AN: I own nothing. I am once again fixing the season finale because it was just wrong. I wrote this almost three years ago right after the season finale of season 3 when thought Caroline and Tyler would run away together. This is my take on what should have happened. They needed their own show. I just now finished it.

Caroline sat down looking out at the ocean, it was beautiful there. The smell and the sounds were making it perfect and peaceful. All she wanted to do was cry though because that was the last thing she felt right now. All she felt was pain, sadness, as if her heart had been ripped out of her chest. She didn't know what was going on back in Mystic Falls or if Tyler was alive. He'd pleaded with her to run and she had. She'd grabbed her bag and drove as fast as she could to the leaving Mystic Falls sign before she stopped.

That was a month ago; she'd made it to the meeting place that they picked a month ago. The full moon was that night, but she knew he wouldn't turn. He was hybrid, the moon didn't affect him any more unless he wanted to turn, he wouldn't. He'd already broken the sire bond and he was free of Klaus. She fought back tears trying to figure how she was alive since Klaus was gone. Every vampire and hybrid was supposed to have died, but she was still here.

She got up not knowing how much longer she could wait for Tyler before she had to go. They hadn't picked another place, just this one. She didn't know if she could risk leaving him a note, but she would if she had to. She held the picture that he'd put in her bag when he'd packed both them a bag. It was few clothes, most them was ones he loved, her curling iron and this photo. The night he came back she'd taken it. They'd been lying on the cellar floor snuggled up together after having some the best sex they'd had in good while.

Caroline opened the door to the house not even looking at the sunset; she couldn't because it meant moon rise would be soon. She put the picture frame in her bag already packed up to go with a letter for Tyler. If he didn't make it like they planned then she'd leave it for him, but she hoped he'd make it before morning. She wanted so badly to feel his arms around her, his warmth, hear his voice just saying her name. Their lives had sucked more than usual lately and she just didn't think she could deal with much more.

She grabbed a bag of blood out the fridge not even bothering to warm it before drinking it down. She put it in the Ziploc bag she had the other empty ones in. She'd burry them before she left under the house so nobody could find them. It didn't taste the same, not like Tyler's tasted. It was always hotter than normal and it was special. This made her want to throw up as she tried to keep it down not sure what was wrong.

Her entire body was aching all over without him near it was like she was loosing control. It wasn't like when he'd been gone breaking the bond. This was worse than that; it was like she knew something was wrong. She just couldn't figure out what it was that was wrong. The clock started dinging letting her know it was after eight the sun was down and moon would be up soon. She got back up going to the bathroom barely making it to the toilet. The blood was coming back up again like it had for the last three days.

Her only thought was for him to come and find her, to be with her because she was alone and scared. She had nobody here with her; the house kept making noises every night as if a ghost was near. This feeling had to go away, she had to keep blood down or she was going to die. It was her life source, food only did so good, but right now that was all she could get down.

Tyler hoped that his plan was going work and it did, he finally broke free and after he turned into the wolf he took off. He knew where Caroline was at, he'd been tracking her since that morning even before the moon was in the sky. It was day of the full moon and he had the most strength he'd had in a while. He wanted to go to Caroline sooner, but he couldn't. He knew if he didn't get there now she'd be gone and he'd have to wait another month. She'd be farther away then, this wouldn't work, and it would be more days stuck like he had been.

It was his only hope of being returned to normal too, he couldn't keep living like this. Time wasn't on his side and neither was the other damn person. This was ending tonight even if it meant he'd die because he wasn't going to do this anymore. It was hell, he wanted to be free so badly, but he didn't want leave Caroline so before he left he'd taken the spell book put it in the bag he still had between his teeth.

He was tired of being fucked with and he deserved to be free once and for all. Caroline didn't deserve this either. He could feel her even when he wasn't in control; it was like his heart was connected to her. Tyler stopped running reaching the house, he was tired, but he couldn't shift back yet. He had to be with Caroline first.

The door was locked but he found the second floor window open, he jumped through it sliding on the carpet that was there. He just hoped he hadn't made any sound as he made his way down the stairs to where Caroline was. He could hear her doing something, he just wasn't sure what. As he got closer he recognized the sound. She was throwing up, she was sick, but vampires didn't get sick.

Caroline was too distracted leaning over the toilet to hear as Tyler entered the house. He'd been so quiet that when he dropped the bag she jumped. Caroline was puzzled at first looking at the black wolf standing before her. Tyler moved forward barking before he turned around twice, he really did hate this part. The wolf was not helping at all, but with three fucking people in his body he really was glad only two could talk right now.

"Tyler," She finally said before she put her arms around his neck, "I was so worried you wouldn't make it," he must been able to leave quicker on four legs she thought. She didn't want let go, but when he started whining she pulled back. She knew something else was wrong, just by looking at him, she saw something there. It wasn't just Tyler or the wolf, something else was there but right now it wasn't awake. She could just feel the evil that was coming from the man she loved.

Tyler didn't know if he could change back and keep the hold he had, but he had to. He moved back nuzzling the bag towards her. Right now he was going to hope this would work he'd written a note out at the front of the book. He'd told her everything in the note especially why he hadn't followed her when she'd left.

Caroline opened the bag pulling out the book recognizing it already to be the spell book that Bonnie always used. She didn't understand until she read the note that Tyler had put there. She looked up at the wolf the words didn't come out, but she thought them. Somebody was going to pay for what they'd done. She could tell that not only was the wolf thinking it but Tyler too. She was being kept from her man because of this shit; hell was going to get company soon.

"I'm going to fix this, I don't know how, but I will," She said rubbing the top of the wolf's head; she'd petted him before like this. She wasn't sure what she'd need, but she flipped to the page of the spell that he'd marked. The power from the full moon would be enough to break it she just needed one more thing. They had till morning to pull this off or she was going have to run and stay hidden till the next full moon.

Caroline made sure all the doors and windows were locked before going back to the bedroom where Tyler was at. She smiled seeing him for second time in a month leaning against the window. He was in his human form now, the moon light hitting his face just right. She put her hand on his bear back before he turned around.

He hadn't had time to think about what he'd put on once he got here. All he'd thought about was Caroline and being free again. Tyler looked at her, it seemed like ages, but it had only been a month. She looked paler than normal and weak like she hadn't had blood in days.

She'd already taken her clothes off down stairs. He wanted more time to protect her from this. There was nobody else he could turn too however, he'd already told her what had happened. After he told her everything that wasn't in the letter they'd ended up having sex on the bathroom floor.

She was about to say something when he pulled her close kissing her. Caroline wrapped her arms around his neck holding him close too. He picked her up carrying her to the bed, he just thanked god it had been really him when they'd had sex. He had enough time to be with her again before he had to go if this didn't work. He was holding on for dear life to keep the other person at bay. The wolf was helping him, giving him another chance with Caroline.

Caroline looked up at him, his brown eyes looking back at her blue ones. She loved him and she already had a plan worked out if this didn't work. She'd found a trap in the spell book that would work, she had drawn it on the floor and ceiling to be on the safe side. It would hold the person or thing you wanted to trap. "I love you Tyler," she said running her hand over his face.

"I love you too, Caroline," he kissed her claiming her lips as he thrust inside of her, claiming her body again as well. He needed for her to know that he loved her and if he couldn't come back to her, she'd have this memory. He ran his hands over her body touching as much skin as he could. She felt cold and he wanted to warm her, she needed to get stronger before this spell.

Caroline arched up meeting his every thrust as he made love to her. She let the tears fall from her eyes, he was here and she had him again. It had to work because the fates couldn't be this cruel to them after all they'd been through. She held onto him as close as she could get to him feeling her orgasm starting. He picked up the pace moving faster kissing her neck before whispering in her ear.

He told her to drink from him; she had to be strong enough to do the spell. She wasn't a witch so she was going need the strength. He'd been weakened and maybe he could keep control better this way. Caroline didn't want to at first, but she knew she had to. Once they were cumming she pierced his neck with her fangs drinking his blood.
