Prologue; I'm thinking of you while I'm dying.
~ A Klaroline love story.
You can't hear me cry, see my dreams all die...
from where you're standing, on your own.
It's so quiet here and I feel so cold...
~Nikisha Reyes. (So cold.)
,,Help! Please help me!'' She screamed loud and clear but no one could hear her. Were was she? Some where under the ground. The vervain ropes burned in her chest, neck and belly while she tried to move. Why did they do this to her? Why did they have to torture her? They could just kill her… Everyone in Mystic Falls knew. They all weared vervain and knew vampires existed. All of her friends were able to leave but she wasn't. ,,They will come back for me!'' she had repeated those words for weeks now, but no one came. She was hurt and not strong enough to break free. ,,Caroline! Please have something to drink.'' Her father said while he walked in to the room. She sat on a chair with vervain ropes around her and two times a day the opened the window and let her burn for about half an hour. Caroline knew what her dad meant. He came closer and poured a liquid in her throat. It was some kind of vervain jus. She tried to scream but she was burned from the inside for a few seconds… Of course she healed but he just poured some more in her mouth. She knew her dad would do this, but her mom? Liz was the one who opened the curtains twice a day. Had they ever even love her at all? And her friends, they were just gone. She couldn't count on them…
Caroline was about to give up when she heard Klaus' voice in her head. ,,Take a chance, Caroline.'' He said to her a long time ago. She didn't want to hurt her parents but she had to get blood. She had to break those ropes and run as fast as she could. That night the old door opened again and her mother came in. This was her chance! She would take it! Just like Klaus had said. When Liz came closer she grabbed the first piece of skin she found to pull her closer with the last bit of strength she had. Right after that she placed her fangs aggressive in Liz's shoulder which was close enough. She had to lean forward so the roped burned but she could drink now. She drank as much as she could and watched how her mom fell on the cold ground. Actually she didn't care. With her vampire strength she broke the ropes and ran towards the open door. She still didn't feel really strong but she drank enough to get out of here. She smelled a lot of vervain so she weakened quick. Her hair stuck to her face. She was so sweaty, and felt so sick. She was almost there, almost! Would she make it?
She ran out of the building but wait, didn't she forgot something? As soon as the sunbeams made contact with her skin she felt like she burned alive… ,,Shit! My ring!'' she grumble to herself. She had to get back inside! After searching the whole building she finally found her ring but someone saw he. She had to get rid of him before he followed her of worse… She drew her fangs through his skin and sucked till he died. The only thing she could do now was just get out of here. She had to leave him, she had no time to hide him! She ran towards the forest as soon as she left the building. She needed a safe place to sleep. It was winter and the forest would probably be the warmest place, but wouldn't they look there for her? Maybe she could better go sleep somewhere in a small alley, where no one would see her. She heard voices and ran with her vampire speed back to Mystic Falls. She looked for some place safe because it was getting late. The sun was almost under… She walked in to an alley and sat on the ground between two big garbage cans so no one would see her.
All Caroline could think about while she was sitting there was him, that special person who made her always feel like she was a princess. He had always been there for her, she loved him, secretly. Maybe he would be there if the had told him that before he left... But it was too late. He had probably forgotten about her. Why didn't I let him in? He was so kind to me, he tried so hard and he always had my back.
She closed her eyes as she felt her fingers freezing. She wasn't wearing much, just a thin blouse and a skirt. It was really warm were they had kept her all this time so she didn't need more there, but outside that building, it was about 15,8 ºF. Caroline wasn't sure if she was going to survive this. God knows how long she would be here… Without food. By morning everyone would knew she wasn't captured anymore. Everyone would stay inside so she wouldn't be able to drink. She found some old matchsticks in the garbage can. Caroline tried to warm herself with the sticks which didn't work very well, but then she remembered the story about the little girl with the matchsticks… Does this mean, she was going to die? She was a vampire so technically she already was dead, but she could still freeze to death right?
