"Yes!!! Turn it up!!" Rebekah had compelled the barman to lock up and give us all free drinks, he would probably be fired for this but what a time we were having.

"Shots!!" Rebekah waved me over to the bar and we took some shots, flipping the glasses upside down.

"Rebekah, this has been the most fun I've had in months!!" She laughed and grabbed a couple of bottles, waving me with her.

We left and the bar fell quiet as people came out from her compulsion, she didn't care. I took the bottle she was holding out and grinned feeling buzzed.

"Where are we going?" She shrugged, rolling her head back on her shoulders. "Anywhere, couldn't keep compelling your eyes back to normal" I laughed loudly and she joined with a beaming smile. I don't think I'd ever saw her really smile.

"Caroline" I turned to see Elena and smiled a little, shifting my weight "hey?" She took a couple of steps closer but something was wrong here. I heard a yelp and Stefan was holding up an unconscious Rebekah.

"Why did you have to let them do this" i turned back to Elena, my heart beat starting to pick up but I held back as much as I could.

"We can't let you rip apart our world.. your power isn't natural and was never supposed to be yours. Why couldn't you just stay away?" A smirk crawled onto my lips and Damon slammed against the floor before he could grab me.

Rebekah jumped up and snapped Stefan's neck with ease, walking over to Elena. I stopped her and shook my head making her growl but stop.

"What was the plan here, Elena? Are you going to kill me?" She glanced at the struggling Damon still pinned with a force I didn't even know I had.

"No.. were letting Bonnie help yo-"

"I don't need help from people who would hurt me, Elena.. I made this choice, why does this effect you?!" She laughed like I was stupid.

"Your too powerful, Caroline!! It's not natural" Rebekah chuckled taking the whiskey from my hand.

"And is it natural to drink human blood, Elena? Is it natural to be moving 50x faster than a bullet? Is it fucking natural to be stronger than any other living being?! None of this is NATURAL!!!!"

She took a step closer to me with pleading eyes "please just come back with us, we want our Caroline" I frowned "you don't think I'm me?"

"You aren't" I just stared. This was my best friend. One of the only people I've ever needed.

"She's more Caroline than she's ever been" Rebekah pointed back to me with her thumb "the only thing that's changed is her abilities. She's still Caroline"

"Look at her!!! She isn't our Caroline" I laughed, the alcohol only adding to the ridiculousness of this.

"You know what, I don't care what you think of me! I'm not evil, Elena" I took a step closer to her, a smirk playing on my lips.

"But if you and your two boyfriends try to hurt me again? Me being evil won't be your issue anymore" I lifted the power holding Damon to the floor.

"Take her home, before we can't go back" Elena shook her head at me "you've changed Caroline"

"YES! Because I don't need to live crippled by fear! I'm not waiting for YOU to bring some fucking war with the super natural straight to my door!! Elena, maybe you should take a look around. You're planning on forcing me to do something simply because you don't know anything about it. Where is the sense in that? I guess Tyler told you everything, i bet he didn't tell you that I only got like that because the power is tied to my emotions and I still fucking love him!! I'm still me!!!"

"Caroline you've let them turn you into a monster.. look in the mirror" I frowned, remembering my eyes are black and horrifying.

"She isn't a monster" Tyler appeared a bit away, keeping his distance.

"And if you ever use something I've told you against her again I'll rip your throat out myself" Damon snickered and took off running for him but I threw him back, shaking my head calmly when he looked up at me.

"Not very smart, Damon" he gritted his teeth and my jaw fell "oh shit! This isn't because I'm not Caroline anymore, this is because I'm more powerful than your little play things!!!" I looked at Elena, genuinely shocked.

"That isn't true. You're in danger" Tyler walked over to her, stopping near us.

"Nobody cares, Elena. She's invincible" she just shook her head at him, a sad smile on her face. She was convinced.

"Elena I can heal people.. I can keep the people around me safe, I can't die and I've never felt more like myself. If you don't like this then.. stay away from me, I'll stay away from you"

"I can't let this go, Caroline" I shrugged, taking the whiskey from Rebekah "Ok, next time you ambush me? I'll not be held responsible for my actions" I looked at Rebekah and waved down the street.

"After you?" She bowed making me laugh and started walking but I stopped, looking at Tyler.

"Thank you, I miss you" he smiled, genuine love in his eyes. "I miss you too, Car. So much" my heart skipped and I smiled back, clearing my throat.

"Ehm.. I'll see you around?" He nodded and I backed off, quickly looking at Damon "remember, no man left behind" I bobbed my head to Stefan and grinned as Rebekah belly laughed behind me.

"So!" She elbowed my ribs, grinning "did the distraction work?" I nodded laughing "Yes! I feel so happy, considering" she laughed and took the whiskey, happily grinning at me.

"Lets go home"
