User reviews 4 Review. Most notably, Caroline also had a younger brother named Daniel. She's an only child on the show, though.

As previously stated, while Caroline does act as a mom to Alaric's daughters on the show, she only had biological children in the books, a daughter Brianna and a son Lucas. Caroline turned into a vampire on the show, and, as such, she also gained the usual vampire powers, such as super strength, speed, and the ability to compel people.

In the books, though, Caroline was possessed by a being called malach which gave her supernatural powers too. But, since it was an infection, Caroline had a hard time dealing with this.

When Caroline got pregnant with Tyler, she turned into a werewolf and became a werewolf and malach hybrid. Caroline's romance with Damon on the show was rather disturbing, so it's perhaps good it didn't appear in the books. Damon used Caroline as a blood bank, he had her try and push Stefan and Elena apart and tried to kill her in the end. In the books, they didn't date, and the first time Damon had a major impact on Caroline's life was when he took back Elena's diary that Caroline had stolen from Elena and wanted to use to get back at her former friend.

The fact that Caroline wasn't such a nice person in the books—at least not initially—is also well demonstrated by the fact she accused Matt of being the father of her children. That, however, wasn't true, and it put Matt in trouble. Caroline later admitted the truth to her friends, but not before they confronted her about it.

Jeremy arrives to take their order and Caroline realizes that Matt is trying to avoid them. Tyler comes to his mother's defense by saying they're together a lot of the time.

Caroline acts shocked at the idea of something more than a friendship with Tyler. Later, Elena is telling Caroline about Damon as they sort through stuff. Every now and then, Tyler throws in his own opinion in response to Elena's problems, but his blunt attitude is driving Caroline crazy as Elena is in a delicate state and Tyler isn't being very sympathetic about her situation. Elena gets a call from Bonnie and leaves the room. Caroline tells Tyler he's not allowed to know everything she tells him.

Tyler says he should go so he can pick up Sophie and he leaves. Caroline and Elena arrive in the Stoner Den where they find Matt. He gives Elena a kiss on the cheek and says happy birthday to her, ignoring Caroline. Caroline tells Elena that Matt hates her and that's why he's on drugs but Elena tells her that he's on drugs because he misses her, not because he hates her.

Later, Caroline watches Tyler dance with Sophie and drinks. Matt shows up and asks about Tyler and Sophie. Matt says he's uncomfortable because of Caroline and Tyler's friendship.

Caroline compels Sophie to leave. Caroline upsets Elena when she brings up Stefan and tries to apologise but is drunk.

As Caroline goes through the crowd, Tyler stops her and asks for an explanation for earlier. He says if he shouldn't be dating, then she should say something. They kiss passionately, and end up sleeping together. Caroline gets dressed as Tyler sleeps and goes downstairs where Carol is waiting for her, and she heard everything. Caroline tries to leave but Carol shoots her with vervain. Caroline is trapped in a dungeon, tied to a chair by chains.

She calls out for help, but no one is there. A mysterious man comes down the stairs, and Caroline calls out to him. He opens the door and walks in, and Caroline looks at him. He says hello to her, and she realizes he is Bill , her father. Caroline tries to pull the contraptions loose, but can't make them budge. Instead, smoke comes out of the dungeon vents. Caroline instantly begins to cough and choke. Then Bill walks in, lifts her chin up so that they're face-to-face, and says he's sorry that this happened to her.

He asks how she can walk in the sun and Caroline then looks at her ring. He slips the ring off her finger and tosses it on the ground next to her. He explains that her ancestors put this torture chamber together themselves, complete with a vervain ventilation system, a reinforced steel containment chair, and a window. Bill whips out a blood bag and holds it in front of her, taunting her and anticipating what her reaction will be. Caroline has been locked up for a long time and therefore is malnourished, so of course her vampire urges kick in and she tries to get to it.

Bill says that blood controls her and he pulls a chain that opens the window. She is burned by the sun and cries out in pain, begging him to stop. After the sunlight is shut out, the steel contraptions cut into her skin and her burns fail to heal. Bill reveals Carol called him and told him about Caroline being a vampire. Caroline tells him she learned to adapt, but he holds the blood bag in front of her again.

Bill locks her up and is confronted by Elizabeth who has her gun. Caroline hears Elizabeth defending her and Elizabeth calls for Tyler. Elizabeth shoots a threatening bullet at Bill when he tries to block the entrance to the torture chamber so he lets Tyler enter.

Tyler breaks the locks on the door and the steel contraptions around Caroline's arms and legs. She mentions her ring, so he grabs it and places it back on her finger. Tyler picks her up and carries her to safety.

At Caroline's house , Caroline feeds to regain her strength. She thanks her mother. Tyler appears in the doorway so Elizabeth leaves after Caroline thanks her for believing in her. Tyler jokes about giving Caroline a hard time for sneaking out on him.

She laughs, but begins to cry instead. He climbs in bed next to her to comfort her, as she says her father hates her. Caroline and Bonnie arrive unexpectedly at Elena's. They catch up in the kitchen as Bonnie was away for the summer. Bonnie says her father 's side of the family is boring, but Caroline says she would love a normal family after all she's been through.

Elena's necklace then burns her and Bonnie, the spell giving off an electric current. At the latest Mystic Falls celebration, Caroline, Bonnie, and Elena are on the outskirts of the event as they try to figure out what's wrong with Elena's necklace.

While Bonnie reads up on an identification spell that she thinks will be useful, Caroline sees seizes the opportunity to question Elena about her motives with Damon and if she's switching Salvatores.

Elena says her and Damon are searching for Stefan, nothing more. Caroline explains that if her father can't change her, there's no hope for Damon to change. Bonnie then tells them to look at the necklace, that is now floating in the air. That evening, Caroline and Elena continue to speculate about the necklace despite that they're amongst a group of supernatural-hating Founding Family members.

Caroline asks if Stefan ever told Elena where he got the necklace, and Elena says he never mentioned it but that she never asked either. Caroline and Elena rely on Bonnie to discover the truth. Alaric joins the girls as they head toward the door and Damon is mentioned again. Caroline then sees Bill and quickly leaves, unable to speak to him.

Tyler finds Caroline relaxing on his bed, where she has been since seeing Bill at the party. They start to kiss, but her phone rings and she answers it. Elena tells her there's an emergency. Caroline rushes to save Bill from Damon who is feeding on him. Caroline forces Bill to drink her blood to heal him.

Caroline beats Damon in their fight and leaves with Bill. Caroline knows Elena is attracted to Damon and is annoyed when she won't admit it. Elena reveals she won't admit it because she isn't sure what it means. Bill thanks Caroline for saving him. In a dark hallway, Tyler is trying to be romantic with Caroline but she brings up Matt, asking if he thinks he's okay.

Tyler tells Caroline that Matt is struggling, but he is happy. Rebekah turns up, introduces herself as the new girl, and then attacks. Caroline wakes up on the floor and tries to figure out where she is while Rebekah talks about mobile phones. Rebekah says that Tyler had his neck snapped by Klaus while Caroline unconscious is "dead-ish" and explains that he'll be a hybrid when he wakes up. When Tyler wakes up, Caroline and Rebekah tell him he is now a hybrid.

Klaus arrives. Caroline tells Tyler not to drink the blood Klaus brings him, but he does. Tyler later assures Caroline that he's okay. Caroline thinks it's too good to be true but acts relieved. Caroline, Elena, and Bonnie stand amongst a group of overly excited students outside school. It's their first day of senior year, but they don't look like they're looking forward to it.

Caroline decides to accept everything that's happened and encourages Bonnie and Elena. Inside, Elena has just finished talking to Damon on the phone when she sees Caroline putting up fliers for the annual back-to-school bonfire.

When Elena admits that she forgot about the bonfire, Caroline instantly begins to try to convince her to go before Elena says she's going anyway. Tyler kisses Caroline in the middle of her conversation with Elena, and Caroline quickly realizes that something isn't right. Elena spots a blood stain on his shirt, and Caroline leads him into the bathroom. Elena checks the bathroom for eavesdroppers while Tyler explains himself: Rebekah gave him a blood bag.

They go to Alaric's class. At some point, Elena tried to decide which of Caroline's traits were the most annoying; her control freakishness or her delusional positivity. Elena told Stefan that in the second grade Caroline had Elena help her build a Barbie castle. During her childhood in the Forbes cabin, Caroline was insecure about ride her bike, as she did not know how to do it and was afraid to try without her mother's help.

She fell off her bike and was leaning against a tree when Liz arrived, saying that she had band-aids, surgical gear, and a medevac enroute for an airlift. Caroline said that she was making fun of her. Liz applied her first aid and Caroline asked if she was going to die then Liz said that everyone dies eventually but she will live for a very long time.

Caroline said that she would always need her, and then Liz hugged her. Caroline told Liz that she didn't want to learn to ride her bike, but Liz caused her to do it without her help, and Caroline finally learned to ride her bike alone. It was revealed that her parents were still together but it can be assumed that they were having issues in their marriage and Bill was also having an affair with a man named Steven by this time.

She also got excited when Elena revealed that she was going to convince her parents to let Bonnie stay for the holidays as they've never spent an holiday apart from each other. However, her father left and divorced her mother after revealing that he was gay, and began a relationship with Steven, who also had a daughter. Unseen onscreen at the time, during the events of Season One Caroline and her friends played a "secret Santa" game.

Stefan Salvatore gave Caroline a key-ring snow globe of Mystic Falls, which disappointed her; she also gave Bonnie a gift. Caroline first came off as insensitive when she saw Elena Gilbert on the first day of school after Elena's parents had been killed in a car crash. During the back to school party , she found new guy Stefan Salvatore and flirtatiously invited him to go on a walk with her, but was insulted when he rebuffed her advances and showed an interest in Elena.

She then told Bonnie Bennett that it was a competition, with Elena. Caroline also showed attraction to Damon Salvatore who used her for his own amusement, enjoyment and to get into the Lockwoods' to retrieve his crystal. While with Damon, Caroline wore scarves around her neck to cover the bruises and bite marks left from when Damon fed on her, and he compelled her to do so.

Caroline went to the annual Founders' Party with Damon as her escort once he compelled her to take him. She was against taking him in case her mother caught her.

She followed him into a room were he found an amber crystal that he said belonged to him. Later, Elena noticed the bruises and bite marks on Caroline for the first time and Caroline tried to brush Elena off.

Elena confronted Damon, and afterwards he took Caroline away and started to feed on her, mad she had revealed something to Elena. He instantly became mysteriously weakened until Stefan arrived and revealed that he had spiked Caroline's drink with vervain , knowing that was the only way to stop him.

Damon collapsed after drinking her blood. Stefan then took Damon into the basement of the Salvatore Boarding House and removed his ring as a precaution. After Caroline regained consciousness, she realized Damon had left the party, but had also left his crystal behind.

She took it for herself. Elena came to Caroline's aid and she broke down crying on Elena's shoulder as the stress of her brush with death finally got to her. During her work, Damon uses his mental connection with her to compel her from a distance into freeing him from his prison. He intended to kill her for blood to strengthen him but he was stopped by Zach Salvatore , who was killed after trying to recapture Damon.

Caroline managed to escape from Damon's clutches by running into the sun. He could not follow her because Stefan had taken his ring. Before the Halloween party, Caroline gives Bonnie Damon's crystal for her Halloween costume since she was dressing as a witch and wanted to be rid of it.

Damon later confronted her about the crystal, but she told him Bonnie had it. He compelled her to host a party at The Grill and told her to get the crystal back. Caroline did as he asked and tried to get it, but the crystal shocked her and Bonnie was offended because she had tried to rip it from her neck. This ruined Caroline and Bonnie's friendship. When he saw that she had failed, Damon told her she was shallow and useless, leaving her upset and heartbroken.

She then went to drink out her sorrows. She starts a drunken conversation with Matt Donovan , and he later drives her home and secretly spends the night with her after she asks him not to leave her alone. He sneaks out in the morning, freaked out that he may like her. He later tells her he hated her, but she seems to be growing on him.

She thought Matt was distancing himself from her, but he pointed out that he has treated her the same since they were children. They bonded and started dating each other, even though she knew Matt was still in love with Elena. Matt's mother, Kelly Donovan , didn't like Elizabeth and made it clear that she was not fond of Caroline either, upon her return. She constantly called Caroline Matt's rebound girl. Matt was meant to be her escort for the "Miss Mystic Falls" competition , but he had to work so she got a replacement escort.

She won, and became Miss Mystic Falls. She was thrilled and hugged Elena, who was very happy for her. Tyler reacted to the device and the car went out of control, driving into a barrier. After he was deemed alive and fine, Caroline collapsed due to internal injuries. She was rushed to the hospital where the doctors took her into surgery. A tearful Elizabeth told Matt that her chances weren't very good but that the surgeons would do everything they could.

Later in the night however, Katherine entered her hospital room. Caroline mistook her for Elena, but Katherine corrected her. She picked up Caroline's pillow and smothered her to death. In Brave New World , at the hospital early next morning, she awakened in transition. Disoriented, she got out of bed because of the smell of blood. She drank from the bag at first repulsed, but then with relish. As the morning progressed, she noticed that sunlight burned her.

When Matt arrived that morning cheerful over her recovery, she behaves aggressively at the time by the sunlight. Caroline endured more effects of the transformation, and her cries of pain attracted the nurse again. This time using her super-strength and speed she pinned her and used her compulsion ability and nurse was under her power when Caroline apologized to her saying she was sorry and was hungry before feeding from her.

She also told the nurse to forget that she bit her. At the carnival and inside the high school, she found Damon and delivered him Katherine 's message, letting him know that she was a vampire by telling him that she was remembering all of the times he made her forget things. She hooked up with her boyfriend at ring toss attraction. Not knowing her strength she broke a few bottles with the ring. She then embraced him but then suddenly detected his throbbing blood-filled vein and had the extremely strong sense to feed.

She pushed him away and left leaving him confused. In tears, she came across Carter in a remote part of the carnival grounds, he was bleeding from the nose from the fight with Tyler and his uncle. She saw the blood and became even more upset, she fought it the best she could but then said, " I'm so sorry! Damon, searching for her, found her sobbing next to the body. She informed him that she killed him, and she asked Damon to help her.

Damon said that he would by killing her with the stake he had. She protested that she doesn't want to die, to which Damon said she is already dead. Caroline said she wasn't and begged him to help her. Damon embraced her but raised the stake to stake her through the heart. Stefan arrived just in time, with Elena by his side. Caroline mistook Elena for Katherine at first but she explained, although Caroline still didn't understand why she looked like her and why Katherine did this to her.

As Stefan tried to get Caroline inside, Damon tried to kill her again. This time Elena interposed herself between Caroline and Damon's raised stake, protesting that she was her friend. Damon backed down but told her that everything that Caroline did from then on was on Elena. Damon turned to leave, but then Bonnie arrived.

She sees Caroline's bloody face and went into denial. She touched Caroline's arm and she then knew the truth. She saw the dead form of Carter who she met as a potential boyfriend earlier. Elena tried to comfort Bonnie, Stefan got Caroline inside and to a restroom and cleaned the blood off Caroline's face. She worried that Bonnie hated her, that she was a monster and worried about Matt's reaction.

Stefan told her that her emotions were heightened as a part of the transition. Stefan taught her to breath deep repeatedly and she managed to get her face back to normal. He told her that he was proud of her, and she asked why Katherine turned her. Stefan shook his head and replies, " I don't know. I wish I did. In Bad Moon Rising , after a few days trapped in her house during the daylight hours, Stefan and Bonnie came to her house with a ring similar to the ones the Salvatore Brothers wear so she could go out by day.

However Bonnie told her that the conditions of her having that ring, including the ability to remove the spell on it allowing her to walk in the day if she hurt anyone. Caroline protested that she wouldn't and Bonnie told her that the urge to kill is in her " Bonnie cast the spell on the ring, but Caroline indicated that she was expecting incantations and the other attributes of spell casting.

Stefan chided her but Caroline protested that she wanted to make sure that the spell worked. With that Bonnie pulled back the curtains to let in all the sunlight including rays that struck Caroline. Caroline yelped and screeched but the sunlight didn't harm her at all. Later in the woods Stefan was training Caroline to hunt woodland animals like rabbits. Caroline half jokingly wondered if killing defenseless animals a step in becoming a serial killer. Stefan with gallows humor explained that becoming a vampire skips over being a serial killer.

Caroline then vented her frustration over being in the house for days not being able to be with Matt after he told her he loved her and he is at the swimming hole having fun with the others. Stefan laughed at Caroline's typical manic behavior with her resenting him thinking it was funny. Stefan said it was not funny and seriously explained that when one became a vampire the person they were as a human is magnified greatly after they are transformed into a vampire. Stefan was very caring towards people so that got magnified greatly, as an explanation that despite his vampire nature he cared enough for people not to hurt them.

Caroline's manic behavior is thus magnified. I'm basically an insecure, neurotic, control freak on crack? He then said they will finish the hunt and then go to the swimming hole so she could be with Matt since being with him will help her hang on to her humanity. That night as the party at the swimming hole was breaking up Caroline asked Matt if he was still mad.

Matt said he thought she was passed the insecurity issues after telling her how he felt about her. She told him repeatedly that she was sorry. He wasn't going to put up with it any longer. She said she understood and then she kissed him passionately then he returned the kiss with equal passion. Matt finds a secluded spot to his liking and started kissing Caroline. He is momentarily distracted by a snapping twig but Caroline's passions are growing and she starts kissing him. Her passions still building she pushes him against a tree using normal strength and kisses him intensely.

Then Matt cuts his left wrist on the tree bark. Caroline is mesmerized by the blood. It was essentially a replay of when Jeremy cut his wrist on purpose in front of Anna to make her reveal she was a vampire. Caroline goes through the same things she sniffs the blood and then to Matt's confusion starts to lick the wound. Then she sinks her fangs in and starts to drink from it.

Totally weirded out Matt frees his wrist and then sees her face. She has her " game face " on with black eyes and baring fangs. Caroline stops to demand what it is, Stefan tells her it is a werewolf. Tyler Lockwood shows up ostensibly wondering what they are doing there. Then the werewolf attacks Caroline and knocks her on her back, snarling in her face. She can just barely hold it off despite her super strength. Stefan rushes in and knock it of Caroline.

Stefan rolls back on his feet and faces the snarling beast who snarls back at him. Tyler shouts at the werewolf. The beast regards him snarling then backs off and runs away at super speed leaving the three bewildered. Later back with Matt, Caroline compels him to forget what she did to him and believe it was an animal that attacked him while they were making out in the woods and bit his neck. As she leaves Matt in a daydream state, she ask about Tyler, Stefan says he took care of it.

He tells her he will put Matt on vervain which will keep her from drinking his blood and compelling him further. She says she can't believe she hurt the one person she never ever wanted to hurt. Stefan tells her it is not going to get any easier, that she has to work on it that much harder. She says that she shouldn't be with him. He tells her that it is her decision that if he followed his own advice he would have walked away from Elena a long time ago, he should've but now he can't.

The next morning Caroline is in her bed sleeping. She awakens to find a woman beside her bed, again, and recoils. In Memory Lane , when Damon convinces Alaric Saltzman to convince Jenna to host a private mini reunion barbecue party with a couple of her old high school friends supposedly so that Alaric can meet some of her old friends including Mason Lockwood in which Damon's ulterior motive was to drop hints to Mason that he knew what he was , Caroline was also there at the house and walks to Elena who had invited her and Damon outside as she was making a call to Stefan after he continuously doesn't answer he was busy interrogating Kathrine in the dungeon-or so he thought.

He fought the desire for blood every second every day even when she was with him. Trust me, its there. That's why I had to break up with Matt " Caroline said to Elena. Elena contemplated what Caroline said as Alaric came to them to tell them dinner was ready. After Elena changed the subject by turning up the car's mp3 player " We Radiate " by Goldfrapp Caroline's sabotaged tire blows out and they have to stop the car. It's soon night time and Caroline has made a call to the towing company for them to come and get the car, but it is taking exceedingly long and an antsy Elena wants to call Jenna, presumably to pick them up.

Caroline stalls further by saying she will call the tow company again and use her " agro voice ". Elena offers to walk the rest of the way but Caroline says they can't leave her car. Elena says they will come back for it but Caroline belays her again " What part of 'I'm worried about Stefan' didn't sink in? Why are you hurrying to get back to a relationship that would never work?

Elena concedes that Caroline is still upset over Matt but not to project it on her Stefan. Caroline denies she is projecting saying. Elena, stunned ask were her out burst came from. Caroline says she is trying to be her friend but Elena is unappreciative and tells her to stop trying.

The tow truck finally approaches and Elena says she is going to walk, but then Caroline grabs her by the arm pleading not to go, but too tightly causing Elena to say she is hurting her.

Caroline practically begging says don't leave her alone. The truck stops besides them and the driver inquires if they are the ones who called in the flat tire. Later at the Mystic Grill Caroline is in the Grill's lavatory at the sink freshening up in the mirror.

Then she hears footsteps and Katherine appears in the reflection. Caroline turns around with trepidation. Katherine is angry because Caroline didn't do exactly what she said and occupy Elena and keep her from returning home and contacting Stefan Elena came home just as Katherine " escaped " from Stefan and menace Elena.

Caroline told her that she did all she could to convince Elena that her relationship with Stefan was doomed. As Katherine menacingly stepped forward Caroline said she thought she got to her. I've already killed you once, I can easily do it again. Soon after she had a frightening face to face confrontation with Katherine, Elena walks into the Mystic Grill with Stefan.

Caroline is there and calls Elena over and she apologizes to Elena about how she acted and what she said. But Elena admits that what Caroline was saying earlier was right but it was hard for her to admit it.

Caroline is surprised that Elena is not mad and Elena tells her she was just being a good friend. Caroline apologizes again.

Elena wordlessly accepts it and goes over to where Stefan was sitting. There they discuss what Kathrine said to Stefan about the two of them breaking up. Elena is incredulous at the suggestion that they should do what Katherine wants in order to keep Elena safe.

He tells her she is sadistic and used to getting her way. Elena doesn't like it that he is letting Katherine have so much power over their relationship. Meanwhile Caroline is hearing every word. Elena tells Stefan that Katherine wants them to fight and get between them. With apparent realization that that was it; after a moments pause as she absorbed the importance of the moment, she gets up and leaves the Grill.

Caroline heard the break up but isn't at all pleased. Damon is also at the Grill and he also heard everything. He has an ever so slight Mona Lisa smile hearing them break up. When Stefan and Elena are alone again at Elena's house it is revealed that the breakup was all a ruse put on knowing that Caroline would hear and report back to Katherine. They decide not to tell Damon, who also overheard the false break up to better convince Katherine of its legitimacy.

In Kill or Be Killed , a few days later Elizabeth Forbes is getting ready for another of the towns many functions, this time the Mystic Falls Historical Society Volunteer Day which Caroline signed her up for but believed she find an excuse to be off.

However, Elizabeth is enthusiastic about the prospect of sharing the entire day with. Speaking of Elena she tells her mother that she and Stefan are going through a rough patch.

Her mother ask if everything is going okay with her meaning Caroline. Caroline says she is fine but Elizabeth notes that she seemed different some how. Caroline protest that she is fine but Elizabeth comes back saying that while Caroline thinks that her mother doesn't notice things like that, she does. She ask trying to comfort what is wrong.

Defensive, Caroline says " You know, there's pretending to be mother and then there's reality. Let's not push our luck okay? At the function Caroline described to Elena that Elizabeth is all of a sudden " mother of the year " when she was trying to avoid her the most. Caroline noted Elena's apparent boredom and says she is just babbling; but Elena encourages her to go on and she does, Caroline saying she was bitchy to her mother which was " Elena seemed preoccupied despite what she said so Caroline asked how things were with her and Stefan and if she heard from him " No, not since the fight " Elena lied referring to the " break up " at the Mystic Grill.

She tells Caroline that he has been pushing her away from him because a jealous Katherine might hurt her and she doesn't know how to change her mind. Caroline puts down her brush and goes over to say to her that perhaps that Stefan has a point because Katherine is dangerous. Continuing the lie as her best friend looks at her intently Elena says that she knows that Katherine is dangerous and that Stefan is trying to protect her, but it felt like giving up, that they were stronger than that.

To that Caroline just shrugs regretfully. A few minutes later, still applying wood stain to the facilities Caroline notes the longing looks between Elena and Stefan and comments on it to Elena. Elena puts down her brush and says she is going to go talk to him.

Caroline tries to talk her out of it but Elena blows past her heading for Stefan frustrating her. As Elena heads for her alleged ex-boyfriend Damon comes up behind Caroline asking what is Elena's problem. He then asks why she was being such a bitch to her mother. The two go into their act. With her asking if he still cares about Katherine and Stefan saying don't turn it into something it is not. Damon starts to listen in on the conversation as well.

She ask if it is not up for discussion. Stefan then says he is not saying that only that there are ears on them and looks in the direction of both Caroline and Damon who both badly pretend to be minding their own businesses. The keep going through the act with Elena perhaps not acting, bewildered as to why she and Katherine look so much alike.

He tells her that she is reaching and he is not Damon. She tells him not to bring Damon into it. Stefan says he can't do this anymore. Forty feet away and having heard everything Damon says to a displeased Caroline " Relationships are about communication ". Caroline gives Damon a dirty look and she takes off after her friend. Minutes later Caroline catches up to her as she sits next to a small waterfall plucking leaves off a plant. Sitting down besides her she ask if she is okay.

Maybe it is for the best " Caroline says. Angry appearing Elena snaps at her saying none of this is for the best. She then immediately apologies and didn't mean to take it out on her saying to Caroline that she was only being a good friend. Caroline slightly shakes her head at that knowing that she wasn't being a good friend to Elena. I'm not being a good friend at all " Elena looks surprised at the near confession. However Caroline sees her mother on a cell phone leaving the park grounds.

Perhaps using a bit of super-speed Caroline catches up to Elizabeth, asking her what is wrong. She says nothing as she hangs up and closes the cellphone. Elizabeth says it is work, meaning police business. Caroline going back to bitchy mode and folded arms says " It always is ". By this time Elena has caught up and ask what is going on. Minutes later they are both climbing up to higher ground so Caroline can hear her surroundings better.

Elena tries to speak again but get shushed. Caroline picks up the various park sounds:, a lawn mower, a workman hammering nails, girls playing high speed patty cake. Then Caroline hears Damon and Stefan and then rapid gunshots. Caroline says it was Stefan and Damon and she takes off running but at human speed so Elena can keep up. A few minutes later Caroline stops short and Elena blows past her asking what is it? Caroline finds blood on a leaf of a bush.

They both have fear filed looks on their faces but just then Mason Lockwood comes up behind them wondering what they were doing there. Ignoring the question Elena ask where is Stefan, Mason, with a hard face, says he did see him or Damon and walks closer to the two. Elena ask where are they.

I'll let your friend sniff them out " he says sardonically to Caroline. Caroline looks at Mason with a hard face as well. Mason ask hostilely. Caroline is taken aback that he knows. She makes a move about to go into super-speed to attack him, but Mason grabs Elena and puts her in a figure 4 rear naked choke hold.

Caroline stops in her tracks as Mason threatens to snap Elena's neck. Sounding a little like she was reassuring herself as well as warning Mason she says " I can take you " " Wanna bet? Now sounding totally defiant she says " Yeah I do! She tears Elena out of his arms, grabs his football player physique by his purple V neck Tee shirt and push him up against a tree probably 20 feet away and grab his neck with her right hand, with him letting out a yelp as he slams against the bark; all in less than three seconds.
