The Odds Are Not in Our Favor
Chapter One
*Author's Note*
Hello lovelies! If you're taking the time to read this, thank you very much! :) This is my first story ever, so I'm a bit nervous, but hopefully along the way I will improve in my writing :) Anyways, this was more of a spur of the moment idea to take a very very loosely based version of The Hunger Games and apply it to The Vampire Diaries characters we all know and love. I hope you all enjoy what I have so far, although in this chapter nothing is really established yet. I guess for now Stelena and Forwood are together, but you never know what might happen, since Klaroline is my OTP and I ship both Stelena and Delena.. I guess I'll come to those bridges later on :) Also, this is meant to be before 3x14, so nobody knows what Esther's intentions are just yet..I'm rambling on, so anyways enjoy! :)
Caroline woke up to find everything seemingly normal. The sun shone through her window like it did every morning, the birds singing to each other, the occasional person walking past her house during their routinely morning walk. After delaying getting out of bed for several minutes, she goes downstairs and similar to every day; her mother is already at work. Caroline checks her messages and just like always, she already has texts from both Bonnie and Elena asking her if she wants to meet up later. Elena mentions that they're all at Stefan's and Damon's for the day, trying to act like normal teenagers because for once there's no drama to be had. Caroline smiles, grateful that they're trying to all go one day without thinking about killing Klaus, or about Esther, or anything else. After changing and making herself look presentable, Caroline leaves her house, on her way to the Salvatore's.
Caroline arrives fifteen minutes later, and enters, knowing that she's already been invited in before. She walks in and immediately is greeted by Elena.
"Caroline! I'd thought you'd never come! Everyone's in the other room follow me," Elena says happily, and Caroline smiles, loving that for once Elena doesn't seemed stressed or serious.
As they walk into the room, everyone greets her. Elena goes to sit in between the Salvatore's on the couch, Stefan putting his arm around her and grinning, while Damon holds a glass of liquor in his hand, looking away from them. He's no doubt been drinking since early morning, she thinks. Bonnie's on the other couch, and she greets her. Tyler does the same; they're both silently thanking Caroline from saving them from the love-triangle awkwardness. Tyler gets up and kisses Caroline sweetly, and takes her hand and brings her with him onto the couch to sit down, Caroline in between him and Bonnie.
After several hours of just talking and laughing and acting like normal teenagers, Caroline decides it's time for her and Tyler to head off, wanting to spend some alone time with him. Everyone says their goodbyes, and Bonnie decides she'd better go as well. While the three of them are just about to open the door, suddenly Caroline grabs for head and screams. Before anyone can react they're all grabbing their heads and are collapsing to the ground, all writhing in pain, even Elena and Bonnie. It feels like her head is exploding. It's almost as if something is taking 50 knifes to her head. Caroline doesn't even have time to make sure anyone is okay before she passes out and everything goes black.
