A/N: Hi readers! I'd first like to thank everyone who followed/favorited and especially you reviewers! You guys make my day :) Here's another chapter, I've been thinking it up in my head for the past few days. So this is me trying to clamp up my ideas into one nice, clean chapter! It's starting from where the episode (Bloodlines) cuts back to Damon and Bree talking. Also I forgot to give credit to the song Cara was singing when Klaus found her. It's called "Good Life" by OneRepublic.
Disclaimer: I (sadly) do not own Vampire Diaries or any of their characters. Just Cara Ann.
Cara's POV
"Oh come on," Was there really no way to get back into that tomb?
"There's really no other way?" Damon finished for me. Damn! He says it, I think it.
"Guys. After all these years you're still trying to get back at Katherine?" Bree said.
"Are you actually going to question it?" Damon replied.
"Bree, look. I'm not just gonna let it go- she USED Stefan." I tried to keep my cool, but seriously? I want to KILL that bitch.
"And not only did that slut use my baby brother, Katherine stopped my wedding, kept me from being sired by the woman I love by turning my brother and I against our will. We want to get her out of that tomb and make her suffer. " Damon was getting angry. Bree noticed his growing anger and quickly changed the direction of our conversation.
"How do you even know Katherine's alive?"
"Well, you help us open that tomb and we'll find out, love." I said, giving her a sly smile.
"I already did. Twenty years ago. Three simple steps: Comet, Crystal, Spell."
"Yeah well we have a little problem with number two," Damon chipped. "Don't have the crystal."
"That's it, Damon. It's Emily's spell."
"What about a new spell, with a new crystal, that overrides Emily's spell?" I asked.
"It doesn't work that way, baby girl. Emily' spell is absolute. You can't get into that tomb," she gave me the girl-this-shit-is-over-deal-with-it look.
Well, fuck me.
Elena's POV
Blech. Sitting in that bar with those two... It's like I could cut the sexual energy between then with a steak knife.
I'm waiting, patiently I might add, outside when my phone rings.
"Elena, is that you?"
"I'm here."
"Where are you?"
"You LIED."
"Not until I explain, please-"
"So you DIDN't lie?"
"Just tell me where you are so I can come get you,"
"How am I connected to Katherine, Stefan?"
"I honestly don't know."
"And I'm supposed to BELIEVE that?"
"It's the truth. I- listen,"
I hung up. Ass.
I turned to go back into that god-awful bar for some food when Cara's standing right behind me
"You okay?" She asked.
"Don't pretend to care. I know you're gloating inside."
3rd Person POV
Stefan walked up to the house and knocked politely at the door.
"Hi,"
"Can I help you?"
"I'm Stefan, I'm a friend of Bonnie's," He reached out to shake her hand, and she gave him a skeptical look. Sheila Bennett knew when there was a vampire, she despised the species. Stefan continued,
"Her dad told me she might be here...?"
"She was, not anymore."
"Do you know where she went?"
"No, but you do."
"Uh- I'm sorry?" Stefan looked slightly confused.
"I told her to face her fear and now I think you know exactly why she was scared," Stefan was lost for words as she went on, stepping over the threshold.
"You know what I am, yet you offered me your hand... Which means you wanted me to see that I can trust you."
"Can you?" Stefan was a brave and noble vampire.
"I trust you'll keep her safe. Better be on you way, then..." she paused, then stepped back into her house. "I'm not going to invite you in." she continued, raising her eyebrows. "I'm sure you know why."
Cara's POV
We sat in the bar, Damon ate the burger and I nibbled the fries, drinking the blood damon had gotten earlier out of his flask since I wasn't in the mood for regular food. Elena looked up at be in between scarfing down the burger I'd bought her.
"So, let's say that I'm descended from Katherine: does that make me part vampire?"
"Sadly, vampires can't procreate."
"Though we love to try," Damon waggled his eyebrows at me suggestively while I chuckled at shot him a wink. Elena gave him glare, she was trying to be serious.
"No, if you were related, it'd mean that Katherine had a child before she was turned," he finished.
"Did Stefan think he could use me to replace her?"
"It's kinda creepy if you ask me..." I said. Elena scowled, and prodded at her pickle.
"You don't like pickles?" Damon asked.
"What's wrong with you?" I added, taking it and chomping down on the tart veggie.
"Thought you weren't in the mood for human food?" my fiance asked.
"Babe, I'm always in the mood for pickles!" I spoke with a wide grin.
"Makes sense," he said, giving me a genuine smile back.
"How can you guys even eat if you're...Ya know, supposed to be..." Elena trailed off.
"Dead?" I finished.
"It's not such a bad word. As long as we keep a healthy diet of blood in our system," Damon answered.
"Our bodies function pretty normally." I finished. Elena smiled and chuckled to herself quietly...
"What?"
"You guys always finish each other's sentences... It's actually pretty cute," She looked genuinely... entertained? It looked like she was holding in laughter.
"Thank you," I smirked at her, then realized Damon and I had said that simultaneously.
"Damn!" Ugh! We did it again! I punched Damon in the arm lightly and he let out a low laugh, as Elena started to crack up. Bree came over and set two beers on the bar.
"Thanks, Bree," Damon and I said. At the SAME TIME.
"OH. My god. Again? Seriously?" I spat, now starting to giggle. Elena was falling off the barstool and Bree smiled at me.
"You guys still do that talking thing, huh?" she asked.
"What do you mean, still do?" I replied.
"Cara Ann, you and Damon have been talking that way since I met you. It's actually how you tried to compel me for blood the night we met, girl! You started and Damon finished for you. It's adorable!" She was now in a fit of laughter.
"Okay I get it! We're a cute couple! Can we please change the subject?" Damon kissed me on the cheek and handed me my beer. Elena was back on here feet and noticed our drinks.
"I'll have one, too."
"Huh?" Damon said. Elena Prissy Gilbert wants a beer? Well that's a first.
"Time out, remember? Five minutes? Well that five minutes is gonna need a beer."
"Here you go," Bree handed her the same beer Damon and I had both got. We all clinked our glasses and I watched as Elena drank her beer with a stern, determined look on her face.
Bonnie's POV
Once I brushed myself off from the fall, I took a look at my surroundings. It was an underground room, and there was a stone door on the far wall. It had an upside-down pentagram carved into the grey stone. I walked over and placed my ear against the cold surface, and i heard whispers and small movements. I jumped back and pulled out my phone. Please, please please have service!
"Oh no." I stepped forward into the middle of the room, and looked around to try and find a way out.
A vampire came out behind me and I let out a peircing scream.
"Shhh, Bonnie, it's just me. It's Stefan." Stefan cooed.
"Stefan? Th- The ground gave way and I-I fell.." I trailed off, completely scared out of my wits.
"Shhh, shhh Bonnie it's okay. Calm down," Stefan said while placing is hands on my shoulders. I let out a deep breath. "Come on. Let's get you out of here."
"How?"
"Just close your eyes... Trust me." I gave him a small smile, thanking him, and closed my eyes. I felt his arms wrap around me from behind and then... woosh. I felt a hard surface beneath me, but kept my eyes shut.
"You can open your eyes now." Stefan said.
"Wow..."
"I didn't want to scare you."
"How did you know where I was?"
"Well your Grandma told me what you were doing and I just guessed the where." I nodded, then decided to tell him what I heard.
"I heard them down there, behing the door. Are they... In pain?" I asked. I heard a lot of grunts and growls.
"At first, yes. But not anymore. They've starved to the point of dessication."
"But, if they have blood then-"
"It's not gonna happen, Bonnie. They can't get out. Emily saw to that when she used you to destroy the crystal," I started to tear up at the thought of my experience with Emily, "You're safe."
Cara's POV
"Ready...GO!" Bree shouted to the crowd at the bar. We all downed our third shot (Yes, even Elena). I finished mine first, while Elena came in second and Damon at close third and a drip of vodka drippe down his chin, once again.
"Aww, baby need a bib?" I teased him.
"Well sorry I can't unhinge my jaw like a snake to consume alcohol," He teased back.
"Heyyyyy you used my line!" Elena pouted, slurring her words a bit.
"Anyone want another round?" I yelled.
"Yeah come one, guys! One more!" Elena chipped. Seems like she's one of those peppy, cheery drunks.
A blonde who was sitting next to Elena shouted at us, "You girls should be on the floor!"
"Pffffft I'm not even drunk! My tolerence is, like, wayyyyyy up here!" Elena shouted back, getting off her seat and jumping with her hand in the air. I laughed a bit and turned back to Damon. I have a little buzz goin, sure, but usually it takes loads of alcohol to actually get me drunk. I will admit, once I get a buzz going, I start to get a bit frisky...
"Hey babe. How's it going?" I ask, swinging my arms around his neck it a flirst manner.
"I'm great, and you?" he said, picking up one of my curls and twirling it between his fingers.
"Great," I said before crashing my lips onto his. It wasn't one of those sweet, i-love-you kisses. It was a passionate and rough kind of kiss. I slid off my barstool and onto his, stradeling his lap while our lips were still connected. His tounge swept over my bottom lip and I opened my mouth willing, and the kiss got heated. Soon enough we were full on making out at the bar, when Elena told us to take it elsewhere. Damon lifted me up, my legs still wrapped around his waist, and blurred us out in front of the bar. I hopped off him and smirked at the pout on his face from the loss of conncetion. I then switched out positions and pushed him back against the brick wall with my hadns against his chest. I started to nibble and place wet kisses down his neck and he let out a soft moan. He spun us back around and kissed me again when I heard a Elena nearby.
"Damon, wait."
"Wait...for...what?" He said between kisses. I sped out and away from him, trying to hear what she was saying.
"Elena. She's on the phone over there, with Jenna... She just fell... Damon, someone's got her!" I ran towards the sound at inhuman speed with Damon trailing behind. When we stopped, I noticed Elena's phone on the ground. Damon picked it up and I placed a finger over my lips,, telling him to be quiet. We slowly walked around the area, and I spotted Elena perched on some metal beams suppotring gas tanks.
"Cara, Damon, NO!" She yelled. A vampire came from behind us and nocked me to my knees with a metal pipe. I heard Damon is stuggle as well, and looked over to see the mystery man break his legs. I got up at put him in a choke hold, but he released himself from my grasp and plunged the pipe in my stomach. I yelled in pain as I fell over and Damon reached over to help me yank it out. I felt something wet pour over me and soon realized it was gasoline.
"What the hell?" Damon rasped, "Who are you?"
"That's perfect, you have no idea!" replied the man, a look pure hatred on his face.
"What are you talking about? What did they do?" screamed Elena.
"He killed my girlfriend! And she was supposed to be her best friend!" He told her. The man resumed pouring gasoline all over Damon and I.
Lexi...!
"What did she do to you, huh? WHAT DID SHE DO?!" The man was now yelling at us.
"Nothing..." Damon answered.
"I don't understand..." Elena cried.
"My girlfriend went to visit Stefan for his birthday and to ask Cara about wedding plans... and Damon killed her and her best friend didn't do a damn thing about it!" Lexi's boyfriend yelled back.
Damon started to sit up to explain and he kicked him in the face. I'm so gonna kill that douche when I heal...
"Wait...Lexi? Lexi was your girlfriend?" Elena said. He turned to look at her as she continued, "She-she told me about you. She said you were human...?"
A grave, sorrow expression spread across his face, "I was." Out of the corner of my eye I saw him pull a lighter out of his pocket.
"Lexi turned you?"
"When you want to be with someone forever, you have to live forever..." I started to get up, feeling the hole in my stomach starting to close, but he ran back over with inhumad speed and kicked my wound.
"Lexi.. she said that when it's real, you cant walk away!" Elena yelled.
"Well that's a choice that you're not gonna have to make!"
"Don't! No, please don't hurt them!"
"Trust me, I'll be doing you a favor." He sparked the lighter.
I reached for Damon's hand and intertweined our fingers, grasping it tightlty.
"I love you," he said.
"I love you too." We both thought it was the end, until Elena started to talk to him again.
"Lexi loved you, and she was good, so that means you're good too. Be better then them."
He plunged the pipe back into be stomach, and threw damon against the bar 100 feet away.
"Thank you," Elena said.
"It wasn't for you."
