Hey everyone! How are you? I'm here with a new chapter, you must think that's soon but I promised to update sooner this time so I'm keeping my word. And I'll try to do it like that from now on so you don't wait, so thanks for choosing the story and reading it, I hope that you like it.

I changed the title because the original is related to Caroline's transformation, since she's already a vampire I named it like this (I'll tell you later why). This one was a little harder than others to change, I'm kind of comfortable with how it turned out and be ready for what I've done, enjoy it!

The characters and the plot are property of Julie Plec and the series team, I own the characters I created and the changes I made in the story.

Normal POV

In the middle of the night Caroline was a little sleepy, but luckily she had enough stamina to stay awake. At one point she got thirsty for blood, so she decided to get out of there and take advantage of being at a hospital to try to get a bag of blood. She walked out of Matt's bedroom and saw a nurse sitting at the front desk.

-It's the middle of the night, go back to the room- she ordered and the blonde didn't like her tone very much.

-Yes, I'm going back to the room. I don't want to bother anyone- she affirmed with a fake innocent tone, and in a nearby room she saw some blood bags so she slowly went to take a couple of them and leave, but was stopped by the woman who had seen her.

-What are you doing here? You can't go in. Go back to your boyfriend's room- the nurse told her again and was about to take her by the arm when the heretic looked her straight in the eyes.

-You didn't see me coming into this room. Now you will go back to your work and leave me alone, all right?- Caroline said using compulsion and the woman went back to the reception after repeating what she'd told her. The girl smiled and returned to the bedroom after taking some bags.

The next day, everyone was preparing for the school carnival that night. The head of the organizing committee was Caroline, but Matt was going to be discharged that evening so she was going to help him and had left Elena and Bonnie in charge of everything.

-Katherine looked just like you, it was freaky- commented Bonnie standing outside looking at Elena.

-She is my ancestor. Hey, I moved the student booth into the cafeteria- she spoke looking up from the clipboard that she was using while organizing everything.

-Your vampire ancestor, and she didn't just resemble you like a family member would. She was you- affirmed the younger, taking a bag of prizes with Elena and moving it to another place.

-I don't know, I can't explain it. It's creepy, that's all I got- she clarified without knowing much about it.

-How do you know she's not still out there pretending to be you?- she asked while she stared at her again, thinking it was possible that the vampire could do that again.

-I don't know, but I could sit here and be tortured by the not-knowing or I could take these prizes to the ring toss- the brunette girl hinted walking away with a bag of prizes and opening it.

-Have you talked to Damon since he killed Jeremy o tried to kill Jeremy?- inquired Bonnie following her friend standing behind her as her friend turned around.

-No Bonnie, I haven't and I won't, and I don't want to talk about Damon or anything else that's vampire related, okay?- she asked while staring at her and handing her the bag of stuffed animals so she could take them with her- I'm human. And I got to do human stuff. Otherwise, I'm going to go crazy- continued after turning to take another bag of prizes and turned to look at her friend.

-Okay, I'm sorry, I'll focus. We have to make Caroline proud or she will kill us. And maybe she is capable of killing us, or at least hurting us considering what she did to Jeremy. She can be difficult to deal with. Have you seen her or talked to her?- the witch asked curious as they walked to another stall to arrange the stuffed animals, thinking about the blonde.

-No. Stefan told me that she knows she was wrong in what she did, but she is still angry and hurt with both of them for turning their backs on her. And from what he told me, I think something else happened between the three of them, but Stefan didn't want to tell me- revealed to her the older girl, going back to checking the clipboard with her duties and glancing at her.

-Maybe they talked about something very private or familiar, it seems that Caroline doesn't like you very much, maybe for Katherine- she suggested without realising it, and the girl sent her another look- I'm sorry, let's work on the carnival. I don't know how Caroline does all of this- she admitted looking at her smiling.

-Well, because she's not human and she's not normal obviously- added the girl smiling at her as she wrote something and they couldn't help but laugh, then they continued working.

Meanwhile, Damon was in a meeting with Carol Lockwood. The woman told him that with the death of the mayor, she would act as the interim mayor until the elections were held and that she wanted Damon to be the leader of the Founding Council, which he agreed to do with the excuse that it was close to him for being part of a founding family. At that moment Tyler and his uncle Mason arrived, and the vampire started to listen to their conversation with his powers.

They were talking about the anger episodes of Tyler, who was telling his uncle what they were like and how he felt when they occurred to him. To Damon that was suspicious, more so if it was considered that the Lockwoods were affected by the Gilbert device but not affected by the vervain.

Caroline was going to Matt's room with a bag of breakfast, she thought that he needed to eat something to make him feel better. He would be discharged that afternoon, but her boyfriend wanted to go for a while at least to the carnival and was waiting for her opinion.

-I brought you breakfast, it's food of outside since you have to eat something. I heard that hospital food is gross and I didn't want to risk it- she told him leaving a bag in front of him, who smiled at her.

-You bought me something decent? Thanks for making sure that I eat well- he thanked her humorously and tasted the food, a little surprised that she'd gone to buy something for him.

-Yes, it wasn't a problem to go out and buy food. You couldn't eat something awful- she affirmed, putting her bag on a chair. She had also put some herbs in the food to help him heal.

-Really, thank you, that's very nice of you- he repeated, grateful for how she was taking care of him, and the girl smiled to then move a little closer to him and kissed him for a few seconds.

-The doctors said that you will be discharged this evening. I can drop you off at your house, then I'll stop by to inspect quickly that they haven't made a disaster with the carnival- suggested Caroline a little more serious than when she arrived and walked to the window to look outside.

-You don't trust Elena and Bonnie to do it right?- inquired the younger one, giggling a little.

-Not that much. I put a lot of effort into it, I want everything to be perfect and everything to go according to my plan. A piece of advice: it never hurts to check other people's work just in case- she commented smiling slightly, turning her head a little to see Matt who also smiled.

-Can I go check it out too? I promise I'll just walk around for a while and watch you play in the stalls, but I don't want to get bored at home- he asked her looking at her softly, he hoped that she would let him go with her to the event since he'd been looking forward to it so much.

-I don't know if that's a good idea. But I could ask the doctors what they think- she accepted somewhat doubtfully, but she giggled a little to see him happy for having convinced her and continued looking at the garden through the window thoughtfully, she felt something strange was going to happen that day.

Later, Damon and Stefan were at the school carnival watching Tyler and Mason who were playing arm wrestling. Damon was curious about them, so he offered that Stefan took on Mason, and was surprised to see his brother lose.

-You didn't put in any effort at all- exclaimed Damon angrily as his brother got near him.

-Yes, actually I did- he revealed looking at him seriously, just as surprised as the older one.

-Come with me- he ordered after looking to the sides and walked in a hallway followed by Stefan- Is he…?- he tried to ask him after he stopped and turned to look at him doubtfully.

-No, it wasn't that kind of strength but it was more than human, if that makes sense. You also feel something strange, right?- he insinuated just as confused while he crossed his arms.

-Yeah. What is up with that family? They're not vampires, what the hell are they?- he asked exasperated.

-Ooh, maybe they're, um, ninja turtles- the younger one suggested jokingly.

-You're not funny- he affirmed, giving him an incredulous look.

-Or no, zombies, werewolves- he continued while he uncrossed his arms.

-No comedic timing at all- he denied irritated by his suggestions as he looked around, and noticed a young man fixing something near them, giving him an idea.

-What? What are you up to?- the younger guy inquired as he noticed where he was looking.

-This is reality and there's no such thing as werewolves or… combat turtles- commented Damon turning his focus back to his brother, not believing that he was right.

-I said ninja turtles, actually- he corrected him so he knew what he was talking about, but the older man completely ignored what he'd told him and walked over to the man behind them.

Damon stared at the guy and compelled him to fight Tyler, to piss him off and not stop for anything no matter what Tyler did. Then the vampire explained that it was an experiment to see how Tyler, who never backed down in a fight, would react and that maybe they would get his uncle Mason to intervene. Stefan was going to try to explain to him that this was a bad idea since someone would get hurt, but his brother disappeared.

After leaving the younger guy alone, Damon was walking down a corridor of the school when he felt someone nearby, and upon turning around he noticed that it was Caroline who was looking at him strangely.

-Hey, little sister, I thought you would be taking care of your injured boyfriend- he commented playfully barely turning his head towards her but he saw how the blonde girl barely reacted.

-I came to see the carnival, and I have some important things to do- she replied with a dry tone, walking slowly, which confused her brother who turned slowly towards her.

-Some important things to do? What, check everything like a neurotic control freak?- he mocked smiling a little with amusement, but she only looked at him seriously.

-No. I wanna find Elena to smash her face for what she did to me- revealed the girl as if it was nothing bad, catching Damon off guard.

-What? Are you crazy? I told you not to mess with Elena. But why the hell do you want to do that?- questioned the vampire incredulous while he approached her.

-Oh, she didn't tell you? We met earlier at the carnival and all was good with her, suddenly she injected something strange into my arm saying I'd feel bad with my fangs for a few days. Then she added that it was for ruining her plan. And that she was going to play with all of you- explained the heretic with her face relaxed, but there was a slight annoyance in her voice.

-That doesn't sound like something she would do- he blurted confused, but got a strange shiver at the idea he had- Hey, why don't you come with me and we talk?- he offered staying calm.

-No, I'm sure you will snap my neck to protect the innocent little girl. I have a plan: find Elena and rip her head off for this as my revenge. I'm feeling bad and I don't like it, it's not good to mess with me in this state. I say game on- Caroline warned with a small smile and the vampire worried grabbed her arm to stop her.

-You're not going through with that plan, because now you're coming with me. You're not going near Elena until you're back to your normal, less violent self- Damon ordered and was about to pull her arm so she would follow him elsewhere, but the heretic had other plans.

-No one will get in my way- she said and pushed him hard down the hallway, he slid down it until he stopped and looked up a bit- Not even you- she finished her warning and left with vampiric speed. The older man went over what his sister said, and upon realising that maybe it was related to Katherine he got up to look for Elena, who luckily he found first and took her somewhere else to hide her from the blonde girl.

Stefan was walking through the carnival when he saw Tyler and decided to follow him because of what Damon had done. He could see him start a fight with the guy Damon had compelled, the one who'd provoked him, and Mason intervening to separate them. When the guy started punching him as well, Mason inhumanly jumped over a car and then jumped on top of him and hit him. When the man fell to the ground, Mason and Tyler left the scene as Stefan approached the beaten guy and checked on him.

Caroline had been walking around the carnival looking around, but she couldn't find Elena or any of her brothers anywhere. Then she ran into Matt.

-Matt. You're still here?- she asked getting near him at one of the booths.

-Yes. I wanted to play at least a couple times and I was just leaving. Is everything fine?- he told her, moving closer to her and giving her a quick kiss, but he noticed she seemed a little tense.

-Yes. I was looking for someone. But it's as if she has disappeared- the girl hinted, smiling lightly to relax and noticed the game- Do you want to play some more or do you want to go home?- she inquired, touching one of her boyfriend's shoulders with affection.

-I feel great. But I think I'm gonna go, you know, to rest just in case- he affirmed smiling and hugged her being reciprocated, but then Caroline looked at Matt's neck and could hear the blood in his veins, which made her very hungry so she moved away.

-Oh no, no, no- she murmured worriedly and tried to get away from him quickly, but he followed her.

-Wait Care, are you okay?- asked the boy trying to get closer, but she didn't even turn to look at him.

-Just go home, be careful!- she ordered trying to take a deep breath to relax.

Stefan had received a call from Elena to go see her and Damon in a classroom, and the vampire explained what had happened with Caroline.

-How is it possible she did that to her?- Stefan wondered, worried for his sister.

-Well, potions can affect anyone. They can be to help or to affect someone. Katherine took advantage of her appearance to get close to her, injected her with something unknown and we know the rest- explained Damon to them, leaning against a desk with his arms crossed.

-But why?- asked Elena confused, sitting next to her boyfriend.

-Because Katherine is a manipulative and evil little slut- he answered, smirking at her.

-And she said "I'm going to play with all of you"? I mean, what does that even mean?- inquired the vampire thoughtful.

-It means that she's playing dirty. She wants us to know what she's capable of- he clarified them irritated.

-But why Caroline? It might be because they didn't get along when they met?- insinuated the girl doubtfully, thinking of what the older brunette could want with the blonde.

-Maybe because she's our baby sister and she thinks that she could weaken us this way. A possible distraction so she can go on with her plans- he suggested with a frown.

-Later we focus on why she did it, now let's focus on Caroline. She must be very confused about why she's feeling weird or why Elena did that to her- intervened the other vampire walking around the room, thinking of ways to help his sister.

-Yeah, maybe she's out of control, now she's just a danger to everyone. She just wanted to get close to Elena to tear her apart by herself- the older man commented, giving them a look.

-We have to find her- he decided, staring at him, considering helping her.

-Yes, then we fill her with vervain until she passes out and we lock her up for a couple of weeks until she apologizes for the attack- the vampire added without looking at them, leaving them surprised.

-What? No Damon, she doesn't have to apologize for any of this. This is Katherine's fault, and maybe a bit ours- exclaimed Stefan angry at that suggestion.

-Oh come on Stefan. This is Katherine's fault, but we still have to lock the little witch up indefinitely. It's the safest thing for everyone- he tried to convince him to agree.

-Because she wants to kill me?- Elena asked, looking at them both, worried for the blonde girl.

-Yes, and also because we don't know exactly what she has in her body. We have to leave her locked up in the basement until her stomach empties or something. Which will be kind of hard since we're talking about a vampire with decades of knowledge in magic. Maybe you, Stefan, will be in favor of her destroying the town but I'm not- admitted the oldest looking at them and smirked a little, believing that both she and his brother would agree to go along with his plan.

-Caroline must feel very bad about herself. As her brothers we have to help her, not make her feel worse. She won't want us to lock her, I wouldn't either if I were in her shoes. I know that we have to, but I want us to try to talk to her first. You're not gonna do anything to her- Stefan declared gettin near him, staring at him so he'd understand that he wouldn't make him change his mind and left the room. Elena got up to follow him.

-It's the only way- Damon added, throwing a glance at Elena while she walked behind her boyfriend, and he took a syringe out of his jacket that he passed between his hands.

Caroline was nervous and didn't understand anything. She had tried to siphon whatever that Elena had injected her but she couldn't absorb anything, she supposed it was something that affected her vampiric instincts or her emotions, and she would have to wait to find a solution. The heretic was away crying out of frustration, when she saw a man in the back of a truck wiping blood from his nose. Then the man turned his head and noticed her.

-Hey, is everything okay?- the man asked her gently and she tried to resist her hunger.

-I'm so sorry- she apologized still crying very afflicted, then she got near with her vampiric speed up to the man's back and bit him twice on the neck, then pushed him into the truck falling on his back. She got up for a moment and then sat on his chest to bite him again viciously, drinking his blood.

-You agree with Damon, don't you?- Elena asked Stefan referring to what the vampire suggested earlier as Stefan punched the side of a trailer.

-Damon's right. Not about what we should do with her, but about what's going to happen if we don't help her with this. Now it seems that Caroline is unstable and we don't know what she will do, or what Katherine actually did to her. Or worse, why she did that- he affirmed, concerned for his little sister while he looked around outside of the carnival.

-We can't let anyone get hurt because of Caroline, not just me but everyone. Maybe Damon's right and the best thing to do would be to lock her up if she's out of control Stefan. We did it with you when you were unstable- the girl said so he would get the idea.

-I hardly ever had self-control when I fed and I didn't want help from anyone. But Caroline's had self-control practically since she turned into a vampire. Maybe we could try to negotiate with her, offer her our support- he explained, sensing something in the air.

-Where could she be?- Elena wondered and she saw Stefan suddenly looking around- What is it? Do you hear her? What's going on Stefan?- she inquired hoping for something good and the vampire looked at her.

-Blood, I smell blood- he announced and they hurried off in one direction.

Caroline was sitting crying pitifully next to the body of the man that she had killed. She was part vampire and it was normal sometimes to kill people for her, but she wasn't used to losing control over her instincts like that. She felt out of control and unbalanced, she hadn't felt that way in a long time and she didn't like it at all.

-There you are little sis- she heard a voice and when she looked up for a second she noticed Damon.

-He's dead. I killed him, I swear I didn't mean to do it Damon. I don't know what's wrong with me, but help me- she asked the vampire while crying with her face full of blood.

-Hey, relax. It's okay, I'm here to help you- Damon assured trying to calm her down as he caressed her back with affection to comfort her.

-You know I'm not like this, something is wrong, you feel something is wrong. Can you really help me?- she inquired with sadness and hope that her oldest brother would help her.

-You're not like this. I'm gonna help you the only way that I can. I'm going to lock you up until I find out what happened- he declared, pulling her hair out of her face with concern for her. The heretic looked up in surprise, looked at him and got off the truck she was sitting in.

-You can't put me in the basement! I will try to behave but there must be another way- she denied somewhat anguished, she didn't want to end up locked up for who knew how long.

-It's the only way Caroline. You are really unstable at the moment and you're a danger for everyone. It's for the best- he tried to make her see reasons taking her shoulders.

-Please Damon! Let's just think of something else. But help me!- she begged still crying harder. It hurt the vampire a little to see her like that but he had made up his mind.

-Okay, I'm your brother and I will help you- he promised hugging her to calm her down as she seemed to be desperate and uneasy and let her cry on his shoulder.

-Just help me! Please, please!- she kept pleading while crying and hugging him tight. She was really upset, scared and felt that everything was wrong around her.

-I will help you. Relax. It's the only way- Damon sentenced and behind her back he was lifting a syringe full of vervain to stick it in her, when Stefan appeared and pulled her away from him.

-I told you that we wouldn't do that- reminded him Stefan, annoyed by the actions of his brother. Elena tried to get a little closer to Caroline who, when she saw her, got out of control.

-You! This is your fault! This is all your fault!- shouted Caroline furious wanting to get closer to the girl, but Stefan came quickly and grabbed his sister's arms to keep her away from her- Let me go! Let me go Stefan!- she screamed struggling to get him to let her go, as she tried to get close to the brunette who stayed away from her.

-It wasn't Elena! It was Katherine's fault, she did this to you!- confessed Stefan making an effort to restrain her, but suddenly the blonde girl stopped and stared at him in shock. She looked surprised and as she didn't want to attack anyone anymore, so he let her go and approached his girlfriend.

-Katherine did this? Your psycho ex did this to me?!- she questioned shocked and annoyed, but she noticed that detail- Wait, the three of you knew that she was here and you didn't tell me?! Who else knows?!- she claimed more furious than before, backing away from them.

-Bonnie and Jeremy. We thought that you'd be safe without knowing it- Elena revealed, hoping to calm her down so then they could take her somewhere else, but she was a bit startled when she saw Caroline clench her fists and near them some trash bags began to catch fire.

-Stay out of this! How did you think I'd be safe without knowing?! You know nothing! This it's your fault. How could you hide it from me?- she asked them crying feeling confused, tired and hurt by how they had lied to her, she just wanted to go home.

-Stefan, the best thing to do is to lock her up until she's herself again. She's a vampire with magic, which means she's a ticking time bomb- Damon intervened trying to convince his brother again. The younger guy slowly approached the blonde, who had stopped the fire in the trash.

-We'll find another way Damon, I don't want to lock her up- he refused his idea and looked at the heretic- I know that you don't wanna go to a cell, I understand you. Let me help you and you won't go there, I promise- he asked her extending a hand, and after a few moments of hesitation she took it nodding.

-I won't let you put us all in danger for her, Stefan- the vampire objected and quickly got near his siblings with the vervain injection in a hand. Stefan stood in front of Caroline and Elena in front of them, making Damon stop dead in his tracks.

-Damon, she's your sister. She's scared and needs your help- Elena reminded him hoping that he would help his siblings, after a few seconds of thought he dropped the syringe.

-Okay. Stefan, deal with her- he ordered the younger guy who nodded and was about to take her to the bathroom of the school, when Bonnie appeared and looked at what was happening.

-Caroline? What did you do?- asked the witch approaching them while the blonde lowered her eyes with shame, then Bonnie passed in front of her towards the back of the truck, puzzled upon seeing the body of the boy from before with his neck open and full of blood.

-Bonnie, I, I…- Caroline tried to speak not knowing what to say, but Stefan took her to the bathroom and Elena got near her friend, hugging her while she put an arm around her shoulders.

When they got to the bathroom Stefan took some tissues and gave them to Caroline, who was wiping the blood off her hands but was still tearing and just wanted all of it to be a nightmare. But she was full of blood and that prick had hurt, so it was all real.

-I want it to be a nightmare. What the hell do I do now?- she asked herself desperately.

-Shh, relax, okay? We'll see what to do, we'll see. Come here- clarified the older guy close to her and began to wipe the blood from her face to help her, hoping she would calm down.

-I have to… to think what to do. I have to calm down- she began to murmur thoughtfully.

-One thing at a time. Now we're gonna clean you up, then we'll go to your house and you'll sleep until tomorrow. And tomorrow we'll see what to do. But I'm here with you- he said, taking more paper.

-This can't happen to me Stefan! I'm a mess, I'm a monster! I'm not like this- she wailed as she looked at herself in the mirror feeling like she was going to whimper and the vampire stared at her through it.

-Look at me. Now there's something wrong with you, something that's not your fault. The only thing you can do is breathe and relax, okay? You can do it, I know you will because you are very strong. You've always been- Stefan encouraged her stroking her back with affection so she would listen to him. But she saw the veins under her eyes appear for a few moments.

-I'm not this! I'm controlled, I'm under control, but now this happens. I feel like everything is going to explode, like everything is wrong Stefan- sobbed the heretic turning around and covering her face frustrated, but the guy took her face with both hands.

-Look at me, look at me! Look at me Caroline! At this moment you feel everything is wrong, that everything is falling down around you. But you can get through it, you can do it okay? You can with this, you just have to stay calm and breathe. Let us help you and everything will be fine, this will just be a bad memory. You don't have to go through this alone if we are here for you, just like you are always for us- he comforted her while she leaned on his hand. It hurt him to see his little sister suffer like this. After a couple of breaths the blonde nodded making him smile a little.

-Why did Katherine do this to me?- she asked without understanding what the vampire girl wanted with her, in the past she had watched her a couple of times but she wasn't even close to the brunette girl.

-I don't know, I wish I did. But like I said before you're strong. And I promise you I will not let anything happen to you and I'm going to help you when you need it. Come here, come here- he promised and hugged her letting her cry in his arms as much as she wanted. A while later, when Caroline felt a little bit calmer, they came out of the bathroom after cleaning all of the blood and went to look for Damon since the blonde girl wanted to talk to her brothers.

Bonnie was very angry with Caroline, Elena was trying to comfort her but she didn't know what to say to help her friend either. Damon showed with a shovel to bury the corpse his sister had left, but suddenly the witch started to give him a migraine until he ended up on the ground because of the strong pain. Then Bonnie with her magic opened a faucet doing a puddle of water, which caught fire and went slowly towards Damon.

Elena was desperately screaming at her friend to leave him, but Bonnie believed that everything that had occurred was his fault so she wanted to kill him. Damon was burning and screaming from the pain when the girls heard a voice near them.

-Bulla Praesidium- recited Caroline with a hand raised towards Damon, it seemed that there was some kind of bubble around the vampire who stopped burning and sighed relieved. Caroline then crouched down putting a palm on the ground, there appeared a slight red glow and the fire slowly disappeared until it was totally gone. Stefan approached Damon to help him as she went towards Bonnie and Elena with a hard look just like the witch.

-Why did you do that?!- Bonnie claimed while hiding her surprise at the girl's magic, since she'd never actually seen her use it and didn't expect what she did.

-Because no one messes with my brothers without going through me first. So if you want to mess with Damon, you have to mess with me first- she warned with a threatening tone that scared both girls a little but they tried not to show anything. Elena put an arm around her friend's shoulders and took her away. Caroline sighed and walked over to Damon, who was fine.

-I decided to accept your help with this, but on one condition- she began to tell them and when they nodded she continued- I'm going to stay locked up in my house. If I have to be a prisoner, at least I want to be one in a place that gives me some confidence and I know like my home. Not in a cold and dark place- she suggested them in a doubtful and low tone, and the olders looked at each other.

-Okay, I think we can accept that. As long as you listen to us- clarified Damon who glanced at Stefan waiting for him to speak or maybe give another condition, while his sister nodded with resignation for lack of options.

-I have an object that if you put it outside a place, it locks whoever is inside when you put it there, and only a witch can take it out- she told them her idea and her other brother spoke.

-Then we'll do that- Stefan agreed, while his sister analyzed them in silence.

-You know, all this stuff about you two lying to me and thinking of locking me up made me think that maybe you don't trust me like before, or that you think it was the best thing for your dear Elena's safety. I mean, you think that I'm a danger for her- commented the heretic with a bitter tone.

-We don't think that of you- the vampire assured with a slight frown.

-Tell that to how Damon threatened and choked me two days ago, or how you 2 looked at me like I was dangerous instead of helping me. For our sake, let's just pretend that this never happened and please leave me alone a couple of days. I don't feel well and I think I need to be alone for a while- she asked in a tired voice and left before they could say anything.

Later, Elena had walked Bonnie home as she was still unsettled by the accident with the guy. Elena was standing in front of her school locker when Stefan arrived.

-Hey, Caroline wasn't very well after the accident, but I feel that she'll be okay. I'm gonna check in on her later- commented the vampire when he stood in front of her.

-What about the guy that she…- she tried to ask him a little uncomfortably.

-It's taken care of- he answered quickly, thinking that she didn't want to finish the sentence.

-Damon is right, isn't he? She's a danger to everyone being out of control- insinuated the girl with resignation, no longer knowing what to think about the blonde after that night.

-No, I'm gonna make sure he's wrong. Once she manages to stabilize herself, Caroline will go back to being the same old controlled girl- assured her the older one, confident in his idea.

-I can't believe what this day has turned into- she replied, feeling irritated by it all.

-Not your normal day, huh?- he spoke while he looked at her curiously.

-I was stupid to think that it could be. I mean, nothing about my life is normal. My best friend is a witch, my boyfriend is a vampire with a weird sister and I have a doppelgange who's hell-bent on destroying all of us- exclaimed the brunette girl in frustration.

-I'm sorry- Stefan muttered, not sure of what to say to help her.

-No, it's not your fault, Stefan. It's no one's fault, you know? It is what it is- Elena affirmed so he wouldn't feel guilty, and he touched her face- I'm fine, I'm fine. It's just that… you know what? I'm fine. I'm gonna call you tomorrow, ok? Goodnight Stefan- she said goodbye, unable to say anything.

-Goodnight- the vampire added, and watched his girlfriend leave while he thought about how to help her.

Damon was alone in the boarding house, he was thinking about what Katherine had done to his little sister and how he almost locked her up. He was silent when he felt something.

-What the hell are you doing here?- he asked the air, and behind him was Jeremy.

-You don't lock your front door- he replied with a stake in his hand, making him nod- No, I wouldn't… I laced it with vervain- he revealed referring to the drink in his hand.

-Why would you do that?- he questioned after smelling the alcohol and turning to look at him.

-So I could stake you, with this- he continued speaking, showing him the stake, and threw it on the floor.

-You came here to kill me?- he inquired with curiosity, starting to walk towards him.

-It's only fair. You killed me first- he clarified without stopping looking at him with obviousness.

-What made you wisen up?- he asked after picking up the stake from the floor and walking around the room.

-My father hated vampires, my uncle too. They were absolute. They knew exactly what they stood for and I figure maybe I should too. I mean, stand for something. But killing you, what's that gonna do?- explained the younger boy hesitant to say what to tell him to excuse himself.

-Look, I don't do all the big brother thing very well. Sorry, I don't have any milk and cookies to offer you- he joked after sitting down on the couch close to him, thinking about his little siblings.

-Dick- he muttered angrily as he got up from the chair that he was in to leave.

-Wait. My father hated vampires too, everything of the supernatural actually, which was strange considering that he was raised by a witch. He hated them for the same reasons that your dad did. Only it was 1864, people knew how to whittle- the vampire revealed, giving him sideways glances, making him chuckle- Did you do this?- he asked, holding up the stake.

-Yeah, I tried. It's a lot harder than it looks- he excused himself, looking at the floor.

After she got home, Caroline put outside the object that she had talked about earlier, a small wooden hoop with several purple, green and light blue ribbons tied on a side, so she could take a shower relaxed. Later, the heretic was lying down thinking about what had happened to her that day when she heard the door and was surprised to see Matt.

-Matt? What are you doing here? You should be at home resting- she asked worried as she let him pass and they went to the living room.

-I came to see how you were since you didn't answer my messages- commented the boy, sitting down on the sofa followed by the girl, who was thinking what to tell him.

-I was very tense because I argued with my brother Damon. I think that you should leave, Stefan might be coming to visit me and I don't think he wants to see you- she suggested in a kind way.

-No, you've been acting very strange today, and now I feel insecure compared to you who seem confident all the time- he revealed to her hoping she would let him finish and not throw him out.

-What do you mean?- she inquired feeling a little confused.

-I mean that I almost died, and I saw how I scared you and you took care of me, I got scared too. And it made me think, you know, because I'm not in a position where I can lose someone else now. I realised that, although I was confused by your attitude today at the carnival, I'm pretty sure I'm in love with you and I'm afraid you don't feel the same- Matt declared with a little nervousness, waiting for her to say something. After some seconds in silence, Caroline kissed him and hugged him hoping to convey affection, in a moment she felt her face change for her vampiric features, so she breathed a couple of times and her face changed again.

A while before dawn, Elena was sleeping in her bed when Stefan appeared in the room and asked her to accompany him to a place, which she curiously agreed to do. They both arrived at the school carnival, that had ended a while before, and Stefan told her that he'd compelled the guard to let them in. He went on about how despite the bad things in their lives, such as Caroline's and Katherine's new problem, the mystery of Tyler's family, and having Damon there, they should enjoy the good times in their lives.

Thrilled by his gesture, Elena clung to her boyfriend and he jumped using his vampiric powers to get them to the top of the Ferris wheel, which made her laugh making Stefan happy. After staring at each other for some seconds, Elena agreed to go along with the vampire's idea of living their lives in spite of everything and they kissed, as she had wished that they would do that day at the carnival.

And that's all for now! I hope you liked the part, it took some time and this is the final result. I felt bad for what I did to Caroline, especially in her talk with Damon when he tried to vervain her and she felt vulnerable then. Let's see what will happen with this three siblings and their issues.

The Fall makes reference to Caroline who fell in a "crazy" state for the potion, she fell off her status of being controlled, 'fall' also kinda means to succumb to emotional or mental stress, which I tried to show in the bathroom scene when she was desperate for feeling distressed and that everything was falling apart around her. Sorry if I did it wrong, please tell me what you think or anything you want to. Hope that you enjoy season two as much as I am, see you!

Chapter 3 - Bad Moon Rising:

Elena, Damon and Alaric go to Duke University to seek information from the Lockwood family upon witnessing some odd behaviour on their part. Meanwhile, Stefan tries to get Caroline back to her routine, but the two face a new danger to themselves.
