She stared at him in disbelief for the longest moment, not even processing his words. Matt already knew what her worry was about. Were her emotions really that much there for anyone to see on her sleeves? Did everyone have an idea that she might have feelings aside from hate for Klaus? Caroline wondered if vampires could throw up because the way her stomach was suddenly clenching she was pretty sure it was reminiscent of when she had a stomachache back when she’d been human. Nothing would come up though and she tried to unclench every muscle that seemed to have tightened in her body by merely bringing up this subject.
“I don’t think she knows?” Caroline whispered, not too sure when even Elena’s aunt was from. And she sure as hell wasn’t breaking that kind of news to the woman. Who ever wanted to know how they were going to die? Especially the way that Jenna had met her end? Which only made everything so much worse. Caroline was supposed to be the vampire to die that night. She was meant to be the sacrifice. And now she had stupid feelings for the man who had been all too willing to kill whoever he needed to to break free a part of him that was trapped. Which, okay, that part was a little understandable if he hadn’t needed to kill anyone to break it free. Who wanted to live with part of themselves locked up for all time?
“I don’t even really know how it happened,” she told him, making herself as small as she could on the couch, putting as much distance between them as she could. Pretty sure he wouldn't want her anywhere near him at that moment. “I don’t know. Maybe I can just ignore it?”
Just squash down all of the emotions he stirred inside of her until they hopefully disappeared. It couldn’t hurt to try, right?
