By the way, the whole one bite from a werewolf can kill a vampire, doesn't exist in this story.
There is a lot of d/c in this chapter.
Caroline's POV
None of the wolves are paying attention to me, which is strange because I was the one captured in the first place, but it allows me with the perfect opportunity to untie the knot Damon started on. It doesn't take much more for the rope to fall off me, except now that I'm free I'm not really sure how I can help. I'm still too weak from the vervain to kill any wolves. My only option is to try and wound them hard enough that it'll be an easy kill for Stefan and Damon. There are now five wolves on the field. Two are dead or unconscious, two are attacking Stefan who can't even hurt them at this point, and one is with Damon. I pick up the rope to use as a lasso, when my face is smashed into the tree. My eyes flutter closed. Someone's hands are pushing me up against the tree and as always I panic.
"Do you know what I have in my hand right now, Caroline? I have a stake. It would be so easy to kill you right now. "The voice says, and I am sure that it belongs to Jules. My eyes flutter open at the shock of what she has just said. I can't die now, I haven't even lived really. There's still so many things I want to see, so many things I want to do. My eyes begin to focus and I see Tyler standing next to the tree. His eyes are wide with fear. He's my only hope.
"Tyler, pleaseā¦" I say.
Damon's POV
I can tell we're done. Stefan is on the ground and the wolves are using his body to sharpen their claws. I'm on my final breath and just when the wolf is about to take a big bite out of my thigh, the cavalry shows up. Bonnie immediately starts on a spell that has all the wolfs howling and backing away. My breaths are coming slow and fractured and it is going to take me days to heal from this battle, if I even get the chance. Bonnie's spell may be working for now, but I can see from here that it's taking all her energy to stand upright and I can smell the blood coming from her nose. The wolves are starting to circle again and Jules has gotten up, stake in hand pulling Caroline back up against the tree. Just when I think Jules is about to stake Caroline right through the heart, a voice comes from the trees up ahead.
"That's enough, I only wanted the girl. You've all managed to make a mess of things. Go home." The wolves all turn and run away from the voice. The only werewolves left are Jules and Tyler and they're in human form. Stefan and I get up, we're barely holding on, but I know we'd both prefer to face this particular problem on our feet. Everyone turn their heads to the voice and I hear each individual gasp.
"Katherine," Stefan and I both say aggravated.
"I told you to leave," she says her eyes directed at Jules and Tyler who are still standing next to a very confused Caroline. Jules is furious. I can tell that she doesn't like being told what to do by a vampire. I barely have time to blink before Jules takes the stake and plunges it into Caroline's back.
"NO!" I scream and dash towards Caroline. I catch her before she even hits the ground. Thank God, the wolf wasn't aiming to kill because the wound isn't fatal. Tyler is standing there shocked, frozen like an ice sculpture, while Jules tries to run for her life. I'm too busy cradling Caroline in my arms, willing some kind of power back into her body. It's heartbreaking to see how much her body has gone through. I don't even have the energy to care that I am showing my feelings to everyone.
In one swift motion, Katherine has gotten to the running Jules and cracked her neck. She's dead before she hits the ground, and I am silently glad.
Tyler on the other hand sinks to his knees, and put his hands up to his face. He's surveying the damage of the battle through his fingers and saying, "This is crazy. You're all crazy."
I hope you guys liked the battle scene and my mystery guest, Katherine! Her motives will all be revealed soon. So that's Jules and a few dead werewolves as our dead count. Let's see who I decide to kill off next.
Next up Caroline's point of view and how she deals with everything that's happened
