On The Run

Chapter 5

Hello all! This is the other half of the chapter that I stop from yesterday because it was getting long. I worked all day on this one. This chapter is close to the last one so I you think you missed something, go back and read the chapter before this. Enjoy!

Last night after The Grill

A vibrant red sports car speeds down the street and stops easily in a parking spot in front of a large brick building. Mystic Falls Sheriff station. Stefan looks up at the building still not even sure he wants to go in. He knows how unbelievably pissed Caroline will be at him for interfering but he also knows Caroline very well and she will try to avoid her mother like the plague. He has already tried to call Caroline once and no response and no response to his ten text messages either. He only hoped that she was safely at Matt Donovan's house and that any of the Originals did not decide to follow after her tonight once everyone left The Grill. A hand goes over top his face and rubs his eyes, trying to think of how bad this is going to go with Liz Forbes at his house tomorrow, not to mention Elena and Bonnie. From the little Caroline has talked about her time away from Mystic Falls she hasn't had it easy and she hasn't said it directly but Stefan is almost positive that she blames Elena for her fathers involvement. If he was being honest, it probably had not been Elena's smartest idea but it was not done out of hate towards Caroline, Elena just wanted to helping Caroline and everything went horribly wrong.

Stefan had vamp sped back home, following Damon to make sure he didn't go do anything stupid before deciding to drive back to find the sheriff. Sometimes, Stefan feels like a father to everyone instead of a brother or a friend. Her reached over and grabbed his leather jacket as he stepped out his red sports card and threw it on over his dark green v neck and denim jeans. Liz's car was parked off to the side, so she must be in her office doing paper work. The doors swung open and Stefan almost stumbled right over top of the blonde haired, blue eyed Sheriff herself and she wore her usually brown Sheriff uniform with black jacket.

"Stefan, is something wrong? I haven't received any calls. I was just about to go make my rounds. " Liz knew if Stefan was here, it wasn't for any good reasons.

"Alright look, I'll get right to the point. Caroline is in back in town and her father is close behind and probably his hunter friends as well. She won't answer my calls right now but we just left The Grill were she met the Originals, " Liz's face went pale, not wanting Stefan to finish his sentence. " She's fine just had a run in with Klaus but weirdly enough, Rebekah was there to stop him. She also mentioned that Bill was after you this time and it sounds like he is trying to trap Caroline or something."

"She won't answer if I call her either Stefan and as far as Bill goes, let him try. I have wanted a bullet in his skull since he started chasing Caroline two years ago." Liz said sternly. She hasn't seen her daughter since she took off out of Mystic Falls and Liz knows Caroline blames her for not stopping her father back when she was sixteen and still human.

"Come to the Boarding House tomorrow and I'm going to call her non stop until she answers and shows up. We all need to get together on this and figure out how to keep everyone safe and hope we can avoid any human casualties. Elena and Bonnie are coming tomorrow to and it wont exactly go well. Damon followed me to The Grill last night and you know how he loves to rial people up."

Liz rolled her eyes and shook her head. " Of course he did. I have a late shift tomorrow so I can come by before I go to the station. I have to run now but I'll see you tomorrow." She patted Stefan's shoulder as she walked off to her Sheriff's car. Stefan watched after and thought to himself "Well this is going to be fun."

All Caroline saw were flashes of tree branches and dirt as she whooshed with her vampire speed over to the Salvatore Boarding House. She really did love to run and not just since she was a vampire but back in her cheerleader days she would get up early before school to take a run around the block. Looking back now it was probably all the leftover energy she had from the hunter gene. It gave Caroline a nice bit of peace and freedom, something now she most certainly did not get. It took just a matter of a minute to run from the Donovan house to the Boarding House. Caroline stopped in front of the large wood door and straighten her outfit and curly blonde hair that was placed in a ponytail while she ran. She shook her hair out and let the curls fall down around her shoulders. She decided to change into a yellow sundress with red flowers printed along the whole length and a long white cardigan to match. She looked down at her once immaculate white flats and saw nothing but mud splatters. She scolded herself for having ran now and kicked of the dirty shoes and walked in without knocking. Stefan had been calling or texting her non stop since last night after The Grill so if they were up to something that Caroline shouldn't know about well it was there own fault.
