FanGirl - Technically you won't find out her specific powers until towards the end of season two (but more so in season three).
Guest - The AU chapters are directed towards Klary and what she is because it will inevitably impact the story because of her abilities and there will also be more characters added into the story that are not in the show which will help Klary in her transition. As of now, for the most part, it doesn't involve any of the other characters directly (but nothing is set in stone).
Annik92 - Thank you for the constructive criticism! I'll definitely be more conscious of when I use the nickname, the idea behind Angel was for something a little more unique than a normal nickname. It also holds something very special for not only their relationship but Klary as well, however, having said that I will definitely take into account to use it more wisely.
KILL OR BE KILLED
I swear this town has way too many social events. Jenna had reminded me earlier that today was the historical society volunteer day, so I was getting ready before I had to leave and head over to the Lockwood Mansion to help set up. Walking into the bathroom I was greeted by Elena and Jeremy, "Hey you two" I say to them.
"Hey" Jeremy replies and Elena just smiles before I grab my toothbrush and starting cleaning my teeth. Then Jeremy continues to say, "I can't believe that Tyler Lockwood is a werewolf", and I almost choke on the toothpaste.
Glaring at Elena she just shrugs, "We're not sure about that yet. The only thing we know for sure is that Mason Lockwood is".
"It should be easy enough for us to figure out" Jeremy replies.
Elena shakes her head, "There is no us. I said that I wouldn't keep things from you anymore, but that doesn't mean that I want you involved in it".
"By definition of being in this family, I'm involved" Jeremy tells her as if it's simple.
Spitting out my toothpaste I turn to Jeremy, "Has all intellect been lost from your brain? This is dangerous".
"You know you're really grumpy in the mornings?" Jeremy replies and I just narrow my eyes at him.
"Klary's right, this is dangerous. You have to keep out of it, okay?" Elena says to him softly.
Jeremy puts his hands up in defense, "Alright. Just saying" and then he leaves.
Turning to Elena I put my hands on my hip, "You know you could've told me that we were all suddenly telling secrets".
Elena shrugs, "Hey it was your idea to keep him in the loop".
"Speaking of keeping people in the loop. You should know, that when we went to Duke, Damon gave me this book about Katherine's family history. Katerina Petrova is her real name, apparently, the bloodline ended with her" I tell Elena before adding, "Obviously not, otherwise how are we here? Now, here's the fun part. Katherina had a sister, her name was Krasimira".
"And you really think the book is telling the truth?" Elena asks me.
I nod, "It makes sense, I guess. I'm sure there's more to the story but right now, it doesn't matter because I need to finish getting ready for this volunteer thing" I say to Elena and start making my way back to my room.
"Jeremy is right. You are grumpy in the mornings" Elena calls out to me and I flip her off which makes her laugh loudly.
•••
"This is all part of the historical society, continuing efforts to give back to the community. Thanks to the generous donation of the Fell family. We are now standing on the site of our newest public park. Thank you to everyone who has shown up today to lend a helping hand. Thanks" Carol Lockwood's voice echoes through the microphone as the community prepares for the event.
I sigh as I grab a box from the back of a truck and as I turn around, Mason Lockwood is standing there. Jumping back slightly I say, "Way to sneak up on a girl".
Mason laughs, "Sorry, I mean no harm".
Raising an eyebrow I tell him, "Sure you don't".
"Alright, you caught me" he replies as he holds up his hands and then says, "Do you need help with that box?".
"Thanks but I've got it" I say to him and then began making my way over to the veranda but Mason calls out to me.
"You know we never went out" he says to me.
And at this precise time, Damon comes into my view and I can tell from his position that he's listening to me, "Um, well you never texted" I say with a shrug.
"I have a feeling even if I did, you wouldn't have agreed. Is Damon Salvatore the guy you're seeing?" Mason asks me.
"That's not really any of your business" I say to him.
"No need to be hostile, Klary" Mason says to me with raised eyebrows.
Immediately I offer a smile, "No I'm sorry, I'm just tired".
"Ah, understandable" Mason replies as he grabs another box from the truck.
"Well, I'm gonna go set these up" I tell him and motion to the box in my hands.
Mason nods, "Yeah. Listen Klary, you're a good girl and Damon Salvatore is dangerous".
Taken back I nod, "Thanks for the warning, but I think I can handle Damon, and myself for that matter".
"I know you can, but when I say he's dangerous I mean it. I think you should stay away from him" Mason says.
"Excuse me?" I question with raised eyebrows before continuing, "Look, Mason, like I said, I can handle myself. And I know Damon would never hurt me, okay? So, thanks for the advice but I know Damon better than most people" and with that, I walk over to the veranda and leave Mason standing there.
Sighing, I sit the box of plastic cutlery on the table and start sorting it out. "What's got you all huffing and puffing?" Damon asks.
I turn to him, "Like you weren't listening".
Damon smiles, "I'm grateful for you defending my honor".
"Well, you're very welcome" I smile and once I finish with the cutlery, I look up and see Caroline and Elena on the opposite side of the veranda. "I'll be back" I tell Damon who nods before heading over to them. "Hey" I greet them.
Caroline looks at Damon, "What's up with you two?".
"Oh, it's really scandalous. Yeah, we're friends. Is your mind blown yet?" I sarcastically say to her as I remember the whole Caroline being Katherine's minion thing.
Caroline nods, "Right, anyways my mum is being weird".
"What do you mean?" Elena asks her.
"So suddenly, she's in the running for Mother of the Year just when I'm trying to avoid her the most" Caroline rants before adding, "I'm babbling, you don't want to hear all this".
I notice Elena and Stefan looking at each other and I can't help but feel bad for them, they look like they haven't seen each other in days. Even though I swear he was over our house earlier in the day. "Oh, no, sorry. Then what happened?" Elena asks her.
"Well, I was a bitch which is par for the course with us. So, how are things with you and Stefan? Anything?" Caroline switches the subject,
"No, not since the fight" Elena says with a shrug.
Furrowing my eyebrows I ask, "You and Stefan had a sight?".
Elena nods, "Yeah, sorry I was gonna tell you earlier but you seemed busy" and the look in Elena's eyes tells me not to ask anything. Then she continues, "He's been pushing me away because he thinks that Katherine might get jealous enough to hurt me. I just don't know how to change his mind".
"You said that Katherine's dangerous, maybe he's got a point" Caroline replies.
Elena nods, "Yeah I know that she's dangerous and that he's just trying to protect me but it feels like giving up and I just…" she trails off.
"Just what?" I ask her.
"I just thought we were stronger than that" Elena says with a sigh before she looks at Stefan again, who looks up and meets her gaze.
"Oh, no. Longing looks are being exchanged" Caroline comments.
"I'm gonna go talk to him" Elena says to us.
Caroline disagrees, "No, Elena. I think it's a bad idea" but Elena ignores her and walks over to Stefan.
As Elena and Stefan start to talk, Damon makes his way to us "What's her problem?" he asks in regards to Elena.
"Don't worry about it" Caroline replies sharply.
"Why are you being such a bitch to your mum?" Damon asks her and I look at him with raised eyebrows.
Caroline repeats herself, "Don't worry about it" and then she focuses her attention back to Elena and Stefan, which Damon also does.
It's quiet between us and when Stefan and Elena look at us from where they're standing I realize that Caroline and Damon are listening in on their conversation. "You know this whole hearing from afar is unfair for us mere mortals" I say to them and Damon just smirks. As I look back to Stefan and Elena, I realize they're arguing which confused me even more.
As Elena walks away from Stefan, Damon turns to us "Relationships are about communication".
"Maybe you should take your own advice" I tell him before walking over to Elena with Caroline joining me.
"I thought we were friends again" Damon calls out to me but I ignore him as I head over to Elena.
"You okay?" I ask her with concern.
"No" Elena shakes her head and I embrace her.
When we pull away Caroline tells her, "You know, maybe it's for the best".
"It's not for the best, Caroline. None of this is for the best" Elena says almost rudely before she apologizes, "I'm sorry, okay? I don't mean to take it out on you. You're just being a good friend".
Caroline shakes her head softly and says, "No, I'm not. I'm not being a good friend, at all" and before any of us reply, she sees her mum on the phone leaving the park, "Is she leaving? Where is my mum going?" and then she walks off.
Elena and I look at each other confused and I turn to Elena whilst Caroline's distracted, "Are you and Stefan really?" I trail of my question just in case and Elena shakes her head before she starts walking over to Caroline and I follow her.
"What's going on?" I ask Caroline.
Caroline shrugs, "I don't know, something's up" and then she starts walking into the woods where her mum left.
"Where are you going? What's going?" Elena asks her.
Caroline hushes us, "I need to be able to hear better".
"Hear what?" Elena asks.
"Something's wrong" is all Caroline says as she tries to focus.
"Caroline…" Elena trails off.
Caroline shushes her and then her eyes widen, "Oh my god".
"What is it?" Elena asks her.
Caroline looks at us, "Stefan and Damon".
"What?" I begin to worry but Caroline ignores me as she walks further into the woods with Elena and I trailing behind.
"They've been here" Caroline tells us before leaning down and picking up a plant from the ground that's covered in blood.
"What are you three doing out here?" a voice asks us and we turn to see Mason.
I breathe a sigh of relief and Elena asks him, "Have you seen Stefan?".
Mason nods "Yeah I've seen him. Seen Damon too".
"Where are they?" I ask Mason.
Mason shrugs and looks at me, "You don't need me for that. I'll let your friend here sniff them out", and then he turns to Caroline, "Does your mother know what you are? I'm happy to tell her".
Caroline hisses before speeding towards him, but suddenly, I feel someone grab me from behind and begin to strangle me with their arm.
"Did you wake up on the wrong side of the bed today, Mason?" I ask Mason angrily.
Mason ignores me as he looks at Caroline, "Don't be stupid! Necks snap easy around here".
"I can take you" Caroline states.
"Wanna bet?" Mason asks arrogantly.
Caroline nods, "Yeah. I do".
"Me too" I add before looking at Caroline and communicating with my eyes that I'm gonna fight back. As hard as I can, I elbow Manson in his sternum which he doesn't expect as he loosens his hold on me. With this, I move from underneath his hold before turning and kneeing him in the groin. Smiling, I turn back to Elena and Caroline, as I walk over to them I hear a growl emit from Mason and as I turn around, I watch as he slowly gains strength, however, before he can do any damage, Caroline speeds over to him. Caroline grabs him and pushes him up against a tree as Elena runs over to me.
"I told you" is all Caroline says before she knees him in the groin again and pushes him down on all fours which she uses to kick him in the stomach, an action hard enough to send him flying against a tree and then falling to the ground. "Come on" Caroline tells us and Elena and I just look at her in awe before following our friend.
"What is that?" Elena asks as we come across what looks like ruins. It's a set of stairs which lead down underground that was used back in the 1800s.
Neither of us answers her but I watch Caroline's expression become more worried as she listens on. "Caroline, what is it?" I ask her.
"My mum. She's killing them" is all she says as she looks at us.
Elena and I begin to panic, "What?" I exclaim before I start to walk forward but Caroline grabs my arm.
"No, no, no, no!" Caroline says.
"We have to stop her!" Elena says frustratingly.
Caroline looks scared as she shakes her head, "No, I can't. She'll find out about me, I can't. I'm sorry".
Elena and I look at each other before we nod and rush down the ruins, leaving Caroline alone. Before we reach where Sheriff Forbes is holding them, I notice a plank of wood and pick it up off the ground before continuing our walk. As we look around, there are chains placed on the walls, and then finally we make our way just outside the main cell. Elena stands behind me as we see a deputy and I hold up the plank before hitting him over the head with it. This is when Sheriff Forbes sees us and points her gun at us. "Klarissa? Elena?" she breathes out at us, "What are you doing?".
"You can't kill them. I'm not gonna let you" I tell her. Suddenly another deputy comes up behind Elena and pushes her forward as he grabs his gun. Before he can do anything, a noise comes from up the stairs where Caroline was.
"What was that?" the deputy ask but Elena and I are silent as the door to the ruins closes.
"Who else is with you?" Sheriff Forbes asks us before a blur circles us and then suddenly the deputy screams out as Caroline bites his neck.
Another deputy comes out to shoot Caroline but after the first shot, Caroline rushes and knocks him to the ground before turning around to face her mum. Caroline's face is covered in blood as she says, "Hi mum" and Sheriff Forbes looks on in complete shock.
•••
Later on, Damon and Stefan were awake with Damon feeding on one of the dead deputies before walking back over to Stefan who is sitting with Elena and I. Caroline and her mum were in another part of the cell but I don't think they were speaking. "You need to drink some deputy blood" Damon says to Stefan.
Stefan shakes his head, "No. I'm gonna be fine. It's just gonna take a little bit longer".
"Damon's right you know. If there's ever a time to break your diet…" Caroline trails off as she walks over to us.
"He said he doesn't want it, okay?" Elena snaps.
It's silent between us all before Damon speaks, "This is a most unfortunate situation. Two deputies dead and you" Damon turns to Sheriff Forbes, "What am I gonna do with you?".
"You won't tell anyone, will you? Mum? Mum? Please. Look, I know that we don't get along and that you hate me but I'm your daughter and you'll do this for me, right? Mum, please. He will kill you" Caroline rambles to her mother.
"Then kill me" Sheriff Forbes says as she has tears in her eyes.
"No!" Caroline exclaims.
"I can't take this. Kill me now" Sheriff Forbes says to Damon.
Damon bends down and looks into her eyes, "But you were gonna drag it out so painful" and then he grabs her which makes her stand.
"No, no, no, no, no, no!" Caroline cries out.
"Damon don't!" Stefan pleads.
I place my hand on Damon's shoulder, "Damon, please".
Damon looks at my hand and I take it off, "Relax guys, no one is killing anybody" and then turns back to look at Sheriff Forbes, "You're my friend". Suddenly, at what he says, something in me shifts as I look on at Damon softly. "We've got to clean this up" Damon adds as he looks at Stefan who nods.
•••
All of us had arrived at the Boarding House. Sheriff Forbes was downstairs in one of the cells whilst Elena and I were waiting for Caroline to come back with some clothes for her mum. As the doorbell rings, I walk over and answer it, "Hey sorry that took forever. I just didn't know how long my mum was gonna be here" Caroline greets me as she walks inside.
"Damon says it should take three days tops for the vervain to leave her system. Maybe even sooner" I tell her.
Caroline nods before Stefan and Elena come walking over to us, "Hey! You get some bunny in you?" Caroline asks Stefan.
Stefan nods with a smile, "Yeah I'm feeling better, thank you" and then the four of us make our way downstairs to the cells but Caroline stops just outside the door as we hear her mum's voice.
"Can you keep Caroline far away from me, please? I don't wanna see her" Sheriff Forbes says and I immediately look at Caroline who has tears in her eyes. I walk over and place my arm around her waist for comfort.
"She's your daughter, Liz" Damon says to her.
"Not anymore. My daughter's gone" Sheriff Forbes states and I can't help but feel upset for Caroline.
Damon looks over at Caroline, "You have no idea how wrong you are about that".
Caroline turns to leave and I follow behind her as we walk into the living room. Stefan and Elena stay down there. "Are you okay, Care? You know she doesn't mean it, she's just confused" I try and comfort her as we sit on the lounge.
Caroline shakes her head as tears fall, "My mum hates me".
Immediately I embrace her, "Shh no she doesn't, Care. She just needs time, she'll understand, shh". As Caroline starts to come down I ask her, "Do you need me to take you home?".
"I can't go home" Caroline shakes her head.
"Why not?" I ask confused.
"Because I'm scared" Caroline tells me.
I place my hand on her knee, "Why are you scared? Caroline, you can talk to me".
"Katherine's gonna be there and she's gonna want me to tell her everything that happened today. She told me I had to spy on you and Elena and report back to her" Caroline tells me remorsefully.
I nod, "We know, and Elena's been so mad at you. But I put myself in your shoes, so I could understand why you would do this. Who did she threaten?".
"Matt, she threatened Matt and I'm scared of her Klary" I am so scared of her" Caroline tells me.
I agree, "And you should be, we all should be".
"Why is she doing this? What does she want?" Caroline asks me.
I shrug, "That's the million dollar question" and then I hug her, "It'll be okay".
•••
A little while later, Caroline had fallen asleep whilst Elena was upstairs with Stefan. I decided to head home and as I headed for the door, Damon walks in front of me and goes to speak but I put my finger to my mouth, "Caroline's sleeping on the couch" I tell him softly.
"I heard, and you?" he asks me.
"I'm going home" I reply before walking to the door but before I leave, I turn around. "What you did for Caroline's mum, that's the Damon that I was fall-" I cut myself off abruptly as I realize what I was about to say. I cast my eyes down before I feel Damon standing directly in front of me and when I look up his eyes are soft.
"Can we talk outside?" Damon asks me and I slowly nod before we step outside. Closing the door behind me I hear Damon sigh, "I'm sorry".
Raising my eyebrows I ask him, "For what?".
"For kissing Katherine, and for what I did to Jeremy. There's no excuse but I truly am sorry" Damon apologizes and when I look in his eyes, I know it's the truth.
"It's okay" I say to him but Damon shakes his head.
"No, it's not okay" Damon sighs before unexpectedly saying, "I'm no good for you".
"Damon…" I trail off.
"I want to be, though, good for you. But I know I'm going to screw up and do the wrong thing, and you're gonna get hurt" Damon replies.
Shaking my head I tell him, "You think I don't know that, Damon? I get it. You're dangerous, you're impulsive, you're messy and you're complicated. But I knew all that the second I met you. Damon, I know you".
It's quiet for a moment, "You know, I've spent the entire night and day trying to think of a reason to make you stay but nothing that came to my mind made sense" he tells me and I cast my eyes down. Damon gently pinches my chin and makes me look up, "And then I realized that this, is real. I've spent one hundred and forty-five years chasing a lie. I've done things I'm not proud of, and I know I don't deserve you but I'm selfish, Angel. I can't lose you. I can't lose the first real thing I've ever had".
Placing my hand against his cheek, softly all I tell him, "We're real". At my statement, a smile graces Damon's lips. Slowly, Damon leans down and presses a gentle kiss on my lips. And in this moment, everything was okay.
A/N - Aw, look at Damon being all mature. And finally, they made up! I hope you liked this chapter, and thank you for all the reviews, favourites, and follows. Thank you for reading xx
