Unfreezing Time: Chapter12

A/N: Chapter twelve! Yeah. I know I'm late on updating, but my internet is messed up so I don't know when the next time I'll be able to update. But I'll atleast try because I'm really getting into this story. ;)

I'm so happy with how many people like my story! I'm also happy that I've gotten more than one hundred reviews! Thanks for all of the author alerts/favorite story alerts etc. I'd also like to say thanks to my awesome reviewers!: Hellzz-on-Earth, 1beaut, Danielle Salvatore, jimi18, ShyButterflyKiss, Vie, Infrena, FiestyEva, mehr03, Lady Krystalyn and Lula6791. Sorry if I forgot anyone or didn't write your name down. Like I said before my internet isn't working and it's just a long story..

Hellzz-on-Earth: Lol. Your review had me cracking up. Yeah I guess it doesn't matter if the evil didn't reach Elena's eyes because she did betray them all so she deserves something worth her while. Stefan will find Caroline and she will be okay. You'll read about it in this chapter. You've actually gave me a really good idea about Bonnie countering the spell. The other witch is actually related. It's Lucy. I've mentioned her only once in chapter ten I think...Katherine was talking to her on the phone, I didn't write down their conversation because I thought it would be obvious that Lucy would be the one to cast the spells.. You're so welcome! I love updating. :)

1beaut: Your review definately made me laugh. But you do have a good point. Thank you Katherine and Elena! Haha. And you're right because we'll see some more closeness. Thanks for the review! :)

Danielle Salvatore: That is so funny that you say there was a conversation on Fanpop on what would happen between Bonnie and Damon if they got stuck in the tomb together. I actually got inspired from when Stefan and Katherine got stuck in the tomb in episode ten. I kept saying to myself what the heck would happen if Damon and Bonnie were stuck in the tomb together? I was actually thinking about writing a seperate story for it, but I didn't want to because I have so many other stories that I have to update, so I added it on to this story for more drama and . I will try updating soon! Oh and thanks for the review, sorry for my babbling!

jimi18: Thanks! I'm happy you think this chapter was good! :)

ShyButterflyKiss: Well actually, Lucy's the one who did the spell..I know I really didn't explain it that well but it was in chapter ten I think were Katherine's talking to Lucy on the phone...I thought it would be kind of obvious, but I guess not because more than one person has been asking. And that's a very good question because Elena doesn't even know Damon's dying. She hasn't found out yet, but someone will be sure to say something to Elena about it, I just don't know when. Thanks for the review!

Vie: Hehe. I know right? Can't be mad at what Katherine and Elena has done to poor Damon and Bonnie...all stuck in a tomb together...alone. ;) Thanks for the review! And don't worry the Bamon should blossom soon!

Infrena: I actually didn't exspect Damon and Bonnie to get captured in the tomb together either until episode ten of VD inspired me. Haha I guess you can hate Elena and Kat for what they did because they deserve it. And yes there will eventually be more Bamon interaction. Thanks for reviewing! :)

FiestyEva: Yup, I'm so behind on my Bamon stories I don't know if I'll ever catch up! But I'm trying to make a goal for myself and finish reading them all before Newyears...I don't know how that's going to turn out. Anyways I had to make a way for Bonnie to tell the difference between Elena and Katherine so I thought a ring would do the trick. Damon's definately right that the future was changed by the little twist of plans that happened. Don't worry Bonnie's alright, she's a strong witch...but she just got knocked out for a little bit... :0 I know everyone wants to know where poor Caroline is! You'll read about it in this chapter. And you're right, with Damon and Bonnie stuck in the tomb there is much for Stefan and Caroline to handle with all the weight now being put on their shoulders. Of course Damon is starting to feel a little something for Bonnie with all of their banters. lol. I'm glad you like my story! I'll try to update soon. :) (Sorry for me rambling on and on...)

mehr03: Really happy and glad that you liked this chapter! I'll try updating soon! You're welcome and thanks! :)

Lady Krystalyn: Glad you liked the twist because I had fun writing it ;) With a devistated witch and a hopeless, angry vampire...anything can happen with them stuck in the tomb. Dun dun dunnn! lol. You're welcome! I would never kill off poor Caroline. She's one of my favorite characters! You'll find out where she's at in this chapter. Don't worry, she's safe. Thanks for the reviewww!

Lula6791: Thank you so much for the review! You really make me feel appreciated. And I know how it is..trying to catch up on reading. I'm probably more behind than you are because I have about twenty something stories to read. lol. But thanks once again for the review! :)

Disclaimer: I never really write this, but I'm guessing by now that everyone knows that I don't own the vampire diaries or the characters...hopefully Bonnie and Damon will be together! Oh and I don't own Bruno Mars' song Grenade either...darn..

"Easy come, easy go. That's just how you live oh. Take, take, take it all, but you never give. Should've known you were trouble from the first kiss had your eyes wide open. Why were they open?" Damon sang out loud to himself. Bonnie layed on the opposite wall in a deep slumber. He watched her move from side to side, snuggled deep in the heavy blankets that Stefan had brought. Damon took a sip out of the glorious alcholic beverage.

"Gave you all I had but you tossed it in the trash. You tossed it in the trash yes you did.." Damon trailed off. He had no idea why the heck he was singing, let alone that type of song, but he was. He continued watching Bonnie on end as if she were the t.v.

Bonnie's eyes bolted open as she raked the blankets off of her and started looking around in panic. She started fidgeting with the cold dirt ground and the cave-like walls of the tomb as if she were trying to find a way out. Damon just smirked to himself, sipping away on his precious bourbon.

"You know you're stuck in here right?" Damon spoke up, seeing Bonnie snap her neck around and face him as if she just figured out that he was in the tomb with her as well. Bonnie instantly propped herself up more and unwrapped herself from the warm blankets.

"No Damon there has to be some way out. I'm a witch. I can't be stuck in here for the rest of my life and die a lonely death!" Bonnie stated over dramatically. Damon shot up a brow.

"Bonnie, you won't be stuck in here for the rest of your life and die a lonely death." He took another gulpful of his drink. Bonnie tilted her head to the side.

"Really? So you think we're going to find a way out?" Bonnie said, full of hope. Damon threw the now empty bottle, watching it shatter without a care in the world.

"No Bonnie I didn't say that. I meant that you probably will be stuck in here for the rest of your life but you won't die alone because you have me." Damon stated with a smirk. Bonnie shook her head back and fourth. She couldn't believe this. Damon didn't care. He didn't care that they were stuck in the tomb. In the worst of all situations if you hooked Damon Salvatore up with any kind of alcohol, then he'd be fine...until he ran out.

"So you don't care? That we're stuck in here?" Bonnie stated, looking at the half-drunk vampire. Damon gave Bonnie a synical smile.

"No Bons I don't. I've been living for over a century now. I've waisted my whole life for a girl that didn't even care." Damon snarled. He didn't particularly snarl at Bonnie, he snarled at the thought of Katherine.

"So you think this is about you? Living a century and not getting what you've wanted? Damon grow up!" Bonnie yelled sternly with her arms crossed. Damon arched a brow, his face now growing cold with a hint of amusement.

"You want me to grow up? What the little goody-two shoes witch has finally had enough of the supernatural?" Bonnie gave Damon a harsh look. She was tired of this, him always thinking of him.

"Now I see why everyone hates you Damon. You always care about your self. I want to get out of here okay? I havn't lived a century, I've only lived seventeen years." Bonnie now stood up, touching the invisible field that caged her in like a bird. Damon was behind Bonnie in a flash, snaking his arms around her waist.

"Tough luck." Damon whispered harshly in her ear. Bonnie knocked Damon off of her and started pacing around.

"You know that's not going to help Bonnie. Why don't you stop pacing around and relax? Have your self a drink?" Damon stated, holding up a bottle of who knows what. Bonnie rolled her eyes and scoffed at the psychotic vampire. Bonnie pulled her hand away from the invisible force field and put her hands on her hips.

"Now I get. This is what you do when you can't find out an answer. You just sit around and drink until your senseless." Bonnie stated with a snarky reply. Damon walked closer to Bonnie, holding out the alcoholic bottle. He stepped even closer, inches away from Bonnie's face.

"No Bonnie. When I can't find an answer I drink, and then I screw girls like you...senseless." Damon retorted with a smirk dancing on his lips. Bonnie gazed at him deeply, looking into his menacing blue eyes. She then looked at the bourbon bottle that was being pushed in her direction. Bonnie quickly grabbed the bottle, hesitantly taking a sip of the substance. She swallowed, a tingling and burning trail rolling down her throat.

"Doesn't that ease away all the pain and stress?" Damon cooed in Bonnie's right ear. Bonnie stared directly in space for a minute. Maybe Damon was right. She had no where else to go, nothing to do. Damon and Bonnie, Bonnie and Damon. The thoughts trampled through her mind. Nothing else seemed to matter because they were both stuck and that's just the way it was going to be.

"You know what Damon?" Bonnie said, breaking the silence and staring right into Damon's crystal clear eyes. A little smile danced its way across Bonnie's features. "You're right..it does make the stress and pain go away." Bonnie then began taking more gulps and sips of the drink, Damon appearing with another bottle in his hand as he took his swallows as well.

Stefan got in his car and turned on the ignition. He had to find Caroline. She wasn't in the tomb. If she wasn't there then where the heck was she? Stefan started driving down the street, wiping out his cell phone in the process. He was going to try calling Caroline's cell phone again. And if she didn't answer, he was going to call her house phone to see if Sheriff Forbes would atleast pick up. Caroline's cell rang three times, each time made Stefan tense. Stefan sighed, hanging up his cell phone after Caroline's voice mail came on for the hundreth time today. Stefan stopped at a red light, quickly dialing Caroline's house phone. There were three rings and then some one picked up the phone.

"Hello Liz?" Stefan questioned. There was a chuckle on the other end.

"Yes, hi Stefan. Why are you calling?" Liz stated seriously. Stefan took a pause and continued.

"It's about Caroline. Is she home. I havn't seen her since yesterday and I'm quite worried." This time it was Liz's turn to take a pause.

"What are you talking about? Caroline's up in her room sick. She said she wasn't feeling well. I just checked on her matter of fact." Stefan scrunched his eye brows in confusion. Caroline was up in her room? Was it another trap? But it couldn't be because there was no way that Liz could be compelled. She drank vervain everyday and even had some on her. But what about Caroline? She wouldn't answer any of Stefan's calls.

"Oh. That's odd because she didn't tell us. Could I stop by and check on her?" If Stefan could see Liz's face through the phone, he would have seen her eye brow raised in confusion on the other line.

"Since when do you like checking up on Caroline Stefan?" Sherif Forbes questioned.

"We've grown closer over the past couple of days and I just want to make sure she's alright." Stefan said in a pleading voice. He heard Sherif Forbes sigh on the other end.

"I don't see why not..." She trailed off.

"Thank you Liz." Stefan retorted, quickly hanging up the phone. Stefan then quickened his speed, making his way to Caroline's house as fast as he possibly could. It just didn't seem right. How could Katherine just let Caroline go. Especially that easy?

"That was fairly easy." Katherine grinned to Lucy and Elena. Lucy gave off a weak smile and then spoke up.

"What do you have against the Salvatores and my cousin anyway?" The chocolate witch stated. Lucy wanted to know. She knew that Bonnie was her cousin and that they were some how related. If she knew that Bonnie would've been involved she would've had second thoughts about helping Katherine and casting all of these spells. But she owed Katherine, and Katherine would have surely killed her. Lucy was a strong witch, stronger than Bonnie even, but Katherine was a very powerful vampire and would have snapped her supple caramel neck if she didn't cooperate.

"Well you see.." Katherine trailed off, filing her nails as she looked up. "Stefan and Damon were my play toys for a while back in the eighteen hundreds. I just fooled around with Damon, but I love Stefan." Katherine shot a quick evil glance toward Elena as she continued filing her nails.

"I really just wanted Damon out of the way. He's the stronger one of the two." Lucy nodded whilst Katherine continued. "Stefan...now he's a handful, but I want him all to myself. I want to get him to like me all over again." Lucy shot up a brow.

"Then why didn't you just capture Stefan in the tomb?" Lucy questioned. Elena arched a brow. If Katherine did want Stefan all to herself then why didn't she just throw Stefan in the tomb? Katherine stopped filing her nails and raked a hand through her hair.

"Because I wanted to show Stefan that I could destroy his life. Hurting the people he cares about. And besides..." Katherine trailed off slightly narrowing her eyes into slits toward the two supernatural beings beside her. "Your little cousin Bonnie would have ruiened the plan any how. She went in the tomb to see if Caroline was there and then Damon...having a soft spot for the little witch ran in after her.." Katherine now had a cruel smile on her face. Lucy tilted her head to the side.

"This was all for Stefan then?" Lucy questioned.

"Yes, all for Stefan." Katherine stated simply. Katherine swiftly made her way to Elena's bathroom, raking another hand through her hair as she applied some lip gloss to her lips.

"Oh and thanks for putting up that spell around Caroline's room." Katherine shouted from the bathroom. Lucy had also put up a boundary around Caroline's room. Katherine had simply stabbed Caroline until she was unconscience, but wanted to play tricks on people. So she decided to let the bubbly little dim wit Caroline Forbes not die. Instead Katherine thought it would be funny if she threw Caroline in her room and trap her there. Lucy didn't reply to Katherine's thank you. Instead Lucy just layed back in the chair she was sitting in and thought. Katherine had basically tricked her. Lucy didn't even know that Bonnie was with the Salvatore brothers or was even envolved with this Caroline girl. All that Katherine had told her was that she needed help trapping Damon in the tomb. Katherine had told Lucy to cast a spell for trapping in the supernatural because she had simply stated that there was a witch with them. She hadn't told Lucy the witch was her own relative. Lucy had a feeling that Katherine knew that Bonnie was related to her. Lucy smiled to herself mentally. Katherine had basically double crossed her.

"So Elena Gilbert. You're the famous doppleganger that everyone's been talking about lately.." Lucy trailed off, grabbing the same nail filer that Katherine was using just minutes ago. Elena glanced at Lucy, playing it cool.

"Yeah I guess I am.." Elena trailed off. Lucy looked up from filing her nails and tilted her head to the side at Elena.

"You're helping Katherine out?" Lucy questioned. Elena swallowed a little lump in her throat that she didn't know was there.

"I'm on Katherine's side now." Elena retorted, feeling the pressure being put on her. She didn't really know what to say. Lucy seemed like the type of person who wanted her questions answered up front and wanted the truth. She seemed like she knew if you were lying or not.

"Just asking." Lucy stated simply, a hint of amusement in her dark brown eyes. Lucy laughed to herself mentally. This Elena person actually thought that Katherine was going to stay loyal to her? Elena actually thought that she was going to be safe and taken care of by Katherine? Elena had another thing coming because Katherine always liked to play games. It was sad really. Sad that Elena didn't know she was probablly going to be the next pawn to be kicked off of Katherine's little board game. Katherine suddenly walked into the room, her hair drenched in curls, make-up done.

"What are you to talking about in here?" Katherine asked curiously with an arched brow as she looked at Lucy. Lucy looked up and threw the nail filer on Elena's desk.

"Nothing much, just wondering about your famous doppleganger is all." Lucy replied with a nonchalant attitude. Katherine made her eyes into slits as she glanced at Lucy, but quickly retrieved them, changing her attitude.

"Get your selves dressed and dolled up, we're going out." Katherine stated with a synical smile.

"Out? Where to?" Lucy questioned with a pinch of amusement in her eyes.

"To the club. I have to go feed and do...other stuff to keep myself entertained." Katherine stated.

"Yeah, sure. Whatever you want to do I guess." Lucy said, getting up and going to the bathroom. Katherine then turned to Elena.

"Of course, I'm starving." Elena retorted with a weak, yet synical little grin. Katherine tilted her head to the side whilst looking at Elena. Had she actually done it and made Elena evil? It didn't matter in Katherine's eyes if she did or not because Katherine didn't want another clone prancing around Mystic Falls looking like her. Copying her, doing everything like her. It made her sick. She just needed Elena for the time being before she killed her off in the end.

"Woo!" Bonnie yelled suddenly finding herself in her boxer-like panties and her tank top dancing next to Damon. Bonnie twirled around, grinding herself slightly into the blue eyed vamp. Damon raised his hands dancing along with her as if there were music playing. Bonnie suddenly stopped, picking up another bottle of bourbon and taking a sip. How many stinking bottles of alcohol did Stefan really bring? The world may never know. Bonnie then placed the bottle back down and spun herself around a couple more times. She then stumbled into Damon, him clutching her body next to his. Damon cupped Bonnie's face with his hands, staring at the green-eyed witch. She radiated off a weak smile and then burst out into a fit of laughter. Damon smirked, leaning closer until he was inches away from Bonnie's pouty lips. He then crashed his lips to hers sloppily, pulling back after a couple of minutes. Bonnie's eyes were huge, looking at Damon as if he were a monster.

"D..D...Damon S...Slava...tooore." Bonnie slurred. She had way to much to drink. Damon was a little drunk, but he couldn't get that tipsy even if he tried. He arched a brow, looking at the little witch as if she were crazy. "You know...you...you...can't...kiss...mee..." Bonnie stated. Damon held onto Bonnie, looking her straight in the eyes.

"And why can't I do that Miss. Bennett?" Damon questioned amusingly as he played with her hair. Bonnie smiled mischevioulsy, tugging on Damon's shirt collar.

"Because...I..I..I know you can kisss me bette...better than..that." Bonnie giggled. Bonnie went to kiss Damon again, but Damon stopped her with his finger. He couldn't kiss Bonnie with the state that she was in. She was drunk and wasn't herself and for some reason Damon couldn't take advantage of her because he knew that Bonnie might regret it later. Bonnie nipped at Damon's finger as if she were a dog.

"No no Bonnie. You've had to much to drink. I can't believe I'm even saying it." Damon stated, letting go of Bonnie and picking up a bottle of blood to drink. Bonnie instantly knocked the bottle out of Damon's hands and wrapped her arms around his neck.

"You told me that this was going to be the end so why don't we celebrate huh?" Bonnie questioned, her green drunk eyes peering into his. A sly smile grew on Damon's lips with every second he gazed at Bonnie. Usually when he hated the world and got drunk he would always go out and screw some helpless little girl. But he couldn't do that to Bonnie could he? Did he actually care for her and have a heart? Damon gripped the sides of Bonnie's face.

"Bonnie you're drunk." Damon stated simply. A sad little smile appeared on Bonnie's features.

"I'm drunk, you're drunk...we might as well make this worth our while." The caramel witch retorted. Damon arched a brow.

"Bonnie, I'm not drunk. I can't get drunk, I'm careless when I drink." Bonnie's features scrunched up, not knowing what the heck Damon had said. Damon sighed and stroked Bonnie's cheek.

"Meaning that when I drink I act as if I'm drunk, not giving a care about anyone and ignoring them until I go out and do something reckless and stupid." Bonnie beamed into Damon's eyes with a serious face. She then quickly crashed her lips to his, holding the kiss as if dear life depended on it. Damon didn't fight back, surrendering to the kiss by making it deep and long. His hands started roaming down her sides, cupping her butt in the process. Bonnie pulled back, looking Damon in the eyes as she spoke.

"I'm giving you permission to be as stupid and reckless as you want with me." Damon's eyes showed a sencere look. He quickly crashed his lips back to Bonnie's, guiding her to the heap of blankets and laying her down softly. He was then on top of her, Bonnie wrapping her legs around his waist in a heartbeat.

Bonnie's eyes jerked open, seeing a smirking Damon in nothing but his boxer shorts on the opposite wall of the tomb. Bonnie tried getting up and unwrapping herself from the piles of blankets she was in when a striking headache hit her like a lightening bolt.

"Ughh." Bonnie whined. "What the heck happened?" Damon just sat there, now drinking a bottle of blood casually.

"Nothing much. You just got a little tipsy and showed your colors." The now smirking vampire stated. Bonnie's eyes widened, looking under the blankets quickly to see herself in her underwear and her bra. She slowly tilted her head back up toward Damon.

"What happened Damon?" Bonnie stated in a panic voice. Damon just continued to smirk his devilish little smile.

"Looks like someone's not drunk anymore." Bonnie's eyes turned into slits in an instant.

"Damon. Tell. Me. What. Happened." Bonne stated through gritted teeth. Damon waved his hand as if there was nothing to talk about.

"Oh nothing really happened. You. Me...that soft little pile of covers you're laying in.." Damon trailed off. Bonnie sighed, tired of his crappy little games.

"What the heck happened?" Bonnie threatened. Damon rolled his eyes and sighed. It was fun messing with the little witch's head, but he thought that he should come clean.

"You got drunk, we danced. You showed off your rocking little bod of yours by taking off your pants and then we made out. Happy?" Damon retorted sarcastically. And it was true. That's all they did was makeout. When Damon got on top of Bonnie things had gotten quite serious after she took off her tank top, but he stopped. And that was that. Of all the evil things in the world, Damon was just not that evil. Sure the old Damon that had just arrived in Mytic Falls not to long ago would've said 'oh goody a witch for me to screw.' But this Damon was different. He seemed to care about things more and Bonnie just happened to be one of them. Bonnie untwisted herself from the blankets she was in and picked her tank top off from the ground. She easily slipped it on and raked her now dirty shirt over the top of it. She soon found her pants and noticed the dirtiness of them too as she slid them on. Bonnie looked up, seeing Damon eyeing her the whole time. Her chocolate cheeks flushed, turning a red color.

"I need new clothes." Bonnie stated. All of Bonnie's clothes were now covered in filthy dirt from the cave-like ground of the tomb. She eyed Damon up and down, seeing that he was just in his boxers.

"Damon, put your clothes back on." Bonnie stated with a raised brow. Damon sipped more of his blood with a sarcastic smile.

"You weren't complaining a couple of hours ago when you begged me to have sex with you." Damon stated in a sing-song voice. Bonnie sighed and rolled her eyes. She couldn't believe that she was that drunk to beg Damon for...for..sex. Bonnie scratched behind her ear.

"I..I didn't beg you for sex..." Bonnie trailed off, sitting back down and wrapping herself in the heap of covers once more. Damon sat his bottle filled with blood down and looked up at the ceiling of the tomb.

"Do you remember anything when you're drunk?" Damon asked in a mocking manner. Bonnie swallowed a lump in her throat. The thoughts and memories of the past couple hours sling shoting her in the head. Her eyes widened in shock as she turned back to Damon. A sarcastic little grin was placed across his handsome features.

"This never leaves the tomb." Bonnie stated firmly. Damon playfully scoffed.

"And if it does?"

"Then I'll kill you off so fast that the curse won't have time get to you." Bonnie said with tweak of her brows. Damon gleamed his eyes brightly toward the witch, tilting his head to the side.

"I think I'd like to take that chance. Bons." Damon stated, popping the 'B' in Bonnie's little nick name. Bonnie's face fell flat. She wasn't joking anymore and she was serious.

"Damon I'm warning you. You better not tell anyone." Bonnie stated fiercely. Damon didn't say anything. Instead his eyes told it all. The sort of lust-y gleam that had that playful twinkle in them. Damon tilted his head to the side, in less than a second he had Bonnie pinned up against the tomb wall. Bonnie's covers dropped to the floor, Damon's body tightly holding her in place. The mocca colored witch gasped, peering down at Damon seeing that he now atleast had a pair of pants on. Bonnie's eyes found their way back up to mischievious blue eyes. Bonnie's mind was doing flips, wondering all these different things. But most importantly she wondered how the heck had Damon gotten his pants on so fast.

"Damon.." Bonnie whispered. It was like a tug and pull between Bonnie and the overly hot vampire, but Bonnie just couldn't do this. She put her hands on Damon's chest and pushed, making him step back an inch.

"I..I can't do this.." Bonnie stated with a twisted face. "It's just all to confusing. One momment I'll want to kiss you and the next I'm infuriated by you...it's just.." Damon got closer to Bonnie, his forehead slightly touching hers. He stared her fiercely in the eyes, his electrifying baby blues intoxicating Bonnie's every breath. Damon bent down closer, his lips hovering over hers. He hit the stone wall behind him firmly with his hand, suddenly appearing on the opposite side of the tomb. Bonnie breathed in heavy breaths, slouching down the cold stones and wrapping herself once more in the blankets. Damon put on a smug smirk as he sipped his alcohol. Bonnie sighed to herself, staring down at the dirty ground of the tomb. She had feelings for Damon...she had them not. All she needed now was a flower. But Bonnie knew that it wasn't like that. She knew that she didn't need a flower to decide because...she was falling for him.

Stefan impatiently rang Caroline's door bell, pacing around and rubbing his hands through his hair. He stopped and tapped his foot as if he were listening to music. Liz suddenly opened the door, giving Stefan a small gesture as to come into her home. Stefan stood there, he couldn't get in unless he was invited.

"Stefan are you all right?" Liz retorted with a worried look on her scratched the nape of his neck.

"Yes I'm great..I'm good." Stefan stated casually. Sheriff Forbes shot up a brow.

"Then come on in Stefan. Caroline's right up in her room." Stefan smiled weakly, passing Liz as he heard her mumble words under her breath. Stefan had put a pep in his step and started striding up the stairs. He finally made it to Caroline's room, seeing a slumped blond sitting on the floor with her head in her hands.

"Caroline!" Stefan spoke urgently, crossing into her room and leaning down to the blond vampire's level. Caroline snapped her neck up with frightened eyes.

"Stefan! No!" Caroline screetched, her blue eyes shining with worry.

"No? No what?" Stefan questioned seriously, holding Caroline's gaze intensely. Caroline's eyes started to water.

"Kat...Katherine!" Caroline shouted. "She trapped me in here! I can't...can't get out!" Caroline yelled histerically. Stefan's eyes widdened with fear.

"Caroline calm down." Stefan stated firmly, grasping Caroline's delicate hands. Caroline sniffled once more, pushing her wondering hair out of her eyes.

"She locked me in here Stefan...I can't get out..I'm thirsty and..and...the things she did to me was horrible.." Caroline stated sadly. Stefan scrunched his brows, standing up and going to Caroline's bedroom door.

"There's no way Stefan...you can't get out..." Caroline retorted hopelessly. Stefan went up to the door way, easily stepping in and out. Caroline furrowed her brows.

"How..how is that possible. You're a vampire to.." Caroline stated, hope now shining in her eyes. Stefan's features went firm for a minute, veins twirling across his cheeks as his eyes went black.

"Katherine did this on purpose." Stefan merely spoke to himself. "Katherine threw you in your room and trapped you. She trapped Damon and Bonnie in the tomb together as well..." Caroline's pupils trippled in size after hearing the news. Stefan shook his head back and fourth.

"She's doing this to torture me.."

"What? I don't know what's going on..." Caroline stated, her eyes getting misty with frustration. Stefan walked over to Caroline and sat down beside her. He looked her directly in the eyes.

"Caroline.." Stefan sighed, cupping the blond vampire's cheeks in his hands. "Katherine's hurting everyone I love because she wants me.." Stefan trailed off as he looked down at the floor and quickly back up into Caroline's sparkling blue eyes. There was a pause as the brown eyed vamp continued. "But the truth is I don't want her. I've been going crazy helping Bonnie find you. And now that I've had...I've realized that the only person I want is you."

A/N: Here's the end of chapter twelve. Sorry again for not updating in a while. My internet is still screwed up, so I don't know when I'll update again. I've actually had this chapter written for about two weeks now..please review?
