The Augustine's
Caroline POV
I groaned in pain as I sat up. I had been positioned at a bad angle, so now my neck hurts, and on top of that I had been stuffed with vervain like a Thanks Giving turkey. I looked around and saw cells. I saw no one, and wondered what had happened. Maybe they rescued Enzo? I thought. I smelled the room. Someone had been in here recently, and they smelled like a vampire, so I was guessing they failed. Did they know I was gone? What the hell happened to Jeremy? I took another whiff in, and smelled what I had been confused about. Blood. Specifically human blood, just like jeremies. What happened to him?
"Hey! Hey! Dr. Creepy Frankenstein!" I shouted. My throat was dry from lack of blood, but it wasn't the end of the world. Dr Wes approached my cell, staying a safe distance away. He gave me a confused look as if to say what gives?
"You need to let me out! And what the HELL happened to Jeremy! You… you say you knew my Dad? Yeah? Please, as a friend of my Father's let me go!" I said. He smiled, pulling out a dart and stuffing it in a gun.
"Subject is a bit desperate." He said, just to spite me, before shooting me. I felt the lights go out and felt literally helpless. This was the worst.
(A few hours later)
I gasped awake and felt anger. I observed the area and saw a man, with olive skin like Katherine's. He could have been the male version of Katherine, god.
"Good to see sleeping beauty has finally decided to grace me with her presence." He said, looking down at me as I sat up.
"Who are you?" I asked, almost fearfully.
"The names Enzo." He said, holding his hand out through the bars to me. I looked at it skeptically, before shaking it.
"Hey, do you know... have you seen kid, brown hair, brown eyes, and pale skin? May or may not answer to the name of Jeremy?" I asked. He raised an eyebrow.
"Well. One of my friends wanted to rescue you, so me and this kid, Jeremy, decided to help. I was supposed to distract Dr. Frankenstein While Jer got in here and rescued you." I said with a defeated sigh.
"Hm. Well earlier today this, as you call him, Dr. Frankenstein shot a human boy in the chest. Seemed fairly dead, but what do I know?" Enzo asked. My eyes widened at this. I was captured and Jer died? So pretty much mission fail? Oh my GOD!
"WHAT! No, Jeremy can't be dead! He… he can't. Oh my, god, Elena turned a few weeks ago, what is she going through? Then there's poor Bonnie?" I said, mostly talking to myself as I huddled in a corner.
"Give it a few weeks you'll get used to life here." Enzo said, rather bluntly.
"No, I'm in here! That means they'll come to rescue us!" I said, mostly trying to convince myself.
"Yes, then we'll all live happily ever after in rainbow land, where the sun is always shining bright and happy." He said sarcastically. I sighed, frowning.
"They'll come. They have to. I believe they will." I said, this time confidently.
"That's exactly what Damon, my old friend said, the first few months. After around the first year he had lost all hope on his brother rescuing him. Shame." He said.
"Stefan didn't even know he was in here, and Stefan was probably pulling his life together from when Damon made him go on a ripper binge" I said, positive that was it.
"How do YOU know them?" He asked scooting closer to my cell. I gulped, trying to maintain a confident face.
"Yu know, you seem nice. I hope for your sake they do rescue you before the Augustine's completely destroy you." Enzo said. I sighed, huddling in a corner. Enzo was a bit blunt, but he didn't seem awful. It must have sucked having to have been tortured for so long. Was that my fate? The question continued to echo in my head.
Klaus POV
I sat in a bar, laughing with my old friend Marcellus. He was on about the werewolves or something, trying to convince me to keep them out of the quarter. It just didn't seem right…. I had worked my way up to trusted ally with him, and would hopefully have my kingdom back by next month at this rate. I had done well in the last few weeks, with not thinking of her too much. Of course she still managed to weasel her way into my head, especially when I was around that blonde therapist who just happened to remind me of my sweet Caroline. But she's not. That annoying voice Caroline had resurrected always piped up whenever I compared the two. They were the same yet so different. There was only one blonde who would be in my heart for eternity. The other just happened to be a distraction. And a bad one at that. I rubbed my head, feeling visions appear. I saw Caroline, screaming, crying, I felt vervain in my lungs, and saw a blonde man, cutting open Caroline. I only saw short visions, but one thing I knew. Pain. I knew it was there. But could this be a ploy to get me to come back? Had she conjured up these visions from her imagination, just to get me to come back? I growled.
"Klaus? You okay man?" Marcel asked. His voice and that charm merely angered me more, so I stood up from my stool and walked out.
"I need to make a call." I muttered. I dialed my dear brother Kol's number, and thank god he picked up on the last ring.
"Nik? What's up? You finally decide that you don't need to ignore your own family just because we hang around Caroline?" Kol asked sarcastically, a bit bitter about how I had been avoiding him. I sighed angrily.
"Where's Caroline, Kol?" I asked in a bored tone. I could picture his confused face.
"Caroline? She's at college for a few days, checking out the campus with the rest of the Scooby gang. She's been there for a few days and isn't scheduled to come back till tomorrow? What's wrong, Nik?" Kola asked. He didn't sound too worried.
"Nothing. Never mind, I have to go." I said. I heard Kol's shouts, asking me to wait, but ignored it. I walked back into the bar and focused on getting drunk. Maybe that'll get rid of the bad feeling I have.
Kol POV
I walked back into the room, turning my phone off. Nik had bloody hung up on me. I saw Katerina, as she always was, on the couch, feet propped up in a way that made her legs look even better than they did with the heels, and sipping on a glass of wine, entitled as always.
"What's Klausy up to? Still ignoring you?" Katherine asked, downing the rest of her glass and moving on to bourbon. Good idea. We'll need to be drunk to talk about Nik and his issues.
"Why? Trying to figure out why Elijah always ignores you?" I asked, my voice dripping with sarcasm and venom. She frowned, before slamming her glass down. I thought she was going to fight with me, but she surprisingly picked up her purse. Always a runner.
"Go to hell." She said, before storming out. I sighed, rubbing the back of my head. I should probably go after her. She was literally one of my only friends outside of my family besides Caroline, who could barely look at me without sobbing because I reminded her of Klaus.
"Wait!"I shouted, rushing after her. I grabbed her arm. And she froze, fixing me with a glare.
"I'm… so- I'm Sirr- I apologize." I said choking on the word sorry. There was a short list of words I never could pronounce, and that was on it. She sighed, her glare softening.
"Yes, Nik is ignoring me. Now would you come back inside? I'm sorry I made fun of 'Lijah's bad use of a phone." I said angrily. She laughed at that, pulling her bag up on her shoulder.
"I don't know, I mean we should probably be driving to the college to get to Caroline… see what mortal danger my carbon copy managed to get her into this time." Katherine said sarcastically.
"Maybe she bored her to death?" I suggested as we passed along jokes about how god damn boring hat doppelganger is.
"Bloody hell, I'm pretty sure the Mona Lisa is more entertaining than her!" I said.
"No but seriously we should probably get to the college. If Caroline is yet again trying to get in touch with Klaus we're probably going to get blamed if we don't go and try to console little miss broken heart." Katherine said.
"Why the hell would Nik leave us, the two most uncaring and unemotional people on this planet, literally, to protect a broken hearted teenager? I understand that we can protect her best, as long as we aren't drunk, but damn, he expects us to protect her AND comfort her? That was always Bekah's job!" I exclaimed because seriously, yeah we won't mind killing anyone if they get in the way but she's a mess and her so-called-friends can't understand because they hate Klaus and are too busy worrying over the doppelganger to care!
Caroline POV
(1 week later)
I screamed in pain. The doctor wanted to see how much pain we can take before passing out, so he decided to torture us. He gave us so little blood every day that we couldn't sleep, because it took nearly every painful night for us to heal. Is this being human felt like? The whole slow healing? I had only been here a week and I felt like I was going to die. Enzo was nice company, always finding new creative and innovative ways to get my mind off of the painful healing taking place in my body. I'd say we've come a hell of a long way since last week. I can see why Damon wanted to rescue him. He seemed like he didn't deserve this. Yeah he was probably a murderous killer when he wasn't in here, but who the hell cares! I had been trying to reach Klaus all week, but he had been pushing even harder to keep me out. I had even pushed through until I was literally giving myself an aneurism. I think I had gotten a few images through, but it was going to be a serious boy who cried wolf scenario, considering I had done this around 3 other times in the past.
"So gorgeous tell me about the New Year. The styles. The people. The technology." He said excitement in his eyes.
"Depends on where you are, but as you can see from my outfit this century isn't exactly slut shaming girls for showing a bit of ankle." I said sarcastically.
"Sounds fantastic, but personally I'm a neck person." He said, playfully checking out my neck. I laughed dryly.
"Damn. You're Edward Cullen in the body of Jacob." I told him. He laughed, looking down. We had covered twilight a few days ago.
"Are you really going to tell me that every day?" He asked. I nodded, sticking to that joke that he doubted anyone could do. He rolled his eyes. And I smiled at him before continuing to tell him about our time.
Damon POV
I stared at the lifeless body of Jeremy Gilbert. Our hunter. Our only way to the damn cure. He was dead in a dumpster, bullet wounds decorating his chest. Elena was behind me, sobbing while Bonnie tried to console her and Stefan and I silently, with our eyes tried to deal with what was happening. I gave Stefan eye-motions to deal with Bonnie, while I tried my hand at consoling Elena. Bonnie seemed angry, and my brother was calm, usually neutralizing anger. Elena was sad. I just needed to give her some drive and she'll be pumped and ready to save Caroline and resurrect Jeremy. I picked Elena up bridal style and carried her to the dorm. I just needed her to get through today. Then we could rescue Caroline. I couldn't imagine the hell she was in. and it was my fault. I sent her and Jeremy on that stupid mission. It was my fault. Now they were gone. I knew we would rescue them. We had to.
"I can't, I can't!" Elena sobbed, gripping my shirt until it nearly ripped.
"Elena, don't do anything irrational! If you want them both back we need to stay focused and do something we'll regret!" I told her. She continued sobbing.
"Don't you get it? Their gone! Caroline's probably being killed as we speak and you can't just bring back the dead Damon!" She sobbed. I sighed. This would be harder than I thought. So far the pendulum was leaning more towards emotionless Elena than towards driven ready to save the word Elena. Yup. This sucked.
Hi! I know this chapter is a bit choppy but I had to add in what everyone's thinking. Just so you know that Koltherine moment is strictly friendship and anything else is not happening. They are both stuck in mystic falls and are both manipulative calculative psychopaths who take great pleasure in sarcasm, mean jokes and killing. Yeah. And if Kat and Lijah are to work out in the end she'll need to tolerate his siblings. Right? Any who Yeah. Enzo in the story. I love the Carenzo friendship. I have watched season 5 and 6 over and over just to see emotionless Caroline Bamon friendship and carenzo. Yup. What am I doing with life again? Just kidding, but seriously please review and tell me what you think and if you have any ideas to make this story better or to help me tie in better to canon or if I missed something…. Yeah you get the point.
