Bloodshed
I woke up on the couch, Klaus and Elijah were huddled around me. I sat up, I felt like my self I guess that's good. I looked out the window it was dark. I must have been out all day. "Caroline, what is this 'devils bane' you said you touched?" I turned to Klaus, who was speaking. What?" I was confused, then I remembered after Klaus and I, you know, I was on and off then I blacked out.
"Devils bane, that's the balance." Elijah turned to klaus and then back at me. "The balance? That is what you need to cure!" His yelling made my head pound. I put my hands on my heads and knelt into a ball screeching.
Klaus put his hand on me. "Caroline?"
He shook me slowly, I stopped the screeching and looked at him. I took deep breaths. In and out, in and out. "Is this what the, devils bane causes? On and off humanity, and unpleasant headaches." Klaus said devils bane like he still didn't believe it was real.
"No, well I don't know, none of us know. It has a different effect on everybody." Elijah's face was hard to read but it was filled with confusion. "What do you mean exactly."
"What I mean Elijah, is that every one is different, for instance, Damon is eating everyone in sight and losing his memory as we speak, Matt has all sorts of super powers, and Jeremy can't stop killing people." The expression on klaus and Elijah's face got worse. Shock, surprise, worry, I didn't know what it was. "And what of Tyler?"
I was surprised when Klaus asked about Tyler. I answered his question truthfully. "Tyler is," I couldn't talk about him I knew I'd turn into a puddle of tears if I did, but I kept going either way. "Dying. Desiccating slowly and painfully."/div
Klaus sat next to me on the couch and grabbed my shoulders. I leaned on his shoulder and tried not to cry. I didn't. In fact being curled up next to him felt nice. Elijah left the room and klaus and I were there alone.
"Klaus?" "What is it?" I took my head off his shoulder and looked him in the eyes. "I'm gonna die, so are Matt, Tyler, Damon and Jeremy."
I shed a tear, Klaus wiped it away and kissed my forehead. "I'll find a way to end this plague that has been bestowed upon your friends." I felt safe when he said that. I laid on his lap and fell asleep.
