I sit in my room, looking at my phone for the millionth time this morning, and nothing, just a few messages from Elena and Stefan about Elijah and the latest plan of action, but nothing from Damon,…not a thing. Way to go Caroline, he'll probably never forgive me, his trust issues where bad enough as it was!
I run my fingers through my hair and stand, needing something other than this crap to think about, so I run into the kitchen and pick up the grocery list from the fridge and head out. As I drive into town I see the grill and stop to see Matt, wanting one friend that I don't have to worry about today! He seems jumpy, then again I did just sneak up on him. After agreeing to lunch I head out and finish shopping, then over to the old house Jeremy and Bonnie are cupped up in right now, the burned witch's site. I knock lightly on the door to the basement and shout "hey guys! I'm coming in so anything that needs covering, cover it!" as I open the door Jeremy's pulling his shirt over his head, both have messy hair and I smile "hey, love the sex hair guys,…I brought food!" they both crack a smile and walk over "its mostly chips and soda, I noticed you don't have a microwave or anything!" they smile and Bonnie asks "thanks Care, so you hear about Elijah?" I nod and answer "that he's back to the un-dead living and team 'Save Elena/Kill Klaus'? I got the memo. So how's you two love birds doing in your little nest of love? Because it reeks of the nasty in here!" they laugh and both blush and we just chat for a while until my phone rings and on the other end is Diana "Caroline? Did you hear about Mrs Lockwood?" I listen as she tells me about the accident and then say goodbye to my friends as I head over to the hospital. I don't like her much but she doesn't have anyone here, her husbands dead and Tyler's bailed.
When I actually get to the hospital and see Tyler, my old friend, walking out with Jules, you remember her right? The fucking bitch that had me tortured! And she talks to him like she owns him, just a few minutes Tyler, sit Tyler, abandon your friends when they need you Tyler. I hate her, encase you didn't notice. He and I make idle, meaningless chit-chat, that is until he says he's just going to leave again and I cant help the bitterness as I demand an explanation, but he brushes it off and tells me to take care of myself, WTF? Then I realize he thinks I don't want him here and try to stop him, but an agonizing pain hits my head, like a hundred needles stabbing me over and over and I fall to my knees in pain. Then can only watch as Tyler falls like I did, and an actual needle stabs me in the back, the Vervain burning my blood into ash as I lose myself to blank, screaming unconsciousness.
When I wake up, a dull throb in in my head and under my skin, only to find myself in the tomb, chained up, with Tyler on the opposite wall, just fan-fucking-tastic! When I say Klaus's name and he asks me who he is, its then I realize, the sacrifice, we're going to die!
After I explain everything he's missed in the time he's been gone, I look at him, wanting him to answer my question's since we're going to die and all. I ask why he didn't say goodbye, I can hear the sorrow in my voice as I ask "why did you leave me?", and his answer shocks me. He thinks I hated him? He's become one of my best friends, and I answer with complete truth "I could never hate you Tyler!" his face lightens with the ghost of a smile and there he is, there's my friend.
The sound of rumbling bricks, breaks our moment and what I see shocks me "Damon?" he seems kind of pissed, probably still mad at me, then why is he saving me,….oh right, Elena! But when he says they Matt has wooden bullets to say I'm surprised is an understatement! As we start to leave, Damon's hand on my arms rather than in my hand, I tell him I wont leave without Tyler. When we get outside I turn to make sure Matt's ok, me and Damon back to our usual banter as Tyler starts to change, Matt wakes up and I help him stand slowly, gun in hand.
As we run, Tyler fighting off the change, Stefan calls Damon, telling him something bad from the look on his face, but then Tyler falls, unable to control the change anymore. I try to talk him down but then he lunges for me, Damon jumping in the way, fighting him away from me "DAMON!" I scream. He quickly pushes Tyler off him and I run to him, my hands on his face and arm as I examine him "I'm fine!" he bites and Tyler tells us to get the hell out of there. Damon tells us to get to the cellar, that if it can keep him in it can keep him out! Handing the wooden bullets to Matt, and I look at him as he grabs my face, pulling me into a harsh kiss, then quickly pushes me back "Go!" and I hesitate as Matt grabs my hand and we leg it! He saved me from Tyler, he kissed me, maybe we'll be ok, if we make it to morning!
