Last time on Left to Die
"You're crying, what is the matter" Elijah said
"Caroline, I know you overheard my conversation with Kol, it isn't polite to eavesdrop" Elijah said looking down at Caroline "I need you to stop lying to me"
"Like you have lied to me?" Caroline said
"I'll tell you everything, just let me show you" Elijah said calmly as he placed his hands on either side of her face slipping into her mind, showing her his memories.
"Elijah wait-" Caroline said scared "I don't want to be alone"
"I'll stay with you until you fall sleep" Elijah said as he turned to face her, using his thumb to move a lock of her blonde hair behind her ear before Caroline climbed into her bed pulling the covers over herself as Elijah sat down next to her giving her forehead a small kiss, lingering for a long moment before pulling away, he looked down at her beautiful blue eyes as the candle light flicked across her face making her glow. "It's okay Caroline, i'll always be here for you"
The sun was high in the sky, leaves falling from the trees making them bare as they fell in piles onto the grass and the windows beginning to frost at the cold air outside signalling the upcoming winter. Lady Caroline walked down the corridor dressed in her favourite long sleeved blue dress with her long wavy blonde hair falling down her back. Helen by her side as usual, with Sir Thomas her guard close behind.
"Lady Caroline, what was Lord Elijah doing in your chambers so late at night, if it had something to do with your depressing mood that evening you must tell me" Helen said nagging her to no end
"Helen though I apreciate your concern, will you please leave it alone" Caroline begged
"I will not little missy, it is inappropriate for a man to be alone with an unmarried women in her chambers, and not to mention how much older he is. If you won't be careful the towns people will start to talk and soon no man will marry you" Helen said fumming with anger
"Helen, I assure you nothing happened. He- he was telling me about what truely happened that night" Caroline said stopping as they walked looking down saddened, Helen knew what that night meant.
"Oh dear child" Helen said worried
"after last night, I have no idea how to contemplate what he told me. He answered all my questions but it just raised new ones to the surface and he has told me so much of his past, it's like there is a whole over part of Elijah that I didn't even knew existed" Caroline said looking at the floor tears brimming her eyes
"Lady Caroline-" Helen said but was cut off by the sounds of barking and shouting of men outside the castle
"what's going on" Caroline said looking outside the window scared, the window showed the back gardens that were connected to the surrounding forest. Guard dogs were barking madly and the guards were pulling out there swords preparing to attack as armed men walked slowly out of the forest. Thomas soon understood the situation as bells sounded throughout the castle warning them of an attack
"Lady Caroline we must retreat to a safer location, away from windows as soon as possible" Thomas said lightly grabbing Caroline's wrist pulling her away from the window
"Thomas, what is happening?" Lady Caroline said as she stepped closer to Helen who looked worried
"We are under attack!" Thomas as as he took off down the corridor pulling Caroline behind him as Helen also followed suit
Sir Thomas, Lady Caroine and Helen all were hastily walking down the corridor heading to the main hall, were Thomas was insructed to bring Lady Caroline in these types of emergencies, there Lord Elijah would be waiting to give him further instructions. That all went down the drain as he saw something roll towards them, it was a grenade. He managed to push Caroline and Helen though the doorway they just pasted though but had to take the full blast, his skin burned as clear liquid exploded onto his arms and face. Vervain!
"Thomas!" Caroline screamed as she ran back towards him wanting to help him
Four men filed in through from the doorway opisite him where the grenade had been thrown through, they held crossbows in their hands walking in like they owned the place. Thomas groaned as he tried to stand, he had to protect Lady Caroline. Thomas pulled out his sword flashing towards one of the men stabbing him, he fell to the ground dead. Thomas was about ready to kill the rest but stopped as he felt a large pain in his chest, he looked down and notice a wooden arrow had been launched into his chest by a crossbow. He felt his strengthn weaken and his vision waver, his skin turning grey.
"No! Thomas!" Caroline screamed being held back by Helen who screamed at her to run, Thomas fell to the fall completely grey and veiny, dead.
"Kill that one, keep the blonde alive" one of the men said pointing to Helen and then to Caroline
before Caroline could comprehend anything one of the men lifted his crossbow shooting a arrow towards Helen, it stabbed her in the stomach making her fall to the ground bleeding.
"No, Helen no no no..." Caroline screamed falling to the floor on her knees next to her, as blood began to pour out of her wound. "No! You can't die" Caroline said as tears began to fill her eyes, Caroline overcome with sobs not knowing what to do
"Caroline- run-" Helen barely chocked out coughing up blood
"No I won't leave you" Caroline sobbed as she clutched Helen's hand in hers, Helen's eyes filled with tears as they streamed down her cheeks, her breathing becoming slower with every breath. "You aren't meant to die just yet, you deserved to grow old, find that love you always wanted, have lots of children. You weren't meant to bleed to death in a corridor" Caroline said as Helen began to stop breathing "Helen, Helen please. No" Caroline said still clutching Helen's hand in hers as tears continued to flood her vision.
One of the men took hold of her arm, in an attempt to pull the girl upwards. Caroline struggled in his grip, wanting to stay with Helen and Thomas's bodies.
"Let me go, you monsters" Caroline shouted being pulled away down the corridor screaming and shouting, struggling but it was worthless against his hard grip
"No you are the monster, siding with the vampires" one of the men gruffly said as she was pulled into the main hall were a large group of vampire hunters surrounded Kol and Elijah.
Elijah and Kol were surrounded in the main hall, they could have defeated the vampire hunters easily if it wasn't for the fact the Caroline was still missing, they weren't at the meeting point and he was starting to worry. Was she taken? Did something happen to Sir Thomas? Was Caroline hurt? Was she scared? all these questions made him anxious, he had always been a step ahead yet these vampire hunters seemed to know the castle inside and out, they must of had inside help. Dammit! Were is she?
Just as he thought that, the large door to the hall opened and a man with brown hair, green eyes wearing hunting attire walked into the room, other hunters behind him, holding a crying struggling Caroline. He dragged her with him and threw her to the floor holding the crossbow to the back of her head as he glared at the two weirdly calm vampires, Caroline hold herself in her arms as she sobbed
"Where is the third one?" the man said angry as the other vampire hunters moved in slowly, on full alert
"The rest of the house is empty, its just them" one of the other hunters replied making the one holding the bow at Caroline's head angry
"there was meant to be three vampires, those two and a blonde one. This one is human it can't be her, we must have been miss informed. Where is William?" the man said pushing the bow to her head harder making her sob more, the door opened again to reveal more vampire hunters lead by a blonde man with a large beard and blue eyes
"Well, well, well vampires. Who is going to die first, maybe the one that killed half my village last week?" The man said confidently
Elijah stood their furious, these men come into his home, harm Caroline and threaten him. He turned to look at Kol giving him a questioning glare, Kol looked back at him trying to look innocent put failing miserably.
"I may have had a snack on my way over, well when I say snack I mean lunch" Kol said smirking, one of the vampire hunters pointed their crossbow at him firing a wooden cross bolt. It would have hit Kol in the stomach if it wasn't for his vampire speed he caught it with ease before it could hit his stomach. "I wouldn't have done that if i was you" Kol said changing his face to show his vampire features
"Do anything and I kill the girl" The blonde man pointing to Caroline said making Kol change his face back in surprise
"If you do anything to harm Caroline, I will end you" Elijah said angry that he couldn't just rip them to shreds, The blonde hunter looked over at the girl that looked so familiar he thought for a while before finally realising who she was
"Carolina?" The blonde man said starting to tear up, it couldn't be. Caroline looked up at the man though teary eyes, he looked so familiar. She looked into his blue eyes and remembered him, he hadn't aged a day since then, all those nine years ago. Caroline began to tear up at the memory, he was alive.
"Father?"
