A/N: time for a little Elena and Caroline time :D this is a little different from the series but with all the dialogue as with the pervious expect they were kinda on par

Disclaimer: I own nothing of TVD though I wish I did!

Please read A/N at the bottom it's a tad long though

Chapter 2

I pulled in to school and quickly spotted Caroline, ever since becoming a vampire she had pulled away from her old friends but you could still find her with them occasionally as she loved to keep up with the gossip and check to see if anyone noticed anything strange. Clever one our Care is, I'll give her that, she's really became a better person since turning, even if she did go against us.

"Caroline its Elena I need to come with me and help me do something. Before Stefan gets here it's very important. Move quickly now please" I whisper enough for her to hear but not for anyone else. I see Care's ear prick up and she nods when I finish, Care is then quickly by my side "wow you sound more like Katherine everyday day Elena" she laughs "Thanks Care" I smile and laugh too moving my hair behind my ear subconsciously; it feels good that we can joke around. "Quick we need to get in the car before Stefan arrives" I say urgently "one second Lena tell me what's going on first please?" Care replies nervous "in the car"

As we drive I fill Care in on what I have learned, she shocked but on board with my plan. We drive to my house I run in and get the Petrova Family Book from the shelf in my room; this should help with Katherine I also get a couple of blankets stuffing in all in a big bag that's always hanging around –probably Jenna's- I make sure it all fits. Running back down stairs I quickly get back into the car and turn towards Care and ask "do you know where I can get a bottle of human blood?" Care nods and reaches into her bag pulling out a bottle of blood; looking to her in question she quickly answers "I'm still new and I'm trying to keep the cravings under control. It's easier to carry a few bottles around in case it gets too much." I turn to Care and look at her really look at her, the old Caroline would never be so responsible or thoughtful. "Wow Care Bear that is so thoughtful and responsible I'm proud of you" Care is currently looking away shyly, a thing you would never expect. "You think?" She replies her voice quiet and scared "you don't think it's selfish or bad?" "No I don't I think it's good Care, you've changed so much and I'm so proud of you. We're a lot closer now and I love you Care Bear" I reply honestly "awww love you too Lena."

~/-TfM-/~

We walk through the forest and work out the rest of our plan "tell everyone I wasn't feeling well and I went home from school." I start.
"I can't believe I'm agreeing to this. I'm a terrible liar" Care is nervous and is now unsure ignoring the remark.
I add "and keep Stefan busy. I don't want him to know what I'm up to."
"I'm even worse at duplicity and you know this." Care adds nervously.
Kind of annoyed now I say "you managed to keep me occupied when Katherine paid Stefan a visit." My annoyance shows through some in my tone.
"Yeah, because she threatened me. Not that I'm saying that you should use that as a tactic, it's… Stefan's gonna see right through me." She seems genuinely scared and worried, however I'm annoyed so I say to her. "Caroline, as my friend, do you promise or not?"
"You had to break out the girlfriend code. Okay. I promise." Care replies sighing. I give her a quick reply of "okay." Care has been dying to ask me something since the beginning and sighing she then asks it "why don't you want Stefan to know?" Now it's my turn to sigh and reply not before noticing we're by the steps of the tomb.
"Because he would never be okay with me doing this." Is my honest answer; we walk down the ruins and stop in front of the door Care checks one last time.
"Are you sure you want to do this?" She is really worried for me, but then again we're with the person who killed her. Hmm should of thought of that, oops.
"Yes, I'm sure. She's the only one who knows the truth about Klaus. The only one who can tell me how to stop him." Whether I get it or not is another matter hence the bribes of blood.
"But you're asking for the truth from someone who's probably never giving it. Are you sure about this?"
"Yeah. I can't just sit back and wait. I have to know, Caroline. Please." I stress my point I HAVE to know I just can't sit there wondering forever. Care goes over to the door and picks it up before dragging it across the opening to the wall next to it. Wow her strength still surprises me but it just reflects the strength inside of her, I say this to her and she blushes and mutters a quick "thanks."

"Katherine?" I call a bit louder I don't know how her hearing is now since she's been left here to rot. I look at Caroline sensing her growing discomfort I tell her "I'll be okay from here."

Suddenly a noise rings through the tomb, we both turn towards the darkness of the old faded tomb entrance; fear runs throughout my body no matter what Katherine is manipulative and deadly. A foot comes through the dark; it is dirty, skinny with the veins clearly showing through. Just from her foot I can see Katherine is in bad shape, her feet shuffle through and Katherine became visible.

My first thought was wow she looks bad, like really bad then the pity fades as I remember all she has done to land herself there. Katherine is still in her ball dress but it is torn and bloody, her back is hunched and she can't seem to keep her head up. Her hair is still half up half down but has fallen slightly, it has no shine and looks dull, the makeup she wears looks greasy but her lips are still blood red which is surprising I should ask her where she got that lipstick. Snap out of that Elena! I scold myself there's no need for that, she probably wouldn't tell me anyway. Katherine trips and grabs onto the wall to steady herself. Looking like the dead person she is, Katherine looks every bit like a mythical vampire, her skin is so pale that she has no colour and that is very worrying as her normal skin is olive and usually full of colour. She looks up and has still looks menacing even in this condition, her eyes have not lost their fire or their scheming and calculating light. This makes me sure she still has a plan at work and will get out of the tomb.

"Hello Elena," her voice though hoarse still carries the menace and her accent is more pronounced. "You come to watch me wither away? Goodbye Caroline" authority reigns in her voice, which is surprising in her state, Care looks unsure to leave me but is growingly uncomfortable.
"As long as I stay on this side of the door, she can't hurt me. Please." Caroline looks and slowly walks away as if she doesn't want to leave. I slowly turn back to face Katherine, preparing myself to what I'm about to face.

A/N gonna try and make the chapters same length as this as they're a bit longer at just over 1,250 excluding A/N's so yeah would be good. I suck at describing but I think I did good in this chapter I love the "I should ask her where she got that lipstick" I think it shows humour in the darkness and I want to make Elena funnier and different from the TV show but still show her. The scene in the beginning I thought should be there because could we all see Caroline randomly agreeing to meet Elena in the woods by the tomb? No so I love those scenes a bit of fluff before the serious stuff so anyway hope you enjoyed it. Long A/N but was necessary so anyway see you in the next update :D
