Caroline's POV on Wednesday:

Ellie hasn't been to school in two days. Whats wrong? My mom did say she was working on a vampire murder case. The paper said it was a girl named Jenna Somme rs. Maybe it was Elena, too! I gasped out loud at the thought, earning a few stares from students. No. No. No. I rebuke the thought in the name of Klaus, the maker of my bloodline.

I decided to stop thinking of the possibilities. She was becoming my best friend! She can't be dead already! Maybe she isn't de- OH! There's Ty!

I walked over to my boyfriend at his locker.

"Hey Babe," he greeted and kissed me.

"Hi!" I began, "Have you seen Elena lately?"

"Not since Monday, but I hear-" he was cut off by the eerie silence of the students around us.

We followed their gazes to the entrance of the school. There stood Elena. I wondered why everyone was staring at her. She noticed too, but she walked quietly to the end of the hall and made a left.

"See you at lunch?" I said to Tyler, but looking at Elena.

"Sure."

I left him and followed Elena. I followed her until she went out the doors to The Stoner Circle, then I used my vampire speed-y thing to get behind her and tap her shoulder. She jumped and turned around.

"Caroline! What are you doing?!" she half shouted at me.

"I followed you so I could see whats up...you haven't been to school in two days, Elena!" I said.

I could see and smell the tears welling in her eyes as she stumbled out her next words.

"I-M-my Aunt Jenna was attacked by an animal on her morning jog, her body was found yesterday. She is being cremated today."

I hugged her for a bit before I pulled back.

"Its going to be all right," I was quite satisfied when her pupils dilated and she repeated what I said.

"You will be strong for your brother and take care of him," I said, remembering the brother she told me about.

"I will be strong and take of my brother," she repeated.

"You will not remember this compulsion," I quickly added.

"Nope."

"Ellie, would you like to skip school and try to find evidence to Jenna's attack?" I asked and her pupils went back to normal and she nodded.

We walked to the woods where the body was found and saw blood as well as police tape surrounding the spot.

"Lets look more from where she came," Elena suggested.

The wind blew and I could sense somethings presence. I could feel my canines growing as I pushed Elena behind me and growled.

"Come forward," I spoke, but heard nothing, "Come forward!' I said again but sterner.

A chuckle sounded from the woods to my left.

"Aw, little Carolina trying to be brave?" Kol Michealson appeared.

I growled again, "Why are you here?" I asked.

"Malibu doesn't think I feel remorse?"

"You killed Jenna?" I asked shocked.

"The runners are the best kind," he smirked. He then looked at Elena and his smile faded.

"Tatia?" He took a step forward and Elena rushed back and fell. On her way down, she cut her arm.

I turned around and closed my eyes, I could feel my human side slipping as my vampire one told me to feed. I ignored it and opened my eyes. I knelt in front of her. I bit my arm and put it to her mouth. She struggled, but enough of my blood got in her system. I turned to see Kol standing closer to me.

"She isn't Tatia, is she?" He said, sounding like he wanted to convince himself.

"No, her name is Elena." I said as I tried to pull the White Oak stake from my bag without him noticing. When I accidentally dropped it, his eyes snapped to me. He then sped forward and grabbed Elena by the neck.

"Touch the stake and she dies." he said holding his finger nail at her throat, I assume to slit it.

"No, please don't," Elena whimpered and tried to get loose, but he held her waist firmly.

"Kill her and you will be gone. Forever," I said, kinda lamely I may add.

"Ha! You? Going to kill me? An Original," he chuckled cockily.

"Well, maybe with White Oak," I said with the same attitude as him.

"We rid the town of White Oak when we burnt the bridge!" he yelled, scaring Elena and she squirmed again.

"You forgot the sign," I winked.

In a fit of rage he snapped her neck and let her fall to the ground.

"No," I cried out, "Why?" is all I got out before he snapped my neck as well.

When I woke up, I groaned and rolled over. There was Elena and the stake was gone. I groaned. How am I to tell Damon and Stefan that the new girl is a vampire. Ugh. Sad face. I finally stood up and picked the leaves out of my hair. I got my phone out and scrolled through the contacts. Stefan.Well I have to tell him sometime. I tapped on his name and put the phone to my ear.

"Hello, Carol of the bells!" Stefan answered excitedly, oblivious to the current situation.

"Stefan," I said seriously, "I need you."

Sensing the seriousness in my voice, he replied, "Where are you?"

"The crime scene in the woods, you'll smell the blood," I answered.

"Ill be there in 3."

"Okay," I said as i hung up the phone.

As I hung up, I heard a stirring. I looked at Elena. She was sitting up. Her eyes snapping open, her hands going to her head, as she screamed and backed up to a tree. I knelt down and put my hands on her knees. She looked at me scared, tears streaming down her face, her veins popping out from all the nearby blood. She was terrified and she didn't know how to control it.

"Elena," she squirmed and whimpered, "Elena," I said again, "Listen to me!"

Gradually she stopped squirming but still held her ears closed.

I told her calmly, "Listen to my voice, and only my voice. Breathe through your mouth and close your eyes."

She did what I told her and the veins slowly retreated from under her eyes as she took her hands off her ears.

"Caroline?" she asked.

Right then I smelled Stefan walk up.

"Is she?" he asked.

"Yes," I replied, "She needs blood or she`ll die."

He nodded knowingly, "We wont let her die...ever."
