Mystic Falls was the only home Brooke and Caroline Forbes had ever known and as the twins grew up they had become known across the town. They had captained, competed in, and won every possible competition in gymnastics, dance, cheerleading, and pageantry, co-chaired every school committee, and aided in the organisation of every event in town. Everyone in town loved them, for their dedication to the town, as well as the big beaming smiles and shiny blonde hair they had. By the age of 18 Brooke and Caroline Forbes looked like they would head the future of Mystic Falls. However, overnight their lives had changed and now the twins were being forced to run from their own home.
Klaus was dead, and so was Elena, but before Caroline and Brooke could leave they needed to see Matt, who had been driven off the bridge with Elena.
Matt was in the hospital, so Caroline and Brooke had been forced to sneak in so that the police guards searching the place wouldn't find them, which was easier said than done considering they knew exactly who to look for.
They had managed to get in eventually and immediately drew the blinds on his room window shut so that they could talk in peace.
"How are you doing?" Brooke asked their friend.
Matt sighed "I feel like shit. The only reason this happened is because I drove us over the bridge and then Elena told Stefan to save me first. I'm the reason we ended up in that water, so she should have been the one saved, not me"
Caroline frowned "You can't think like that. Rebekah is the one who did this, not you"
"No" he replied angrily "I did it. Elena saved my life, when Stefan wanted to save hers and now because of me, she's dead"
"Matt, if Stefan had saved Elena first then you would be gone for good. At least both of you are still here" she said.
Matt scoffed, "We may both be here but Elena is dead. She doesn't want to be a vampire"
"She doesn't want to be dead, and now she's not. This isn't your fault, Matt" said Brooke.
He shook his head "This is all my fault. I was driving. I was saved. She's a vampire because of me!"
"Shush!" hissed Brooke "Cool it on the "v" word. We're fugitives, remember? We're supposed to be halfway to Florida by now"
"If the council's after you, then why are you here?" asked Matt.
"Because I don't know where to go." answered Caroline "Tyler's dead, and everything's different now. And I..." Her eyes drifted to her sister, who had her arms folded and her eyes on her feet as she blinked back tears. "And we... don't know what to do anymore"
Elijah, Rebekah, and Kol had left town and Elijah had begged Brooke to come with him, but she couldn't. It felt wrong to leave town with her ex-boyfriend, when she was mourning his brother.
So, she and her sister would leave together, and leave their memories of Klaus and Tyler behind.
