Sheriff Forbes was standing above the corps lying in the shag. A rope was lying loosely around its cervix and he had two small holes in his neck. He was drained from blood. Liz let out a deep sigh and startled as her daughter appeared in front of her. “Caroline! You’re not supposed to be here, this is a crime scene” she sinabi reproachful. Caroline didn’t react, but ducked to have a closer look at the corpse. “Vampires” she whispered. Liz nodded. “Yeah, I know” she said. “Caroline?” No answer. “Caroline” Liz now sinabi a bit harder. Caroline looked up. “Caroline, I need you to be completely honest with me. I won’t judge you” Caroline braced herself for she knew what was to come. “Did you do this?” her mother asked. Her mom was never going to trust her, Caroline thought. “No, mom, I have nothing to do with this” she answered. “And do you have any idea who could’ve?” Liz continued her interrogation. “Damon, perhaps? Stefan?” Caroline shook her head. “No” she said. “The only Bampira I can think of are Klaus and Katherine, but they are no match for you, mom” she added. “I’m going to talk to the people that live here. You stay here, I’ll be right back” Liz said. Caroline nodded, but as soon as her mother turned around she flashed away.
She braked at the Salvatore Mansion and knocked.
“You open it” Katherine sinabi bored.
“No freaking way, you open it” Damon said.
“Oh, for God’s sake, I’ll open it!” Elena sinabi annoyed. How could two people both older than a century act so childish?, she thought while she walked at the front door. “Caroline?” she exclaimed surprise when she saw her friend in the doorway. “Can I come in?” Caroline asked accentuating. “Sure” Elena sinabi and she step aside. “You have to say it literally” Caroline sinabi kind of embarrassed. “Oh, of course. Come in” Elena sinabi and Caroline entered the mansion. “I have the strange idea you’re not here for a friendly visit” Elena sinabi while she guided Caroline to the living room, where Damon and Katherine were sitting. “Well, well, if it isn’t the little traitor” Katherine said, looking at Caroline. “Still not over it?” Damon sinabi contemptuously. “Have a seat” he sinabi to Caroline. “There’s no room” Katherine sinabi disdainful. “Sure there is” Damon sinabi and he pushed Katherine off the couch. Caroline sank down as Katherine scribbled up. They all ignored her complaints. “You’re right, Elena. I’m here for a reason” Caroline began. “I bet you haven’t seen the news yet?” They shook their head, immediately alerted. “Well, I got it first hand, because of mom” She paused. “There’s a new victim. A vampire victim, I mean. I told my mother I didn’t do it, which is true. And I sinabi you nor Stefan wouldn’t do it” she continued looking at Damon only. “I’m not so sure about that” he sinabi softly. Caroline frowned. “What are you talking about?” Damon traded a glance with Elena, realizing he would have to do the talking. The Stefan-Klaus issue was too painful for Elena. “You know I got bitten sa pamamagitan ng Tyler while he was transforming?” Caroline nodded. “Stefan went to Klaus to find a cure. Long story short: he got it, but in return he had to sumali Klaus. So, I’m not entirely sure whether Stefan has stuck to his bunny diet or that he’s ibingiay in to his formal ripper actions”
