#vampire hunter.

look like the flower, but be the serpent under’t’.

basics.

timeline:     season one divergent

tws:     mentions of murder, blood, gore (p much anything vampire-y)

when bill and liz decided to get a divorce, caroline didn’t think twice before announcing she wanted to live with her dad.     she’d always been a daddy’s girl and her relationship with her mother had been on freefall ever since she’d told her daughter that she would be divorcing her dad.     so caroline packed her bags and left mystic falls.     being away from her friends was hard, but it also gave her the chance to finally get out of elena’s shadow.     she and her dad moved out to atlanta, georgia, settling in a 

life was good.     caroline had new friends, all fitting into the popular crowd at school, which helped her own reputation.     she’d joined the cheer team and quickly became captain.     she attended parties and planned events.     she truly it had it all.     until one night, when she was on her way home from a party in the woods and something hit her car.     it was dark and she couldn’t see very well, but she was sure the shape she’d seen briefly was not of an animal.     caroline climbed out of her car in a panic, trying to call the police but never managing to speak a word to the person on the line before her phone was snatched out of her grip and she was attacked.

as the life drained out of her, she heard the sound of screeching tires and soon the creature who was sucking the blood out of her body was letting go of her and falling to its knees in agony.     caroline soon followed, and from her spot in the cold, moist cement, she was able to see it   —   her father driving a stake into the creature’s heart.     caroline passed out mere seconds later.

she woke up two days later in the hospital, with her dad sleeping on a very uncomfortable chair next to her.     flashes of what had happened flooded her mind and sent her into a spiral, but thankfully her dad was able to calm her down before a nurse could come in while she screamed about being attacked by a vampire.     explaining to your daughter that vampires were very much real and it was their duty to protect humans from those evil creatures was not easy, especially when said daughter used to have a crush on edward cullen, but bill forbes manages to... eventually.     once caroline is discharged from the hospital, they go back to their house and bill officially begins his daughter’s training.

she thinks about quitting countless times, but something stops her.     maybe it’s not wanting to feel powerless ever again, or maybe it’s simply to spite the other members of her dad’s group, who constantly whispered about how she was too girly to be a good hunter.     but caroline powers through her training, despite sore muscles and constant frustrations.     she kills her first vampire about three months after her training begins and doesn’t stop until she learns about elena’s accident and her parents’ death.

extra.

she went back to mystic falls after hearing about elena’s accident but wasn’t planning to stay until people started to get attacked by animals and she grew suspicious of it

she told her dad she’d be moving back permanently until the problem was ‘dealt with’.     in reality, she wanted to prove to him that she was just as good as hunting down vampires as he was

caroline's bubbly and shallow personality is mostly a facade.     though she can be both things, she kicks it up a notch because she knows it’ll be good for her.     no one suspects the dumb blonde, right?
