hand writing, the way he wrote her name on the envelope. She hated the fact about what Klaus had done, about the fact that after everything they had been through the past few months he had done this. He had driven Tyler out, because of his own selfish needs. She still would never forget what he said, "Tell him that this is the mercy I extend for your sake."
Caroline knew she had taken her stabs at him, but she knew he was in love with her. But it was his selfish need for her it seemed that had Tyler running with his tail between his legs to the ends of the earth to escape being killed, and if Caroline could have she would have run with him.
As she brushed a tear away from her eye and put the letter down to her left she looked at the papers in front of her.
There was a binder for planning prom, a few notebooks for her classes and then there was the letter which just lay there uselessly. As she picked it up again, she looked to it and then put it back in the envelope and tucked it under her mattress.
This had been Tyler's bed, this had been the Lockwood's house, and now it was hers.
Her phone chanted once with Stefan's phone number, it had to be Elena was in trouble and sure enough as she picked it up she was surprised to hear a lot of noise in the background.
"Stefan?"
"Caroline, I need your help." His voice didn't sound like there was any need for a rush as she took a deep sigh. "Just tell me where."
"Our house, it's Elena."
"Be there in a few."
With that the phone call was over, she could feel her body almost sag as it wanted to stay attached to the bed. To the sheets that still smelled like Tyler, to re-read the letter, to stay in it and watch some sort of romance and eat ice cream and cry, to do something. But at the same time she was fully aware she needed to help her friend.
