Caroline.
She annoys the hell out of me and makes me laugh at the same time.
She's like the little sister I never had. Or the friend that I did and then lost to Damon's vindictiveness.
Her story is compelling though. Letting Tyler know what she is puts us all at risk, and that scares me. We have enough to worry about without having to combat another werewolf. Plus if Damon finds out, she's a dead vampire. Even Elena won't be enough to stop him from staking her.
I understand why she did it. I can't blame her for wanting to help, for wanting to make someone feel as if they're not alone.
I did it for her.
But I know she's hiding something. I can practically see the wheels in her head turning, trying to figure out how else she can drag out this conversation. I have to admit that this girl is quick on her feet.
What is she hiding? What is Elena doing that I should be worried about?
Scenarios run around in my mind, each one more chilling than the last. The one that keeps battering at my brain, the one that makes my breath stop and my throat tighten deals with my brother.
What if she's with Damon? Is that what everyone is hiding?
I picture her running off with him. Having sex with him. Letting him turn her into a vampire.
I think I'm going to be sick.
Caroline keeps prattling on, and I'm losing patience.
Just get to the point! Tell me, should I rush to save Elena or should I get drunk and disappear?
Goddamn it.
I have to get out of here. I can't breathe.
