"Are you sure you can do this by yourself?" Bonnie said from over the phone.
Caroline thought of everything that was at risk if they didn't get Elena's humanity back and fast before she did any more stuff that she would later regret and quickly replied "Yes, I've got this Bonnie. Get ready" and Caroline quickly made her way to the Salvatore's mansion.
She didn't bother knocking since they never locked their door due to the whole Vampire thing and went into the main room. She saw Elena feeding on an innocent girl from school and quickly knocked her away to heal and compel the girl to forget everything and to go home.
Elena wiped the blood from her mouth and said "Why does everyone always spoil my fun" and pushed past Caroline headed for the door.
"This isn't you, Elena" she said and grabbed her arm to turn her around. Elena grabbed a stake from inside her jacket pocket and lunged it forward into Caroline's stomach. Caroline yelled in annoyance and pulled it free just as Elena flashed away. She flashed after her and grabbed her by the head, slamming it into a tree until she blacked out and quickly picked her up and flashed to Bonnies.
Just as she started to struggle against her hold she was through Bonnie's threshold. Bonnie immediately started to chant the spell that would set things right. The candles started to grow and Bonnies chanting grew louder, Caroline could feel something in the pit of her stomach and knew something wasn't right.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" Elena yelled out in pain holding her stomach and managed to flash to Bonnie, Caroline immediately flashed to Bonnie's side and dragged Elena back urging Bonnie to carry on with her spell. Bonnie closed her eyes and started to chant much louder now, black veins appearing over her arms and face.
Caroline immediately knew something wasn't right, just as she was about to shout at Bonnie to stop she felt a burning pain all over her body and Elena and herself fell to the ground writhing in agony. She caught Elena's eyes with her own and she could see the old Elena, she looked afraid and she looked like she was battling a new pain inside herself other than the physical pain they were in now.
Caroline stretched her hand out and Elena locked it in hers desperately clinging on to her friend in a silent understanding. They were going to die, she could see it in Elena's eyes and she knew it too. She remembered all the times she was tortured and how different that was to this moment, she knew without a doubt that this would be their last moments on earth.
She thought about Matt, Stephan and even Damon and she hoped that they would live long, happy lives, she hoped Stephan would be ok without her and that he would be able to control his ripper side. She thought of her mom and hoped that she would be safe and she thought of Bonnie, she hoped that she would be able to forgive herself, she wasn't angry at Bonnie, she has done everything she could and has sacrificed so much to keep us all safe. She hoped that Bonnie will find peace and grow old and die in her bed as an old woman surrounded by family. She thought of Tyler and hoped that wherever he is that he will find love and live eternity in bliss because he deserved that too. She looked into Elena's eyes and they both exchanged a silent goodbye and squeezed each other's hands. Just as she was about to black out Klaus popped into her head, his cocky smile and his promises to show her the world. She let herself admit in that moment that there was a part of her that cared for him. She smiled to herself just as she closed her eyes thinking how she finally admitted it to herself just as death would take her.
She distantly heard birds singing and smiled to herself as the sun warmed her face. Caroline felt a rock hit her face as she turned over and instantly shot up, she remembered what happened with Bonnie and frantically looked around for Elena.
