Damon lay on his bed, not able to sleep. He couldn't go to sleep after everything that had happen earlier. The worst thing was that he didn't know why it bothered him so much… He guessed that it was probably the fact that she figured out about all he did to her. But still, who cares if she knew? So, she hated him now… why did that bother him? Why couldn't he bare the pain in her face when she talked to him? Why did he want to comfort her and just make everything better…? Why?
Damon groaned in frustration, I mean… every time Elena was mad at him, he didn't exactly feel this way. Every time Elena cried, he didn't feel his chest ache in pain. But with Caroline… tonight… it did. Why?
Damon loved Elena, and he always will… right? Its not like he cared about Caroline… its not like he cared what she thought… did he? Then why did he not talk back… why didn't he snap in her face for accusing him…?
Maybe it was just the fact that he didn't want to make her feel bad then she already was- Wait, since when did he care?
Damon closed his eyes tightly, he just wanted to block out all thoughts and questions he had.
I love Elena, I love Elena, I love Elena…
Damon constantly thought to himself, of course he loved Elena… he told her so himself and kissed her 3 years. That's what he wanted right?
Damon rolled onto his side and tried to fall asleep… and he knew that was probably impossible.
Caroline slammed her bedroom door and practically jumped onto her bed. She was trying so hard to not breakdown and let all tears fall. She wasn't going to breakdown and throw away everything she had worked on for all these 3 years! She was Caroline Forbes! But, who could blame her… seeing him again, brought back memories she didn't want to recall. Yet, after seeing him, all the feelings she was trying to avoid came rushing back to the surface.
She couldn't still love him… could she? No! Not after what he did… besides its not like he loved her, his world revolved around Elena.
Caroline battled with her thoughts as she slowly cried herself to sleep.
What she didn't notice was a familiar face stood outside her window, watching her sleep.
He chuckled, and smirked at Caroline's sleeping, yet crying form.
"Caroline… I've missed you so much, to bad its time for you to go…"
The tall man laughed as he walked away from Caroline's house, You can live your life for now Caroline… just for now…
Damon woke up sleepily as the sun hit his face. He groaned as he got up from his bed, it took him a few minutes to recall exactly what happen the other night, he groaned once again and walked to the bathroom.
He sighed as the warm water hit his face as he continued to splash his face with water.
"Da… Damon"
Damon shot his face up to notice a bleeding figure fall to the floor.
"Stefan!" Damon exclaimed as he ran towards his wounded brother.
Damon held his brother for support, "What-"
Stefan interrupted Damon, sounding concerned and frightened, "You've got to save her…"
Damon's brows furrowed, "Save who?"
Stefan grunted as he almost fell to the ground again, "Car-Caroline… Caroline, Damon!"
Before Damon could say anything else Stefan blackout in his arms.
Save Caroline?
Caroline's eyes shot open immediately as Bonnie called out her name constantly.
"Caroline wake up!" Bonnie exclaimed practically pushing Caroline off the bed.
"Alright! I'm up!" Caroline said giggling as she sat on her bed, looking at Bonnie like she'd gone insane.
"Great! Today… me, you, and catching up," Bonnie demanded.
Caroline grinned, "Alright, let me just change."
"YAY!" Bonnie exclaimed as she watched Caroline go to the bathroom, but raised an eyebrow at Caroline stopping in her tracks.
Caroline turned around curiously, "What was up with you leaving right after you saw me, yesterday?"
Bonnie's body tensed as she stared at Caroline. Caroline became more curious.
"What's wrong Bonnie?"
Bonnie sighed, "When, I saw you… I noticed you were different…"
Caroline raised her brow, urging Bonnie to continue, "I know you're a vampire Caroline…"
Caroline looked at Bonnie surprised, "How?"
Bonnie stuttered at first but knew that hiding stuff from Caroline wasn't the best thing, "Stefan sort of told me… a while ago…"
Stefan… how did he know about me being a vampire?
"But, that's impossible…" Caroline trailed off.
Bonnie sighed, "Apparently, not. Stefan was with Klaus… one of the original vampires, he was after Elena for over 3 years… they've been keeping track of you for that long as well."
Caroline's eyes widened, "What?"
"Yes… Klaus claims to keep you hostage if Elena doesn't give herself in… the only thing that worries me is when he'll make his move… he hasn't for 3 years…" Bonnie said slowly as she slowly got lost in her thoughts.
What! Caroline was going to be captured by some stalker vampire, just because of Elena! It was always about Elena! Why? What was so special! Why couldn't just once… someone think for her… about her… think about her well being, before Elena's…?
"What about Stefan… wasn't he…" Caroline trailed off, not wanting to say much.
"Yes, Klaus compelled him to forget his 'human side' and just come with him… just recently Stefan was freed from Klaus' compulsion…"
"How did he manage to do that?" Caroline asked curiously.
"…dunno," Bonnie replied, as Caroline continued to look at her curiously.
"That still doesn't answer my question…"
Bonnie smiled slightly, "Care, it's not like I didn't want to spend time with you-"
"Of course it is Bonnie… it's because I'm a vampire right?" Caroline interrupted her, not able to hide the pain from her voice.
A small smile appeared on Bonnie's face, "Care, vampire or not… your still the same Caroline Forbes… your still my best friend…"
Caroline smiled, "Then why'd you leave so quickly?"
Bonnie tensed, "Stefan… was-uh… in trouble…"
Caroline's brows furrowed, "trouble?"
Bonnie nodded slightly, "When Stefan was freed… he tried to find ways to kill Klaus… so that neither Elena nor you would get hurt in any way… he was so close, but before he could finish the job, Klaus sent one of his 'successful' hybrids after him…"
"But, how'd you know he was in trouble?" Caroline asked still confused.
"Remember the time when Damon drank from me?" Bonnie asked softly trying not to remember the memory.
"Yeah…"
"We'll Stefan made me drink his blood… so I could heal…" Bonnie continued.
Caroline came to realization, as she finished Bonnie's sentence for her, "So, after drinking his blood you can feel if his in trouble or not."
Bonnie scoffed, "I wish… its more like sensing every emotion…"
Caroline blinked in surprise, "Wow… how… witchy…"
Bonnie giggled at that, and walked up to Caroline, hugging her, "I won't let anything happen to you Caroline…"
Caroline smiled, hugging her friend back, "I know."
Stefan's eyes fluttered open slowly, only to have a concerned Elena sitting next to him.
"Oh thank god!" Elena exclaimed as she creased Stefan's cheek constantly.
"Finally! Took you long enough," Damon grumbled as he made his way to the other side of his brother.
Stefan looked around the familiar room, he was in his room. He was laying in his bed, less blood on him from before. He tried sitting up, and groaned as the pain struck him. Elena pushed him back done, "Just lay… Stefan."
Damon looked at both Elena and Stefan, who looked at each other. He couldn't help but feel jealous over the fact of how concerned she was for Stefan…
"So what was that about earlier?" Damon asked, happy that he got their attention, he couldn't sit and watch them have a 'lovey-dovey conversation'.
Stefan sighed, "Caroline's in trouble…"
Before Damon could ask why, or how, Elena spoke, "Caroline? But, we haven't seen her in 3 years…"
Damon's brows furrowed, Elena didn't know… but why? Caroline was her best friend?
"Elena… Caroline returned yesterday…" Damon said trailing off as he saw the surprised expression on Elena's face.
"What? But… no one told me…" Elena said in disbelief.
Damon looked at her confused, what's wrong with Blondie…
"Klaus wants her…" Stefan simple stated as he caught both Elena's and Damon's confused expressions.
"Why?" Damon asked.
"… because he wants Elena…" Stefan said glancing at Elena then at Damon.
"What?" Elena asked confused.
"He let me go… on one condition… I had to give you all a message, he said that if Elena didn't turn herself in…" Stefan trailed off.
"Caroline would replace your position," Damon said, finishing off Stefan's sentence.
Stefan sighed, "I wish… he said if he didn't get Elena… he'd torture Caroline… and eventually-"
"Stop…" Damon said surprising both Elena and Stefan.
Elena was the first one to look away, but was still surprised by Damon, and glanced at Stefan's condition, "How'd you get hurt?"
"I've been freed for a while now… and I've tried to find a way to kill Klaus so that Caroline and you wouldn't have to be troubled by him…" Stefan stated.
Damon tensed, "So you've been freed from Klaus for a while and you didn't tell us?"
"Damon-"
"Do you even have any idea how much we worried about you… we looked for you constantly!" Damon growled.
Elena glared at Damon, which made him even more mad.
"I'm sorry Damon…"
Damon scoffed, "Sure you are."
Damon cooled down as he asked, ``How long have you been freed?``
Stefan sighed, ``A year and few months…``
``What?`` Damon asked angry yet with disbelief.
Elena ignored Damon as she put her attention back on Stefan, "but that still doesn't explain your condition…"
Stefan sighed, "I was so close in figuring out how to kill him… but he sent one of his hybrids after me…"
Damon looked at him curiously, "What do you mean you were close?"
"Well, I'd been travelling for a while… trying to figure out anything that would help me kill Klaus, then I came across this witch, she claimed she knew a way to kill Klaus… but told me to meet her later on that day… but when I got there…"
Damon rolled his eyes, "Of course… Klaus killed her, what you think just because he let you go, he was going to not keep an eye on you?"
Stefan ignored Damon's sarcastic remark and continued to speak, "then I ran… back to Mystic Falls before he got to me… which is when I got attacked by one of his hybrids…"
Stefan smiled slightly at the thought of Bonnie finding him, clearly worried. But he decided to keep that to himself… he didn't want Damon and Elena to know that Bonnie knew about him being 'back to normal' for months… they'd probably snap at her like how Damon did to him…
Elena nodded slightly, trying to take in everything Stefan was telling Damon and her.
"Did you happen to get the witches name… or the hybrids?" Elena asked curious.
"No, not the witches but… I kind of remember the hybrids name…" Stefan said trying to recall the name that he clearly couldn't remember.
Damon tapped his foot eagerly, as he groaned annoyed, "So what was it?"
"… Al-An-…Alex, yeah, Alex, Alex Jones," Stefan stated spluttering at first.
"Alex?" Damon asked in disbelief.
Stefan nodded, and then Damon snorted, "Klaus, Elijah… and then out of no where, Alex Jones?"
Stefan rolled his eyes; Elena couldn't help but laugh.
"So, you think maybe Klaus has ordered… this Alex, to do the dirty work for him?" Elena asked curiously.
Stefan nodded slowly, "Yeah, I guess so… I doubt he would come himself…"
Damon nodded, "So what now?"
"Now?… Damon I have to give myself into Klaus…" Elena said, like it was obvious.
"What! No! Are you out of your mind?" Damon exclaimed.
"What else a I supposed to do, Damon! I can't just let Caroline die!" Elena yelled back.
"Why not?" Damon exclaimed which caused Elena to look at him in disbelief.
Elena faced Stefan once again, "I have to do this Stefan…"
Stefan hesitated, "Maybe we can figure out another way…"
"You too…?" Elena breathed out in disbelief.
"I just don't want anyone getting hurt… we'll find away for both of you to be unharmed." Stefan stated reassuringly.
Elena nodded slowly, while Damon rolled his eyes, "We all know there's no way…"
Both Stefan and Elena glared at Damon causing him to glare equally back, "What? You all know it's the truth."
"No, Damon. We will find a way… and that's including not harming Caroline in any way… right?" Stefan asked Damon, clearly not trusting him. He knew his brother loved Elena and he also knew he would do anything to keep her save… even if it meant having Caroline killed.
Damon rolled his eyes, and groaned in frustration, as he gave in, "Fine."
Stefan nodded at his brother.
Damon watched as Elena comforted her brother, she looked happy. Damon couldn't help but feel jealous. What surprised him more was the fact that he actually thought letting Caroline die was okay… he didn't believe that did he?
"I like this one! It suits you way better than that one!" Caroline stated as she pointed at the other dress in disgust, causing Bonnie to chuckle.
"Anything you say Caroline."
Caroline smiled, and then blinked rapidly, "I can't believe it…"
Bonnie looked at Caroline confused, then looked towards where Caroline was looking and her eyes widened, Oh my god!
Before Bonnie noticed what was happening around her she felt Caroline run past her and hug the familiar man that stood a few feet away from them.
Caroline no…!
Bonnie hurried behind Caroline, until she was right behind the two. The two broke up from the hug and Bonnie memorized the man's features; he was pretty tall and built. His eyes were deep sea blue and he had a head full of dark blonde hair.
"What are you doing here?" Caroline asked surprised.
He smirked, "Well, I was in the town… I didn't know this is where you would run off to…?"
Caroline laughed, "Well, I'm glad we ran into each other!"
His smirk grew, "Yeah, I'm glad too…"
Bonnie stood near them, No! This is not happening! How does Caroline know him?
Bonnie managed to speak, yet it didn't come out as clearly as she planned, "Wh- how do… uh you guys-kn-know each other?"
Caroline giggled, "Oh, I'm sorry."
"He was one of my best friends… when I left Mystic Falls… he was there through it all…" Caroline said smiling.
"Yeah we even dated for a while… didn't go to well…" the man said chuckling.
"But, we still managed to be friends," Caroline finished off, grinning.
Bonnie looked at them confused and couldn't help the fear that was building within her body. She jumped when he spoke again, "Oh, my bad… I forgot to introduce myself…"
Bonnie stared at him blankly as he brought his hand forward, "My name's Alex, Alex Jones, I don't think we've met before…?"
Bonnie gulped, as she shook his hand hesitantly, Yeah… sure we haven't…
There's the chapter every1! I hoped you liked it! I'm sorry about Damon but I promise he'll start to care more... he's just in mized emotions right now... he thinks he loves Elena...
Oh and Elena and Caroline are going to meet in the next chapter! Can't wait!
Review! Comment! :)
