Chapter one- Revelations

Caroline wakes up facing a white ceiling feeling a little disoriented while all her memories flow back to her slowly. The last few months and the compelled memories from her time with Damon float through her mind. She focuses on the later to comprehend everything he told her in his drunken rambling. She remembers him feeding and fucking her vigorously when he could and other times he was just sitting next to her drinking bourbon talking about his life beginning to end. She didn't mind the sex so much but recalling the painful bites and his tendency to be abusive when angered wasn't a happy feeling. She also knows the Elena look alike that smothered her (growls at the memory) was actually Katherine, the vampire that made both Stefan and Damon, to send a message to them.

She just now notices the aching hurt in the back of her throat due to a nurse with a rapid heartbeat walking by the door. Caroline just thinks for moment wondering how she would know that and why she cares. Then a memory from her childhood is resurfacing.

Flashback

"I don't understand mom, how do humans become vampires? Don't they make their own vampire babies?" the fourteen year old Caroline says to her mom that is tucking her in bed. The preteen has been told stories about vampires since she was eleven but every year she learns a little more. Sometimes the thing she was told scares her but her mom reassures her that she will always protect her.

"Well honey when a human is hurt sometimes and a vampire is near they will give the human some of their blood to heal them. But if the human doesn't heal and dies soon after then that human will be in what grown-ups call transition. Where the being either continues to die or drinks another human's blood and then they are a vampire for eternity." Her mom clarifies for her.

Caroline replies saying, "That's weird. Well night mom!" the teen falls fast asleep and her mom leaves to do the same.

End Flashback

Caroline says to herself, "So much for protection mom! Ugh I probably should've kept wearing that locket she gave me full of vervain. But it was a hideous gold color and big with crappy looking flowers on it so there was reason enough to stop wearing it. Unfortunately that came back to bite me in the ass."

Caroline wonders what she wants to do either die (not her first choice) or either become a vampire (she doesn't like that one either).

Instead of just flipping a coin she picks up a piece of paper from the nightstand and grabs a pen and writes a pro con list of each choice.

Die

Pro's- Don't have to drink blood

I die on my own terms

Con's- I DIE

Become a Vampire

Pro's- I have super strength, speed, agility, hearing, and smell

I will be immortal

I will time to do anything I want

I will be able to compel humans

I could heal instantly

Con's- Watch the people I love that are humans die

Maybe never see the sun again if I can't find a witch to give me a sun ring

Also I will have to continuously drink blood

After looking at the piece of paper for a good half hour Caroline decides she will become a vampire. Dying at the age of seventeen just seemed like such a waste to her. So having made her choice to be a vampire she unhooks herself from the machines and the IV's in her. Then walks to the closet in the hospital room she is in. She changes out of the hospital gown she is in and into the pair of jeans and a red t-shirt that must have been left by the last person there. Luckily that fit if only a little snug, but after looking at the mirror in the bathroom checking the way she looks. Her hair is a little more golden blonde and she can see every speckle of grey in her blue eyes that she never noticed.

She shakes her head to keep focused on her task of transitioning. Before she steps out of the bathroom she hears a human turning the door knob to the room. She knows it is probably the nurse checking on her so she speeds behind the door and lets the woman open the door. Then grabs her waist and turns her around to face her. Caroline notices the name tag, jenny, and tries to mimic what Damon did to compel her. Ignoring the sweet smell of the girl's blood she looks into the nurse's eyes and says, "Do not scream or panic. Just tell me where I can find the dying patients." The woman's whole body relaxes and says, "The terminal ward is down the hall to the left." She continues to stare at Caroline's eyes so Caroline Forces her will on her again and says, "You will delete any information you have on Caroline Forbes and Forget about ever seeing me. Also you will clean up this room after I leave and destroy anything that is associated with me."

Caroline noticed the flowers and balloons that say get well and wanted them gone. Caroline let the nurse go and went to towards the terminal ward. As she was getting closer she could smell the different diseases and decay from the rooms she continued to pass by. She opened a door on the left and saw a man in his seventies that hooked up to IV's and had no legs. She walked up to his bed and sat down on the chair next to him.

The man had silver hair and his face was contorted in pain. She felt pity for this man and even though he had the smell of a wet dog, the blood in his vein's still called to her like homemade chocolate chip cookies. As she stepped closer his eyes began to flutter and open.

He said, "Are you an angel?"

Even though startled she replies saying, "No but I can take the pain away you feel forever. Would you like that?"

He nodded and she looked in his and said, "When I bite you will feel only pleasure." Then cupped his cheek and turned his face to the side. She leaned down and tried to bite gently as possible and drank deeply from him until his heart slowed to almost nothing, and then taking the memory of Damon healing her bites with his blood she cut her finger to heal the bite on his neck and stayed in the room to listen to his heart stop completely. Once the monitor read no heartbeat, the ringing started and she heard the nurses coming down the hall to check on the patient.

She quickly sped down the same hallway with vampire speed and wasn't even noticed when she went into the security room. She deleted the recordings from the last two days and paused all the screens. She sped out of the building and went in the direction of her house. Caroline knew she only had a few hours till sunrise and started to create a plan to start her new life as a vampire.

Caroline tried to open the door but couldn't get through the barrier, so she paced back and forth. She whispers, "Fuck I guess not all things in the movies were false. Shit! How am I supposed to get in my own house?" She looked around and saw that her mom's car was there so she walked around to the back of the house where her mom's bedroom window was and knocked repeatedly at human pace. She heard her mom wake up, and then grabs her gun in the nightstand. As she stood next the window, Ms. Forbes pulls back the curtains. Caroline stayed there seeing her mom's face turn from a scowl to a surprised expression.

Ms. Forbes opened the window then asked, "What are you doing Caroline?"

She replied, "I forgot my keys so I can't open the front door. Can you let me in?"

"Sure but, I meant what are you doing out of the hospital?" her mom inquired.

"Please just let me in first then I'll tell you all about it ok? I'm really tired mom." Caroline quips back. Her mom nods then closes the window and motions with her hand for Caroline to walk back to the front door. Once she lets Caroline in, she walks to the kitchen and asks, "So? What going on."

The lump in Caroline's throat constricted even more. No matter how much she just wanted to cry on her mom's shoulder and tell her everything. She did not know if Liz, Caroline's moms first name, would kill her or help her. Without knowing for sure how the conversation would go with her mom. She did what every teenager does; lie to their parents.

Caroline sighs and says, "I woke up alone a while ago and felt fine so I called a nurse and asked if I could release myself to be able to sleep in my own bed. She was nice enough to help me fill out the paperwork and then she gave me a ride home just now since her shift ended at the hospital."

As her mom grabs a glass of water, Liz nodded and said, "Ok then I will let go get to sleep, but just to let you since everything that happened yesterday I will probably not be home much for a while."

Caroline nods and thinks to herself 'Like I would notice, you are never here anyways. Well I guess it's for the better I leaving soon anyways.' She says goodnight to her mom and walks up the stairs to her room. As she opens the door, she remembers how Damon used her in this very room. She starts to get angrier every step she takes to the bed and then screams into the pillow. As she relaxes once again then opens her jewelry box on top of her dresser to find the vervain locket.

The smell coming off the locket was like rotten jalapeƱos you would find in a bad Mexican restaurant. She picks it up and opens the locket to find the dried purple flower. She goes to pick it up but it burns her, so she drops it. She thinks to herself, 'Not only does it stop compulsion it hurts vampires too. Hmmm Damon you had better prepare.'

Author notes- I hate editing, but when i noticed my mistakes I had to fix them. Sorry but I was always bad in english class. I also added a little more to the beginning to start Chapter two at the boarding house. If you would like to add anything to the storyline just let me know and I will see what I can do.
