Elena walked into her house late at night. She was exhausted. Not only physically, but mentally. After all the occurrences of the past week she had no time to rest. It was probably best anyways because resting meant thinking and thinking meant guilt and she just couldn't afford to have those thoughts right now. None of them did. They did what was right. They all knew it, not only her… right?

She shook her head trying to rid herself of all those thoughts, but it was turning out to be harder than she thought. She just couldn't help but feel extremely bad about all of it. Caroline was her friend. No – her sister. Neither of them had any sisters, they had each other. All throughout school they had each other. Bonnie, Elena, and Caroline the eternal trio. So that's how she justified it, as her sister she owed it to her to watch out for her. Especially since she had been making these bad decisions.

Klaus was bad news, it was obvious. He could not be trusted ever. After everything he had done there was just no reasoning with him. His reputation proved he only held one constant – deceit. Whatever he was trying to do with Caroline, they all saw right through it. His true colors were bound to shine through and Caroline was going to come out badly damaged. So she – they all – had made a decision that they would be the first to act.

Even though she was aware that in the process they had slightly betrayed one of their own, but Caroline would get over it. She was one of them, soon she would realize that she was thinking naively.

In the midst of her thoughts she had shrugged off her jacket and kicked her shoes off in the living room. Making her way into the kitchen she noticed that not only was the light on, but there seemed to be a mesmerizing aroma coming from that area. Walking in she noticed there was a feast, well to her it was considering she was not really accustomed to homemade meals. It was very strange though, who could've cooked all of this?

She made her way slowly to the food taking in the wonderful smells, when she suddenly heard a noise behind her. She jumped at the sight. Caroline.

She was standing behind her swaying a knife back and forth with an eerie grin on her face.

"Elena! How are you? Smells good doesn't it. Cooked it just for you, bestie". Elena didn't miss the way she emphasized that last word. She gulped down, though she wasn't sure why. Caroline was her sister! She would never – could never think – could she?

"Caroline, hi. Where have you been? We've all been so worried. Since that night we—"

"Yes! That night" Caroline cut her off slowly walking towards her. "A lot went down that night, huh?" she stood directly in front of her eyeing her. Elena couldn't help but feel frightened, her best friend Caroline was always so bubbly and light but this Caroline, the one standing in front of her, seemed different. She wasn't sure what it was, and that made her nervous.

Clearing her throat she spoke, "I – I'm really sorry Caroline. You have to kn—"

"Oh! Don't worry Elena! Don't even worry about it!" Caroline said turning around grabbing a plate from the drawer.

She turned around giving her best friend her signature Barbie smile. She walked over to the stove and began to serve Elena food.

"I don't even know how this is gonna taste. Probably not that great, but I've had a lot of time on my hands you know. Since that day" She eyed Elena that dark look returning and leaving in less than a second. Elena had no idea what to think, but she couldn't help but feel uneasy.

"Anyways, I've just been filling up the time. Cooking, reading, thinking, hunting" that last word caught Elena's attention. She looked up from the plate of food she had been eyeing to look at Caroline. Her eyes were fixated on Elena. She gave her a huge grin and giggled while she handed Elena the plate of food.

"Uh, thanks Care"

"Yep. No problem" She shrugged. "Why don't you take a seat, sweet Elena? You'll enjoy your meal a lot more" she pointed towards the dinner table.

"Right. Why don't you join me? We can talk?" Elena suggested while she sat at the end of the table. "Yeah Elena! Of course we're gonna talk!" she said joining her, sitting directly at the other end. "But I'm not eating that" she gave a wicked laughter that Elena had only heard on one other person.

"Oh" she wasn't sure what to think, but after that laughter she wasn't sure how to feel about the meal. She sat in her seat picking at the food hoping Caroline didn't notice her growing weariness. She did.

"What's wrong Elena? You haven't even touched the food. What? Don't trust me or my skills?" she asked feigning an offended face.

"No – it's not that Caroline. I'm just, not very hungry. That's all"

"Mmm, I doubt that's the problem" she said slowly lifting herself from the table. "I think – I think! You don't trust me. Yeah, that's the problem. Poor little Caroline can't do anything for herself, and if she does it's half-assed" her demeanor had changed completely at this point. She made her way slowly to where Elena sat making Elena grow even more afraid with each slow step she took.

"Because nothing Caroline has can be good right? Caroline cannot have anything good in her life. Ever. Isn't that right, Elena?"

Elena gulped slowly reaching for the knife that was on the table.

"Hm, what are you doing?" Caroline's hand swiftly moved and gripped on Elena's hand. "Are you… afraid?" she threw her head back in laughter. "Oh Elena! What's wrong? Why are you so scared? After all, you did nothing wrong right? Everything's fine."

The grip Caroline had on her tightened, and Elena winced in pain slowly looking up at Caroline. She almost wished she hadn't. She gasped realized that Caroline eyes were slowly growing darker, and they were staring directly at her.

At this, Caroline only smiled. "So Elena, since you're not hungry. Let's talk!" she threw the plate of food across the room causing the plate to shatter on the wall. Pushing the table out of the way, causing it to flip on its side, she stood directly in front of Elena who was frozen in her seat.

"Where. Is. His. Body." She asked emphasizing each word.

Elena wouldn't meet her gaze. She had never seen Caroline like this, and she was afraid. This was not how things were supposed to go.

Caroline grabbed Elena's chin roughly forcing her to look at her, "I'm being very nice, Elena! Just tell me where your little Scooby gang hid him. I'll go get him. All will be forgiven". She let Elena go, softly fixing her hair and adjusting her shirt.

"You know I can't do that Caroline. I'm sor—" she was cut off by a swift slap on her face.

"Shut up Elena! I don't need your empty words. YOU. You were my sister, and I was willing to let this go if only you let me retrieve what's mine. But I should've know you were going to be selfish about this". Elena gripped the side of her face. She couldn't believe this was happening. Sweet, bubbly, Caroline had slowly turned into a monster.

"Look what you've become! Look what he turned you into! Can't you see it! It's better this way Caroline! He was just going to corrupt you!" Caroline, who had been pacing the floor with her back to Elena, suddenly stopped and turned. Her face completely serious.

Slowly it turned into a smirk and then laughter, "Wow! Seriously?" She flashed to Elena her eyes meeting Elena's serious gaze.

"Look at perfect Elena. So strong and beautiful, but just how strong?" suddenly Elena felt herself fly off her chair and land on the ground.

"Mmm, guess not that strong, huh? Now, listen up, Elena! I'm only gonna say this once. You and your friends have two days to bring me his body, and all will be forgotten. I'll forgive you, and I'll even convince him to leave you all alone. Who knows? I might even have a change of heart and become your bestie again." Elena groaned turning around to face an all vamped Caroline. The veins on her face, and her fangs, were enough to have Elena's pace quicken. "But if you don't" she continued, grabbing Elena and setting her on her feet. She threw her on the couch, and flashed over to stand in front of her.

Her veins began to disappear along with her fangs, "Sweet Elena" she spoke gently caressing her face. "If you don't, you'll regret ever coming up with that idiotic plan. And I'll put my dear Klaus and your precious Ripper to shame" she finished with her beautiful Barbie grin.

She began walking to the front door, leaving a shocked Elena lying on the couch, when she turned around, "This can be real easy, Elena. Just give me back what's mine and all will be forgotten" she opened the door and set one foot outside.

She sighed, and looked at Elena who had turned to face her, "Just so you know. Klaus didn't do this to me. He turned me into a happier Caroline, and I turned him into a more civilized 'ripper'. If you're going to blame someone, blame yourself and your little gang." A tear fell down her face, and she wiped it away before fixing her gaze outside, "YOU. All of you. You guys unleashed this beast".
