Caroline's face lights up and Enzo takes in the soft afternoon light casting an intricate pattern of branches on her face as she explains to him how it feels to be a vampire.
She pauses at the end of her memory, her face darkens for a moment.
Enzo sits up, "What's wrong?"
She sighs, avoiding eye contact. "All this reminiscing about the first time I felt happiness as a vampire brought me back to the first time I felt anything as a vampire." She pauses, squeezing her eyes shut before opening them, "It was so overwhelming, it was hard to breath. Ev-everything came back. It was like this tide came and all of what I was feeling in that moment, the disgust, the fear, the confusion, was all swept away as the holes of the past came back." She makes eye contact with him, "You came back."
"I'm sorry that happened. You weren't suppose to get those memories back." Enzo says.
She gives him a bright smile, "I'm not. Because if I didn't remember you, if I didn't remember your humanity that you wore with pride, I would have gave up." She lets out a light that holds sadness, "If I didn't see the hope that you fought so hard against, the hope that brought resilience to still never give up your humanity, than I would lost all hope."
Enzo stays silent, he never realized how much she saw. "Who turned you?" He asks quietly, not yet ready to explore what Caroline sees in him.
She shrugs, looking down at the grass that she's began to twirl. "I don't know." She admits.
"Why were you turned?" He asks, trying to hold his anger back.
Caroline takes a deep breath, "The man who turned me did it because I was compelled, and he wanted to find out why. It all came back at once, all fourteen months, and he knew you." She pauses, while Enzo's eyes widen as the pieces fit together.
She speaks before he can say anything, "He informed me that you were dead, and then left. I found Charley, he helped me get away, and the rest is history."
Enzo sits up and looks down at her, "Have you seen Damon since?"
Her eyebrows raise in confusion, "Who?"
"The vampire that turned you." Enzo answers, feeling antsy.
Caroline shakes her head as she sits up, "No. I just learned his name now."
Enzo looks away from her, feeling his blood boil; Damon knew Caroline was alive but didn't say a thing.
Caroline rests a hand on his shoulder, "What's wrong?"
Enzo looks at her, "Where is the Salvatore Boarding house?" remembering it from a conversation he had decades ago with Damon.
