Kol hasn't spoken to Caroline for days now. She hasn't even seen him around, Bonnie's glad, but now Caroline has no one to tease anymore. Caroline shouldn't feel sad that Kol isn't hanging around anymore, hell, she should feel relieved. But she didn't - she couldn't.

Not to mention that Bonnie's mother was slowly being turned into a vampire, and Bonnie could barely look at her. So Caroline had to bring her Mother blood bags and coax them into her hot cocoa without her knowing. She refused to let Bonnie's Mother die, like she had let her own father.

She wouldn't let Bonnie go through that.

Bonnie was high strung these days, after nearly killing Kol, then having to come home to a vampire mother, she was going through so much.

Caroline knew that Bonnie was cracking under the pressure, sometimes she would catch Bonnie unguarded. At those times, Bonnie looked as if she was going to cry. But she locked herself back up again and was back to being the spitfire everyone knew.

"Mom?" Caroline calls as she leaves her room, she goes downstairs to see her Mom at the kitchen table, staring at the wall.

"Caroline. When were you going to tell me?" Her Mother turns to face her with a look of absolute dread on her face.

"I don't know what you're talking about." Caroline walks over to the cupboard and pulls out a box of cereal and slowly begins to pour.

"You weren't going to tell me that your boyfriend was a sadistic murderer?" Now, her Mother is standing up, her arms folded across her chest.

Caroline turns to stare at her tremendously, "Oh yeah, and where have you heard this?" She abandons her bowl of cereal.

"It doesn't matter-" Her Mother hastily says, but Caroline's seen it. The glow of compulsion in her eyes.

"Stefan told you." Caroline sighs, defeated.

Her Mother can't nod, but she doesn't deny it, "Klaus is trouble, Caroline. I don't want you anywhere near him."

Caroline looks away from her Mother stubbornly, "No he isn't. He isn't like that anymore Mom."

"Are you certain of this?" Her Mother stalks closer to her, "He's dangerous Caroline, he could hurt you."

"But he hasn't." She protests like a stubborn child.

But she got her stubbornness from her Mom, and she refuses to budge.

"There is absolutely no way I'm going to allow you near him." Her Mother shakes her head frantically, "I won't put you in danger, hon. I lost you once, I will not lose you again."

"Is this because I'm a vampire?" Caroline interrupts.

Caroline's Mother's chest tightens, guilt flashes her eyes, "That is not it. I refuse to talk about your.. condition. He is a thousand old vampire, what do you think he is doing messing with a kid like you? You're so young Caroline, you have so many other options."

"Like Tyler?" Caroline scoffs, "Last time I checked, he killed Dad."

Her Mother has a sharp intake of breath, "Tyler was a sensible young man with a curse upon him."

"So is Klaus!" Caroline interrupts, she doesn't even know why she's defending him.

"Klaus has killed undoubtedly thousands of people Caroline! I will not let him turn into the monster I fear you may become!" Her Mother is shouting by now, her heartbeat is high paced and frantic, "I will not lose you to him!"

Caroline is pissed now, "So are you telling me this or did Stefan give you a script?"

"That is not the point Caroline-"

"But its true, isn't it? You're stirring all of this up because of Stefan and his stupid jealousy!" Caroline walks over to the coat rack and takes her white jacket and puts it on.

"Caroline, please don't leave."

She stares at her Mother for a minute, "I'm not talking to you. I want to talk to my Mother, not Stefan."

"He only cares." Her Mother gasps out.

"That's the problem." Caroline grumbles as she grabs her car keys and walks outside, slamming the door.

She quickly opened her car door and pulled out of the driveway, furiously driving over to the Salvatores.

She parks in the driveway and locks her car, marching up to the door and throwing it open.

"Stefan!" She calls angrily, and is dissatisfied when she comes face to face with Damon. The very man, that just yesterday, had been calling for her death.

"Oh Barbie, it's a bit too early in the morning to come for a booty call." Damon teases her.

She isn't in the mood for him, "Damon, get the fuck out of my way before I rip your heart out."

Damon raises his eyebrows at her, "Well, look whose feeling mighty catty this morning. Did spending two weeks with Klaus make you a verified badass?"

"Damon. I'm warning you." She says through clenched teeth.

Damon raises his hands up in defense, "What's with the attitude this morning? Not a morning person?"

Caroline shoves him down then, "Damon. I'm not in the mood for your bullshit right now. Either get me Stefan or get out!"

Damon looks up, dazed from being shoved down, "I kind of like this feisty side of you."

She so did not need his flirting right now, "Is Stefan here or not?"

"Yeah, I'm here." Stefan says, entering the room, "I just wanted to watch you torture Damon some more."

Caroline's glaring at Stefan, "We need to talk."

"Do this have have to do with your Mother?" Stefan questions.

"What did you do to Barbie's Mom?" Damon asks Stefan.

Stefan glares at Damon, "It's my business, Damon." He grabs Caroline's wrist and leads her outside.

When they get outside, she wrenches her wrist out of his hand, "Why did you compel my Mom?"

"She deserved to be warned." Stefan says, looking intensely into her eyes, "You are being reckless."

"It's not your decision to make on who I date!" Caroline protests, "I don't care if I'm being reckless. I'm a big girl, I can care for myself."

"You're a baby vampire, Caroline. There is so much out there - other vampires - that you could date. Preferably ones without a record like Klaus." Stefan grunts.

"So being a artist and sexy is apparently bad on the record?" Caroline plants a hand on her hip.

Stefan rolls his eyes, "How about murdering dozens of people?"

"Oh, I'm sorry all-mighty ripper. Obviously he is nothing like you."

"This has nothing to do with me."

"Exactly."

"I didn't mean it like that-"

Caroline interrupts him, "Then how do you 'mean it'. You're just confusing me. This has nothing to do with you - so why bother?"

"I wouldn't be able to stand seeing you get hurt."

"I won't."

"You don't know that, Caroline. Why would Klaus want anything to do with you? Can't you see, he's doing it to get to me." Stefan holds her by the shoulders, "He kidnapped you, so I would break and he would get his coffins back - and he did. You're my weakness Caroline."

She flushes, "You're wrong."

Was that really all she could say?

"I'm not wrong, and you know it." Stefan's face is nearing hers now, "I don't want you in danger."

"Aren't you the dangerous one?" She whispers under her breath, her eyes searching his.

He's kissing her now, his hands are on her face and she's kissing him back.

He tastes like peppermint and vanilla, his lips are searing hot on hers as his body presses against hers, leaving her body in a sweat. He's so warm for a vampire.

They break away from each other with a gasp.

His eyes are searching hers for something, "Just, be careful." He seems to be begging her, she can tell, and he stomps off towards the house without a look back at her.

Two broken hearts in two days.

Whose next?

Caroline goes to school, like planned, and drifts through the day - barely looking at Elena. Stefan doesn't even show up for school, Caroline almost regrets going to school.

The final bell rings and she grudgingly walks to her car, and of course. Which Original is on her car today?

Of course, the blonde female that continually tried to kill Elena and tried to steal Tyler from Caroline. Well, on the second part, it would be easier for Rebekah now.

"What is it with you?" Rebekah saddles up next to Caroline, "You try to kill my brother and you have my other brother like a lovesick puppy."

Caroline shoots a glare at Rebekah, "I really don't need another Original on my back."

"Well you've got one!" Rebekah snaps, "Did you think it'd be funny to watch Kol die?"

"Oh, you're here because of Kol." Caroline rolls her eyes, "Why don't you go bug Bonnie about it?"

"Because, I have the saddest bit of sympathy for the girl." Rebekah grumbles under her breath, "I lost my Mother also."

"But you have her back now." Caroline points out.

Rebekah growls under her breath, "In case you failed to remember, my Mother vanished in a gust of air taking my brother Finn with her. So she's MIA again. I've lost her twice now."

"Do you want a pity party?" Caroline interrupts, feeling strangely annoyed.

"Hardly." Rebekah notes with anger laced in her tone, "I don't need pity from the incomprehensible blonde that enjoys to play with my brothers. They are not toys."

"Funny. I never said they were." Caroline glares at her.

Rebekah glares at her, "I won't hesitate to rip your heart out, Caroline Forbes."

Do all of the Originals use her full name?

"Wow, you sound like everyone in your family." Caroline sarcastically notes.

Rebekah smiles sweetly, "Oh Caroline. I do not see what they see in you. We'll meet again."

Caroline raises a eyebrow at her, "What?"

"Oh, Klaus hasn't notified you yet?" Rebekah's smile is suddenly too sweet for her liking, "Elijah wants to meet the girl that Klaus constantly chats about. It'll be like... a family dinner."

Caroline's eyes widen, "What-"

"I'll see you then." Rebekah stalks off before Caroline can even protest.

Bonnie was watching this ordeal and comes up to Caroline, "What was that terror doing talking to you?"

"She invited me to a family dinner." Caroline turns to stare horrendously at Bonnie, "I'm going to die."

Bonnie raises her eyebrows at this statement, "That's a bit over dramatic, isn't it?"

Caroline scoffs, "I don't think it's dramatic enough."

After brushing her teeth, she goes to see that Klaus is sprawled across her bed.

Caroline hasn't seen him since he left her house with chaste kiss on her hand.

"Caroline." He speaks gently.

"You can't be here." Caroline squeaks.

"You've never minded my being here before." Klaus questions.

"It's not me, it's my Mom." Caroline finishes lamely, "Stefan warned her about you."

Klaus sighs, sitting up on her bed, "Figured he'd do so eventually. I can imagine your reaction."

Caroline innocently smiles, "Lets just say me and my Mother aren't on speaking terms. Speaking of family, what's this I hear about some fancy family dinner?"

"Rebekah got to you." Klaus raises his eyebrows at her.

"Yes, first she was angry and shouted at me for trying to kill Kol. Then she told me about the dinner." Caroline rolls her eyes as she lets her hair down from it's rubber band.

Klaus stretches his arms, "Elijah wants to meet you, he believes that you two have never really had a decent conversation."

Caroline looks away from him, "Should I be worried?"

"Only if you have something to hide."

Caroline hopes her cheeks aren't blushing, "What do you mean?"

"Elijah has a gift for being able to tell when someone is hiding something. He also has a gift for getting it out of them." Klaus says, but it sounds more like a warning.

Caroline sits down on her bed, "Well, good thing I have nothing to hide." Caroline smiles encouragingly. Too bad I have everything to hide. She mentally whispers to herself.

Klaus smiles at her, "That's my girl." He says before kissing her.
