[[ Katherine P.O.V. / "An Honest Man" -Fantastic Negrito ]]

I walk down the hospital hallway, snapping off the elastic gloves which had been covering my hands. They make loud cracking sounds as I pull the rubber roughly. I see a trash can in the middle of the hall and I toss the gloves into it. I pull out the pony tail holder which had held my big curls into a side-do, and let my hair go free. I run my fingers through my locks and turn the corner, walking down another hallway.

I'm feeling pretty good right now considering I just saved Dean Winchester's life just to make it more miserable. Crowley and I have come up with a damn good plan and I can't wait to grab my popcorn and watch this one play out.

I notice doctors looking at me in a slight confused manner, but mostly they hardly notice me. There are so many doctors and nurses here there's no way they can tell I'm not supposed to be here. I pull off my doctors jacket in which I stole from the doctor I drained earlier and toss it onto a rack that's situated in the middle of the hallway.

While I'm here I should really grab a few blood bags to take with me, but killing is so much more fun, ya know? It's more of a rush. I smirk to myself as these thoughts go through my mind.

I step outside of the hospital and the warm air feels good on my skin, the cool breeze making this day even better. I pull out my cell phone, dialing Crowley's number. It rings and I patiently wait, watching people as they walk all around me.

Food. Food everywhere.

"Did you do it?" Crowley immediately asks as he answers. I smirk, "Of course I did, who do you think I am?" Crowley slightly scoffs, letting out a short sigh. "That's all I need from you at the moment—now we just wait a while.  You get a few days off to do what you want, don't call me unless you have news." Crowley says immediately hanging up on me, not giving me the chance to respond.

What an ass.

A few days off he says?

To do...whatever I want, he says?

I smirk, walking away from the hospital, shoving my cell phone back into my pocket. My high heels click loudly on the pavement. I've definitely got some ideas...

[[Caroline P.O.V./ "Long Way Down" -Robert Delong]]

"Are you okay?  Do I need to come?"  I ask as Elena explains what's going on through the phone.  "No no he's going to be fine, thank God.  I just wanted to call you and let you know what's going on now.  It probably wouldn't be the best idea for you to come up here anyway."  She says, letting out a sigh.  "Oh yeah, I forgot your boyfriend and his brother KILL VAMPIRES.  Do they know I exist?  Do they know your best friend is a vampire?  And what about Bonnie?  Do they know your other best friend is a witch?  I mean geeze Elena you literally went from one extreme to the next." 

I laugh, looking through clothes in the clothing store I'm in at the moment.  Elena laughs just as much as I do.  It's good to hear her happy finally.  "Okay listen, I've got a lot to tell you but I don't have the time right now and you need to be with Dean.  I'm also currently about to meet Bonnie for lunch so I will call you back as soon as I get home.  Love you!"  I say, smiling to myself as I wait for her answer.  "Okay, you better call me.  Love you too!"  She responds. 

I hang up the phone, placing it back into my pocket.  I shrug, making a pouty face as I look around.  This store has no good clothing at the moment.  I roll my eyes and walk out of the clothing store and onto the sidewalk.  It's so sunny and beautiful outside which always makes my day ten times better.  My short but flowy spring dress feels all airy as the wind blows against my body. 

Fortunately the place I'm meeting Bonnie for lunch is in walking distance of where I've been shopping.  I make my way down the sidewalk, smiling at people as they pass by.  Everyone seems so happy today, including myself.  It's just a pretty damn good day.  My phone buzzes, and I pull it out of my pocket, checking the screen.  I have a text from Bonnie:  "I'm here, already got us a table.  Are you close?" 

I look down at my phone and type back: 

"Perfect. Like five seconds away." 

I hit send, putting my phone right back into my pocket.  I begin to walk into the restaurant but I'm interrupted and stopped before I can go in. 

"Caroline."  A familiar voice says. 

I look up and see Elena.  Wait...Elena?  That can't be right...she's...with Dean.  "Uh—...Elena?"  I ask in confusion, narrowing my brows. 

"Nope, guess again."  She smirks, raising a brow in disgusting confidence. 

Oh no. 

What the hell is this bitch doing here? 

"Katherine."  I glare at her with hatred.  I'm pretty sure my eyes have so much anger and hatred in them that I could shoot lasers right through her.  "It's so good to see you again."  She says, her sarcasm spitting at me.  Before I can react or even get away from her and ignore her horrible manipulative ass she threatens me, putting a stake up under my jacket and against my back hidden just enough so that no one around us has any idea what's going on right in front of them.  "Come with me now, or Bonnie dies.  Simple as that.  I've got five guys in there that could rip her apart.  Your choice."  She says in a calm, fake nice voice.  The anger but slight fear rises inside of me so I of course do what's best for Bonnie's safety.  "Okay, geeze.  You don't have to get so violent."

[[Elena P.O.V.]]

"Okay just please be careful.  I know you're all 'magically healed' or whatever but still, you need to be careful.  You were just in a coma like a few hours ago."  I say to Dean.  I hold onto his arm as he slowly walks down the hallway with Sam and I.  He seems to be struggling just a little bit which is caused by the amount of soreness he still feels. 

Sam walks ahead of us, opening doors and making a path for us.  "Elena, I'm fine, I told you.  I'm not a baby, I can walk down a hallway."  Dean says, I can hear his aggravation in his voice.  Dean doesn't do well with being injured or having to recover.  He thinks he's invincible and can't die or get hurt, which is obviously not true.  I decide not to respond.  Nothing I say will really change his mind, he's very stubborn when it comes to his strength.

"The cafeteria is right down those stairs.  You okay to walk down them, Dean?  Because we can get you a wheelchair if you want?"  Sam asks kindly, looking back at Dean with concern.  I can see the anger in Dean's face but he calms himself down, realizing Sam is only trying to help.  "No.  I can walk down stairs, I'm fine."  He says in a slightly angry, but mostly calm manner.  I lean over and kiss his cheek softly, smiling warmly.  He looks over at me and grins, giving my hand a tight squeeze.  I help him down the stairs and he actually does pretty good. 

He's right—he's got this. 

Once we get inside of the cafeteria we are welcomed by a variety of smells of many different kinds of foods.  We walk over to a little table and I help Dean sit down.  "You guys go ahead and stay here, I'll go get us all some pizza or something."  I say, smiling as I walk off to get the food. 

When I get over to the buffett, I begin to grab our plates, ready to put food on them.  My phone's text tone goes off and I pull it out of my back pocket.  It's a text from Bonnie: 

"Have you talked to Caroline?  She texted me three house ago that she was five seconds away from the restaurant where we were meeting for lunch and then she never showed up.  I think something's wrong."

I don't panic just yet, but I get a feeling in my gut which usually means there's a problem.  That's not like Caroline to not show up unless something happened or it was an emergency and she hasn't had the chance to get ahold of Bonnie yet.  I text back quickly:

"Hang on, I'm getting food.  I'll call you in a few minutes."

I hit send, shoving my phone back into my back pocket.  I walk down the buffett line, getting the pizza and putting it on all three of our plates. I glance back at Sam and Dean, watching them conversate. I remember mentioning to them when I first met them that I had friends who were vampires and witches and werewolves. They didn't say too much about it, so what would they think now? I mean what my friends are...they kill things like them. So I guess I'm just afraid of the reaction I'd get from Sam and Dean if they knew that I'm still in contact with them while I'm killing other supernatural things.

My friends aren't bad, though. I mean they've made mistakes, but they are nothing like any of the monsters I've killed since I've been on the road with Sam and Dean. So maybe I should tell them? Maybe I should just talk to them about it and fill them in on everything and try my best to get them to understand just how great my friends are. They're more like my family to me, and the boys should understand that.

I walk back over to the table and place the plates of food down in front of Sam and Dean.  "Hang on, I'm going to get us some drinks." I can feel Dean's eyes on me as I turn around and walk back toward the drink station.  I fill up three cups with ice and water and then bring them back to the table, sitting down.
"How long do I have to stay here?"  Dean asks, taking a bite of his pizza.  I take a sip of my water and let Sam answer the question, "About two more days.  They're keeping close watch on you and you need time to recover."  Sam takes a bite of his pizza.  Dean rolls his eyes, talking with his mouth full.  "That's bullshit." 

I look over at him with wide eyes and I begin to laugh, "Are you kidding?  You were in a coma!  You almost died!"  Sam raises his brows and laughs.  "Yeah seriously, you aren't invincible dude give yourself some time to rest."  Sam scolds, taking a drink.  I pull out my phone which has buzzed three more times since I put it back into my pocket.  I check the screen, three more texts from Bonnie.  They read:

"Elena I need you to call me right now."

"I'm actually starting to get worried."

"Elena please call me."

I take a deep breath, trying to hide my worry from the boys.  "Hang on, I'll be right back."  I say almost awkwardly.  I quickly get up and walk over to the cafeteria doorway, dialing Bonnie's number. The phone rings and I glance back, noticing Sam and Dean looking over at me with looks of concern. I'm gonna have to come up with some story so that I have an explanation when I get back over to that table. Dean especially will most definitely ask me at least 900 questions. 

"Hey, where have you been?"  Bonnie says in a slightly angry tone.  "I'm sorry I was getting everyone food.  It's been busy, okay?"  I say a little agitated back.  Bonnie lets out a deep sigh, "I know, I'm sorry I didn't mean to be bitchy I'm just worried about Caroline.  I know you've got Dean to worry about and I'm so glad that he's okay.  Are you okay?"  She asks after apologizing.  I smile to myself, taking a deep breath and then exhaling.  "I'm fine, much better actually now that I know he's going to be okay.  But what's going on with Caroline?  What exactly happened?  I just talked to her before she was going to meet up with you." I explain.

"I don't know, she literally just disappeared and I can't get ahold of her at all. I need help." She pauses for a moment after saying this. "...Do Sam and Dean know about Caroline and I? Because...honestly we could really use their help." As she says this I think for a moment before I respond.

Deep down I've always had a feeling that this would come one day.

"They don't know that much, they don't have any idea that I keep in contact with you and Caroline. But, we really could use their help. I mean if Caroline is in trouble there's no way I'm just gonna sit around here and wait for you to tell me any news. Dean will be in the hospital for two more days to recover but Sam and I can make a trip to Mystic Falls to figure out what's going on." I pause after saying this before asking a question I don't really want the answer to.

"Are Stefan and Damon in town?"

I hear Bonnie take a breath and pause before answering, "No...No, they've been traveling. I'm actually not sure where they are right now but all that matters is they aren't here and you won't have to deal with them." I swallow thickly, "Okay. I'll let Sam know and we'll get there as soon as we can. Let me know if anything pops up, okay? And be careful." I glance back over at Sam and Dean to see them talking while they eat, not even paying attention to me anymore. "I will. See you soon, love you." Bonnie says. "Love you too." I say as I hang up the phone.

I walk back over to the boys and sit down, welcomed by confused and awaiting stares. I ignore their looks, shoving my pizza into my mouth. "Well? Are you gonna tell us what that was all about?" Dean asks, slurping his drink. I look over at him and act surprised, "Oh that was just Cas. He was asking how you were doing and I didn't wanna talk about how weak you are in front of you." I say to Dean, giggling sarcastically.

I try to turn it into a joke so that they'll believe me and let it go. I'll have to tell Sam later anyways but I don't want Dean knowing I'm going somewhere dangerous without him. He'll never let me go even if I am perfectly capable of taking care of myself. I'll even have Sam who I went on multiple hunts with alone while Dean was gone. But Dean is stubborn, and he won't listen. So I'm going to have to come up with a damn good plan.

"Oh hush, I am not weak. I'm actually a badass and hey, I'm healed...seriously I'm not weak." Dean says, finishing his pizza. 

I laugh even more, the conversation moving to a completely different subject matter. 

Thank God.
