Caroline was standing at the edge of the woods, waiting for Matt. They would meet each other here, to have lunch. She was about to call him, when she saw him coming her way. “Sorry I’m late” Matt apologized. “I was occupied by this annoying kid who had all sorts of questions about me. I didn’t even know who she was” Caroline pulled a wondering face. “What kind of questions?” she carefully asked. She motioned with her head to the woods and they started walking. Matt shrugged. “She asked if I believed in monsters. I don’t know where it was coming from, she just started talking to me. It was after you called me back to meet. I told her to mind her own business, but she said I should lower my voice” Caroline widened her eyes. “Oh my God, I know who you’re talking about” “Really?” Matt asked slightly surprised. Caroline heavily nodded. “Yes. Brown hair, very curly, shoulder length?” “Yeah” “Green eyes, with a little grey around the irises?” “Hm-hm” “That’s her” Caroline said. “I met her at the Grill, she was eavesdropping my conversation with you when you called me earlier and she told me the exact same thing. That I should lower my voice” Matt scratched his head, to express his confusion. “Who is she?” “I might have a suspicion” Caroline said. “I just need to get my hands on my mom’s files” “Why?” “Because I think she’s a vampire” Caroline said. She paused for a minute. “One that can bring us to Stefan”
Present Day
“She suggested to stay with her so we could catch up, but I already promised Keith to stay with him. But we spent more time together. When Mayor Lockwood died I returned, but you know that. You basically stalked me with your calls to get you out of trouble. How many nights did you spend in jail?” Kelsey chuckled. Then she sighed. “If I had foreseen this I would’ve enjoyed those little moments”
Amber didn’t react.
“Amber, sweetie, did you fall asleep?” Kelsey asked with a squeezed voice, knowing better. She pulled her sister up, taking her face in her hands. “Come on, it’s night. You’re a vampire, you should be awake” she said with a trembling voice.
But Amber still didn’t show any sign of life.
“Amber?” Kelsey sobbed, tears rolling over her cheeks and she held her little sister tightly in her arms. The moon slowly rose…
