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.513Please respect copyright.PENANAbDSgb8qqnU
"This is so not the right time, Klaus," she says.513Please respect copyright.PENANA7DvEgmkpTs
"I need your help," I say, trying to keep the pain out of my voice.513Please respect copyright.PENANAEDPThqpgZ7
"Fine, but this better be important," she replies.513Please respect copyright.PENANAER8xTNkjNR
513Please respect copyright.PENANA7QyYi6WEjT
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.513Please respect copyright.PENANAikRggrH1zF
"Klaus?" she says.513Please respect copyright.PENANAIF2kiAIgtg
"Caroline?" I say, needing to be sure it's her and not Silas.513Please respect copyright.PENANAaEq4nHLVr1
"Who else would it be?" she answers.513Please respect copyright.PENANAFIwSzotFfj
"Silas," I answer her through the searing pain.513Please respect copyright.PENANABiQ28tg14G
I look at her and she has a worried face.513Please respect copyright.PENANApb5JrfByRC
"What's going on?" she asks me.513Please respect copyright.PENANA3zWdjebUKU
"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.513Please respect copyright.PENANAXa8qUz7ABG
"Oh, my God. Klaus, that could kill you," she says, as if I don't already know that.513Please respect copyright.PENANAxnYeTmcu46
I feel it again and it's so intense, I growl in pain.513Please respect copyright.PENANArOc1Y9Hwdw
She rushes over to me.513Please respect copyright.PENANA9maERFvUQK
"Get it out of me," I say through the pain, with a growl.513Please respect copyright.PENANAmq7Gw2iq8d
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.513Please respect copyright.PENANAYywbmvliri
"I swear there's noting in there," she tells me.513Please respect copyright.PENANAllu1DybJEI
I growl in pain, as she tries to locate it.513Please respect copyright.PENANAkXJXHDpFYU
Suddenly, a few minutes later, the pain is gone just like that.513Please respect copyright.PENANA3lXLS7dmxr
"Caroline," I say.513Please respect copyright.PENANAZSOcBM7a9g
She stops and I sit up, looking at her.513Please respect copyright.PENANAgUQ2DiNP7y
"What?" she asks.513Please respect copyright.PENANATv1p9TeQIN
Suddenly, realization comes to me.513Please respect copyright.PENANAIvfb4bHsKm
"He got in my head," I say.513Please respect copyright.PENANAKnH5Lllzo6
She looks at me and says, "If Silas can get in your head, what can he do to the rest of us?" she asks.513Please respect copyright.PENANAhOMC3VXy4s
"Anything," I answer her.513Please respect copyright.PENANAKXnsBgkR76
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.513Please respect copyright.PENANA10HrxR4d3A
"Hey," I say, when we're on our feet.513Please respect copyright.PENANA2jXN5vjA0B
We look at one another.513Please respect copyright.PENANAZNs0KXRa4f
"Thank you," I say.513Please respect copyright.PENANAhOc7kWlsVW
"You're welcome," she says.513Please respect copyright.PENANAAru604CugC
I watch her start to leave, but then she stops and looks at me over her shoulder.513Please respect copyright.PENANAPgdlI5RNKE
"If you need anything, anything at all, DON'T call me. I have a prom to plan."513Please respect copyright.PENANADubyDAOoV3
I watch her leave.513Please respect copyright.PENANAhRak8zR4Mx
I smile, as she leaves.513Please respect copyright.PENANAu8gVqqbQGa
