It's a beautiful day in Mystic Falls, Virginia but not so much in my living room. I'm in so much pain that it's unbearable. Silas stabbed me with a white oak stake. I need help, so I do one thing I wouldn't have done a year ago. I call sweet Caroline Forbes, as the pain continues.507Please respect copyright.PENANAeKsL5VhML7
"This is so not the right time, Klaus," she says.507Please respect copyright.PENANAIEQuVr2pju
"I need your help," I say, trying to keep the pain out of my voice.507Please respect copyright.PENANACRqDR2M8rU
"Fine, but this better be important," she replies.507Please respect copyright.PENANApcixeootT5
507Please respect copyright.PENANARppQeAFo62
Half an hour later, I'm on the floor in front of the fireplace, growling in pain, when I smell her scent, telling me that she's here.507Please respect copyright.PENANAXOU1mu6MNA
"Klaus?" she says.507Please respect copyright.PENANAvtLksQwRLA
"Caroline?" I say, needing to be sure it's her and not Silas.507Please respect copyright.PENANARscXs9U6VW
"Who else would it be?" she answers.507Please respect copyright.PENANA1vqLNv7NKU
"Silas," I answer her through the searing pain.507Please respect copyright.PENANAI3p5ZrQtfx
I look at her and she has a worried face.507Please respect copyright.PENANAb9mxhILSk3
"What's going on?" she asks me.507Please respect copyright.PENANA5c1Nxvdgk5
"Silas stabbed me with a white oak stake. A piece of it is still inside me. I can feel it," I tell her through the pain.507Please respect copyright.PENANAcmtEFC3VrP
"Oh, my God. Klaus, that could kill you," she says, as if I don't already know that.507Please respect copyright.PENANAqkr58LNtvU
I feel it again and it's so intense, I growl in pain.507Please respect copyright.PENANA5KN5GM05WB
She rushes over to me.507Please respect copyright.PENANARuMGxUB96Z
"Get it out of me," I say through the pain, with a growl.507Please respect copyright.PENANAKEVfnkuHBT
She does what she can, using a weed cutter to go through my upper back to see where it is so she can get it out.507Please respect copyright.PENANALuybiYb1Jn
"I swear there's noting in there," she tells me.507Please respect copyright.PENANAasKIOPvPgk
I growl in pain, as she tries to locate it.507Please respect copyright.PENANASqWzYUtNqd
Suddenly, a few minutes later, the pain is gone just like that.507Please respect copyright.PENANA8tz3hbn1vR
"Caroline," I say.507Please respect copyright.PENANA7Z37wrea9R
She stops and I sit up, looking at her.507Please respect copyright.PENANACkKfnaN94v
"What?" she asks.507Please respect copyright.PENANAHp7V4PJeKv
Suddenly, realization comes to me.507Please respect copyright.PENANAZgCzb9mZYC
"He got in my head," I say.507Please respect copyright.PENANAGn7o1fBQDE
She looks at me and says, "If Silas can get in your head, what can he do to the rest of us?" she asks.507Please respect copyright.PENANAHub1aMigjj
"Anything," I answer her.507Please respect copyright.PENANAz8kpSMtMyR
She looks at me with fear, but I know she's not afraid of me. She's afraid for everyone around her and for herself. I want to say something; anything to make her feel better. I want to comfort her, but I can't. I don't have the words. All I can do is thank her for what she has done for me.507Please respect copyright.PENANATRhSH0Y2C1
"Hey," I say, when we're on our feet.507Please respect copyright.PENANAJTqASEBTdQ
We look at one another.507Please respect copyright.PENANAbeGLizFgid
"Thank you," I say.507Please respect copyright.PENANA8k5EVNK2IW
"You're welcome," she says.507Please respect copyright.PENANAFljerOf4WN
I watch her start to leave, but then she stops and looks at me over her shoulder.507Please respect copyright.PENANAC7yxKDGvBk
"If you need anything, anything at all, DON'T call me. I have a prom to plan."507Please respect copyright.PENANAiihojUPMjr
I watch her leave.507Please respect copyright.PENANArpOJDMmIa6
I smile, as she leaves.507Please respect copyright.PENANAMynAW1Gl0S
