she draws the short straw. well, not entirely. alaric is too eager. itching to get his hands bloody --- damon’s in charge of him. and bonnie. stefan is in charge of body disposal. tyler is gone. if bonnie gets near him, there’s too much risk. he probably WANTS bonnie to come after him. it takes everything she has left in her to keep composed right now. and composure sin’t exactly something she’s been excelling at since...since everything. there’s a part of her still drowning in grief. a part of her still ENVELOPED with anger. rage that burns bright, just beneath the surface. her mom is dead. her friendship with stefan might very well be over. and now the man --- the LEECH --- in front of her has taken the last thing she has. elena. bonnie.
her posture is relaxed, arms folded over her chest, eyes settling him with an icy stare. ❝ something like that. ❞ caroline repeats. she knows how he feels. throat itching. every cell in his body itching for just one, single, drop of blood. they have ONE advantage here, and it’s this. she knows vampirism like the back of her hand and for him it’s all new. deafening sounds, ceaseless bloodlust, everything is too bright, to hot, too much. and right now she has complete control of that. ❝ here’s the thing, see, we don’t really know one another. ---- i know you hurt bonnie which basically means i hate you by default but, ❞ she paces in front of him, arms dropping, head canting to the side as if this whole thing is NORMAL. ❝ i don’t really feel like living in a world without my two best friends in it. so that little spell you did back there? ❞ her fingers flick over her shoulder as she turns to face him. ❝ you’re gonna undo it. and MAYBE if you’re nice about it, i’ll get you a little snack. ❞
