Rose Forbes has always been a wonder to her family. Carrying the witch gene from Liz's great-grandma was certainly a surprise to them all, especially as her powers were constantly out of control. They all knew she was special, but none was ever able...

Rose was dead. Like I was sure she was going to end up. That doesn't mean Damon didn't have me spend useless time searching for a werewolf cure.
Apparently, while I was busy being the third wheel, Damon pissed off Jules, the werewolf looking for Mason, on a full moon. She was going to bite Damon, but she missed, biting Rose instead.
Caroline ended up fine, even with an escaped Tyler. Better than fine even as they finally kissed. Caroline was being difficult though as she didn't want things to be weird between them.
And Bonnie was stressed because Luka stopped talking to her. I felt bad for her, but it was better she didn't know who he was working for all along. She was eventually told by Elena that Luka and his dad are working for Elijah, and she was a little mad at me for not telling her. But that's thankfully something we quickly resolved.
Elena was also having some family issues with John Gilbert, her uncle that is actually her father, showing up unannounced and telling Jenna about it all before Elena could.
In retrospect to that, I'm doing well. It's pissing me off that the people I see as my family are going through such hardships in their personal lives, and that there's nothing I can do about that. I've locked myself into my apartment for that, trying to track down Klaus and at least lessen some of their worries, but to no use. It makes sense that he'd have witches blocking his location, but I was sure I could break through them.
I also thought it might just be a soulmate thing and the fact that I don't really have anything of his. Was kinda hopeful my blood would be good.
And no, that doesn't mean I'm now okay with him being my supposed soulmate. I just ran out of options, which is slightly less embarrassing.
And that's what I was doing when I got the dreaded call from Damon. I already knew something was wrong when he started the call by telling me to remain calm. Honestly, how does one expect you to be calm by just telling you so and then proceeding to tell you horrible news?
"Caroline was taken."
I didn't hear the rest as I hung up on him, stumbling through all the different papers laying around me, frantically looking for the Mystic Falls map. My mind was whirring as my eyes dashed around the room. I did find it eventually and almost fell in the process of getting up. I did catch myself on the table, however, and stumbled over to the map, grabbing the blood-filled cup I've been using for tracking down Klaus. I poured the blood on the map and quickly chanted under my breath the spell I have become very familiar with in the past few days.
I had their location down before I knew it and ran out and on my bike as unfortunately, Caroline had taken the car. It took a lot longer than needed, but I got to the woods eventually. Jumping off the bike I continued by running in the direction I memorized from the map.
