Thank you to those that reviewed and let me know that somehow when publishing the chapter it was all messed up and showed all the codes. I'm sorry I didn't notice, but please, I hope you enjoy the story!

Caroline Forbes knew she was in trouble the first time Niklaus Mikealson showed interest in her. Back then she didn't understand the emotions she got from just seeing him, or when they'd accidentally touch, but then again how can a baby vampire truly know her advanced feelings? Klaus openly showed his affections for Caroline, which made things with her boyfriend of the time, Tyler Lockwood, get bad vibes.

She didn't really understand him, he was their enemy, had tried to kill herself and her friends on multiple occasions. Then, out of nowhere, he announces that he has feelings for her. To say Caroline was confused was an understatement.

They'd been through too much, him and his family trying to kill her, kill her friends and succeeding at some. Their lives were a mess.

To make it worse, she now had to two beautiful little girls she had to watch over. Well, it wasn't really a bad thing, she loved them, it was just bad timing. With Bonnie and Elena's lives link, causing Elena to sleep till Bonnie dies, the girls were torn. Caroline wanted nothing more than to be by Bonnie's side in her time of need, but as she drove down a road she swore she'd never go down, she had to think of her daughters to worry about.

Going to New Orleans was not on Caroline's to do list, especially after her goodbye with Klaus, but her daughters needed to be safe. Who better than to go look for than the original hybrid himself?

She knew she was crazy, yet she didn't care. All Caroline wanted was for her children to be safe, to not have to deal with all the supernatural drama she did. So here she was, entering New Orleans with Lizzie in her arms and Josie holding onto her hand.

Immediately Caroline knew there were supernaturals crawling all over the place, watching her, trying to see if she was a threat. She tried to avoid all eye contact, that is until a dark skinned man came up out of seemingly nowhere and started walking next to her. She knew he was a vampire right away and pulled Josie closer to her, not wanting to take any risks.

The man let out a low chuckle before speaking. "What business does a young vampire have in my city?"

To say this chocked Caroline was an understatement. His city? Wasn't it Klaus'?

Slowly, Caroline turned her head, but continued walking, "I'm searching for a friend of mine that invited me a few years ago." Of course she left out who she was looking for, not knowing if this man was an enemy of the Mikealsons.

The man had been looking at Lizzie who had started falling asleep in her mothers arms, then back up to Caroline who was once more pulling her daughters closer to her. Nodding at her he started walking away, yet Caroline knew he wanted her to follow him and was confirmed with the idea when he turned to her again and motioned with his hand. Not knowing what else to do, she followed him down the road they were on until they stood in front of what looked like an old church, only when inside it turned out to be some sort of gym.

Once more the man stood near Caroline, only this time in front of her. He held out his hand in a greeting, but then stopped when he realized the your blonde wouldn't let go of the girls in her arms to shake it.

With a sigh he turned to sit on the side of what looked like boxing ring. The dark skinned man stared at Caroline with determination written all over his face.

"I'll ask again, what are you doing in my city? You say it's to visit a friend yet you carry two very human children with you, a vampire having children is unheard of."

Straight to the point

Caroline looked at Lizzie who was now fully asleep in her arms with a soft smile on her face, then to Josie who was looking around the makeshift gym in awe. Her smile only grew wider while watching her children, then turned back to the man in front of her.

"Well there are some exceptions I guess because I gave birth to them."

Now that shocked the man in front of her. He started thinking of Haley and Hope, was she a hybrid that also had a child with Klaus? That would explain why she was in New Orleans of all places.

Before he could speak again, Josie tugged on her mothers hand getting both the vampires attention.

"Mommy I'm hungry."

Those three simple words made Caroline realize just how late it was now. She handy fed the girls dinner!

With a smile on her face Caroline answered, "well then let's go find something to eat, shall we?" This caused Josie to smile and clap with a little laugh.

The man watched this take place, still trying to figure out who this vampire was and was once more interrupted before he could ask. Only this time by one of his men.

"Marcel," a young vampire started as he appeared in the room, "they're leaving New Orleans. Werewolves of the pack are helping them."

Marcel turned to the new vampire in the room with a frown on his face. "Damn it."

The vampire that entered then took notice of Caroline and her girls. He smiled while nodding at Caroline and then turned to Josie, kneeling down, "hi I'm Josh. You are?" He asked in a sweat voice.

Josie turned to look up at her mother who smiled down at her.

Turning back to Josh, Josie lifted her small hand and waved back, "I'm Josie."

"Josie," Josh smile widened at the little girl, "what a beautiful name."

This made Josie giggle into her hand and slowly moved a little further from her mothers leg, still holding her hand.

"I'm named after my mom."

This had both Josh and Marcel look at Caroline in question, them thinking Josie meant her. Caroline shook her head that the glances.

"No, I'm Caroline. It's a long story." Caroline tried to quickly explain without giving to much away about her two little miracles. These strangers didn't need to know about the twins abilities or that they were the heirs to the Gemini Coven.

Marcel, still looking confused, let it drop for the moment and turned back to Josh. "Is Freya with them or just the grandma?"

"Just the grandma, she was putting Hope in the car while Haley packed it up. Some other wolves were helping her pack."

Those names made Caroline look at the two men with wide eyes. They must know Klaus if they knew about Hope.

"You guys know?"

Her question once more made the two men turn to her in confusion.

"You know Klaus?" Marcel asked with a dangerous look in his eyes.

From his expression Caroline now knew he was an enemy of Klaus, and in turn pulled Josie towards her once more. Holding her head high she just nodded at him in response.

Getting the idea she wouldn't say anything further for now, Marcel turned to Josh, "make sure they get out okay. No harm is to come to Hope." With a nod Josh was gone, once more leaving Marcel with Caroline and the twins.

Caroline was the first to speak this time, "so Marcel?" She questioned the name a bit, and with his nod she continued, "how do you know Klaus?"

Marcel looked conflicted, "how about this, I answer completely honest, you answer completely honest?" For a minute Caroline thought this over, but eventually gave in.

"Yeah, alright. Sounds fair, but no questioning my kids. Deal?"

Marcel allowed this not seeing how the kids would be able to answer anything anyway. Before thy could start questioning Josie tugged on her mothers hand once more, making both vampires remember that the little girl was hungry.

Caroline turned to Marcel, "know anywhere good to eat?"
