Ugh this sounds like school all over again. [ Caroline groans.
Except really, she's just trying to cope. One second she was home, about to go spend time with her friends. A boy asked her if she knew how to find Mystic Grill. She said yes. And the next second she's an employee of a company that destroys planets for a living. Planets with life on them.
They just kill people. And she's a part of it now.
She's doing her best to try to get through this, and maybe some day she'll be Elena-level okay. Not that she imagines Elena to be happy with any of this, but she seems adjusted. Maybe one day Caroline will be too, just like she adjusted to being a vampire she'll adjust to this. She just needs time. Time and processing. And to get through either she has to try to act as normally as she can manage, connect to her old life any way she can.
Elena here helps with that. Elena is a huge help. She's not sure she could do it without her. She takes Elena's hand and smiles, though her smile doesn't quit reach her eyes.
Then Elena is smiling more and trying to shake it off and Caroline is taking a deep breath, shaking her shoulders out, and moving on with her. ]
Or bootcamp. Fun. [ She rolls her eyes. ] I'm not climbing through mud in the rain with those spiky wires over me like they do on TV, though.
Otherwise, I'll totally learn the gun. If I'm going to have one, I might as well know how to use it.
