Caroline and Elena; The Soulmates

THE LAST DANCE

FORBES HOUSE

A teary eyed Caroline lays on her bed cuddling up against a pillow, sobbing. The dark veins are still all over her arm.

Liz walks in and sits down beside her daughter looking at her sadly

Liz: Oh honey......

Caroline: I miss her so much

Liz: Honey, the veins, what do they mean?

Caroline: Echo's my soulmate. We completed the bond

Liz(smiles): She's your soulmate, huh?

Caroline nods her head.

Liz: She makes you happy?

Caroline: So so much.

Liz: I'm happy for you, honey. She's great for you

Caroline lets tears steam down her face and begins sobbing loudly

Caroline: I want her back. I need her

I've never left, my darling. I'm still here

Caroline looks around the room but doesn't see Echo. Liz pulls her into her arms and lets her daughter cry in her chest.

Liz: Shh, it's okay. It's going to be okay.

Bonnie walks into the room

Bonnie: I know what's going on

Liz and Caroline looks over to her

Bonnie: You and Echo completed the soulmate bond

Echo: It took you this long to figure this out, Bon Bon.

She slowly walks closer towards her with a dangerous glare. Caroline shakes her head giving her a look and the red head nods her head, sighing

Liz: I'm sorry. This is all still new to me. What's happening to my daughter, Bonnie?

Bonnie: When the bond is complete, the two soulmates are bound together by their souls. Whatever happens to one, happens to the other one. And if one dies, so does the other one.

Liz goes wide eyed in horror and fear.

Bonnie: It'll happen to Elena when she and Stella completes their bond

Liz: Elena has one?

Bonnie nods her head.

Caroline: I---I don't care about any of that. I just-----I want her back.

Bonnie: I'm sorry.

Liz wraps her arm around her daughter's shoulder rubbing her on the shoulder.

MYSTIC FALLS HIGH

[Everyone sits down in their seats before class starts. Elena takes the poster for the 60s decade dance out of her bag and shows it to Stefan with a smile. He shakes his head

Alaric/Klaus arrives.

Alaric/Klaus: Hello, class. What are we learning today?

Dana: With the decade dance tonight, we've been covering the sixties all week.

Alaric/Klaus: Right. The sixties.

He sees Elena. He looks at her for a while and turns to the board.

Alaric/Klaus: The, uh, ahem...

He writes on the board.

Alaric/Klaus: The sixties. I wish there was something good I could say about the sixties, but...Actually, they kind of sucked. Except for the Beatles, of course. They made it bearable. Uh, what else was there? The Cuban missile thing, the...we walked on the moon. There was Watergate.
