Caroline awoke to find herself tangled up with the hard ground beneath her body. She waited patiently, hoping memories of the previous night would soon flood back to her mind, but nothing seemed to happen. Her hand quickly flew to her stomach, allowing her to release a loud sigh of relief. She turned her head in all directions but saw nothing more than trees. Where was she anyway?
"God," moaned a loud male's voice, "what the hell happened?"
Caroline's head snapped quickly towards the direction of the voice. There, no more than five feet away from her, laid a very naked Tyler Lockwood.
"Tyler?" she asked in a small voice, "Why are we alone in the forest and why are you without clothes? Did we…?"
"Huh?" he shouted as he raised an eyebrow, instantly reacting and covering himself, "Throw me your jacket, something. Stop looking at me Care, I know I'm hot and everything but you're with Matt. The last thing I remember was arguing with you."
"You okay?" she asked before pushing herself up quickly. She walked over to Tyler, throwing him her blue-jean jacket in the process. He laughed to himself, almost as if he thought something was funny.
"We're alone, in the middle of nowhere. I have no clue what city we're in, or if we're in a totally different state. You're pregnant, with twins, and I have absolutely no idea what happened last night. And you're asking me if I'm okay?" he said with disbelief, causing Caroline to feel as if she had said something wrong.
"Well Tyler," she started as she kneeled beside the young man, "I'm scared. I'm more scared than I have ever been. But I'm more worried about you. Something's up Tyler."
"You think I don't know that Caroline? How many times have you heard of someone waking up naked in the middle of a forest without alcohol being involved with no memory of the previous night? Something is definitely up Caroline. And I don't need you to remind me every five seconds!" he roared, as he clenched his fist, punching the nearest tree. She stood quietly, softly shaking to herself. He turned around slowly. Small tears were now escaping Caroline's eyes, along with the sound of a small girl.
"Care, No Care, I'm sorry, sh," he whispered as he pulled her into a soft embrace, "I'm sorry. I've just been so angry lately, and I have no idea why."

Damon sat alone in the darkness of the living room, slowly sipping on a glass of scotch. He gazed into the fire, allowing himself to become deeply lost in thought. Elena. He smiled to himself. Dear sweet Elena was no longer Stefan's, but now finally his, and only his. After a century of living alone, it was nice to know that something was finally his.
He chuckled, amazed by what he had landed himself upon. Growing up, everyone had always favored Stefan. His own father had chosen to love and support Stefan while he harsh fully disgraced Damon. His whole childhood had been nothing but constantly trying to win over his father's affection, but the dying bastard had no intentions of ever loving his eldest son. Then there was Katerina Petrova, his first compelled love, Elena's doppelganger. The heartless bitch had chosen to play with both his and his own brother's heart. But as always, she had chosen Stefan instead of Damon. And finally Elena Gilbert. At first she had instantly connected with Stefan, but Damon refused to give up. He'd been the one who saw her first, he was the one who watched to be sure that she was being protected at all times. She was his true love. And he finally won her over.
"There you are," whispered a female's voice as she slid into the empty spot besides her soon-to-be-husband, "Your dog has been looking everywhere for you."
Damon smirked, good old Stefan sure loved to be with him. "He probably got tired of seeing Meredith. I know if I were him I surely would. Well, even as myself I still get tired of looking at her."
"Damon, be nice," Elena warned, "You have nice inside of you, you know?"
"Thanks to you," he replied slowly, "I have humanity, I always have. I just wish to avoid using it, but with you, there's no way to avoid it."
"You've come a long way Damon, I'm proud of you of you. That's why I love you," she smiled before quickly giving him a kiss on the cheek.
"That's it? You mean you don't love me for my incredible looks, and hot body?" he smirked. Although he was in love, he was still the same cocky Damon that loved to tease before pleasing.
"I think it might have been buttoning up your shirt that won me over," she laughed, "But just a little bit."
"For someone who was dating my brother, you sure seemed to be around me a lot when I was shirtless. You have some explaining to do, Elena," stated Damon.
"No, I think it was every time I came around, you made you sure to be shirtless, Damon. Don't get the stories mixed up," she teased before leaving the dark room silently.
"Elena," Damon called out, "Can I bring you somewhere? Just us?"
"Can I trust you," she replied, remembering the conversation they had the weekend Damon had kidnapped her.
"Just get ready," he replied, being sure to add a hint of sarcasm behind his voice.

"Where the hell is Caroline, I know you have something to do with this," shouted Matt as he forcefully pulled Madeline to the side. She looked at him slowly, causing herself to calm down.
"You assume too much, and I'd speak more calmly if I were you," she replied sternly, "Now if you excuse me, I would actually like to go out looking for her instead of accusing people of knowing where she may be. Because actually, I have no worldly idea where she or Tyler is. Now goodbye."
"All I want is my girlfriend back. That's all I care about. I know something is different about you but that doesn't matter. Just give me Caroline back," he said quietly.
"You want to know something Matt? Things really aren't what they seem, and you should never trust anyone. Something is different about me, and I tell you one thing, what you have with Caroline, it won't last. It might last a year or two from now, but I promise you, she's been chosen. You won't be in the picture once he changes. Just giving you the heads up," she answered.
"Once he changes? What are you talking about Madeline? If you know something you have to tell me. I don't care what you say, but I will be with Caroline for the rest of my life," commented Matt.
"Would you stay with her for the rest of your life is she wasn't pregnant? Or would you stay with her if you found someone else?" Madeline replied, "Take it as you want, I'm not saying anything, but you better listen up Matt. I don't give a damn about you, or anyone else for that matter. Caroline is my friend and she will be in my life for a while. Tyler is my friend also. Now if you ever, and I mean ever, come at me with that sort of attitude again, I will rip you to shreds. Now like I said before, goodbye."

"We have to eat. And I'm starving," Caroline sighed as she leaned up against a tree. They'd been walking for hours and seemed to be making no progress at all.
"I know." Tyler replied harshly. Ever since the fight they'd gotten into earlier, he'd been making it a point to give Caroline the cold shoulder.
"Okay Tyler, this is killing me. I don't know what to do to make you happy. I try helping you but you don't want my help. I try being a friend to you but you don't want friends. I can be very mean you know? I can be a bitch if I want to. I'm sorry I'm talking so much but when I get upset I talk, so don't fuss at me anymore or I will never get to shut up. Like this one time-" Caroline said quickly, causing Tyler to stop slowly. He pressed his finger against his lips, causing her to hush.
"You heard that?" he whispered, slowly looking around the forest. He moved closer to Caroline, putting his arms around her incase any danger would emerge.
"Tyler, chill, it's just Elena," laughed Caroline as she noticed the tan girl walking slowly towards the two of them. Her hair hung in lose curls as she playfully bit her finger.
"Two werewolves in one? How lucky am I?" she smirked, "I'm Katherine. Nice to meet you."
