I do not own the vampire diaries, if I did a lot of changes would happen.

Caroline jolted up from her sleep disoriented. The sun was shining bright and had made its way into her room. Looking around it took her a few second to recognize the place even though it was her room.

"Are you alright?" Stefan asked as he flashed over to her bed sitting down in the process.

"Yeah I just "she took a deep breath. How could she explain to Stefan that ever since her mom died three months ago she kept hearing voices every time she fell into a deep sleep? He often thought that her nightmares had to do with the trauma of losing her mom. And even thought he could sense that she was withholding what her nightmares were truly about her never pushed her to tell him. Caroline knew that Stefan thought her re occurring nightmare had to do with her mom and she decided that it would stay that way. Otherwise he would probably think she was crazy. Not having told him about the voices in her head months ago she thought three months in wouldn't be the perfect time to bring it up. So instead she kept it her own little secret.

"Hey it's okay "he said taking her hand into his. He looked at her with genuine concern. Thinking that maybe today would be the day she would tell him what him what her nightmares were about.

Stefan helped her keep her humanity intact after her mother passed away. Always being patient and understanding. All she needed by her side was her best friend. Although they had kissed at the cabin three months ago neither one of them hadn't made any effort to move things further along. Stefan would always be her best friend she realized that nothing would ever change that. At this moment that's all she needed him to be.

Leaving her thoughts behind she looked at him and nodded, "yeah, I just need to get some air"

Getting out her bed she grabbed some clothes from a pile that was stacked in the corner of her room making her way into her bathroom.

"I have some things I need to do "Stefan said out loud knowing she would hear him even with the doors shut. Taking the hint that she had thrown earlier at him.

"Okay ", she said flashing back into her bedroom. She had changed out of her pajamas and into some dark denim jeans with a loose white top and a leather jacket and back combat boots.

Stefan flashed over to where she was standing. Stefan took her in realizing that although she seemed perfectly fine on the outside there had been little things about her that had changed. She now carried a necklace with her mom and dad's wedding ring around her neck as symbol that they would always be a part of her.

He kissed her on her forehead, "call me if you need anything."

Caroline closed her eyes feeling Stefan press her lips on her forehead. She felt him flash past her and as she listened in she heard the front door close behind. Grabbing her purse and her keys she made her way out the house as well.

"Hmm, you seem like you're in a foul mood ", Damon said he tilted his head back and let the alcohol burn his throat.

"Seriously?" Elena raised her brow.

Stefan had just walked into the Salvatore mansion looking devastated. After leaving Caroline's house he decided the best thing he could do was makes his way back home. He knew that Caroline wasn't at risk of turning of her emotions and that's why he had decided to give her some space.

'"How is she?" Elena asked as Stefan took a seat on the couch across from her.

"Some days better than others "he replied taking the drink that Damon had just poured him.

Damon knew better than to continue asking Stefan questions especially in the mood he was in. Instead he sat down next to Elena leaving Stefan to his own thoughts.

Caroline was now on the road making her way to Whitmore College even though it was a Saturday. She just needed to be out her own home and surrounded by people preferably by lots of people. They hadn't figure out a way to bring Bonnie back and she missed her more than ever. Elena was always there but it just wasn't the same without Bonnie around.

Ignoring whatever was playing on her radio as she was lost in thought. The voice that had been haunting for months never meant any harm but that didn't exactly mean that she wanted to welcome whatever force was trying to play games with her.

"Caroline … "A soft feminine voice invaded her head.

Caroline gripped the steering wheel with more force determine to ignore it.

"I'm so sorry that things have to be this way. You won't feel any pain I promise "

Feeling concern wash over her Caroline tried desperately to focus on the road ahead. Her car suddenly spun out of control. Desperately she tried to gain control of it even though she couldn't. She saw her demise before her eyes as her car impacted a tree pushing her straight into the steering wheel that pierced her heart straight out of her body. Leaving her shards of glass all over her face and hands and immediately greying her whole body. The whole front part of the car was smashed into the tree and quickly caught flames.

Bonnie stood there in the middle of the graveyard amazed, he hadn't failed her. She took in a deep breath utilizing her lungs for the first time in the land of the living. Beyond grateful that making a deal with the devil had been worth it. Looking out into the night she gathered all her strength and began making her way back home.

Having finally made it home she opened the door and began mentally making a list. First order of business was packing a few items of clothing. She wasn't planning on being gone for too long. In fact her friends wouldn't even have to know that she had gone on a quick little road trip. They wouldn't have to know what deal she had made to be back in the land of the living. Grabbing the keys that hung by the door she made her way out the house making sure to lock the door behind. Making her way over to the driver's seat she unlocked her dad's car. She threw her duffle bag in the back seat and started the engine. Adjusting her mirrors she put her car in reverse and make her way on to the highway.

Katherine's eyes fluttered open she gasped making sense of where she was. Six feet underground she assumed. Damon had buried her right where he thought she had been for almost 500 years, give or take. Ironic, she thought to herself. Thanking the force that had brought her back to life she was more than glad she was still a vampire. "Please, I'm Katherine Pierce. I am a survivor", she smirked quickly jumping into action.

After thirty minutes she looked down at the grave she had just dug herself out of. Deciding that she needed to get herself clean and also the hell out of mystic falls she flashed through the forest. She had finally made it onto the highway. It was pitch black and chilly outside. The only thing that was in her favor was that she was a vampire and therefor couldn't feel the cold. She had been able had to make out a car in the distance. Waiting for the precise moment before she threw herself into the middle of the road. The car came to a screeching halt an inch away from hitting her.

Flashing over to the driver's side she decided that whoever the unlucky soul that was driving was going to be her next meal. After all a vampire has got to eat especially after being dead for so long.

Okay so that's the first chapter! I hope you guys give me feedback so I know on what to improve. I kind of have an idea of how I want this to go because I've had this idea in my head for awhile, but I've never written anything like this ever.
