A/N: Here's a longer update for you. I'm not so sure about this, but hopefully you guys like it. This chapter title is based on the song from The Jungle Book, specifically Selena Gomez's' version.

Also, comments would be really nice. The first chapter got a bunch of repeat hits, but only 2 comments. I know it was really short, but comments let me know if you guys are interested. So, comment if you like it, comment if you don't, let me know either way, please?

Caroline groans as she wakes up, the sun beating down on her through the windows. She sits up rubbing her neck, noticing she's in a car. She looks at the driver.

"Elena, what's going on?" She says groggily, rubbing the other side of her neck, dried crusted blood coming off on her hand.

"Not Elena." Katherine deadpans, and Caroline stares at her, eyes going wide as she remembers the events of last night. She backs up quickly, her back hitting the door. "There's no point in trying to escape. You don't even know where we are, and if you did, I doubt you could ever find your way back. Besides, you'd be safer with me than hitchhiking your way back home with some stranger."

"But you're a stranger! I don't know you! Who are you? What do you want from me?" Caroline shouts.

"Ugh! Can't you just pass out again?" Katherine says, annoyed with the girl already.

Caroline feels around for her phone.

"Looking for this?" Katherine asks in a nonchalant tone, holding up the Blackberry, keeping her left hand on the steering wheel. Caroline reaches for it quickly, but Katherine is faster, shoving the girl away at lightning speed. "Ok, here's the deal, blondie. You are now my-" she clicks her tongue, trying to think of the right word. "I don't want to say hostage, because I'm not holding you for ransom. Lets go with...walking meal." She says, thinking out loud. "I like it. Sounds like a happy meal. A human happy meal." She says, smiling sadistically at Caroline.

"You don't want to eat me, I probably taste horrible." Caroline says, trying to be persuasive.

"Oh, but I've already tasted you, and I must say, you are rather delicious." She says, glancing over at Caroline, then back at the empty road. "Don't be frightened. I intend on keeping you around for a while. I need you alive so that I can feed off of you. I can't go around killing people, it would only leave a trail, leading Klaus and the Salvatore's right to me." She says, chucking the phone right out the window.

"Hey!" Caroline protests. "That's my damn phone you just threw out!"

"Not to sound paranoid or anything, but I think they install some kind of locating device in those now, and that's one thing I could go without. Besides, you won't be needing it anymore."

Caroline sighs, and begins to pout, tears springing to her eyes.

"Please tell me you're not that addicted to texting." Katherine exaggerates.

"Don't hurt me. Please, just let me go. I'll do whatever you want, I promise. I'll tell the cops not to come after you, please? Just let me go." Caroline begs.

"Oh, sweetie. Begging will get you nowhere." She says in false remorse.

Caroline continues crying, as she looks around the car, trying to form a plan.

She shoves Katherine into her door. Katherine manages to do a single doughnut, tires screeching, the car coming to a complete stop in the opposite direction on the side of the road and gears shifting quickly. It all happens before Caroline can blink, and Katherine is on top of her in the passenger seat, forearm pressing down on the girls throat.

"OK, here's how this works. You can either be my living meal, or I can drain you dry right now and find a willing participant." She says, pressing harder on Caroline's throat.

"Alright, ok." Caroline chokes out. Katherine removes her arm from the girls throat.

"Try that again and I will not hesitate to kill you."

Caroline sits up quickly, rubbing her neck. Katherine hears the girls heart racing. She focuses and can actually hear the blood rushing through Caroline's veins. She grins as red veins gather around her eyes.

"Wha-what is that?" Caroline whispers in horror.

"It's lunch time." Katherine says before grabbing Caroline's head, exposing her neck, and clamping her teeth down. A bloodcurdling scream echos through the empty road.

"I've tried her cellphone a thousand times. Katherine must have ditched it." Elena says, pushing end on her phone. "Couldn't we just call the cops? I mean Caroline was technically kidnapped."

"And say what?" He asks, annoyed. "Oh, officer, my best friend was kidnapped by an evil vampire because we destroyed a moonstone?" He says in girlish imitating voice.

"Damon." Stefan says in a warning tone.

Elena sighs, knowing Damon is right.

"And even if we did call the cops they wouldn't be able to handle Katherine."

"It would help if we at least knew where we were going." Elena mumbles. "I mean do we even know where we're driving? It's like we're on a blind mission!"

"Then what do you suggest we do, Elena?" Damon drawls in his annoyed tone.

Before Elena can speak up Stefan cuts in saying, "Look, the best we can hope for right now, is that in her panic, Katherine manages to leave accidental clues. Or if Caroline realizes the situation, perhaps she'll catch on and do that..." Stefan finishes, hoping his words calmed Elenas' nerves.

When Elena seems to have accepted what Stefan said, she drops her back against the backseat, shoulders slumping. Stefan glances at his brother, and Damon just mouths, "Your girlfriend." as he keeps his attention on the road, inadvertently running over Carolines' cellphone.

They ride in silence for the rest of the day, Caroline holding a cloth to her neck, pouting.

It's completely dark out by the time they stop at a semi shady looking hotel. They wait in the car and Caroline becomes fidgety, wondering what will happen next.

"We're getting one hotel room." Katherine says, breaking the silence. "As I stated earlier, it would be foolish of you to try and run. But I will tie you up if I have to. Behave and I won't keep you on a tight leash. We're just two girls on a road trip. Understand?" She says. Caroline nods, but they continue sitting in the car.

The blonde becomes fidgety as she wonder's why they're still sitting in in the parking lot. She she turns her gaze to Katherine, the vampire is looking at her wearily.

"What?" Caroline asks self-consciously. When the vampire grins at her Caroline looks away nervously as she wrings their hands.

"Look at me." Katherine commands. Caroline hesitantly brings her gaze back to the vampire. "Good." She says with a smirk, pulling Carolines' gaze further into her control. "You will not try to escape." She says, the blondes' pupils shrinking and dilating.

"I won't try to escape..."

"You like being with me. You want to stay with me." Katherine says as she compels the girl.

"I want to stay with you." Caroline repeats mindlessly.

"There." Katherine says, grinning at Caroline. The blonde blinks and looks around confused before her eyes settle back on Katherine.

They get out of the car, and Katherine has Caroline walk in front of her into the office building. Katherine compels the guy at the desk into giving them a room for free.

"How come you've never used that mind control thing on me?" Caroline asks as they walk to their room.

"What makes you think I haven't?" Katherine asks, grinning at herself as she unlocks the door.

They enter the room while Caroline thinks, confused.

"Have you?"

"If I have, you wouldn't know it."

"But have you?" She questions again. Katherine gives her a warning glare, then goes to sit in the chair next to the bed. She picks up the outdated magazine from the nightstand. Caroline sits on the bed.

"I feel disgusting. I need to shower." The blonde whines.

"So do it." Katherine replies, annoyance and boredom seeping through her tone.

"But These are the only clothes I have. You could have at least let me pack some things."

"Well I'm sorry I didn't plan on kidnapping you ahead of time." She says sarcastically.

"I'm being serious here, Katherine! I can't keep wearing these same clothes!" She says, tugging at her shirt for emphasis. "That's disgusting!"

"Fine, we'll get some new ones tomorrow. Now shut up!"

They sit quietly for a few minutes. Caroline finds the atmosphere rather awkward so she turns on the tv. Nothing is on, but she leaves it on for the noise. She wonders how long it will take before anyone finds her. She remember Katherine saying earlier that Damon and Stefan would be after her. She wonders if anyone will ever find her, and if they do, will she still be alive? She sighs an shakes her head.

"Um... so uh...so why are...Damon and Stefan after you?" Caroline mumbles nervously, her back still to Katherine as she faces the television.

Katherine glares at the girls' back. "Because of you, you idiot." She says harshly annoyed. "Are you really that oblivious?"

"Oblivious to what?" Caroline asks confused, turning to look at the vampire.

"The Salvatore's are vampires."

"Stefan and Damon are vampires?" Caroline asks shocked.

"Wow, they really have left you in the dark. I suppose that's natural since you aren't necessarily a main character in their game."

Caroline frowns sadly, Katherine's words hitting home. Caroline was never number one to anyone. Katherine takes in the girls emotional change and smirks.

"I guess it wouldn't hurt to fill you in a little." Katherine states, sitting down the magazine. Caroline looks up at the vampire again. "Yes, Stefan and Damon are vampires. I turned them." She whispers conspiratorial, yet seemingly proud. "Quite some time ago... anyway Damon is madly in love with Elena; in case you happened to miss that too. So, since they are both in love with Elena and you are the best friend," She says, tapping Caroline's nose. "then they will undoubtedly do anything to keep Elena happy. Right now I suppose that getting you back, alive, would make her happy. So I am certain they're on their way to rescue you."

Caroline looks confused as she tries to process all of the new information. Damon is in love with Elena? Stefan and Damon are vampires? Damon is in love with Elena?

"Was that all too much for your simple mind?" Katherine asks teasingly.

Caroline frowns and changes the tv channel. Katherine chuckles and goes back to her magazine.

Caroline tries to get her mind off of everything and focuses on the tv. A McDonald's commercial comes on and all of a sudden she's reminded that she hasn't eaten all day, and she can't get her mind off her stomach. As if her stomach is sensing her thoughts, it growls. She looks over at Katherine, then down to her stomach.

"I'm hungry." She whispers.

"I know." Katherine says.

"You need me alive so that you can stay alive, and if I don't eat then I could die!" She says dramatically.

Katherine sighs an annoyed growl, slams the magazine down oh the desk, then zooms out, leaving the hotel door wide open. Caroline gets up, walking over to the open door in confusion. She leans against the door frame, sticks her head out, and looks down the hall to the left, then the right. Before she can process what's just happened Katherine blurs into the room, the gust of wind blowing Caroline's hair. Katherine drops an arm full of snacks onto the bed, then blurs back to the door, shoving Caroline out of the way before she closes and locks the door. She leans against the door, waiting for Caroline to react. The blond just looks at her, not knowing how to respond, so she just turns and goes through the trove of junk food on the bed.

Caroline picks up a bottle of soda and reads the label. "I don't like root beer." She says, then looks up at Katherine. The vampire just rolls her eyes and takes off her shirt on the way to the bathroom. The bathroom door closes and she hears the shower turn on.

Caroline settles in, changing the channel and eating her snacks. It's not long before the door opens and Katherine walks out completely dry, only wearing her panties and bra. She tries not to stare, tries to focus on the tv, on chewing her food, on anything but barely clothed Katherine.

It's not that she's gay or anything, because really, she's not. Hello? She was with Damon, -also, Jordan and Marcus, but they're a different story- but she can admit when a girl has a nice body. And Katherine, well, she's not blind. Really though, who wouldn't look? She just doesn't want to make the situation more awkward than it already is. But it's weird, really. She's seen Elena almost naked before, she can't help but want to compare. See if they really are identical.

"Move over." Katherine says, pulling the human from her thoughts. Caroline realizes she's been sitting, holding a half eaten snickers in her mouth, and quickly moves over in the bed, putting the rest of the snacks in the empty chair.

"Pass me a candy bar." Katherine says, draping the covers over herself. Caroline obeys and they sit in silence, watching late night TV. But Caroline isn't paying attention. A thousand things are running through her mind. How long will she keep me around? Will she kill me when she's through? Will she kill me before Elena, Damon, and Stefan come for me? Wait...how can she eat food? Vampires can eat food?

"How can you eat food?" Caroline asks out loud.

"As long as we drink blood everything runs smoothly. Almost as if I we're still human." She says, listlessly.

"So, food doesn't taste like cardboard?"

"No. It tastes just the same, just not as fulfilling, and we can't survive off of it. Blood is our drug of choice. Human, preferably." She says, eyeing Carolines' neck.

Caroline gulps and moves on to her next question. "So how do you and Elena look exactly alike? You're not twins that were separated at birth, are you?"

Katherine turns to Caroline, looking her directly in the eyes. "That's enough questions for tonight." She says, pupils dilating and shrinking, a smile on her face. Caroline looks at her intensely, being compelled by the vampire.

"Ok." She says, with a peppy smile.

"You're going to let me have a little snack, it won't hurt at all, and then you will go to sleep."

"A snack, then sleep." Caroline repeats mindlessly. Katherine smiles and takes Caroline's wrist. She brings it to her mouth, closes her eyes as veins surface around them. She feels her teeth come out, opens her eyes, then bites down gently on Caroline's wrist. The girl winces a little, but other than that she remains silent. Almost immediately after Katherine has fed from her she drifts off to sleep.
