A/N: Just a quick note, I wanted to thank and each and every one of you guys for the sweet and awesome reviews. THANK YOU. Your reviews mean the world to me, so please, keep reading and definitely keep reviewing. ^_^

When Damon arrived back home he noticed that Stefan and Elena were out in the backyard, laying in the grass, watching clouds. Or something. He couldn't really tell. He found Caroline sitting on the couch in front of the fireplace, staring intently into the flames.

"Caroline?"

In her hand was the post note, with the note he had written on it, crumpled in her hand. "How stupid could you have been?" she asked, her voice cracked and dry.

"What? What're you talking about?" he asked as he threw his leather jacket over the side of a chair.

"I know you went to confront Klaus about last night."

"No," he said, pouring himself a drink, "I didn't."

Suddenly Caroline was up, and she slammed him against a wall, her hand around his throat, in the process Damon had dropped his glass, shattering to the floor. "Lying! You're lying!" she growled.

Damon smirked, and arched a brow. "Maybe."

"Damn it, Damon!" she growled, her grip becoming tighter. Within a second their positions were switched,

"I'm a hell of a lot older then you, honey. Watch it." He warned.

Suddenly Caroline leaned in and kissed him. After a moment, Damon returned the kiss, locking his arms around her waist, while her arms locked around his neck. Pulling away for a moment she looked at him,

" I love you."

"I love you."

They had both said, almost simultaneously. Damon leaned in and kissed her once more, making sure to drag this one out a bit longer then the first.

"May I safely assume, we don't need to stick to the plan?" he asked.

A small giggle escaped her lips before she answered, "Yeah. That's exactly what that means." She said.

"Good." He said before picking her up, bridal style, and flashing he two of them upstairs into his bedroom, making sure to shut the door behind them.

"Do you really think their together?"

"Who?"

"Damon and Caroline."

"Well, I don't see a reason for them to lie."

"That's just it, Stefan. She told me about Klaus stalking her, after she rejected him." Elena said, sitting up now, and turning to face him. "Maybe they just devised some plan."

"You think?"

"I…don't know," Elena finished. "I do know that if they are just doing this for some sort of plan though, Caroline's going to get hurt. I know her, if she fell for Damon once as a human, she can easily fall for him again as a vampire, just harder." She sighed.

Stefan moved over so that he could look Elena dead on, and take her hands in his. "Listen, I'm sure that whatever's going on between Damon and Caroline? They'll tell us when their ready. Until then, just give them time. We don't want to push them."

"I know, but-"

"No buts Miss Gilbert."

A small smirk came to her lips, "Miss Gilbert, hm? Within a few months I'll be Mrs. Salvatore." She grinned.

"I realize and I already like the sound of that." He said, leaning in and kissing her, to which Elena happily returned the kiss. Pulling apart, Elena sighed in happy content feelings.

"I love you." She whispered to Stefan.

"I love you too." He replied, before the two headed inside the house.

Almost two hours later Caroline had managed to, slip out of Damon's room unnoticed, get change, fix her hair and head outside. The fresh air felt nice, but she also needed to feed. Heading towards town she decided fresh blood would suffice, she'd even learned to control it.

Spotting a young man she walked over to him. "Hi."

"Uh, hello." The man responded.

"Oh, sorry. I did it again, didn't I? Sometimes I just space off, and when I say hi to someone it looks like I'm sending them a death glare." She smirked.

The guy chuckled, "That's fine. I'm Jim, by the way." He said extending his hand out towards her.

"Oh, well Jim, it's nice to meet you. I'm Caroline."

"Nice to meet you Caroline." He responded.

A smile came to her lips, "Would you mind, coming with me for a quick minute, it seems that I lost my keys and I need some help finding them." She said, trying to sound as innocent as possible.

"Sure." He said, following her. They walked through parts of town, looking for keys that weren't even lost, when finally she had lured him out to the woods.

"I don't think their in the woods." Jim commented.

"I know," Caroline responded, her back to him. "But back here, no one can see us." She shrugged, the veins under her eyes appearing, her eyes going red with bloodlust and the fangs sliding out from her canines. Turning to face him she lunged, and bit into his neck. Jim let out a pain filled scream, and struggle for a few moments as he tried to fight her off. After several more attempts, he took something out of his back pocket and stabbed Caroline in the side with it.

Caroline let out a small whimper, and crumpled down to the ground, to her knees. "What…" she said, as she gasped for breath. "Did, you….do?" a cough, escaping her lips.

Jim didn't respond as he waited for his neck to heal back up, which it did in less then a moment's time. "It's called vervain, sweety." He smirked, before bending down and stabbing her with another dose of vervain. Taking a cellphone out of his pocket, he watched as Caroline was out cold.

"Hello?" a voice on he other end answered.

"Yeah. I've got her."

"Splendid, splendid! Bring her back with you."

"Will do, sir."

The line went dead, and Jim picked Caroline up, throwing her over his shoulder before walking off, right back to Klaus.
