Caroline Forbes was the 'lackey' in the group, as Damon Salvatore enjoyed calling her. Seeing as she couldn't do much except offer support whenever Elena needed it, everything seemed to be floating around Elena. But then again, being the doppelganger can have that effect.

So when Bonnie called upon Caroline to help her with a tracking spell, Caroline gladly accepted. Ever since her and Tyler broke up, she had become ridiculously bored.

"So why are we using this tracking spell again?" Caroline asked, for most likely, the 3rd time since they began their walk.

Bonnie let out a exasperated sigh, "Remember? We're trying to find Stefan, have you been listening at all Caroline?"

Caroline rolled her eyes, "Well I'm so sorry Bonnie, but I just have a lot going on right now. My crazy ex Hybrid boyfriend just helped Klaus compel Jeremy into jumping in front of a car."

Bonnie looked down at the spell book in her hands, "Then they sent him away." She said, very quietly.

"It was for the best, Klaus could have used Jeremy and put him in more danger." Caroline had almost let the fact that Bonnie and Jeremy had dated bypass her completely, she realized how frazzled Bonnie was. The constant twitches that Caroline had thought were from the cold, her usual kept hair flying all over - in different sections.

Bonnie stopped suddenly in the middle of the forest, "Here." She said, setting the spell book on the ground and opening it to a page.

Caroline quickly took a few steps away from the Witch, she wasn't a big fan of her witch 'mojo'. Even though it became especially helpful at times.

Well, Bonnie didn't favor Caroline being a vampire, so you could say they were even.

Bonnie's words formed words so quick that Caroline couldn't even catch. The wind began to tickle the trees, as the leaves flowed off of them into the wind. Caroline's blonde hair was flowing all around here as a dark cloud seemed to appear across the two.

"Bonnie." Caroline said her name through dry lips, suddenly nervous, "Bonnie?"

Bonnie suddenly fell onto the ground, her eyes closing immediately, seeing a scene unfold that Caroline couldn't reach.

Caroline ran over to the distressed Witch, carefully placing her head in her lap, "Bonnie? Are you okay? Come on.. wake up!" Caroline tapped the side of Bonnie's face.

"I'm fine." Bonnie moaned and opened her eyes, a delightful smile crossed her face, "I know where he is."

Caroline squealed in glee and hugged Bonnie, "That's great! Then we'll finally have Klaus off our backs.. at least.. somewhat."

Bonnie and Caroline arrived at Elena's house, not sure if they should even tell Elena where Stefan is. But Damon had texted, telling the two girls to meet at Elena's house.

Caroline, despite Bonnie's protests, entered the house without a care in the world, Bonnie falling into her steps.

"Find him!" Caroline heard a furious creature growl. She was certain that growl hadn't been human.

"Caroline.." Elena's voice said, trailing off as she met her eyes.

"What's going on here?" Caroline asked, immediately stepping between Klaus and Elena.

Elena quickly murmured, "It's fine, we were just talking.." Elena held her throat protectively, trying to shield the dark red marks that layered her neck.

Caroline turned to Klaus, suddenly furious, "Talking? Does talking include choking? Do you want us to find Stefan for you or not! Because you obviously can't do it your-"

Suddenly Caroline was being hoisted up against the wall, a hand clenched tightly against her throat.

"Listen here." Klaus growled, "You're just a baby vampire, if you don't think I won't snap your pretty neck into shreds, you're wrong. It'd also be best to stay on my good side."

Caroline was tempted to choke out: We know where Stefan is. Yet she kept her lips clamped shut as she struggled to un-clench his fingers from her throat.

He finally released her and she crumpled to the ground, feeling weaker with his predatory eyes roaming to meet hers.

He chuckled and turned back to Elena, "It'd be in your best interest to remember our deal."

Then, as quickly as he came, he disappeared.

"What the hell was that about?" Caroline asked, standing up from the floor and running her fingers across her throat.

"I made a deal with him." Elena said through tight lips.

"And that was?" Bonnie prompted.

"That when we found out where Stefan was, we'd tell him." Elena nodded, running a hand down her arm.

Bonnie glanced down at the floor, running a shaking hand through her hair, "Well, we already know where he is."

Elena beamed, "Well that's good then isn't it?"

The Witch just shook her head, "No."

"No?" Elena and Caroline questioned.

"You two don't get it do you? We finally have something that Klaus wants! Why can't we use this to our advantage?" Bonnie asked.

Elena swallowed hard, "He almost killed Jeremy, Bonnie. I doubt he's going to be done messing with us until he gets those coffins back!"

Bonnie rolled her eyes, "Looks like you forgot that you got your boyfriend to compel Jeremy to leave town, Elena."

Caroline stepped between the two girls, "Hey! Both of you, stop it! What's happening to us? We need to pull our act together or else we'll be the next targets for Klaus."

Bonnie and Elena shared a icy glare.

"I mean it! I agree with Bonnie though, Elena. You're perfectly fine, you're Klaus's blood donor - if you die - no more hybrids. So you have nothing to worry about, it's us that needs to worry." Caroline said, "Do you really think Klaus is going to be done with us when he gets his family back? When he does get his family back, you'll still be the doppelganger and Stefan will still be the Ripper."

Elena shivered at the mention of Stefan, paired along with his new nickname he had picked up.

"But.." Elena staggered to find something to strike back with, yet she fell short.

"So that's it then. We aren't telling Klaus where Stefan is, I'll go and talk to Stefan." Bonnie said.

"Do you want me to come?" Caroline asked her.

"It'd be best if I went alone." Bonnie said.

Caroline couldn't help but breathe a mental sigh of relief, she wasn't sure if she'd be able to look at Stefan as the Ripper.

Caroline sat at the Salvatores impatient as Damon discussed on the phone with Elena.. well.. arguing was more like it.

"Elena! Stop! We finally have Klaus right where we want him-" Damon angrily said.

Caroline could hear Elena's bickering.

"But Stefan - what if he gets hurt?" Elena asked, a slight plea in her voice.

Even after all this time, she still cared for him. Caroline could see the pain that Damon tried to hide on his face when she said this.

"Stefan can take care of himself." Damon muttered through tight lips.

Elena got frustrated and hung up the phone on Damon, distinctly saying, "Do you even care for Stefan anymore?"

Damon let out a shout of frustration before hanging up the phone.

"That was harsh." Caroline said, looking up from her shoes.

"She's just so..." Damon scrambled for a word.

"Human?" Caroline supplied for him.

"Exactly. It's becoming increasingly annoying." Damon groaned to himself, dropping into a chair across from Caroline.

"We were all human once too." Caroline said.

"Salvatore." A deep voice said.

Caroline turned around and nearly fell off her chair. Who else would it be except for Klaus?

She had half a nerve to actually attack him, but she knew she'd wind up on the floor with a stake through her heart or her head chopped off.

Damon grinned, pouring himself a glass of whiskey, "Klaus. Did you come for a drink?"

Klaus chuckled to himself, "Actually, I came for the location of your brother."

Damon grimaced, "Well then, you better brace yourself for disappointment." Damon raised his eyebrows, taking a drink of his whiskey.

Klaus however, didn't seem amused by this at all, "How could you not know where your own brother is? Your flesh and blood? I'm somewhat disappointed that you have failed to locate him. I have a temptation into taking the Doppelganger and just getting out of town to see Stefan chase after me."

"Stefan isn't that stupid." Damon rolled his eyes.

"Love makes many men stupid." Klaus walked over to Damon, grabbing a glass and pouring himself some whiskey, "We all know that he cares deeply for the girl, whether his humanity is there or not."

Damon grimaced, as if accepting this fact himself was painful, "Exactly why I don't bother for love."

Klaus chuckled, "I'm certain that everyone except Elena knows that you care for her."

Damon shot a worried glance towards Caroline, as if she was going to go prancing down the sidewalk to Elena's and spill the beans.

"How disastrous, in love with your brother's girl." Klaus nodded to himself, then turned to Caroline, "You, no the better. Have one of my hybrids in love with you. Even though you two are, what do you call it now-a-days... 'broken up'?"

Caroline tried to keep the surprise out of her eyes that he knew about this, well of course he would know.

"It happens." Caroline grinned to him, as if she wasn't grinning at a absolute psychopath.

"But you do know, a hybrid bite can kill a Vampire. Just a fair warning, so I'd stray from the love bites." Klaus teased her.

A light flush spread across her cheeks.

"Leave her out of this Klaus, this is between you and me." Damon raised his glass.

Klaus turned away from Caroline, "Are you sure about that? Perhaps she does play into this somehow." Klaus walked towards Caroline and she got out of her chair, ready to shoot for the door.

Damon looked at Caroline, "Exactly how? I guarantee if you killed her that Stefan wouldn't even blink."

"I'm not going to kill her." Klaus said.

Caroline breathed a mental sigh of relief.

"But I know that Elena cares deeply for her friends. So if Elena was distressed, I'm sure that Stefan would come to the rescue.. even if it wasn't her in danger." Klaus eyed Caroline, his eyes roaming over her body.

Caroline felt herself growing uncomfortable and exposed.

"What are you getting at, Klaus?" Damon asked, setting his whiskey glass down (the first time Caroline had seen him do so), and taking steps after Klaus.

Caroline took a few steps backwards as he advanced on her.

"Caroline, how would you feel about.. a adventure?" Klaus asked her.

"Klaus!" Damon shouted as Klaus suddenly grabbed Caroline.

"Let me go!" Caroline shouted, clawing at him.

Then the world went black for Caroline Forbes.
