Once again I'm so sorry for the delay!

"I thought when love for you died, I should die.
It's dead. Alone, most strangely, I live on."
~Rupert Brooke

Caroline stood there with pleading eyes as I watched Alec tighten his hand around her neck. My breathing became labored and I was at a loss. Never before had I been faced with such a predicament, at least none that I can remember. The humane side of me begged to plead with the boy for her life, to go in her stead; but yet the monster inside me snarled at the thought. All my life it had always been about me. What was best for me, how to protect myself, how to keep myself safe; never was there another that held such a place for me. The fact that I was struggling with this alone says something. Despite everything I had pushed away, everything I had done and everything I had kept myself from; Caroline Forbes meant something to me. Yet I wasn't even sure why she was so important but here I was torn from my own selfish nature and her life.

What is she to us? She will do nothing but hold us back. Once upon a time we were great, powerful, lethal and she is weakening you!

My own mind was fighting against me and I knew not what to do. Esme already had died because of me; Alec wouldn't hesitate in crushing her neck.

Ever since I had awoken from my compulsion my anger ran me, fueled me and empowered me. I didn't need anyone, the people I had trusted the most had betrayed me and I was out for blood, out for revenge. Of course the people I wanted to hurt the most, I hadn't even touched yet; I just managed to burn everyone else instead because I couldn't find the Cullen's. I was on a murderous rampage killing anything and everything in my way with a sick smile on my face. Of course the smile never matched my eyes.

As soon as Damon entered the picture I realized that he could never love me, that I would never be good enough. For the first time in a long time he brought out an emotion that hadn't surfaced in a long time, shame. It was the first time where I truly knew I was alone. Playing games with the Salvatore brothers was amusing but I knew I was no Elena and she had something I could never have, her humanity. I was a monster and relished in other's pain and misery. And out of my own misery I slaughtered Bonnie's mother.

Then Caroline Forbes showed up seemingly out of no where. I had compelled her at first, showed her just how horrid I was; proving that some souls can never be saved and yet she showed up, carried me and showed me that I wasn't completely alone. We both knew what it was like to have everyone hate us, except she never committed the sins I had done; she was merely petty and shallow. But beyond those blond curls and beautiful face, laid substance a caringness I had never seen before.

While I was cruel, heartless and treated her like absolute dirt; she still stayed. She had no reason to be loyal to me, none at all and yet she was. What had I done to deserve such love? Nothing but she gave it freely. This was my chance to prove that maybe my heart wasn't so black, that maybe there was still some light inside of me. Even though the light was faded, dimmed and barely shining; it was still there, a whisper of a flicker.

"You know not everyone walks away"

Her words echoed through my brain and suddenly I became afraid. She had given her love and loyalty freely, without justified reason. There was nothing I did that deserved it which meant she could turn on me any given second. Why wouldn't she? It wasn't like I was saint, far from it actually. It was like I was the devils concubine and she the angel of God. Light and Darkness can never coexist. Some day one will consume the other. I was a hopeless case. I had sold my soul to the devil long ago and had no intention of fighting for it back. I knew what I was, but what I couldn't face was the person I could be.

Caroline Forbes was only a tool, something to use then be disposed of. She did her mission and now it was over. I was Katerina Petrova and I held mercy for none. Not even her.

My back straightened and a smirk rose wickedly across my face. My eyes locked with her and a flash of understanding flitted across them. Suddenly she began to panic and her body began to fight against its attacker. She was done for; there was no way she could win against Alec.

"NO!" she screamed in protest thrashing beneath his cold fingertips. "NO! Why!" she cried out. "After everything we've been through, why!" she demanded.

Carlisle simply stared at me with a complete look of disgust on his face. His eyes held those of disappointment and I knew I failed him, but it was he who failed me first. What did I care of his feelings, he had no respect for mine. He had taken my trust and turned it against me. While I believed he loved me, he used that to manipulate me and take advantage of me. Like I was some sick game to play. The first one to completely break Katerina wins the prize!

And he did.

I remember the way his eyes stared down coldly into my own as he held me down while Klaus humiliated me. This was his way of getting back at me. Make my life a living hell before he put me out of my misery. Where there was once love for my brother only lays hate. He was nothing to me now. And now that I knew the Cullen's were indeed in Mystic Falls I could finish the job.

"What, you actually thought you meant something to me?" I taunted her. "That I some how cared about you and your pathetic life?" I continued as tears spilled down her cheeks. "Oh you were nothing but a tool for me. You gave me what I wanted, and now you have nothing left for me." I finished with a chuckle.

Her eyes shined with fear and absolute hate.

"One day you'll find this life that you've chosen is complete Hell. And the choices that you made will burn in your memory for the rest of your wretched immortal life as you burn alone. And it will be then; that you look back on this moment and wished you had done the hard thing, that you hadn't been such a coward." She spat out.

A painful clench erupted in my chest at her words. Little did she know her prophecy had already started to take place. I was already burning in my personal hell alone with the memory of my sins torturing my mind. But I was still a monster, a bloodthirsty monster past redemption, past saving past anything that offered hope for myself. And one day I would have to face that and live with it.

But that day was not today.

"Oh, that's really touching," I mocked as I placed my hand over my heart. "So very touching, but this whole situation going on has long past amused me." I said straightening my body. "And now I'm just bored." I finished with an expressionless face.

Alec stood there smirking at me meanwhile Jane had placed herself by his side. Here eyes were a murderous red, and I knew she wanted nothing more than to kill me at that exact moment.

I quickly scanned for an escape route. There was no way in hell I was staying here and getting hauled off to the Volturi.

"If only Aro didn't want to kill you so badly, you would've made an exceptional guard." Alec mused with the never faltering smirk.

Caroline Forbes closed her eyes waiting for the inevitable moment of her death. And I just stood there with a determined expression on my face. That little flickering light, I believed it finally blew out. My heart was completely black. The emotions that were running rampant inside of me I turned off. I had no need of them. Emotions were weakness and I was not weak.

Time seemed to stand still and my heart rate started beating faster as I waited for the life to die out of her eyes. Then Alec did something I wasn't expecting, he bit her. Her head fell back and a whimper escaped her lips as her body started to become limp. Then before I could process anything Carlisle emitted a low growl from his body and suddenly his body was launching at Alec's. Caroline was quickly tossed aside as the two of them engaged in a brutal fight.

I decided this was my cue to leave. I looked briefly at Caroline and saw the blood rushing out of her veins. A cold one's bite was lethal to our kind. The transformation would kill us. That was why when I got bit by James Carlisle wouldn't allow Edward to let the venom spread. I knew if I just left her there she would die, a slow painful death. Once the venom spread past a certain point, death was inevitable. I expected to feel something as I watched her body writhe on the ground and her screams, but nothing happened.

So I did what I did best.

I ran.

Edward's POV

Edward sat quietly on the couch beside Alice at the Salvatore boarding house. His family was waiting patiently for the arrival of their father and mother. When they heard that Katherine had taken Esme, they were all shocked. Of course he knew that Kat was bad news but to find out that Carlisle was her brother was the most shocking of it all. There were many things that his father kept private, certain aspects of his human life that he didn't want to relive and Edward knew that; but to hide a living a sibling from the rest of family? Why did he never say anything about it?

Of course it didn't matter now. Apparently Carlisle had done something, something pretty bad to cause his long lost sister to just show up out of the blue and kidnap his wife. Edward didn't worry for Esme though; Carlisle was perfectly capable of handling this little family spat. Though he wasn't worried for the situation, he wasn't stupid either. He knew enough of Katherine Pierce to not underestimate her, but she wasn't anything they couldn't handle.

The wait was annoying and he wished that his father would hurry up and take care of business already. After hearing all about the moonstone and sacrifice issues, he and the rest of Cullen's decided to pitch in and help. After all, whoever this Klaus was didn't have a right to cause that much collateral damage. If they didn't clean up the mess, the Volturi would most likely get involved and that would not be pretty at all.

Suddenly the front door flew open and in walked a girl that was the exact replica of his love. But he knew better, this was not Isabella Swan; this was Katerina Petrova. Immediately everyone in the room tensed up and Rosalie even hissed. The two Salvatore brothers looked positively murderous but no one moved. No one dared to speak a word.

Katerina's eyes went wide at their appearance and but then lit up with amusement as a seductive smirk spread across her face.

"So you must be the Cullen's,"

Ok so tell me what you think so far!
