Chapter 12

A/N: This is an AU story for the vampire diaries. I do not own the vampire dairies.

So guys I have decided to have both Elena and Katherine in the story. Elena because Caroline and Elena I think need more of a confrontation since Caroline has always felt second best to Elena or always in shadow. Katherine because I do like her, she is a bad ass character and Caroline does have a one or two things against her. Elena will be in this chapter but not Katherine, Elena is only here to check up on her friend being worried. At the very least I should try to have Katherine in the next one. But I haven't decided whether I should keep Katherine a vampire or have her be mortal. So far I got a few votes for Elejah and a couple for Kalijah. Still haven't decided yet also again with Katherine being human or not. Anyway here is the next chapter.

Caroline sat at the table, she hadn't stopped thinking about what Klaus had said last night. Klaus didn't seem to pity her like the others had. He was more concerned with her, he actually seemed to care about her. She walked downstairs only to find that she wasn't alone. She flashed over to the figure and let her fangs drop. She growled and looked at her.

"Caroline, it's me." She said. Caroline sighed and let go of her. Elena turned to her as she walked away.

"Why are you here Elena?" She said with no emotion.

"I came here to see how you were doing." She said.

"Well I am great, glad you stopped by." Caroline said sarcastically.

"Caroline-

"Really you have now starting to care about your friends Elena. Go back to Mystic Falls Elena." She said leaning back against the counter in the kitchen. Elijah walked into the room with Klaus.

"It seems- Elijah stopped and looked to Elena. "Elena?" Klaus stared at the doppelganger irritably. He never did like her much and grabbed a blood bag from the fridge to drink.

"Hi,
Elijah." She said. Caroline rolled her eyes.

"Come to damn more men I see." Caroline retorted. Elena turned to glare at her friend. Elijah sighed.

"Well Elena it is nice to see you but we have business to attend to with the Barghest." Elena stared at him like he wasn't speaking English.

"A what?"

"A supernatural dog that tears people to shreds. Sophie has seemed to track it to the cemetery where Niklaus had been attacked. It's an alpha as well." Caroline sighed and turned to the cabinet grabbing the salt and tossing it to Elijah remembering how Klaus had said that was required. Elena looked at them.

"Looks like we're going hunting," Klaus mused.

"I'll come too." Elena said. Caroline glared at her.

"We don't need you, you can go home." Elijah sighed.

"There is no reason to be rude Caroline. She is your friend after all. Can we all try to get along?" He said walking out the door with Elena right behind him. Klaus and Caroline glanced at one another before following Elijah.

Klaus and Caroline entered the cemetery while Elijah and Elena had decided to go in from the other entrance to corner the Barghest. Caroline walked into the cemetery as Klaus led the way.

"So have you killed an alpha Barghest?" Caroline asked.

"Once, it was when I had killed the others. They had been a pack. But barghest's aren't really that strong unless there an alpha. They are more of a descendant of werewolves. And they weren't really just born they were created by witches. But Barghest's could mate and have descendants of their own. Barghest only come out a night that's the difference between werewolves. They come out during a full moon while the barghest go out every night uncontrolled. But sometimes depending on what they do, they can be control by a witch. The witch can be like there master if you will. But Barghest also has a human side that makes them hard to find because they walk out in the day."

"Like you and your family when they were turned?" Klaus shrugged.

"Probably,"

"Where were you? It doesn't sound like you could have been in Mystic Falls really when this happened." He nodded.

"I was in Europe, England really. It was 1312 I think and I had been hunting with a friend of mine Alistair. Who is a vampire. He had enjoyed his early life of hunting. Alistair and I split up and I came across the pack in the evening of the dark. They had already transformed. I had been able to kill all the others but the alpha and I were still in midst of battle. I didn't need the salt but I was able to burn its body. The point of the salt is so that the spirit dies along with it and can't possess another body of its own. It's supernatural and that's the only way to kill it." Klaus explained. They suddenly heard a howl. Klaus moved them behind an old shed. He could now see them, there were two of them. It seemed that there were more and he was starting to wonder if perhaps someone was re-creating them. He could see Elijah there nodding his head to one of the barghest's. Klaus nodded knowing that, that one was the alpha. It was probably better that Klaus faced the alpha seeing how he is part werewolf. Klaus moved to sneak around while Caroline stayed where she was. On the other hand though she stopped when she heard growling. She turned around to find a barghest right in front of her. It seemed that this one was a third and now one of the two. Caroline glared at the creature and swung to strike her hand in it's heart to no avail. Klaus had said that the ones that weren't hybrids were the easiest to kill. Maybe it was because she was a baby vampire. The barghest's tried to nip at her and she had to kick it to the side. She grabbed the piece of wood on the shed and ripped it off trying to strike for the barhest. But it only bit the wood and broke instantly in it's teeth. She backed away trying to think of an idea. The barghest lunged for her and she fell to the ground on her back with a thud. The big looking black dog on top of her growling. She swallowed hard and could only stare at its large teeth. In the next second the barghest was thrown off her and she found Klaus with matches. He lit on and threw it at the creature before it lit on fire instantly and burn to nothing as Klaus helped her up.

"I thought you said they were easy to kill?" She said. He nodded and shook his head in confusion.

"They were, they have never been this strong. I had to lift more than a finger to just kill the alpha this time." Klaus explained. Elijah came over.

"Obviously something else is going on here, and I don't think it's Marcel." Elijah said. Elijah and Klaus went to dispose of the bodies while Elena and Caroline stayed put. Caroline leaned against the shed with her arms folded across her chest.

"Caroline," Caroline glanced at Elena.

"What do you want Elena?" Elena shook her head.

"Caroline I know you have your humanity but you don't have to be so cold to me." Elena said. Caroline turned to her with almost rage stirring in her blue green eyes.

"Ah yeah, Elena do you have any idea what my life has been like because of your decisions." She said. Elena looked at her confused. "I mean seriously Elena everything always has to be about you and again it's getting kind of old. Bonnie is dead because of you, Bonnie's mom was turned into a vampire because we had to save you. Even when you had your humanity off it was all about you. Its always been about you Elena. Everyone seems to have to bend over backwards for you. Don't you get tired of screwing with men's heads. Do you like the power of basically being a siren?" Caroline purred.

"Shut up," Elena said she was starting to get angry.

"Make me," Caroline hissed with a smirk. Caroline moved at Elena and grabbed her by the hair and shoved her into the shed so hard that it broke down the wall Caroline smirked and Elena got up trying to control herself.

"God Caroline stop!" She yelled. Caroline kicked her in the abdomen and Elena grunted. "Come on Caroline we both know this isn't you." Caroline gave her a look.

"I think this is exactly who I am meant to be. If anything you're not really yourself. I love Damon you're so fickle making both Stefan and Damon fall in love with you. And I still can't believe after everything you slept with Damon. Damon of all people." Elena glared at her.

"Oh I see this is coming from the girl that practically jumped into bed with him." That did it and Caroline was shoving her to the ground. Elena now realized when she had humanity turned off Caroline had her feelings on and had been holding back. Caroline really was a good fighter even remembering her taking on Damon to save her father. Caroline shoved her to the ground and before Elena could do anything Caroline shoved her hand into her chest ready to take her heart from her chest. In the next second though Elijah and Klaus pulled her off Elena. Klaus though didn't really mind the thought of Caroline killing the doppelganger.

"Enough," Elijah said looking at Caroline who was now struggling in Klaus's arm trying to get free once again to end Elena.

"Elijah I think you should get the doppelganger out of here. Because I really don't care what happens to her." Klaus said. Elijah sighed and grabbed Elena before flashing off. Caroline shoved him off her before going back to the mansion with Klaus. She ignored Klaus and went straight to her room while Klaus remained in the living room rethinking about the night.

Caroline had just finished a shower and was now in sweats and a tee shirt when she jumped and saw Damon.

"Damon what the hell, are you doing here? If you're looking for Elena she went with Elijah somewhere." She said pulling back the covers on her bed. She was thinking about going to bed early.

"I want the cure," He said.

"Well like I said I don't have it and I don't know where it is." She said. She turned around and he was right in front of her. When she looked into his eyes she didn't see the man whore that she had always seen just the annoying part of himself. When she looked into his eyes she something dark truly evil like something from hell. Damon grabbed her arm. "Let go of me," She said. In the next second Damon shoved her down on the bed with him on top of her. He forced her down and she struggled but he was too strong. She was starting to see the memories coming back and the worst part was that something happens because of this memory. She had always had nightmares of this. It wasn't just Damon though it was that he had taken advantage of her and done the most vile and horrible things to her. Caroline didn't know what was happening but in the next second she couldn't hold back. She screamed.

Note: So there is another chapter. So many questions really. And I have always loved using cliffhangers. They make you keep wanting to read it. Reviews thanks.
