I do not own the Originals or The Vampire Diaries. I just own how the story was written.

I'm meaning this to be a one shot, two if there are many questions I left unanswered. I apologize for that if I did. I've been writing this on my phone for a while and I just wanted to finish and post it. Thanks all, please review. It means so much when you do!

Klaroline Rewritten

His father would not relent until he was dead, of that Niklaus was sure. He'd staggered through the woods until he found his sanctuary. A small little hut a ways away from the family home. If he'd stayed Mikael would just keep at him and he was not a fan of his siblings seeing him in that state. It wasn't long after he made it in that Caroline followed suit. She was the only other person he'd allowed to come here unless it was an emergency. It was his hiding place from his father after all if he found it, he'd destroy it. He showed it to her when he realized she would need one too. "Caroline, please go." The stubborn girl shook her head and dug her heels in. Insisting on staying to help him. Cursing herself for not being there. Could it be Mikael was catching onto her having the forethought of sending her away to the river? Well, she couldn't think of that now.

She'd made him a concoction that smelled of blood but made him drink it. It didn't look like any potion he'd seen before it literally looked like blood and a random leaf or two. Still, he trusted her and drank it. He'd been wrong of course the potion worked wonders, though his bones were still sore from the beating. What he needed now was rest.

"You'll make an amazing wife someday" He whispered to her, it made her smile. He liked that, very much, being the man that made her smile.

"Are you asking for my hand, Niklaus?" She said amused. It also surprised her how much she welcomed the thought. She had learned so much in her time here. About the Originals, now her friends, and about Klaus. It had changed her perception of them completely and also being here with no amenities whatsoever, humbled her. It made her realize what was important. Like family and knowing how to be self-sufficient. She almost wished Elena had been forced here with her, she could've use those lessons.

"You deserve better, Caroline. A man that can give you the finer things in life. Dresses, jewelry, a big hut and put food on the table. Someone like me could never give that to you.'' As much as it broke him to admit that and her to hear it, for him it was true. He had no riches or strength to speak of. Caroline, the beautiful angel of mercy that she was, deserve more. It was sheer luck that she hadn't seen it up until now but he wouldn't allow her to waste her life on him. It would be a truth he would break to her himself.

What he didn't realize is that he was wrong, and Caroline had a different truth. "For what? Fancy dresses to go to gatherings I don't want to go to. Jewelry to impress people I don't much like. And…and a big over the top hut where I have to give children to a man I don't even love!" Tears stung her eyes as they fell. That had been her fate before she was turned in to a vampire. That was the only thing she was good for. That is the life he wanted for her. He couldn't fault him, he didn't know any better. It was the best life that a woman in her situation could hope for.

How did he not see all she wanted was him! More importantly how did she not see it before, herself? Perhaps it was the 1000 year wall of pain and betrayal that he hid behind. Or it could have been her own cowardice. Whatever it was, it was gone and all there was left was them.

Caroline grabbed his face, staring in to his endless blue eyes. Years of pain staring back at her and the poor man hadn't even begun to live yet. "Listen to me Niklaus, because this is important. I love you. I love how my name sounds when you say it. I love the way you look at me like I'm this treasure you found. I love how sweet you are with your sister and younger brothers. I love your drawings, and how I look in them. I love how you'll eat anything I make and tell me it's great even though we both know its not. I love who I am when I'm with you. I will always love you. 1,000 years from now I want to wake up in the morning and turn over and see you there sleeping, even if it's in this cute little hut. Which I also love, by the way. It's small which means I'll have more excuses to bump into you or maybe even give you a kiss…" She was pleading with him. Hoping that he understood how real all this was for her.

Even his dreams had never been so deliriously sweet. Niklaus didn't know what to say partly because he wasn't sure any of it was real. He was sure of the beating his father gave him but her…she couldn't be. Someone so spirited and full of light. When he first met her she was a lost girl that he tried to help but instead he punished her into living with his father. The only way his father would allow her to stay is if she earned her keep by bedding him when he asked. Niklaus always had the impression that his father did it to hurt him for bringing Caroline into their home. A thought that made Niklaus sick and even more so, when his mother agreed and as did she. He couldn't look at in the first few weeks after that not because he thought less of her but because he had brought this on her. He did however think less of his mother, who allowed Caroline to take her place so she wouldn't have to be with him anymore.

Slowly though, he and Caroline began to connect and Niklaus fell for her every day. Her light, not tarnished by the heathen his father was, brought him hope. Hope that he was still in time to save her. He remembered an explicit night she was to bed his father, Niklaus had decided no more. He would stand up to Mikael and take Caroline somewhere safe. What he found was the angel that had come to him as a gift was more magical then he thought. He saw her casting her spell, looking Mikael in the eye, making him believe that they had been together when really he just slept. Brilliant. It was after that they'd become closer without his guilt getting in the way. Sneaking off when no one was watching. Glancing at one another anytime there was a chance. He'd fallen completely in love with her and as did his brother's and sister. Her ability to cast spells on his father became a secret between Caroline and the Mikaelson siblings. They dared not tell their mother, as they weren't sure which side she was on, half the time.

Niklaus became convinced there wasn't anything she couldn't do, hence making her too good for a man like him.

''Did I misread our connection? She spoke her voice breaking. His silence killing her. She knew he cared for her but maybe the issue was he lacked confidence to fight for her. It was ironic that it was now her fighting for him, wanting to show him all the world had to offer. Not places or things but love and family. ''No, my love, my sweet, sweet Caroline. You have not.'' He confessed. He'd already told her that he wasn't worthy but she still insisted on wasting her love on him. Would he be a fool not to take it? No. No he would not.

The sweet smile of her lips betrayed her wicked intentions. She placed her lips on his, softly, at first then more feverish. She wanted him, in the worst way possible and she was sure he felt the same. He is the man she loved, why wouldn't she want to give herself to him. They were alone, no one was expecting them, Niklaus was all healed. So as her hands left his face to work on taking off his belt. 10th Century had a lot of layers to bother with.

"My love, we are not wed the towns people will speak ill of you." He murmured into her lips.

"Let them. It'll finally give them something interesting to talk about."

"I'll have to fight the village for your honor. I won't have them disgracing you like that." He told her almost like a vow and he would do it for her

.

"Nik if you don't mind I'm trying to actually make love with the man I, do, love." She kissed him with all the passion he himself had for her. They were the same, he realized. She really did love him, poor girl. After that he didn't object. He would make an honest woman out of her, later. For now, she was his and he was hers.

Sometime in the future…

Dear Klaus,

By the time you read this letter, it'll be too late to get me back. I have fallen in love. He's sweet, strong, caring, and I think you'll approve. It's you, and I think it was always been meant to be you. No, I know it. You may be aware that Bonnie sent me back in time to stop you from becoming vampires or a hybrid in your case. That hasn't happened yet, but so you know I won't. For no other reason other than my own selfishness. I want 1000 more years with you and your family. Except Mikael. I get it now, he's a real prick. I don't know what killing him will do for or against your family so I don't dare risk it but it's not for lack of wanting too.

Furthermore, Klaus I know you'll all try to get me back home. Please don't. I can't leave you knowing that you'll spend 1000 years alone and chasing cures like it will somehow fix what's broken in you, I won't. Klaus you are not broken. I've felt your capacity to love and your ability to care. So you might be a little bit damaged, we all are. Even me. But I know you. You are loyal, strong and even kind. Though, you pretend not to be. I love you. It took me traveling back 1000 years to a place with no water or plumbing to realize it but I finally did.

Please tell Rebekah that I'm sorry but I've changed our history. We're best friends now and she is so, sweet. Tell Elijah thank you for all the sage advice and for all the times he took Tatia away so I didn't have to slap her. To Kol, thanks for all the jokes and entertainment. I'm sorry to all the Mikaelson's but Finn creeps me out. I tend to stay away from him. To your mother if you see her, and she's still trying to kill you, tell her I Said she's welcome and that she owes me more than I owe her for food and boarding.

To my mother, my friends, it doesn't really matter. Sorry to say, I know it sounds cruel. They won't know me. My history will change and entangle itself with yours. Though still tell Elena I never really liked her. Tell Bonnie thank you. I'll see you soon, I'll be the woman on the other side of your bed. Be well Klaus. I love you.

-Caroline

Klaus read the letter out loud to everyone as it was addressed to him. They had tried to return Caroline to their time not knowing what changed. The portal opened and on the other side was Mystic Falls a thousand years earlier. They'd seen Caroline in a field of flowers with Rebekah. "Is that me?" She had asked but didn't get an answer. Though it surprised a few of the Scooby-doers that she knew what was happening. The only thing that came through the portal was a letter. Caroline refused to come through and ran the other way after waving Good-bye to everyone. Time hadn't changed yet but it will. His story will be linked with her and he'll be an entirely different man, presumably. The idea didn't total sit well with him. Still his heart beat loud and strong in his ears; he couldn't hear anything else. She had left to stop him from becoming a hybrid and ended falling in love with him instead. She given up everything she knew to stay, with him. What was he supposed to do with that?

Klaus wasn't the only one affected, the other Originals were too. This was a girl that was their enemy. A girl who fell for their brother knowing who he'd become and accepted all of them in the process. Elijah and Rebekah held out the most hope that this would end well for Niklaus. "It's starting," Rebekah said softly. It wasn't instantaneous, it was slow and easy as if the memories were traveling 1000 years just to get to them. Little memories rewriting the ones from before.

"What is?" Asked Bonnie, shocked and hurt standing out of the myriad of emotions she was feeling.

"History is correcting itself." Elijah clarified.

"I didn't ask her to do this! Why did she do this? She's going to change everything!" Klaus yelled, overwhelmed with a thousand emotions he also didn't ask for. The memories weren't just coming to him he found he was searching them out. They all were. They all wanted to know what had changed.

Without warning Kol started to laugh. "Has anyone else gotten the memory where she asked where the refrigerator was?" The other Originals looked amused. Klaus laughed uncontrollably. Pinching the bridge of his nose to stop from crying. No he didn't get that memory but the ones he did have were overwhelming him slowly. Like sweet Torture. He sat in the recliner in what still was Caroline's house.

"My memories, I feel like I'm starting to forget her." Said Elena. "In the battle of who gets to keep Caroline…she goes to the Originals. The next time we see her, we won't know her and she'll likely be turned with them." Said Bonnie.

"We'll take good care of her. She is, after all, a Mikaelson now." Said Klaus, it felt surprising good to say that. There was a certain pride he felt even seeing this siblings start to acknowledge it.

"So that's it Caroline just leaves me, and chooses you. You always get what you want in the end don't you?" Tyler stepped up with hate and anger.

"No, wolfy it's worse than that. Caroline chose them over all of us, including her mother. Probably guessing that we wouldn't remember."

"I can do a spell, I can make us not forget." Bonnie said with confidence.

"Let her go already. The girl has made her choice. She travel to 10 century Mystic Falls to get the hell away from the lot of you. Not us though, she likes us. I'm sure I'm her favorite. The memory isn't there yet but, look at me." Kol said with his usual confidence.

"Clearly your dementia is still alive and well in this new version of history. Hopefully it still has yet to change. And if she has a favorite it's clearly me. Women always band together when there is duress. You men being the duress"

"She married me." Was all Klaus had to say.

And as Tyler had said, Klaus always wins.
