Do not own Pride and Prejudice.

Thanks for the persuasion! I will get back to normally writing this story in a few weeks or so. School has just started two days ago and I already have projects to complete! I just want to write this chapter because I had an idea. Please excuse my mistakes, I am on medication...you finally get to figure out Caroline's master plan!

Elizabeth Bennet-Longbourne

She woke up fully rested and ready to be outside with the morning sun. She quickly dressed and made her way downstairs. Her family was just starting to wake up and they all startled when she came in with a bright smile on her face. She quickly sat down and tried not to wince at her aching foot. Her twisted ankle was healing and only hurt a bit when she walked on it.

"Lizzie, are you sure you should be up? You were sick-" Mary was interrupted, "And now I am better!" She had said as she smiled again and looked towards a smiling Lydia who was using her utensils and talking quietly to Kitty. "Lizzie, you must not get sick again!" Mrs Bennet said nervously as she placed a blanket over her shoulders. Lizzie laughed and looked around the table. Jane was looking out the window at something, Mary was looking at her nervously and Kitty and Lydia were quietly talking at the other end of the table with a book hidden under the tablecloth. Her father was looking at Lydia and Jane in confusion and her mother was fussing over her health.

"We are to have a visitor." Mr. Bennet suddenly said. The women all looked at him and he went on, "A Mr. Collins, he is your cousin who will inherit Longbourne upon my demise." The women all gasped and frantically asked when. "Two days time."

Mrs. Bennet gasped and quickly started to become frantic. "Two days time! But we will be receiving the Netherfield group today for dinner and I haven't prepared for a Mr. Collins! Oh, Mr. Bennet you must tell him not to come!" He sighed and replied, "He is already on his way."

Caroline Bingley-Netherfield

Caroline Bingley finished her letter under a fake name and sent it away. She had been in contact with a pathetic fool named George Wickham. She had bought his way into the militia and told him to travel to Meryton..."Caroline!" Her brother called at the door interrupting her thoughts. She quickly straightened her dress and with a huff she replied, "Enter Charles."

"Caroline, I am going to Mrs. Bennet's dinner party will you be joining?" Her overly enthusiastic brother asked with a smile as he righted his cuff links.

"Charles, you know I try not to associate myself with people of the..." She then lowered her voice,"lower class." At this, Charles laughed and reminded Caroline about their past dealings with trade. Caroline pouted and made an excuse saying she had a headache.

As she walked towards the room on the far end of the house she heard Mr. Darcy and her brother speaking in the distance,"So, she is not coming?" "No, apparently she has a headache." "Oh happy day! No offense Bingley, but that women clings to me like a bloodsucking leech!" She gasped. What was in the air! Why would Mr Darcy say such a thing! She quickly padded back to her room. She looked at her writing desk and thought about her plan.

She had met Wickham through her maid. When her family had journeyed to Africa she had brought along her new maid, Rose. She hated travelling in boats and was always bored. One day, while on the deck she saw Rose and a man hugging. She had rushed to her maid's side and pulled them apart. "Rose, what are you doing?" The couple had looked shocked. Rose had stuttered out, "M-my fiance Ms. Bingley. George Wickham." She then had smiled the brightest smile Caroline had ever seen. She then made pleasant conversation with the man and soon she found out he used to live in Derbyshire. Darcy lives in Derbyshire, she had thought. Then she asked Mr. Wickham if he knew Darcy. He had looked sad for moments but answered in the positive. She then devised a plan to capture Mr. Darcy. She had only known Mr. Darcy through her brother when he had come back to visit for their last year of Cambridge together. She had set her cap at him when she found out about his high social standing and his 10,000 a year.

Thinking back now, her plan had failed. The Darcy's were excellent in hiding scandals and avoiding them. She had found out that George Wickham had asked for the cost of his living which was given to him upon George Darcy's death. He didn't want to spend his life in the church he wanted to invent new gadgets that could make everyday life easier. But upon receiving his payment he was accosted by robbers and they stripped him of his belongings. She had received all this information from her maid. Rose, oh she wondered where the girl was now.

Upon meeting Wickham the next day she had already planned his story and what he would do, he had agreed. She had bribed him with 200 pounds and another 200 on completion of the plan. And so, he had seduced Miss Georgiana Darcy upon their return to London. And Rose had run away when she found out. The pathetic fool was only doing it so he could have money for him and his bride to live comfortably in the country, what a fool! They had never found Rose and Wickham was still looking for 'his love'. The only reason he was doing this task was to have money to find Rose. She had thought that when news of Georgiana Darcy's defilement, all the women from the ton would turn away form Darcy and then he would be hers. No one would want to be apart of a ruined family, but she would, all the money, Pemberley, and a house in town! But that plan failed, now she had a new one, no women would get near her men. Caroline yawned and lay her head on the bed, she soon fell asleep.

George Wickham-In a Pub

"A letter for you, Sir." A maid said as she brought him the familiar white sheet. He sighed and put away his beloved's lock of beautiful brown hair. Opening the letter he paled. No, I cannot do this again! I have lost so many people. William, and Rose. The letter read "Complete the act. You must compromise the youngest Bennet." No! He had already spread the lies about his only friend. "Tell the town about Darcy withholding your living and making you poor. If you are introduced to the Bennet family tell only the second daughter the story." Was the letter he was sent about two months ago. He hated being the person Caroline Bingley had told him to be, he had to be the villain. The scum who defiled daughters, stole, and gambled. At least now he had a place in the militia and some pounds from the witch.

He sighed and stumbled his way through the pub. Outside the cold air hit his face like a million glass shards, he shivered. He was a fool, a lying fool. He walked slowly towards where the militia were stationed and looked for his tent number. Lying down on the hard cot he cried a silent a tear for his beloved. What would she think of me now? Where is she? Oh Rose, where are you?

He coughed and composed himself, he went over the story. I used to live in Pemberley and my father worked for George Darcy who was my Godfather and he had left me a living in the church upon his death. William Darcy was my best friend. All this was true, William Darcy was jealous of his father's relationship with me, the steward's son, that was a lie, they used to be like brothers. William Darcy withheld the living I was supposed to receive from his father, that was also a lie. He quickly took out the key to open his box and put the money from the day's work safely inside. He had had enough with stealing.

Just a short chapter to not feel as if I have neglected things. I must get back to my work now. You will most likely hear from me in a couple of weeks. I am sorry. And I would like to thank everyone for persuading me to continue. You are all wonderful. Next is the dinner party and Lizzie speaks to her 'hero' and Darcy. Tell me what you all think! Review!

I hate doing this because I know you are all intelligent. But basically this is what happens. You know all the bad stuff? The Georgiana thing, the gambling away the money, the "Sob Story" that Elizabeth is led to believe? Well, basically Caroline makes Wickham out to be the villain by bribing him and he accepts because he needs money to find his beloved, which is Rose. Caroline only does this in hopes of securing Darcy for herself. In this story, George Wickham is technically not a bad guy, just a fool. When he first agrees to work with her, he only wants the money because he needs it to live a comfortable life with Rose. The money he received from Darcy was robbed and he was poor when he met Caroline.
