*The Return*
When I look into your eyes
It's like watching the night sky
Or a beautiful sunrise
Well, there's so much they hold
And just like them old stars
I see that you've come so far
To be right where you are
How old is your soul?
Well, I won't give up on us
Even if the skies get rough
I'm giving you all my love
I'm still looking up
And when you're needing your space
To do some navigating
I'll be here waiting
To see what you find
'Cause even the stars they burn
Some even fall to the earth
We've got a lot to learn
God knows we're worth it
No, I won't give up
Caroline stood by a bench table, realizing what she'd done. She didn't know what was happening to her. All she knew was that she'd killed someone.
Enzo came up to her when she was seated on the table, sobbing over what she'd done.
She looked at him.
"What have I done? What's happening to me?"
"You're a vampire now, gorgeous. It's all part of being one. It's okay. I can help you."
*Rescue Me*
I don't wanna be someone who walks away so easily
I'm here to stay and make the difference that I can make
Our differences they do a lot to teach us how to use
The tools and gifts we got, yeah, we got a lot at stake
And in the end, you're still my friend at least we did intend
For us to work we didn't break, we didn't burn
We had to learn how to bend without the world caving in
I had to learn what I've got, and what I'm not, and what I am
I won't give up on us
Even if the skies get rough
I'm giving you all my love
I'm still looking up, I'm still looking up
It was a beautiful day, as Enzo and Caroline sat next to each other in the waiting room.
She looked at him.
"Dear God, please don't tell me that I am the real reason why you're here."
"Why not?" he replied. "From what Damon tells me, I am your type. Well-traveled, charming accent, dodgy morals."
"Arrogant, tactless, completely unable to take a hint," she interjected.
"Precisely," he agreed. "Well, to be honest, you remind me of someone I once knew. She worked for the Augustines."
"You mean, she tortured you? I can definitely relate to that," she replied.
"Maggie was only there to observe my behavior in captivity. I quite liked her, actually," he informed her.
"And let me guess. She made you want to be a better man," she assumed.
"Not at all. She just reminded me that I was good all along," he corrected her.
*Home*
Well I won't give up on us (No, I'm not giving up)
God knows I'm tough enough (I am tough, I am loved)
We've got a lot to learn (we're alive, we are loved)
God knows we're worth it (And we're worth it)
I won't give up on us
Even if the skies get rough
I'm giving you all my love
I'm still looking up
It was a dismal night, as Enzo looked at her, as he approached her, after coming back to life along with some other people.
"See you around gorgeous," he said with a smile, as he passed her.
