Prologue

It had been 8 years since the that tragic day when Caroline had thought that it was the end of both Klaus and Tyler's life and she had enough and she just wanted to change, change her life and get away from this havoc.

Caroline had thought that her beloved Tyler was dying in her arms because Klaus had apparently died from the Desiccation spell that Bonnie had performed using Dark Magic as she thought it was Alaric' heart that Stefan had his hand on. On that night she went to Elena's house to her that she just could take it no more, the grieving is taking over her. She thought that Elena had to know that she was leaving town but Elena suggested that Caroline sleep on it before she made her final decision. Caroline told Elena that she will go eventually.

When Caroline got home she went to the Fridge and got a B+ blood bag and took it to bed on that awful night of May, her final decision was that she was going to leave Mystic Fall in the Morning, Strangely her mom and friends was very supportive of her decision and knew her reasons were reasonable.

On her way out of Mystic Falls, she stopped by the Salvatore Boarding house so that she could say goodbye to both Stefan and Damon before she had left. Stefan was heartbroken but also grateful about her decision and she told them that Tyler had cheated on her with a wolf named Hayley. She had told Damon and Stefan to keep everyone safe and respect each other because their Bond is unbelievable. After she hugged Stefan and Damon, She left for the Airport to New York.

CHAPTER ONE:

Caroline had worked for 9 straight hours non stop. She was walking around the office waiting for more plans to be handed to her as she was an event planner. She sat down at her desk and she started to type a message to her friends saying how well she has done at her job. She had been here 6 years, two years after she had moved here in Troy, New York. Just as she was about to send the message, she flinched when a pile of paper had landed on her desk. All of a sudden her Boss had called Caroline from her Office, before she went into her boss's office she quickly sent the detailed message to Bonnie and Elena.

"Caroline! Can you come here please and shut the door behind you" her boss hissed

"Coming" Caroline said as she was quickly rising from her chair. Caroline knocked quietly on the door, "Yes Christine"

"Ermmm... Caroline" it was clear that she was nervous. Caroline knew it was going to be bad news.

"Get to the point Christine" Caroline said while rolling her eyes.

"I'm sorry but you can not work here anymore. People are scared of you." she had horror in her tone. Caroline smirked at her.

Caroline looked sideways at Christine, "Why what have I done?"

"I don't know why people complained about you. You're a lovely girl and an amazing event planner but people are just genuinely frightened by you" she said truthfully.

"Wait, you did not tell them my secret did you?" Caroline stared daggers at Christine.

"No, god no. Why would I do that when I have a secret of my own" Caroline stared at her as she said this. Christine gulped.

Caroline was interested in this secret "Oh please, do tell"

Christine looked at her fingers and started to play with them "Well, I'm a witch" she mumbled the last part so that Caroline couldn't hear.

"A what?" Caroline had a confused expression on her face.

"I'm a witch okay" She said so that only Caroline could hear.

"Oh I know what you are, I just wanted to hear it again" she chuckled. Caroline then saw that Christine's' face had saddened she then said "Hey, it's okay everyone has secrets and your one is safe with me" she winked at Christine before giving a smile which then made Christine face light up with happiness.

Caroline could hear Christine's' Heart rising, she knew something that she is not telling Caroline "I can hear your heart pounding Christine. Is there something you are not telling me?"

"Yes! I'm sorry, I lied. People don't want you hear because..." She cleared the lump from her throat "because one of the girls had seen you drinking from a blood bag and my she was creeped out"

"So there is no chance in me keeping my job?" she wanted to know.

"I'm sorry Caroline but I can't" She looked so glum and distressed.

"Very well then, I will collect my things and be on my way then. It was nice working for you" Caroline said slyly, shook Christine's hand then she walked towards the door.

Caroline had packed the very last item that she had. Caroline was a singer in Nashville's finest Nightclub, everyone loved her so she figured she would go home and then go to the Nightclub. As she was about to go into the elevator when she saw her roommate Sara. Sara called Caroline,

"Hey Caroline. Where are you going?" she shouted from her desk.

"Hey Sara, I got fired just now" Caroline looked towards the floor in disbelief. Then she saw that Sara had embraced her into a hug.

"Why?" she wanted to know.

"uh.." Caroline then whispered in Sara's ear so only she could "Some girl saw me drinking from a blood bag smoewhere, I don't know how but someone saw me" she said in a raging tone.

"Seriously" Sara rolled her eyes as she was processing this new information.

"Oh well, I am just going to go home and drop this stuff at home" She juggled the box she was carrying, "and i will make my way to Rippy's"

"Okay, and I'm sorry you lost your job" Sara rubbed Caroline's arm trying to comfort her before she added "have fun Care" she smiled at her friend. Caroline smiled back before she turned on her heels and headed towards the elevator.

As she was walking down the streets of Troy, New York, she saw a familiar figure approaching her. She could not make out who the person was, but she got a familiar scent from he got closer and closer, Caroline gasped in shock she could not believe if she was seeing things or if it was actually true, she said "No! No! he is not here Caroline, He is can't be." As he brushed past her, she got a similar yet electric vibe that she had 8 years ago when she was with Klaus. When she turned around to see if he was still there, he was gone. "My mind is just playing tricks, He wasn't there. That was not Klaus!" she sighed as she continued to walk down the street of Broadway towards 'Rippy's Bar and Grill'. She started to laugh because the name reminds her of her best friend Stefan as he was a Rippah with Klaus.

Back in Mystic Falls, in the Mikaelson Mansion. In the living room, there was a 60" Samsung plasma tv that's built on the wall above the black marble Fireplace. The wallpaper was some sort of Black Seamless pattern which was went well with the Marble Fireplace. The flooring was Ash laminated floor which went with the cream colour Loveseat sofa, Armchairs and other accessories. On the wall was some of Klaus' finest art that he had designed and painted himself, they were all breath-taking.

On one of the Sofa's, Bonnie was surfing through the channels of the tv when she had passed about 100 channels Bonnie finally found something that really interested her. When she landed on FXM the movie channel, the movie that's being shown on TV was Twilight saga Breaking Dawn part 2. Strangely Bonnie had watched all the other movies of Twilight but not this one, so she figured that it be reasonable to watch this one so that she knew the ending.

Bonnie was shouting at the tv when the scene came up where Carlisle's death appeared on the TV screen. Kol was sitting in the backyard near the Swimming Pool when he heard Bonnie screaming, little did he know that Bonnie was actually screaming at the TV. Kol had Vamp-speed into the Living room to find that Bonnie was safe and not harmed.

"Darling, why were you screaming?" he lifted his eyebrows at Bonnie.

"Because this Vampire had killed Carlisle" she growled.

"Who is Carlisle?" Kol was Confused. He placed a hand on Bonnie's shoulder.

"He is a character from Twilight Kol, he's my favourite character." her voice was fierce and angered.

"Darling, it is a film" he chuckled. He turned to look at the TV as saw a Vampire sparkle in the sunlight, "Please tell me they are not vampires?" Kol was astonished but what he has seen.

"Yes they are, why?" Bonnie was concerned by Kols reaction.

"Those so call Vampires are Bloody Sparkling, SPARKLING in the bloody Sunlight. They aren't suppose to sparkle." He dragged his hand over his face in disbelief. He continued "I'm a vampire, a true, Original Vampire and I do not sparkle!" Kol stated dramatically as he had his hand over his chest.

"Sweety, it's just a film" she flung her head back against the chair and started to laugh. Kol paused and realised she had repeated the words that he had told her earlier.

One hour later, Kol was in the kitchen preparing the dinner that he is going to make for Bonnie. He needed the ingredients so that he could make Chicken Tikka. Kol glided his way over to the Fridge/Freezer so that he could collect the Frozen chicken which he then put in a saucepan of cold water to defrost it. He then got the garlic from the fridge and crushed 1 clove with a knife. Bonnie came into the Kitchen and started to help Kol prepare the dinner, she got all the dinning plates, got the silverware and wine glasses and placed them on the Ash colour dinning table while Kol finished the cooking. They had eaten in comfortable silence. Once they had finished their dinner Kol wanted to phone Caroline and talk to her about the proposal that he wanted to do for Bonnie.

"Bonnie darling, may i borrow you phone?" he said in a charming tone.

"Yeah sure, why do you need it?" a confused expression appeared on her face.

"I want to talk to Caroline about something. No need to worry." Kol smirked at Bonnie but she rolled her eyes at him. She tossed him her phone.

"Thank you!" he dialled Caroline's home number when an unfamiliar voice picked up.

"Hello. This is Caroline and Sara's apartment, may I ask who is calling?" curiosity was clear in her voice.

"Hello darling, I am Kol Mikaelson and I rang up to talk to the lovely Caroline Forbes" He stated.

"Erm... I'm not familiar with someone called Kol Mikaelson." Sara was worried and Kol had noticed it.

"Do you know Bonnie Bennett?" Now he was getting agitated but he remained calm.

"Matter of fact I do. Oh you must be her Boyfriend. Yep now I remember you. So how can i help?"

"Well, for starters where is Caroline?" He wanted to know.

"Caroline is not here. She was supposed to come here and drop her stuff at home but she hasn't come back. Maybe she went straight from work to her other job. She did get fired." Sara was babbling on which made Kol frustrated.

"So you have no idea of where she is?"

"Nope not a clue. Sorry" Sara stated with a little concern.

Kol had hung up the phone and handed it back to his girlfriend. He vamp-speed up to his room and started searching for his own phone. He checked the bed, the Wardrobe, under his bed and even in the bathroom. He just could find it. He ran back down stairs into the Kitchen to search the marble counter tops, the draws but he just couldn't find it. He then walked into the Living room and began his search again when he finally found his phone which was sitting on the fireplace. Bonnie was scared of how Kol was behaving, she walked up to him and placed her hands on his face and brought his face to hers and gave him a gentle but passionate kiss. She held his face and he lent into it which calmed him down. Bonnie looked into his eyes and could see the frustration that Kol has. All of a sudden, Kol had Vamp-Speed Bonnie into the wall, he then pressed his body into hers and let out a groan of pleasure and started to kiss her again, bonnie felt a shiver go down her spine as Kol kissed her which she then returned the favour. "Kol..." Bonnie moaned his name, which Kol then Deepened the kiss. Kol then pulled away which left Bonnie wanting more.

"You distracted me. Oh Bonnie that was sneaky." He grinned

"Well, I had learned from the best" Bonnie grinned like a fool at Kol.

"You sure did" he smirked. Kol cocked his head to one side before adding "Darling why the distraction?" he wanted to know.

"Kol, Why was you so Frustrated?" she wanted to know.

"Erm..." he paused trying to search for an answer.

Bonnie saw a confused expression on Kols' face "Kol!" she questioned him.

"It is not normal for Caroline to not be at home nor pick up her phone. I am just concern for her Bonnie, that's all." he smiled lovingly at her which caused her to blush. He quickly added " Have you seen my phone anywhere?"

"Have you checked your pocket?" she glanced at him but then burst into laughter when Kol pulled his phone from Trouser pocket. Then she added "Why do you need your phone?"

He glanced sideways at Bonnie and said "I need to call Nik. He should still be in New York near Caroline" He gulped while adding "I hope" he sighed then quickly dialled Niklaus' phone. When Klaus finally answered "Nik! Long time no see brother."

"Kol, what's up?" Klaus said immediately

"You still chasing or shall I say Stalking miss Forbes around New York?" he's mocking Klaus.

"Don't mock me brother or there will be consequences." he replied harshly

"Don't get your panties in a twist brother" he said Sarcastically

"Kol do you always have to torment your brother?" Bonnie replied in the background.

"Ahh...I see you are still with the Witch brother" Klaus added sardonically.

"You better hold your tongue brother, you might say something that you'll regret" Kol hissed.

"Calm yourself down little brother" Klaus chuckled while he quickly added "Kol just tell me why you have decided to call me now of all time?" Klaus really wanted to know why his brother chooses now to talk to him.

"I really need you tell me if you are still in New York, well in Troy to be precise?" Kol was nervous and Klaus could hear it in Kols' tone.

"Yes I am why?" Klaus was puzzled.

"Erm..." Kol gulped, then cleared his voice "Have you seen Caroline lately?"

"Yes I have. Truth be told I saw her not so long ago. In fact i saw her today leaving work, why?" Klaus is curious of what is happening. "Kol is acting rather strange and since when is he friends with Caroline, why is he worried about her? Why is Kol is asking me about her? Is she hurt, Is she in trouble? Yes I might be annoyed at Caroline, hmmm I must ask Kol what's wrong" he thought to himself before he added "Kol what is wrong with Caroline?"

Kol sighed as he answered "I don't know, she isn't at home and her roommate has no idea where she is either."

"Did you check her phone?" Klaus asked. Klaus chuckled but at the same time he rolled his eyes at the fact that his little brother did not even check Caroline's phone to see if she would pick up. Klaus could hear Kol talking to Bonnie in the background,

"Bonnie we didn't even check Carolines phone before we called Klaus." Kol stated.

"Well maybe because you were too bust searching the whole house for your bloody phone" Bonnie said while she raised her chin proudly.

Klaus started to laugh at their little spat "Well isn't she a feisty little witch"

"Shut up Nik!" Kol hissed protectively. Kol then turned his attention back to Bonnie and said "Try calling Caroline off her phone darling" Kol said in a sweet voice.

"Is she picking up?" Klaus was desperate to find out.

"It's ringing Nik" Kol said to his impatient brother. The phone just kept ringing for 2 minutes, Bonnie then hung up and repeated this process. Caroline phone just kept on going to Voicemail.

"Is she picking up?" Klaus hissed through the phone.

Kol Signed and replied " No Nik, she isn't." Kol could tell that both Bonnie and Klaus were getting really annoyed.

"Caroline, please pick up" Bonnie was getting frustrated with her friend.

Caroline was strolling towards the Nightclub that she will be singing at tonight. She became distracted as she realised that it was a full moon so she must be careful. She then was wondering what she should pick to sing tonight, "should I sing a romantic song? oh no I do not want to bring up those feelings. Should I sing Adele? Maybe I should sing Rolling in the Deep, it sounds like a suitable song. Yeah I will definitely sing that song" she thought to herself. Caroline was now about 20 maybe 30 blocks away from the Nightclub when she felt her phone vibrating in her bag. She thought "who the hell could that be?" she was searching her bag when she finally realised that she kept her phone safely is the zipped pocket of her Prada bag that she had gotten a few months ago. She checked her phone to find 6 miss calls from Bonnie, 2 from Kol and 8 messages asking her to pick up her phone or where the hell is she. She just rolled her eyes are her concerned friends and decided to call Bonnie to see why she called so many times.

Bonnie answered the phone, her breath had hitched "Caroline, thank god"

"Bonnie what's wrong?" Caroline was desperate to know.

"Caroline, Kol wanted to call you, so he called you apartment but Sara answered. She didn't know where you were as you did not go home. She was worried where you were too. Caroline why didn't you answer you phone?" Bonnie was gasping for air.

"Okay Bonnie just breath, Why does Kol need to talk to me?" Caroline asked her friend.

"I don't know. You didn't answer my question" Bonnie hissed at her best friend.

"Chill Bonnie. I was at the Laundrette to pick up my laundry...and I went into an undergarment store for you know what" she was embarrassed to say.

"Is that Caroline, Gimme the phone darling" Kol shouted from the kitchen. Bonnie gave him the phone and he went back into the kitchen where he left his phone with Klaus on the other line. Little did Caroline know that Klaus was listening to every detail that Caroline was giving Kol.

"Caroline darling, what colour were the undergarments you picked out?" Kol asked Mocking Caroline which made her blush red.

"Oh Kol you know I can't tell you that" she teased him.

"Caroline please, I won't tell" he begged and Klaus rolled his eyes at the immaturity that is his little brother.

"Let's just say that I picked blood Red colour undergarments with a black lining" she smirked "What do you say to that?" she teased.

"Well, Truth be told darling I think Nik would love to see you in that" he laughed as he knew Klaus was listening. Klaus quietly growled at Kol, it was so quiet only Kol could hear. Caroline had rolled her eyes at his remark than scoffed at him.

"Kol why did you really want me? I know you didn't want to talk underwear with me. So please spit it out" she said calmly.

"okay, okay as much as I loved that conversation lets get to the point" Kol said before Caroline butted in.

"Continue" She stated.

"well you know that me and Bonnie have been together for 4 years..." he paused and looked around the room to see if she was there, but he then realised that she was watching TV.

"Are you going to say what i think you are going to say?" she said excitedly before Kol cut her off.

"shhh...Let me finish women. Right where was I, oh yeah, so i was thinking that I should propose to Bonnie but I don't know what to say." he said truthfully while letting out a small sigh. Klaus was shocked at what he said while Caroline was jumping up and down like a loony tune.

"So have you got a ring yet?" she was very joyful at this moment.

"erm...No that is why I wanted to call you to see if you could help me pick one out for her" At this point, Klaus was happy that Kol asked that question but also confused as he wondered if Caroline still hates him for what he had done. But Klaus was also happy that his little brother was going to settle down with the witch. This had made Klaus a bit unhappy as he realised that his siblings could have love but he couldn't, he had lost that chance when he had portrayed Caroline several years ago.

"I would love that Kol" then she realised "how is that possible when I am in New York and you are all the way in Virginia, so how would that work out?" she was curious.

"Well, Good question. mmmm... Well it would look like you could stay here at the Mansion if it is okay with you?" Kol said, Klaus lit up with happiness at the sound of Caroline staying at the house he built. He wondered how long she would stay there. Maybe until the wedding day, as he recall that she is an event planner maybe Bonnie would want Caroline to help plan the wedding. His thoughts were all over the place.

It had been 30 minutes and Caroline was too busy talking to Kol about his proposal to her best friend Bonnie. Caroline was talking to Kol about the details about what could be in the wedding, the theme that they might have but Kol told Caroline that he would wait to see what Bonnie would want after he propose to her. Caroline continued by saying what kind of decorations they could have, which made Kol say,

"Gosh Caroline, you really know what you're talking about" he chuckled at Caroline.

"Well I was born to do this Kol. My job was an event planner so I have experience in this area" she replied proudly which then made Kol laugh.

"Caroline.." Kol said as he heard Klaus whisper from the phone that Caroline planned every event at her old school.

"Yeah"

"I heard that you planned all the events at the high school" he grinned before adding "Is that true?"

"Yeah it is. Who told you that?" she was puzzled by how he knew that.

"well, my big brother told me darling" he smirked as he heard Klaus,

"Kol.." Klaus growled.

"Which big brother? If I can remember you have two." she said, truthfully.

"the one and only..." he cleared his throat and continued, "Niklaus Mikaelson" Kol had his hand across his chest as lifted his chin up in a proud way.

"Really?" she said, dumbfounded.

"Oh yeah"

As Caroline was talking to Kol, what she did not realise is that there are about a dozen werewolves running around a couple of blocks way from where Caroline was standing. The wolves were in a variety of colours from pure white to pure grey. They were running towards a female vampire which was trying to escape the pack of wolves which are led by a witch, a Bennett witch. As the wolves were biting and ripping at the flesh on the young vampire, the witch glided her hand over the body and said,

"Sorry sweetie, you was collateral damage. They weren't suppose to harm you" she said, sadly. She then turned towards the wolves and added, "You were not suppose to harm her you fools" she heard the wolves whine. All of a sudden one of the wolves sensed a Vampire near by, only a few blocks away,

"I sense a Vampire near by." One of the wolves said to the rest, "come on maybe this vampire is the one."

"Come on then, but this time, DO NOT KILL IT!" a different wolf hissed.

As the wolves was searching for the Vampire which was Caroline, who they could smell. As they got to the block where Caroline was still standing while talking to Kol on the phone. The wolves started to sneakily, creep towards Caroline without making a sound and trying not to make her run away. Caroline heard a Snap of a twig, she turned around and the Wolves stood still. Caroline shrugged her shoulders and turned back around continuing her conversation with Kol. Caroline could smell and Natural, Earthy scent coming from the ally that she was in, she had smelt it before. She stood there wondering, thinking of when she had smelt it, it all came to her, Klaus and Tyler, Werewolves she thought to herself.

She turned around again "Oh no!"

"What is it Caroline" Kol asked.

"Werewolves" and as she said this, a dozen Werewolves had attacked her, bit into her flesh and she dropped her phone as Kol was still listening.

"Kol what happened" Klaus was curious.

"Werewolves brother" Kol said, Shocked. The next thing they heard was Caroline screaming.

"NO, Caroline" they both said in unison.

Caroline opened her eyes and she saw Damon with a Women, she raised her hands for him to pick her up but he just laughed and went to the phone that was lying on the pavement, looked at the caller ID and chuckled while glancing at Caroline,

"Why hello Kol" Damon said, Sardonically.

"Damon," Kol sounded confused "why do you have Caroline's phone?"

"Well, lets just say I have some business that need Caroline's help" Damon said, Slyly

"what's that suppose to mean" Kol was getting angry.

"Ahh, Now that would be telling"

Klaus and Kol could hear Caroline screaming with pain as Damon was still on the phone. Kol clenched his fist as his anger got worse. Klaus was quiet on the phone as he was trying to sense where Caroline and the Wolves were but he just couldn't find their scent. Why the hell can I not sense her or those, about to be dead, Werewolves? It just doesn't make any sense. Klaus thought to himself.

"Damon what are you doing to her?" Kol hissed

"And that is my cue to leave, Bye bye now" he mocked Kol.

Everything went silent, nothing could be heard.
