Caroline looked at the inside of her room in shock, the walls were her favorite color a nice light purple it was too pale to be classed as Lilac. In the closet was her favorite brands of clothing, not to mention that there were matching shoes to go with each outfit, there was also different handbags, shoulder bags. Everything was in different colors, styles there was even some Gucci and Prada in the wardrobe as well. Caroline squealed
" Harry this is too much. Thank you, thank you, thank you! I love it all."
Harry blushed and avoided looking at Caroline as he spoke
" Care bear you are welcome. You know that you can stay here whenever you want. This is your home as well, we want you to treat it as such."
Caroline cried out
" Thank you so much Harry! I won't ever forget this!"
Caroline threw her good arm around him as she pulled him to her chest, his face right in between her breasts as Harry made fake gagging sounds and began to pretend that he was choking.
Sarah and Angela were laughing hard at the face Harry was making, they were both red in the face holding their sides as they fell down the wall. Harry and Caroline just looked at the two before shaking their heads, sometimes it felt like they were the adults not the teens. But they wouldn't have it any other way as they made life much more fun and exciting, even if they had found a few grey hairs here and there.
Once Caroline had looked around her room and fell back onto the bed enjoying the softness of the mattress, she sighed
"I wish Mom was here."
The bed dipped as three more bodies and a baby climbed onto the bed and surrounded her, Teddy not liking the way that everyone was pulling faces reached over and grabbed a strand of Caroline's hair before sticking it in his mouth and sucking on it.
Teddy found that it didn't taste the same as the nice lady's, the nice lady's hair was all sticky. Maybe she rubbed food into her long curly thing?
That made sense to him, as it makes sense to all babies.
Caroline had looked down in shock when Teddy had stuck her hair into his mouth, she had began to panic incase he choked on it. But soon she was handed it back by a happily smiling Teddy who was sticking his finger up his own nose.
Caroline snorted and shook her head, Teddy never failed to bring a smile to her face, even if he was offering his finger to her. She really did not want to touch it, after all she had seen him stick it up his own nose not more than five minutes ago. But still it was sweet the way that he had offered her, they were all laid on the bed just enjoying the peace and quiet until Caroline's phone began to ring
"Caroline here."
"Caroline where the hell are you? It's almost time for Miss Mystic Falls!"
Caroline's eyes had widened because of the accident and then spending all the time in the hospital then worrying about her mom, she had forgotten about it. She looked down at her leg and sighed
"I wont be able to enter it."
She heard Elena huff on the other side
"And why not? What is so big that you can't come?"
Tears sprang to her eyes at the thought of her mom laid in the hospital bed while she was out at the pageant, if her mom had been there then she would have been all for it. But she wasn't so she was not going to do it.
"Me and my mom were in a accident, I have a broken leg and dislocated shoulder blade. Mom was worse off I have no idea when she will be coming out."
She heard someone place their hand over the speaker part of the phone, Caroline looked at the people around her little Teddy playing with her cast. Harry was giving her a shoulder to lean on, Sarah and Angela watching Teddy making sure that he didn't fall of the bed. That he didn't go near the edge of the bed.
"That is the worst excuse I have ever heard from you Caroline Forbes! If you didn't want to enter it then just say! Don't make up some excuse like that!"
Caroline didn't hear what was said next her mind had shut down, she couldn't believe what she had been accused of as if she would lie about that? Sure her mom was a workaholic but that didn't mean that she didn't love her!
Yes she wished that they could go fishing together, go and watch a movie. Stay up late as they watched the sun set and the stars come out, she wished that she could do all of it but with her mom been the sheriff she couldn't as she was always making sure that the town was safe for her and everyone else.
She didn't feel the warm hands guiding her to pillows at the top of the bed, she didn't feel Harry sit next to her and rub soothing circles on her back. She didn't see Sarah and Angela take Teddy out of the room while Harry calmed her down.
In the front room both Angela and Sarah were fuming, how dare she!
What right did she have?
She didn't!
They had to be careful though, their magic was beginning to react to their anger like all witches and wizards and it wouldn't do for Teddy to get hurt by accident. Angela flicked her wand at the fire and it sprang to life, a second flick ensured that Teddy would not be able to go near the fire and if he did?
Then he would get a tingle up his arm, should he touch it he would get a light zap on his bottom.
The two of them sat down on the floor with Teddy and pulled out one of his favorite jigsaw puzzles, even if he only liked to eat the pieces of it. But still he was learning they were dreading when he began to walk, because there would be no stopping him.
~~~~~~Mystic Falls high~~~~~
Bonnie looked at Elena she couldn't believe what she had just heard, did she really think that Caroline the teen that they had been friends with for years would lie about something like that?
Bonnie packed her bag and stormed out of the gym
"Where are you going?"
Bonnie whirled around and glared darkly at Elena
"To check on Caroline!"
Elena crossed her arms over her chest (her very, flat chest) as she huffed
"Bonnie you can't believe her! She probably doesn't want to enter so she made up some sort of lie that would seem believable!"
Bonnie felt her jaw drop to the floor, what the hell?
Was that really what Elena thought?
That Caroline would lie about something, this big. Bonnie didn't even spare Elena a glance as she strode out of the gym taking large strides so she could reach her car quicker. Bonnie scowled as she threw her stuff into the back of her car, she couldn't be bothered to deal with Elena at the moment. Caroline could really need her.
So she drove to the hospital, she hated the place it was too white for her. The color hurt her eyes and the smell made her feel sick, she walked up to the receptionist as she asked
"What room is Caroline Forbes in?"
The receptionist looked at her before spending a few minutes typing on the computer, she looked at Bonnie giving her a shrewd look. Bonnie felt like she was been stripped bare it was not a pleasant feeling for her
"Miss Forbes has been discharged from the hospital."
Bonnie felt her heart drop, Caroline had been in here?
How hadn't they known?
her stomach began to roll thinking of her friend inside of here all alone with the too white walls for company. It didn't sit well with her, so she asked another question
"Is Liz Forbes still here?"
The receptionist turned back to her computer and typed again for a few more moments, before nodding her head
"Yes, room 407."
Bonnie looked at her and nodded her head, if Caroline would be anywhere it would be with her mom unless she had gone home to change and get something to eat. Bonnie knew that hospital food was not the best, Bonnie pushed open the door and gasped both of her hands clasping her mouth.
Liz looked so, still that she thought that she had died. She was reminded on how she found her Grams laid there so still, so cold. If it wasn't for the machines breathing for her and the heart monitor Bonnie would of thought that Liz was dead, looking around the room she couldn't find any sign of Caroline.
Bonnie decided that she would go to the Forbes home first then, check out all of the places where Caroline would go. The park, the grill she would even check the cemetery and waterfall.
Bonnie spent five hours looking for Caroline and was beginning to worry, Caroline could have fallen down in a ditch and be stuck there. Or she could have been hit by a car.
Bonnie's mind was beginning to whirl with possibilities of what could of happened each one as gruesome as the next, she pulled her car over to the side of the road and dialed Caroline's number
"Come on, come on. Pick up!"
She finally picked up on the fourth ring
"Hello?"
That wasn't Caroline, that was a male voice a very familiar male voice
"Is Caroline there? It's Bonnie."
"mmmm, yeah sure..."
Had he just fallen asleep?
On the phone!
"Is Caroline there?"
She heard ruffling for a few seconds until Caroline's voice floated over the phone
"hmmmm, who izz it?"
Had she just woken Caroline up?
Maybe her pain medication had knocked her out that was why she couldn't find her, but where was she?
It wasn't with Matt or Tyler otherwise one of them would of told someone not have her worry about where Caroline was and who she was with
"CAROLINE!"
She heard the sound of thudding
"Shit!"
"Oww, my head!"
At least it had worked, she hoped that It wasn't Caroline that had hurt her head otherwise she would feel guilty for it. And after seeing her mom in the hospital bed laid like that she did want that she didn't want to hurt her friend.
"Hello? Bonnie?"
Bonnie sighed at hearing Caroline's voice loud and clear
"Yeah it's me where are you?"
She heard Caroline sigh before there was some murmuring, she heard the phone get passed over to someone
"Bonnie, how are you?"
She knew the voice she just couldn't remember who it belonged to, and it was so annoying. It was like the name was on the tip of her tongue but she couldn't quite say it.
"Who are you?"
It was the right question after all, Caroline was with him which meant that she trusted him. But Bonnie got the feeling that they had met before
"It's Harry, Harry Potter. We met at the after party for your Grams funeral."
Now she remembered, she also remembered that she had upset him very badly with the way that she had been moaning and complaining about her family.
"Harry?"
She heard the phone get moved for a few seconds before he spoke
"Yes, Bonnie?"
Bonnie took a deep breath
"I am sorry for the way that I acted I didn't mean to make it seem like I was been ungrateful."
She could feel his smile down the phone as he responded
"It is fine, I know that you were speaking from grief. It does strange things to us I have found out."
Bonnie breathed a sigh of relief, as she asked
"Why is Caroline with you?"
There was giggling as Caroline took the phone back
"Harry's Aunt is my guardian incase anything ever happened to Mom or Dad, and since they can't get hold of Dad."
"Then you go to her."
"Yep, Harry said its fine for you to come over. Do you know all watercress waterfall?"
How could she not?
The name was a mouthful and the land had been owned for the past 800 years by some unknown family, but still at least Caroline was alright. Getting directions Bonnie turned the keys in the ignition key and drive off, once she got to the old Lockwood lines she had to use the directions as she didn't know where to go.
Soon she had pulled up outside of a three story house, while the colors didn't go they did give the house a more lived in feel. As if it had been used since the day it had been built and maybe it did Bonnie didn't know much about the house or the area around it, making sure that she had everything she needed she climbed out of her car and found Caroline stood on the front porch, one arm in a sling and the other using a crutch. Stood next to her helping her stand was Harry, he looked at Bonnie and gave her a small smile. She walked over to the two and spoke
"Hey guys."
Caroline gave her a blinding smile as she couldn't really hug her at the moment, but seeing that her friend was indeed alive and well was good enough for Bonnie. The trio walked into the house, where they found Angela, Sarah and Teddy all passed out on the floor.
The jigsaw puzzle was scattered around them, drool was hanging down from Angela's mouth while Sarah was muttering
"No! No flying purple sausages!"
The three held their breath as they tried not to laugh, they did make several sounds though when Teddy rolled over and put his thumb into his mouth.
"Awww, he is so cute!"
"Look at his little fingers."
"Awwww."
Even though Harry didn't like the habit of sucking one's thumb he couldn't deny that Teddy made the perfect picture of innocence, quickly pulling out his phone he took a photo of Teddy and saved it as his background. He didn't dare do anything to his aunts as he knew that retribution would not be quick, no they would draw it out for months making him so paranoid that he jumped at the tiniest shadow. But still the image they made was cute and one that he would treasure forever.
Bonnie silently awed at the sight of Teddy, he had grown since she had last saw him but she knew that it was to be expected. Even though she could see his jet black hair starting to grow in thick patches all over his head. He would be quite the heart-breaker when he grew up, and she did feel a small bit of sympathy for Harry as he would have to deal with them. And any angry fathers that came to his door looking for his son. She bit her lip when she pictured an older Harry sat on the front porch with a shotgun, glaring darkly at anyone that went passed the house.
Caroline had taken her phone out and was taking photos of Teddy so she could show him when he was older after all she would be his totally awesome aunt!
Caroline paused for a few seconds, she had never thought that she would be a aunt. With been an only child, her parents divorced. Her father was gay and happily in love, her mom was a workaholic that didn't seem to have time. But looking down at Teddy she knew that she couldn't let him go, so he would be stuck with her!
They watched for a few more minutes until Harry guided them to the stairs, taking the crutch off Caroline he handed it to Bonnie before picking Caroline up bridal style and carrying her to her room. Bonnie watched as Harry easily carried Caroline up the stairs and into her room without any problem, she looked at the crutch that she had been given yeah she got the easy job that she wouldn't deny.
But how was he so strong?
Harry looked like he would be killed if a strong breeze came and blew into him, he was thin. Bonnie narrowed her eyes as she looked at him more closely, he was too thin.
Bonnie didn't want to say anything incase she upset him, but the question was burning around in her mind, taunting her as if she should ask the question that was burning through her veins but it wasn't her place to ask it so she wouldn't.
But it didn't sit right with her at all, not with how thin he was. She also noticed that he favoured his right hand side, had he been abused?
It was the only thing that she could think of that made sense, why he didn't trust anyone, why no one was allowed near Teddy unless they had been vouched for by his aunts. But still, it didn't sit right with her.
She watched as Caroline sat back on the giant puffy pillows and sighed
"This is sooo good! You will make someone very happy!"
The wicked smile that she sent towards him did nothing for his blush, Bonnie snickered as the blush deepened. Caroline held out her good hand for Bonnie who took it and fell back against the pillows and moaned
"She is right, if you treat your friends like this how will you treat your lucky guy?"
Bonnie froze she didn't know if they were friend or not, yes she had apologized for the way she had acted but still that didn't make them friends, Harry looked at her, his emerald green eyes drilling holes into her very soul
"We may of started off on the wrong foot Bonnie, but I would be honored to call you friend."
Bonnie sniffled as she launched herself at Harry who easily caught her, Caroline smiled at the two
"Now what shall we do?"
Bonnie shrugged she had no idea what was in the house, Harry looked at Caroline before standing up off the bed and walking to a cupboard before pulling it open to reveal a flat screen telly, compete with DVD player. Xbox 360, PS3 and a Nintendo Wii.
Harry took a step back at the stars that they had got in their eyes at the sight of everything, Caroline turned to Bonnie and asked
"Game of COD?"
Bonnie nodded and smirked
"Bring it on!"
Harry sat back and watched as the two of them began to play Call of Duty, even though they were losing they were still laughing and having fun.
Later on when they had all fallen asleep, Caroline curled around Harry with her feet in Bonnie's lap and her back resting against the bed. Two people entered the room and smiled before snapping several photos and placing a blanket over them, Angela carefully moved Teddy to her other arm as her and Sarah made their way out of the room.
Everyone was asleep with smiles on their faces that night.
~~~~~~~~~Salvatore Boarding house~~~~~~
Elena watched as Damon threw Stefan into a small cell in the boarding house basement, she shivered it didn't look like a basement it reminded her of one of them dungeons that were used in the Tudor and Victorian times.
Elena rubbed the top of her arms she didn't like it in here, the whole thing was dark, damp and smelly.
She didn't know why they had it, Elena watched as Damon closed the door and locked it behind him. He grabbed several glass bottles filled with a clear liquid and placed them around the door before nodding and pulling her off upstairs.
Damon shook his head, he had told Stefan time and time again that he needed to control his bloodlust not let it control him. After all that was how Rippers were created.
They were vampires that hadn't learned to control their bloodlust and when they drank human blood it sent them into a frenzy, they would steal and kill to get the next fix of human blood. No matter who they hurt to get it.
Damon poured himself a glass of bourbon before sitting down on the couch next to Elena who was sat staring at the fire.
"Troubled?"
Elena turned around and looked at him her big doe like eyes were locked onto his ice blue ones, Damon found himself remembering when Katherine had looked at him in the same way. Before she had turned them, before Stefan had killed their father and everything went to hell.
"How long will it take?"
Ah yes!
Saint Stefan, it was always about him. His father had favored Stefan over him, mainly because he looked like his mother too much that it hurt for him to look at Damon so he pretended that Damon did not exist exist most of the time.
"Depends on how much he wants this."
Elena nodded her head and went back to staring at the fire, Damon tilted his head when he heard movement coming from the basement cell. It sounded like his little brother was up but even if he could get out of the cell the glass bottles filled with Vervain would slow him down long enough to lock him back up again, that was if he could open the door. Since Damon had put the door bar over the door he doubted that even Stefan and his new found strength would be able to move it, but he had been wrong before so that was why he placed the glass bottles of Vervain.
~~~~~~New York City, Place unknown~~~~~~
A sharp knock echoed throughout the small apartment, a man was stood by the door a stake in hand as he whispered
"Who is it?"
Just as he thought he would get no answer a voice spoke up
"It is Elijah, I need to ask you something."
He sighed in relief, he was safe for now. He quickly undid the chains, took out all of the bolts and unlocked the four locks that he had on his door. He moved out the way to allow a man in a suit come into his small apartment, it wasn't like he had to invite Elijah in after all he had done it before. He watched as Elijah sat on the couch his arm draped along the back of it, his legs stretched out in front of him.
He didn't like to admit it but even when Elijah was trying to look normal it didn't work, he was too sophisticated for it to work. Just like Elijah couldn't pull off the whole casual look with jeans and a T-shirt.
But still it must be big for him to come here, but why was he here?
"Why have you come?"
Elijah's oak brown eyed fell onto his murky green ones, he tried not to stiffen to show that having Elijah in his apartment was unnerving him but it didn't work and he knew that Elijah knew that. He watched as Elijah undid his cufflink and rolled up the sleeve of his jacket and shirt before revealing his wrist to him. There on Elijah's wrist was the letter
'H'
It was small and in cursive writing, but he didn't know what it meant. He looked at Elijah and asked
"Wht does it mean?"
Elijah's eyes narrowed as he looked at him
"I thought that you would have the answers."
He licked his lips a habit born out of nervousness
"It could mean anything, but I read some where that it could be a mate."
The way Elijah had stiffened reminded him of a statue, it was unnatural to him.
"Show me the book."
There was a command in there, he knew it and Elijah knew it. But he liked living too much not to disobey it, he quickly moved to his bedroom and found the book before giving it to Elijah.
"Thank you."
With that Elijah walked out of his apartment and he fell down and sighed in relief, it looked like he was still useful after all if he was still alive. He placed his hand to his rapidly beating heart and willed it to calm down, but it wouldn't.
Not after dealing with one of the Originals.
