A/N: Ok I have no clue how I came up with this idea, don't ask me. All's I could think was side effects to Silas in Caroline's head. Stefan was released from the safe after only a couple days, they knew Silas was loose, just thought he left. Everyone knows that Bonnie died. There will be no Klaus and Haley baby, but I might do a story that involves Caroline secretly helping and talking to Haley throughout the pregnancy. I hope you like this; don't know how long it is going to be.

Insanity

Caroline Forbes was many things; perfectionist, insecure, neurotic, control freak, baby vampire, and now she get to add insane to that list. Now the reason that she is insane isn't her own fault, it's Silas' fault. He's the one who decided that torturing her with her own memories was a good idea. You see he didn't like reenact them, no he paralyzed her body and made her relive being tortured over and over again in her own mind. There were no signs of it on her body of course, well at the start.

He was good at it to, torturing her; at the start she just passed it off as bad dreams. But then she started to zone out in the middle of a sentence, and she would relive being tortured. Her friends would ask her if she was ok, she would say 'I'm fine, I just must be tired,' and then walk away. After witnessing it a couple of times, Stefan, realized she was lying, he could tell by looking at her that she wasn't fine. After a couple more days, he got her to talk, she told him what would happen when she froze up like that, or when she closed her eyes to go to sleep.

The torture only happened in her sleep for about two days, and then she would have an episode at least once a day. After about two weeks, he allowed her body to show the torture she was going through. She would lock herself in her room or in the Salvatore basement; the only sign that she was still alive was her screams of pain. Elena insisted on trying to hold her and comfort her once she was back to herself; Damon gave her bourbon to try and help ease her pain; Stefan searched every spell book in Bonnies house for a sign of what was happening. Bonnie while on the other side would sit beside her friend trying to help as she went through the pain of reliving her memories.

It was a month into the torture of her own mind that her friends would take turns helping, getting her blood bags, they decided they wouldn't stop until they saved her, even Damon took a turn. At the time she was doing fine and Elena was holding her tightly on the couch in the boarding house living room. Matt was trying tirelessly to get ahold of Tyler, using his phone and Caroline's, with no avail. Jeremy was talking to Bonnie on the other side; her having talked to some witch's on that side. Stefan flipped through spell books, nothing coming up that could help.

"Ok blonde, that's it, I'm calling Klaus and letting him know what's going on. When he calls to tell you about New Orleans, you act as though you are fine. Well you know what vampire Barbie, you aren't fine. Matt quit trying to get ahold of the mutt, start calling Rebekah. We are getting ahold of those god damn originals today." Damon said walking into the already starting to dial Klaus' phone.

"No don't bother them, they have their own stuff to deal with," Caroline said trying to stand up but sitting back down after feeling dizzy.

"Care, we have to. We won't let you die; Bonnie hasn't even found anything out on the other side. Maybe a witch in New Orleans that Klaus knows might be able to help." Elena said while grabbing a glass of blood and helping Caroline drink it.

"Klaus it's Damon, you need to call me back ASAP. Something is wrong with our vampire Barbie." Damon said into his phone before clicking end, "Maybe if I send him a text message."

"Bonnie thinks she might know what it is," Jeremy almost yelled running down the stairs and stopping in front of his sister and Caroline.

"Well spit it, we don't have all day." Damon said walking over to him while continuing to send text message after text message to Klaus.

"She talked to the witch Quetsya, she said that when Bonnie died that the expression magic she used on Silas just wore off, unlocking all of his powers again. That's how he wasn't stone anymore." Jeremy said looking at all of them as they sat around Elena and Caroline.

"But I thought magic still worked, even after the witch is long dead?" Stefan said with an apologetic look.

"Not expression magic, it's different than spiritual and black magic. If the witch that did the spell dies, so does the spell." Jeremy repeated after Bonnie.

"But why has Silas decided to make Caroline his victim all of a sudden?" Elena asked causing Matt to remember the wrist thing at the Grill.

"Caroline, he's been in your head longer than a month hasn't he? He's been in your head since the day Bonnie dropped the veil?" Matt said remembering Rebekah and him stopping her from cutting her wrist off.

"What are you talking about Matt?" Stefan asked as Caroline nodded remembering.

"And even a little while before that, he appeared to me as Klaus. Oh my god, what does he want with me?" Caroline said starting to cry with her head in her hands. Not a few seconds later Damon's phone rang signaling Klaus calling him.

"Hello," Damon said answering the phone.

"What is the matter with Caroline, it must be bad, you called me? Is that her crying in the background?" Klaus's voice rang out from the phone pressed to Damon's ear.

"You really need to come back to Mystic Falls, turns out, Silas, isn't as gone as we had thought he was, and he is in Caroline's head." Damon said watching as Stefan and Elena stroked Caroline's hair trying to calm her down.

"We'll be there in four hours, when I get there explain everything." Klaus said before he hung up the phone.

X

Four hours later; Klaus, Rebekah, and Elijah walked into the Salvatore boarding house, only to hear a blood curdling scream come from Caroline in the basement. Stefan sat in a chair with his eyes squeezed shut, and grinding his teeth, so as not to run down to his best friend. They could hear Elena trying to console Caroline in the basement, only being met with another scream of pain. Jeremy and Damon looked over a spell book in hopes of finding something, and using it as a distraction. Matt continued to try and get an answer on the phone from Tyler.

"What's wrong with her? Why is she in pain?" Klaus growled stepping into the living room.

"Calm Niklaus," Elijah started before receiving a glare from his brother.

"Silas decided he would have some fun, he's making her relive every time she has ever been tortured. I'm about this close to ripping his head off if I ever see him again. Damn the consequences. " Damon said holding his thumb and pointer finger about a centimeter apart. "Any ideas on how to get him out of her head, you got him out of yours?"

"With her help, she distracted me from the fake pain of the fake stake moving to my heart. My guess is that since he has had a longer hold on her mind; that it would probably take more than me and her arguing to save her." Klaus said cringing as another scream tore through the house.

"We need to try something, she's getting worse." Elena said entering the room from the basement. "I think he's starting to send her into insanity, once she goes there, we would never be able to get her back."

"Ok well you boys try and find Silas or something to help, Elena let's go try some girl talk. Or maybe we can rile her up enough to break through, even if for a minute." Rebekah said walking to the stairs and into the basement with Elena.
