Disclaimer: I do not own anything related to The Vampire Diaries, TV show or books. However I decided to have a little play around with the characters (I would definitely like to play with Damon).
Sorry about the delay with the release of this chapter. I may or may not be coming down with manflu. Fingers crossed I'm not, but if I am, the next chapters may take a little longer to get out while I spend a bit more time sleeping.
Elena had just finished her Occult studies class with Ric who was trying to discover who the undercover Gemini witches were. Fortunately for Ric, he wouldn't have to work too hard to get an invite into Whitmore House as there had been a staff meeting there that morning and the owner of the house, had inadvertently asked him. That meant they just needed to get Elena, Caroline and Stefan an invite onto the property as Damon intended to be invited in via a different method.
Elena was on her way to Caroline and Bonnie's dorm, where she was also due to meet Damon and Stefan to meet up for the bonfire, when she noticed a guy knelt at the ever growing shrine to Megan. Wondering if he knew Megan, Elena walked over to him and decided to try to find out who he was. Confirming her suspicions, he sighed at the memorial as she approached
"Hey." Elena said to him.
"Hey." the guy replied, not turning to look at Elena, instead continuing to stare at the memorial.
"I'm Elena." Elena introduced herself. Megan used to be my roommate. Did you know her?" she asked.
"We knew each other growing up." he told her.
"Oh, wow. I'm sorry." Elena winced, realizing this might be the one other person who Megan had claimed to know on campus, which according to Megan's phone, just happened to be Aaron Whitmore. But Elena knew she needed to play ignorant of that fact, and get him to introduce himself.
Still seemingly ignoring her, the guy, who Elena believed to be Aaron, grabbed an old wilted flower from the shrine and stood up.
"Pretty sad memorial, huh?" Aaron said sadly. "Guess it's not exactly cool to mourn during fall rush." he huffed.
"Everyone mourns differently. Some do flowers. Others do what their loved ones would've wanted." Elena sighed wistfully.
"Yeah. Well, what Megan would have wanted was to still be here alive." Aaron said through gritted teeth.
"They said she committed suicide." Elena frowned.
"Yeah. I know. That's what they said." Aaron replied sarcastically, however he didn't venture any other suggestions.
"So then, what do you think happened?" Elena asked curiously as he picked his bag up from the floor.
"Yeah. If you care about her, get her sunflowers." Aaron told her. "She liked those." he nodded as he rudely turned around and walked away.
"Hey, do you have a name?" Elena called out to him, hoping he'd confirm her suspicions.
"Yeah. I do." Aaron said, once again refusing to divulge any further information as he kept walking away.
Elena sighed and shrugged. She needed to know if that guy was Aaron, because if it was, she would try and find a way to get to know him, meaning she'd get an invite into Whitmore House. If Elena was in the house, she stood a better chance of helping rescue Enzo. She figured if she was directly involved in the rescue mission and Enzo knew that, there was less of a chance Enzo would want to enact revenge on those who helped him escape, and hopefully that would extend to the family of those who helped him. She just wanted to make sure the baby and Jeremy were safe.
Elena turned around and started back to the dorm when she heard a voice from behind her.
"I didn't think Elena Gilbert would give up so easily." Dr. Maxfield said, causing her to turn around.. "Sorry about being a hard-ass earlier. It's kind of my thing. You're Grayson Gilbert's daughter, aren't you?" he smiled apologetically.
"You knew my dad?" Elena asked, wide-eyed with fake surprise. Everything was falling into place regarding him being the potential Augustine researcher.
"Knew of him." Dr. Maxfield corrected her. "He's a legend around here. Brilliant. I've studied all his research. I can only hope to do the kind of work he did." he said, a hint of admiration in his voice.
"So, does that mean that he forged death certificates, too?" Elena asked sarcastically, raising an eyebrow.
"And here I thought you were just passionate about microbiology." Dr. Maxfield's face dropped. "I have office hours tomorrow. Come by, we can chat." he offered.
"Um, yeah, I would, but I've got other important things on my plate right now." Elena nodded as she realized she had an appointment with her obstetrician the next day.
"Let me know when that plate clears." Dr. Maxfield said as walked away, leaving Elena stood speechless in the same spot, for a moment before turning to quickly head for the dorm.
Damon and Elena had agreed to meet up at Caroline and Bonnie's dorm before heading of to the bonfire party. Elena had instructed him on which clothes and make-up to bring with him, so she could get ready there, while Stefan would arrive a little later. Damon had agreed to go for two reasons, the first to try and sort out the Stefan and Caroline issue. As far as Damon was concerned, they were perfect for each other, they just didn't know it as Caroline was still hung up on Tyler, or maybe even Klaus, if what Elena told him was true about Blondie sleeping with the evil hybrid. He and Elena, along with Bon Bon (Damon had decided to upgrade her name status to something more affectionate as they were going to be working together as psychic walkie talkies), had decided to split duties.
The girls were going to go together and he would wait behind for Stefan. Caroline, Elena and Bonnie would meet up with this Jesse guy and hopefully he and Caroline would flirt. Meanwhile he would turn up with Stefan who would hopefully get jealous and realize Caroline was the love of his life, and they could all live happily ever after. Although having Caroline as a potential sister-in-law would result in an eternity of misery for Damon from her insulting jibes, but he was prepared to put up with that to give his brother even a shred of happiness he currently enjoyed.
The second reason was to test the walkie talkie theory with Bon Bon. This he hadn't talked over with either her or Elena. He was going to suggest a double feed, maybe the Jesse guy would be a good start, and see if they could hear each other. If Elena felt uncomfortable with the guy Caroline was flirting with, then it would have to be some stranger. That way he and Elena could chat with Bon Bon to see how project Stefan and Caroline was going and maybe send suggestions from afar. In the meantime he hoped Stefan, Bonnie and Caroline could try and find out as much as possible from Jesse about Dr Maxfield, who happened to be one of his professors. As far as Damon was aware, Jesse was the closest link they had to the intense, creepy professor.
With a bag containing Elena's party wear, Damon walked into the dorm, knowing Bon Bon was still in her class, and the only people who could be in the dorm were Caroline, Stefan and Elena. As he'd seen all three naked at some point in their lives, he decided he wasn't seeing nothing he hadn't seen before, although granted Stefan had been two the last time he saw his brother without clothes.
Caroline had just gotten out of the shower and was looking at her reflection in the full wearing only a towel, when she heard the door open. She turned around, expecting to see Elena, but was stunned to find Damon stood there instead.
"Damon! Towel, knock!" Caroline shrieked.
"Caroline. No one cares, no." Damon shuddered dramatically. "Hey, where's Elena?" he asked.
"I don't know. She should be back by now." Caroline frowned. "Can you please turn around and not look." she snapped.
"It's nothing I haven't seen before remember?" Damon reminded Caroline smugly as she simply glared at him. "Fine." he sighed, as he sat on one of the beds with his back turned. "You do know it's rude to talk to someone with their back turned." he said.
"Who said we were talking?" Caroline said.
"Well it appears you might be our best link to Dr. Creepy." Damon told her. "The guy who has the hots for you was in the micro-whatever class today, which means you are on flirt duty." he said.
"Why me?" Caroline asked as she started to put her make-up on.
"Because A he has the hots for you, B you are single and C...what I said about both A and B." Damon told her, leaving out the other motive of making Stefan jealous, although Caroline didn't need to know that part.
Right at that moment the door suddenly opened and Elena stormed in, seemingly unperturbed by the fact her boyfriend was sat in the same room as her best friend who was practically naked. Elena knew Damon would never cheat on her, it wasn't in his nature. But even if it was, Caroline was the last person on the planet he'd cheat on her with. He'd rather gouge his his own eyes out than get involved in any romantic activity with Caroline. Not that he hated Caroline, but his feelings for her were more of a sibling-like relationship, except Caroline being a sister he didn't get on with.
"Megan's memorial outside is growing by the minute." Elena told them as Damon got up, walked over to Elena and kissed her.
"Ugh, college kids are so dramatic."Caroline sighed, squirming at the sight of Damon and Elena being so affectionate. "She was on campus for, like, one day. She couldn't have made that many friends." she snapped.
"Caroline, she's dead. You can stop competing with her." Elena said wearily. "And it looks like I might have found her one friend." she said.
"Aaron Whitmore?" Damon asked.
"Don't know." Elena shrugged. "He wouldn't tell me his name." she said.
"Didn't you try compelling him?" Damon frowned as Elena shook her head.
"I'm sure it's him though." Elena told them. "He said they grew up together."
"Well that's a start." Caroline shrugged. "Next time I suggest you compel him and ask him to invite all of us into Whitmore house." she snapped.
"Are you okay Caroline?" Elena frowned.
"Sorry, I'm in a mood." Caroline growled.
"You talked to Tyler." Elena guessed..
"He's deferring from enrolling and deferring from returning my phone calls." Caroline replied.
"Great." Damon grinned mischievously at Elena. "You can flirt without a guilty conscience with this Jefferey guy." he smirked.
"It's Jesse." Caroline snapped.
"Whatever." Damon sighed and shook his head.
"You know what else happened and why I'm late?" Elena said smugly. "Dr Maxfield asked me to visit him at his lab."
"I hope you said no." Damon frowned.
"Of course I did." Elena folded her arms. "We're going to see Jo tomorrow. Remember?" she said.
"It's all here in my planner." Damon smiled holding his phone up. "So what did Dr Frankenstein have to say?" he asked. "Did he admit to forging the death certificate?"
"No. but I think it's why he asked me to go to his lab tomorrow." Elena told them. "He also said he'd studied my dad's research."
"Bingo!" Damon chimed. "And Dr. Frankenstein reveals himself. Nobody goes near his lab unless you want to end up as a test subject." he said sternly as Bonnie opened the door and walked in.
"What's going on?" she frowned.
"Elena has found Aaron Whitmore, Dr Frankenstein has revealed himself and Blondie is on flirt duty." Damon told her. "Which brings me back to one of our little projects. I was thinking, wouldn't the bonfire party be a good place to start our little psychic link trials?" he asked. "Plenty of people who right now you don't know. Booze and dark woods. Easy to compel. Perfect conditions?" he looked to Elena and Bonnie. "So girls. Are you in?" he asked as Bonnie and Elena looked to each other before nodding reluctantly. "Good." Damon grinned. "I'm peckish."
Elena, Caroline and Bonnie left the dorm just before Stefan arrived, just like Damon planned. He, Elena and Bonnie had given Stefan the wrong time to meet them there, and Damon had offered to wait there for his brother. The plan was they would head off to the party, once Damon and Stefan got there, Damon would walk them around in circles, trying not to find the girls. All the while Damon had been secretly texting Elena to see if they'd found Jesse. Damon told her he was desperate to see her, as her meeting with Dr. Maxfield had gotten him worried that the doctor was onto her.
Once the girls had found Jesse, Elena text Damon to tell him they'd found him and where they were, meaning Damon could finally steer Stefan in the right direction of the girls location. She put her phone away and began to fill a cup with beer from a keg, however the tap got stuck, and even her vampire strength seemed to be failing her. Fortunately Jesse arrived to save the day.
"I got that." Jesse smiled as he finished filling her cup before handing it to her. "There's a knack to..." he started as he watched Elena drink the beer in one. "Whoa...uh..." he started as Elena shook her head grinning. "Where's your friends?" he asked changing the subject.
"Boyfriend drama." Elena lied. "Actually more like best friend ex boyfriend drama for Caroline." she corrected herself realizing she was trying to get Jesse to flirt with Caroline, and as Stefan was her ex, this version was more or less truthful. "They're about somewhere." she frowned as she heard Bonnie's voice. Elena turned around and waved over to Bonnie and Caroline who ran over to join her.
"Wow. Boyfriend drama, kicked out of class...today's not your day." Jesse laughed.
"What is his deal, anyway?" Elena asked, deciding Jesse might be a useful source of information other than to use to flirt with Caroline.
""Dr. Dickfield"?" Jesse asked.
"Yeah, him." Elena replied as Bonnie and Caroline filled their cups with beer.
"Tell you what...help me grab some more firewood, and I will tell you everything you need to know." Jesse smiled.
"Do you mind if they join us?" Elena asked. "That way they can make an informed decision about micro-whatever in future." she grinned.
"Of course. This way." Jesse smiled as he led them to a well-lit shed, where Elena text Damon to let him know where they were.
"I had Dr. Maxfield for a few classes last year. He's a jerk, but he's brilliant, so I'll give him a pass." Jesse explained.
"Brilliant and creepy." Elena raised an eyebrow as Jesse grabbed a block of firewood with a sharp end and held it in front of him while he told them what he'd heard.
Jesse looked around furtively before lowering his head to Elena. "There's a rumor that he's...a part of this secret society on campus." he whispered.
"What, like middle-aged men at an elk lodge?" Elena asked.
"I have no idea. All I know is that a few times a week, they supposedly meet at Whitmore House. But you didn't hear that from me." Jesse shook his head.
"How many times?" Caroline compelled him while he was still holding the stick.
"I don't know." Jesse replied blankly.
Once Damon received the text to find out the girls had found Jesse and where they were, he started to lead Stefan in the general direction of where Elena had told him to go. He knew they weren't far as Elena had told him they were in a log store near the bonfire itself. While they were walking, they were discussing what Elena had told Damon about her conversation with Dr. Maxfield.
"Just because Dr. Maxfield signed the death certificate, doesn't mean he's the Augustine doctor?" Stefan said.
"What else could he be? The guy practically admitted it." Damon asked. "Meredith Fell signed the death certificates as animal attacks because she was part of the Founders council." he insisted. "Takes knowing one to spot one."
"I don't know. Maybe the police have something on him and are blackmailing him." Stefan suggested as Damon looked at him like he was an idiot. "Fine, it's suspicious. I agree."
"Gee, thanks, Stefan. Your hindsight is invaluable in this situation." Damon rolled his eyes causing him to bump into a guy who was taller and significantly more muscular than Damon.
"Watch where you're going, douche." the guy threatened Damon.
Damon wanted to laugh at the threat, knowing in their case, size didn't matter and he could kill the guy with one hand, instead he tried and alternate approach first. "Have you seen Elena Gilbert?" he asked.
"I have no idea who that is, and if I were her, I'd probably run from you, too." the student replied, riling Damon up.
"Wrong answer." Damon growled as he grabbed the guy by the throat, however Stefan managed to stop Damon.
"Forget all this and get out of here." Stefan compelled the guy, who walked away.
"You have to calm down." Stefan glared at Damon. "What is wrong with you?" he asked.
"Doctor Dick invited Elena to his lab." Damon said trying to calm down. "I think he's onto her. If he is, he could be onto you too, and possibly even Blondie. How are we going to manage to convince him you're not vampires?" he asked.
Stefan thought for a moment when he had an idea. "You said Elena thought she met Aaron." he said as Damon nodded. "We need to find him and see if he's on vervain. If not we can compel him to invite you, me, Elena and Caroline into Whitmore house while Dr. Maxfield is elsewhere giving a lecture." he started as Damon began to see where Stefan was going with his theory.
"Compel Aaron to forget he'd ever done it." Damon nodded. "And then what?" he frowned.
"Elena and I go and see Dr. Maxfield." Stefan told him. "We could explain we're on the Founders council at Mystic Falls. And when Elena saw the bite marks on Megan's neck, she knew what it was. Being on the Founders Council obviously makes us very nosy when it comes to vampire business. We could even ask him to call Liz." he suggested.
"And why bring me into it?" Damon raised an eyebrow.
"You're head of the Founders council in Mystic Falls. He might want to say hello." Stefan suggested as they approached a log store, from where the voices of Elena, Bonnie, Caroline and the man Stefan recognized as Jesse from the Microbiology lecture.
"And he might want to test whether we're vampires or being nosy by arranging a meeting at Whitmore house." Damon nodded as a grin appeared on his face. "Little brother, you've been spending too much time in my presence. It's clearly rubbing off on you. You actually came up with a half decent plan for a change. Although I'm reluctant to let Elena go anywhere near Dr. Maxfield." he said as Damon and Stefan opened the door to the log shed only to see Caroline stood in front of a man who had what looked like a stake in his hand. Damon reacted instantly and hit the guy on the head, knocking him out.
"Damon? What the hell?" Elena cried.
Caroline crouched down next to Jesse on the floor and looked up to Damon. "Seriously Damon?" she frowned. "That's Jesse. I kind of liked him."
Elena grabbed hold of Damon and pulled him out of the cabin, followed by Bonnie and Stefan. "What the hell just happened?" she asked.
"That guy had a stake in his hand, I thought he was going to kill Blondie." Damon frowned.
"That guy is Jesse, the one who is flirting with Caroline." Elena put her hands on her hips.
"With a stake?" Damon frowned.
"We were collecting firewood. It's a log store." Elena shook her head.
"Sorry." Damon lowered his eyes. "I thought he was going to hurt you." he said. "Ever since you spoke to Dr. Maxfield, I've been worried he was onto you. How was I supposed to know that guy wasn't one of his little spies. I heard him telling you about the meetings." he said.
"Well he's not." Elena sighed, trying to think of a way to keep Damon away from Jesse and to calm him down at the same time. "Look I've got an idea. You and I will go feed for a moment. Then Stefan can keep you away and lets see if Bonnie and I can send some soothing calming signals your way." she smirked. "I've got an idea, I want to see if we can make you laugh."
"Fat chance." Stefan muttered.
"We'll leave Caroline with Jesse, who won't stake her." Elena glared at Damon. "We feed, Bonnie and I will go and chat with them while you two stay out of the way and drink beer, and be like a normal boyfriends." she suggested.
"Fine." Damon sighed.
"You think this is really a good idea?" Bonnie asked.
"It's a good start. We need to affect Damon's mood." Elena replied.
"Okay." Bonnie agreed. "You two go feed. Stefan and I will wait for you back here with beer." she said as Damon and Elena left to feed.
"Won't be long." Elena called out as she and Damon disappeared.
Jesse was awake and sat up, recovering from Damon's punch when Caroline returned with the only thing she could find which would take the bruising down from Jesse's face, a popsicle. She didn't want to feed him vampire blood without his permission, as her experience with her dad had made her more wary of doing that ever since.
"Sorry, this was all I could find out there." Caroline apologized showing him a frozen popsicle, which she held up against the ever growing bruise on Jesse's face. "Sorry my friend went aggro. He's got anger issues." she said.
"And a serious right-hook. But hey, it got us alone together, so that's a win." Jesse smiled causing Caroline to laugh shyly, lowering her eyes to the ground. Jesse lifted a hand and tenderly brushed her hair away from her face.
"I have a boyfriend." Caroline started as she pulled the popsicle away from Jesse's face and sat back.
"And where is he...other than not here?" Jesse asked, raising and eyebrow.
"Well, he was supposed to be here." Caroline told him. "He deferred a semester. You don't have to say anything, I know how these things go... people go to school and they drift apart." she sighed.
"Yeah, and sometimes they don't." Jesse said.
"Exactly. Sometimes they don't." Caroline agreed.
"And sometimes you change, but what you had still means something." Jesse nodded.
"Yes! Yes." Caroline said excitedly.
"And sometimes when you're thinking all those things, your girlfriend is moving on, and sleeping with somebody back home, and has no intention of getting back with you." Jesse sighed sadly.
"Oh, my god. Ugh. I am so sorry." Caroline put her hand over her mouth.
Jesse laughed quietly. "It was a while ago. And honestly, until the worst actually happened, I wouldn't listen to anybody telling me otherwise. I could always find an excuse. So, I get it." he smiled as Caroline smiled back before returning the popsicle to his cheek. "Hey, I'm gonna get another beer, you want one?" he asked
"Sure." Caroline replied as Jesse walked off to get them a drink. A moment later Bonnie and Elena returned and sat with her. "Has Damon calmed down from being Damon yet?" she asked.
"Stefan's talking to him." Bonnie nodded.
"What was wrong with him?" Caroline asked.
"When he saw Jesse standing in front of you with what looked like a stake, he thought Jesse was going to attack us all and got...protective." Elena started.
"Sending the baby into overdrive and making Damon go postal." Caroline sighed. "Wonderful." she shook her head.
"I should've done a magic drain from the baby this morning but we forgot." Bonnie admitted.
"I guess the feeding session is off." Caroline shrugged.
"Actually no." Bonnie told her. "Damon and Elena just had a quick feed. Damon should be fine in a moment. Instead Elena and I are trying to stay calm, see if we can try the use the psychic link on Damon from here. Which brings me to a question." she smirked.
"Go on Bonnie Bennett." Caroline sighed.
"Well in order to try with the psychic link. We need something that is likely to bring out a strong feeling." Bonnie explained. "Clearly something calming, soothing or funny." she continued. "So, Elena and I were wanting to know if our suspicions about graduation were true." she smiled.
"What suspicions." Caroline looked at them furtively.
"Umm...You and Klaus." Elena whispered. "You never turned up at the house, or anywhere after the ceremony. And you had the biggest grin on your face the next day. Come on Caroline, spill, we won't judge. I promise." she said.
"Elena dates Damon, she is exempt from being judgy." Bonnie assured Caroline.
Caroline took a deep breath. "Fine. I slept with him." she lowered her eyes.
"Oh my god!" Elena laughed.
"You didn't." Bonnie smirked. "Was it good?" she asked. "Was he the benchmark level you two share?" she asked, meaning Damon.
Caroline frowned. "I guess Klaus is more of a warrior than a lover." she shrugged.
"Klaus!?" came Tyler's voice from behind as all three swung around to see Tyler behind them, his face a mixture of hurt, anger and disgust. "You slept with Klaus?" he asked as he turned around and stormed off. Caroline got up and ran after him.
Just a moment after they left, Stefan and Damon arrived.
"What just happened?" Stefan asked.
"Tyler turned up." Elena said nervously.
"And overheard us talking about graduation, and what happened between Caroline and Klaus." Bonnie lowered her head, deciding not to expand on what had been said..
"We need to find them." Elena got up. "He's angry, and if he gets out of control, we're going to need Klaus's blood, and who knows where that will lead." she said.
"You two stay here, we'll go look for them." Stefan agreed.
"They went that way." Bonnie pointed in the direction they'd gone. And with that, Stefan and Damon disappeared at vamp-speed.
Tyler had found an empty log store to stop. Caroline and been following him, she needed to explain, although she wasn't exactly sure what she could say to make things right. It wasn't as if she and Tyler were a couple at the time.
"Get out." Tyler shouted.
"Just let me explain." Caroline begged sheepishly.
"No. Let me." Tyler snapped. "Klaus killed thousands of people; Elena's aunt, an entire pack of hybrids - my friends- Caroline, he killed my mom." he said. He was so angry he snapped a piece of wood next to him, which Caroline jumped at the sight of. But she knew Tyler would never hurt her, he just needed to listen to her.
"I know, I know. I'm so sorry." Caroline whispered as she gradually inched towards Tyler.
"Just stop." Tyler bellowed. "I walked out last time because it was the right thing to do. Because I was on the run from Klaus and I was worried he might hurt you. Did you bargain my freedom by sleeping with him?" he asked.
"No." Caroline shook her head.
"So he slept you either for revenge on me, or because he had the hots for you, or both." Tyler looked at Caroline in disgust. "You fucked him Caroline. You fucked the man who destroyed my life. You, the woman I loved..." he started.
"I thought we were broken up." Caroline cried.
"Does it matter?" Tyler frowned. "If you'd thought about why we broke up, you'd have still cared enough not to fuck him. Or is it because you actually have feelings for him?" he asked as Caroline's eyes dropped. "You do don't you? How Caroline? He's a fucking monster. He's tried to kill all of us, including you, and he's succeeded with some, including my mother. MY MOTHER CAROLINE!" he shouted. "If you'd have had even the smallest amount of love for me, you wouldn't have done it. So it leaves me to wonder what I actually meant to you huh? Am I a notch of the Caroline Forbes belt of conquests huh?" Caroline closed her eyes and sighed with despair. "Let's see if I've got this right. You've screwed Matt, me, Damon Salvatore and now Klaus Mikaelson." he continued as Damon and Stefan approached silently approached from behind. "So who was that gold standard you were talking about? I'm guessing it was the guy who treat you like shit. Would you be fucking him again if he wasn't already hooked up with Elena, or are you waiting for Stefan?" he snarled at Caroline who was, by this point crying.
"Tyler..." she sobbed.
"Now go Caroline." Tyler growled. "I came back for you. Now I can't even look at you."
"No, Tyler, please." Caroline hiccuped as she took another step towards Tyler.
"Don't take another step, Caroline." Tyler warned her.
"We were just..." Caroline started.
"I said LEAVE!" Tyler bellowed, as he began to wolf out, which finally forced Caroline to take a step back, when suddenly Stefan swooped in from seemingly out of nowhere, grabbed Tyler and pushed him up against the wall.
"You're drunk." Stefan warned.
"No I'm not, I'm angry." Tyler shouted. "Now get your hands off me." he cried as he fought against Stefan, however Damon helped his brother stop Tyler from doing something they knew he'd regret.
"What's the matter with you?" Stefan cried, confused by Tyler's behavior.
"You don't know?" Tyler scowled. "She screwed Klaus." he said looking up and down at Caroline as if she were a piece of dirt. "She's a fucking slut!"
Stefan looked at Caroline in shock at the news, not sure whether to believe what Tyler had said until she practically confirmed it by putting her hands on her head and leaving the log store in apparent shame. Stefan then turned back to Tyler and punched him in the face.
"You know, drunk or not, she doesn't deserve that." Stefan snarled as he turned his back to Tyler, who stood there mortified..
"Go Stefan!" Damon smiled proudly as he clapped his hand around Stefan's shoulder.
"I'll go find Caroline." Stefan told Damon quietly.
"I'll go back to Elena and Bon Bon." Damon smiled, knowing they'd be interested in the turn of events. Caroline had brought out Stefan's hero hair, maybe if he had to play her knight in shining armor they might get a little more cozy. They just needed the feed to work, and then maybe the night wasn't going to be a complete waste of time after all.
I know there wasn't much in the way of Delena this chapter, but there will be some sweet interaction in the next one I promise.
