A Quiet Life in Mystic Falls

Caroline's First Bite

Azalea headed home and got changed to help Elena and Bonnie with the carnival for Caroline. Who was fighting with the doctors to be let out for it. She mostly just did what Elena told her to do, moving toys to games, and making sure that the workers were happy and ok. As the sun set she continued to walked the lot, keeping on top of little things for the group. After walked past the popcorn stand, she saw Damon, walking towards her.

"Hey," he said smiling at her.

"How you feeling?" She asked him, watching him to make sure he was truthful.

"I'm fine." He told her, his eyes flickering to the side. I followed them and saw...

"Damon no. Leave him," she warned him.

"We need to know why the vampire device affected the Lockwoods, but vervain didn't," he insisted. "Don't worry, I'm just going to do some light probing." He smirked walking towards the tent that the mystery Lockwood entered. She started to follow him when a hand was placed on her arm.

"Lea, one of the ring tosses has a bunch of bottles smashed can you come and help?" Dana asked her. Azalea gestured for her to lead the way, helping to move he prizes to another stall.

She was debating telling him she was on something else, when she saw Stefan follow his brother.

"Ok, yeah. Lead the way," she gestured.

An hour later, Damon grabbed her arm and started dragging her.

"Damon wha –"

"Shh, come on," he whispered. The brought Azalea to Alaric's classroom. Where Elena and Stefan were already waiting. Once they were all together Damon began to tell them their new problem...

"How did this happen?" Stefan hand his hands near his face. Elena stood almost frozen as Damon recounted his run in with Caroline.

"Well, I fed her blood. Katherine obviously killer her. A plus B equals..."

"But why?" Elena said, as Stefan passed between the two Azalea stayed near Elena.

"Because Katherine is a manipulative nasty little slut." Damon spat.

"And she said, 'game on'? What does that even mean?"

"It means she's playing dirty and she wants us to know." Damon told his brother. Elena leaned against the windowsill.

"But why Caroline?" Elena asked, as Stefan sat beside her.

"I don't know," Damon replied. Stefan slapped his leg as stood up again.

"Caroline must be out of her mind." He said putting his hands into his hair. "She has no idea whats happening."

"Oh, I think she does." Damon said, they all looked at him. Azalea jaw dropped.

"The compulsion is wearing off," she said aloud.

"Bingo," he said grimly. Elena put her hand to her mouth, and Stefan's hands came down to his face, then back to his side.

"We have to find her." He said.

"And help her." Azalea looked at Damon sternly before he even opened his mouth. "Caroline is a good person. We can help her."

Damon scoffed.

"Lea she's a liability,"

"Nope. Not happening." She stood tall, staring at the raven headed vampire. Elena clutched onto Stefan's arm.

"Damon, absolutely not." Stefan said.

"Need I remind you of the tragic little story of a girl named Vicki –"
