"Bonnie! Are you in here?" Caroline shouted and banged on the witches door. After Rebekah had read the letter to her, she had excused herself and hurried to Bonnie's room. "Bennett witch, open the door! Now!"

The door was snatched opened, and furious set of green eyes landed on Caroline. "What do you want?" She flinched back from Bonnie's hurtful tone, but Caroline crossed her arms and frowned. "Bonnie, you know what's going. Tell me." She pleaded.

Bonnie opened the door, allowing her to step in and then she turned and stared at the young witch. "Caroline- I don't… What are you talking about?" Bonnie asked in an unconvincing voice.

Caroline sadly looked at Bonnie and didn't understand why her best friend was behaving this way. "Bonnie… I thought we could talk about anything?" She replied in a hurt voice. Bonnie turned away from her and walked towards her bed.

"Caroline, I'm sorry. This friendship has come to a point where it has to stop." Caroline stormed over to Bonnie and grabbed her around spinning Bonnie around to face her. "Bonnie! Please, tell me what have I done? Just please…" she begged.

Bonnie snatched her arm way from her and pointed to the door. "Get out Caroline!" She could feel the tears forming, but she wouldn't let Bonnie have the satisfaction of seeing her so upset. Without saying another word, Caroline bolted from the room.

She flew down the hallway and into her bedroom. Caroline couldn't believe that Bonnie was being this way towards her. She considered Bonnie one of her greatest friends, the one whom she told many secrets to.

Caroline leaned back against the door frame and let her body slowly crash to the floor. She sobbed uncontrollably knowing that sooner or later this day would have come. She didn't have anyone and she meant nothing to no one.

She didn't know how long she sat in the uncomfortable position but jumped when someone loudly banged on the door. "Caroline! Pack everything. We leave mid-day tomorrow!" Rebekah screeched through the thick wood.

Caroline wiped her eyes as she heard Rebekah continue to yell at her through the closed door. Finally she snapped in return, "Yes! I understand Rebekah!" She heard silence for a moment, and then the echoing of heavy footsteps down the hallway.

Alone at last, Caroline finally pulled herself together. She stood and made way over to her closet taking the expensive clothes out one by one. In all of the years she had been with Rebekah, Stefan and Bonnie they have never been so secretive.

Unless she had been that naïve to believe the words that had come out of their mouths. She suddenly thought back to all the times she had asked them questions and they had never answered. 'What friends I have.'

A soft knock on the door brought her back to reality and she sighed loudly. "Whom is it?" Caroline called over her shoulder, not caring if the person answered or not. "Caroline, it's me. Please open up. I have to speak to you." Stefan answered quietly.

Caroline looked out the window as she heard Stefan gently open the door. "Caroline…" His sweet voice whispered. She refused to look at him. She was angry and confused, a lot like the night that her life had changed completely.

"What do you want Stefan? As you can see, I am packing for my demise." Caroline bitterly replied. He finally stepped into her vision and she saw the scowl on his handsome face. "Caroline, I want to tell you some things about me and how they are similar to you."

Caroline could tell from his tone that he was being completely honest with her, something she realized he never often did. "Carry on Stefan." Caroline spoke in an uninterested manner. She watched out of the corner of her eyes as he took a seat in her rocking chair.

"It was long before you were born that my story takes place. I was once a human, just like you… but one night I guess fate decided it would have me turn into a vampire." Caroline finally turned her full attention to Stefan and ignored her belongings.

Stefan had never fully opened up to her like this and she intended to listen to every word. "My father, my…. Brother and myself were all traveling back home from England one night when our carriage was suddenly attacked. By what we didn't know… but the sounds coming from outside were the most disturbing sounds I've ever heard in my life."

She could see Stefan trembling and thought about comforting him but choose not to. "My father, and Damon, my brother… told me to stay in the carriage and they would find a way to get out of their safely. They waited for what seemed forever when the noises finally stopped, then there was a knock on the door."

Caroline sat on the bed fully intrigued with his story, and waited for him to continue." My father looked at us, confused... we were just the same. He thought about it for a moment when the someone knocked on the door again."

She could see a small smile appearing on Stefan's face. "My father finally opened the door…" Caroline could see the far away look in his eyes. "Stefan…" She urged him. Stefan looked down at her, "We were met with one of the most beautiful women, I have ever seen."

Caroline's looked at him blankly, 'A woman?' "Yes, a woman Caroline. Her name was Katherine Pierce and she is the one who turned my entire family." Caroline was stunned. Stefan had never explained how or why he was turned into a vampire but now the realization hit her. "You didn't want to be a vampire."

Stefan looked at Caroline and sighed loudly. "No Caroline, I never wanted to be like this. I was made because we were needed for Mikael's army. He wanted to defeat the werewolves, so he sent out Katherine to gather... people. I never knew I would end up falling in love with her."

Caroline could feel nothing but sympathy for her friend. "Stefan, did she not return your feelings?" She watched as he stood and made his way towards her window. "Yes she did, Caroline. But… Rebekah also ended up falling in love with me as well."

Things were starting to fall in place as Caroline put the story together. "Rebekah's jealously of Katherine made her compel her to leave and never seek me out again. That's why I resent Rebekah so much." Caroline felt her anger start to boil. After all the times she had felt sorry for Rebekah now she knew the truth.

"But Caroline, I do care for Rebekah. I always have and I always will. That is another story. I just want you to know that, you're not the only one that has suffered for this family. You're not alone… I know Bonnie and you had an argument. She came to me and we spoke about it."

Caroline stood from her bed and hastily made her way back to her closet. "Yes Stefan, we did. Bonnie wishes not to be my friend anymore. I want to understand, but if that is what she desires then so be it." She began place the dresses in two different piles as Stefan flashed in front of her and gathered her in his arms.

She was stunned for a moment, but finally wrapped her arms around him. "Bonnie will come to you on her own terms, you have to be patient." Stefan whispered in her ear. The words soothed the ache in Caroline's heart as she nodded.

"I know, Stefan. It just upset me, I want her to be honest with me… like I am to her." Caroline finally let the tears fall, when she felt his fingers brush them away. "I know. Be patient. She will come to you when the time is right."

Caroline smiled up at him, so thankful that finally someone was being honest with her. "I must leave before the maids get suspicious." Stefan grinned, teasing her. Caroline lightly smacked him on the arm, "What shall I ever do with you Stefan Salvatore?"

Stefan's grin widened and he made his way towards to door. "Tomorrow we will leave and return to Scotland to be reunited with the Mikaelson clan." Caroline's heart pounded in her chest. There was only one Mikaelson she truly wished to see.

"I know Stefan, though I cannot say I'm grateful to be seeing them." Caroline watched amused as Stefan stepped through the door before turning to her and giving her a knowing smile. "Not even, Lord Niklaus?" Caroline's mouth fell open but before she could say anything he turned and flashed down the hallway, his laugher still ringing in the mansion.

Caroline shook her head and returned to her room. 'Sometimes it seems as if Stefan can possibly read my mind.' She knew he was right though. She could feel the butterflies returning to her at the thought of seeing Klaus again. She couldn't lie to herself, she had thought about him every day over the years.

She wondered if anything about him had changed but most importantly, had he ever thought about her. Caroline prayed that he had, because he was never far from her mind. She finally placed all of her belongings into her oversize chest and prepared for sleep that night. She went to bed with a smile on her face, and as usual dreamt of him that night.
