The diary was mostly useless filled with rubbish about missing home, which boys she liked and how one of her professors was being a dick, but towards the end when Nicky got to the last few days she finally struck gold "finally" she exclaimed and began to read the page. In the diary Emily described how she first met Katherine and Nadia, "must the that other bitch" Nicky muttered "the one who fucking stabbed me" she made a mental note to add Nadia to her revenge list and continued to read. Emily wrote about being harassed by a group of guys and her new friends jumping to her rescue and murdered her attackers. Nicky felt anger rise in her, she knew those guys they were her friends it's wasn't enough that they ruin her life but they had to kill the people she cared about as well. A whole new list of horrible things she was going to do to those bitches came into Nickys head. She wanted to crumple up the paper and burn every piece of this girls existence, but Nicky forced herself to calm down, she still needed to know where the others were. The girl went on to how weirdly calm she was about everything "no surprise coming for a psychopath" Nicky sneered, then the girl wrote about the girls getting her back to her dorm safely and bidding her goodnight as they went back to their hotel. "FINALLY" Nicky exclaimed, Emily had even written the name of the hotel they were staying. Nicky threw down the book and got to her feet, she marched towards the door but stopped when she noticed a large dark red stain. Memories of being frozen unable to speak or move came flooding back as vivid as if they were still occurring, being stuck to the ground while her captors decided her fate and the terror when one approached her with a stake in hand. The pain of the splintered wood being forced into her chest and the world and it faded to black.
Nicky realised she was shaking and took a deep breath to try and calm herself, she noticed a tear roll down her check "NO!" she said through gritted teeth "don't get sad get angry" she said to herself. Nicky reached into her jacket pocket and pulled out a cigarette, it was strange ever since this all started she hadn't felt the need to smoke but she put the cigarette into her mouth anyway and lite it. She took a couple of drags before releasing the smoke from her lungs, Nicky turned her lighter over in her hand as she thought about what she was going to do next. Taking another drag the burning end of the cigarette caught Nickys attention "Inspiration" Nicky said, she struck the lighter and a small flame came to life at the end, Nicky walked over to where the book lay and held the flame to its pages. The book burst into flames and Nicky chucked it onto the bed which in turn caught fire, Nicky watched from the doorway as the fire began to spread and consume the room. The fire alarms sprung into life but luckily the college had been too cheap to install sprinklers so the fire continued to grow and the alarms beeping rang through the dorm waking the students. Nicky easily join the herd rushing out of the building, once outside Nicky stood back and admired her work as the fire moved from room to room its progress easily seen from the ground as the windows began to light up with a orange glow.
Elena felt a mixture of guilt and fear as she saw the look of betrayal on Carolines face, Katherine positioned Past Elena behind her, "hey Care" she called over Katherines shoulder. "Hey Care?" Caroline repeated "Elena WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?". As Caroline shouted Elena could feeling her past self gripping Katherines hand tighter "what are you doing with her?" Katherine crossed her arms and smiled smugly "what does it look like?" she said. Caroline raised a fist and ran up to Katherine as fast as she could, but before she could connect Past Elena pushed Katherine out the way and kicked out hitting her friend in the stomach knocking the wind out of her. Past Elena turned to Katherine "try to be nice to her she my friend" a feeling of guilt grew in Katherine "ok" she said "for you i'll be nice" Past Elena turned back and bet down to help her Caroline to her feet again. Caroline pushed her away, a protective urge came over Katherine but she fought the urge to blindly react, "What the hell Elena?" Caroline gasped not having fully caught her breath "why did you do that?" she pushed herself up and hands on her knees "i want answers Elena why are you here with her?" she said disgust clearly showing in her voice.
Past Elena wrapped her arms around herself "well i came here to find Katherine" she explained she looked back at Katherine who smile at her showing her support "and i came to find Katherine i love her". Caroline looked up at her obviously unable to believe what she just heard "what?", Katherine stepped over to Past Elena and placed a light kiss on her cheek, Past Elena smiled at the gentle kiss before returning her attention to Caroline "i said im in love with her, madly in love". Caroline stared at the couple her breath still rasping a little "have you gone crazy?" she asked straightening up her breathing starting to level out "that's Katherine, you know killer clone Katherine, threatened to kill everyone Katherine, how can you even be in the same room as her let alone let her.." Caroline could finish her sentence. "Well it kind of a long story, but Katherine isn't just who you think she is" Past Elena tried to explain but Caroline refused to listen, She stepped forward and took Elena by the hand and slowly tried to lead her away from Katherine. Elena could feel Katherine hackles raise and her body tense, "just come with me Elena" Caroline asked not taking her eyes off of Katherine "you've been compelled" Past Elena wrenched her hands from Carolines and ran back to Katherine, immediately Katherine began to relax "im a vampire Care i can't be compelled this is how i feel". Caroline threw her arms up in frustration "a witches spell then, it has to be something because there is no way you are in love with Katherine", Elena felt a pang of sadness and guilt Caroline looked hurt and betrayed.
Past Elena step further away from Caroline and closer to Katherine "well this is how i feel and if you can't accept that then i don't want you here", Caroline turned her attention to Katherine "you did this" she said accusingly pointing her finger at her "whatever you did undo it". Katherine snorted "i didn't do anything and even if i did i wouldn't undo it and you know why?" she asked rhetorically "because i'm in love with her to", Caroline backed away from the couple "i think im going to be sick". Katherine looked at Past Elena and saw tears beginning to form in her eyes "please dont be like this Caroline" she said practically begging, the blonde shook her head "no Elena, there something wrong with you" she said and head to the door "and we're going to fix it" Caroline opened to door and shouted "DAMON".
Past Elena looked over to Katherine, panic in her eyes, Katherine grabbed Past Elenas hand and they ran.
Caroline had spent the entire day canvassing the college "she was here for a reason" she thought to herself "so she'll come back", so far nobody had been of any help the only useful information she had managed to find was that there was a attack on campus she was pretty sure Nadia was behind. She sighed and stared up at the nights sky "I'll find her Elena and when i do i'm going to pay her back for what she did to you", the faint buzzing of the phone in her pocket distracted Caroline for a few seconds. It was Stefan again, after the found out about Elena Stefan wanted to take them home and tell the others, but Caroline refused if they went back now then how could they face their friends having let Elenas murderer go like that. When he refused to help she ditched him and he had been texting and calling her ever since. Caroline ignored the text, she wished that Stefan was with her helping her. She had just lost Elena one of the only people she could call a true friend, someone who had always been there since she was a little girl, who had helped her through breakups and failed grades, through arguments with her parents and their divorce and even helped her cope when her father tried to kill her. But she was gone now, forever. No vampire blood or witchs spell could fix that. Caroline had never felt so alone.
She brought her knees up to her chest and hugged them closer as she began to sob.
A loud group of nervous voices caught her attention, Caroline lifted her head to see what was causing the commotion. A orange glow shone through the night "a campfire?" Caroline thought, as the orange glow grew she realized what it really was "oh shit" she exclaimed and jumped to her feet before racing towards the flaming building.
