No BAmon, but I think I made up for it, hopefully.
Took some liberties with the Rose character.
Enjoy everyone and Merry Christmas!

Chapter
"I made it. I am gathering information as we speak. I will contact you tonight alright." Rose drove through Mystic Falls headed for one destination. She had to do a lot of coaxing to convince Elijah to let her come down here alone and scope out the town, but she had succeeded. Now she hoped she was going to be successful on another, more important venture here in good ol' Mystic Falls.
Main Street was set for the holidays with the snow falling, all the stores decorated and for second she was back in England with her lover followed by the sadness that came with his memory. As quick as the feeling came it was gone in the next instant.
"Stay focused girl." That was her mantra from the start because one mistake would have her meeting her beloved in the afterlife. She continued to drive than turned down a very long and dark road. It seemed to go on forever than she saw the light. It was like a beacon in the middle of nowhere. The two-story house lit up the woods around it and Rose knew there was power here.
Caroline ran around the living room clutching Stefan's book she had snatched away from him. Her laughter was all over the place as her blurred image went from corner of the room to the next. All to stay away from Stefan who didn't look quite as put out anymore. He actually found himself enjoying this little chase of their's. He was actually proud that she was listening to him when he was teaching her his way to be a vampire. It might be too soon after Elena to feel OK, but he didn't hide behind his feelings and wasn't going to start now.
"Caroline would you stop already?" She did stop mid stride, only to continue laughing.
"I guess someone doesn't want their Christmas present?" Stefan stated with some kind of soft authority.
"Oh yes I do!" Caroline said and walked over to the tree to start rummaging through the handful of presents under there.
"It's too early to open it." She looked up at him and everything about her was full of mischief.
"Oh I know you didn't just get me one present?" He arched a brow and tried to at least look as if he was annoyed. Of course he knew well enough to get a friend a gift, but a good friend, a baby vamp he had taken under his wing. Well he was feeling generous and got her a few things he thought she'd like.
"You are allowed to open one present on Christmas Eve and the rest Christmas morning. Just ask Bonnie? Where is she anyway?"
"With Damon somewhere."
"Somewhere huh? Ewwwww are you listening to them? Stefan I know you're nursing a heartache or break whatever you want to call it, but seriously you need to move on."
"Caroline." The way he said her name was in warning, but it wasn't fair that she felt butterflies in her stomach. Why was she feeling like that she wasn't human anymore, she screamed in her head.
"I'm just saying, anyways don't act all innocent and shy like You don't want to know what is going on between Bonnie and Damon."
"I am curious, but it's none of my business." Stefan said hoping she got the hint that it wasn't her business either.
"Did Elena breaking up with you knock all sense out of that broody head of yours? Bonnie is my bff and that makes who she falls for my business especially if it's your brother."
"How do you feel about that?" Caroline just shook her head and was quiet for the first time since arriving.
"She deserves so much more than him, but more importantly Bonnie deserves to be happy. If, and I do mean IF Damon is the one she chooses than I support her regardless of passed bullshit with your brother." Stefan was in front of her in a blink of an eye. In his hands was a small red box with a big green bow on top. Caroline looked into Stefan's eyes and smiled sweetly, but she didn't take the gift.
Something as old as time was happening in that moment between Caroline and Stefan. As humans they might have had a chance to resist the pull passion coiled within them. As vampires inhibitions became non-existent. All that was left is the hunger to touch, to feel, to taste.
In this moment Caroline and Stefan didn't think about anyone else, but themselves and gave in.
Cold lips on cold lips, a kiss was not enough, but would have to do.
"Sorry to interrupt." Damon's playful voice broke what the others started and Caroline slowly pulled away from Stefan. As she made to stand away from him he whispered in her.
"Don't think this is over." Just than the doorbell rang .
