1234 London
Raindrops fell silently down the window sill, as she watched the world go by. She could see below her a bustling little town. Women were holding onto their children, as they weaved their way through the market place. She saw merchants attempting to sell there recently gathered trinkets stalls filled with colourful fruits and vegetables.
She'd love to be down there right now, walking among them, tasting the delicious array of fruits.
But no she can't.
He locked her in a TOWER.
He had caught up to her this time, while she was having dinner with bonnie and April at a local restaurant, in London.
She'd felt him before she could see him. A shiver had run down her spine. She had cursed then for being so stupid.
Bonnie had instantly started chanting, what Caroline had assumed were protection spells, but it was too late, he was already in the restaurant.
She had turned to him, he had on grey slacks and a cream coloured shit, with the top two buttons exposing his delectable chest, topped off with his signature smirk.
Why does he always have to look so sexy...? She thought
No, Caroline not sexy… she countered
Your right sexy is such an understatement… she re countered
Damn…
She glanced around the restaurant, to find all exists blocked by his henchmen.
She looked hopefully to Bonnie, who shook her head in defeat.
Caroline tapped her head twice as a sign for bonnie to link with her mind.
"Bon, you have to run, he can't find out about your powers"
"Care, I'm not leaving you here….."
"Oh yes you are, April is human, if the spirits find out you put the life of a human at risk to save me, they'll punish you"
"I don't care, Caroline"
"Well I do, don't you get it Bon, and you're not supposed to protect me this time. I need you to run. That's why your magic's not working right now"
"But Care…"
"No... Go. Run... I'll only be able to hold him off for so long."
"No Care, I can't leave you behind"
"Listen to me Bon, I'll be okay, he won't hurt me, remember. Okay now listen to me. I want you to get into the proprietors mind and find the secret exit, there's always one, then I want you to run as fast as you can and get the hell out of here. I'll distract him. I'll distract him. I'll let you know when I escape this time"
"Oh and Bon, if you don't hear anything for six months. Sent TH E boys"
"I love you, Care"
"I love you, too Bon"
"Now go, get out of here and take April"
The mind link ended.
Bonnie looked to her friend and noticed a singular tear fall down her cheek, before she saw the familiar cheeky grin; her friend got only got when she had a brilliant idea come to mind.
Bonnie couldn't help but smile. She knew it was now or never. Because knowing Caroline. Shit was definatly about to hit the fan.
She got up, turned to April.
"It's time to go" she whispered.
"Let's go" April whispered back to her.
April got up and watched as her friend walked over to the proprietor of the establishment, closed her eyes, re opened them and signalled to Caroline. April walked over to her friend.
Then bonnie walked her to the bathrooms, they went into the women's. They had just exited the secret passageway when the commotion from the restaurant finally reached their ears.
Bonnie turned her head to see the restaurant.
It was up in flames, she saw Caroline up on the roof dancing, with four of the henchmen attempting to surround her.
Those henchmen don't stand a chance she thought to herself.
But against Klaus, not so much.
April Dragged Bonnie down the street, she knew if they didn't get away Caroline would blame herself.
That was the last time Caroline had seen her two friends, that was three months ago, right before he had locked her in a TOWER.
He'd only come to see her twice.
One about a month after locking her in here. He had wanted to know who she was with.
"Oh just some human and a witch that owed her a favour" she had lied
He hadn't believed her of course, but he couldn't do anything about it.
The second time he had come to see her, she had woken up to see him sleeping in the sitting chair that had been facing her bed, she assumed he had been watching her sleep.
When he woke up he found she had placed a blanket over him. She had been in the bathroom. When she came out he was gone.
That was 1 moth ago.
Now she was bored and angry.
Frustrated she banged her fist against the wall of the tower as hard as she could, she knew she couldn't break it Klaus's beloved witch made sure of that. She felt the tower shake in protest.
She heard chuckling coming from outside. She looked outside.
"Rapunzel, Rapunzel, let down your golden hair"
She heard, looking down she gave a squeal of delight.
"Damon Salvatore, what are you doing here?" she asked jumping up and down in excitement.
"Well, Rapunzel, Bonnie sent us about a month ago, and we only just found you, sorry?" he asked with a shrug of his shoulders
"Well I guess I can find it in me to forgive you," she giggled "is Stefan with you?"
"Uh yeah he's in control off the getaway vehicle" he answered "now how do we get you down" he asked placing a hand on his chin. "Wait I got it" he said running backwards away from the tower. He stopped about 2 kilometres away. "Hang on Rapunzel" he yelled before charging off towards the tower.
"Damon noooo….." she felt the impact of the tower shaking when he hit it full speed.
"Well that was a stupid plan, the towers reinforced with magic." She stated matter of factly.
"Ah excuse me. There is no such thing as a stupid plan, just poorly executed awesome ones" he said rubbing his now injured shoulder.
"Brother, you forgot the vial Bonnie gave us." Stefan said walking towards his brother
"Vial?"
"You really don't listen do you?" Stefan said walking backwards again, and taking aim at the tower.
"Stand back Care" he yelled, he through the vial at the building and watched as a veil of clear started shimmering and then broke into tiny little shards of glass.
He stood back and admired his handy work, only to be tackled to the floor by an unseen force.
"Steffi I missed you" Caroline said hugging her best friend.
"I missed you to girl"
"Ah hey what about me, I hurt my shoulder trying to save the beloved Rapunzel"
"Ooh you I love you Damon" she said as she raced over to embrace her old friend
"And stop calling me Rapunzel"
"Yeah that bitch had nothing on you..." a familiar voice said to her.
"Matt is that you?" she asked with her back turned to him. She turned around expectantly. Squealing when she saw him. Racing over to him and grabbing him for a bear hug.
"I haven't seen you in like….."
"321 years" he recited
"Oh come on people we don't have time to loiter. Let's get out of here" Damon yelled heading towards the horse and carriage they had prepared for their getaway.
"Yes, lets" Caroline said placing her arms around Stefan and Matts shoulders.
