Elena
"Oh No." I mutter under my breath as I see my best friend blood soaked on the stage.
"Who did this." She questions daggers in her eyes. Everyone begins to laugh and all I want to do is help her but Katherine wouldn't do that.
"Oh, you think this is funny?" She yells over the laughter which just causes everyone to laugh harder. Klaus seems either shocked, trying to remain calm, or maybe both. Still, I have a feeling by the end of the night one of them is going to end up covered in even more blood.
"It is pretty funny." Kol says from beside me. Bonnie hits him in the shoulder hard, but it does little to affect him.
Caroline takes a deep breath as if to remind herself she is in public. "Whoever did this better fess up now, or I swear I will-"
"You'll what start throwing stuff around?" A girl who I recognize from cheerleading yells out from across the gym. Everyone laughs again and I can see Caroline slowly moving farther from her humanity. Someone needs to get her out of here. I look for Damon in the crowd, he is probably the only person who would help if asked by Katherine or me.
I find him in the back of the gym wearing an expression caught between a smile and something I can't place. I make my way over, and he seems surprised when I grab his arm.
"Go help Caroline. Now." I say deciding to keep up the Katherine thing.
"Your getting better at impersonating her. Not sure if I should be scared or proud." He says with that stupidly gorgeous smirk.
So he knows. Interesting.
"Damon, Please. Just go do something. For me or Katherine or Caroline. She doesn't deserve this." I say not even acknowledging the switch.
"Elena, I can't." He responds.
"This is the last time I'm going to ask. Who did this!" I hear Caroline yell. I glance towards the stage and she is the perfect image of Carrie. Her beautiful white dress is layered with blood, her blonde strands that were once curled now dead straight with blood keeping them pressed against her face. The look on her face proves that if she had any kind of telekinetic powers people would be flying right now.
I look back to Damon pleading him with my eyes. "If you don't help her I swear, this is it for us. Please." I say. He sighs and I think I see a glimpse of sympathy.
"Elena, I'm sorry, I can't." He says and with that he walks away. I stare at the space where he once stood in disbelief.
I then notice Elijah across the gym, head in hands. I practically run over to him.
"Elijah. " I say, just as Caroline throws her crown at someone with a lot more force than any human has. I fear that the next thing she does will cause a lot more damage. Elijah looks up and he looks just as worried as me.
"Elijah"I repeat, and before I can beg him to go do something Katherine or should I say 'Elena' comes walking over, and grabs my arm.
"Katherine, we need to talk." She says in her me voice. She drags me to the side of the gym and quickly says, "You are me until the moment you leave this school, understood"
She is gone before I can reply and I look up to the stage and see Stefan climbing onto the stage Headed towards Caroline.
Thank god for Stefan Salvatore.
Stefan
"Care Stop." I say, climbing up to the stage. I know that with one more comment Caroline will probably start ripping people's heads off and as her friend I cant let that happen.
I grab her hand gently and she yanks it away. "Stefan, I can handle myself."
I back away for a second and look to Klaus. I'm surprised there has been no outburst from him. He has not said one word. It worries me much more.
I catch Lexi's eye in the crowd and she signals for me to do something. I nod. I don't even let myself think before I grab Caroline and throw her over my shoulder, walking her out of the gym as fast as possible. I find Alaric's classroom and enter it, closing and locking the door behind us.
"Put me down." She says her voice calm. I gently place her down and wait for her to try and run to the door. But she doesn't. She sits down in Ric's chair and begins to cry.
I'm not sure exactly what to do. I just want to make her stop. Get her to laugh.
"Come over here." I say. She gets up and walks over to me, wiping at her tears. I wrap her into a hug and it's only at that moment that the cravings begin to creep in. She is covered in blood. And by the smell of it, it's not pig blood. This leads me to the assumption that whoever did this probably wasn't just another cheerleader. I don't tell her this though.
I have to focus intently on remaining calm and fight against my vampire urges. Caroline must feel me tense up, because she pull away.
"Are you okay?" She questions. Only Caroline would ask if I'm okay after being traumatized in front of the whole school. I can't help but crack a smile.
"Are YOU okay?" I say, raising an eyebrow. She nods and then seems to change her mind.
"I just don't get why someone would do this. Who could be so mean?" She says her voice low.
"Katherine, Kol, Damon, Rebekah, the girls on the cheerleading team, the guys on the football team, even the kids in the chess club. Let's face it, the people of Mystical Falls aren't exactly known for their kindness" I reply attempting a joke.
She smiles very weakly wiping away more tears, "My life is ruined" she decides with a sigh
"Your life isn't ruined Caroline, your still that beautiful girl who walked in here tonight and threw an outstanding home coming. Just because some jerks pulled a stupid prank like this doesn't mean your life is ruined, if anything they're the ones at lost here, because anyone who could find amusement in such a sick joke will never be half as amazing as you are" I say wiping away her remaining tears giving her a reassuring smile.
She throws her arms around me once again and it takes all my strength to return the hug and remain calm rather then attacking her right then and there and draining her of all her blood. "I'm sorry" she says quietly still not pulling away.
"Why?" I ask confused
"For being so dramatic, your right. I mean, I'm a vampire for gods sake! Some stupid joke at some stupid dance shouldn't faze me! I have an eternity I could go to a thousand more dances and homecomings, and a hundred years from now looking back I probably won't even remember this! So why do I feel like this? Why do I feel like this is the end of the world? Why do I feel so humiliated, so stupid, so pathetic? Why do I feel like I'd rather die than walk back onto that stage. Why do I hate that I let this happen, that I didn't expect something like this? Why do I feel like I hate everyone including myself right now? What's wrong with me Stefan?" She says her voice shaking.
I can feel tears rolling down her face landing on my jacket. All of the sudden I feel so bad for her that the need to make her feel better over powers everything else and the cravings seem to disappear.
"Caroline Forbes there is absolutely nothing wrong with you. Those feelings you have right now that's your humanity. The fact that your still here dealing with all of those emotions instead of shutting them off like so many others do just shows how strong you are. I admire you so much Caroline, and no matter what happens when you walk back out there you'll still be better then all those people who thought this was funny, and, no matter what, I'm going to be here for you. I promise, when we find out who did this I'll make sure they get what they deserve" I say meaning every word.
She pulls away wiping the last of her tears, "Thank you Stefan, I don't know what I'd do without you. And for the record, you are easily the most amazing person I know, and when I walk back on that stage the only thing that's going to keep me from breaking down or killing everybody is the fact that I have someone like you in my life" I smile softly at this and find myself gazing into her eyes wishing more than anything right now that I could tell her how much I actually care about her, how long I've been in love with her.
I don't know how or when it happened but all of the sudden we're both leaning in. Her lips are only an inch away from mine when suddenly she freezes. I want more than anything to close the gap between us, but I won't be the one to take that first step if she's not ready. A few moments of silence go by and I swear it's so quiet I can hear my undead heart beating. Finally, Caroline leans foreward again, kissing me on the cheek, before pulling away again, "Thank you Stefan"
I try to hide my disappointment as i simply reply, "Right, well you should probably know I'm not as great as you think I am Care"
"And why is that?" She replies looking at me as if she doesn't believe a word I just said.
"To be perfectly honestly, Ive been fighting the urge to eat you since the moment we stepped into this room" I admit
She looks very confused at first but then the realization hits her, "Oh my god Stefan, I'm so sorry, I forgot about the blood! I must look like a walking buffet to you right now" she says. I see a slight amount of her guilt in her eyes so I try and down play the situation.
"Like a walking dessert table while I'm on a sugar free diet" I say with a smile in a teasing manner.
She looks at me seriously for a second before bursting into laughter. "I'm sorry" she says shaking her head, trying to stop but failing.
"And am I the only one who noticed the giant whole in the wall?" I add
Caroline turns to see the giant hole in the back wall of Ric's classroom which was certainly not there today during class. She look as if she just remembered something and begins to laugh harder shaking her head in disbelief.
"Alaric's definitely not going to like that" she decides and I nod in agreement, laughing along with her. Once again our eyes become locked together and it becomes apparent how close she is standing to me, but before anything else can happen we are interrupted.
"Caroline, are you alright?" I turn to see Bonnie burst through the door immediately pulling Caroline into a hug, "Whoever did this is disturbed, I'm so sorry" she adds
"Its okay Bonnie, I'm fine" she says pulling away giving her a reassuring smile.
Bonnie is obviously surprised by how calm Caroline is and shoots me a thankful look mouthing 'good job'. "That's good Care. I'm so sorry, I would have been here sooner, but you see, Klaus is well...I think it's better you see for yourself"
Klaus
"I will kill each and every one of you until the idiot who did this fesses up." I yell, storming down the steps. Its been so long since I felt such rage. Not only did they hurt me in doing this, but they hurt her. And I will make them pay for that.
The whole gym is silent. All I want to do at the moment is rip off somebodies head. Sadly, that may expose the supernatural world.
"Anybody?" I shout, loving that I'm back in control. There are a few hushed whispers of 'It wasn't me' or 'He's crazy'.
"Fine. That's how we're going to play."
I slam the nearest door shut and break off the handle, leaving it useless. I throw the handle to the floor, and then proceed to do this to the remaining doors.
"Now, nobody leaves until I have a name. Perhaps if somebody admits to this now, their death will be less painful."
I see panic beginning to fill peoples eyes. The few chaperones that once watched over the kids seem to have disappeared, probably to get help. I notice Kol whispering something that I miss to a cheerleader who giggles.
"Something funny brother?" I ask walking over to him. He smiles in response.
"Well, I was just telling Taylor here that Carrie happened to go slamming doors close in a matter of locking everyone into the gym. Next thing you know, you'll have the whole school up in flames." my dear brother explains. The gym begins to fill with laughter again.
"Funny. Well then you can be my first victim." I respond before snapping his neck. I don't realize exactly what I've done until people begin to scream and run for the doors that are all going to do little to let them out.
But I'm too angry to care at the moment.
I prepare to continue the threats when I feel a hand on my shoulder.
"Niklaus, are you insane." Elijah whispers as if people would hear him over their own screaming.
"Maybe." I respond before pushing him away and walking back onto the stage.
"Stop screaming!" I yell into the microphone. Some people turn back to me while others desperately try to escape. All four exits have been locked, the two side doors that lead into the hallways, and the doors that lead outside. That's when I spot her.
I skip the stairs part and jump off the stage,heading straight for Katherine Pierce. I push her against the wall and over all the commotion whisper "This was your way of getting back at me wasn't it. Funny. But it will be funnier when I rip out your intestines."
"Klaus this wasn't me." She responds, frantically trying to esacape my grip.
I slam her against the wall harder than before. "Admit it. Your the person in this room that hates me most. You know that Caroline was your easiest way to get back at me. I couldn't care less that you dumped blood on me, but her. You're the only person here who is twisted enough to drag Caroline into all of this, and I will make you pay for that." I say my voice getting higher and higher as the anger becomes less controllable. I throw her across the room and her head slams against the wall. I make my way over to her, but before I can inflict more pain Elijah steps in front of her.
"Niklaus, that is enough." He says his voice as relaxed as ever. I push him to the side with just enough force and pick Katherine up off the floor, prepared to finally end her sorry life, but Elijah tackles me the floor holding me down.
"I said enough." He says with firm persistence.
"You dare side with her, after all she has put us through." I growl trying to push him off of me but failing.
"You're not being rational right now Niklaus, and I refuse to let you do something that you will end up regretting." He replies calmly.
"I'll regret nothing." I say before throwing Elijah off of me. I spot a nearby chair made of wood and break it with ease, picking up one of the legs. I walk over to Katherine who lays pressed against the wall, and bend down.
"Good bye Katerina." I whisper.
"Klaus stop!" I hear her yell just before the stake makes contact with Katherines heart. I look up to see Caroline. Her eyes are red from crying, and the blood on her dress dried. I drop the stake and snap Katherine's neck.
"It's not worth it" Caroline says stepping closer to me.
"We're leaving, you should go too" Stefan adds.
I turn around looking at all the destruction I have cause. Every single person in the room screaming, pounding on the doors, frantically calling out for help. Still, one look at Caroline and I regret none of it.
"Stefan's right Niklaus, go" Elijah says, "I'll take care of this"
Damon
"You got the video didn't you?" Katherine asks a wide smile on her face as we walk in the parking lot, heading to my car. If anyone saw the two of us they would see Damon Salvatore walking with his girlfriend Elena Gilbert, heading home from the dance early. If only they knew.
"Of course" I say with a confident smirk.
Katherine laughs evilly bumping into me playfully before saying, "I wish I could have seen his expression myself, but I guess we all have to make sacrifices for the greater good"
I just smile in response deciding not to point out her definition of "the greater good" was very different from most. We reach my car and I open the passenger door for her and she smiles in response still chuckling softly. I'm about to enter myself but just then a thought occurs to me.
"I'll be right back, I left something in Ric's classroom" I explain
Her laughter had died down and after my announcement she looks out the car window before saying, "hurry, the whole point of leaving early was to avoid all the raging Klaus drama"
"Back in a Flash" I promise
I walk through the empty silent halls of Mystic Falls High, not rushing nearly as much as I should be. Only a vampire like myself could here the frightened screams coming from the gym where Klaus is teaching the student body a lesson they won't soon forget. When I arrive at the door of Alaric's classroom I don't notice anybody is inside until my hand is on the door knob.
"Why do I feel like I'd rather die than walk back on to that stage? Why do I hate that I let this happen, that I didn't expect something like this? Why do I feel like I hate everyone including myself right now? What's wrong with me Stefan?"
I immediately recognize the voice as Caroline and by the tone of her voice it's obvious she's in tears. All of the sudden I'm hit with a mixture of guilt and regret. Hearing her so destroyed over what just happened leads me to consider for the first time that maybe Caroline didn't deserve this. I'm standing there contemplating if there's anything I could do to fix this when suddenly I hear someone's footsteps. Without giving it a second thought I flash out of the halls
-TVD-
"Want me to get that?" Katherine asks
It was the first thing said between either of us since we left the school. My phone had buzzed and I chose to ignore it since I was driving and whatnot. Still, I accept her offer replying with a nod and Katherine picks up my phone reading the text out loud
"Its from Stefan. Damon, you and Elena got out just in time. Klaus went nuts, locked everyone in the gym, snapped Kol's neck, and was seconds away from killing Katherine. I'm taking Care home now, watch your back, Klaus has no idea who did this, and I'm Sure your a suspect." She reads in a terrible impression of Stefan's voice.
The moment she gets to the part about Klaus almost killing Katherine she begins to laugh as if it's the funniest thing she has heard during her 500 years of life. I shoot her a look and she shrugs.
"Poor Klaus. Finally came close to killing me and it wasn't even me!" She says with a satisfied sigh.
"This isn't funny Katherine, Elena probably got hurt. How did you even talk Elena into switching places?" I question keeping my eyes locked on the road, but not before catching a glimpse of Katherine responding to Stefan's text.
"I have my ways." She responds simply before putting my phone down.
I drive the rest of the way in silence and when I pull into her driveway I get out of the car and walk her to the doorstep. It should be Elena is all I can think.
"Thanks for the ride, partner in crime. " She says with a smirk. She's about to go inside but I stop her.
"Katherine, I'm starting to think this whole thing was a bad idea. Elena would-" I start but before I can continue Katherine grabs me and pulls me into a deep kiss. I quickly push her away. I'm about to question her sanity but she puts a finger to my lips.
"Don't go soft on me Damon. And if Elena is the issue, well let me just tell you she isn't as innocent as you think." She explains before pulling out her phone. She clicks a few times before turning and showing me the screen.
I grab the phone out of her hand to take a closer look. "No." I say shaking my head.
"Guess you precious girlfriend isn't who you thought she was." She says seemingly enjoying this too much.
I'm filled with anger, and before I know what I'm doing I grab Katherine and kiss her.
This time, after a few moments she pulls away. "I'm not going to be your rebound. If you want that, I suggest you call Rebecka." She shoots me one last smirk and before going inside says,
"Sweet dreams."
3rd Person
"Again!" Rebekah said in between laughs. Enzo restarted the video, and they waited in anticipation.
When the blood dumped on Klaus and Caroline they erupted in laughter for the billionth time that night.
Rebekah sighed and couldn't remember being this happy for a while. She turned to Enzo and when their eyes meet she gave him a knowing look.
He smiled in response and replayed the video.
Right before the big blood dump, the door slammed shut and they both jumped when they saw Klaus standing there covered in blood.
They tried to act casual but just then the scene played where the blood dropped, and they couldn't hold in the laughter.
Klaus walked over, snatched the phone out of Enzo's hand and crushed it before tossing it at Rebekah.
"Sorry, Nik." Rebekah whispered, sharing a smile with Enzo.
Klaus was about to go to his room, when Mikael came down the stairs. The whole room went silent, until Mikael burst into laughter. Klaus glared at his father, correction step father, and without saying a word turned and left.
