After Caroline treated Damon to breakfast, Damon did the same. He brought her to the grill where he told her to have something with lots of protein and sugar to help her regain her strength. Over breakfast Caroline asked all about him being a vampire. She asked about his family and he told her that he and his brother had returned to mystic falls. She found out that Stefan was his brother and that he had come back for Elena. Damon stole a piece of toast from her plate, Caroline was beyond confused.

"So if you are a vampire why are you eating my toast?"

"As long as I keep a healthy amount of blood in my system, my body work pretty normally."

"And how do you walk in the sun light"

"Both Stefan and I have rings that allow us to walk in the sun; they were made by a witch we knew back in 1864." Damon didn't really understand why he felt like he could tell her everything and trust that she wouldn't go around telling the world his secret. There was something inside Damon, and he knew that this bond he had with Caroline was very similar to one he had back in 1864. For some reason Caroline made him forget all about why he himself had returned to Mystic Falls, for some reason she made him forget about Katherine."

"So if both you and your brother are vampires, is it like something you are born with or is it like in Twilight where you have to turn me?"

"Well neither really, but I don't think we have time for that story just yet. I do have to get you to school at some point." Caroline finished her eggs and Damon drove her to school.

As Caroline stepped out of Damon's car he pulled her back for a kiss. Elena and Bonnie stood staring at them. Caroline had the biggest grin on her face as she approached the two friends she had known since grade school.

"Who's the hotty?" Bonnie asked.

"That would be Stefan's older, much more mature brother." Caroline made sure to emphasize on the older part.

"Stefan has a brother?" Elena asked.

"Oh, he didn't tell you?" If Stefan hadn't told Elena about his brother, Caroline was pretty sure that she didn't tell her about the whole vampire thing.

"No, that's weird we talked about a lot of things but he never mentioned a brother." Elena was thinking out loud and neither Bonnie nor Caroline really knew what to tell her.

"Don't worry Elena, I'm sure he'll tell you everything soon, Stefan Salvatore is full of secrets." Caroline was acting cocky, but it felt good to know more than Elena for once.

"What is that supposed to mean, Caroline?" Elena was worried you could tell by her tone, she was not impressed that she was being left out.

"Elena, calm down I'm just fooling around, I'm sure he will tell you everything, be patient, love takes time." Caroline was just being Caroline now and making sure no one's feelings got hurt, but you could tell Elena was not impressed. Bonnie was feeling a little uncomfortable, she hated when the girls started to fight, "so where did you meet Damon anyways?"
"Oh, we met at the grill after you left, and he offered me a walk home, and then one thing lead to another, and yeah, I'm really happy, I think we are kinda together but I'm not really sure. I'm rambling, please someone shut me up." Bonnie let out a small giggle, but Elena just sat there running over what Caroline had said earlier wondering why Stefan wasn't telling her the truth. "We should probably get to class, you know how Tanner gets when we are late" said Bonnie, the girls walked together to class, Caroline was still rambling on about Damon and Elena was still over analysing the whole situation.

Fifth period ended and Caroline was headed to her locker, waiting there for her was Damon. He already had her backpack and coat out of her locker, "how did you get into my locker?" Caroline looked down at the lock and it looked perfectly normal, not broken or anything.
"Special talents" Damon retorted. Damon bent down and kissed her gently. Midway through the kiss Caroline felt a tap on the shoulder; she turned around to see Elena standing there. "Caroline can we talk?"
"Um, sure, give me a second Damon, how about I meet you in the car" Damon nodded in approval and flashed his dark grin at Elena.
"What's up?" Caroline couldn't help fallow Damon out the door with her eyes.

"What the hell did you mean earlier, with the whole 'Stefan Salvatore has lots of secrets'? Is that supposed to like scare me off so you can have both of them. What is your problem Caroline?" Elena wasn't one to lose her temper but something in her had snapped.

"Elena, calm down I didn't mean to make you upset or scare you, it's nothing bad, well I guess it could but a kink in the whole lovey dovey stuff, but I can't tell you, it's not my place to tell you. When he is ready you will know."

Elena didn't know how to react so she just turned around and walked away. "Elena, wait!" Caroline chased after her, "and when you find out I'm here for you." Caroline realised that she probably confused Elena more than she already was.

Caroline got into Damon's car, and he could tell that she was not happy-go-lucky-Caroline like before. "What's on your mind?" Damon asked with concern.

"I kinda scared Elena by saying that Stefan was hiding secrets from her, it was stupid of me and I should have just kept my mouth shut. But you would think that he would have told her about the whole vampire thing or at least about the whole having a brother thing but..."

"Caroline, calm down, it's okay. It's not something we really go around advertising, and the way I told you was not really idealistic, and I'm not very good at controlling myself. Stefan has more control he is probably waiting for the right time to tell her." Caroline, was all most in tears, this was all too much for her, she never expected to have these feeling and to be fighting with her best friend. She was confused about so much, but happy about so many other things, she really couldn't handle it anymore.

"But why wouldn't he tell her he had a brother? What so wrong about having a brother" Caroline had so many questions that were unanswered and she didn't know how to ask them.

"It's just that Stefan and I don't really get along, we have a long history of fighting over stupid things, and he probably didn't want to mention all the drama we have, being alive for over a century comes with a lot of baggage."

"Damon, I'm going to be honest with you," Caroline was crying now, it was just too overwhelming "I have a lot of questions, and the only way this thing we have is going to work is if you answer them all, I need you to trust me, I need you to explain all these things." Damon whipped away her tears and kissed her lightly on the cheek.

"I want to be honest with you and I want to tell you everything, but I just want you to know that it's going to take time because a hundred years of stories takes a long time to tell. I really like you Caroline, and I want this to work, so just give me time."

"Okay"

Later that night Damon took Caroline out to dinner, she asked him about his first love. It wasn't an easy story to tell but it answered a lot of Caroline's questions. Damon told her about Katherine the young girl who came to live with the Salvatore's in the 1800's. He told her about how she played games with both Stefan and himself, and how she herself was a vampire. Katherine turned Stefan and Damon against each other and compelled them to love her. Katherine was responsible for turning Damon and Stefan into vampires. And Katherine was the reason that Damon returned to Mystic Falls. He told her that under the old church was a tomb where Katherine and about 20 other vampires were, he explained that a very powerful witch had locked that tomb. Damon had spent his whole life trying to forget about Katherine and he thought the only way he truly could was to get into that tomb and kill her once and for all, but now that he had Caroline, he didn't need Katherine, he was done with her forever.
