Chapter 1

Caroline woke up lazily at the first ring of her alarm clock. It was summer, but she couldn't feel the enthusiasm like she always had. This year was different, she was alone. Bonnie was spending her summer with her mom; well that was what Jeremy said. Elena was enjoying her summer with Damon, even though she wasn't completely agree with her choice, but Caroline was still happy for her best friend. Matt was on his road trip with Rebekah, and most of all Stefan was nowhere to be found. Caroline knew that Elena choice had affected him so much, but he could have said goodbye at least to Caroline before vanishing to god knows where.

She was alone and she hated it, more than anything. But then there was something struck her mind. Tyler was here too. It had been few weeks since Tyler returned to Mystic Falls, she was the happiest girl at that time, she thought she had finally found her missing puzzle piece. But as the time went, she realized that there was still something missing inside her.

"I intend to be your last. However long it takes." Klaus's words were echoing in her head ever since that graduation night. She was aware that with Tyler here, she should not think about Klaus anymore, but Caroline could not help herself. It was not the first time she found herself in a deep thought about Klaus. As much as she wanted to stop thinking about him, Caroline always ended up wishing that he was still in Mystic Falls—with her.

Knock. Knock. Knock.

Her thoughts were suddenly interrupted by the knock on the front door. "Ugh who is that going be in this earlier morning." she muttered to herself and got out from her bed. As Caroline reached the front door, she was surprised by the figure outside her house. The brunette girl looked exactly like her friend Elena, except her long curly hair. "Katherine." she said in disbelieve. Katherine easily pushed the unlocked door and walked inside with her signature smirk framed her lips.

"Wait how could you? I didn't—"Caroline trailed off as she heard something else in that room, heartbeats. Her eyes widened in shock."You are…Human?"

"Well, thanks to your best friend, Elena. She shoved the cure into my mouth." Katherine growled."I need your blood so I can become a vampire again."

"You what?"Caroline scoffed."How on earth do you think I will give you my blood, Katherine? After everything you had done. You changed me for your own selfishness so you could sacrifice me to Klaus, and not to mention all the damages you had done to my friends!"

Caroline didn't give a single chance for her to speak. "You know what? I can kill you right here, right now, but I won't do that, guess why? Because you need to suffer for everything you have done this past five hundred years of your existence as vampire, and death will just make it too easy for you." Katherine stood up in front Caroline, clenching her teeth. If sight could kill, Caroline would be dead by now. She wanted to attack Caroline right there, but she kept telling herself to control all the angers; she was no longer her old self. Katherine Pierce was now vulnerable and killable.

As if she could read her mind, Caroline spoke, "Now get out of my house before I change my mind."

"How could she really think that I will help her?!" Caroline muttered to herself and turned off her car engine as she reached Tyler's house. She got out from her car and walked toward the house. "Ty—"she was about to call out for her boyfriend, but suddenly stopped by another voice, a girl voice, very much familiar to her. 'Hayley' she thought to herself, the last time she checked Hayley was out of Mystic Falls for good. 'What is she doing here now?' Caroline walked silently toward where the voice came from; it was from the room which was used by the mayor Lockwood once. Tyler was backing her, he was so serious with his conversation with Hayley on his phone until he didn't ever realize Caroline was already behind him.

"What are you saying, Hayley?" he asked.

"Katherine told me that the witches here want to put /him/ down. I'm just playing my part." Hayley said over the phone.

"Yeah—but what do you mean by its not Klaus's baby?"

Caroline frowned, 'what the hell are they talking about?' She could sense Hayley voice was a bit nervous. "It's not his—it's yours, Tyler." Hayley said. Caroline felt like the world had stopped, she wasn't completely sure what to do or how to react at that time. She could not feel the gravity holding her anymore. She couldn't feel anything but the pain in her chest. She had trusted him with everything she had, but this was what she got in return. She was angry, frustrated at the fact that she had been betrayed, that for this whole time Tyler was lying to her. Tears rolled down from her eyes.

Tyler didn't say anything for a moment; he gasped as he realized he was not completely alone. "Caroline?"he turned around, but there was something else on his face, shame.

"Caroline, I can—"but he was soon cut by Caroline, "No! Don't, Tyler. I'm not asking for any explanation." Her voice quavered. "You don't have to say anything." As much as she wanted to stop crying, her tears could not rolling. She couldn't be like this in front of him, letting him see how weak she was. "I have to go." She sobbed and turned around was ready to leave until she felt Tyler was holding her arm."Please, Caroline, I can explain. It was an—"again he was cut off abruptly her by her."I don't want to hurt you Tyler! Let go of me." He loosened his grip with hesitation and Caroline headed to her car with her vampire speed.

Caroline hadn't been doing anything but crying for the last two hours. Her whole life had been a lie, a disaster. For a while she thought that being vampire meant a new beginning for her, but she just realized it was the continuity of misery. She hated these feelings at the moment, and being an immortal creature of the nights just made it even worse.

"Ugh! Why they are not picking up their phones!" she muttered under her heavy breath. Caroline had tried to call Elena and Bonnie for the thousands time but none of them ever picked up their phones. As she took a deep breath, she just realized that it was bigger than Tyler betrayed her. '…the witches here want to put /him/ down. I'm just playing my part.' She recalled back what Hayley said over the phone with Tyler.

They are planning something against Klaus. Her mind told her and all of sudden she felt fear got into her nerves. She needed to tell him the truth, she needed to save him. She ran fingers through her phone screen, dialing Klaus's number. She got a dial tone over and over, but never an answer."Oh come on. Pick it up, Klaus."

T-H-E-V-A-M-P-I-R-E-D-I-A-R-I-E-S

After several times of trying and failing to contact Klaus, Caroline decided to tell Rebekah about this. She knew that even though Rebekah hated her brother more than anything else, Rebekah still cared about him, and that was her only hope. She turned off her car engine and got out from the car. Caroline headed to the huge house in front of her. She had checked with the grill if Matt had come to work today and thank fully they said yes, which meant Rebekah would be here too.

Just as she was about to enter the house, she was stopped by a familiar figure. "Katherine." she said flatly, "don't you see I'm a little occupied here? I have no time for your stupid mumblings." Caroline walked passed her.

"Well, let me guess, isn't it about your werewolf boyfriend and his werewolf friend, Hayley?"

Caroline stopped and turned back at her, frowning.

"Wonder how did I know, sweetheart?" Katherine smirked."Actually it was my idea—not with the baby part actually." she rolled her eyes, "but with dragging Klaus into this." Her smirk grew wider.

Caroline felt a sudden hatred boiled inside of her. Was it because Katherine knew that Tyler cheated on her with Hayley or was it because she was behind the plan of getting Klaus killed? Caroline couldn't really figured out her feelings, but she knew that Katherine just made it worse.

"I needed my freedom, and I didn't think Klaus would give—"Caroline cut her off before she could even finish her statement."Enough, Katherine!" her eyes turned into scarlet, veins ensnaring her face. Her teeth lengthened up to fangs. Katherine would be dead in a blink, if there wasn't someone stepped in front of Caroline and snapped her neck.

Katherine gasped and took a step backward as she saw Caroline lied lifelessly on the ground. She looked up at the man who just saved her life,"Elijah."

Rebekah burst out of her house, "What's going on here?"
