Jace and Scarlett had ran to Magnus'. They heard shouting coming from behind the door and that was when they banged on the door. It opened and Scarlett pushed herself in to see Caroline, Damon, Elena, Stefan and Magnus all shouting.

Caroline had blood around her mouth. Scarlett gasped and everybody stopped talking.

Caroline turned to see Scar. Her eyes were watery and her cheeks had tear stains. "Thank god your here. I-I-I think I killed a mundane!" Caroline sputtered.

Scarlett's eyes widened at her sister. "Why?" She mumbled quietly to the vampire in front of her.

"I don't know. I had no control over my body. I wasn't hungry or any of that. I think Klaus compelled me." Caroline mumbled as she wiped the blood, it smearing.

"No. Care. Shit." Scarlett reached out to try and stop her from smearing it but was too late. Caroline sobbed and then Scarlett looked up to Magnus. Magnus nodded sadly, and then turned to Elena, Damon, and Stefan.

"Caroline, come on. Let's go get you cleaned up." Scarlett said and grabbed Care's hand and pulled her to the bathroom. Caroline had sat down on the countertop and Scarlett grabbed a wash cloth. She soaked it and began to wipe away the blood on her sisters mouth, cheeks, chin and neck all while Caroline explained.

"Care, honey it's not your fault. You couldn't of stopped yourself. You were under an Original's compulsion." Scarlett said softly while still cleaning the blood of Caroline's neck.

"You don't hate me? You don't think of me as any less? I just killed a human! An innocent guy who was walking home to his family!" Caroline shouted. The outburst caused Scarlett to freeze up from the sudden loud noise. She then went back to cleaning.

"No! Scarlett! Stop! You can't just be so comfortable with this! I killed an innocent man! I'm a monster! Your sister is a monster!" Caroline sobbed. And then in a flash, Caroline was gone. All that was left was a shocked Scarlett with tears welling in her eyes.

Magnus had ran to the doorframe of the bathroom to check on Scarlett. Scarlett dropped the wash cloth that was now stained red. She pushed past Magnus and into the room where Caroline was staying.

"Scar! What are you doing?" Jace said coming to the door.

"Tracking my sister. We can't have her wandering around in the state of mind she's in. If I can't track her, you and Alec will have too, cause you know how well my tracking skills are." Scarlett quickly spat out. She sniffled and wiped her nose quickly. She rummaged through the drawers until she found a bracelet. It was made as a backup incase Care lost her sun ring.

Caroline had obviously worn it multiple times as the clasp was rusting and had blood crusted in between the jewels.

Scarlett clasped her hands around the bracelet and closed her eyes, trying to find her younger sister. She only caught glimpses of where she was and they were faint. Scar saw a dock for a split second and then it felt like the bracelet was on fire and burning her palms.

She quickly dropped it and hissed in pain. "Scar, hey. What is it? Did you find her?" Jace asked, squeezing her shoulder slightly.

"No. She's... she's uh by a dock, and I think she's going to take off her sun ring." Scarlett told him, her eyes wide and welling up with tears.

"Magnus!!"

-

Scarlett stepped out of the portal and saw Caroline standing on the edge of the dock. Scarlett took a shaky, nervous breath in as she began to walk on the creaky dock.

"Care, come to me. Please." Scarlett said softly, holding out a hand while stepping over a broken plank.

"No.. usually I wouldn't react like this Scar. Normally I would cry it out, and realize that I couldn't of done anything. But this time, somethings wrong. Klaus really did something to me and I can't stop myself. Scarlett, please come and help me." Caroline sobbed out as she turned slowly to look at Scarlett.
