Forbes' Resident
Caroline's Bedroom
Next Day…

Caroline and Lexi have been hanging out nearly all day to halfway of night. Kol has learned a lot about Lexi's life as she explained her experiences as a vampire through her memories of three hundred years. The dark-blonde vampire informed the baby vampire about the pros and cons of a vampire in life. Even add few tips and helpful advice, much to Kol's gratefulness.

Before the vampires and a ghost knew, a new day came, and Caroline has a plan to attend in the park. Lexi was disappointed that she wants to experience it but unfortunately, she doesn't have a daylight ring. Caroline would ask Bonnie for it but they both are not talking to each other. Lexi told the blonde-haired beauty that it was fine, and she needs sleep anyways.

And now, after Caroline got dressed and ready for the new day to start. She glanced over at Lexi who is resting under the duvet covers with her eyes close, peacefully. The blonde-haired beauty smiles sweetly at her friend. At least she isn't alone in this vampire life. She has Lexi, Lee, Stefan, and Kol.

The blonde-haired beauty left her bedroom with Kol followed behind and she locked the door. She doesn't want her mom accidentally to go into her bedroom and interrupt her friend's rest. "Alrighty…" Caroline descended the stairs and paused when she noticed her mother is taking boxes into the foyer.

Caroline frowns with confusion as her arms cross. She steps forward while Kol raises his eyebrow with puzzling. "Are you off today?" her blue-green eyes spotted two coolers, few small and medium sizes of boxes, and a bag near the door.

Sheriff Forbes dressed in her casual clothes which is Kol's first time seeing it because Caroline's mother always wears her sheriff uniform. Liz straightens up her spine and smiles at her daughter. "The Historical Society Volunteer Picnic is today. You're the one who signed me up." She reminded Caroline.

"I know." Caroline knew. "I just assumed you'd bail." She blunted while Kol watches them quietly with neutral.

Liz shakes her head. "Nope. I'm gonna spend the whole day with my daughter."

Caroline raises her eyebrow in skepticism as she steps forward. "You're gonna pretend to be a mother?"

"I'll bring my gun if it rough." Liz said as she double-checks her things and grabbed a bottle of water from her bag. "Come on, give me one day." She glanced at her daughter. "I've been buried in work mode; I've barely seen you."

The blonde-haired beauty scoffed. "Well be warned, I'm in a mood." She said dryly.

"Goodie for me." Liz sarcastically said with a smile and Caroline just chuckled. "Also, I saw someone with you late last night. She looks familiar…"

Caroline paused before she could walk away. Kol hummed as he wonders what his vampire will explain to her mother about her situation. "Her name is Lexi. She was here a few months ago when it was Stefan's birthday." She informed her mother. "She is here because we missed each other and wanted to hang out." Kol nods his head as it was the truth, not all but still.

"I see…" Liz trailed off while examined her daughter who just faux-smiles at her. "…is everything okay with you?" she asked, concerned.

Caroline blinked in surprise. "I'm fine."

"It's just lately you seem different."

"Oh, you mean that fact that your daughter is now a blood-sucking vampire?" Kol sarcastically said.

The blonde-haired beauty cleared her throat. "I'm not different, I'm fine." She answered and tried to leave but her mother stopped her.

"I know you think I don't notice these things, but I do. What's going on with you?" Liz steps forward with worried.

Caroline stared at her then exhaled. "You know there's pretending to be a mother and then there's reality. Let's not push our luck, okay?" she snippily said then walked away from her mother who stared at her with a slight flash of hurt in her eyes.

Kol whistled. "Well damn, darling." He knew that his vampire is upset right now with her mother. Once again.

Mystic Falls
Public Park — Historical Society Volunteer Day

The park was filled with males who are cutting woods, females who are racking leaves and replanting the flowers, children who are playing around or runs some short errands to help the adults, elders are preparing snacks and drinks, and many ages volunteers bring the lively park to build a new and better public park.

Kol wasn't interested in building the park because it seems boring and dull in his opinion, which is why he is entertaining himself by listening to his vampire complaining to the brunette doppelgänger. Caroline and Elena are walking side by side together while Kol is following behind his vampire with his arms folded behind his head with slightly bored.

"So, suddenly, she's in the running for Mother of the Year just when I'm trying to avoid her the most." Caroline whines and noticed Elena who is looking down quietly. The blonde-haired beauty sighed as she set the paint bucket down near the bench that is filled with flowers. "I'm babbling, you don't want to hear all this." She said with slight disappointment.

"Oh, no, sorry." Elena denied as she set her paint bucket down near the outdoor pump water. She grabbed a paintbrush and start painting the woods. "What happened?" she probed Caroline to continue.

Caroline sighed heavily as she grabbed a paintbrush from the paint bucket to the outside of the veranda and start painting while Kol just stood near her with a blank face. "Well, I was a bitch which is par for the course with us." She muttered then glanced at Elena who looks forlorn.

The blonde-haired beauty frowns with concern. "Is everything okay? I noticed you and Stefan barely looked at each other earlier." She said, confused as Kol glanced at the brunette. "A fight?" he muttered, disinterested.

"Oh… we had a fight." Caroline paused and turned her blue-green eyes to her friend with astonished surprise. Elena just nods her head. "He's been pushing me away because he thinks that Katherine—" Kol growled while Caroline grimaced. "—might get jealous enough to hurt me. I just don't know how to change his mind."

The blonde-haired beauty starts repainting the wood. "Well… she is dangerous… I mean…" she glanced around just in case there's no eavesdropper and set the paintbrush back in the bucket and went to her friend. Caroline bends down next to Elena. "…she murdered me, Elena." She reminded her friend while Kol mumbled darkly under his breath something involved with torture device and vervain spray.

"Uh… yeah…" Elena cringe as she recalled it. "…I know that she is dangerous… and I know that he's just trying to protect me, but it feels like giving up, and I just…"

"What the bloody hell has that got to do with anything?! My darling was murdered by your whore of an ancestor!" Kol snarled, offended that Elena brushes the fact away as if it's nothing. Her best friend, Caroline Forbes, was murdered. 'The fuck is wrong with the doppelgängers?' Kol mused, angrily.

Caroline cleared her throat as she brushes her stray hair away from her face when the breezes being playful to her hair. "Just what?" she ignores the pang of hurt when Elena just moved on as if her being murdered is not important.

"I just thought that we were stronger than that." Elena whispered, sadly while idly painting the woods.

After that, Caroline just hummed and stood up. She returns to her duty while Kol glares at the brunette. He really starting to hate Elena. How dare this bitch doppelgänger not care about his vampire? "Darling, you need to kick her arse and start to bring Lexi in as your best friend from now on." He muttered as he steps closer to his vampire who is finishing painting.

Kol gently brushes his fingers on her cheek which Caroline lifted her shoulder to cover her freezing cheek. "Kol…" she whispered with a soft smile, happy that her ghost friend was with her. Kol's dark eyes soften when he saw her reaction.

After a moment, Caroline switches to the next beam and noticed Elena glanced over Stefan who is measuring the woods across the field. Stefan glanced over at her quietly. "Oh, oh…" Caroline speaks up. "Longing looks are being exchanged." She pointed it out. Kol snorted. "Why don't you both just bloody do make-up sex or something?!" he was fed up because he has been noticed the doppelgänger and the young Salvatore exchanges love-longing glances for the past ten minutes. He thanks the Goddess that his vampire finally noticed it.

Caroline blinked as Elena set down the paintbrush into the bucket with a determined frown on her face. "I'm gonna go talk to him." She stood up.

"Wait, no, Elena… Elena!" Caroline protested but Elena ignores her as she sauntered toward Stefan with confidence. The blonde-haired beauty sighed as she placed her paintbrush down. "…did you just said sex?" she whispered to her ghost friend with baffled.

"Yes." Kol shamelessly admitted that he did say it as he pokes her nose.

Caroline wrinkles her nose as she was surprised by the cold touch. She crossed her arms as her blue-green eyes stay on her friend with concern and curiosity.

"What's her problem?" Kol hisses distastefully at Damon who suddenly appeared by his vampire's side.

The blonde-haired beauty steps away from him with a cold glance. "Don't worry about it."

The soon-to-be bead vampire narrowed at Elena and Stefan at the distance. "Why are you being such a bitch to your mom?" he asked, curious.

"Why is that any of your business, arsehole?" Kol hissed at Damon while Caroline turned her head at him with a cold calculating look. "Don't worry about it." She turned away and return to her duty.

Kol noticed his vampire and the soon-to-be-dead vampire are eavesdropping on Elena and Stefan's conversation in the distance. He wondered what they are talking about. After a moment, Elena turned around and walked away while Stefan stared at her sadly.

Damon sighed. "Relationships are about communication." He commented. Caroline slowly turned her head and stared at him with icy-cold glares then put down her things and leave.

"You are impossible. Did you already forget that you used compulsion on my darling? Bloody hell, you are ridiculously hypocritical." Kol shakes his head as he quickly went after his vampire.

.

.

.

Caroline finally found Elena who is sitting at the large rock near the steams as she is ripping the stray grass alone. Kol glanced around in his surrounding with a blank gaze. The blonde-haired beauty ambled her way over to the brunette and sat down next to her. She tilted her head at Elena who is staring at the steam while continue tore the grass into pieces. "You okay?"

"No." Elena frowned, distressed.

The blonde-haired beauty bit her lip while Kol stood behind her as his hands shoved in his pockets. "I'm sure things will be okay. I mean, a relationship isn't perfect… you and Stefan are bound to have some fight. It's natural." She attempts to comfort her friend, gently.

"…thanks." Elena half-smile at Caroline before she threw the pieces of grasses into the stream. Before Caroline open her mouth, she paused when she spotted her mother walking up the hill with a phone.

The blonde-haired beauty frowned. "Is she leaving?" Elena and Kol blinked at her and followed Caroline's gaze and saw Liz walking in the distance. "Where is my mom going?" Caroline stood up and start to follow her mother.

Soon, Caroline catches up to her mother gracefully with Kol by her side with a frown. "What's wrong?"

Liz turned around as she hangs up her phone. She blinked at her daughter in surprise. "Nothing. I just have something…"

"You mean work?" Caroline crossed her arms with a disappointed frown. "You've surprised me. You last longer than five minutes." Kol sighed as he knew that his vampire is upset with her mother's early departure.

Her mother shakes her head. "It's important."

"It always is." Caroline said, unhappily.

Liz's eyes started to teary. "I'm sorry." Her voice crack in apologized, turned around, and walk away. Kol tilted his head with puzzled while Caroline blinks in astonishment.

Elena caught up to the blonde-haired beauty who is watching her mother moving further away. "What's going on?"

"Something isn't right, sweetheart." Kol lightly brushes his finger against Caroline's hand.

The blonde-haired beauty shivers. "I don't know. Something's up." She and her mother usually had this countless fights/argument before, but never had her mother breaks into tears before. There is something wrong and Caroline wants to figure out what's going on with her mother.

With determination, Caroline start walking through the path into the woods and Elena nearly stumbled as she went after the blonde-haired beauty. Kol instantly walks next to his vampire with curiosity and interest. "What are you planning, love?"

Soon, Caroline reached the top of the hill in the woods graceful while Elena nearly trips few times until she stood next to her. Kol peek at his vampire's face with intrigue. "What's going on?" Elena asked with confusion.

"I need to be able to hear better." Caroline mused out loud.

Elena furrowed her eyebrows. "Hear what?"

The blonde-haired beauty pushed her hair back behind her ears. "Something's wrong, Elena." She muttered and closed her eyes, focusing on the noises. Kol watches her with fascination how she is self-learning to use vampiric senses.

"Caroline—" Kol and Caroline shush the doppelgänger simultaneously.

The blonde-haired beauty carefully hears the lawnmower engine running, hammering, children shouting, branches snapping, chattering, water spraying, laughter exchanges, and footsteps. Until she managed found voices—familiar voices—Damon and Stefan, then gunshots heard and two loud thuds. Which startled Caroline and she whirled around in shock. "Oh god."

"What is it?" Elena asked, confused and worried while Kol was impressed with his vampire.

Caroline quickly runs at a human pace before she answers Elena. "Stefan and Damon." Elena's eyes widen in baffled then quickly followed her.

.

.

.

Caroline, Elena, and Kol have been running for a moment until the blonde-haired beauty paused. Elena halted and whirled around while Kol watches his vampire with interest. "What is it?"

The blonde-haired beauty glanced around as she subtly sniffed the air then lowered her blue-green eyes down. She bends down, touches the leaves, and lifted her index finger and thumb to display the blood that she found. "They've been here." Elena gasped in horror.

"How fascinating, love. You could smell that small amount of blood? Impressive." Kol muttered, amazed. He knew it takes a long training and decades age of vampires to pick up that small amount of blood. To think that a barely week-old vampire managed to smelt it? He couldn't wait to see how much talented his vampire has.

Suddenly, twigs snapped that caught others' attention. "What are you two doing out here?" all heads turned to a man who is easily recognizable as Mason Lockwood.

"Have you seen Stefan?" Elena asked, worriedly.

Caroline slowly stood up warily while Kol glares at Mason cautiously. He steps closer to his vampire while Mason answered Elena blankly. "Yeah, Elena. I've seen him. Seen Damon too."

"Where are they?"

Mason walked closer to them. "You don't need me for that." His gaze shifted over to Caroline, calmly. "I'll let your friend here sniff them out." He declared, informed them that he knew Caroline is a vampire.

"Of bloody course, a fucking werewolf." Kol curses under his breath.

Caroline stiffed when she heard his ghost friend's words and carefully calculating at Mason. "Does your mother know what you are?" he tauntingly her. "I'm happy to tell her." Before Caroline could step forward, Mason instantly grabbed Elena and turned her around as he strangles her with an arm under her chin. Elena gasped loudly in fear while Caroline froze. Kol glares at Mason coldly.

"Don't be stupid." Mason snapped at Caroline with a warning. "Necks snap easy around here."

Elena struggles against Mason, but it was useless since she is only a weak human as Mason is a strong werewolf. Caroline lifted her chin. "I can take you."

"Wanna bet?" Mason scoffed with disbelief.

The blonde-haired beauty glares at him. "Yeah. I do." She stated with determination and confidence. Suddenly, she vamp-speed forward and grabbed Elena to break free from Mason's hold. Then immediately grabbed the werewolf's neck and pushed him against a tree. Elena turned around while Kol watches his vampire taking on a werewolf with baffled.

"I told you." Caroline snarky said with a smirk. Then she knees him in the groin, pushed him down onto all fours then kicks him hard in the stomach which sends him flying against a tree across from her and fell on the ground with broken bone cracks. Mason groaned in pain as he couldn't move.

Kol gap. He never, ever, would have thought that his vampire, a barely week-old vampire could take on a grown-ass werewolf so easily. Watching her kicking a werewolf's ass turned him on. "Holy shit, love… that was sexy as fuck." Kol blunted, amazed, shocked, impressed, proud, and slightly lovestruck.

Caroline smirks smugly then glanced at shocked Elena. "Come on."

.

.

.

It was only a short moment of running when Caroline halted once again. Her blue-green eyes stared at the ruins where the stairs descended down in the under the dirt. "What is that?" Elena asked, confused.

Kol rolled his eyes. "Oh, I don't know. It looks like some kind of ruins that were made centuries ago. What do you think?" he sarcastically said to the brunette.

Caroline tilted her head as she could hear her mother's voice. "He's not gonna tell us anything. Kill them both." She gasped softly as she covered her mouth in disturbing shock. Kol frowned at her with concern.

"Caroline." Elena steps closer to her friend with anxiety and fear. "Caroline, what is it?"

The blonde-haired beauty lowered her hand with a grave tone. "My mom… she's killing them."

"What?!" Elena immediately starts motioning forward to the ruin's stairs, but Caroline grabbed her arm, denied Elena to leave. "We have to stop her!" she snapped at Caroline.

Caroline stared at Elena with fear. "No, I can't. Elena, she's gonna find out about me." Elena jerked her arm from Caroline's hands and rushes into the old cellar. "Elena!"

The blonde-haired beauty groaned as she glanced around nervously and anxious. She doesn't know what to do. She doesn't want Stefan to die, because then Lexi will be very upset. Stefan is her friend too and she doesn't care about Damon, but Damon doesn't deserve to die either. "What am I gonna do?" she mused out loud, frightened and slightly panicked.

Kol watches her calmly, then reached his hand to brushes her cheek in hope of comfort and soothe her down. Caroline paused as she shivers and closed her eyes. She is scared, no doubt it, because she doesn't want her mother to learn about her true nature. However, her friends are in danger, and she couldn't leave them alone. She will feel so guilty and shame if she doesn't do anything about it. What would Lexi and Lee say if they learn that Stefan is dead? All because she is scared that her mother will find out about her being a vampire.

But… she couldn't leave her friends because they are her friends. "Damn it." The blonde-haired beauty curses softly as she snapped her eyes open with determination. Caroline instantly runs down the brick stairs silently and Kol went hot on her tail.

The wild Original follows inside the semi-dark old cellar and barely noticed that his vampire is hiding in the dark. The metal gate closed itself which caught everyone's attention with guard and cautioned.

"What was that?" one of the deputies asked, fear as his gun held up.

Liz carefully examined her surroundings warily. She turned to Elena as her gun is pointed forward in defensive. "Who else is with you?"

Kol watches the blur of black and blonde hair as she sped around the cellar, closes on one of the deputies from behind, and bit his neck rather viciously. The other deputy saw with horrified that he immediately fires his gun at her. However, Caroline promptly hid behind the man as the bullets shot into the dead deputy. Once the triggers stopped, she dropped the corpse down on the ground and vamp-speed over to the cop who nearly shot at her, ripping the gun out of his hands, and instantly knocked him out and threw him on the floor next to the Salvatore brothers.

Then Caroline hid in the shadow while growling softly for a short moment until she slowly came out of the dark to reveal her bloody vampire face.

Kol stared at his vampire with wide eyes in awe.

He didn't think it was possible, but somehow… he found himself fallen in love with her all over again.

Liz stared at her daughter in horror, shock, and despair while Caroline shifted her crimson-red eyes from the ground to her mother's heartbroken eyes. "Hi, mom." She said quietly.

After a moment, the Salvatore brothers finally woke up as Damon is feeding on one of the disputes while Elena is helping Stefan. Caroline is sitting at the small steps near the gate quietly with Kol who is sitting next to her and Liz is sitting in a different spot as she put herself in distance away from her daughter.

"Darling…" Kol murmured under his breath as he carefully examined his vampire's tense expression on her face. She didn't even clean the blood from her face. He reached to feather-like touches her cheek which Caroline closes her eyes and expressed the shivers. The tenses fade away to relaxation as her shoulders slightly slump.

After Damon finished his fed as he is filled with blood. The older Salvatore lazily pulled away from the corpses and crawled over to his brother and sat on his knees. "You need to drink some deputy blood." He advises.

Stefan shook his head. "No. I'm gonna be fine. It's just gonna take a little bit longer." He winced as he adjusted himself on the uncomfortable floor.

"Damon's right, you know…" Caroline speaks up with concern. "If there's ever a time to break your diet—" she tried to help.

However, Elena snapped at the blonde-haired beauty. "He said he didn't want it, okay?" Kol snarled at Elena with anger and offensive. "Watch your tone, you fucking bitch." He snapped at the doppelgänger; he officially hates her now.

The older Salvatore groaned as he is still healing when he pushed himself up from the ground to his feet. "This is a most unfortunate situation. Two deputies dead and you—" Damon turned his attention to Sheriff Forbes who is sitting silently. "—what am I gonna do with you?"

Liz just stared at him blankly with watery eyes.

Caroline leaned forward as she attempts to catch her mother's eyes. "You won't tell anyone, will you?" Liz didn't answer her. "Mom? Mom? Please. Look, I know that we don't get along and that you hate me but I'm your daughter and you'll do this for me, right?" Kol watches his vampire and her mother quietly.

Liz stared down at her lap, tears slipping from her eyes and Caroline released her anxious shuddering sighed. "Mom, please." She pleaded. "He will kill you."

"Then kill me." Sheriff Forbes glanced up and stared at Damon with a stubborn face.

Caroline's eyes widen in shock. "No!" she objected.

"I can't take this." Liz shakes her head with tears spilling over her cheeks. "Kill me now." She pleaded to Damon who stared at her blankly. Then the older Salvatore walks up to her as Caroline stood up to intervene but Damon bends down so his icy-blue eyes made eye contact with Liz's eyes. "But you were going to drag it out so painfully."

Then suddenly, Damon abruptly grabbed Liz's arms and pulled her to her feet, causing everyone to flinched and Caroline panicked. "No, no, no, no, no, no!" she doesn't want to lose her mother while Kol steps closer to his vampire while eyeing the older Salvatore silently.

"Damon, don't!" Stefan protested.

Elena begged. "Damon, please!"

The older Salvatore rolled his eyes and turned his gaze to the others. "Relax guys. No one is killing anybody." He turned his eyes back to Liz who stared at him quietly. "You're my friend." Then Damon glanced over at the corpses. "We've got to clean this up." He added, nodding his head at the dead bodies.

Kol sighed out loud. "Well, this is truly an eventful day, wouldn't you say, love?" he commented. He has learned that his vampire is a fast learner to uses her heightened senses, that she could kick some ass, and looked hot when she attacked the deputies.

He can't wait to see more of her growing nature as a vampire.

Salvatore Boarding House
Later…

"I still can't believe so much has happened in one day while I was asleep. That Katherine bitch was here, your mom found out you are a vampire, and you kicked a werewolf's ass." Lexi muttered with amazed and impressed. She, Caroline, and Kol stepping up to the front porch.

When Caroline return home and informed Lexi what happened. Let's say, Lexi was disappointed when she learned she missed such adventures and even called Lee to complain. Lee mentions that he missed out on meeting Katherine since he was out like a light in bed. Once the blonde-haired beauty finished showered and changed to fresh clean clothes. She packed her mother's things in a suitcase since Liz will be staying at the Salvatore Boarding House for few days until the vervain leaves her system.

"It has been a day." Caroline agreed with a weak smile. Kol frowns at her with wondering if his vampire will be alright. He doesn't like seeing her upset. Before the blonde-haired beauty knocks, Lexi barges through the door without care which amuses Caroline and Kol.

"Honey, I'm home!" Lexi sang playfully.

Suddenly, Lee appeared in front of her with a grin. "Welcome home, babe!" he opened his arms at her. Lexi ignores him and went to Stefan who hugs her happily. Lexi quietly asked him about his health which he assures her that he is fine. While Elena stood few feet away with an awkward smile on her face. Lee slumped his shoulders with dramatically sulking. "Leeeexxxxxiiii~" he whines childishly.

Caroline chuckled softly as she steps inside with a suitcase. "Will you comfort me, Sweetcheeks? Mend my broken heart when my babe intentionally stomped on it?" Lee asked the blonde-haired beauty with theatric wide eyes.

"Of course." Caroline accepted Lee's hugs warmly. Kol grumbled slightly as he doesn't like seeing anyone hugs his vampire, but he tolerates Lee. He likes Lee, the vampire guy is funny, but he doesn't want them to hug any longer.

Lexi breaks the embrace from her best friend before Caroline and Lee dropped their hugs from each other. The dark-blonde vampire went to her boyfriend to peck his cheek with a greeting. "Hello." Lee grinned at her with wiggly eyebrows and pecked her forehead lovely.

"Hey." Caroline shifted her blue-green eyes to Elena. "Sorry that took forever. I just didn't know how long my mom was gonna be here." She picked up the suitcase that she set down when she hugged Lee.

Elena brushed part of her hair back behind her ear. "Damon says it'll take three days tops for the vervain to leave her system. Maybe even sooner."

Caroline nodded her head with knowledge while Kol hummed with disinterest. "Or you could just bleed her out. It'll make vervain disappeared faster that way." He muttered.

"Stefan…" the blonde-haired beauty examined him carefully. "You get some bunny in you?" Kol's lip twitches with amusement while Lexi and Lee sniggered, and Elena just smiles quietly.

Stefan half-grinned at her. "Yeah, I'm feeling much better, thank you."

Soon, they walked down the hall that led to the basement, which is quite a large basement as there is even a storage area which Caroline noticed the large fridge that held only blood bags into the cellar according to Lexi and Lee. They passed the cell where the vervain was grown which Kol was slightly impressed with the Salvatore family's intelligence. Then they paused when they overheard Caroline's mother's words.

"Keep Caroline away from me, please. I don't want to see her." Caroline's heart clenched painfully.

Damon frowned when he saw Caroline's hurt face outside of the door. "She's your daughter, Liz."

"Not anymore. My daughter's gone."

The older Salvatore shakes his head. "You have no idea how wrong you are about that." He said, firmly as he glances at Caroline with a rare sympathetic look.

Caroline quietly sets the suitcase down, whirled around, and squeezes her way out through her friends. Lexi and Lee glanced at each other and quickly followed her.

Elena chase after them and Stefan tried to follow but paused and went into the storage area while Kol is leaning the wall on his shoulder quietly. "…you are very wrong." He muttered, his vampire hasn't changed from who she is when she was human. As a vampire, it helps Caroline to grow. He shakes his head when he felt the tug from the inside that he is a little too far from Caroline.

So, Kol shoves himself away from the wall and immediately lightly jog down the hall, and saw Elena return to the storage area to see Stefan. He ignores them as he went upstairs to the first floor and immediately went straight to his vampire.

Soon, he found her in the living room, snuggling up with a pillow with tears in her eyes. Lexi is sitting on her left with her arm around her shoulder while Lee was on Caroline's left. They both are comforting the blonde-haired beauty with their own words.

Kol shoves his hands into his pockets while watching his vampire being reassurance by two of her friends. Once again, he was useless to comfort her.
