Hi everyone! A new fic featuring Klaroline! This takes place 1 year after The Vampire Diaries Season 5 episode 11, 100th episode technically. So the plot in that episode is very important to this fanfic.

Please do drop reviews and comments and I hoped you'll enjoy the story!

Rebekah

"We really have to do something this time. For one year, I listened to Elijah, I laid low, I stayed alongside Nik and offered my help. I trusted him that he for once truly wants our family, wants me, to be happy. But no, what do I get in return? The moment he finds out that we're happily and secretly in love again - a threat to dagger me, a threat to kill you, all over again. You'd think that this was not possible after all that you've 2 been through together in the last year and your newfound closeness with one another. After all that I've gave in to him through the past year. Can he not see that? My tyrant of a brother constantly condemn me for loving, never allowing me happiness, and this time its no exception and nothing's changed, not even after a year of loyalty we've shown him. Don't you get it Marcel?"

Rebekah has been so worked up she haven't realize a tear was sliding down her cheeks until Marcel reached out and wiped it away from her face. She was so mad, so angry, so hurt, so betrayed. Since the argument with Elijah last year, she thought through and decided to give Niklaus one more chance, not that he deserved it, but always and forever, isn't that what they Mikaelsons always live by? She offered Niklaus her help whenever needed during the whole witch business.

It had taken a while, but finally they've managed to defeated off Sabine who was Elijah's old lover Celeste, Sophie has then managed to then complete the harvest and revived the sacrifices, including Davina. Marcel had been happy then. Rebekah herself, too. Davina was too young and innocent to be sacrifice just like that, and she's glad that it all worked out in the end. Since then, New Orleans had been in balance, with Sophie as the leader of the witches, Nik has ensured that the witches abide to the rules of the city and all supernatural species and the humans live in peace. Even Hayley found remnants of her werewolves family and while they were allowed back into the quarters, they remained in the bayou to avoid any incidents. Everyone was happy, so it seems, Rebekah had refound her connection with Marcel over the year as well, and they had been sort of together, until this morning, when Nik found out what was going on between the two and make those threatens again.

She had been living with Elijah and Nik just fine. Surprisingly, Nik has been an adoring brother over the year. She had believed he'd changed. But she was never more wrong. People never changed. Not to mention her tyrant of a brother. So here she is, trying to think of something with Marcel, to make them work again. She can't afford to lose Marcel, not again.

"We could walk away. Leave. Run from New Orleans. Find a place, and never come back. You and I." Marcel softly whispered to her as he pulled her to him.

"Run. But what then? Nik would become like Mikael used to, he would constantly hunt us down for the rest of the eternity, I'm sure. I'm his sister and he treats you like a son. He will never stop coming after us. We have to… deal with him." Rebekah slowly organized her thoughts. She made a wrong choice 1 year ago to forgive Nik. She would not allow herself to make the same mistake again.

"But how? You know I'd do anything to be with you, Rebekah. But Klaus, he is powerful. We can't work anything up against him. Do you not remember? The last time we tried something, it backfired so badly. I don't want to risk anything putting us in a worse state than now already."

"I know…" Rebekah replied, understanding Marcel's doubts. There has to be something she could do, to go up against Nik. There has to be. Maybe she could ally with the witches, like how she used to plan a year ago. Now that the witches have a fair amount of power, she could.

"Well then, I guess you could use me."

Rebekah turned to the ever so familiar voice, someone standing at the entrance of the Garden.

"Who are you?" Marcel asked with a guarded expression.

"Long time no see, Rebekah Mikaelson." The figure spoke again.

Rebekah stared at the figure standing at the entrance of the Garden in shock for a few good seconds before she could speak again.

"E…Elena Gilbert."

Caroline

She first awoke in darkness before she could make out faint sounds of a car radio. It was definitely night time, how long has she been out? The last thing Caroline remembered before she was knocked out was seeing Elena back in Mystic Falls, showing up at her place, where she has been back from Whitmore for the weekend. She has been feeling so different, so down that the sight of Elena standing in her doorway made her forgot anything else. It has been a year since Caroline last saw Elena. The night Katherine was suppose to die. She never did pass through Bonnie to the other side. It didn't take long for the Salvatores and the rest of them to figure out that Katherine had become a passenger in Elena's body, but then it was too late and Katherine had made the run for it in her best friend's body. Damon and Stefan had been devastated. Jeremy, all of them too. They had tried every way they could and still couldn't find Elena/Katherine. So when Elena finally showed up a year later, Caroline was beyond thrilled. Until she snapped her neck. Now that Caroline is more awake, she was sure that was definitely Katherine. She was still residing in Elena's body. Was that even possible? Caroline thought to herself. The fact and thought that her best friend has been suppressed in her own body for a year, she shuddered. The problem now is, where is she? She tried to look for her phone but it was nowhere in her pocket anymore. She make out her surrounding to be in the back of a truck. She's on the road, to god knows where and who is taking her.

The truck stopped after awhile and she gets ready to launch herself at whoever opens the door, until the face she thought who would never be appeared infront of her eyes as the door to the back of the truck opens.

"Tyler?! What the hell are you doing? Are you kidnapping me?" Caroline was shocked and angered. Of all people, Tyler, her ex, whom she considered to be a good friend since happenings of the past year. But he's standing infront of her now, with a nonchalant look and not to mentioned the fact that he is working with Katherine and betraying Caroline.

"Look, Care. Nothing personal okay? I have been waiting for this day for a year. When Katherine showed up and offered me a chance, I can't say no. I had no idea what to do with my life. I didn't have you, I don't have my mum, and my revenge is yet done. I have nothing to live for except revenge against him."

Revenge against him? It took Caroline seconds to figure out what was Tyler saying. So much has happened to her in the past year, that at some point, she stopped thinking so much about him. Klaus. "Oh my god. You're using me to get back at Klaus. I thought you were over revenge. You were just fine over the last year."

"You're wrong. I was never fine. Never. I only acted like I'm fine because what happened to you, you needed friends then. But months passed, and now I'm offered a plan to revenge again. I'm sorry I have to use you Care. But Katherine promised that you're only a pawn in this game. You won't be really hurt."

Caroline felt angry tears coming to her eyes. "Months passed?! My sorrow has never been drown over time. I didn't recover from what happened Tyler, and I don't think I EVER will. Whatever is up with you and your revenge, you don't use your good friend here."

"Sorry Care. But you're our only shot and getting back at that son of a bitch." Without letting Caroline say another word, Tyler snapped her neck again.

"I'm sorry Care. I love you, but I have to do this." Tyler whispered as he carried Caroline out of the truck.
