Okay, so I just want to clear up any confusion that may be out there. Caroline KNOWS that Elena is a doppleganger. She is going to protect her in case anything or anyONE may come to harm her. Also Caroline is on a bunny diet because she wants to ground herself into MF before she rades the bloodbank. And another thing the curse is not broken yet. This is still within the first episodes of S1. So there ya go. Hope any confusion is cleared. :)
Chapter 5
English quickly became one of the most fun classes in school. Over the next few weeks Caroline became closer to all of her students. She remained close to Elena though, not only to ensure her protection, but because she simply needed someone. Her parents death was tragic and hoped Elena would let her in and help. Also she would protect Elena because she was a doppleganger. Caroline suspected as much, and in case anything unusual should happen, Elena was under Caroline's protection. She found out new things about each of her students. Matt Donavan was the quiet, sweet, honorable, football player who worked at the Mystic Grill, the local hangout spot in Mystic Falls. Bonnie was sweet and sort of the sense of reason in her friendships with Rebekah and Elena. Tyler was the Mayor's son, also on the football team, and class jerk. Quite the d-bag, but hopefully that would change. Rebekah was….Rebekah. She was the drama queen and had a sense of adventure. Caroline saw a lot of herself in Rebekah though. It seemed as if Rebekah was in a competition with Elena. Once Caroline overheard Rebekah having a conversation with Bonnie about Stefan. Rebekah liked him and Stefan turned him down for Elena. Rebekah dubbed herself as "never the one." 'Never the one,' that reminded Caroline of someone she knew. Second choice and never the one when it came to someones affections. Hopefully Rebekah would turn out better than she did.
Another thing she learnt about Rebekah was that her mother was the town sheriff. And she had heard rumors of bodies turning up in the forest outside of Mystic Falls, covered in blood with teeth marks on them. Somebody wasn't being discreet and Caroline had an idea of who it was. 'Just wait til I get home you black-haired, blue-eyed ba-' Caroline's thoughts were cut off by the bell ringing. As everyone gathered there books Caroline announced, "Okay everyone, before you head off into your weekend I want to remind you about the 3 -4 page paper I want on my desk Monday about your family's history in Mystic Falls. This may not be a history class, but it is essential to your grade none the less." The class let out a half-hearted "yay." "Oh I LOVE the enthusiasm here! Alright, enough torture you can all leave." As soon as the room was cleared, Caroline picked up her belongings and left the school. She had business to attend to.
She went straight into the woods when she got home, and not for a rabbit either. "Damon! Damon I know you're here I can hear you…Da-" Caroline heaved a sigh of frustration when the jerk finally appeared. "Miss me Blondie?" Damon smirked. "No. Actually I wanted to ask you something." "Ask away." "I want to know why you killed those people and then left them to rot outside of town." Damon looked at her and laid a hand on his check, faking being hurt, "Ah! Gosh Barbie, why would you accuse me of such a thing? I must say I'm quite insulted." Before he knew it Caroline used her Original speed and had him pinned to a tree. "STOP with these games and tell me!" He didn't answer, and Caroline was getting EXTREMELY annoyed. Banging his head against the tree, she screamed at him, "TELL ME!" "You know I could get used to this whole being pinned against you, it's quite invigorating." Caroline responded by punching him in the face, ready to hit him again Damon said "Okay, okay if I say 'yes' will you stop hitting me?" Caroline was taken aback. Part of her was hoping she was wrong about him, that he had a small amount of decency in him. Why? She'll never know. "So it's true. You did kill those people and left them there. You didn't even have the decency to bury them?" "Oh come on, as you said you've been around long enough, don't pretend like you've never done questionable in your existence." Then Caroline thought did she really have the right to judge this guy? She had done some things before, terrible things even…NO this is not about her. This is about Damon. "We are not talking about me, this about you and what YOU have done." Damon just stood there, staring at her. "So what are you going to do about it?" "Me? Oh I'm not doing anything about it." Caroline walked towards him, "I could expose you. To everyone." Damon walked forward, " Don't you remember that deal we made? I could tell the whole town about you. And then say that YOU left the bodies in the woods to rot. Way before you ever get to the Sheriff." Caroline walked forward to him "I dare you." Next thing Caroline knew she was in Damon's arms. He was kissing her. Hard. Caroline followed instinct and her arms went around his neck. Then reason started screaming in her ear. HOW DARE HE! Thankfully Caroline was stronger than him and shoved him off of her, causing him to fall flat on his back. "If you ever touch me again…I will not hesitate to kill you. Do you understand me." It wasn't a question, it was his only option. "Oh yeah." With that Caroline sped off to her house.
When she reached her house she locked the door behind her. Her unshed tears began streaming down her face. 'How dare he lay a finger on me. And kiss me. If I ever see him again..' thoughts were running through Caroline's mind. She was still processing what had just happened. Damon kissed her. She hadn't been kissed in a long, long time. Naturally her first response would be to put her arms around him for a moment. No man had even touched her in that way since..no NO NO NO NO NO this can't be happening. She doesn't miss him. She WON'T miss him. He probably thinks she is dead anyways. Her thoughts went back to Rebekah. How they were alike in so many ways. Second choice. Second best. Second everything. Never the one. Caroline has lived the past 500 years being reminded that she was second choice when it came to the love of her life. And that's what she would always be. Second. Not the one. And all Caroline could do was weep.
OKAY! So we have some Damon/Caroline drama in this chapter! I'm sorry if you hate me for it but I HAD to! i remembered the scene where Damon tries to kiss Elena in season one and she slaps him for it. So I threw a Caroline in there instead of Elena. Also we see that my "Rebekah" is in fact a copy of the REAL "Caroline" in the show. THat's why I compared them in this story. We also find that Caroline is insecure in this chapter. Alot like the "real" one. So please REVIEW and leave me any ideas you may have and give me some constructive criticism as well! Thank you :)
