What Happened In Mystic Falls

Summary: It took one day for Caroline Forbes to come to the ultimate decision. Leave Mystic Falls. Forever. What happens after 150 years have passed? And everything and everyone is gone? Or are they? What happened in Mystic Falls, stays in Mystic Falls. At least that's what she hoped would happen. Until Damon crosses her path, at the worst possible time.

Disclamer: I do not own the thrilling series of Vampire Diaries. Easy as that.

Chapter One

It took an instant for the idea to dig itself into her head.

A week to come to a decision.

Another week to make it happen.

And an eternity to discover what her choice would bring.

In reality, finding reasons to go through with her plan was the easiest part of it all. Being killed and turned into a vampire by one of your best friend's doppelganger. Discovering that one of your ex boyfriends was a vampire as well and the entire time only using you for blood and sex, and then making you forget about it with freaky vampire powers. Finding that one of your best friends is dating yet another vampire that happened to also be the brother of said ex, and atop of that your other best friend is a witch that now happens to hate your guts isn't enough, add the appearance of werewolves and vampire hunters within the town. Yeah and that was only the first reasons.

What had happened that fate deciding day had been the last betrayal for her. Being disowned by the one person you thought would always stick by your side no matter what had broken the last of the beams keeping her dead heart together. When her mother refused to look at her, refused to accept her for what she now was, she could not handle staying there any longer. It didn't matter that Damon would be compelling her into forgetting the events that had occurred, the only reason she had stayed before was for the very hope that her mother would keep her safe, would hopefully accept her because she was her mother for Pete's sake!

Now that that closure was gone, she had no reason to stay. In fact, she had every reason to do the exact opposite. So she did. She stayed with the Salvatore brothers the days that it took her mother to get rid of the vervain and be compelled, all the while staying clear of her mother.

She didn't want a reason to change her mind now.

So when her mother's memories were compelled and she was returned home, she waited a few days, finished arranging her thoughts and plans, being the perfectionanist she was, before packing a single suitcase and leaving the town. . . forever.

She didn't tell anyone, and she had left her mother neatly compelled into believing this was the best for her.

She didn't want to take the chance of being followed by said Katherine, so she thought it best to leave to a whole different continent. She had gathered all that had been in her college fund(there would be no other need for that now anyway), and headed for Europe. Katherine would surely not follow, she seemed to concerned with her little love triangle with Stefan and Elena to really make her radar, and if she did kill Matt. . . Caroline closed her eyes at the thought. Well, it wasn't like she would ever see him again right?

She would never see any of them again. . . it was better this way. Then if she was still alive decades from now, forever young while everyone aged around her, she would not have to feel the stabbing pain of their deaths. This way she could block it all, letting time slip by and leaving all those feelings behind.

She would find her own way, hone her own skills, and become her own vampire.

She would grow the wings she never grew as a human.

It was all for the better. . . right?

That's what she had thought.

Now she wasn't so sure.

She had been running for awhile now, and whoever was on her tail was not letting up. They had determination all right. She would give him credit on who he decided to send after her.

With a frustrated sigh and a roll of her blue eyes, she stopped in her tracks and turned around, sensing the oncoming threat and in a blink of an eye, caught them by the throat and pushed them against one of the surrounding trees. She was surprised to find the sight of a girl, that seemed younger than her when she had been turned. She had straight blond hair and dark blue eyes.

She had run away for a reason, she had no intention of killing vampires she had no quarrels with. She did not want to kill a pawn in an even bigger battle. It just didn't seem right to her, unfair even. Most of the vampires sent after her were newly turned, with only a few years of unlife and maybe a little training, compared to the century and a half she had on them. So she would always run first, try to lose them so that she could avoid bloodshed, but when that failed, she had no choice.

This however, was new. Never before had he sent someone so young after her. . . what was he up to?

She narrowed her eyes at the sight of the young girl, feeling the veins pulsate around them as she made herself look threatening.

"Do you realize what you're getting yourself into little one?" she asked calmly.

Admirably, the vampire in her grasp was only mildly struggling, keeping a brave facade on her face.

"You can't kill me, and I can easy reach into my bag, retrieve a stake, and drive it into your heart, kill you, and let your body rot," she placed a sadistic smile on her face for good measure. Of course, she was bluffing. She had no stake, and she had no intention of taking this girl's life.

"I have to kill you. . ." the girl struggled out, her own small hands coming to try and create some room around the tightness around her throat.

"Why? Because someone told you too? Because someone cannot come find me and do it themselves? Perhaps he promised you something? I've heard that from a couple of others I've killed before. What's your reason?"

The girl threw her a particularly hard glare.

"Because I love him."

The answer threw her back, and she even lost her grip on the girl, who immediately took advantage of the fact and tore herself away from her, kicking her in the stomach and sending her flying backwards. She rolled before gaining back her footing and coming to a defensive crouch, watching the girl with caution.

"He didn't send me. . ." the girl continued, and Caroline was all ears now, "I came on my own. I'm tired of everything about him having to do with you. He will never truly love me until you're completely dead and gone. Since no one else could do that, I decided to do it on my own. . ."

Caroline could not believe what she was hearing. This was definitely new.

"You know you can't kill me. . . you know I can easily kill you. Why don't you just leave? I'll even let you go. You should know how pointless this is. And so does he. Just turn around and leave. Go back to him. If you do something drastic, I can't promise I will give you this offer a second time."

She saw her visibly stiffen, clenching her fists tightly to her side.

"No. I can't. If I go back and leave you alive, I will never be satisfied. Leaving you alive would be worse than dying. I could never live with myself. And worse yet, he wouldn't be able to live with himself."

Obviously, this girl's life revolved around that son-of-a-bitch. He had probably fed her countless of those lies he was so good at creating.

"Is that how it will be then?"

She stood up, her face hard as she stared ahead of her. For a second the younger vampire's face faltered, and her eyes darted to the side in a nervous matter. Perhaps, she was changing her mind, at least that's what she was hoping was happening.

"I. . ."

Caroline sighed, pitying the vampire standing not so far from her. She closed her eyes and turned around.

"Just go dear, this is no place for you."

And she began walking, leaving herself defenseless but senses alert to her surroundings. That's how she knew the young girl had hesitated before lunging on her retreating figure. She had been ready to turn and dodge the attack when she heard another figure's movements intercept her attacker, and throw her off to the side. Caroline turned around sharply to see who it was, and froze at the sight.

She completely ignored the young vampire girl's escaping form as her eyes narrowed on the body before her. A body that she had never really forgotten, but who she had hoped she had buried along with the rest of her past. The body of the very same person that had used her for his own selfish purposes and so much more.

"Well well well, if it isn't Damon Salvatore."

He gave her his famous smirk.

"And if it isn't the deserter. Its nice to know you still remember my name, Ms. Forbes."

And boy, did she hate the sound of his voice.

Author's Thoughts: Okay well this little idea for a story popped into my head, and I would really appreciate some feedback on what you think of the idea. Does it look promising? Interesting? Unoriginal? Lame? Stupid? I really love Caroline's developing character and I though the idea of her turning into a vampire opened up so many doors to what we can do with her... and a certain other sexy vampire by the name of Damon Salvatore. Wink wink. At first I really liked the idea of her being with Stefan because they've also had some very cute moments and bonding times that opened up certain doors in my head. So I'm not sure if I will add a little of Stefan in here or wait and write a separate story for the two. I really don't wanna make too many stories at one time or I will take forever to finish them. So what do you guys think? Its a whole new world.
