The pain of the splinters being taking out awakened me, I gasp for air as if I had been holding my breath in for ages. I see Elena crawl next to me and holds my hand as Stefan is pulling them out. She is lying on the bed with me, I'm just squeezing her hand and I close my eyes as I rest my head on her shoulder.
When did my life become so messed up?! I'm literally getting plucked at like a chicken.
I wince at every pinch, it feels like someone is pinching my insides, which Stefan is technically doing. I just close my eyes and take a deep breath before he starts again. I have to think now! Why does Silas want me? Does he fancy me or something? I smile at how ridiculous that thought is. I bet I look demented smiling while I'm being plucked but oh well. But seriously he must need me for something but what is the question. He is really trying for me to turn it off, heck he may even win but not yet. We need a plan.
I'm brought out of my thought when I feel the tugging has stopped. I slowly open my eyes to find Stefan, Damon and Klaus at the end of the bed with their arms crossed.
"I'm sorry but since when did you three get so in sync with each other." They all look at each other after my comment and start to uncross their arms. It was pretty funny to watch but none of them found it as amusing as I did. "So what's the plan?"
"Funny you should mention that blondie." Ah so Damon does speak, he's been so quiet that I thought he lost his tongue. "We have a spell to take Silas down and we have a witch."
"And where did this spell and witch come from?" This comes from Elena who is now sitting up with me with her legs crossed.
"Well, Stefan found the spell is Bonnie's Grimoire." I tense at her name and the fact that Stefan went through her personal belongings. "And Klaus is bringing one of his witchy friends from New Orleans" Urgh, is he still here?
"Why can't we find a witch who is more reliable than being friends with Klaus?" I stare at Damon, giving him daggers and waiting for his response to my question.
"Well I wouldn't call her my friend, love. More like an acquaintance who owed me a favour." I look at Klaus and I'm now giving him daggers. Only if looks could kill.
"Still not reliable enough. We need someone who is powerful and willing to do this."
"She is reliable, and she's the only one available to help with your problem right now." I hate him when he's right.
"Fine, okay so how are we going to get Silas to come to us?" I stand up and notice my white tank top is all bloody now, I get over it quickly since there's a way to get rid of Silas. I turn in the direction where Stefan is standing and hope he responds.
"Well, blondie. That's where you come in!" I don't like Damon's tone, what does he mean that's where I come in, I just look at him confused. Wait a minute!
"What? Please tell me I'm not bait!" I look towards Stefan and he looks at the ground, so I look at Elena and she's looking at me with sympathy. "Great, as usual." I whisper under my breath, really not caring if they hear or not. "When will the witch be here?"
"In a couple of hours." This comes from Stefan who is still not looking at me.
"Well then, that gives me time to shower and change." I start to walk out but Elena stops me.
"You can borrow one of my tops if you want." Does nobody understand that I want to be alone.
"No thanks, if I'm going to die i'd rather be showered and clean clothed" Klaus looks like he wants to speak but he just keeps staring at me as if I'm going and never coming back. Elena walks up to me and grabs my hand.
"Care, don't think like that. You are not going to die. We are going to be there to make sure the spell is complete and Silas is gone, okay?" I squeeze her hand before I let it go. I don't want to respond at all so I just walk out of the room and head towards the front door.
I completely forgot that my car is at Elena's, this day is just getting worse. I'm a control freak and nobody is allowing me to have any control over this situation so I'm getting my car and I'm going home.
I vamp speed to Elena's house and I just sit in my car, sitting there in the peace. No noise, no screaming, no talking just beautiful silence. I just lean my head on the head rest and close my eyes for 5 minutes. I'm thankful for it but I've got to get moving so I'm ready when the witch comes.
The roads are quiet which is usual for this time of day, parents at work and children in school, just another causal normal afternoon. Well for some people.
My house still looks cold and gloomy, even with the lights on but most of all it just feels empty. I close my bedroom door and walk to my ensuite bathroom to turn the shower on. Do you know when in movies the character just stares at them selves in the mirror while leaning on it and have this face that you can't really describe. While that's literally what I'm doing right now and I can tell you that, that look is despair, frustration, tiredness, and loss. The bathroom is steaming up and the mirror is fogging up so my reflection is slowly disappearing, so I step into the shower.
I've always been known to be in the shower for about 30 minutes but that's because I do my best thinking in here. No one invades here so I get time to think. Sometimes about arguments I've had and comebacks I should've said but didn't because I've only just thought of them now. I think I've been in here for more than half an hour but it's been nice.
My white tank top is ruined, it could be saved but I'm too lazy so I just throw it in the washing basket. I grab a strappy top with this weird but pretty pattern on it along with another pair of black skinny jeans because I have a feeling there's going to be a fight today and blood doesn't show on black.
As I'm putting my jeans on I hear a bang downstairs in the kitchen and I vamp speed down there to find Klaus sitting by the kitchen counter, smiling at me.
"What the hell do you think you are doing?" I fold my arms in fury!
"Just making sure you aren't doing something impulsive, love."
"Well I'm not so leave!" I point out towards the door but remain staring at him. He doesn't budge. "Klaus I'm serious I don't want to see you!"
"You can't be angry at me forever, love!" I put my hands to my head while scrunching up my hair in frustration. Did he really just say that to me? He didn't even try to apologise.
"Klaus you don't get it so just get out!" He stands up and is slowly walking around the counter towards me.
"What do I not get?"
"That the trust you built with me has been broken by one stupid act! That's what! You don't get to come into my house and talk to me like you haven't done something to hurt me." He stops moving forward and leans on the counter.
"I didn't know I hurt you that bad."
"Are you freaking kidding me, Klaus? You compelled me! Even when I asked you not too! For what, huh? To get what you want, it's always about you or your freaking family. But as soon as anyone you say you 'care' for gets in the way of you or them, then you will do anything to make sure they are safe. Which I actually admired until today!" He looks like he is about to speak but I'm not gonna let him get a word in. "Uh-uh you don't get to have a say in this because you lost that right when you compelled me. I've tried and tried to get through to you but I'm giving up on you, on us. So leave." I take a deep breathe of air and stand confidently to show him I'm not backing down.
"I'm sorry" I unfold my arms and tension starts to leave my body. I never really expected him to apologise at all but just go in a mood for a while. "Caroline, I'm sorry! I never meant to hurt you and yes you are right one of my priorities is my family but don't you ever think that I don't care about you or that you are not my priority either. I compelled you because I know you. You're a control freak who wanted to not get anyone involved in your problem before you knew it was a problem but I could see it on your face that it was troubling you. I thought that if you knew something that would hurt you then I would be able to protect you from it. And when you wouldn't tell me, I did a rash thing that has hurt you and that hurts me. I did that and I shouldn't have. I just hope that one day in the future you can forgive me." I'm too shocked for words that I never realised how close he was to me, I could feel his breath on my cheek.
A tear rolled down his cheek and I wipe it away but I leave my hand on his face just stroking it gently and he tenses but finally relaxes at my touch. Everything he just said to me is still going around in my mind and I don't know how to feel about it, happy, sad, or both. But I do know that I'm not angry anymore and more relaxed around him. I may not have forgiven him but his eyes prove to me that he is sincere and is true to his words.
He looks from my eyes to my lips and I do the same. His lips look so good to kiss right now, so soft and warm. He brought his hand up to my cheek and brushed it lightly before placing it through my hair on the side on my face. It felt so nice and natural with him, he put his other hand on my waist pulling me closer to him. He then again moved closer towards my face looking from my eyes to my lips until we were close enough that I could feel his breathe on my lips and my lips began to tingle while my breathing became shallow.
His hand was now placed on the small of my back and was working its way under my shirt. There was a spark, a connection when his hand touched my bare skin and it made me shiver. I lift my hand cupping his face pulling him forward and he accepted as he came closer to my lips until we finally met. His lips are so soft and fit perfectly with mine, it's exactly how I imagined his lips would feel against mine, so soft and yet so giving. It was beautiful, I never knew that I wanted this kiss to happen so badly but I did and I believe he did also.
He vamp speeds us against a wall and I jump on him by locking my legs around his waist, while he places his hands on the low of my back to hold me up. I had to pull away because I was running out of air, my breathes were shallow as were his.
I lean back to see his face and I was met by this smile of his and his blue eyes locking with mine. I wrap my arms around his neck while he holds me, he presses his forehead gently against mine making me feel safe for the first time in a long time.
