✨Masquerade✨

Edited 2023

After the crusade of Katherine and my so-called plan, Elena hates me. I know I shouldn't have used Jenna like a puppet, but it was the only way to know what Katherine was planning. which we still don't know. I listened to the recording Mason gave me and all she has said is the name 'Klaus' everything else was Katherine trying to Kiss Mason. so, my planed failed, I sent a message to Mason hoping he has some answers on who is Klaus.

P.O.V. CAROLINE

I arrived at the Salvatore boarding house as some Katherine gave me the message "Here" Damon hands me a cup with blood. "I'm still shaking." I drink the blood feeling a little better, as Stefan Walked in, he approaches me " What happened?" Stefan looked me in the face as I glanced at Damon "Go ahead, tell him. You're gonna love this." I turned to Stefan "I saw Katherine today" " Where?" Stefan responds quickly. I was very nervous to answer or how the brothers would feel me telling them. "At the Grill. I just stopped by to gawk and...quasi-stalk Matt."

{Flashback At the Grill}

I arrived at the Grill staring at Matt 'he's so handsome, sweet, and I don't want to hurt him while I was deep in my thought Matt noticed me staring "Do you need a table?" God, I am so embarrassed just tell him, Caroline, that you want to be with him " No, I'm not staying. I just needed to use the little girls' room." I hesitated my life couldn't be easier " Skip the teen drama and get to it." Damon interrupts my story. "Then I had to pretend to use the bathroom even though I didn't have to go because I'm a doofus."

I walked into the bathroom and scoffed looking to the bathroom, as Katherine posing as Elena walks in "Elena?" Katherine started to fidget with her hands "Hey, I saw you with Matt, are you okay?" I nod my head looking back at Katherine through the bathroom mirror. "Yeah, you know...whatever." we took a few silences of me planning how to escape, I tried to superspeed past Katherine, but Katherine grabs me and pulls me back.

" You're good. What gave me away? Was it the hair? Or was it my clothes?" Katherine smirked at me. I walked backward as Katherine steps towards me "I know Elena is...I know Elena's at home." I tried my best to sound brave and not scared, " I need you to deliver a message." Stefan looked curious "What was the message?" I continue with the message "Tell Damon and Stefan that I want the moonstone, or I will rip this town apart until it rains blood."

"Tell him the rest of it." Damon looked at Stefan " Tonight, at the masquerade ball." Katherine looked at me once more and left the bathroom as I slide down to the floor trying to control my breathing.

{Flashback ends}

" She wants to do it in public. Asia plan threw her off guard" I listened to the brothers while deciding to tell Asia what Katherine said, " She's running scared. What she did to Jenna was desperate. She's out of tricks." Damon told Stefan as he walked back and forth "We can't underestimate her. We have to play this smarter than her." I turned to Stefan "Can we just give her the moonstone, so she'll leave?" I want Katherine to leave our lives alone. "No, Katherine's not getting dick. I've had it. I'm gonna go to the masquerade ball and I'm gonna kill her, tonight. "Damon gets off the armchair he's leaning on and stands next to Stefan.

"You're not gonna kill her. "Damon looked at Stefan pointing his finger at him "Don't give me that goody-goody crap." Stefan moved Damon's finger from his face "You're not gonna kill her." Damon looked at me then to Stefan "Oh?" Stefan tilts his head to the side "Because I am." I looked between the brothers "So who has the moonstone?" I asked Damon looked at me and shrugged.

P.O.V ASIA

I knew Jenna was coming home today, thanks to Matt I prepared all Jenna's favorite food. "I walked into a knife. How does somebody do that?" Jenna looks at Matt "It was a freak accident." Elena looked at Jeremy "yeah, it happens." Matt walks her to the couch "Yeah, I mean I've done it like twenty times at the Grill." Jenna laughs but winces as her stitches hurt "Okay, I'm being nice." I helped Matt sit Jenna down on the couch "Jenna I'm glad your safe, I made all your favorite food" Jenna kissed my cheek "Thank you" I smiled as Elena and Jeremy walked into the kitchen to talk.
