" You What?" they yelled in unison.
She winced figuring there was a better way of telling them then just saying it.
" Keep your voices down, do you want the whole damn town to hear you."
Dean paced the floor while Sam tried to clam him down.
" Dean maybe we should let her explain," he said trying to reason with his brother.
" Urg.. fine you have 5 minutes to explain what the hell you're talking about," she said sitting back down.
" Okay,'' she said, " So, I was in the hospital after an accident with my friends Matt and Tyler. I wasn't doing good, so Stefan brother Damon gave me his blood. This bitch Katherine pretended to be Elena and smothered me with a pillow. Somehow I didn't go into transition though. So I have to pretend to be a vampire till I find away to tell them I'm not. A vampire."
" let's get this straight you have to pretend to be a vampire because that's what your friends think you are," Dean said dumbfounded.
" yeah." She said wincing.
" Great. Just great," he said walking into the kitchen.
" Caroline we're not mad. It's just you're pretending to be what we were trained to hate and kill," Sam tried to reason.
" I know Sammy. I do, but in this town you do what you have to do to survive."
" how about we all just get some sleep. We can talk about it more in the morning." Sam said as Dean walked in.
" Oh, I forgot I have school in the morning, then I have cheer practice. But I'm free after, you guys could come pick me up and we could go to the Grill."
" Sure why not." Dean said.
" Yes. Okay. Um.. I going to head up to bed. See you in the morning."
The young blonde ran upstairs leaving the brothers in the living room. When Dean heard the door shut. He looked at his brother in shock.
" what the hell Sam?" Dean asked.
" I don't know. The least we can do is be here for her, " he replied.
" Sam, I'm not in the mood for your Dr. Phil bullshit, Okay. Our baby sister is pretending to be a monster. Something we hunt, and she said she's doing it to survive. Sam why did we leave her here?"
" we wanted her to be normal. And we wanted her to be safe."
" Yeah, I remember Samuel. But, she's only 17 she doesn't deserve this."
" Samuel? Really," His older brother rolled his eyes at him.
" not the point, Sam!"
"Dean we were younger than her when we started hunting. She's just trying to survive. Give her some credit." Sam said grabbing his stuff.
" And where are you going?" Dean asked.
" I'm going to get some sleep. You stay here and wallow in self pity, but we need sleep Dean,"
" I'm not wallowing."
" yeah you're not. Why don't you offer to drive her to school tomorrow. So you can talk to her. Instead of trying to be her dad be her older brother," Sam said going towards the steps.
Sam walked up the stairs to one of the guest rooms and threw his bag next to his bed. He took his jacket off and walked into the bathroom. Caroline was sitting at her vanity brushing her blonde hair after getting in her night clothes. Dean finishes off his glass and went upstairs. He opened the door to his room and laid down on the bed.
All three siblings sighed before they turned their lights out and went to sleep.
Elena was sitting on the couch at the boarding house with tears lightly slipping down her cheeks. Damon was softly rubbing her back trying to calm her down.
Stefan walked through the door and into the living room. Damon's head snapped up when he heard his brothers footsteps.
" Stefan, so glad you could join us," he said sarcastically.
" what has her so upset?" Stefan asked sitting down.
" oh, nothing. Just Caroline calling her a self absorbed bitch."
" right. Well, she has her reasons," he defended.
" like what? Elena is supposed to be her friend. Moat people don't call there friends self absorbed."
Stefan sighed, " some her family came I to town, and she's been on edge lately."
" that's not an excuse," Elena said joining sides with Damon. Stefan didn't respond he just stood up and walked out of the room. He walked up the stairs and into his room. He didn't feel like arguing with the two of them tonight.
He laid down on his bed. He rolled over and turned his lights out. Stefan rolled flat on his back and stared up at the ceiling. He was thinking about what Caroline's brothers had said. Did it really look like him and Caroline were dating. He decided not to think about it anymore. He closed his green eyes and went to sleep for the night.
