Carolyn

Here's the next chapter, hope you enjoy and please review. I don't own BVB. I've just realised that I haven't said that at all in this story :P

Chapter Twenty-One

All Carolyn could think about was getting to Russia and killing some originals to avenge Aurora. Carolyn couldn't help but think about how proud Aurora would be of her. She needed to do something for her and this would be just perfect. Carolyn didn't want to be alone, though and she had a feeling that Virtue wouldn't want to go. She couldn't leave Virtue either because Aurora had wanted them to look after her. She would not turn her back on Virtue.

"We need to get to Russia then" Carolyn finally said. They all looked at her as though she was being ridiculous. Carolyn didn't understand what was so wrong with her statement so, she flashed them a questioning look.

"Why do you want to be involved in that massacre?" Jake asked. Carolyn was hurt by his words but she was determined to stand up for her beliefs and explain why it's such a good idea to go to Russia and kill the people who hate vampires.

"It's for Aurora" Carolyn sighed. Andy and Jake still looked like they couldn't believe what she was saying but when Carolyn turned to see Virtue she looked like she completely understood everything that was happening.

"Aurora often spoke about joining them but she never did actually go" Virtue voiced. Jake, now turning to see Virtue, looked shocked by her revelation. He didn't want to think of Aurora as trigger happy but her sister would know her better than anybody else.

"Aurora wanted to be a killing machine?" Jake asked. Virtue looked annoyed at his words and shook her head adamantly. That wasn't what Aurora was about at all.

"Aurora wanted to stand up for what she believed was right and I respect her for it" Virtue said, her voice rising ever so slightly. Jake shook his head just as adamantly as Virtue did. Carolyn was tiring of the argument.

"The people who go there are just looking for a fight. They're crazy with the rush of killing" Jake explained to Carolyn and Virtue. Andy had practically pushed out of the conversation but he didn't mind since it was mainly arguing.

"No they're not, they're trying to defend us" Virtue retorted. Carolyn felt as though this was beginning to get out of hand so she stood up and put her hands up in sign of surrender.

"Let's stop arguing and just talk about this" Carolyn suggested. Virtue nodded and Jake followed, reluctantly.

"What are we planning on doing then?" Andy asked. It was the first time he had really spoken on the matter and Carolyn got a little shock. She didn't know how to answer the question since she hadn't even thought about it herself. She just expected to go to Russia and not have any questions asked.

"I don't know. We need to kill them though" Carolyn said. Andy couldn't believe how dangerous she sounded at the minute. Why would she want to kill people? This wasn't how she normally acted but Andy knew that it was Carolyn's choice.

"We don't need to kill anybody and we don't need to go to Russia" Jake growled. He was getting so angry with Carolyn for even thinking about putting herself in danger. He felt Virtue rest her hand on his arm in an effort to calm him down and he finally felt grounded for the first time in days. When he looked into her eyes he no longer saw Aurora, just Virtue for what she is and he liked it.

"You don't have to go but I am" Carolyn growled back. Andy tried to get her to sit back down but it was like she was blind to compassion. She wanted to scream the house down but she knew it wouldn't solve anything.

"How are you planning to get to Russia?" Jake asked. Carolyn hadn't thought about how since she knew she would end up getting burnt by the sun. She shrugged and then her eyes went wide when she thought of a solution.

"Lots of sun lotion and a plane at night" She voiced. The sun was already beginning to rise so Jake thought this would be a perfect time to test it. He suddenly got up and went straight over to the kitchen and started raiding the cupboards. He soon returned with sun lotion and slapped it on Carolyn's hands and dragged her to the door. He stood away from the light and opened it and forced Carolyn's hands out. She didn't wince or burn at all and she looked smug about it.

"Well fine then, go to Russia and mindlessly kill people" Jake sneered. Carolyn was no longer hurt by his words and she was just determined.

"I will then" Carolyn said before going upstairs to book plane tickets. After about ten minutes the door cracked open and Andy appeared.

"Are you really going to Russia?" He asked. Carolyn was dreading talking about it but she knew that she would have to tell Andy about her thoughts and ideas. She wanted to go to Russia and avenge Aurora.

"Yes I am" She answered as she booked her ticket. "Are you going?"

"I can't do that" He answered. Carolyn wasn't annoyed by his answer since it was his life and he could choose what he wanted but she knew she would miss him so much.

"Well if you change your mind tell me. The plane's tonight" She sighed before getting up and leaving again. She didn't want to leave him but this was something she had to do. She went down stairs to see Virtue and Jake staring blankly at the television. She felt awful for what she was doing but it would be for the best. When they sensed her coming they both turned and still stared blankly.

"Are you going then?" Jake asked. Carolyn slowly nodded and she couldn't help but notice how crestfallen he looked.

"I'll come back" Carolyn sighed before going to the kitchen to get some blood. Why did everything have to be so difficult for her? Carolyn ripped the bag open and simply began to swallow. This was her escape route from everything. Blood made everything seem so irrelevant and by the end of her drink she was no longer worried about going to Russia. She walked back into the living room and sat down. Her eyes kept on glancing towards the clock. It was seven am at the moment and they would all be going to sleep for the day and Carolyn's flight was at six pm. She suddenly stood up and went upstairs to go to sleep. When she entered her room she saw that Andy was already in bed so she slid in next to him. It was hard to believe that this might be the last time that she could lie next to him. She was determined to make the most of it. As Andy wrapped his arm around her waist she drifted off into a dreamless slumber.

As Carolyn woke up she took a look at the clock that lay on the cabinet by her bed. It was two pm. The blinds were shut so no light could get in and she knew that she had to start getting ready to go to the airport. She slipped off the bed and went over to the bathroom. When she looked back at Andy, asleep she couldn't help but smile. She would savour these last few hours she had with him. When she changed her clothes she made sure that she slathered her body with sun tan lotion so it would stop her from burning quickly and when she was dressed she put on a long coat and a hat to try and block herself from the sun. When she had finished getting ready it was about two thirty and she knew it was time to leave. She walked over to the bed where Andy lay and gently kissed his forehead. His eyes fluttered open and he smiled when he saw Carolyn.

"Do you want to come to Russia with me?" Carolyn asked. She already knew what the answer would be before he even done anything. He slowly shook his head. Carolyn nodded slowly and kissed his cheek before leaving for good. She didn't want to say goodbye to Jake or Virtue so she just left the house and walked in the direction of the forest. It was boiling hot but she wasn't burning but she was sweating. She ran for shade and as soon as she hit the town she got a taxi.

"Where do you want to go, love?" He asked. He sounded like he was British but Carolyn couldn't really tell.

"The airport" Carolyn answered. The driver nodded and soon they were heading to Carolyn's new start. She barely said anything for the ride there and just let the driver talk nonstop. She was scared to go to Russia and she didn't even know what she would be doing. She knew exactly where she was going, though.

When they arrived she hurried out the car and into the shade of the airport. Now it was just going to be a long wait. After about an hour, things started to pick up speed and before she knew it she was showing the man her passport. She was kind of hoping that Andy would show up and ask her not to go since she knew she would turn back if he did. She took two steps forward and was on her way to the plane. The rest of the walk was a blur and she only realised the damage she had done when she was sitting in her seat. She was on her way to Russia so she could avenge her best friend. What was she getting herself into? Her palms were sweating as she gripped the armrest. An old man sat down next to her and smiled widely. She tried to smile back but she knew it was weak.

"Are you ok?" The man asked in a concerned manner. He looked like he was around the age of seventy and when he looked like he cared it made Carolyn's heart swell.

"I'm f-fine" She stuttered. The man didn't look like he believed her but he didn't press the matter, thankfully. Carolyn turned on her Ipod so she could try and block out the voices of the people behind her. She knew she had to do it so she shouldn't be scared of going. Russia was going to be amazing! Carolyn closed her eyes and let herself let go so she could try and take some of the worry off her. She didn't even notice the woman asking if she wanted to drink anything. She kept her eyes shut tight and tried to sleep. Worry was trying to take over her life at the minute but she wasn't going to let it happen. If she could fall asleep for a while then she would be able to see how good it is to go to Russia. She shut her eyes tight and let herself go and before she knew it she fell into darkness and slept for the rest of the plane journey. When she next woke up she was in Russia.
