Hey readers! Here's the next chapter. I combined the next two episodes in order to make a longer chapter instead of two short ones. Hope you like it! :)


While You Were Sleeping


"…obtained from Nadia Petrova's blood." Dr. Wes' voice spreads through the abandoned lab from the voice recorder.

"Oh my god." Caroline mutters from hearing that Elena was infected with werewolf venom.

"So werewolves are real? I always thought that was, you know, a joke." Enzo said startling Caroline causing her to whip around.

Caroline stares on confused at the stranger, unaware of his intentions.

"Enzo. Don't be an ass." Charlie says coming up behind him.

"Charlie?" Caroline exclaims racing over to the girl and throwing her arms around her. "Where have you been? You just disappeared after the bitter ball."

Charlie laughs and hugs her back. "Ran into some… complications." She said not really knowing how else to describe it. "This is Enzo." She introduced her boyfriend to her friend.

Recognition crosses Caroline's face and she smirks over at Charlie.

"The Enzo." Caroline taunts.

"No the other one." Enzo jokes.

"Hush." Charlie fake scolds. "So, are you here for the reason I think you are?"

"Well, that depends on why Enzo is here?" Caroline said. After she had heard about the things Enzo had done, she wondered what Charlie saw in him. And her being Caroline, judges at first sight, or hear?

"The same reason you are." Enzo answered. "I want this vampire-feeding virus out of our lives."

"Why? You want your killing buddy back?" Caroline said with hostility causing Charlie to lightly roll her eyes at her friends judgy and totally expected behavior.

"Damon mentioned you get a little judgy." Enzo commented.

Charlie smirks at her friend remembering the other vital piece of information Damon told her. "He also said that you have a thing for accents too?"

Caroline looked down shyly at what Charlie was implying.

"Hey, I don't blame you. Accents are hot." She said glancing at Enzo who was smirking at her. "I'm more hurt at the fact that you didn't tell me. I mean, I had to find out from my brother."

Caroline winced at her accusing tone. "I know. I was going to tell you. I just never found the right time."

"No matter. Water under the bridge. But next time you hook up with an immortal hybrid I want to know about it. Anyway, we all know we're here for the same thing. The antidote." Charlie said and glanced at Enzo again. "And we can get it."


"Please tell me that's some good news." Elena said over the phone on which Stefan is talking to Caroline.

"Bad news… It's not the same virus." Caroline said disappointed.

"What is it?" Stefan asked.

"Dr. Creepenstein was working on the next phase of the virus. When Nadia was sick, he was experimenting on her blood and he figured out a way to extract the werewolf venom from her blood and put it in the virus." Caroline explained.

"Wait… what do you mean 'werewolf venom?' That means it's fatal." Stefan said causing Elena to freak out.

"Hello! You don't think I would just drop this on you without a silver lining! There's an antidote. It just requires you to come meet me. I'll text you the address."

"Or you could just bring it over here." Stefan said.

"No. You have to go there. And don't ask me why, because I can't tell you." Caroline told him with a sigh.

"Caroline… this doesn't make any sense… Just tell me exactly…"

Caroline sighs in frustrations. "If I could tell you, don't you think I'd be there right now to help Elena? I'll text you the address!"

"I'm not going anywhere until you tell me what is going on." Stefan said stubbornly.

Charlie, fed up with Stefan, grabs the phone from Caroline.

"For god's sakes Stefan. Just get over here!"

"Charlie?" Stefan asked confused.

"No, it's Damon. Yes, Charlie!"

"What are you doing? Why haven't you called me? You were supposed to let me know when you got out!" Stefan scolds his twin.

"I'm sorry. I was too busy saving our asses. Now get over here. The travelers don't want anyone to know what they're up to, and they won't give us the antidote without you. Just get there fast okay?" She said and hung up, not waiting for an answer.

"I swear, when it comes to stubbornness, Stefan and my father are one in the same." Charlie mutters mainly to herself.

"You're no different sweetheart. When you have your mind set, there's no changing it." Enzo said to his girlfriend.

"That's not…" She trails off seeing the look both Enzo and Caroline are giving her. "Fine." She concedes.


"He'll tell her." Stefan said about Damon when he met Caroline, Charlie, and Enzo and the abandoned train station.

"When?" Caroline asked.

"'Hey Elena, I killed Aaron.' It's not exactly casual conversation." Stefan said.

"Killing someone in cold blood isn't casual, but Damon managed that just fine." Caroline argued.

"Or I can just tell her…" Enzo speaks up. "Considering I was lying in the road when he stopped the car."

"Yeah about that Charlie…" Stefan said ignoring Enzo. "I'm not sure if I like you with this guy. It's like he's getting Damon to undo every positive decision he's ever made."

"I have several arguments about that statement dear brother." Charlie said. "A.) I have never judged your past relationships, and trust me you made some bad ones, so don't judge mine. I'm a grown woman and can be with whomever I very well please. B.) Regardless of Enzo's or even my influence towards Damon, we all know he was going to act out in some way. That's what happens when he's hurt. And finally, C.) Aaron was the final stop on his list for revenge. I think after being captured by the Augustine's for five years, he had a right to finish things the way he wanted. Now that I've said my peace. Leave it alone. We need to get to the real reason we're here." Charlie said and motioned her head towards a group of travelers.

Stefan, unable to argue with what Charlie said, turned his head towards the group.

"Who are you?"

"I'm Sloan. And you met some of the travelers when they were taking a bucket of your blood." Sloan answered.

"Oh yeah. How could I forget? So, you have the antidote to the ripper virus, correct?" Stefan asked getting straight to the point.

"We do, thanks to Enzo's contribution."

Stefan and Caroline look at Enzo confused.

"Charlie and I were trapped in that bloody farmhouse, set to get our heads ripped off, when Wes shows up with the travelers and saved our lives, in turn that one of us give our body to science. He was running low on vampires and he needed to continue his work. So, not letting Charlie do it, I let him experiment on me. Among other things, it allowed him to make an antidote." Enzo explained from his spot next to Charlie.

"When he died, the travelers took it. And seeing as Elena is valuable to us, we're in the process of using Wes' resources to find a cure for her virus as well." Sloan said.

"Enzo and I tracked them down for the antidote. They wouldn't hand it over unless you agreed to help them." Charlie told her brother.

"Alright. Fine. What do you need?" Stefan asked.

"When need to find another one of you." Sloan said, surprising everyone.


"What do you mean, there's another one of me out there?" Stefan asked confused.

"We never stopped to think there might be another doppelgänger running around. We hadn't been caught up on the doppelgänger lore. But I've learned a few things. Mainly that the last remaining pair of doppelgängers are special." Charlie explained.

"Special how?" Caroline asked confused.

"None of your business." Sloan snapped.

"Watch it." Charlie snapped back.

"You'll have to excuse Sloan." Enzo said. "She's under a bit of stress. The leader of the travelers, Marcus was it?"

"Markos." Sloan corrected.

"Markos, wants the blood from the last remaining pair of doppelgängers, i.e. you and Elena." Enzo said.

"Why?" Caroline asked.

"They're special. And before you ask, we don't know." Charlie told her. "We've learned that the travelers are very secretive. What we do know is that until the last pair of doppelgängers are out of the picture, your blood, mixed with Elena's doesn't do squat."

"So what? You do a locator spell until you find this guy and then you kill him?" Stefan asked.

"It's more of a linking spell." Sloan said.

"The last time a witch linked me to my doppelgänger, she fried my brain and I lost my memory." Stefan argued.

"Then we better be careful."


"Look, I know there's a lot of them, but between the four of us, I bet we can take em." Caroline said to the group who were talking privately before walking towards the travelers.

"Did you really just say that?" Stefan asked surprised.

"Ugh. Sorry. I'm desperate." Caroline defended.

"It'll be fine." Stefan said.

"Yeah, until you lose your memory again."

"Look Caroline. I don't like this anymore than you do." Charlie said. "But if we don't find this other doppelgänger, neither Damon nor Elena will get the antidote." Charlie sighed. "I just wish there was another way. I mean, who volunteers themselves for witchy electric shock therapy?"

"Me. And I would do it for either of you too. Well, except Enzo." Stefan mocked.

"Cheers mate." Enzo said and wrapped her arm around Charlie's waist.

"Look, let's just say that they do fry my brain." Stefan said.

"I'll kill them." Charlie said simply.

"I'll help." Caroline offered.

"Right, and then you, Caroline will spiral out of control, and you Charlie will drive yourself crazy trying to get my memory back. So when you both inevitably lose control, remind me, that I love you both." Stefan said by the time they reached the travelers.

"That's for you. Sit." Sloan orders Stefan towards an old car seat.

"Where are the antidotes?" Stefan asked.

"You'll get it when we're done." Sloan said.

"That's not how this works." Charlie told her.

"You'll hand them over right now. I'm here, I'm doing everything you want me to. Now hand them over." Stefan ordered her.

Sloan finally gave up and handed the antidotes to Charlie. Charlie looked back at her brother, not wanting to leave him.

"If you want to stay here sweetheart, I'll make sure they get them." Enzo told her.

"I'll be fine Charlie. Go with him." Stefan told her, not trusting Enzo.

"Thanks for the confidence mate." Enzo said.

"I still don't trust you."

"I'll stay with Stefan, Charlie. Don't worry." Caroline told Charlie calmly.

"Fine. Call me if something happens." Charlie said and walked away with Enzo.

"He's going to be alright gorgeous." Enzo said grabbing her hand and lacing their fingers together.

"I just worry ya know? Especially after what happened last time." Charlie muttered.

"We'll get these antidotes to their rightful parties, then we'll come back and you can see for yourself that everything is fine." Enzo consoled.

"I love you." Charlie said suddenly.

"I love you too, beautiful." Enzo said back and kissed her forehead.


Enzo and Charlie made their way back to Stefan after getting the cure to Damon and Elena. Caroline called them and told them what needed to be done.

Charlie found Caroline crouched in front of an unconscious Stefan. She made her way up into the train car and crouched next to Caroline.

"How is he?" Charlie asked.

"He hasn't woken up yet." As soon as Caroline spoke, Stefan started to groan and blink his eyes, waking up. "I'll give you two a minute." She said and left the siblings to talk.

"Hey." Charlie said.

"Hi." Stefan says confused until recognition crosses his face. "Rebekah, hi."

Charlie's eyes grow wide in shock, before Stefan says. "Kidding! Lexi, right?"

Charlie pushes Stefan and says, "You were funnier the first time big bro."

"Charlie." Enzo said from outside the car, not wanting to interrupt the siblings, but knowing they needed to leave. "We need to go."

"Did I miss something?" Stefan asked.

"Sloan was going to fry your brain to kill your doppelgänger. Caroline stopped them. So now Enzo and I are going to go deal with it." Charlie said.

"You mean… kill him?" Stefan asked, again.

"Duh." Charlie said obviously.

"You can't do that Charlie." Stefan tries to stop her.

"They only want one alive, Stefan. It's either you or him. It was a pretty easy decision."

"Fine. But take Caroline with you." Stefan tells her.

Charlie sighs. "Not this again. Stefan, you can trust Enzo. We'll get this done, and finish this."

"Please? I'd feel better. My head's already in shambles, you wouldn't want to push me into oblivion with worry for you do you?" Stefan said, giving his version of puppy eyes.

"You've gotten better at guilt over the years. Fine, I'll take Caroline with me. Maybe when she tells you that Enzo's fine you'll believe me. I really wish you wouldn't be so hard on him." Charlie lightly scolds.

"You're my little sister Charlie. It's my job to be protective. Until he passes my tests, he doesn't get the okay. Right now he gets the maybe." Stefan said, although it would take a lot for his opinion on Enzo to be swayed.

Charlie stuck her tongue out at Stefan childishly causing Stefan to laugh. "Love you." She said and stood up to leave the car.

"Love you too. Be safe." Stefan said.

When Charlie and Enzo's backs were turned, Stefan sent Caroline a look. A look that said, 'trust me' and 'we'll talk soon.'

One things for sure, all of them were tired of the word 'doppelgänger.'


Rescue Me


Caroline, Charlie and Enzo had made their way to Atlanta and were currently in a dinner, trying to plan their next move.

Caroline and Charlie sat on one side of the booth, while Enzo sat on the other. Enzo kept nudging Charlie's foot, trying to play an adolescent game of footsy, just to bug her.

Charlie's phone started buzzing on the table with an incoming call from Sloan, but Enzo beat her to it.

"Atlanta assassination squad." He said, causing Caroline to look around in caution and Charlie to narrow her eyes at him for answering her phone. "How may we be of service?"

"I take it you haven't located the doppelgänger yet?" Sloan asked.

"You told us to find a nameless paramedic at the scene of a car accident in a city of freeways, fried green tomatoes and terrible drivers." Enzo said. Charlie laughed under her breath and Caroline even quirked a smile. "It's not exactly as easy as it sounds."

"Which is why I'm calling, the doppelgänger's name is Tom Avery. And I just saw him deliver a patient to Atlanta Metropolitan Hospital." Sloan said.

Caroline and Charlie's eyebrows come together in anger.

"She did the vision thing again?" Caroline asked while Charlie grabbed the phone from Enzo's outstretched hand. He was already handing the phone over, knowing Charlie was going to yell at Sloan.

"We had a deal. I find Stefan's last living doppelgänger-"

"Tom." Sloan interrupted.

"Tom. Whatever." Charlie said. "I… deal with him," She said quietly, being conscious of the human presences around her. "and in return, you stop using Stefan to psychically doppel-bomb him! Because every time you link the two of them together, you are frying Stefan's brain."

"I don't give a damn about his brain. It's his blood that matters." Sloan said. "And until Stefan and Elena are the last two doppelgängers on Earth, their blood is useless to me. So you better believe I'll give Stefan a back alley lobotomy if you fail to kill Tom Avery."

"I don't fail at things. I've been told I'm stubborn, and when I set my mind to something, I don't stop until I succeed. So do it again, I'll kill everyone last one of the travelers. Starting with you." Charlie told her sternly and hung up the phone tossing it down on the table.

Caroline looked at Charlie surprised and Enzo gazed at her in admiration.

"I'll kill the travelers, starting with you." Enzo said bringing Charlie's attention to him. "You're like a perky, sexy, blonde angel of death. I love it. Kind of scary." He smirked at her.

"Just don't get on my bad side and you'll be fine." Charlie said.

"What if I want to get on your bad side?" Enzo flirted, forgetting Caroline's presence.

"Okay. Save it for the bedroom. We have a doppelgänger to find." Caroline said pushing a laughing Charlie out of the booth.


Charlie was talking to the receptionist at the hospital while Enzo and Caroline sat in the chairs, Caroline looking at a magazine, ignoring Enzo's presence.

"Okay, I give up. I can't tell if you're avoiding the mission, or me." Enzo said to her.

"Well why can't it be both?" Caroline asked.

"I don't see why you're so hostile. I mean, I did help obtain the antidote and hand-deliver it to Damon and Elena, which in turn kept them from consuming each other… literally." Enzo defended.

"That doesn't mean I trust you. I just don't understand why you're even here. Charlie and I could've done this with or without you." Caroline said.

"Considering Charlie's my girlfriend and I care about her well-being, that's one reason why I'm here. Plus, with Damon trying to be a good boy, Charlie and I need a third for our murder group."

Caroline gives him a look.

"I'm joking! A joke… British humor…" Enzo said but Caroline ignored him.

Enzo grabs a magazine to keep himself busy until Charlie got back.

"Ahh, modern women." Enzo said noticing the women in the magazines. "All bosom, no mystery. That's one I think I love about Charlie. She's sexy and seductive, but still conservative and modest. She leaves things to the imagination. Not letting anyone see what she's hiding except me."

"Dear god!" Caroline exclaims and closes her magazine. "Can you please stop. I don't need to know what you think of my best friend's body. To be honest, I don't know what she sees in you anyway."

"I'd only assume it's the same thing you saw in that hybrid you hooked up with. If you could feel something for him, why can't Charlie feel for me? I mean if you think about it, we're almost the same. Well-traveled, charming accent, dodgy morals…"

"Arrogant, tactless, completely unable to keep comments to yourself." Caroline interrupts. "I don't see how Charlie ever fell for you."

"To be honest I don't either. I'm the luckiest man out there for earning her love. She was brought into the Augustine's and then…" Enzo trailed off not knowing what to say.

"Let me guess. She made you, want to be a better man?" Caroline mocks.

"Not at all." Enzo said staring lovingly at his girlfriend who was talking to a doctor. "She just… reminded me that I was good all along."

Caroline was left speechless. She may not see any qualities worth falling for in Enzo, but it was obvious to her the love they had for each other.

Charlie looked over and motioned with her head for the two to join her.

"You were asking about Tom Avery right?" The doctor asked.

"Yes. We need to see him as soon as possible. It's a matter of life or death." Caroline answered.

"I wish I could help. Tom Avery was a pain in my ass, but he was also the best paramedic I ever met."

"What do you mean 'was?'" Enzo asked.

"He disappeared four months ago. No one knows where he is." The doctor answered.

The three vampire's shared a look of 'oh great.'


"I hope you're calling me to tell me the doppelgänger is dead." Sloan answer's Stefan's phone.

"Your stupid doppel-visions gave us bad information. Put my brother on the phone." Charlie orders Sloan. The three are standing in a waiting room in the hospital, trying to figure out where to go next.

"Charlie, what happened?" Stefan asked when Sloan put the phone on speaker.

"Tom's been missing from the hospital for months. Is there anything else you may have notice in your visions – places, landmarks, any small details that could help us out?" She asked hopefully.

"No. I can't remember anything. After the spell happened, it's like I blacked out."

"The link connects us to the doppelgänger's mind. If we're seeing old memories, that means we have to go deeper." Sloan says and prepares to dive back into Stefan's mind.

"No. No. No. If he's blacking out, then the link is destroying his memories. You can't…" Charlie is cut off by Stefan groan in pain.

"Stefan! Stefan?! Can you hear me?" Charlie asked worried drawing Caroline and Enzo's attention.

"What's going on?" Caroline asked.

"She's frying Stefan's brain." Charlie tells Caroline. "Stefan, just listen to my voice okay? I'm still here. Just hold on." She tries to comfort Stefan.

"Can you hear me?" Charlie asks once his groaning stops and it's silent. "Stefan? Say something, please!?"

"I'm here Charlie." Stefan says out of breath.

Charlie and Caroline let out a breath of relief.

"6643 Peachtree Drive. There was, uh, a redheaded woman. Her name was Hazel." Stefan explained.

"Thank you. I'll get this done and then I'll be home and we'll get you out of there. I promise." Charlie insisted.

"Don't worry about me just stay safe." Stefan assures her. "Hey, can I talk to Caroline for a second?"

"Yeah sure." She said and handed off the phone to Caroline. Enzo wraps his arms around her and the two walk away from Caroline, out of hearing range.

"Hey, Stefan. What's going on?" Caroline asked confused.

"Caroline, he's a good person. You can't let Charlie kill him. Find another way."

"Clock's ticking." Sloan says before she hangs up the phone.

Caroline is left to think about what Stefan said. She knew what she had to do.


"It's a miracle we found the place." Enzo said as he, Charlie, and Caroline approach an old, beaten down house at the address Stefan told them. "Every other street in this blasted city is Peachtree."

"These look old." Caroline said looking at the mail. "Like, four months old."

Enzo attempts to open the door, only to find it locked.

"Seventy years in a cage… You'd think I'd learn to pick a lock by now." Enzo jokes.

"Not funny." Charlie said, giving him a stern look.

"Sorry gorgeous." Enzo apologizes before breaking the handle off of the door causing it to swing open.

Inside the house, a witch is sitting in the middle of the house, surrounded by candles and salt, with her eyes glazed over in a trance.

"Red hair… that's her. She's a witch." Caroline points out.

"Not for long." Charlie says and goes to walk in the house, only to be kept out by a barrier.

"And she must own the house." Caroline points out, again.

Charlie steps back and Enzo tosses the door knob in the air.

"Not for long." He mocks Charlie. He throws the door knob with force at the witch, killing her and effectively destroying the obstacle keeping them out.

Charlie tilts her head to the side and Caroline's eyes widen in surprise.

"Is it wrong that I'm mad I didn't think of that myself?" Charlie asked causing Enzo to wink at her.

Caroline, however, is not as impressed. "Why did you do that? She was our only lead!"

"Exactly. And I am a murderous vampire. Surprise!" He quips and follows Charlie into the house.


"She was in a bloody trance, unable to answer questions." Enzo defends as the three stood over the body of the dead witch. "I don't see why you're mad. I'm only doing what's necessary to save your friend, because you won't."

"You don't think I'm up for this?" Caroline asked.

Charlie looks at her. "Come on Caroline. I know you. This isn't your thing."

"I'm sorry, but is all of this supposed to be easy. I'm a good vampire. I don't just go around killing people!" Caroline insists.

"I didn't say you weren't a good vampire Caroline. But sometimes you hesitate, I've seen you do it. Hesitation can get you killed, and in this case, Stefan killed. Now I don't know about you, but I'm not willing to let that happen." Charlie stated.

Caroline was quiet, not knowing what to say and before anyone can break the silence, they hear a soft thud-thud, thud-thud, thud-thud.

"What's that sound?" Caroline asked.

"The tell-tale heart." Enzo smirks

They followed the sound down to the basement where they find the 'not-so-one-and-only' Tom Avery, unconscious, and attached to IV's.

"Why would a witch go to such lengths to keep a man alive and off the grid for four months?" Enzo asks.

"Four months ago, Silas died." Caroline said.

At Enzo's confused look, Charlie specified. "The original Stefan-gänger."

"He's a dead ringer, all right. Or rather, soon to be dead." Enzo said.

Caroline walked up to and unconscious Tom and crouched down by his side. "Tom? Tom? Tom Avery?"

"Caroline come on. I'll do this. Just go upstairs and we can get this done." Charlie insists.

Before Caroline can answer, Tom sits up suddenly and starts pushing and tearing at the tubes on his face.

"What's happening? Who are you people?" He freaks out.

"We're angels mate, come to deliver you to the sweet hereafter." Enzo jokes. Charlie hits him in the stomach and Caroline sends him a look.

"Calm down. You can trust me." Caroline compels him.

"Caroline stop. The more you bond the harder it is, now let's just-" Charlie is cut off when Caroline whips around and breaks her neck suddenly.

Before Enzo can react, she snaps his neck too causing Tom to look on in fear.

"What's going on?" Tom asked.

"I'm getting you out of here." Caroline said and they walk out of the house, stepping over the two temporarily dead bodies. Caroline just hopes Charlie will forgive her.


Charlie groans, coming back to life and feeling a pain in her neck. She sits up, rubbing the sore spot and looks around to notice Enzo waking up too. However, she doesn't see Caroline or Tom. Fantastic.

"What happened?" Enzo asked sitting up too.

"Stefan got to her." Charlie said, finally understanding why he wanted Caroline to go with her, and why he wanted to talk to her earlier. "She was never here to help."

"I knew she was a bitch." Enzo states. At this moment, Charlie can't really argue.

"Come on. We have to find them." Charlie says and stands up to leave the basement.

"How? We don't know where they are." Enzo said following her up the stairs.

"Knowing Caroline, she's going to send him away. Get him out of town so we can't find him. We just have to stop her before that happens, and then maybe break her neck so she knows how it feels." Charlie said angrily.

Enzo smirks, "I love it when you're vengeful. It's kind of a turn on."

Charlie shakes her head at his antics and the two head out to find Caroline.


They find the two in an underground parking lot.

"I don't think I've ever eaten so much in my life." Tom said happily.

"Yeah. I don't think anyone has." Caroline agrees walking ahead of him.

"I guess it was a fitting last meal." Charlie says and races over to Tom, breaking his neck and killing him before Caroline can stop her.

"No!" Caroline tries to protest but it's too late. "Why the hell did you do that?!"

"Because Caroline. It needed to be done."

"How could you kill him?! He looks just like your brother." Caroline tries to guilt her.

"Exactly, Caroline!" She exclaims, while Enzo stands back watching, knowing this was her fight. "Looks just like Stefan! But he's not. It was either him or Stefan, I chose Stefan. I'd choose Stefan any day over someone who looks like him. I did what I needed to do to save my brother. That's something you clearly don't realize." She said angrily and walked away.

Caroline and Enzo stare after Charlie's retreating figure.

"It's what Stefan wanted. How could she do that?" Caroline asked Enzo.

"Because unlike you Caroline, she's willing to do whatever it takes for the people she loves. Something I admire about her. The travelers moved to some junk yard outside of Mystic Falls. Feel free to tell Stefan that you failed at what he sent you to do." Enzo said and left to find Charlie.


Enzo and Charlie sat in the same diner they were in earlier. Charlie was still in thought and hadn't said much since her encounter with Caroline. Enzo wanted Charlie to get her thoughts together before they headed back to Mystic Falls.

"You did the right thing Charlie." Enzo consoled and reached across the table to grab her hand. "It was either Tom or Stefan and you chose your brother. No one can blame you for that."

Charlie sighed. "I know. I mean if I had to do it over, I'd do the same thing. As long as Stefan's sa-"

Charlie was interrupted by her cellphone ringing with a call from Stefan.

"Hello?" Charlie answered.

"Hey. Caroline told me what happened." Stefan said.

"You mean how you sent her after me to keep me from killing someone like the monster I am? Thanks. Didn't need the reminder." She said shortly.

"You're not a monster Charlie. I know you only did what you did for me, but he was a good person."

"And so are you." Charlie argued. "Why would you even send Caroline, knowing I was going to kill Tom anyway? That's what I'm mad about. You knew I would choose you over him, so why even try and stop me?"

"To be honest, I don't know. I knew you would kill him in order to save me, because that's what you do Charlie. You do whatever you have to do in order to save the people you love. You watch out for me. I can't be mad at you for that, I just wanted you to know that. You're my sister Charlie, I love you, and I want to thank you for looking out for me all these years. Even though I should be the one looking after you." Stefan told her sincerely.

Charlie smiled. "I'm not dead, so I'd say you've done a pretty good job so far." She joked causing both Stefan and Enzo to laugh. "I'll be home soon. And tell Caroline I forgive her for breaking my neck."

"Be safe. Wait, what-"

"Love you!" She said quickly and hung up. Caroline can explain that one.

"Feel better sweetheart?" Enzo asked her.

"Much." She smiled then sighed. "Let's go home. I have this weird feeling that killing that doppelgänger was part of something bigger."


Please review! Tell me your thoughts and feelings! haha :)
