Elena woke up and slowly opened her eyes. Her neck was aching like hell, last thing she remebered was that Caroline had snapped her neck. She rubbed it to ease the pain. Suddenly, she realized what had happend.
"Oh no no no... She couldn't..." thought Elena.
She pulled the cell phone out of her bag and called Damon.
"Hello pretty..." said Damon in a low tone.
"Damon, we have a serious problem.."
"What's going on?"
"Caroline snapped my neck, and now she's gone."
"Crap. She did it, didn't she?"
"I guess she did... we need to meet. I'm on my way to your house. Call the rest. Bye." said Elena and rushed out of Caroline's house.

"I didn't expect it to work so easily. There is no pain, and I don't care at all." thought Caroline smiling. "Now ... You! Come closer! I hope you are B positive, because it is my favorite one. Are you?"
"I'm sorry, but I'm A positive. What are you going to do with me?" said a nice looking young man.
Caroline chuckled and smiled widely. She was standing in front of the group consisting of young people.
"Well... you have disappointed me, so I have to kill you." said Caroline calmly as it was something usual.
Caroline came closer to the young man and looked deep in his eyes. She saw fear deep inside his mind. She grinned and snapped his neck without a blink. Caroline sighed.
"Now... there are only three of you left. So ... Maybe by a chance one of you is B positive?"
A redhead girl raised her hand. Caroline clapped her hands.
"Great! You stay with me. And you two..." she sped to them and looked deep in their eyes. "You have to take care of this dead dude. After that just forget about everything."
They took the body and left the place.
Caroline was left alone with her snack in a dark room. There was almost no light, and the smell of dampness was irritating her nostrils. She couldn't stay here any longer, so she started feeding on the girl untill she drunk the last drop of her blood. Caroline cleared the corners of her mouth and left the basement.

Elena literally ran into Salvatore's mansion. She sped to the living room, but no one was there.
"Damon! Stefan!" shouted she, but she heard no reply.
"Elena, are you ok?"
Elena knew that voice, she turned around and saw Damon. She sped into his arms, and wrapped her arms around his neck. Damon held her close. She could stay like this forever, but they had to do something with Caroline. She knew that her friend was not herself, and Elena didn't want anything more than to bring her back.
They heard someone walked into the room. It was Stefan. He looked concern.
"What's going on? Where's Caroline?" asked younger Salvatore brother.
"Stefan..." Elena didn't know where to start. She decided to make it clear. "She turned off her humanity, snapped my neck, and now she's gone."
The news really took him aback. Stefan couldn't believe that Caroline was able to do it. She was innocent and pure. He had to sit down.
"This can't be happening... We have to find her as soon as possible."
"I think that she will show up herself, so there is no need to rush." said Damon.
"But we have to deal with her before she kills many people." added Elena.
"We need to split up and look for her. Elena, you should call Bonnie and Matt. They need to know. Caroline might be dangerous now..." Stefan was trying to make a perfect plan to get his Caroline back.
He didn't know when she became so important to him. Stefan was afraid that he wouldn't have a chance to tell her about his feelings. He already knew that Caroline had some feelings for him, but he didn't look at her in this way. He needed time to realize that she was special and unique. The thought of losing her caused him so much pain.
Stefan, Damon and Elena went outside, and each of them sped in different directions.

Caroline put on a smile and walked into Mystic Grill. She saw Matt behind the counter. Caroline approached him.
"Hi Matt" said Caroline as usual.
"Hi, Care" Matt was trying to behave like everything is alright, but he knew that she turned off her humanity. It scared him, and she noticed it.
"I can hear your heart beating fast. It means that you know... You spoiled the fun. Don't say that you are afraid of me..." Caroline smiled at Matt.
"I'm not saying that I'm afraid of you, Care. But you are different now. What do you want?" Matt was trying to sound seriously.
"You don't have to be afraid. I won't kill you. At least for now..." Caroline laughed. "I am looking for Damon. He's not at home, and I have some business with him..."
"Why don't you just call him? I'm sorry. I'm at work." said Matt and left Caroline alone at the bar.
Caroline had her own plan, she couldn't call Damon, because they would get suspicious. She pulled her phone out of her bag and dialed Elena's number.
"Hi Elena"
"Caroline?"
"Don't be dumb Elena... Who could call you using my number? Anyway, I need to talk to you and Damon. Can we meet in Salavtore's mansion?"
"Well.. if you want to then it's ok. Be there at 9 p.m. ok?"
"Great! See you!"
Caroline put her phone down and grinned.
"Game on..." whispered she and finished her drink.
Caroline stood up and left the Mystic Grill gracefully.

"What do you mean she wants to see us? I smell a rat here." Damon was suspicious of Caroline's behavior.
"Oh come on Damon. She's still Caroline... Maybe she just wants to apologize, or maybe she needs help?" Elena was trying to calm him down. "We need to talk to her. Maybe we could persuade her to flip the humanity switch on?"
"I think you're right. We should at least try. And for now .. We don't have to search for her. It means we have time for each other." said Damon smirking.
He came closer to Elena and wrapped his arms around her waist.
"Mhmmm... Mr. Salvatore.. I don't think we should..." Elena was playing with Damon.
He liked it. He pressed his lips against hers. They had been together for so long, but it didn't lower the passion between them. He lifted her up and sped to his bedroom.

It was nearly 9 p.m., Damon and Elena were waiting for Caroline. They both were nervous since they didn't know her intensions. They heard a car parking on the driveway, and then short knocking on the door. Elena went to open it.
"Hi Elena" said Caroline with a sincere smile.
"Hi Care" replied Elena, and they both headed to the living room.
"Damon." Caroline greeted Damon formally.
Damon only nodded and then started.
"Look Blondie… I don't know what are you planning, but know that I don't trust you. Do something stupid, and you will end up in our cellar." said Damon with a smirk on his face.
"Damon, stop it…" hissed Elena.
"It's alright, Elena. He can say whatever he wants. I don' E." replied Caroline emphasizing the last word. "But.. I didn't come here to argue with Damon. Actually, I came here to make some sort of a peace."
Elena looked at Damon who was looking really shocked and surprised.
"First of all…" continued Caroline. "I want to apologize to you Elena for snapping you neck."
There was a worried look plastered on Caroline's face. She was good actress, and she was happy inside that her plan was going smoothly.
"I shouldn't have done this… But you wouldn't let me to do what I wanted to do. And it was my decision, Elena. Just let me take care of my life."
Elena felt stupid. Maybe Caroline really could control her humanity-off vampire's instincts.
"I think that I should say sorry, Care." started Elena. "I know that is your life and your choice, but I didn't want you to make the same mistakes that I did."
Elena looked deep in Caroline's eyes. Blonde smiled and came closer to Elena.
"You just wanted to be a good friend, and I appreciate it. I can control myself while I don't have to feel anything." said Caroline and hugged Elena. "But! We don't want this evening to be so sad and depressing, do we?!" laughed Caroline.
She pulled a bottle of bourbon out of her bag, and waved it in front of Damon's face. He smirked slightly.
"I must admit, Blondie, that you know how to make a peace with me. I will bring glasses."
Damon left the living room in the inhuman speed and was back in the blink of an eye. He passed the glasses to Caroline, and she poured the alcohol. Blonde vampire gave her friends the cups and lifted hers up.
"For the friendship and being a good vampire without humanity." laughed Caroline. "Cheers!"
The moment the liquid got to Elena and Damon's throats, they started choking and expectorating with blood.
"Vervain.. " hissed Damon.
"Oopsie …. I might have brought a wrong bottle …" said Caroline with a devilish smile on her face.
She took two syringes from her coat and injected the liquid into Damon and Elena's veins.
"What are you doing, Caroline…." Elena only managed to gasp.
"Well... you can call it boredom…" said Caroling crossing her arms on her chest. She started walking around the room. "Or maybe I'm just seeking revenge."
"Revenge?!" growled Damon.
Caroline didn't answer. She grabbed wooden chair from the corner of the living room and broke it into pieces.
Panic and fear crossed Elena and Damon's faces. They were afraid that the worst was yet to come. Elena tried to reach her phone and call for help, but Caroline quickly noticed it and stabbed her hand with a piece of the chair.
"I wouldn't do that."
"Leave her alone!" Damon managed to shout and tried to stand up, but Caroline kicked him right in his face. Salvatore fell on his back.
"Are you still trying to defend her after everything she has done?" started Caroline with an amazed tone.
Elena felt the jab in her heart. She couldn't believe that Caroline was going to say it. Damon couldn't know, it would destroy him.
"Caroline … stop it …" Elena started gingerly.
"Did you know that she slept with Stefan when you were in some sort of alternative world?"
Caroline divulged Elena's secret. Damon started breathing faster, he was upset and betrayed. He would never have thought that his beloved Elena could do this to him.
"Damon .. I-I …." Elena tried to explain, but Caroline stopped her.
"You know, Elena. You always say that you don't like you vampire life, and now since Damon knows about your little betrayal, I can put an end to your miserable existence… " said Caroline and a devilish grin showed up on her face.
She picked up another piece of the wooden chair, and started walking slowly towards Elena.
"Care… I beg you .. " Elena almost started crying.
"Don't do this! Leave her!" cried Damon.
Caroline sped to Elena with a wooden stake. Damon's scream pierced the whole room. He couldn't believe that Caroline took away from him the sense of his immortal existence. Damon tried to stand up, but again he was knocked down by Caroline. Tears started rolling down Damon's face.
"How could you?!" cried he.
"As you can see… I could." replied Caroline with weird expression on her face. "And stop behaving like a little bitch. I didn't kill her. I missed, and I snapped her neck, so that I can take care of you now."
Damon felt relief and happiness, he tried to reach Elena's hand, but suddenly everything went black. Caroline snapped his neck.
"God… what a baby…"
Caroline found some piece of paper and wrote down few words.
"I have Damon, and I will have some fun with him. Don't do anything stupid. C"
Caroline laid the note on not-so-dead Elena's body, grabbed Damon and wooshed out of the Salvatore's mansion.
