Two months was all it took, two months after Graduation was all it took for Caroline's life to change completely! For her whole world to be turned upside down leaving her alone!

First to leave was the last of the originals Rebekah, she left taking Matt with her. No goodbye hug nothing, one day he was there playing pool in the Grill, the next he was gone a note left in his place. They had gone to visit Europe for a while before Matt goes college, never to been seen or heard from again.

Next it was Stefan; Caroline was convinced Stefan was not acting Stefan-like but no one believed her she was basically screamed at by Elena and Damon for being stupid and she was left to find him all on her own.

Flashback:

One day Caroline was sat in the Boarding House having a drink with Damon and Elena. After having this conversation many times Elena and Damon finally had enough.

"Caroline he's my brother he's just the usual brooding brother I know and hate, he's just upset Elena chose me." Damon said anger laced in his tone whilst Elena just shot him a glare.

"What Damon is trying to say is that he's known his brother all his160 something years of life and if something was wrong with him he would know it." Elena replied softly trying to calm the situation down the look in Damon's eye of pure rage meant this was not the time to get him angry.

But Caroline had had enough something was seriously wrong and everyone was blind to see it. Did they not want to help him? Did they ever love him enough to know when something's wrong? These questions were burning through her mind and she had to get someone to listen. No more Miss Nice Mystic Fall it was time for Miss Bitch Till People Listen. So she put her game face on and began to speak.

"You might be his brother but you're too wrapped up in Elena land to know that something's seriously wrong. Last week I saw him drink from a girl at the Grill and still leave her breathing! Stefan's never been able to do that without becoming a ripper. Both of you need to get out of each other's arses and look around, Stefan isn't Stefan!" Caroline said getting louder and louder until she was practically screaming whilst waving her hands to try and get her point across. That was all it took for Damon to flip.

"Look Barbie he's my brother if you think something's wrong go talk to him about it! Me and Elena are happy and just because you're jealous you don't have to keep trying to destroy what we have! If Stefan is finally drinking from the vein and not killing we should be happy not trying to find out why!" Damon shouted venom shown through each word. They were now standing face to face, Caroline had her arms crossed and Damon's hands were at his sides balled into fits.

Caroline could see the rage clearly through his eye but she was just as determined she would stay strong and not back down! Damon would not make her cry she would hold back the tears till later. Stefan needed help and she was going to give it to him. Damon just stared at her he could see that emotions crossing her face, rage, pain, anger, hurt and anger again but he was happy he'd finally hit the were it hurt the most her insecurities.

Elena just sat there looking between the two she could see the all the emotions flashing through their face but she didn't know what to do, she could see neither was going to back down and Damon was about to seriously hurt Caroline, so she turned spoke directly the Caroline. "Caroline please just leave Stefan alone he's fine, I promise you. Just relax whilst we can ok? Go home and I'll call you tomorrow okay?" Elena said as softly as she could, trying not making the situation any worse.

Caroline reluctantly removed her gaze from Damon and uncrossed her arms whilst turning to face Elena her gazing softening slightly. "Something's wrong I don't know what, but there's something wrong and I'm going to prove it." With that Caroline turned and left the Boarding House on a mission to help Stefan.

End Of Flashback!

That night Caroline went down to the falls and pulled Stefan out, he was so weak he killed the first person he saw. Later that night when Stefan was fully fed and back to full health he went to the Boarding House packed up his things and left. He finally stuck to the promise he made to Damon and left him and Elena to be happy whilst he set off to find himself once again with the doppelgangers. Silas left that night too, once he realised his cover was blown and Bonnie was dead he left and everyone was finally safe for now.

Shortly after that Damon, Elena and Jeremy left to California. So Jeremy could go back to school and Elena could control he bloodlust before heading off to college to study English hoping to become a writer. Elena came over to see Caroline the night before she left to apologising for not believing her and say a proper goodbye.

So Caroline was left alone with only her mum for company. Tyler had not returned at first Caroline thought he hadn't heard he was free but Matt had spoken to him and told he could return but he just refused saying he wasn't ready. Caroline knew it was probably for the best she shouldn't have to wait forever but that didn't make it hurt any less. Bonnie was still on the other side working with the witch over there on a new plan to kill Silas and a way to return so she could reset the balance.

So after two months everything had changed and Caroline was the left with just her mum for company but that was pretty crap company anyway. But that all changed day later on November 5th that was the night when Caroline lost her mother, however hope was given as on that very day she was left with a new member of the family, someone new to protect, someone she would not let down; 6 month old Luna. That was the day she began to run and never look back.
