Set in an alternate universe everything is the same except Caroline is still human. Bonnie is still a witch though she dropped out and moved the grief of Jeremy's death being too much. Tyler did bite her and Klaus saved her from the bite with his blood being the only 'cure'. Klaus and Caroline developed a physical relationship keeping it a secret though after the day he went to New Orleans it ended.
The stench of the failure in the air forced the willowy blonde to contemplate the many means of her own destruction. Enveloped in darkness she giggled nervously to herself. How often she or someone else in danger of losing themselves? The last strand tying her to the fading memories of her childhood was fraying under the weight of not just the last few months but the last year of her life. How much more of herself would perish before the insatiable thirst of this world would be quenched? Frustrated even more as each step seemed to plunge her deeper into the darkness. Her hands fumbled in her pocket as she dug her phone out, the light from the display gave her just enough security to ease some of her uneasiness.
She was a smart girl what had possessed her to take a walk at this ungodly hour. Three a.m. was a time to sleep not this whatever she was doing. He had made it clear she was nothing to him but a warm body to absently vanish in at night. She had agreed to this arrangement hadn't she? A shiver ran down her spine at the thought of his lips his touch…his words. Yes she had thought it reasonable she knew so few people here who could effect her like he had and he had been like coming up for air after drowning for the nineteen years of her life. Yes she had agreed to every condition of their arrangement.
But he wasn't there tonight was he? That morning he had in no uncertain words told her to get dressed and go he had things to do. Those words had shattered the normalcy she had built around their embraces. She hadn't exactly been innocent she reminded herself she had used him to rid herself of her pain. She had been the one to say I love you in the heat of passion. She broke the rules both his and her own. Now as she wondered the streets circling back to where she lived with her mother. She could blame no one but herself. She had only a few weeks to come to conclusion. Motherhood...the shackles of those words encased her.
"Stupid stupid stupid… so much for too smart to be seduced" She had been mumbling those very words absently to herself since she had found out. Scrabbling with her key she still hadn't come to terms with those two pink lines. Taunting her while she had waited for the twenty other test she had taken. Each confirming what she had already known. Every choice every path was in shambles much like her psyche. Alone and terrified she stepped into the embrace of her room. Alone. She was alone. She could tell him and what affirm that he didn't want anything to do with the baby? No she would wait until she knew what she would do next. Abortion had ceased being an option the moment the steady melody of the heart beat had filled the room.
Could she become a mother? Nineteen she was nineteen what could she give this child? There was adoption but could she knowingly care love this child and hand it over to a family she knew so little about not knowing what this baby was? Not knowing how she had even been able to get pregnant with his baby. If it even was a baby. She would have to tell someone soon. She would have to decide soon. Stretching out on the soft cotton comforter draped over her bed her hands trailed to her still flat stomach images of him; his passion vigor alternating in her mind. She didn't allow herself to think of a life with him and their baby. Alone in this room she could feel the sensation of his hands, the impression his body had left on her. Unconsciously he was single handedly haunting her. Her naivety wished for nothing more but to be enveloped in his arms. Eyes closed and sleep slowly coming she let her thoughts carry her off.
Caroline loved the first few minutes after you wake up when your memory fades you and everything is possible, however today she would not be receiving those first few moments. It had been two weeks since she had had any close physical involvement with any vampires. Rebecca she assumed was off with Klaus gallivanting around New Orleans, Stefan and Damon had been trying to torture the humanity back into Elena. The groggy blonde forced herself to drag herself, clad in the black tank top and yoga pants from the night before, to the door surprised at the doppelgänger in front of her. Crossing her arms she fumed at the gal of her once best friend. Who threatens to brake someone's neck, steals their prom dress and then comes to say hello at seven in the morning? Her anger mixed with the sheer fact that Elena should be deep into the sea of pain the Salvatores had planned for her peaked the blonde's interest.
"Elena...What do you want?"
"Nope try again because that doppelgänger is completely irredeemable Always copying content with left overs. " Smirking Katherine took a step closer to the entrance of the house pushing past Caroline. "I just love this house it's just so common with its small town feel, just like you. It just makes me want to.." The end of her sentence trailing off as she walked around the room examining the pictures and art in the hall of the house.
"Katherine?" Slowly calculating her chances of escape Caroline was not liking her odds. So many vampires had been let into this once safe home she shared with her Mother. Frowning she tried to keep things civil. "What do I owe this unwelcome visit?"
Faster thank Caroline's eye could detect Katherine was a mere breath away reaching up Katherine grabbed her by the neck slamming her into the wall. The portrait of a young Caroline in a pink tutu crashed to the ground glass scattering across the floor. "That's not nice Caroline. It hurts my feelings when anyone isn't nice."
Flinging her back down Katherine leaned against a door frame smirking at Caroline trying to right herself backing further from Katherine. The human blonde's hand arms and left leg scratched from glass and landing. Katherine pushed off the wall stalking the injured girl. "You know I never saw what interested Klaus in you, no matter he won't be anywhere near Mystic Falls anytime soon." Kneeling close to the panicking human girl Katherine's face went blank. "You know typically I would just compel you but you take vervain don't you? Spoil sport. I want you to give the Salvatores a message for me. I got rid of Klaus for them and they owe me."
Cautiously Caroline looked up at Katherine squaring her shoulders. "What do you want?" Her voice slightly uneasy.
"What do all girls want Caroline?" Shrugging the brunette speaks again, "guess you being blonde must live up to the stereotype being dumb and all. I want them to leave me alone. No searching me for the rest of their pathetic existence." Standing and walking to the door Katherine gave Caroline one last menacing smile." Because if they don't Caroline….I bet you would just be delicious."
Allowing herself to fall back in relief at Katherine's exit Caroline questioned her safety as well as her mother's in this house. Unsure of the amount of time that had passed finally Caroline gathered her strength. It took minutes to clean the mess her assault had created finally after changing into a light pair of skinny jeans and crème top Caroline observed herself turning this way and that.
With just a simple glance you wouldn't couldn't tell that she was carrying some mythical baby. Too scared to ask to find anything about her pregnancy out. Worrying she stoked her stomach she felt fine but she had been thrown around like a rag doll. So far she was never nauseas never tired never weak. She felt stronger scared but defiantly stronger. She surveyed the scraped on her body that had all but faded away in just an hour. She knew she really needed to tell someone. Now even more than before she needed to tell someone.
What do you all think should I continue?
