AN: I usually do not ship Damon with Caroline (Because of how big of a dick he was to her the first season when she was human) but I got a request for a Daroline fic and I took the request. So I hope you like it. And this is for you zoecollinswaswogan.
Disclaimer: I do not own The Vampire Diaries. I wish I did though because that would be awesome.
Caroline woke up slowly and turned in the bed. Slowly she rolled over to notice someone standing in the room next to her. She saw this person everyday but somehow she looked different. The blonde looked her over as she accessed her darker clothes, curly hair, and high heels.
"Elena?" Caroline asks as she looks up at her friend from the hospital bed
"Hi Caroline" The brunette smiles down at her
Caroline lets out a sigh as her covers her face with her hands wondering why in the world Elena would be in her hospital room when she could be with the Salvatores.
"What are you doing here?" the blonde human questions curiosity lacing her voice
"My name is Katherine" the other girl walks over to the bed and Caroline looks up at her confused "I was hoping you could give the Salvatore brothers a message for me"
"Ugh, what are you talking about" the medicine in her IV starting to effect her brain again "What message?" she slowly sits up a little to see this Katherine girl clearer
"Game on" Katherine smirks as she grabs a pillow holding over the blondes face
Caroline puts up a small fight but it is useless with the vampire holding the pillow and she soon meets her death. The vampire removes the pillow smiling down at her, unplugs the heart monitor and walks out of the room a swagger in her walk.
-YANA-
Caroline shot up in her bed breathing heavily and thinking about the horrible dream she had just had. It was about Elena but she said her name was Katherine and she smothered her with a pillow.
She sat up carefully swinging her legs over the side of the bed and standing up. She looked down at the IV in her arm and pulled it out she looked at the heart monitor that was now just black and makes her way out of the room. She needs to find someone. She needed to get out of here.
Slowly walking out of her hospital room she looks at the lady at the desk. "Excuse me, where is everyone?" Caroline asks her
"It's the middle of the night Hun" the lady tells her
"It is?" Caroline furrows her brow it and the lady nods, it had been daylight not a few moments ago. "Oh, well have you seen my mom?"
"She left after dinner with your boyfriend" the nurse informs "And then your friend Elena stopped by"
'Wait Elena was really there?' she asks herself in her head 'No It was just a dream'
"She did?" the blonde cocks her head then shakes it off "Yeah she did, but she said her name was Katherine" it is more to herself now then to the other girl in the room "Can I just get something to eat?"
"Breakfast comes around seven" the nurse looks down at her paper work
"But I'm Hungry" Her throat burnt with a thirst that she had never felt before, it wasn't for water but for the sweet smelling elixir in the room. She needs to find whatever it was, she didn't know why but she needed it. Inside she knew if she didn't find it she would go crazy
"You should go back to sleep" she stands up pushing in her chair
Caroline turns around to head back in her room before asking "What is that smell?"
"Back to bed" the lady orders
Caroline ignores her though leaning her head on the wall for a second before deciding to find out what it is for herself. It is coming from the room across the hall and it is the most delicious thing she has smelt in her whole life.
She slowly walks towards it and realizes that it is a bag of blood used for a blood transfusion. 'No that can't be right, that is gross' but a tiny voice inside her is telling her to drink it, that it will be the best thing she has ever tasted. She starts to reach out for it before the nurse stops her.
"What are you doing in here" she rubs her neck
"I don't know" Caroline shakes her head
"You need to go back to bed" the nurse orders and escorts her back to her room.
Caroline plops down on the bed with a huff, folding her arms and pouting a little. She needed that blood, as nasty as it sounded she needed it. She wanted to taste the sweet elixir that was calling out to her. When she sees that the nurse is gone now she pulls it out of her robe pocket.
Looking down at the bag of blood she essences it wondering why this was the one thing in life that she was craving more than anything. She brings the tube to her mouth like a straw and takes a sip; it tastes like Strawberries and pennies.
The blonde throws the bag away from her in disgust. 'Why does it taste so good?' she can smell it more heavily now, like water that the angels drink. Jumping down from the bed she quickly grabs it off the floor and takes another big gulp of it letting the nectar fall on her tongue.
She starts pouring it down her throat not being able to get enough of it. Ripping away the tube she squeezes the whole bag down in to her mouth. The thirst that she felt earlier had gone away, she felt so much better now and it kind of scared her.
Hoping that the whole thing was just a dream she lays back down in her bed and falls asleep.
-YANA-
The light is what wakes her. More so the burning of the light on her flesh. She sits up and slowly reaches out her hand touching the rays and it burns her. The sunlight burns and that scares her more than drinking the blood did, because she can still taste it, so she know that drinking the blood was not a dream. She shakes her head and reaches out her hand again and it burn. It really, really hurts.
Suddenly Matt walks in to the room holding a tray of food "Your mom says you're not eating"
"It's gross" Caroline jokes
"It's hospital food it's supposed to be gross" he smiles leaning in to kiss her but Caroline pulls back "She also said you were getting released tomorrow morning"
"Morning. I need to get out of here tonight" she looks up at him pleading with him silently
"Well the carnival is going to happen without you Caroline. I know it's hard for your neurotic, control freak mind to process but Bonnie and Elena"
"I'm not neurotic" Caroline tells him feeling a little hurt that the guy who is supposed to be her boyfriend would say something so mean
"Yeah you are, but it's cute so" he smiles lightly
"Look it's not about the Carnival it's just that this place is really depressing" Caroline puts on a fake smile knowing that she is going to have to break herself out tonight
"It's because you're sitting in the dark" Matt walks towards the window starting to open the curtains
"No don't" Caroline yells and flashes towards the wall 'wait how did I get here?' she wonders pushing herself as far from the light as possible 'Did the accident make me some kind of freak that has to drink blood and gets burned by light and now I'm like super fast?'
"What the hell?" Matt asks
"Just close it please" Caroline grits out
"What's wrong with you?" the quarterback asks
"Close it" she snaps at him and he does
"Um, okay" Matt nods "I'll just come back later okay?"
Caroline bites her lip and nods as he exits the room 'I need Damon' she thinks, then mentally slaps herself for thinking that 'What the hell, why am I thinking about Damon?' she slides down the wall and starts to cry knowing as soon as the sun sets she is out of that hell hole and finding somewhere to go. She needed to find Bonnie.
She quickly finds her bag of things that she had on her person before surgery and starts putting on her earrings. She puts on her necklace next but as soon as it touches her skin it burns her. Ripping it off, she flings it across the room.
The nurse comes in picking it up "That's pretty"
"Yeah, my friend gave it to me" she nods as the nurse sets it down on the bed
When she is sure the woman is gone again she takes a sip of a blood bag she had stolen inwardly disgusted with herself for needing to drink it. Looking in the mirror she notices a ripple under her eyes and reaches up to touch it but it is soon gone.
And then it is back and this time with a horrible pain in her mouth. It felt like getting her wisdom teeth removed with no anesthesia. Slowly bring her hand away from her mouth she notices two fangs protruding from her gums.
She cries out and the nurse comes racing in "What's wrong?"
Caroline grabs the woman by the throat and flashes her against the wall "You can't tell anyone" she starts to breath heavily looking in the woman's eyes "You can't tell anyone"
"I can't tell anyone" it comes out of the nurse's mouth in a monotone and somewhere deep down Caroline knows what that means but she can't seem to put her finger on it
"You'll do what I say" the blonde starts to finally get her breathing under control
"I'll do what you say" Caroline starts to let go of her grip on the woman
"Because I'm starving" her fangs grow longer and her eyes turn red, she lunges forward plunging her fangs in to the nurses neck inwardly cursing herself for it 'She was kind of a bitch to me though'
After a few long drags of her blood Caroline pulls away and continues to get dressed telling the nurse to sit on the bed and stay still.
She pulls out her cell phone scrolling through her contacts before hitting call. When the person on the other line doesn't pick up she leaves a message "The doctor says I'm good as new, He signed me out and he said that I didn't have to wait 'til morning so call me back when you get this"
She hangs up and puts the phone in her purse "It's dark thank god" she sighs looking over at the person sitting on the bed reaching out she lightly touches the bandage on her neck hissing slightly "I'm so sorry about that. Okay, now what's the story?"
"My husband likes to get kinky" the nurse replies and Caroline giggles
"Yes, good" she stands up again grabbing her bag "Okay, so I'm going to take off. I'm the committee chair for the carnival and I'm worried it's a complete disaster. I mean, and god bless Elena, she does not understand the word fabulous" she turns and looks at the woman one last time "Once again I am so sorry about that and if you could just forget that I bit you that would be great because I'm going to" Caroline walks out of the hospital room
"Forget what?" the nurse asks confused and Caroline turns around
"I don't know how that works but it's brilliant" she laughs
Caroline quickly heads home to change. And after an awkward in counter with her mother having to invite her in, she had dressed herself to the nines for the carnival. As she made it through the day though she kept getting all these flash backs of things she didn't remember happening. Like Damon biting her and drinking her blood like she did to the nurse. Except Damon was meaner about it. She remembered him telling her horrible mean things about herself and now she was pissed.
So she hopped in her car and headed towards the carnival to find the jackass. After some asking around she found him in the school.
"Oh hey Blondie, they let you out" he smirks
"I remember" she calls out
Damon sighs and turns back towards her "What do you remember?"
"I remember how you manipulated me" she takes a step forward "You pushed me around" another step, crossing her arms "Abused me, erased my memories" Damon looks back at her "fed on me"
"You're crazy" Damon states
"Well my memories have been coming back" she smirks "In pieces"
"You can't remember" Damon shrugs "It's impossible. I mean, unless you're becoming a..." he cuts himself off looking at the blonde in front of him that raises an eyebrow
"I have a message from Katherine" she looks him dead in the eyes "She said game on"
"Wait" Damon grabs her arm and she propels him backwards
"You suck" she hisses at him and walks away proud of herself for besting him
-YANA-
After kicking Damon's ass Caroline heads off to find Matt. She sees him talking to some friends by a carnival game and sneaks up behind him grabbing him around the waist.
Matt turns around surprised "What are you doing here?" he asks
"They discharged me, all better" she smiles brightly
"Uh how do you feel you feeling better?" he raises a brow grabbing her shoulders
"Yeah I feel pretty good" she smiles nodding
"Cause earlier you were…" he starts
"I'm all better" she assures him then pecks him on the lips "All better"
"Okay, um want to give it a shot" he holds up a ring for the ring toss
"Yeah" the blonde agrees and takes the ring tossing it and smashing a group of bottles
"Whoa" Matt exclaims looking between her and the bottles "Uh, nice shot killer" he kisses her temple
"They must have already been broken" she laughs it off and hugs him
As they embrace she smells it. That euphoric elixir, she could smell his blood and hear it pumping through his veins. She felt the veins start to ripple under her eyes.
"Oh no" Caroline moans
"What's the matter?" Matt asks
"Uh" she looks around "I got to go" she races off and Matt follows
"No Care wait" Matt stops her grabbing her shoulders "Are you okay you're acting..."
"Just leave me alone" Caroline tells him turning away again
As she walked the tears started to flow, she couldn't be with Matt if all she wanted was to rip out his jugular and indulge in his blood. Then she smelt it again, this time it was stronger and closer. She turned her head seeing a man sitting on a bench bleeding. The blood was gushing from his nose and all Caroline wanted to do was drink it and keep drinking until all of his blood was drained from his body.
"Hey is everything okay" he yells over to her
"I'm so sorry" she tells him before running towards him and biting in to his neck letting the red ambrosia touch her tongue and run down her throat. After draining him she looked down at the body and started to cry. 'I killed him. I'm a monster'
She smells him before she sees him; he smells like leather and angst with just a hint of jasmine "He's dead. I killed him" she starts to pant "What's wrong with me?"
"Hey, hey it's okay" Damon lightly rubs her back "I can help you"
"You can?" she asks him full of hope
"Yeah, I have to" Damon smiles
"What are you doing to do?" Caroline thinks about the fact that he didn't really have a reason to help
"The only thing I can do" He smiles gripping the stake tightly and pushing her bangs out of her face "I'm going to kill you"
-YANA-
AN: Oooo cliffhanger! This will be a slow go for Damon and Caroline and will mostly happen as 2x02 did but will change up in regards to who trains Caroline to be a vampire.
