Chapter 4- Rage Unleashed.

A/N: Sorry for not updating earlier, we were away without WiFi for a while. Thanks for your reviews!

"Hi Tyler." Hayley smiled.

Caroline stared at Hayley and then at Tyler. "Who is this?" She demanded.

Tyler shrugged. hayley "Just someone I met in LA."

Hayley shrugged. "I wouldn't use the word ´someone´to describe what we are to each other. So, this is your girlfriend Caroline, then." She studied her. "Not as pretty as you described."

Caroline turned to Tyler. "Did you sleep with her?"

"Care-" Tyler started to protest.

Caroline whirled around and walked angrily from the room. As soon as she left the room she broke into a run. When she turned the corner, she walked straight into Klaus. "Caroline?" He asked as she continued running as far away from Tyler's room as she could.

"Care!" Tyler ran behind her and Klaus grabbed his arm and pulled him to a halt. "What the hell, man?!"

"What's going on?" Klaus asked, calmly.

"It's none of your business." Tyler snapped.

Klaus raised an eyebrow. He let go of Tyler's arm and hurried up the stairs after Caroline. "Caroline?" He walked into a small sitting room that was for the boys to spend time . He caught sight of Caroline, who had her back to him and had clenched fists and was shaking with anger.

Tyler ran in after Klaus. "Caroline!" He called. Caroline whirled around to face him, anger evident on her face. Slowly, the objects in the room started shaking. Klaus carefully made his way over to Caroline and placed his hands on her shoulders.

"Caroline. You need to calm down." That had no effect, so he looked at Tyler. "Tyler, get Elijah." He ordered.

"But-" Tyler protested.

"Get. My. Brother. Now." Klaus interrupted. Tyler turned and ran out of the room and after a few minutes he caught sight of Elijah and yelled. "Elijah! I need your help! It's Caroline." Elijah studied his face before nodding.

"Find my mother and inform her of what's happened." Elijah set off to find the room.

Elena and Jenna were having a conversation. "Why did you never tell me?" She asked.

"Small town like Mystic Falls. People are going to notice if you can turn invisible or control water." Jenna shrugged.

"I have to admit, it's pretty cool that you can turn invisible, Aunt Jenna." Elena smiled. She had gotten over her anger over nobody telling her about this stuff because, to be honest she wouldn't have believed them anyway. "How's Alaric, by the way?"

Jenna smiled. "He's sorting out the tenants that ar-" She was cut off by a sudden violent shaking. Jenna pulled Elena under a doorframe.

"Is it an earthquake?" Elena yelled over the sound of items falling and smashing.

Jenna, who had been staring out of the window, shook her head. "I don't think so. I mean, the kids outside don't seem to be affected. It's like it's just inside the house."

Matt was making his way to Tyler's bedroom to find out if he had told Caroline yet as he was not going to wait forever for him to tell her about his indiscretion. However, on his way there the house had begun to shake. He sped up and hurried over to Tyler's door. He opened it and was surprised to see that Tyler and Caroline were not there but there was a pretty brunette that he didn't recognise. "Who are you? Where are Tyler and Caroline?"

Hayley opened her mouth to answer but Matt continued talking.

Do y-" Matt paused and listened. "Are those kids upstairs? What the hell's going on?"

Upstairs, Stefan and Damon were headed to the sitting room because they had noticed a quite a few kids running around the corridors. They spotted a young girl that they had never seen before. They walked towards her. Bonnie Bennett turned to face the two boys that had just approached her. "Do either of you know what's going on?" She asked.

"No," Damon shook his head. "But I intend to find out." He pushed his way through the assembled children until he was inside the room. "Elijah, what is going on?"

Elijah looked over at him. "Did you see my mother on your way here?"

Damon shook his head. "No, but there's a whole load of kids running around."

Elijah nodded. "You get them out, it's not safe inside the house." Damon nodded and along with Stefan and Bonnie he ushered the kids outside. He walked over to the door and peered around to see if Esther was on her way.

"Elijah, what the hell's going on?" Matt asked as he spotted him.

"It's Caroline." Elijah answered. He turned to Hayley. "Who are you?" Hayley opened her mouth to answer but at that moment everything stopped. Items stopped falling off the shelves, the house stopped shaking and everything was still.

"Where are you going?" They heard Klaus say. Elijah turned to see Caroline walking out of the room. She pushed past him and walked over to Hayley. She stared at her for a moment before Hayley shot backwards and hit the wall behind her with a bang. Matt and Elijah hurried over to her and Klaus gently pulled Caroline back inside the room. Elijah bent down to take her pulse, check for any breathing and to check for any blood on her head.

"She's fine. Just unconscious " He assured them.

"Elijah, where is Caroline?" Esther said as she walked up the stairs towards them. Elijah motioned to the room behind him.

"Tyler, take the girl to the infirmiry and then report to my mother's office. Matt go with him and stay with her until she is treated." Elijah ordered. Matt and Tyler left the room with Hayley in Tyler's arms. Esther walked into the room where Klaus was keeping Caroline calm by talking to her softly.

"I will take it from here, Niklaus." Esther said. Klaus nodded and stepped away from Caroline. "I think it is best if you go and make sure that everyone can be treated is they are injured and to clear the fallen and destroyed items. See to it." Klaus and Elijah left the room.

Damon, Stefan and Bonnie had managed to help a large amount of kids outside. "Stefan!" Kol called when he spotted him. He and Rebekah walked over to them. "What happened?"

"Where were you?" Stefan asked.

"We were by the lake when we saw a load of kids running outside. What's going on?" Kol questioned.

"Did you guys not feel the earthquake?" Bonnie asked incredulously.

"What earthquake?" Rebekah asked.

"It wasn't an earthquake." Damon answered.

"Was it Caroline?" Kol asked.

"Damon! Everyone can come in now. I suggest that anyone that's injured should go to the infirmiry. Stefan and Bekah, you guys go with them and help them as much as you can. I'll try to find an adult to come help you. Damon and Kol, with me and Bonnie can you look for any kids around the house." Klaus suggested.

"Alright Nik. Come along Stefan and injured people." Rebekah saidm heading off towards the infirmiry. Stefan and a few kids followed her. Klaus, Damon and Kol were headed back inside when they bumped into Jenna and Elena.

"Jenna! Thank God. Do you mind going to the infirmiry? Stefan and Bekah need adult supervision because they're helping the kids but they just know basic first aid. Besides, I think, Elena, you need that cut looked at."

"Yeah, sure." Elena and Jenna headed off towards the infirmiry.

Tyler lay Hayley down on a bed in the infirmiry. "You really screwed up, man." Matt said. "How did she know about this place, anyway?"

Tyler shrugged. "I told her."

"Does she have a mutant ability or something?" Matt asked.

Tyler shook his head. "No, I just wanted to impress her."

"You're a dick, you know that? Caroline deserved better."

Tyler sighed. "I know. Look, I have to go to Esther's office. I'll see you." He left. On his way out he walked into Stefan and Rebekah.

"What happened to her? And who is she?" Rebekah asked, motioning to Hayley.

"Her name's Hayley. Tyler slept with her when she was in LA." Matt explained.

"That bastard." Rebekah muttered. "I'm guessing that's why she's unconscious. Anyway, we need to treat these kids."

Jenna walked in. "Stefan, can you treat Elena? She's been cut." She asked. Stefan nodded and motioned for Elena to sit down on a bed.

"I'm Stefan." He introduced himself when he walked over with some supplied.

"I'm Elena Gilbert. It's nice to meet you." Elena smiled flirtatiously.

"You too." Stefan said, innocently. He washed the cut with some warm water. "This is going to sting." He warned. Then he used hand soap to wash the cut and the skin around it. He then put some peroxide on the wound and let it bubble up. He then rinsed it out and bandaged the cut.

"What's your power? Super healing?" Elena joked.

Stefan laughed. "No."

"What is it then?" Elena asked curiously.

"Well-" Stefan was cut off.

"Stefan! There are other people that need medical attention!" Rebekah snapped.

"I guess I have to go." Stefan smiled and headed off.

Tyler walked into Esther's office. Caroline was already seated and staring out of the office window. "Ah, Tyler. Take a seat." Esther gestured to a chair. Tyler sat down. "Now, I need you to tell me what happened."

"Well, Hayley came to my room whilst Caroline and I were catching up. She said some bad stuff and Caroline flipped out." Tyler explained. Esther nodded slowly.

"You may go." Tyler got up and left. Caroline looked at Esther. "Both of you."

Caroline walked outside and came face to face with Kol. "Hey Care. How you doin'"

Caroline laughed shakily. "You do a horrible Joey impression"

Kol grinned and hugged her tightly. "I missed you. How've you been?"

Caroline shrugged. "You know. Same old."

"I need to go help the guys, but I'll get Rebekah and we can talk later." Kol waved and walked off. Caroline walked to her room and curled up on her bed. After a few minutes there was a knock on her door.

"Come in." She called. Bonnie and Elena walked in.

"Hey." Elena said softly.

"What happened to your head?" Caroline asked.

"Oh, something fell and cut me. I was treated by a very handsome student. His name is Stefan." Elena explained.

"Stefan Salvatore." Caroline smiled at the thought of one of her best friends.

"What the hell happened to you?" Bonnie asked. "Everyone kept saying that it wasn't an earthquake and that it had something to do with you."

Caroline shifted uncomfortably. "Well, the thing is, I'm telekinetic and sometimes I don't have complete control over it."

"That's pretty badass. Did you really knock that girl out?" Elena asked.

"Yeah." Caroline admitted.

"See! I told you I wasn't lying!" Bonnie hit Elena lightly on the arm. "I'm really sorry for getting mad at you earlier, by the way."

"Me too." Elena added.

"I'm sorry for leaving you guys without saying goodbye." Caroline apologized. "Group hug?" The three girls hugged.
