Thank you for all the comments they make me want to write more often so please review I love reading them. I think it's a bit early for an original just yet, but then again I've been known to change my mind on a whim ;) loved writing this chapter, starting to really get to know Enzo a bit more I think, so hope you enjoy and please review I wanna know what you think!

Caroline and Enzo sat blissfully in Enzo's car as the two sat side by side driving down a country road. They were off to Damon's house for an after party and Caroline was totally content and relaxed.

Enzo sat with one hand on the steering wheel and one hand over the back of Caroline's seat, stroking her shoulder with his thumb from time to time, which sent shivers down Caroline's spine every time he done so, but she never batted an eyelid, God forbid She gave Enzo the satisfaction.

Her mind drifted as she relaxed back in her seat taking in the country view, from what she understood Damon's house was somewhere in the English countryside and it would take a while for everyone to drive there, she and Enzo took his car and the others made their way in Damon's car like they had earlier that morning to the beach.

Her mind drifted back to the day she and Enzo had just spent together and she spent the drive trying to comprehend how much had happened in the short time the pair had known each other, it was all such a whirlwind and she had barely thought about home since meeting him, there was something about him that made her feel so comfortable, maybe it was the vampire thing, although she didn't feel the electricity with Damon or stefan, she decided not to think on it too much and just to go with it, there was just something different about him unlike any man she had ever met. Caroline banished her control freaky have to have everything figured out right now thoughts and let her mind drift back to their day at the beach.

"Don't you dare!" She warned in a high pitched voice as Enzo playfully lifted her up in the water.

"I love it when you use your angry voice" Enzo teased holding her up in his arms making it well known what he was about to do.

"You're Impossible!" Caroline giggled as she begged him not to throw her.

Enzo let go throwing Caroline into the water and laughing, watching the water where she disappeared for her to reemerge and probably punch him.

Caroline rose from the water coughing and spluttering, but she didn't look angry, she may in fact have been laughing.

"Im gonna kill you!" She giggled splashing water at him.

Enzo beamed a boyish grin and pulled her towards him enveloping her in his arms, he wouldn't throw her this time, he just couldn't remember a time when he was this happy.

The two kissed as he held her so her feet weren't touching the ocean floor, neither of them now cared about public displays of affection as everyone had assumed they were together now, confirmed by their cuddling in the sand earlier.

Caroline was totally at peace, she neither could remember a time when she was this happy.

Caroline smiled to herself thinking about their day together and was abruptly pulled from her daydream as the car pulled to a stop in front of a huge mansion. She looked up at it and wasn't surprised in the least if she was honest, this was exactly the kind of house she imagined Damon living in. She was looking at the huge lawn with a large Victorian style mansion placed on it, the house looked like it could sleep at least 10 people. Caroline glanced back at Enzo who was looking up at the house and smiling.

"Havent been here in years." He said quietly.

Enzo smiled at Caroline then jumped out of the car excitedly and had made his way round to open Caroline's door before she ever realised he had. She stepped out and noticed that damons car was already parked in the driveway in front of enzos which meant that everyone was already here and we're most likely already drinking. Everyone seemed totally up for getting drunk, the girls especially since they weren't working until Monday and had nothing to do tomorrow, and neither did Caroline although she always felt slightly on edge drinking around the girls, like she was going to blab all her secrets or something if she got too much alcohol in her.

Enzo took Caroline's hand and the two walked towards the front door.

"Ready for this?" Enzo looked down at Caroline as the two stood on the front porch about to go in.

"It's just a drink." Caroline said looking up at him, slightly confused about him asking if she was ready for a few drinks in a friends house.

Enzo smiled to himself like he was recalling a happy memory "you've obviously never been to a party in damons house."

Caroline gave him a small challenging smile, "I'm sure I'll manage." She said sarcastically.

He smirked back and her and grasped her hand tight as the two strode forward into the house. They walked straight ahead towards the noise, everyone had started without them.

"Drink!" They heard a group of voices shout at once. While approaching the living room the pair encountered everyone sitting on couches surrounding a table full of bourbon, and they appeared to be playing drinking games and were totally enjoying it. Upon their arrival Caroline and Enzo met the eyes of everyone as they turned to greet them.

"There you are! What did you walk here!?" Damon said loudly over the music.

Caroline asked herself if she was up for this like Enzo had asked, why the hell not? When was the last time she had played a drinking game? Forever ago. Everyone was having fun and Caroline was going to be one of them.

"What're we drinking?" Caroline asked playfully to the group as she slipped her jacket off and made her way towards the table full of booze, her remark was met by a cheering and laughter from the group as she picked up a bottle of bourbon from the table to get involved in whatever crazy drinking game everyone was playing. Enzo rubbed his hands together and laughed as he also made his way towards them taking a seat on the couch next to Damon shortly before Caroline followed and sat next to him and swung her legs over his while sipping a bottle.

"Okay, the game is never have I ever.. I say never have I ever.. Kissed someone.. And if you have.. You have to do a shot.. Got it?" Elena said while lifting a shot to her mouth in demonstration for the group, although Caroline was sure that every person in the world knew how to play never have I ever.

The game went on and on, everyone got the boring questions over with forcing everyone to drink more and more, the group laughed and laughed as the questions grew more and more obscure and they were all getting to know each other's darkest secrets. Caroline giggled with Enzo when he drank and they talked quietly to themselves as she got to know him better finding out he had done things like woken up and not known where he was and got so drunk he'd passed out, things she wasn't really that surprised by but found endearing.

"Okay..never have I ever.. Bitten someone." Damon stated.

Caroline chocked on her mouth full of bourbon she had drank before he said it, the group laughed but all the vampires in the room knew exactly what he was doing. Stefan gave his brother a warning look but Caroline and Enzo laughed and enjoyed the private joke, everyone else just thought Damon was being a bit kinky in his questions.

Enzo nuzzled his head into Caroline's neck and made growling noises playfully pretending to bite her and she giggled.

He took his shot although none of the other vampires in the room had the guts to.

It was getting late and everyone was getting drunk and slouchy, lounging on the couches with less energy than earlier in the night, Damon's party had definitely lived up to the legendary expectations she had, Caroline hadn't laughed as hard as she had in years and she felt extremely comfortable and close with everyone in the room, Enzo in particular, seeing him reminiscing and bonding with his friend Damon was something Caroline loved to watch, she rarely seen that side of him.

Bonnie had passed out on the couch and stefan and Elena were all cuddled up gazing into each other's eyes as Caroline lay blissfully with her legs on top of Enzo's as he chatted to his friend on the chair nearby.

"Okay, I'm going to bed.. Spare room is down the hall.. Try to keep the noise down." Damon said pointing down the hall looking at the two of them suggestively for a beat before Enzo kicked him and he laughed and headed towards the stairs, stumbling a little in his drunk state.

"Think we're gonna hit the hey as well.. I'm exhausted." Elena said tiredly smiling at caroline before walking away towards the stairs with Stefan's arm wrapped around her.

"So looks like it's just me and you sweetheart." Enzo said softly and sweetly, he sounded tired too. Everyone was tired, they hadn't stopped all day.

Caroline's eyes felt heavy, her neck all of a sudden was having trouble supporting her head and she was about to fall asleep on the couch.

She looked up and met Enzo's sweet gaze. "I don't know if it's the day at the beach of the booze.. But I could really use that spare room right about now."

"As you wish my sweet." Enzo smiled at her before grabbing her under her legs with one hand and the other wrapped round her back and lifting her and walking in the direction of the bedroom. Caroline let out a small giggle but was too tired to play, she thought maybe both of them were as she noticed Enzo's sleepy eyes looking down to hers.

He put her down when they got into the room, it was pretty plain but beautiful and old fashioned like the rest of the house, a large dark wood bed sat in the middle of the room and Caroline headed right to it, taking off her dress as she walked leaving her in her underwear. Enzo watched her as he removed his jeans too, but the sexual tension wasn't there like it had been the other night, they were both just very comfortable with each other and very tired too.

"I don't have pjs" Caroline pouted playfully turning on her heel to face him.

He pulled his top over his head and readjusted his grip before sweeping it over Caroline's head making it fall over her body down to the top of her thighs. She giggled and placed her arms through the sleeves and looked up at him.

Enzo planted a kiss on her lips, he slowly placed his hands in her hair as she wrapped hers round his back pulling him close. His kiss was passionate and hot, but it was different from last night, slower and more passionate. When they kissed last night all the built tension was released all at once in their lips but this was slower, each of them taking their time to enjoy it without the burst of need.

In that moment nowhere to be found was snarky, sarcastic, cheeky Enzo, no sexual built up tension, no throwing the other against a wall or pulling of hair, this was real.

The two parted their lips, and looked at the other, he looked down at her with so much awe in his eyes as he grazed her cheek with his thumb.

"Let's get to bed" Enzo said in his low sleepy voice as he swept a hair away from Caroline's face.

When they had crawled into bed Caroline lay in the crook under enzos arm with her head on his shoulder and he lay on his back and pulled her in tight, this was becoming Caroline's favourite place in the world, she felt totally safe.

Enzo let out a big sigh as he relaxed on the bed, sleeping in other people's houses made him slightly nervous, keeping the night terrors under control was harder in an unfamiliar bed but pulled caroline tight and relaxed knowing she was next to him, he looked down at the blonde beauty below him and thought what had he done to get so lucky and met her, and what the hell would he have been doing if she hadn't wandered into his life all mini skirts and snarky comebacks.

"Thank you for a lovely day at the beach, Caroline." Enzo said in his low sleepy voice as he closed his eyes.

Caroline smiled to herself and and glanced up at him through her lashes, she could barely keep her eyes open she was so tired.

"Told you the beach is fun, still gonna get you back for throwing me in the ocean though." She said quietly her eyes also closed, though she was smiling ear to ear.

"Can't wait love." He growled.

Caroline got an uneasy feeling when he called her that, like it had happened before, you know that eerie feeling you get, never mind.. She was too tired to care, nuzzling herself closer to Enzo if it was even possible, Caroline drifted to sleep quickly, of of those fast sleeps that feels like your gone before your head hits the pillow.

XXXXXXXXXX

Caroline woke with a jolt.

She was confused for a moment and didn't know where she was, but soon realised and sat up on her elbows, Enzo was fast asleep with messy hair and pursed lips looking hot as all hell, she smiled to herself and realised she had woken because she was hungry.

Hopping out of bed caroline was on a mission to find a midnight snack, surely damon would have some blood knocking around here somewhere. Caroline walked along the hallway running her fingers along the wooden panels covering the walls, looking around she realised this really was a beautiful house.

The silent solitude of the house being asleep gave caroline a minute to herself to breath, everything had been so fast paced she felt like she hadn't had a moment to herself in weeks, so she sad down on a step on the edge of the living room, closed her eyes and took a deep breath. It's amazing how calming a little minute to yourself can be when you take a breath, sometimes it's what you need to just get everything in perspective and sort out your muddled brain. Caroline was happy, this new chapter of her life in which she was embarking upon was truly exciting and she felt good, considering how bleak her circumstances were a week ago, things were looking up.

Amidst her peaceful quiet time Caroline heard a stir in the room she had just left her sleepy guy, at first she thought he was turning in his sleep or something.

Caroline's head snapped round.

The sound that caroline then heard coming from the room she would never forget, never had she heard a noise that contained so much pain and hurt.

All she could hear was enzos deafening scream bellowing out from the slightly open door.

He screamed for it to stop, to please stop, and rambling screams with no words filled with heartbreaking agony.

"Enzo!?"
