Chapter 11
Caroline pulled into the parking lot of her and Katherine's apartment building. She just wanted to crawl into bed and forget this day had ever happened. A car in the corner caught her eye. Was that Stefan's car? And to whom did the car next to it belong? Caroline walked up the front steps wondering what was waiting for her up in the apartment.
"Katherine?" Caroline called as she walked through the front door. "In the living room." Came the answer. Caroline could hear more heartbeats in the room as she got closer. She found Katherine, Stefan, Megan and Caitlyn all lounging on chairs and sofas. It was the guy in the corner however that grabbed her attention.
"Damon Salvatore is that really you?" Caroline asked walking over to him. He grinned and hugged her. "The one and only. Did you miss me Barbie?" Caroline laughed softly and punched him. "I'm glad to see some things never change." Caroline sat down next to Katherine. "So what's with the meeting?" she asked.
"Klaus found a wolf pack and I think he might be on his way back to get Megan's blood." Damon explained and Caroline quickly nodded. "I know and he is back already. I just ran into him in the woods." Everyone stared at her as she explained what had happened with Tyler and Klaus.
There was silence in the room when she finished. Caroline looked at Megan, she seemed lost in thought. Stefan seemed to find his voice first. "Well this changes things." He took Megan's hand. "We have to get you out of town." Megan raised her eyebrow looking at him. "We already had this discussion and I'm not going anywhere."
"You seriously told Tyler, Rebekah had to be killed to break the compulsion?" Damon asked sounding slightly impressed, he completely ignored Stefan and Megan's conversation. "Yeah I did." Caroline answered him. "But even if he decides to go through with it I have no idea how I am going to kill her."
"I can help with that." Damon's answered grabbed everyone's attention. "I have the stake Ester gave Ric to kill the Originals. I also have two daggers and some white oak ash." Damon shrugged as if he was simply naming their daily shopping list. "Where did you get all that?" Katherine asked amazed.
Damon raised his eyebrow and smirked. "I'm not just a pretty face you know." Katherine rolled her eyes and turned away from him. Leave it up to Damon to be almost seven hundred years and still act like a child.
Caroline couldn't believe her ears. Damon actually had a way to kill three Originals. "Well the dagger won't work on Klaus and if we use the stake you all die." Caitlyn pointed out. She had been so quiet Caroline had forgotten she was there. She reminded Caroline so much of Bonnie. Looking around the room Caroline couldn't help but smile a little this was just like old times.
"We can pick up this conversation later." Stefan said standing up. "We have a football game to get to." He pointedly nodded his head at Megan and Caitlyn excluding the rest. Caroline didn't complain the last thing she wanted to do was go to the game and see Tyler.
Once the others left she excused herself and went up to her room where she collapsed onto her bed. A few minutes later she heard the front door open and close as Damon left. That was the last thing she remembered before drifting into a deep sleep.
