Your Perfect Disaster

"For Jess"
Caroline hummed as she ironed her dress, stood in her dark blue bra and panties as she swayed in time to the music on her earphones, setting the iron down and folding it up as she blasted the volume higher.
A tap on her shoulder made her scream, almost knocking the iron to the floor.
Caroline tugged her earphones from her ears, groaning at her mother as she went, a hand over her heart. "Mom! You can't just… sneak up on someone like that-!"
Elizabeth Forbes arched a brow and set the iron right, going. "I thought you would have heard me." Caroline wrinkled her nose and held up an earphone, making the woman hold up her hands. "Ok, guilty. Hurry, you'll be late."
The vampire glanced to the time and groaned, yanking the dress from the ironing board and slipping it on, smoothing the front of it down as she kissed her mothers cheek, saying hurriedly. "See you later."
When school was over, she head back home and collapsed onto the sofa where her eyes closed. But her moment of peace didn't last that long as the phone buzzed in her back pocket, Caroline groped around for it, pressing the correct button and muttered. "Aha-?"
"Are you at home?"
"Yep Elena. Why?"
"Me and Bonnie, boredom strikes again."
"Well, come over."
As the call ended, Caroline just lay there, listening to the water dripping in the sink, sighing lightly as she sat up, groaning out. "Shake a leg Caroline."
All too soon, the doorbell rang and she trotted over to the door and yanked it open, next to beaming at the pair as she stepped aside, letting them in.
Elena laughed out, turning to the blonde as she closed the door. "You'll never guess what Bonnie's been doing. It's pretty… amazing."
At that, Bonnie groaned, closing her eyes as she muttered. "I really shouldn't be even attempting it."
"Umm… is someone gonna tell me what you're talking about? Confused blonde here."
Bonnie giggled, then looked around, walking over to the vase and taking a rose, deliberately pulling off a petal and closing her eyes, muttering words Caroline didn't recognize, staring at the petal as it creeped back onto the main flower, frowning out. "What's this all about-?"
"Time, Caroline. Time. Timetravel!" Bonnie said excitedly and Caroline realized.
"Oh wow."
"Very wow." Bonnie smiled and ran a finger over the delicate petal, frowning a little as something entered her head.
An idea.
A deadly idea.
"What if… we could change things… I mean…" she started, furrowing her brows.
The other two were confused, and Bonnie elaborated, laughing lightly. "We have a way to stop Klaus."
"Umm…"
"We kill him."
"We could… but then Tyler and pretty much everyone would die." Caroline rolled her eyes, and Bonnie shook her head. "Not if he was human."
Now Caroline and Elena were confused, but then it dawned on Elena, chuckling weakly. "That's impossible. We can't just… zoom into the past and like, kill Klaus."
"Why can't we?" Caroline frowned and Bonnie knew this was against everything that it meant to… well, this wasn't the point of being a witch.
But she was doing this to create balance. To stop a terrible curse upon the earth.
It'd probably kill her… but it was worth it.
They'd grow up normal.
Free of supernatural occurrences.
Caroline realized that Bonnie was being serious now, blinking hard. "Are you seriously suggesting that we go back to the year billion or whatever and do that-?"
Bonnie was silent, then nodded. "Yes. One of us."
"You're being serious…" Elena muttered, and Bonnie smiled weakly, looking to Caroline. "It'd have to be you."
"Huh-? Why me?"
"I can't go. I'm performing the spell… and Elena can't go back. Tatia I'm sure she was called. Two doppelgangers wouldn't be good."
"I don't want to shoot into the past and like, do this!" Caroline scoffed, making Bonnie snap. "This isn't a joke. We can do something."
"What about Damon and-?" Elena started, but Bonnie shook her head, sighing. "We can't. Because things… will change if we make this work."
Caroline stood up now, saying coolly down at the pair. "Leave. I just… this is crazy. Insane."
"Caroline…"
"No! I just… out!"
They left and Caroline stared at the closed door after them, resting her forehead against it as she closed her eyes, thinking-
This… was crazy, beyond crazy.
But it made sense…
Your Perfect Distaster.
Caroline panted heavily as she ran through the shadowed woods, heart pounding wildly as she glanced behind her, feeling as wild as the woods itself.
A snap behind her made the girl stop dead, her muddied and spattered blonde hair sticking to her face as she raised her sword, glancing around with narrowed eyes, hissing. "Show yourself!"
Nothing but silence.
A dark, deep dark silence.
Caroline sat up with a start, hand fumbling through the darkness for the lampswitch, the warm glow lighting the room as she stared at a random piece of wall.
She wasn't some warrior princess.
She'd never be.
But… if Klaus liked her so much in the future, he would in the past. She stood a good chance.
My god she was actually considering this mad, mad plan.
But then she thought about the hundreds… thousands of people that Klaus had killed. All the Originals.
She had to.
Your Perfect Distaster.
"Ok so like… what do I have to do-?"
Bonnie bit her lip as she faced Caroline, placing her hands on the blonde temples, making her blink and ask. "I'll ask again."
"Their language. You wouldn't understand it. This… will let you understand it. And speak it."
"Huh?"
"A thousand years ago, there was no English language. It was native."
"Oh. Like… the runes? How there was no C in those days?"
"Mmmnmm."
"So I'm like… Karoline-?"
"Yes."
Caroline blinked as Bonnie pulled her hands away, going, confused. "I don't feel different."
Bonnie nodded, chucking a bag at the girl and Caroline looked inside, frowning at the fabric. "Umm… you call this clothes?"
"I call that 11th century clothes." Bonnie smiled sweetly, pulling the dark blue dress out and Caroline scowled. "It's not even a real dress!"
"Well duh."
"Ok miss expert of the Klaus human rah rah era. What do I even say?"
Bonnie gave up and told the girl to turn around, braiding Carolines hair back as she sighed. "You'll have a month."
"Time limit?"
"Yes. You don't want to get stuck in the past and screw up the future."
"This is all The Butterfly Effect weirdo shizz now."
Bonnie laughed and turned to Elena, muttering. "I need 11 candles."
"Why that many?"
"That's the century I'm aiming for."
"And if you miss it?"
Bonnies eyes were sharp at that, stepping back- they were at the witch house. They had no choice but to let Bonnie use them. She'd grown so very much in power and strength. Mental and her abilities. So deadly and dangerous.
Caroline pulled the dress on, and with her braided back hair, she caught sight of herself in the mirror, blinking in shock-
She looked like some ancient princess.
Not of this era.
She stood inside the circle of candles as Elena placed them down, and Bonnie slipped her a long wrapped package and Caroline frowned. "What's this?"
"What you'll use to kill him with."
Caroline fell silent at that, realizing that she was on a mission to kill Klaus.
"Good luck." Bonnie muttered, Elena nodding as she said the same. Caroline smiled weakly and listened as Bonnie started her chant, the flames flaring up making Caroline close her eyes as they engulfed her in a heat.
But then they vanished.
And she just… stared.
She was stood in the middle of some woods, the area dark. Nighttime.
Caroline bit her lip and shivered lightly as the breeze from the area swept through the area.
Now the game began.
One that ended with Klaus dying at her hand…
Or at the end of her sword.
