When Rebekah left Caroline continued to plunged into her pool of memories. She heard light footsteps approaching towards her. She got up and facilely wiped the tears with her hands.

As she swirled around she saw Tyler.

"Caroline?"

Traces of dismay were dredged on her face this ominous disappointment of not seeing the person she's expecting rendered a confounded feeling of sadness.

"I'm sorry were you expecting somebody else?"

"Did you come here to to fight with me? Tyler I am tired of defending myself to you to Elena, Bonnie and even Damon. You just don't get me. You're being a dictator of how i feel. It's sickening sometimes that you all think you know me, you know what's in my mind, how i feel. I'm sorry. I just can't deal with this anymore." Tears welled form her eyes as he inched a little closer to her and wrapped her in his arms.

"I am so sorry too, Caroline for being judgmental but I can't help but be jealous of him. He's a difficult competitor. I want to fight for you but... "

Caroline felt a sudden pang and pity for him. She held his face with her hand and said, "Tyler I told you before and I'll tell it to you again, you have nothing to be worried about I love you."

Klaus was elusively standing from a far obtrusively heard every word Caroline said. His anxiety tremendously heightened he went home and burned the rest of the reminders of the girl who took his breath away.

"What the bloody hell are you doing brother?" Rebekah obtrusively entered Klaus' chamber of solitude.

"Leave me be sister!"

"Oh my God! You have to stop this unhealthy obsession over her. You were probably stalking her again, weren't you?"

"I just want to see her, get to know her, if I have the fighting chance to win her."

Rebekah rolled her eyes and walked towards him.

"You won't win her this way moping and burning stuff. Show her the man before the monster."

"I won't change myself for her I won't do an idea of such atrocity."

"I'm not saying that, be the person you always have been before our blasted father turned us into monsters. So technically, you're not changing. With regard to your fighting chance, based on our heart to heart earlier before you came snooping on her and Tyler, I say you definitely mean something to her. Anyways, gotta keep that blonde tease busy if i want to be crowned the next prom queen." She flicked her hair at him and left.


Caroline was still in a convalescent state after the intense altercation with Alaric. Her wounds of torment still marked the cruelty of the vampire hunter.

"SSSShhhhh.. It's me It's okay You're safe." Still echoed in her mind she stared at the floor and disillusioned by the mirage of Klaus' heroic deed, unable to accept the brevity of it all. She stood up from the chair of her dresser and was absolutely shocked at Klaus sitting on her bay window.

"Doesn't anyone know how to use the door anymore?" She fiercely grabbed on her robe to conceal the rather revealing nightgown she's wearing.

Klaus stood up and flashed his infamous dimpled smirk at her but his eyes, his eyes were filled with evident compunction.

"Are you alright?"

"This girl never fails to surprise me, despite my being a monster, she still sees me."

"Well no, how can I say this love without coming on too strong. But when Alaric took you, I felt like I was split down in the center. I have this imminent fear of not seeing the light, the light whose honesty made me feel like a human being again. I know that you may never forgive me let alone love me, I'm not asking for that. I just wish you will find the happiness you deserve. You are such an amazing person and I find myself unworthy of your trust and love. What I'm trying to say is your light will always be my humanity."

Klaus walked closer towards Caroline, she was taken aback and almost lost balance but his arms steadied her, she was about to utter the next words but was welcomed with a passionate and strong emotional kiss. His kiss of farewell is so sincere and filled with appetency that she unknowingly closed her eyes savoring the realization of her deep seated feelings. The kiss that crippled her and defied everything she stood for. When she opened them Klaus was already gone. Leaving her with a paralyzing all consuming thought.


Caroline paced back and forth in her room, her agitation is totally relentless. This unexplainable misery perennially looms in every corner, solitude was but a taste of oblivion even in her dreams. The frenzied capitulation with herself didn't come at bay. It was an unending torment as she reckons the death of Klaus. She truly detests herself for granting a feeling of contrite and unsolicited remorse for the person who had dastardly infused such forlorn hope to her and her friends.

A sudden gasped awoken from her slumber she struggled to replenish the air that has been trying to tenaciously escape from her lungs. At the very sight of her dimly lit room she gazed out from her misty window and the resoluteness of the night aggrandized the enigmatic feeling she'd been harboring since the death of both Tyler and Klaus. She faced the side of her bed and sobbed herself to sleep asking herself over and over again why Tyler has to die.

The irony of a new day the supposed hope it brings was a tyrant reminder of death, enveloping her to a labyrinth of sadness and fear. She was stuck in a place where she cannot find her way back, stuck in a place where moving on is inherently impossible. She slowly got up from her bed and gently pushed the curtains away that's blocking the view from her window.

"Caroline?" Thoughts that ran furiously in her mind suddenly went to a halt. Recognizing the voice of her mom, she found it utterly familiar right then and there she was once again dragged back to the past all the distraught and pain she once felt, illuminated right in front of her. Everything just came pouring down on her like a flash flood of memories; when her father and Tyler left her permanently felt as if a stake was forcefully pierced her heart.

Sheriff Forbes opened the door and found her used to be her bundle of joy all broken and torn into pieces, it kills her to see her daughter like this.

"Honey are you okay?"

I'm not sure, Tyler's gone Elena's in transition and she's adamant about it I mean she never wanted to ever become a vampire. It's one thing after another, I feel like my chest is about to explode. I don't think we will ever be okay. I don't know where or how to begin. I feel helpless, I can't help my friends, I can't do anything! Mom I am so lost." Caroline's eyes are boisterous with tears and arrant unhappiness, her mom cradled her in her arms and mellifluously hushed her.

"Life can be tainted with so much evilness that we can barely handle, but when there's evil good will also rise. You can get through this. I know you can. You may think that you don't deserve this kind of life but everything happens for a reason. You're strong and you still have many wonderful years ahead of you." Those words that reverberated in her mind it was one of Klaus' reminiscent emprise that somewhat captivated her. She unconsciously smiled while looking down on the floor as her mother brushed her tears away.

"See? you're already feeling better."

"Thanks mom." Her mom kissed her forehead and left.

The incessant ringing of her cellphone frighteningly alarms her this undesirable sensation crept in her spine.

"Hello?"

"Caroline, it's Elena. She's..." Before Stefan could finish she hurriedly said "I'm on my way."

She bolstered through the Salvatore's abode, "What's happening?"

"Good Morning to you too sunshine" Damon's sarcastic as always despite the dire situation at hand.

"Now's not the time Damon! Where is she? Where's Stefan"

"Well if you mean my idiot of a brother who saved a quarterback leaving Elena to drown and be killed he's in the basement with the very very stubborn Elena." Caroline rolled her eyes and dashed in the basement where she saw her bestfriend in so much pain.

"I don't want to feed Stefan I don't want to become a vampire." Caroline rushed to Elena's side and embraced her.


The pernicious and pervasive calmness maimed them, words seemed penury and docile. Their heads are depriving them to speak but their hearts are telling otherwise.

"Caroline, thank you for being here with me. You have no idea how much I appreciate you staying with me through all of this. And your problem with Klaus? Well it's all up to you, don't be like me. I- I cannot decide between Damon and Stefan, It's just it's so hard with Stefan..."

Caroline gleamed at her and almost in a whisper ,"He's your epic love."

Elena smiled in approval as she wiped the teardrop that magnificently glistened with her sincerity.

"But Damon I just can't shake him off. I let him become a part of me that I'm scared to hurt him. But... Now that I've made my choice, losing him will deeply anguish me and I'm still not ready for that. When I found out about how close you have gotten with Klaus, I was angry and hurt because he had done a lot of terrible things but the truth is I'm just trying to protect you and my feelings. I was selfish and stubborn for not admitting to myself that... Stefan and Damon also murdered people, one of them just don't happened to be Jenna. "

"I know, count me in to that bandwagon..." Caroline leaned her head back in exasperation, the agony that has been torturing her for quite sometime was vicious and relentless.

"The guy from the carnival? He was someone else's dad or uncle or friend and- and I killed him. I relished on killing him..." she sighed and forlornly motioned her gaze at her.

"Klaus- Klaus will just be an imprint of my memory, he's gone and now I will never get the chance to know him all I ever did was reject him."

"Elena I know that everything's on the line here and none of us intend for your life to become like this but... I just don't want to wonder for eternity, ""what could've been?"" Don't be haunted like that."

She stared at her mournfully, grasping every ounce of her strength to settle the altercation that has been excruciating her. The perspicacity of ambivalent decision of either dying but being steadfast along with it leaving everything you love for all eternity or turning but living with a promise of death in immortality. Either way this battle of life and death won't be hesitant in taking its toll.

"I think..." Caroline listen intently as she surmised the fact the Elena's words may be her last.

"I'm going to go through the transition.."

"Are you sure? Is this what you really want?"

The desolation and lost hope effused Elena's eyes, it was painstaking for Caroline to see her empty. The plethora of childhood memories came rushing violently like waves crashing to the sea. She can't help but become nostalgic, that the simplicity of their lives before vampires and supernaturals were ubiquitous in Mystic Falls, now just a faded memory , a relic of of euphoria, a haven of content.

"Ok, if this is your choice then I will be here for you no matter what."
