"I think I found us dinner" he said and my eyes widen

"Are they?" Natalie asked

"Birds... pigeons" Casper answered to her

"They are so many..." Nathan said

"Ok guys let's start hunting" Klaus chuckled

"What no" I said and turned towards him

"What happened Caroline? Are you afraid of killing a little bird huh? Are you afraid that their spirit will come back and haunt you forever huh?" Alexander smiled evily

"That's... enough" Klaus glared at him

"Yeah of course... whatever" he rolled his eyes

"But guys this is serious... killing so many birds" I said scared

"Caroline" Klaus raised his voice and turned towards me

"You don't get this" he said with an angry voice

"We didn't choose for any of these to happen... nobody asked us if we want this life... " He said

"If you call this life..." Joshua chuckled

"We don't know, I- I don't know... if I'll be alive tomorrow... if any of us will be alive tomorrow... you are scared, I get that... but I'm scared too..." he said and his voice wasn't angry anymore

"Have you stopped for a moment and thought about what the rest of us is going through... you think I want to kill these birds?... that I want to be a hunter, a killer? No ... I don't. Like I don't want to die in a mysterious place under the Devil's Triangle  when my family and every single human being around the world  thinks I'm dead... but I can't do anything about it... except survive " at the end he had tears in his eyes ready to fall down

"We have to do it Car... we have to kill these birds... we have to start hunting because we have to survive... we are survivors... never forget that"

"I- I... I don't know.." I said and a tear fell down

"In places like this... feelings aren't your best option" Jonh said

"Ok but I can't... I cannot do this... I can't be a murderer... because that's what you ask me to be by killing this birds" I couldn't control my emotions anymore

"That's what a survivor is... doing whatever it takes to stay alive" Elliot said

"Caroline...?" Connor said and I turned towards him

He was unsure of what was going on inside of my head so he just smiled at me

I couldn't smile...

I couldn't smile to my friend when I knew I had to kill these birds in order to survive.
Is that what we are gonna do all the time
Keep killing in order to survive
What are we gonna do when we won't find anything
Are we gonna eat each other?
No, I can't be part of something like this

"I-I will go back to the aeroplane... I lost my appetite..." I said and turned around I crossed the bridge and then I started run.  I just wanted to go back to the plane

I heard Violet and Damon yelling my name but I couldn't stop

The only image playing in my head was dead birds... I couldn't focus on anything else...

I arrived at the plane and went inside immediately
I went to my bed and lay down
I closed my eyes trying to calm myself down
I can't do this... I can't kill these birds but I can't stop the others either...
It is not like I can do anthing about our hunger

'Hunger, love, vanity and fear.
There are four great motives of human actions '


I remeber reading it in a book
If I remember correctly, it was William Graham Summer who said it

These birds are our only way to live a little longer, I can't just tell them to die
But they can't make me kill them too

I felt my eyes getting heavier and heavier and when I was ready to fall asleep a bird came to my mind... in the beginning it was ok... but then I saw it screaming and laying down unable to fly away... after a little while the noises stopped... the bird wasn't screaming anymore... it wasn't moving either... there was blood all around the bird

But the thing that made me scream was that my hands were covered in blood...
The bird's blood...

I lifted my head and saw my mother and my father looking down on me like they couldn't recognise me as their daughter

I looked down on my hands again and this time they weren't just covered in blood... I was holding the dead bird too

I didn't know what to do

'Killer' a voice said with the disgust clear in his voice

I raised my head and saw Alexander and beside him was Klaus
They were looking at me suprised
I could see the blood reflecting in their eyes

I screamed. I can't, I can't do this

"Caroline... Car... caroline"

"Car wake up"

I heard these familiar voices calling my name but I couldn't opene my eyes

"Caroline wake up everything is fine" a voice said

No nothing is fine

"No no... I can't I can't" I screamed again

"Car please wake up" another voice said and I opened my eyes

"Caroline, oh thank god" Violet said and hugged me

"You scared the shit out of us" Alicia said

"No I can't.... I can't" I kept saying and everyone looked worried at me
