Two

Caroline woke up two hours later feeling a sharp pain in the back of her head. She stood up slowly feeling incredibly dizzy and she had a large bruise on her neck from when Katherine had practically strangled her. She frowned, she was sure that should have been healed by now.

Caroline slowly sat up as she tried to remember everything that had happened. Katherine had come in to attack her like the psychopath that she was, and she had shoved something down her throat that had made her passed out. What was it? It wasn't vervain.

Katherine had apologized before she had shoved the liquid in Caroline's mouth, something she never did. She looked at her reflection in a nearby mirror and noticed the bruise still on her neck. Why wasn't it healing?

Then something clicked in Caroline's head. The cure. Katherine still had it. Rebekah and the Salvatore brothers had not been successful in getting the cure. Could she had-no, it was impossible. Was it?

"No, no, please no," Caroline staggered into the kitchen and grabbed a knife. She made a cut with the knife on the palm of her hand and winced as the knife cut her delicate skin. Immediately, blood poured out. Blood kept pouring out of the wound without stopping. She wasn't healing. Which meant that what Katherine had force fed her had been the cure.

"No," the tears immediately started falling down. "I can't be human. I can't."

But there was no other explanation, otherwise why wasn't she healing?

Caroline staggered outside to get into her car to travel to the Salvatore house. If anyone knew where Katherine was it was them. She stuck to them like gum. She went outside and saw that her car was missing, Katherine must have stolen it. "Bitch," she murmured under her breath as she went back to the house to get the keys to her mom's minivan.

She somehow managed to arrive to the Salvatore house without throwing up. She opened the door and heard Damon and Stefan talking in the living room.

". . .all I'm saying is that there is no way are going to get Elena to turn on her humanity if we keep her locked up in the cellar all this time." Damon was taking a sip of his whisky when he saw Caroline standing by the doorway looking distraught. "What's with you, Blondie? Did you find out that unicorns are not real?"

Caroline ignored his remark as she showed him the bruise on her neck and the hand that was covered in bandages that was still slowly bleeding. "Katherine came to my house. She was angry. We got into a fight and she shoved the cure down my throat," she chocked out. "I'm human."

Katherine had stolen Caroline's car to get far away from Mystic Falls as possible. She had no doubt in her mind that as soon as Caroline woke up, she would go crying to the Salvatore brothers or worse, Klaus and she could not deal with that right now.

Her sweating hands gripped the steering wheel as she passed the "Thank you for visiting Mystic Falls" sign. Maybe changing Caroline into a human might not have been the smartest thing, especially since Klaus was apparently obsessed with her. Get a grip, Kat, she scolded herself, turning little Caroline Forbes into a human is not the worst thing you've done.

If Klaus had a problem with her turning the blonde human, then she would cross that bridge when she came to it. The roads were empty and dark, exactly how Katherine enjoyed the roads. She could drive as fast as she wanted without worrying.

Something caught the corner of her eye. There was a tall, pale woman standing nearly in front of her. She had long, dark hair and hazel eyes. She was wearing a clingy old fashioned blue dress, the kind Katherine had worn when she was a peasant village girl 500 years ago. There was some fresh blood around her mouth and her hazel eyes were staring right back at her.

Help me, Katerina, a strange voice popped into her head, help me, Katerina.

Kristina. The name popped into her head. Her younger sister's name. The sister that had been killed by Klaus when Katherine had stolen the moonstone from him. It was her. The same blue dress she favored, the long dark hair, and beautiful hazel eyes.

It was her. Kristina. But what was she doing here? She was dead. Or was she a ghost? Impossible. She might have been a traveler, but she had never practice magic before. She was dead.

Katherine turned around to get a closer look, but she was gone. She turned her head back to the road, realizing too late there was light pole in front of her. Katherine heard a crash and then windows breaking before everything went dark.

Caroline was still sobbing uncontrollably while Stefan was trying to comfort her when Damon got a call from Liz. He stepped away slightly, so the sheriff didn't hear her daughter's crying.

"Hey, Sherriff," Damon greeted her.

"Don't tell my mom!" Caroline choked out from the living room while Stefan rubbed her back.

Damon rolled his eyes as he continued the conversation. "What's up?"

"Damon, I just got a call, there was a car accident on Hummingbird road," Liz explained, out of breath. "My officers say it's Elena Gilbert. I know that Elena is going through a phrase right now so I don't want her to wake up and kill my officers so if you can-"

"Whoa," Damon interrupted. "It can't be Elena. We locked her in our cellar after she went all Carrie at prom." He paused. "It's Katherine. Liz, tell your officers to knock the bitch down with some vervain. We can't have her escape."

"Ok," Liz sounded confused. "I'll go there myself and keep the crowds away. Damon is something wrong?"

Damon turned back to Caroline and Stefan. Caroline had finally stopped crying and she had a determined look on her pretty face. "Where is she?" She demanded. "Tell me where Katherine is so I can rip all her curls from her hair."

"Caroline," Stefan tried to reassure her. "You can't kill her. She's too strong and you are human now."

"She did this to me Stefan!" Caroline shrieked. "Because of her, I'm stuck in this human body and she needs to pay for what she did. I need to know why she did this."

Damon and Stefan exchanged looks and Damon finally shrugged. "Give Blondie what she wants. Screaming at Katherine is probably one of the last good things she is going to do in her life." Caroline started crying again and Stefan glared at Damon. "What? Being human sucks, even she knows that. Why do you think she's wiping her snot in my Italian pillows?"

"Nice, Damon," Stefan said dryly. "Really nice. I'm glad you are showing Caroline all the compassion you can muster."

"We don't have time for compassion," Damon jabbed back. "We need to get Miss Pierce."
