Hey guys! Sorry I didn't update last week. I'm still here! I'm going to be a bit busy from now on so I may not be able to manage to update the right day I usually do. Please forgive. Also. After a bit of contemplating I have realized I may not have treated Hayley and Elena with enough respect and I basically just booted them out cruelly. I apologize to you Hayley, Elena, and Damon fans and all of you who like the Elena/Care friendship. I also apologize to you who like datherine. This does not mean I like Hayley, Elena, or Damon. I dislike them each. Though Damon I hate less because he is super cool! Anyways! Are we ready to start the chapter? Please review; share your input, ideas, criticism, and anything else! Happy birthday!

Fun and games

Caroline awoke bright and early. She put on some clothes, brushed her teethe, applied makeup, curled her hair, and rushed downstairs. She smelled fresh fruit and waffles with orange juice and her heart fluttered. Until she heard it. She had already stepped into the door though, sadly.

"You will get off of you're petty little buts and you will help us find Caroline!" Katherine screamed.

"Why! Why do you even care!" Damon asked. Katherine opened her mouth to argue but Kol stopped her.

"She is the voice of reason. And our best friend. You will assist us, Demon salvadork." Kol said. He let out a fake cough. "Sorry. I pronounced it wrong." Kol said.

"Is that so? Honestly, can you two not play nice and ask for help nicely?" Caroline asked, strolling into the room.

"Caroline! What are you doing here?" Katherine asked with distaste, gesturing to the house.

"Hiding, obviously. It's actually not that bad. So far." Caroline said, muttering the last part.

"Caroline, you need to come home!" Kol exclaimed.

"Over my dead body." Caroline said instantly.

"Caroline!" Elena screamed. Kol excused himself subtly.

"Yes, Elena?" Caroline asked innocently. Elena let out a frustrated sigh. Kol walked back in.

"So Caroline, how did this happen?" Kol asked.

"Well. I tried to find the place where nobody would look for me." Caroline explained.

"Care..." Katherine said with a sympathetic look. Next thing they knew the door flew off it's hinges.

"Where is she!" Klaus screamed. He flipped a table and Caroline stood, smirking.

"Nikki!" Caroline exclaimed, reaching over to give him a hug.

"Caroline." Klaus quietly said, breathing a sigh of relief.

"Mm... I'm going to go to the mall." Caroline stated, leaving to walk out bu was quickly grabbed by Klaus.

"I don't think so, love." Klaus whispered in her ear. Caroline looked flustered but quickly replaced her calm mask.

"Hey Klaus. I found out who Hayley's REAL baby daddy is." Caroline said. Everyone gasped and looked at her.

"What." Klaus whispered, loosening on her

"The immortal Silas. Looks like she found another immortal to brush her needs onto. She is such an annoying wench!" Caroline sighed.

"Caroline. Shut up. As much as I like you, if you keep talking im going to rip someone's heart out." Klaus said in annoyance, reaching over and snapping her neck lightly.

Caroline woke up with a sharp pain in her neck. She sat up with a groan. "Where are you!" Caroline , Katherine, and Kol walked in.

"Caroline. We will fix you." Klaus stated. Bonnie walked in after.

"Bonnie. You know what to do." Klaus said. She nodded in annoyance and touched Caroline's head lightly. Caroline felt a sharp pain and let out a numb scream. Bonnie stopped abruptly and received a few weird looks. She looked horrified, but quickly continued. She muttered, and with in a few seconds Caroline was once again out cold.

Kol walked into Bonnie's room that night. Bonnie was sitting at the bay window, staring out sadly. He lightly touched her shoulder and she jumped, but sighed in relief seeing his face.

"What do you want, Kol?" Bonnie asked in annoyance.

"Bonnie, why did you stop? What we were doing for Caroline? Why did you stop?" Kol asked. Bonnie furrowed her brow, then shook her head and sighed.

"Caroline... has been through a lot. She went through a lot. When I... when I did that spell on her I felt it. All of it. Everything she when through throughout her entire life and what she went through now... it was like all her pain was magnified by a microscope or something. It hurt. It was... horrible." Bonnie finished, tears in her eyes.

"Bonnie. What happened to her?" Kol asked through gritted teeth.

"I'm sorry. It's not my place to tell. She will tell you." Bonnie said sadly, gazing back out of the window. Kol furrowed his brow in frustration but gave a strained nod.

"I hope it worked." Kol said.

"It did. It had to. We need to get the cure from Elena and Damon. We need to cure Silas and kill him." Bonnie said out of the blue.

"We will." Kol nodded.

"I know. I'm going to go to bed." Bonnie said, nodding. She got up.

"I'll come with you..." Kol said in a suggestive tone.

"Kol. Seriously? Go away. I'm sure I can manage." Bonnie snapped. Kol smirked but walked back to his room laughing, hands in his jean pockets.

"Katerina..." Elijah said, grabbing her from behind into a hug and kissing her neck lightly. She gasped and tilted her head back.

"I am so sorry." He said quietly.

"I know. I just can't believe what those... those monsters did to her. I can't imagine." Katherine said, looking down with genuine sadness.

"Yes." Elijah nodded, hugging her tighter.

"Do you think she'll be ok?" Katherine asked, breaking free.

"I certainly hope so. And I have faith she will. Ms. Forbes is a strong women. She will be alright." Elijah nodded.

"I just... I just can't wait for her to wake up. I don't know if she'll be the same or terribly different. It's to hard." Katherine explained, a silent tear sliding down her cheek. She wiped furiously, trying to stay calm. Elijah stopped her. He placed his hand on her cheek that was now pooling with tears. He took his thumb and slid it along her crying cheek. She leaned in and placed a soft kiss on his softer lips. He kissed back, almost like instinct. And just like that, she was better. No. She was distracted.

Hey! Sorry it took so long but I most likely won't be updating as regularly anymore. Sorry to the Silas hater but he is necessary. I think i know how to wrap this story up and the reason Care turned it off was because of all the pain. …. As always I hope you enjoy! Please review! Happy birthday!
