Restart (Caroline/Damon Fanfic) *Discontinued*

Chapter 33: Damon's Cabin

Caroline?" Damon exclaimed down the phone then he heard growls and screams and a thud where her phone had clearly dropped.

"What's going on?" Stefan tested, seeing Damon panicking.

"The werewolf Kol turned is attacking them!" Damon exclaimed as he pulled on his jacket.

"Kol turned a werewolf?" Rebekah sniggered. "I have not witnessed a bloodbath like that in centuries." She remarked amused.

"This isn't funny, Rebekah!" Damon growled then disappeared out the door in a blur.

"What's his big problem?" Rebekah retorted to Stefan.

"He loves Caroline, that's why." Stefan replied. "I'll see you later."

"Wait, where are you going?" Rebekah probed confused as she grabbed his hand.

"I have to help." Stefan responded like it was obvious then bolted out of the house after Damon.

Damon got to her room and he gasped at the sight of her broken window with blood all over it, shards of glass all over the garden then he looked in her room and saw blood on her floor near the window and over the pane. He couldn't hear anything inside the house but he figured that Caroline would do the sensible thing and lead him away from a residential area and into the woods where he'd cause less carnage. Damon was kind of pissed at the weather since it was a grey cloudy day, no sun to stop the turned wolf.

Damon followed the trail of blood worried sick because he could smell Caroline's blood so Mason had clearly hurt her. Damon ran as fast as he could through the woods until he saw Caroline kicking the crap out of Mason in the distance. He smirked at her being so badass then ran as fast as he could push his legs to go. She got a kick in to Mason's chest which made him fly up in the air and by the time he got to the ground to lunge at her, Damon was there and he snapped the wolf's neck, making him fall on the ground unconscious and Caroline panted.

"Thanks." Caroline acknowledged with a nod and Damon went up to her and hugged her tightly because he couldn't help it. He'd been worried out of his mind. Caroline melted against him because she couldn't help it either.

"He hurt you." Damon observed gently, seeing her blood all over her neck and shirt.

"He just bit me. Nothing to worry about." Caroline mumbled.

"Where's Elena?" Damon tested.

"He somehow smacked her and she got knocked out on a tree about a quarter mile that way." Caroline pointed. "I just wanted to get him away from the houses before he could encounter humans, you know?" She sighed and he gave her a small smile – always thinking of everyone else.

"I'll take him to the cell." Damon promised.

"Thanks." She replied softer and he stared into her eyes.

"I really wasn't trying to hurt you." Damon said and she nodded.

"I know." She agreed. "Sorry for getting so mad at you. I forget sometimes how hard it must be for you." She sighed.

"What do you mean?" He tested and she shrugged.

"In a few weeks, my mind will go back to the future and the version of me that'll be left won't remember anything for a year and almost two months. I don't have to deal with that but you do." Caroline elaborated softly and he nodded.

"If you don't want me sleeping around between now and then… ask me to wait." He directed as he watched her and she took a long breath.

"I can't do that to you. It's not fair." She shook her head.
