I know I named the previous episode Epilogue, I originally planned to end the story there, but after I was done I came up with some good Ideas on what would happen next. At first I thought I should start it as another story, especially because there's a slight change on main characters but I decided against it feeling it could cause a confusion for anyone trying to read it that hadn't red the previous version. Anyway, here is the start of Part two.


Sara stared at the body on the examination table; the official report said the cause of death had been physical trauma from falling off a seven-story building. Dr. Robbins had attributed the bite marks to some sort of torture previous to the murder. She knew better of course, she had seen those bite marks before; in fact she had seen them everyday on her arm for the last twelve months.

"We don't know for sure" Katherine replied when Sara went to her with her suspicion of a vampire.

"We don't know for sure?" Sara argued, "I know the teeth marks, remember?" she pulled up her sleeve to make her point.

"You've come up with vampire suspects at least twice a month since you learned about their existence"

"That's because before then, I didn't know they could be suspects"

"What I'm trying to say is that vampires aren't that common, I spent 15 years between the two times I actually saw one"

"But Greg is still out there, he could come back anytime he wishes"

"Yes, that is a possibility, but odds are he won't come back to a city where he is wanted for seven counts of murder and the entire police department knows his face"


Sara was sitting on her couch, Grissom was away on another expedition and she was left alone to ponder as she waited for her pizza to arrive. She pulled out the brochure for the Spring Mountain treatment center where Nick was staying, she wondered if she should be there as well.

The doorbell rang and she quickly stood "Coming!" She shouted as she reached for the money she had left aside, "that was quick…"

"Hello Sara"

"Greg" Sara said coldly, slowly she stepped away from the door, "What are you doing here?"

"I was in town" he smiled, "I thought I should drop by and say hi"

"You can't come in, you're not invited"

"So you know?" Greg smiled, "You always were very clever"

"How long?" Sara asked.

"Excuse me?"

"How long did you have us fooled?"

"Only a day or so" he replied, "I was new, I didn't know how to control my self"

"And you do now?"

"You'd be surprised by what I can do now"

"What about Nick?"

"What about him?" Greg asked calmly.

"What you did to him, he's been in a mental hospital for the last twelve months¡"

"Yes well, I guess that was unfortunate…for him at least"

"Unfortunate?" Sara frowned, "Don't you at least feel sorry?"

"That would require me caring" Greg begun to step away backwards, "I just came here to warn you, I'm going to be in town for a couple of weeks" suddenly his eyes turned red as he showed his fangs, "Do not get in my way!"

And just like that, he was gone. Sara quickly closed the door and sat on the floor, her back against the wall she begun to cry, never taking her eyes off of the door.


Sara stepped out of the bus and looked around, this was definitely the place Katherine had described. Not knowing where to go first, she headed to the first place she saw open, a local bar and grill cleverly named "The Grill".

She sat down on the bar and ordered some fries and a beer, "Excuse me, would you happen to know where I might find a woman by the name of Elizabeth Forbes?" she asked a young waiter.

"You mean Sheriff Forbes?" the young man corrected her, "She's probably out on patrol, but that's her daughter over there" He pointed to a teenage blonde girl who was waving fare well to another two teenage girls.

"Um…thanks" Sara walked up to the girl before she could leave, "Excuse me" she wasn't sure of what to say, she decided to start by something simple, "I was told you were Sheriff Forbes's daughter"

"That is correct" the quirky teen replied, "Caroline Forbes, at your service" she said politely.

"Your mother sold a friend of mine a very special herb, I was hoping she could sell me some"

"Wait, you mean vervain?" the girl frowned.

"You know about vervain?" Sara asked surprised.

"It's either that or you're accusing my mother of being a drug dealer" Caroline replied, "If you're asking for vervain that means you know about vampires".

"You know about vampires too?" Sara was surprised that such a young girl would know of such a thing.

"Maybe I can help" Caroline held her hand, "Tell me why you need it"

The two of them sat at a table and begun to talk. Caroline listened closely as Sara told her story; she explained what had happened with Greg and Nick, and how she needed vervain to keep him away from herself and the other CSIs.

"Maybe I can help" Caroline said as she stood, "But there's something I need to do first, When are you leaving?"

"I was hoping tomorrow morning, why?"

"Are you staying somewhere?"

"I saw an Inn down the road, I was thinking of getting a room there"

"Good, I'll meet you there tonight, I'll explain everything then"


Sara answered the door and found Caroline standing outside her hotel room, "You're back" Sara said happily, "Did you get the vervain?" she asked quickly.

"I managed to get some, but I doubt it will be enough for you to give to all of your team" Caroline pulled a small box and handed it to Sara.

"It's better than nothing" she smiled, "How much do I owe you?"

"I'm just helping" Caroline replied, "I couldn't put a price on the lives of others"

"Thank you, you have no Idea how much this means to us"

"There's one more thing, there might be away to help your friend Nick, though I'm not sure you'll like it"

"Anything!" Sara quickly replied, "If there's the any way to get Nick back, we'll try it. Just tell us what we have to do"

"You can't do anything, but maybe I can"

"You? how?"

"There's something you should know, but please, don't freak out" Caroline stood between Sara and the door, "I'm a vampire"

"You're a…" Sara frowned, "But the vervain and the help…"

"I'm a good vampire" Caroline added, "I haven't drank blood directly from a human in almost two years now, usually I drink from, donor bags or wild animals"

"So it's possible?" Sara wasn't letting her guard down, but if Caroline was capable of helping Nick, she would do anything. "There are good vampires?"

"The hunger for blood is a strong sensation, most vampires shut off their emotions to deal with the regret of killing, but others learn to control their hunger and we don't have to kill or even hurt other people. We're like everybody else, we laugh, we cry, we…love" she finished with a whisper and Sara couldn't help but feel sorry. All of a sudden Caroline was back to her quirky self, "So to answer your question; yes, there are good vampires"

"And you can help Nick?"

"I think so"


The nurse shut the door behind her, leaving Sara and Caroline alone in the padded room with Nick. Sara had decided not to tell Katherine of her plan, she wasn't sure if she would approve of working with a vampire, but if Caroline could help Nick, she had to give it a try. There was nothing left to loose.

Nick was sitting in the middle of the room; his arms were crossed around his legs as he rocked back and forth, back and forth, back and forth. He was still murmuring the same words.

"…shouldn't have come, don't go looking, shouldn't have come, don't go looking…"

"Nick" Sara placed her hands on his back; he looked up to her and smiled but continued swaying himself as he repeated his phrase.

"…shouldn't have come, don't go looking, shouldn't have come, don't go looking…"

"I brought a friend here to see you" she whispered, "She's going to try and make you feel better"

Caroline knelt in front of Nick but before she could so much as say a word Nick backed away screaming into a corner, "I didn't go looking! I didn't go looking! I didn't go looking"

"He knows you're a vampire" Sara frowned; "Let me try to calm him down" Caroline placed a hand on her shoulder and stopped her.

"Let me" she said. Calmly she walked up to him and knelt down before him, he was cornered so there was nowhere for him to go. "Look at me Nick" She said as she stared directly into his eyes, her compulsion working it's way into his mind, "Calm down"

Nick settled down obediently, but in his eyes Sara could still see he was afraid of Caroline.

"I'm not going to hurt you" the blonde vampire added to her order, "I need you to relax"

Nick let his arms slump onto the ground as he obeyed her command.

"Good, now listen to me closely, I need you to be brave she said as she placed her forehead next to his, I need you to take me to the day when you talked to Greg. Take me to when Greg attacked you"


Caroline stood at the front porch of a house, the front door had been ripped of it's hinges and lay broken on the front yard. She tried her step at the frame and found that she could enter. To her left she saw a living room, to people lay dead on the floor. The once white carpet was now crimson as the bodies bled from their thorn limbs and heads.

Suddenly she heard a low thud coming from the second floor. Carefully she climbed up the stairs, once on top she heard low whispers coming from a room to her left. Slowly she approached the room; inside Nick was laying on the floor, blood oozing from a wound in his neck. Above him a blonde man was whispering in his ear.

"You shouldn't have come here Nick" she heard him whisper, "don't go looking for me anymore" the scene continued to play over and over again before her eyes.

"You shouldn't have come here Nick; don't go looking for me anymore. You shouldn't have come here Nick; don't go looking for me anymore. You shouldn't have come here Nick; don't go looking for me anymore. You shouldn't have come here Caroline"

Caroline gasped as the man lunched himself against her, pinning her against the wall. "Now you won't go looking anymore!"

"I've been a vampire longer than you!" Caroline shouted as she forced his hands off her neck, "I'm stronger than you" she said, finally releasing her self.

"Are you" Greg said as he held his hand out towards her, there were five feet of space between them yet Caroline felt as if he were choking her, "You can't defeat me here Caroline" he raised his hand and Caroline begun to rise up against the wall until her head was touching the ceiling, "You shouldn't have come here Caroline; don't come looking for me again or I will kill you" Greg opened his hand and Caroline felt her self fall.

She fell straight through the second story floor, and through first story floor; through the basement and through a lab; through a hospital and then through a park; she continued falling through scenes and memories until she fell back out of Nick's mind.

"…shouldn't have come, don't go looking, shouldn't have come, don't go looking…" She heard Nick say. His arms were back around his legs and he was rocking himself back and forth.

"What happened?" Sara asked when she saw Caroline stand.

"He was too strong" Caroline frowned, "He shouldn't have been that strong"

"So you can't help him?"

"There is another way but…"

"Anything!" Sara interrupted, "Do whatever you must but please, make him better"

"Are you sure?" Caroline asked.

"Yes, please"

"Very well" Caroline lifted the arm of her blouse and took a deep bite off of it, rapidly she placed her arm up against Nick's mouth and before Sara could even comprehend what she was doing she broke Nicks neck with a swift movement of her arms.

"No!" Sara shouted, "What are you doing?"

"What you asked" Caroline replied calmly, "I'm making him better"
