Oh no you don't
I wanted to thank all those who have reviewed and followed! I am so happy you all enjoyed the last chapter! I've been away from my laptop for a few weeks so I haven't been able to update.
You must not lose
Faith in humanity.
Humanity is an
Ocean; if a few drops
Of the ocean are
Dirty, the ocean does
Not become dirty.

"So what's the plan?" Caroline asks her hands folded across her chest. She sat at a table with Elena and Damon trying to plan a way to lure Katherine out.
Her feet were propped up on the table while Damon paced running a hand through his hair.
"Can I ask you guys something?" Elena said from the chair next to Caroline.
"Go ahead," Caroline said watching Damon pace back and forth.
"How are we going to get Katherine?" She says her eyes following Damon's annoying footsteps.
"Will you stop it!" Caroline yells at Damon who stops in his path, "it's annoying. Plus, to answer your question Elena I know how to get Katherine. We'll use Elena as bait because Katherine has been following you. We set a trap for her and then we you know," She made a motion of slicing of her head.
"Yeah we get it all right," Damon said clenching his teeth.
"What's got you in a foul mood?" Caroline said taking her feet off the table. She stood up and walked towards him ignoring Elena's confused look.
"Does this have anything to do with your love for Katherine?" She whispered, "If it does I won't kill her. You can have her all to yourself but stay the hell away from me. I don't think I'd be able to be nice to her for more than 30 seconds," She says quietly. Damon shakes his head clearing his throat, "Elena are you in?" She nods her head standing up quietly, "What about Stefan?" She asks quietly.
Caroline laughs, "I took care of him don't worry about it. He's down in the cellar pumped with vervain," She grabs a map and places it on the table. She grabs a red marker from her back pocket, drawing a circle in the middle.
"This is where we'll be holding Elena," She then draws another circle further away, "This is where we'll negotiate with Katherine while Damon take Katherine to this location," She says pointing to another circle. "Damon. You'll distract Katherine while I take Elena to the old church with the spell that keeps vampires inside. Once Katherine comes to get Elena she'll step inside the tomb and viola. We have our Katherine!" She says holding her hands in the air with a huge grin.
Damon sighs but nods slowly, "It may actually work. It's that crazy it might just work," He smiles before hugging Caroline tightly, "Thanks goldilocks!" He turns to each other and raises his arms in the air, "Let's kill that psycho witch!" before walking back to his bedroom. Caroline turns to see Elena's eyes following him with both longing and concern. Caroline snaps her fingers, "Eyes back up here. Stefan is my best friend even when I'm humanity less. You break his heart I'll break yours literally," She hisses at Elena. Elena nods before running out of the room towards her car. Caroline laughs when she hears the engine accelerate. She walks into the kitchen to find Uncle Zach at the table with a newspaper in his hands. He looks up spotting Caroline, "Care to tell me why Stefan is locked in the cellar?" Caroline just shrugs sitting beside him. She's wearing black jeans and her shirt for the Grill. She has to leave in a few minutes but maybe she should explain to Zach why is ancestor is locked downstairs. "We have a plan to kill Katherine and Stefan doesn't want to go through with it," She says propping her head on her hands. She runs them through her long blonde locks.
"How long does he have to stay in there?" Zach asks with a curious look.
"Couple of days until we lure Katherine out," She says with a wink before standing up and grabbing her leather jacket.
"Does this have anything to do with your relationship?" He calls out after her.
"Shouldn't mess with Caroline," She said walking towards the door. When she opens she finds Tyler standing there with flowers in his hand. He's wearing a tux and holds a black bag under his arms.
"What are you doing here?" She asks frustrated, "I've got to go to work," She says pushing past him. He grabs her arm pulling her to a stop, "You actually don't. I asked little Gilbert to cover you shift. We really need to talk," He said smiling sadly at her. She runs a hand through her hair before walking back inside. He follows her to the living room where Damon is standing.
"This must be the ex-boyfriend," Damon said with a glass of bourbon in his hand.
"Who is he?" Tyler asks Caroline as she takes a seat.
"Tyler Dickwood meet Damon Salvatore. Salvatore meet my cheating ex-boyfriend. Now that that's out of the way what do you want?" She asks massaging her temple.
"I wanted some privacy," He said glaring at Damon who was smirking at Caroline.
"Damon, please," She asked meeting his eyes. He nods before whispering in her ear, "Stefan's going to break free in 5 minutes. He can here you and clearly doesn't like Dickwood, nice touch by the way, so I'd hurry this up," He said before walking to his room.
"You've got one minute," She says resting against the couch.
"Actually you don't," She turns to find Stefan in the door way.
"What the hell is wrong with you? One brother not enough? When you're done with these assholes give me a call. I could probably screw you harder than them whore," Tyler shouts at Caroline walking towards the door. Caroline sits with her mouth gaping open trying to comprehend what he just said.
"That does it," Stefan said punching Tyler hard in the face. Tyler stumbled backwards holding his face in his hands. Caroline stood up ready to walk over to Tyler before Zach held her back. She turns to see Damon holding Stefan back, Stefan barely able to control his anger. If Zach hadn't stopped her she would have been dead. She shrugs Zach of before walking over to Stefan. "Stefan look I'll turn it on," She said feeling the emotions over powering her, "Help me through this Stefan. He's not worth it," She says feeling guilt piling on top of her. Stefan's eyes slowly became filled with compassion and worry before looking over shoulder at Stefan.
"Tyler," Caroline said turning around, "Please leave before I call your mother and tell her what you said. I have three witnesses here who heard what you said and I may actually get you," She said before pointing to the door. "As if I would accept your apology. I don't date Sophie's cheap seconds," She shoves him out before closing the door behind her. Stefan looks at her with a confusion in his eyes, "Can somebody please tell me what is going on?"
