Hey guys! What do you think of the Caroline thing? I know, I know, 'She's stronger than this!' and I know she is but, I decided it would give it a bit of drama I wanted. And seriously? She's not perfect! She was tortured by her dear old dad for only one day. Imagine what a few weeks would do! So yah. I'm gonna get on with it before I anger too many people. Please review! Happy Birthday!

Caroline was sitting in Bonnie's room. Her, Kol, Bonnie, and eventually Katherine when she got done with Elijah were talking. Caroline had spent the night in Bonnie's room. It was the next morning and they were all just talking and laughing. Klaus came in and Bonnie stiffened. It was no secret she wasn't Klaus's biggest fan, but she would tolerate them.

"Ummm…. May I speak with Kol and Katerina for a second?" Klaus asked politely.

"Uggg! But we were-"Kol started complaining. He saw Klaus's serious expression and nodded solemnly.

"Okay, come now Kat. Caroline, Bonnie we will be back shortly." Kol said. Katherine protested but Kol kept dragging her along.

"What's wrong Nik?" Kol asked in annoyance.

"It's…." Klaus started once they were in his study, sealed by a spell.

"Caroline." Kol finished, not needing to confirm his wild guess. Klaus nodded.

"What happened?" Katherine asked, now completely snapped in. Katherine was much like Klaus. She didn't care much until it came to the people she loved. She would do anything for the people she loved.

"I've had someone watching her for the past few weeks, ever since she came back after Silas. I don't think she's as fine as she claims." Klaus said. They each gave him a puzzled expression.

"My men say they haven't seen her drink a drop of blood. They say she runs away when she's too close, like she's fearful of it." Klaus said, looking down.

"Bill tortured her, and when she was in a talking mood she usually just told me about how Silas dressed as her father and tortured her the same way. I'm guessing that was Silas's entrée way. He also used when she was tortured by the wolves. And Alaric." Katherine said.

"There's not much he can do with Alaric's memory. He just Vervained her a bit and stuck pencils in her." Klaus said.

"Is that the story she came up with to make you feel better? Okay, we'll go with that. The real one even SOUNDS horrible." Katherine said, gritting her teethe thinking of all of this.

"What actually happened?" Klaus asked. Kol and Katherine shifted uncomfortably.

"He dumped a couple viles of concentrated vervain into the pool. Then he compelled her to stay conscious while he pushed her in. it was like when Mason hid the moonstone and Stefan went to get it…. Then he would force vervain down her throat so she would have to feel the burning for the next few days. He made videos he was going to send you if you took too long. He compelled her to believe she had a piece of wood in her chest. She would have to feel it scraping her heart, knowing it's not there but feeling it. He compelled her to think she was human, being a human blood bag. He may not have had that much time, but it only takes a few minutes to compel people, then he would wipe her memory and start again. He didn't want anyone to be too angry with him, because he's seen wolves and they aren't fun, so he just made sure she wasn't going through compulsion while you guys were watching." Katherine said. Klaus was about to get angry, but luckily Kol interrupted.

"Let's go, Katerina. Don't worry Nik. We know just what to do." Kol said. Katherine gulped and looked at him.

"You mean-"Katherine started.

"Yup." Kol nodded, very seriously. Klaus rolled his eyes as the two exited. They went to find Caroline.

"Hello, Care. You want to get something to eat?" Katherine asked. Caroline nodded, along with Bonnie.

"Sure." Caroline said. The four went down to the kitchen. Kol pulled Bonnie aside for a second, and she left, looking a bit nervous. Katherine poured three glasses of blood and handed them to each of her friends.

"No thanks, I better get back up, where did Bonnie go?" Caroline asked.

"No! We're celebrating!" Kol whined.

"Celebrating what?" Caroline asked.

"We are going to go on a girl's night!" Kol squealed. Caroline sighed while Katherine cheered.

"Where are we going?" Caroline asked.

"Greece. Athens has a lovely beach, oh and the scenery, darling we need to pack!" Kol drawled.

"Fine. Give me ten minutes and we are out the door." Caroline said, rushing upstairs. She didn't even touch her blood.

"Athens it is." Kol sighed. Katherine smiled sympathetically at him. She knew how hard this was for him. She hugged him briefly before rushing upstairs herself, successfully downing hers and Caroline's blood. It was ten minutes later that the three friends were out the door and on their way to Athens.

Kol was going to say goodbye to Bonnie. He didn't want her throwing a hissy fit about him not saying goodbye. He went in and saw her, watching TV and staring down her phone.

"Hello, Bonnie." Kol said.

"Kol. What do you want? If you're bored Care and Kat are just down the hall." Bonnie said in annoyance.

"Relax, dear. I just came to say farewell. I, Care bear, and Katerina are on our way to the city of Athens for a girl's night." Kol said proudly. Bonnie snorted.

"Your pride is just so funny! You are way too arrogant!" Bonnie said. They were quiet for a few moments before she spoke up.

"Have fun." She said. She pushed Kol out the door, but right before he exited, she stole a chaste kiss from his lips, causing him to stand in shock.

Katherine went to her room. She saw Elijah, shouting into the phone.

"Elijah!" Katherine called, trying to get his attention. He sighed and hung upon the recipient of his harsh words.

"Yes, Katerina?" He asked.

"Klaus just told me and Kol that our friend, Caroline hasn't drunken a drop of blood for weeks. Ever since she was tortured and turned it back on… long story short me and Kol are going to take her to Athens for a girls night to see if we can convince her to drink some blood. It's a competition. Winner gets to torture Damon; loser has to capture him WITHOUT knocking him out. Bye, 'Lijah!" Katherine said, running out the door after packing, leaving Elijah curious. He went and visited Niklaus. Niklaus would be a reliable source of information. At least he hoped.

Caroline was rushing about the house, saying her farewells to Stefan, Rebekah, Finn, Sage, Bonnie, and Finally Klaus. She was at his study. She knocked gently. She heard him shout for her to come in. she opened the door and saw him painting. He was painting a single snowflake, glowing above all of the others. She cleared her throat. He looked at her. He hid it well, but it pained him to watch her self destruct like this.

"Umm…. Me, Kol and Kat are going to Athens for the weekend. I wanted to say a quick goodbye." Caroline said shyly. Klaus walked up to her and hugged her, taking her by surprise. She hugged him back.

"Bye. She said. She then walked out, smiling to herself.

Hey! I don't think Caroline would like to be pushed into anything, and I think her friends would handle the task best so thats why I did that. Next chapter will be girl's night (Sigh). I am so happy. I have been I need of a nice, slow, refreshing girls night. I hope you enjoyed! Happy Birthday!
