Caroline needed space. After her mother's death and everything with Stefan, she needed to clear her head. She had so much shame after her bender with Stefan. She walked along the pavement in some city she didn't bother knowing the name of. She didn't plan to be here for more than a few days. She dropped her bag on the bed and swiped a blood bag from the fridge after she put the new bags that she took from the local hospital.

The door to her room burst open making her jump. Caroline turns quickly facing the Men who burst in the room. "Seriously!?" she said as the Tall one shot her in the neck with a dart. She stumbled back and pulled the dart from her neck.

"Dean," The tall man said confused.

"You have made a huge mistake" Caroline said and her eyes darkened as her fangs dropped.

"Sam now!" The shorter one said after he unloaded a few bullets into her chest. Caroline lunged for the short ones throat as everything went black.

Dean looked at the blonde on the floor. "She can't be more than 18" He said shaking his head. "Friggin' vampires" he said lifting her off the floor before securing her to the arm chair by the back wall.

Caroline blinked a few times before her eyes would focus.

"She is waking up" She heard Dean say. His voice was deep and rough. She looked at the ropes and realized they didn't burn. No vervain. Caroline smiled inward she decided to let them believe she was bound.

"Who are you?" The tall one, Sam she remembered, said.

Caroline looked at him. "I'm Caroline" she said her voice soft and sweet as always. "What do you want from me?" she asked pretending to struggle against the ropes.

"Your head you filthy blood sucker" Dean said through his teeth.

Caroline looked between them. She tried to see which one would be easier to play. Her eyes filled with fake fear. "Please... I don't… I don't hurt anyone" she said her voice shaking.

Dean circled behind her putting the machete against her throat. "Where is the rest of your nest?" He asked.

Caroline's eyebrows pulled together. "What? Nest? It's just me…" she said. Tears pooled in her blue eyes as she looked at Sam. "Please check the fridge… please" she said and Sam looked at dean and then walked to the mini fridge. He knelt down and pulled out a few blood backs.

"Donation bags…" he said tossing them on the bed.

"Doesn't mean she isn't a monster," Dean said pushing the blade against her throat.

Caroline sobbed softly "I'm not I swear" she knew if she tried to escape now her head would be on the floor. "Please, I just want to be left alone" she whispered.

"Dean-"

"She is a vampire, Sam!" Dean barked. "We have been following you a while, and that guy," Dean said leaning down and whispering in her ear. "We followed your trail of bodies all over Virginia. So don't lie to us" he said and walked around to sit in the chair across off her as Sam sat on the edge of the bed.

"Just tell us where the other one is and we will make it quick." Sam said. He had kind eyes, though his face held the lines of anger, sorrow and happiness.

"I'm telling the truth, it's just me" she said and sighed softly "My name is Caroline Forbs My mom is, well, was the sheriff there." She said

Sam and Dean exchanged glances. "Liz Forbs?" Sam asked and Caroline looked at him

"Um, Yeah, She died… a few years ago" she said and Dean stood "Who killed her?" He said gripping the machete tightly.

Caroline felt the familiar pain and looked at her feet shaking her head. "No one. It was a brain tumor." She said.

"And your mother… she knew?" Sam asked.

Caroline nodded "Yeah, she tried to kill me at first, but I don't feed on people. Hell my last year of high school I was a vampire. I. Don't. Hurt. People." She said accenting every word.

"Then explain the bodies," Dean ordered.

Caroline sighed. "Vampires, we have this switch in our head, our humanity switch. We can turn it off. When we do we don't have to feel pain, or sorrow… or guilt" she said and sighed. "When my mom died… and he…" Tears pooled and she tried to blink them back. "I couldn't cope. I thought it was best. I made a mistake. My friends found me, forced me to turn my humanity back on. All that guilt came flooding in and I had to leave." she said

Sam's face softened and he moved to stand but Dean stopped him. "If all that is true how do we know you aren't lying," He said looking at her "How do we know your 'switch' isn't still in the off position," he said.

"Cause if I was lying I wouldn't have come alone. I would have a warm body to feed on," Caroline said.

"You could be laying low"

Caroline sighed and rolled her eyes pulling against the ropes that secured her arms to the chair, breaking them. They both jumped up but Caroline made no attempt to get up she simply placed her hands in her lap "Cause I could have killed you…" she said to Dean then looked at Sam. "Both of you..." she said "My kind is different. We are stronger, faster, but I am not a killer. I didn't ask for this life" she said.

Sam and Dean exchanged questioning looks.

"Who are you anyway" Caroline asked crossing her knees.

They were both quiet for a few moments before the tall one spoke. "I'm Sam, this is my brother Dean. We are hunters."

Caroline laughed and covered her mouth to stifle it quickly. "You call yourself hunters" she shook her head amused. "The 5, you are not" she said and stood slowly. They both tensed ready for a fight and Caroline held her hands up "I'm not going to hurt you" she said and walked over to the sink and grabbed a glass filling it with water.

They all stood there watching each other. "I think that this is what we call a stalemate." Caroline finally said.

"Dean… she seems to be telling the truth,"

"Yeah," he said even though he was obviously not convinced. "Seems so" he said rolling the handle of the blade in his hand.

Caroline looked into Deans eyes "I am telling the truth" she said.

"You are telling the truth" Dean's face changed and he blinked a few times.

"What did you just do to him?" Sam snapped.

"It's called compulsion. My kind has this ability to make anyone do anything we want." She said "Or believe whatever we say. It's how a lot of my kind feed and not get caught. Snatch, Eat, Erase." She said "we make them forget about being bitten."

She said and sighed looking at Dean. "Please just leave" she said.

Dean nodded and looked at Sam, "Seems fine here." He said

Sam looked at him "What no it's not she is messing with your head," He said.

Caroline sighed and stepped towards Dean slowly. "Forget what I said before," she said and Dean blinked a few times.

"Friggin' vampire" Dean said and stepped back furious.

"I'm just trying to survive here," she said and set her cup in the sink.

While her back was turned Dean seized the opportunity and pinned her against the sink with the blade against her throat his hand in her Soft blonde curls forcing her head back. "Give me one good reason why I shouldn't put your head on a spike right now." He said in her ear.

His hot breath smelled of burgers and beer. Caroline could hear his pulse under his skin. She stood there moment breathing through the rush of blood. She finally answered him. "Because you haven't." she said simply.

Dean hesitated a moment, "Doesn't mean I won't" he said pressing the blade to her skin making her bleed.

Caroline gasped at the burning pain on her throat. "I have the feeling if you were gonna kill me you would have when I broke the ropes." She said and turned slowly so she was facing him.

Dean stepped back.

"Dean, Remember Benny? Or Lenore? They were different maybe she is too," Sam said seeing they were just spinning in circles.

Dean looked at her, "Fine, but I'm telling you this." He said and touched the blade to the throat again. "You slip up, make a mistake, take a single human life and I will be back" he said.

Caroline flexed her jaw leaning back to moving away from the blade. "I'm not going to hurt anyone," she said. Dean nodded and slid the blade back into his belt holder.

"Let's go, Sammy" he said walking out the door.

Sam walked to the door and turned back to her, "I'm sorry about your mom" he said and left.

Caroline stood against the sink till she heard them drive off. She walked over to the door and wedged a chair under the knob since they broke her lock.
