Enjoy!

I try to update as much as I can because I'm on break, but I still have other stories to work on, TV to watch, time to waste, and family to spend time with!

Previously on Everything Changes...

"Awwww." I jutted out my bottom lip. "He's crazy about you girl! Be a doll and plan it!"

She thought for a moment, then shook her head again. "No."

'"Aw, come on. All you have to do," I smiled charmingly. "Is tell all your friends that there's a party at the Grill tonight, and they're invited. You're a popular girl, right? I'm sure you have tons of friends."

Elena groaned. "Fine."

I smirked triumphantly, and turned on my heel. "Thanks, Gilbert." I called over my shoulder, still grinning.

Elena didn't reply, simply rolled her eyes at me and mumbled something so low, that even my vampire senses couldn't pick up on it.

Caroline's POV

I was headed out to my car, when Damon pulled in.

"Hello, Blondie." he smirked, climbing out.

"Damon." I replied, rolling my eyes.

He was at my side in an instant, staring down at me with his intense gaze. "I'd like a favor from you." he said.

I cocked an eyebrow and broke his gaze, digging in my purse for my keys. "Why should I do anything for you?"

Damon chuckled lowly. "I would say because I'm an old vampire and can break any bone in your body if I pleased, but I know that wouldn't do anything." he paused. "But I'm saying it anyways. Blondie, do me this favor, and maybe, I won't do something rash." he shrugged, his smirk still there.

I sighed, still not finding my keys. "What, Damon?"

His grin widened and he leaned against my car. "You're going to help me solve this town's little vampire problem." he trailed off. "And- I want my crystal back." his long fingers tapped my chin, until I was looking at him. "I know you took it from Vicki's."

I scoffed. "Bonnie has it."

He nodded. "I know. Get it from her."

I laughed, right in his face. "She's my best friend, and you...well you're you! No. Get it yourself."

His eyes narrowed at me, and I huffed in frustration, realizing my keys were on my bed.

I didn't say anything more when I headed back inside, I simply left him standing here, a scowl creasing his forehead.

Third Person POV

Damon strode into Stefan's room, where Lexi and Stefan were talking about Elena. He wasn't surprised, really, Stefan always was stuck on Katherine's look-a-like.

"Funny you should ask!" he said in response to Lexi's, "What are we doing tonight?"

The curvy blonde raised an eyebrow at Stefan's older brother. "Well I wasn't asking you."

He shrugged in response. "There's a party at the grill. You'll love it."

Stefan scoffed. "I don't want a birthday party."

The elder raised an eyebrow. "Well it's not for you. It's a party party. No one's gonna know it's your birthday. And..." his eyes danced with mischief. "Elena's throwing it."

Stefan's face flashed with emotion for a second, before carefully concealing it from his brother. Lexi stared at Stefan hard, gauging his reaction, before her gaze rested on Damon.

"Stay away from her." he snarled, wanting to tackle his brother and throw him across the room.

"We're friends." Damon held up his hands innocently, trying to seem like a good little boy. "It's cool." His brother didn't even seem to relax, so Damon stopped even trying, and cut to the chase. "It's important for the town to see us out and about like normal folk. We need to blend."

Lexi rolled her eyes, not buying Damon's act for one second. She sipped her blood from the blood-bag, when he looked at her. "I prefer mine at 98.6."

Caroline's POV

I arrived home, carefully unloading groceries I had just purchased. When I had put everything in its' place, I sat on my bed, and answered Bonnie's texts.

Bonnie: You don't think I'm a freak now, do you? :(

Caroline: No! Of course not! (: I don't understand one thing though. If your Grams told you to keep a secret, why did you tell me?

Bonnie: Caroline Forbes! You are my best friend! I can't keep secrets from you! :)

Caroline: But you didn't tell Elena...

Bonnie: …

~0~

Later, at Mystic Grill

I was sitting in my booth, alone, waiting for Bonnie to get back from the restroom. I had decided to go to Elena's party. One, because it was Stefan's birthday, and two, because I really needed to get out of the house. I seriously wanted a break from all the drama. It was worse than living in a soap opera sometimes.

"Hello Caroline!" Damon cooed, sliding into the seat across from me. "Do you have my crystal?"

I raised an eyebrow. "You mean the necklace? Bonnie's?" he nodded once, and I scoffed. "Yeah, uh, no."

Damon growled under his breath and glared at me. "Of course you don't."

He got up and stormed off, probably to drown his sulkiness in a bottle of bourbon.

Bonnie returned and looked at me in confusion. "Woah, who pissed you off?"

I made a face, raking my hand through my blonde hair. "Damon freaking Salvatore, that's who!"

"Stefan's older brother?" she furrowed her brows. "What did he do?"

"I guess he gave Vicki that necklace." I gestured to the one around her neck. "And he keeps trying to get me to get it for him!"

"He wants this?" Bonnie picked up the amber crystal and raised an eyebrow. "Grams says this belongs to me. Something about a talisman or something."

"Really?" I nibbled on my bottom lip, thinking. "God knows what he wants it for."

Probably for some evil plan of his...I mused to myself.

Little did I know, it was going to be a large part of his plan, in the long run. Meanwhile, Damon left the Grill, sneaking out one of the side doors leading into the alleyway.

Damon's POV

I watched in amusement as a younger couple, probably Elena's age, madeout in the dark alleyway, obviously trying to hide.

Perfect.

I sped forward and sunk my teeth into the boy's neck, taking in one gulp of his blood before pulling away. Full of alcohol anyways. I rolled my eyes, grabbing the screaming girl's shoulders. I stared into her eyes for a moment, and she grew silent.

Caroline's POV

I danced with Lexi and Stefan, laughing and pretty much having a great time, until Damon arrived.

Not him again!

"Wow! She smiles!" he looked me up and down, and then glanced over to Stefan. "He smiles too! Alert the media!" he grinned cheekily.

"You really haven't given us many reasons to be happy lately, Damon." I retorted.

His bottom lip jutted out. "Oh, you're right. Poor Stefan persecute throughout eternity...does it get tiring being so annoying?"

I scoffed and laughed at the same time. "It flares up in the presence of psychopaths."

He pressed a hand to his chest, and I saw Lexi drag Stefan to the pool table out of the corner of my eye. "Ouch! Well consider this psychopath's feelings hurt!"

Elena stormed in now, shoving me aside and glaring daggers up into Damon's amused face. "What did you do to my brother?"

Damon raised an eyebrow. "I'm going to need a less vague question."

"You know what you did!" she snapped, glaring up at him.

"Elena." I interrupted. "Are you talking about when-"

A smooth British voice interrupted me. "I wiped his memory?"

She whirled around and looked at him. "He was fine until earlier, when Damon came over!"

"Wait..." I looked to Damon. "You went over to Elena's?"

His eyes drifted across my face, and he grinned wolfishly. "Maybe I did."

Klaus tapped my shoulder, and beckoned me to follow him over to the bar. "I need to talk to you." he said lowly. "Alone?"

I stared up into his face, shocked to find that his usual little smirk wasn't there. "Right now?" I queried, looking to Stefan and Lexi, still at the pool table.

He glanced towards the exit, and back at me. "I'll let you know when."

I frowned, and he disappeared within a blink of an eye.

Lexi pranced up to the bar, dragging Elena with her. Elena looked a bit annoyed, but she perked up when she saw they were headed to the alcohol.

"Hey Caroline!" Elena greeted, surprisingly friendly. I smiled and said hello, not missing her flirty look she sent back to Stefan.

A body bumped into me, and I noticed Bonnie stumble forwards, looking tipsy.

Bonnie, drunk? This is new...

I grabbed a hand to steady her. "Are you okay?"

Her brown eyes got wide. "I slim – I'm slipped. I slipped." she gurgled, her eyes glazed over a bit.

"Hammered, aren't we?" Matt came up beside me and looked down at Bonnie.

"Can you take me home?" she stared up at Matt, who chewed on his lip for a moment, thinking. Then he nodded, ushering her outside.

What happened after that, happened fast.

We hear the front doors slam open, and Sheriff Bennett walks in with a petite blonde girl, who was trembling like a leaf, her wide eyes scanning the room. Suddenly, I follow her finger to Lexi and Damon, who were both at the bar. The sheriff briskly walked up to Lexi, and injected her with vervain.

"Stefan!" I called out, in shock.

Oh my god. I saw him mouth, and he tried to push his way towards the crowd to help his friend.

Mr. Bennett carefully ushered the barely conscious Lexi out of the Grill.

They were going to kill her! I realized in shock, and I was following Stefan, trying to push through the crowd and through the door.

A loud thump was heard, and suddenly, the officer preventing our exit, rushed to his friends, and we slipped through, Stefan shooting me a scared look.

Damon suddenly appeared, and stabbed a wooden stake into her back.

"Oh my god." Stefan breathed, in shock.

~0~

Stefan was pacing outside our house, his fists clenched.

"Stefan!" I called, getting out of my car and jogging over to him.

"He killed her." his voice was thick. "He chased Zach away, killed Tanner, killed and turned Vicki, killed Alyssa..." he trailed off, and I saw a tear fall to the ground in the light of the moon. "I have to kill him."

My eyes widened. "No!" I said, before I could think. "You can't do that!"

He whirled around, coming at me quickly, causing me to scramble back, falling against a tree. "Why are you trying to save him? Caroline, he's never gonna change!"

His green eyes were cloudy with pain and anger, and he looked drunk.

"Stefan." I said quietly, looking into his eyes. This man was my older brother – way older brother, actually - "I'm not trying to save anyone, but you! Imagine if I had to live with just Damon! Or if he killed you, and tried to make a move on Elena!"

Stefan mumbled something, and I could have sworn he said, He'd make a move on you, not her. But I was so unsure, I didn't comment on it. "Please." I continued.

He took a step away from me, his forehead creased. "I don't know."

A whoosh was heard, and he was gone. I groaned in anger, and kicked a rock on the driveway.

"He wouldn't kill his only sibling, love." Klaus stepped out of the shadows, causing my heart to jump.

"Are you sure?"

He nodded once. "I've known the Salvatore brothers before they were vampires." he explained, not coming any closer. "They have a tight bond. They would do anything for each other."

I locked my car, shoving my keys into my purse. "That was then." I glanced at Klaus. "But what about now?"

So, I've been trying to fit in Klaus' character, even though he doesn't play a major role until one of the next seasons.

-The episode where Elena [in this case, Caroline] basically gets kidnapped by Damon and forced to go to Georgia with him is coming up soon! Who would you like to see Caroline go with on the trip? Damon or Klaus? Let me know by reviewing!(:
