Caroline was in the woods hiding. She'd run far, she'd run fast. It was the Saturday night and she was in Florida, they'd gotten a flight down on the Friday night, scouted the locations on the Friday night then on the Saturday, they made their hunting plan. It had gone great. Surprisingly, Elena had been all for the 'hunting werewolves' part too as Caroline had told her about when that pack tortured her and since Caroline and Elena had been spending so much time together with the advent of them being vampires, Elena was being extra protective of her, so she was more than up for slaughtering the bastards. Kol loved the brutal kill whereas Elijah was more quick and to the point – Caroline had personally pulled the still-beating heart out of Jules's chest and she'd been beyond satisfied.

But now Caroline was hiding in the woods because, unfortunately, Kol's plan had worked. Every kill made her hotter, especially the last one – Jules. That had been incredibly satiating. Kol had pushed her up against a tree, he'd crashed his lips to hers. Caroline thought about it as she hid…

"Oh, you are exquisite, young one." Kol purred as his hands trailed up her sides.

"What are you doing?" Caroline whispered, feeling his thousand year old breath on her neck, his firm body against hers – man what was it with men back then being so damn hot?

"I want you." Kol informed lustfully. "And I always get what I want." He added and she fought it, she needed to, she had a reason… Kol kissed her again. It was wrong. It felt wrong. His kiss was wrong. He tasted wrong. He smelled wrong. He wasn't… her eyes snapped open and she pushed him back. "What?" He asked her shocked – he'd never met a vampire able to stop mid-way after beginning the kill-lust and especially not a baby vampire like her.

"I can't." She said seriously.

"Why?" He asked flatly.

"Because I love someone else." She disclosed.

"What has love to do with physical pleasure?" Kol countered and she stared at him – feeling kind of sorry for him if he truly didn't know the answer to that after so many centuries of living.

"If you have to ask, you've never been in love." She declared – then she ran.

"Caroline!" Kol exclaimed from far behind her in the distance but she didn't stop, she ran and ran.

Her thoughts muddled again. Caroline bit her lip, feeling endless guilt for kissing back. It was like her body had a mind of it's own. She wasn't entirely sure that she could deny it twice because her skin burned, it wasn't just lust… it hurt. She let out a small whimper then tried to call his phone again but it went straight to voicemail. Instead, she decided to try Stefan.

"Hey, Care, you okay?" Stefan answered concerned.

"No." She whispered.

"What's wrong?" Stefan asked seriously.

"I had no idea that we could be so controlled by our nature." She whispered upset and he was quiet.

"Did you sleep with Kol?" Stefan tested cautiously.

"No, of course not, don't be ridiculous." She whispered in pure irritation – did other vampires seriously have no control over themselves? Or no will to have control over themselves?

"Then why are you whispering?" Stefan examined confused.

"Because I ran away from him and I'm hiding in the woods." She whispered.

"He's hunting you?" Stefan gasped in disbelief.

"I have no idea. Just talk to me while I sneak back to the hotel." She muttered.
