Hello all! This is the other half of the chapter that I stop from yesterday because it was getting long. I worked all day on this one. This chapter is close to the last one so I you think you missed something, go back and read the chapter before this.

Thanks again to all the follows/favs/reviewers/guest


Last night after The Grill

A vibrant red sports car speeds down the street and stops easily in a parking spot in front of a large brick building. Mystic Falls Sheriff station. Stefan looks up at the building still not even sure he wants to go in. He knows how unbelievably pissed Caroline will be at him for interfering but he also knows Caroline very well and she will try to avoid her mother like the plague. He has already tried to call Caroline and no response to his ten text messages either. He only hoped that she was safely at Matt Donovan's house and that any of the Originals did not decide to follow after her tonight once everyone left The Grill. A hand goes over top his face and rubs his eyes, trying to think of how bad this is going to go with Liz Forbes at his house tomorrow, not to mention Elena and Bonnie. From the little Caroline has talked about her time away from Mystic Falls she hasn't had it easy and she hasn't said it directly but Stefan is almost positive that she blames Elena for her fathers involvement. If he was being honest, it probably had not been Elena's smartest idea but it was not done out of hate towards Caroline, Elena just wanted to helping her and everything went horribly wrong.

Stefan had vamp sped back home, following Damon to make sure he didn't go do anything stupid before deciding to drive back to find the sheriff. Sometimes, Stefan feels like a father to everyone instead of a brother or a friend. He reached over and grabbed his leather jacket as he stepped out his red sports card and threw it on over his dark green v neck and denim jeans. Liz's car was parked off to the side, so she must be in her office doing paper work. The doors swung open and Stefan almost stumbled right over top of the blonde haired, blue eyed Sheriff herself as she wore her usually brown Sheriff uniform with black jacket.

"Stefan, is something wrong? I haven't received any calls. I was just about to go make my rounds. " Liz knew if Stefan was here, it wasn't for any good reasons.

"Alright look, I'll get right to the point. Caroline is in back in town and her father is close behind and probably his hunter friends as well. She won't answer my calls right now but we just left The Grill were she met the Originals, " Liz's face went pale, not wanting Stefan to finish his sentence. " She's fine just had a run in with Klaus but weirdly enough, Rebekah was there to stop him. She also mentioned that Bill was after you this time and it sounds like he is trying to trap Caroline or something."

"She won't answer if I call her either Stefan and as far as Bill goes, let him try. I have wanted a bullet in his skull since he started chasing Caroline two years ago." Liz said sternly. She hasn't seen her daughter since she took off out of Mystic Falls and Liz knows Caroline blames her for not stopping her father back when she was sixteen and still human.

"Come to the Boarding House tomorrow and I'm going to call her non stop until she answers and shows up. We all need to get together on this and figure out how to keep everyone safe and hope we can avoid any human casualties. Elena and Bonnie are coming tomorrow to and it wont exactly go well. Damon followed me to The Grill last night and you know how he loves to rial people up."

Liz rolled her eyes and shook her head. " Of course he did. I have a late shift tomorrow so I can come by before I go to the station. I have to run now but I'll see you tomorrow." She patted Stefan's shoulder as she walked off to her Sheriff's car. Stefan watched after and thought to himself "Well this is going to be fun."


All Caroline saw were flashes of tree branches and dirt as she whooshed with her vampire speed over to the Salvatore Boarding House. She really did love to run and not just since she was a vampire but back in her cheerleader days she would get up early before school to take a run around the block. Looking back now it was probably all the leftover energy she had from the hunter gene. It gave Caroline a nice bit of peace and freedom, something now she most certainly did not get. It took just a matter of a minute to run from the Donovan house to the Boarding House. Caroline stopped in front of the large wood door to straighten her outfit and curly blonde hair that was placed in a ponytail while she ran. She shook her hair out and let the curls fall down around her shoulders. She decided to change into a yellow sundress with red flowers printed along the whole length and a long white cardigan to match. She looked down at her once immaculate white flats and saw nothing but mud splatters. She scolded herself for having ran now and kicked of the dirty shoes and walked in without knocking. Stefan had been calling or texting her non stop since last night after The Grill so if they were up to something that Caroline shouldn't know about well it was there own fault.

"Salvatore's! Come out, come out wherever you are!" Caroline called out into the large house, dropping her shoes by the door and sauntered down the hallway to the Salvatore's study, it's never to early to grab a drink. She didn't hear anything as she walked and they must have ran out to get the girls for their talk this afternoon. She turned the corner to walk into the massive sitting room and froze when she saw someone sitting on the couch. A man clad in heavy boots, dark denim, a fitted long sleeve shirt with jacket. He was draped in all black. He was almost camouflaged in the dark room but his smirk could probably be seen from space.

"Your not a Salvatore." she stated the obvious, crossing her arms to her chest.

"And people say that blondes have no brains. " He smirk and rose from the couch. Klaus eyed her bright dress that seem to bring out the green in her eyes and her perfectly curly hair over her shoulders. He smiled a genuine smile when he noticed her bare feet and nodded his head as he spoke. " Run off and forget something did we?"

Caroline glanced down and rolled her eyes, " I ran here and made a detour in the woods. It was a bit muddy so I left them at the door. Some of us have manners and don't treat others homes as if it were there own." She lift an eyebrow and headed for the liquor cabinet. Damon was a dick but she had the best taste in alcohol.

" Says the girl that took her shoes off and made herself at home." He followed after her to the liquor cabinet, selected the finest bourbon and poured them both a glass. Klaus handed her a crystal tumbler and spoke further, "Well, if I had known we would be arriving together, then we could have carpooled. A lady shouldn't be wondering lost in the woods and alone. Not if she is assumed to be fleeing for her life from hunter's and all. " Caroline ignored his remark and walked over to the curtains, pulling them open at each window to allow more light in. She turned to face Klaus, drinking from the bourbon he gave her,

"Have you talked to Rebekah today?" Caroline asked almost nervous and praying to whatever Gods there were that Rebekah kept her mouth shut. She walked over to sit on the massive leather couch and Klaus followed along with her only sitting a few feet away. His right arm was placed over the back of he couch, the other holding the bourbon glass.

"Yes Bekah stated you had a secret meeting over at the quarterback's house. I feel hurt I wasn't invited, and my dear sister informs me that I am not to be told what went on. You can imagine how irritating that can be for someone like me, family betrayal happens quite often with us Mikealson's." Klaus' firm tone clearly stated he wanted answers to what went on this morning. Caroline exhaled loudly, pulling her legs up on the couch placing her hands on her lap. She was now fully facing down the devil himself and was getting irritated with his line of questions.

"Rebekah wasn't conspiring against you and neither am I just to be clear. We made a deal that none of the Originals come after me and I would explain some things to her about my past. There are things that you don't need to know about me and maybe in a year or century, Rebekah will break her promise and tell you. By then I will be long gone and well hidden from you so you can't find me. I am only in Mystic Falls long enough to end my father or the hunters and I'll disappear and never be seen again. " Caroline looked down to her hands with her face in a deep frown but she forced herself to look up at Klaus again. " My father is a vampire hunter that wants to kill me because I'm obviously a vampire and he despise vampires. Although, he is too much of a coward to actually kill me himself and he just sends his hunter friends after me. I haven't actually seen him face to face in years. I hope to say this again for the last time, I do not want to harm you family or kill them, or anything other than just tolerate each other while we are together."

Klaus studied her features and the deep frown that now resting on her face. "What is it about this little vampire." Klaus pondered to himself. She had been tortured and chased by her own flesh and blood. The story mirrored parts of his own life story and there were most certainly things that he did not want to relive. That still didn't explain why Rebekah wanted to know about her and Rebekah never did anything just for the sake of doing it. There is more to Caroline than meets the eye and Klaus was curious to find out what had happened to her. "OK." was all Klaus could get out because as he went to open his mouth to further question, the oldest Salvatore walked in the sitting room,

"Please come in and make yourself at home. Mi casa es su casa." Damon stated as he went to inspect his liquor cabinet, sarcasm dripping off of every word. "I'm so glad you broke out the 65 year old bottle, not like I was saving that for something special."

"For what Damon, when you finally get the girl?" Klaus never took his eyes off Caroline but could still see in the corner of his eye the oldest Salvatore rolling his. He noticed Caroline lips twitch lightly as a small smile played on her lips as she looked back at Klaus and he couldn't help but look at them. He finally turned his full body towards Damon and continued, " I heard there was another meeting of the minds today and thought I'd tag along. Seeing how all your brilliant plans to murder me have all gone terribly wrong, I figured one more couldn't hurt. Were is the rest of our merry bunch of fools?"

"Right here." Stefan offered as he stepped inside the room with Elena, Bonnie, and a third unexpected guest. Caroline immediately stiffens and her face turns into another scowl. Stefan neglected to mention that her mother would be here to greet her and Caroline was livid to say the least. If Caroline was going to speak to her mother today, it would be in a more private setting not in front of everyone she knows. It has been two years since the last time they saw one another and there was a lot to be said between the two Forbes women. This was not going to go well.

"Hey Care. It's been awhile since we last saw each other. How have you been?" Bonnie spoke up first, giving a true smile to Caroline. Elena stood a few feet behind her and Stefan had her arm around her, a protective move she assumed.

"Great." Caroline deadpanned, staring up at Bonnie from the couch. She could feel every eye in the room on her and heard Damon mutter under his breathe "This is going to go well." She could see the hurt on Bonnie's face and Elena decided to come forward,

"I know this is super awkward Care and it has been awhile since we've seen each other but we just want you to know we're sorry for what's been happening to you since you left Mystic Falls. I guess we all have gotten pretty busy the past year or so.."

"I haven't been busy Elena, I've been trying to survive." Caroline stood up from the couch and slow walked towards the girls. The Salvatore's now both stood right behind the girls waiting for Caroline to make a move and her mother stood on the opposite side of the room watching the scene unfold. " And I didn't just leave town on some vacation, I was forced out by my father after he spent days tormenting me for just being me. I'm not sure what you guys are expecting from me today, but it won't be giving out hugs and kisses. You guys being sorry doesn't change what happened and it doesn't change the fact that you just abandoned me. No calls, no anything and I've known you my entire life. "

"Elena didn't mean to start any of this. She was only trying to help you and at the time we were a bit put off by you suddenly being a vampire. " Bonnie tried to reason with Caroline but it was quickly becoming apparent that was not going to happen.

"No Bonnie if I remember correctly you hated me too once I turned." Caroline walked closer to Bonnie, crossing her arms over her chest. " I can still remember the look of disgust and horror on your face that night after the carnival. That same night when I ripped open that carnival workers throat and killed him. You didn't speak to me after that night and just a matter of days later my dad came for me and it has been years since I have even laid eyes on you." Bonnie's eyes shifted down and almost ashamed of her behavior.

"If I had known me telling your mother would have brought your dad to kill you Caroline, you know for a fact I would not have said anything. Damon and Liz are friends and we all knew he was vampire so how was I supposed to know that you becoming a vampire would have signed you death warrant." Elena's eyes shifted around before you continued. "And since we're being honest now, you were a freshly turned vampire. You lived with your still human mother, I mean you could have lost control and killed her. She had the right to know what she was living with. That she was living with a .."

"Monster. Right I get it." Caroline dropped her arms to her sides and just stared at her friends. This was going about as good as she had expected it to. Caroline had to get a grip on her emotions, she could not breakdown in front of all these people. She shut her eyes and pinched her fingers on the bridge of her nose. Her eyes shot open at the sound of a new voice that finally spoke.

"Caroline sweetie, I know you blame Elena for what happened but you can't. There was no way of knowing your father would have reacted in the way he did. I have known him since we were children, we both grew up hating vampires. It was just how the founding families were raised and some people just can't be that understanding." Liz pleaded with her daughter as she crossed the room to stand a few feet away. Caroline cocked her head to the side and looked over her mother's features. She hadn't changed a bit, still not giving up her uniform to come talk to her long lost daughter.

"Maybe so. Maybe if that was all this was about, my father hating vampires and wanting to wipe them off the face of the earth. But it's not all there is, right mother. He wanted to used and manipulate me, mold me into some twisted killing machine to have at his beck and call. Then maybe we could just sweep all this under the rug, join together to take down Bill Forbes once and for all." Caroline threw her arms in air and gestured towards the others in the room before setting her eyes back on Liz. " But that's not how real life works. I'm still pissed at all of you for bringing all of this to my doorstep, I'm pissed at Stefan for interfering and I'm ... just disappointed in you." Caroline trailed off as she stared at her mother. Liz Forbes face was blank and on the verge of tears as were her daughter's. Caroline blinked letting a tear fall down her cheek and stole a glance around at the other's in the room. They stared blank looks at her, even Klaus who had been a witness to the event, just sat still on the couch not making a sound. Without another word, Caroline turned and went to leave when she was stopped by Stefan,

"Don't leave Care, we still need to come up with a plan.."

"I don't need your help or anyone else's. I managed to survive the past two years, I think I can handle a few more days. So if you will excuse me, there is a bottle at The Grill that is just calling my name."
