Chapter 13

Elena left to go to the Salvatore house to get the grimoire Bonnie needed for the spell. Caroline went home and took a shower. She walked into her bedroom and looked around. Nothing felt the same to her anymore. She went to her closet and searched the hangers. She picked out a shirt and a pair of jeans and put them on. Then she spied one of her old dance class duffle bags. She grabbed it and emptied it onto the floor of her closet. She grabbed at her favorite pieces of clothes that Klaus had not already gotten when he was there a few weeks ago. She sorted through her shoes and threw a few pair in the bag as well. She figured after this was over and Klaus was cured of the wolf they would head out on their travels. Or she hoped. She sat back on her heels and took a deep breath. Tears formed in her eyes again and poured down her cheeks.

Caroline made it back to Bonnie's house before Elena. They sat and waited for her to come back. Caroline paced and paced.

"You are going to wear out the carpet Caroline."

"She screwed me Bonnie. I knew it. I knew she wouldn't do it."

"Who didn't do what?" said Elena from behind Caroline. She whirled around and looked at Elena. She was holding a large very old book.

"Oh Thank God." Caroline said and walked towards Elena and grabbed the book from her grasp. She took a step back from Elena. "Thank you Elena." Elena did not speak she half nodded and gave Caroline a small smile.

Caroline walked to Bonnie and handed her the grimoire. Bonnie sat on the couch and flipped through the old book.

"Found it." Bonnie said. Elena was the first to move. She walked over and sat next to Bonnie. Caroline was frozen in her place.

"OK. This spell is a little in depth. We are going to need wolfsbane."

"Wolfsbane?" said Caroline.

"Yes wolfsbane and vervain."

"OK." said Caroline. She sat down slowly on a nearby chair.

"OK she we need chopped Laurel leaves, cayenne pepper, sea salt…"

"What are we making soup."

"Caroline." said Bonnie a little annoyed. "Dried hydrangea blossoms, vervain and wolfsbane."

"So where can we get all of this?" asked Elena some what interested.

"Grams had an herb garden. I am sure she had most of this. We just need to get wolfsbane and vervain."

"Well. Vervain is no problem." said Elena as she pulled her locket from her shirt. Caroline looked at Elena almost shocked, then smiled.

"Now for the wolfsbane. Where can we find that?"

"Damon had some when Mason was in town. Doesn't it grow in the woods around here or something?" said Caroline. "I will go out and look. I will be back soon."

Caroline left Bonnie's house in search for wolfsbane while Bonnie and Elena gathered the ingredients for the elixir. By the time Caroline returned with the wolfsbane the potion was almost done.

"Its smells like soup in here." said Caroline as she walked in to the kitchen. Bonnie was standing at the stove cooking the mixture. She looked worried. "What's the matter Bonnie?"

Bonnie looked at Elena then back to Caroline.

"Spill it you guys. I am starting to freak out a little."

"Caroline. There is one more part to the spell." said Elena.

"I didn't see it until you left." said Bonnie. Caroline saw the grimoire opened to the page for the elixir recipe and read.

"OK so he has to drink the elixir an hour before the spell is cast…. with three drops of his blood in the potion." Caroline read on.

"So he really has to agree to this Caroline. He has to be on board."

"You guys really have not faith in me or Klaus for that matter."

"Why would I have any faith in Klaus?" said Elena. Caroline shot her a look.

"Elena would you doubt Stefan if this were him?"

"Not but thats…" Caroline put her hand up for Elena to stop talking.

"And I have no doubt in Klaus. You don't know what we have shared. You just don't know." Caroline almost sobbed. She turned her back to the girls in the kitchen and a tear fell from her eye again. She whipped it away then turned back.

"OK Caroline the elixir is done. Now you have to get this to Klaus."

"Yeah thats a problem. I kind of can't go back to the house we were staying in."

"What do you mean?" asked Bonnie confused.

"Well" Caroline said leaning forward on the counter. "Klaus kind of compelled me to get as far away from the house and him as I could. So I can't go back. But you…"

"Oh no. Caroline you want me to go to Klaus and give him this."

"Bonnie please." she begged moving towards her quickly and pulling her into a hug.

"You are really pushing the boundaries of friendship."

"Bonnie." Caroline whined. Bonnie looked at her and grimaced.

"OK where do I have to go." Caroline hugged her again as Elena watched. She shook her head again still unable to wrap her mind around this.
