First Interactions.

Lizzie and Josie were calling her nonstop. She was trying. Managing things. Alaric was having trouble handling things without her.

Just a few more days….and she'll be back.

Freya tapped her foot impatiently. Caroline turned towards Elena.

"Elena, there is nothing for you in Mystic Falls."

Caroline's blue eyes pierced into Elena's brown ones. "New Orleans is everything for you."

Elena repeated everything.

"There is no one there." She continued. "No one. And no past over there."

"Mystic Falls means nothing to me."

She turned towards Damon.

"Damon Salvatore." His hands on her shoulders. An assurity that this was something he wanted.

"There is nothing and no one for you in Mystic Falls." She looked at him. "Caroline Forbes-Salvatore is no one for you."

Tears brimmed in her eyes.

"You don't know Alaric, Lizzie, Josie, or Bonnie."

He repeated every word, like a robot.

"You don't know about the Salvatore school." She steadied herself. "If you ever come across it, you don't come in. You don't look for me, you don't stop. You think it is a coincidence, and you leave."

Caroline stopped. Took a deep breath. And uttered the last words she never wanted to.

"You don't know Stefan Salvatore."

"I don't know any Stefan Salvatore."

Tears fell from Caroline Forbes' eyes.

"You take over from here." Caroline came out of the room.

Tears rolled down her cheeks. She closed the doors behind herself, she slid down against the wall.

She buried her face into her knees. And cried. She sobbed.

"Stefan….." She whispered. "I am sorry...I am so....sorry."

The door opened, Freya came out. Caroline quickly stood up.

"It's done." She told Caroline.

She stopped for a second.

"You need someone to talk to?" Freya asked, "A drink at the bar?"

Caroline nodded. Her eyes were red.

"Let's get out of here!"

Caroline nodded.

"Thank you."

Freya Mikaelson took Caroline Forbes to a bar, called Rousseau's.

"Come on!" She rushed her in. "You'll be here for a week! A vampire should know the bars."

"That's true!"

Caroline waved a finger at her.

"You know….I thought this would be a vacation for me!"

"A vacation?"

"I have been running a school for six years now!" She sat down on a stool, next to the bar. "No stopping."

Freya picked a bottle from the bar, Caroline looked shocked.

"Relax!" She uncorked it, "We know the bartender, I'll pay later! And what kind of a vampire are you? So….human."

Caroline laughed. She stopped.

"I hear something…" Her vampire hearing was activated. "I…."

She went towards the back.

"Carolin…." Freya looked at her, and after a second. She followed Caroline.

Caroline came into the back kitchen, a blonde vampire was drinking from the waitress. Caroline could hear her pulse dying. She zoomed towards the vampire. And pushed her away from the girl.

"Cami?" Freya looked shocked.

Camille O'Connell crashed into the kitchen counter. Caroline cut her wrist, and allowed the waitress to drink from it.

Camille, with heightened emotions, and angry at this intrusion of pleasure.

She charged at Caroline with a knife.
