At the Forbes Residence(middle of the night)
Third person pov:
Caroline was rolling around in her bed when she sat up and looked around alert. She heard a noise downstairs but who would be up, she looked over at her clock...at one in the morning. "Hello!" She yelled. When nothing happened and it was still silent she laid back down hoping to get some sleep so she wouldn't look so dead at school tomorrow. All of a sudden some sort of glass broke downstairs.
Caroline shot up and her breathing came out in short pants. "Hello!" She yelled getting up out of her bed and slowly walked to her door. She opened it slightly and peered out into the hallway. "Aunt May! Is that you!" When she got no answer she opened her door all the way and started walking towards the stairs. She stopped at the top of the stairs and looked down but she couldn't see anything because it was so dark. She flipped the light switch but the light didn't turn on.
"The power must be out." She thought. She went to the end of the hall and looked out the window and there was a bad storm. The rain was coming down pretty hard and the wind was blowing pretty fast. "Why didn't I hear it?" She thought and jumped when it thundered out, followed by a strike of lighting. She heard something make noise downstairs again and she took a flashlight from their supply closet and headed down the stairs.
She cautiously turned the corner when she descended the last step and started walking towards the kitchen where she thinks she heard the noise. "May!" She said and she saw some sort of light and heard someone speaking from the living room. She slowly made her way there and peered into the room and saw the TV on. "If the power is out how is the TV on." She thought. Logan Fell the local news anchor was talking about some kind of attack.
"This is Logan Fell live from the streets here in Mystic Falls with breaking news of another deadly animal attack. The wild animal terrorizing the citizens of Mystic Falls has claimed another victim and possibly three more as well." A gasp left Caroline's mouth when she saw three pictures pop up onto the screen. There was one of Bonnie, Elena, and Jeremy. "The police say right now they can not find these three teenagers, their family said they went missing two days ago when they went to a friends party but right now we have the name of the victim that was found dead this morning around nine by two police officers."
Caroline stumbled back and her heart was beating like a drum when a picture popped up onto the screen. "The animal claimed fifteen year old Caroline Forbes. She was a freshman and a cheerleader at Mystic falls high school." Caroline was no longer listening to the TV and was looking at the floor. When she stumbled back she stepped in something wet. She shined the flashlight down onto the ground and there was blood. She stumbled back into the hallway and tried to slow her breathing down.
The blood led to the kitchen and she slowly followed it. She saw some sort of figure sitting at the table. "May? Is that you?" The figure didn't move so she moved the light from the floor to the figure, she dropped the flashlight and let out a loud scream that radiated through the quiet house. Jeremy was sitting in the chair with his neck cut and blood dripping from it. Caroline turned around tears falling from her eyes and ran to the front door. She tried to pull it open but the door seemed to be stuck. She heard movement behind her and she quickly turned around. She saw a figure standing in the entrance if the kitchen.
"Who are you?" She said. The figure didn't say anything but took a step towards her. "Don't come near me!" She yelled. The figure continued to walk towards her and she ran up the stairs and and made it to the bathroom and saw Elena on the floor blood dripping from her neck. Caroline screamed and turned back towards the stairs and saw the figure coming up the stairs. She made a run for her bedroom and she quickly shut the door and locked it.
She fell back against the door and let out deep shaky breaths still crying. She didn't know what was happening but all she knew is that she needed to call the police. She made her way to her dresser by her bed to get her cell phone. She started to crawl over the bed to get her phone when she felt a body. She jumped back and saw Bonnie on the bed with blood coming off of her neck and stomach. She screamed and ran over to her. "Bonnie! Wake up! Bonnie!" She yelled.
The door knob started to jiggle and Caroline's head shot up. She stood up and looked around for anything to use as a weapon. She didn't own anything to harm someone so she ran to the window and opened it. She crawled out and kneeled on the roof. The wind blowing her hair everywhere and the rain pouring so hard she was instantly soaked. There was a loud thud and she looked back to her room and the door was broken down and the figure...no a man was looking around.
"He looks so familiar!" She thought. He was familiar to her though because it was Damon Salvatore but she didn't know that. The mans head snapped over to the window and he started to run over and Caroline let out a terrified scream. She stood up and went to the edge of the roof and the man tried to climb through the window. She looked down and decided the only way to get help was to jump. It wasn't that far of a fall but far enough. She looked back over her shoulder and the man was almost the out of the window and now was her chance. She closed her eyes and jumped.
She landed with a hard thud and a strangled cry left her throat. The wind was knocked out of her lungs and she found it hard to breathe. Her eyes traveled back to the window and the man was no where in sight. Caroline slowly got up and looked around. She had to get help. She started to run down the sidewalk when someone grabbed onto her from behind and bit down on her neck, she screamed. Her world was slowly started to fade and the last thought her mind left was Stefan.
At the Salvatore Boarding house
Stefan's pov:
Stefan sat up in bed and a loud gasp left his throat. That was the worst dream he ever had. "Bad dream?" Damon asked. Stefan looked up and saw him sitting at his desk with his feet up looking amused. "You know how easy it was to get in your head? You really need some human blood it might even the playing field!" He said starting to smirk. "Football reference...too soon." I vamp speed out of my bed and grab a knife on the other side of the room and through it at Damon. It lands in his chest a little below his heart.
He simply just looks down and stands up. He then grabs a hold of the knife and pulls it out. "Alright I deserve that but I just wanted to let you know they caught the animal responsible for the death of coach Tanner and all those other people." He said. "What are you talking about?" I ask confused and angrily. "A mountain lion! A really big one! It attacked a hunter this morning, it's all over the news. Deadly Beast Captured All Is Well In Mystic Falls!" He says gesturing with his hands.
"Why would you cover your tracks?" I ask. "I've decided to stay awhile and I'm just having way to much fun here with you and Elena...and...Caroline!" He says smirking. "Can't touch touch them now.." I say. "Well the vervain keeps me out of Caroline's head. Maybe that's not my target and Elena doesn't have vervain on her. Unless...you gave her some." "I may have but someone has to look out for them!" I say slyly. "That's fine because some girls believe it or not Stefan don't need my persuasion." He says walking towards me.
"Some girls can't resist my good looks, my style and my charm and my ability to listen to Taylor Swift." He says and quickly stabs me with the knife. I fall to the floor grunting and I try to pull it out. "This is John Vervatos dude dick move!" He says walking out. I finally get it out and I pull up my shirt and see the wound slowly heal. What am I going to do about him? I get up and make my way to my dresser to change. I pull a pair of Jeans on and throw a shirt on and go and sit down at my desk and turn on the TV.
"I can confirm that a 12 foot puma mountain lion attacked a hunter this morning but it was shot and killed!" The sheriff told the interviewer. "The real animal is still out there challenging me wanting me to fight back but how am I supposed to stop him without becoming a monster myself." I wrote in my journal. I close it and get my jacket and decide to get some food at the Grill and then head over to Caroline's.
At the Forbes Residence
Caroline's Pov:
I was sitting down in the kitchen with the TV on listening to the news and cleaning some old heritage stuff for the Founder's party display when May walked in. "Hey kiddo! What are doing?" She asked. "I'm cleaning this stuff up for the heritage display. Dad said he would loan it to Mrs. Lockwood." "Hey is this great grandma sally's antique necklace!" She said grabbing the necklace from the box and observing it. "Actually it was great great great great grandma Lucy's necklace that great great great great grandpa George gave to her as a gift for their wedding anniversary." I tell her. "Uh...I never knew that." She said.
We both burst out laughing and the phone started to ring. "I got it!" She said. "Okay!" I reply and finish cleaning an old pocket watch and putting everything back in the box. I pick it up and go upstairs in my room. I go to my closet and start looking through my dresses that I could wear tonight for the party. I hear the doorbell ring and run down the stairs and open up the door. Tyler was standing outside looking nervous to be here. "Hey...why are you here?" I ask him calmly. I am still mad at him for beating up Jeremy and Stefan at the football game. "Uh...my mom sent me to pick up the stuff for the heritage display!" He says.
"So...your mom made you her own personal lap dog again!" I say giggling. "Yes doesn't she every year!" He responds also laughing. All of a sudden he stops laughing and looks very serious. "Hey...uh...I want to apologize about what happened at the football game. I was being a dick and..." "why did you do it?" I interrupt him. "I don't know...I guess I was jealous and...listen I'm trying. It's not easy because I will always love you. I just wish I could get over you like how your over me." He says adverting my gaze and it looks like his eyes are filling with tears. "It took me awhile to get over you!" I tell him my own eyes filling with tears.
"But I will never not love you, you will always have a special place in my heart." I continue. He looks back up at me and smiles. "Me too! But I will try to move on!" He says and I smile back at him and push my tears away. "Okay come on in. I just have to run up to my room and grab the stuff!" "Okay." I nod and walk up the stairs to my room. I walk over to my dresser and pick up the box when I see someone standing out in the front yard looking up at my window. "Hey did you find it!" I let out a gasp and the box fell to the floor everything in it went all over the place. "Whoa are you okay?" I turn back to my door and see Tyler standing there looking concerned. "Uh...yeah...um...just thought I saw something.." I tell him and bend down starting to pick up the things on the floor.
He comes over and helps pick up the stuff too. "Sorry!" I tell him. "It's okay." He responds. We finally pick everything up and stand up. "Thanks..I should head over to Elena's and pick up the things she has for the display." "Yeah sure!" I respond and we walk down the stairs to the door. "Okay...I'll see you and your family tonight." I tell him. "Yeah see ya!" He says and walks out the door getting into his truck. He starts up his truck and waves to me. I wave back and when he drives off I see Stefan walking up the sidewalk. "Hey!" He says smiling. "Hey!" I reply.
"Was that Tyler?" He asks me. "Uh...yeah. He had to pick up some stuff for the heritage display for the party tonight." I tell him as we walk into my room. "What party?" "Um the founders party!" I tell him. "They still have that?" He asks. "Uh...yeah. You've been before?" "Uh...no the Salvatore's don't get invited anymore." He responds. "Oh..well I got to go there's the heritage display and it meant a lot to my parents, so I kinda of have to go and..." "Caroline...Ms. Forbes can I take you to the party tonight." He interrupts me smiling.
"I would love you to take me to the party Mister Salvatore!" I say smiling. "So do you look good in a suit?" I ask smirking. "Well...I think I look pretty sexy in a suit if I do say so myself.!" He says teasingly and walks over to me where I was sitting on my bed. "Do you?" I ask also teasing. "Yeah!" He says leaning down and captures my lips in a soft kiss. We pull away after a few moments and we smile at each other. I lean forward and let our lips meet again and he gently pushes me down so I'm laying on the bed now and he hovers over top of me.
I push him over so now I'm on top but didn't break the kiss. I pull my lips away from him and start kissing down his jaw and neck. He pulled my face back up and kissed me. He used the distraction and pushed me back underneath him. He then started to kiss my neck until he quickly pulled away and I saw the same discoloration in eyes like I did at the falls. He turned around with his my back to me. "Are you okay?" I ask. "Uh..yeah." He says turning back around to me.
"Maybe we should put a pause on that. It was kinda of getting..." I say trailing off. "Yeah well I should probably get back home and find a suit to wear tonight...and you should get ready." He tells me. "Okay dad!" I say laughing and getting up. "Wow you really just said that!" He says also laughing and getting up and letting me lead him down the stairs. "Yeah sorry!" I say feeling embarrassed and my face was probably getting really red. "It's okay! I find it cute!" He says with an adorable smile and gives me a soft kiss. "I will see you later!" He says walking out the door. "Okay bye!" I call out and shut the door. I let out a big smile and walk back upstairs to find a dress for tonight.
At the Salvatore Boarding House
Stefan's Pov:
I walk through the door and see Damon holding Zach up by throat. "What's going on?" I say. Damon turns back to look at me and drops Zach smirking. "Nothing...nothing at all. Just spending some quality time with Zach here!" He says walking away. "Are you okay?" I ask Zach as I walk over to him. "No and neither is anyone else in this town. We have to do something to stop him before he hurts or kills someone else." "I'm working on it." Are you? Uncle Stefan we have to do something now!" He says. "I know I want to too but I'm not as strong as him!" I respond. "I think I have something that will help." He says quietly and motions me to follow him. He lead me down to the basement and opens up a door and inside is a lot of vervain.
"Where did you get all of this?" I ask him. "I have my ways." "Why are you showing me this?" "Because I trust you and I know you will do whatever you can to protect the people you care about." He tells me and walks away. I stand there for awhile and know I have to do something tonight and put Damon away. I walk back upstairs and go to my room. I find a suit and some shoes for tonight and start polishing my shoes when Damon walks in without a shirt on. "Do they still wear ties to this thing?" He asks me.
"Why are you even going?" I ask. "It's only fitting we were at the first one remember?" He says. "I thinks it's better if we don't draw attention to ourselves." I tell him. "Good idea!" He say putting a black shirt on. "You stay here and I'll make sure Blondie has a good time!" He says smirking. I pick up my drink and take a sip. "My goodness I've driven you to drink." He says to me. "Well I can't seem to rid myself of you so what else am I supposed to do other than live my life." "Go about living my life." Damon says mockingly. "See there lies your eternal struggle...your dead dude get over it." He continues.
"You know it cool not growing old...I like being an eternal stud!" He says putting a nice suit jacket on. "Uh...yes being a 150 year old teenager has been the height of my happiness!" I tell him and raise my glass and then drink the rest of it. "You cracked a funny Stefan!" Damon says smirking. "I should have a drink to celebrate that." He continues and takes my cup and walks over to the table where the burban was. I turn around and see him pick up the pictures of Katherine and Claudia. "Ah...1864 you and Claudia we're the perfect couple!" He says.
"Well in 1864 you and Katherine were the perfect and oddest couple." I tell him. "Yeah well that was after Katherine arrived. You know it was hell watching you dance with Claudia." He says sadly. "My happiness was short lived as you know." I tell him and turn back around continuing to polish my shoes. "I know! I left the party early I was waiting for her. The night you drooped her off, I was waiting just inside and you were such a gentleman giving her a kiss on the cheek. We all know she really wanted you, not me...oh well. Here's to history repeating itself." He says smirking.
I turn back around and watch him. He goes to drink the Burban but instead pours it on the floor. "I admire your effort Stefan, pouring yourself a drink and then spiking the bottle. I'm not some drunk sorority chick you can't roofie me but I can't help feel a little used. I thought we we having a moment uh...now I have to go to the party angry...who knows what I'll do."he says and walks off. What am I going to do about him? I have to come up with something.
At the Forbes Residence
Caroline's Pov:
Bonnie, Elena, and I were sitting in the kitchen doing our nails for the party. "So what are you guys not telling me?" I ask them. They've been acting weird ever since they arrived. "How about we tell you tomorrow so we don't ruin your night?" Elena suggested. "Both of you spit it out now!" I point at them. "Well if I tell you you can not tell anyone because Brittney will kill me if it gets back to Damon that she squealed and Elena isn't even supposed to now either so..." "Okay I won't tell. I promise!" "Fine apparently Stefan has a very interesting back story." Bonnie says. "Okay?" I say. "Do you know what happened with his last girlfriends Claudia and Katherine?" Elena asked me.
"Uh...I know Damon and Stefan both were with them and they couldn't choose so that's why they have issues." I told them. "Yeah they were both with them but Claudia and Katherine chose Damon and that made Stefan mad. Since he was mad he did horrible things to try to get at least Claudia back. He manipulated Claudia, filled her head with all these lies until it worked...and she turned against Damon." Bonnie said. "Yeah...well that sounds like one person's side of the story...and that's Damon's." I tell them. "We just wanted you to know!" Elena said. "Whatever happened in his past is none of my business." I tell them. "Unless he's a calculating manipulative liar!" Bonnie blurts out. "Stefan is not like that!" I tell them. "Yeah? How do you know?" Bonnie asked me. "I don't!" I say sadly.
"Let's just drop this conversation and go get our dresses on." Elena suggests. We all agree and we head up to my room. I put on a light blue dress with a floral pattern. I pull a short white sleeve cardigan and a cute medium blue scarf. I get Elena and Bonnie to help me with my hair. We do a French braid crown and put light curls in the rest of my hair. Elena wears a cute light peach dress and Bonnie wears a white dress with pretty floral patterns on it. We head out to the car and make our way to the party. Stefan and I agreed we would meet each other there. I just can't get what Elena and Bonnie said out of my head. I didn't really know Stefan that well but what if they were right? What if Stefan actually did that or is Damon lying? If I ask him he would probably change the subject unless I try to ask Damon. Maybe I have to do that.
