"What the fuck is wrong with you, Cara!?" Isabel screamed at her, Cara jumped out of her skin at how loud she was, guess that means the sisterly moment is over. "Out of all the places you could have put it you decide to put it with the stake?" Isabel asked quietly and then marched out to the hallway where the painting was. She took the painting down and sure enough the safe was there, she started looking around for the key. When she couldn't find it she got very frustrated and attempted to punch the safe but shouted in pain when her knuckles collided with it. Cara walked in with the key in hand and noticed Isabel holding her right hand in pain.
"What happened to you?" Cara exclaimed and ran over to her trying to help her but Isabel pushed her away.
"The stupid safe is rigged, who else has been in here?" Isabel asked, Cara walked in front of the safe and raised an eyebrow.
"Nobody's been in here but us and Mike, but we put the stake in the safe the other night and he hasn't been there since." Cara explained, Isabel stood next to her sister and sighed while shaking her head.
"I bet it has something to do with the Mikaelsons." Isabel grumbled, Cara looked at her and frowned.
"Have any of them been in the house? Did you invite anyone in, not just the Mikaelsons but anyone." Cara asked, Isabel stopped and thought about it then shook her head.
"What about you, any sign of Mikaelsons or anyone else, what about Mike?" Cara sighed in anger at the suggestion of Mike's name, but then her eyes widened.
"Katherine." She whispered, quickly she took the key and took a deep breath before forcing herself to put the key in the hole. She screeched in pain but kept going, she turned the lock and let go of the key, she took deep breaths again before grabbing the handle and opening the door. Isabel looked into the safe while Cara leaned against the wall looking at her red hand, she then looked at Isabel who had her arm in the safe trying to locate the stake and the cure. She took out the stake and Cara let out a shaky breath then watched as Isabel's eyes widened.
"The cure is gone." Isabel breathed, Cara shook her head and moved Isabel out of the way to search every inch of the safe.
"That bitch!" Cara exclaimed and kicked the wall, she grabbed the stake off Isabel and placed it carefully into the safe then slammed the door and quickly locked it through the pain. Cara stormed into the kitchen and hid the key in a small compartment under the table.
"How did Katherine even get in here?" Isabel asked as she followed Cara into the kitchen who was now pouring herself a glass of wine.
"When you were away and I moved back here I met Katherine at the grill, we started talking and after a few drinks we-"
"You're not about to tell me you done 'IT' with Katherine are you?" Isabel interrupted her, Cara's eyes widened in shock then made a disgusted face.
"NO! Ew, no! I was going to say we became friends of some sort, but I did do someone that night, here, in the house, as did Katherine, here, in the house." Cara finished slowly not wanting to say too much.
"But there's only two bedrooms in this house?" Isabel questioned, Cara chuckled then looked at her sister guiltily.
"I didn't expect you were staying so Katherine and Chris kind of..." She trailed the end of her sentence when she saw her sister raise the side of her top lip in disgust.
"KATHERINE PIERCE HAD SEX IN MY BEDROOM!?" Isabel screamed, Cara couldn't supress her chuckle. "That's it, I've had enough for one night! I'm going to sleep, in the living room, ON THE SOFA!" Isabel announced as she walked out the kitchen door.
"Actually, Izzy, Kyle and I kind of-" Cara began as a joke, when she heard Isabel grunt.
"Sleeping in the hallway!" She shouted as she marched past the door in the other direction, Cara smiled to herself but once Isabel was gone she let it drop. She thought as she sipped her wine then decided to sit on the sofa for a while. As she sat she thought about all the great adventures she had without Isabel, but one of her favourite actually involved the Salvatore brothers and Katherine, when they actually liked each other.
"Come on Damon, you know I'm way better at hide and seek than you, besides isn't that a childrens game?" Cara asked with a slight chuckle, her regular smile plastered on her face. Damon stood up out of his seat and looked at Stefan then Cara.
"It may be a childrens game but it's one we all know how to play and it should be fun to see how well you can still play it." Damon explained, Cara then looked at Stefan who sighed then nodded, Cara looked back at Damon who was now standing in front of her giving her puppy dog eyes.
"Fine! I'll play, but only on one condition! We're not to leave the house, make it a bit trickier." Cara insisted, Damon offered his hand in agreement but Cara scoffed and offered her fist for a fist thump.
"This is why I love you." Damon joked and fist thumped her, "Come on Stefan join in the fist thumping." Stefan laughed and stood up to give Cara a fist thump but before he could she pulled back.
"Sucker!" She said with a high pitched voice, Stefan faked a sad face and Cara hugged him. "Aw, I'm sorry Stefan."
"Why, what'd you do, kiss him and he didn't like it?" A voice behind them sounded, Cara looked to see Katherine smirking, she smiled and went to hug her. Katherine returned the hug and looked at everyone in the room. "So what are we all up to?" She asked, Cara looked to notice Damon and Stefan staring in admiration at her, it always happened.
"We were just about to play hide and seek, would you like to join us in the fun?" Cara suggested but Katherine just chuckled.
"Hide and seek, what age are you three? Only children play that game, and besides, when children play it they're lucky to ever be found out here." Katherine explained, there was a hint of warning in her voice.
"That's because the vampires keep taking them, but we're vampires so we can protect ourselves." Stefan pointed out, Katherine looked at him and raised an eyebrow.
"I wouldn't be so sure, especially not with the werewolves running around everywhere." Katherine told them all, she looked at Cara after that.. "You seem to be a fan of the wolves." Cara frantically shook her head in disgust.
"Oh God no! Them horrid things, I hate them all, I'm surprised nobody's killed them all yet." Cara growled slightly, she really hated the vile things, Katherine smiled, obviously satisfied with her reaction.
"Well, it was nice to talk to you three, if you will excuse me, I'm feeling a bit hungry." Katherine announced and winked at them all then hugged Cara once more. "See you all later." She told them before leaving the house. Cara sighed when she left, Katherine truely was her best friend, she believed that they would always be best friends. They were partners in everything, even killing and eating, which made Cara confused as to why she had not asked her to feed with her.
"You ready to play?" Damon asked while waving a hand in front of her face trying to get her attention. Cara looked up at him and into his eyes, the eyes that could make her do anything, the eyes she'd kill to see everyday for the fest of her life. It was obvious to everyone but Damon that she had it bad for him. She felt like she always would, but she knew it would never happen because of his strong love for Katherine. Stefan was more like her brother and everyone knew that they were like brother and sister, they would do anything for each other. Stefan knew about he crush on Damon and she knew about Katherine, he told her everything Katherine done and yet still the two boys still loved her. Cara could always count on these three people, they had been there for her when she needed them most and they continued to be there for her. She love them all and they loved her, it would always be this way, she could feel it, their love would never die, not until they die.
Cara let out a tear remembering that, she knew Isabel would kill her if she ever found out that her and Katherine were best friends. The same if she found out about her huge love for Damon and brotherly relationship with Stefan. But she never wanted Mike to know about how she used to feel about werewolves, she never liked them until she met Mike. Even then it took a while for her to warm up to them, it was natural, vampires and werewolves are natural born enemies, but it doesn't always have to stay that way. That is exactkly what Mike and Cara were trying to prove to people, but they really couldn't do that without one of them, or both, getting killed.
"Where did I go wrong?" Cara whispered as she placed her glass on the table and lay down on the sofa falling asleep. Maybe tomorrow will be better, maybe it will be a good day.
