The Twice Witch (HP x TVD Crossover)

Chapter 13

Caroline waited for Tyler to wake as she sat in the musty cellar. She would have much preferred to be somewhere nicer but they had to make it realistic.

She pulled out The Mark of Athena and continued reading. Just because there was about to be a sacrificial ritual didn't mean she couldn't enjoy herself. And she had no idea how long it would take the Salvatore's to come or if they even would.

Though she had no doubt to save their precious Elena they would. Even if Lia had already promised to make sure she was brought back. But they trusted her even less than Elena did so she was certain they would try to mess things up.

Let them. The Salvatore's were certainly not clever and she was ready to play them like fools.

Tyler jerked awake and she waited for him to get his bearings and notice her before looking up from her book. "Hi."

"Caroline. What is going on? Where are we?"

"Relax. We're not in any danger. I told the Wiccan witch to let me talk to you instead but he insisted on knocking you out."

"Wait- are we Klaus's sacrifices."

Caroline laughed a little at his panicked expression. "We're just here as decoys. The Salvatore's are going to predictably try something stupid and probably get someone killed so we're keeping them from actually messing anything up."

"Why are we in a cellar?"

"We have to make it believable. Addy grabbed some of your stuff so you won't be bored." She pointed towards a pile and Tyler rifled through it in disbelief.

"When was she in my house?"

"When you were being kidnapped. Hopefully someone will be here soon or this will be painfully boring."

She continued reading and eventually Tyler glanced away from her and started to do something.

She read for a while until she head Damon's voice with her vampire hearing. She listened as he fought with the Wiccan, Maddox she believed.

She had picked him to 'guard' them after seeing him glaring at her sister. She didn't care what happened to him. He was just as hateful as all the other Wiccan.

Then she heard a gunshot and surprisingly, Matt. They argued a bit and Damon knocked him out before entering the cellar. He did a double take when he saw Caroline reading and Tyler on his phone.

"Let me just finish this chapter. I'm almost done."

"What are you doing? Klaus is going to sacrifice you."

Care groaned putting in her bookmark. "If he tried to do that he'd be as good as dead. Lia would kill him before he had a chance to break his curse. No, we're just here to make sure you don't mess anything up."

"Actually I was kidnapped," Tyler interjected.

"That's on Maddox. Good riddance, he was annoying."

Tyler winced. "The full moon is almost here. Is there somewhere close I can transition?"

Caroline looked around feigning disappointment. "Well, there's no chains here so we're going to have to go all the way to your family cellar. That may take awhile. Looks like you're missing the ritual, Damon."

Damon scowled. "Seriously Blondie. You're helping Klaus. I knew your sister was lying about helping Elena."

"She wasn't lying. We're not on Klaus's side and we're not on yours either. We're just trying to keep everyone alive. Everyone that deserves it, that is."
