Chapter 1

The After effects

Caroline opened her eyes as sunlight came streaming through the room. She saw elena standing near the window deep in thought as usual. Elena had decided that she was not going to become a vampire last night. Just like her father had. Every one including her Stefan, damon, Jeremy and Matt had tried to convince her other wise. But Elena stuck to her decision only bonnie supported her.

Caroline didn't remember how she fell asleep all she remembered was crying and trying to convince Elena. Elena now looked at her. 'You are awake' she said caroline only nodded .

'Elena now that you have had time to think do you think that your decision' caroline said but before she could finish Elena cut in 'my decision is the same caroline, I don't want to be a vampire.'

Elena sighed and continued 'I know its strange coming from me. I mean my best friend is a vampire, the love of my life is , but I just don't want be one. Not because I think its wrong or something but because its not the life that I want'.

'Well then you are just going to have to deal with it' Caroline heard Damon say. Damon and Stefan were standing at the door to elena's room. Caroline had had enough of Elena ,Stefan and damon's drama last night. It had gone to as far as Damon claiming that Elena should have chosen him because he loved her more and would not have saved any one else over her. It was quite a shocking moment because till then no one even knew that Elena had made her final decision.

Not that it would matter now caroline thought. 'I will leave you guys alone' said caroline and left before Elena could protest. When she came downstairs she saw bonnie and Jeremy sleeping while they were hugging on the couch together. She smiled despite herself. Caroline couldn't find matt anywhere and went out of the house.

As soon as she was out tears started falling on her face. Every one leaves me she thought. My father is gone, Tyler is dead and now Elena. She had barely had had enough time to cry over Tyler when she found out that Elena is in transition and doesn't want to complete it. As she thought all this she fell on her knees on the ground and started sobbing loudly.

After crying for a while caroline gathered all her strength and decided that she was not going to cry for herself any more. This wasn't about her. It was about Elena and what she wants and as her best friend caroline was going to support her.

If this is her last day, then I am going to make it the most memorable day of her life. I am not going to let her spend her last day crying and hiding in a room. After all she was Caroline Forbes and it was her job that in this world of madness her friends should be as happy as possible even in dire situations Caroline thought.

Caroline put her usual bubbly face on and compelled her self to forget the ache she was feeling in every part of her body because out of two people she loved the most in her life she had lost one and was about to lose the other one. Caroline got up and walked inside Elena's house. Bonnie and Jeremy were up. As soon as bonnie saw Caroline she came up to her and said 'I know things with Elena are crazy but if you want to talk about Tyler'.

'I don't' said Caroline with a forced smile. 'Today is about Elena and not me. We can talk about me tomorrow but Elena has no tomorrow' Caroline said stifling a sob. Then they saw Damon storming down the stairs and Stefan and Elena standing calmly upstairs.

'What happened' Bonnie asked as Damon went out slamming the door. ' He doesnt understand' said Elena with tears in her eyes. No this has to be her best day Caroline thought as she went after Damon.

Rebekah was sitting in her drawing room looking at some of klaus's drawings when she heard the noise. It was coming from the basement. It has to be them she thought. Rebekah was prepared for this. She had known that the Salvatore brother's will come to desiccate her as well as soon as they found out that she killed their precious doppelganger .

Well they are in for a surprise because she wasnt the one getting killed today they were she though. I am going to avenge my brother's death Rebekah thought. She went downstairs to the basement. Some one was defiantly there but she couldn't feel the Salvatore brothers presence infact she felt someone else's presence.

Its not possible, my mind is playing tricks on me she thought. Then suddenly she came face to face with the intruder he was holding some blood bags in his hands. Rebekah pushed the intruder against the wall with all her strength and said ' so sire boy ready to die' as shown as she said that she felt a powerful push against her chest as she fell down.

'Be careful whom you talk to' said Tyler.

'What the hell,

how are you stronger than me' said Rebekah. 'Because I am your brother Rebekah. Havent I told you before no one can kill me ,I will live always and forever.'

'Damon wait' said caroline as she followed him outside. 'Leave me alone barbie' said Damon.

'I would gladly but my best friend is about to die and right now she needs everyone she loves around her and you are one of them' said Caroline.

'What do you want me to do barbie hold her hand while she dies ,I cant I love her too much' damon said with the rare emotion in his eyes.

'No I want you to help me make her laugh and smile so that this death is easier for her' said Caroline.

'You have an eternity to be mad at Elena and Stefan for their decisions but Elena only has today. Just for today let her be with all the people she loves in the way she has always wanted so that her last day is the most beautiful day of her life. Damon, Elena will not change her decision no matter how angry you get. So instead of wasting the little time you have with her being mad at her spent it showing how much you love her. Then tomorrow when she is gone you can be mad at her again.' Damon looked at Caroline with his vulnerable eyes and said 'what do you have planned' he said softly

If rebekah was actually an 18 year old girl she would be dancing and jumping right now but she wasn't she was a 1000 year old original vampire so she kept her composure but her heart felt as if it would burst from happiness.

'I cant believe you actually thought I would die so easily' Klaus said as Rebekah hugged him tightly. She looked up at her brother and said 'you are right you are always a step ahead' she smiled.

'So I am assuming it was Bonnie who did the spell' said Rebekah 'when are you getting your body back.'

'Pretty soon' said Klaus 'but first I need to get the doppelganger again, drain her of her blood so that the hunter dies.'

Rebekah felt her knees weakening as she said ' Brother' rebekah said she had no idea how Klaus will take this news 'elena is dead I killed her'.

He brother looked at her with confusion then it was replaced by pure rage as he came forward 'What did you say' he said sternly.

'I I thought you were dead and Elijah told we have to run from the hunter and I didn't want to run anymore so I killed her so that the hunter dies' said rebekah.

Klaus's face twisted in anger as he tried to control it, Rebekah knew in that moment that if she wasn't Klaus's sister she would be dead right now. Klaus picked up the huge wooden table beside them and threw it across the wall and said ' you foolish girl'.
