"You mustn't make me do this mother." Caroline whinnied. " I want to find true love not like this!" " Hun we need the kingdoms to form an alliance and this is the only way." Liz said, a little frustrated. At that moment Katherine walked in. " what is all this fuss about, mother?" She asked. " We are getting an arranged marriage, KATHERINE!" Caroline screamed. Katherine looked shocked, since she spoke of true love since she was a young one. " who shall Caroline and I be married too?" Katherine said. " we are meeting with the Mikaelsons tomorrow at noon, you both will be meeting all the brothers and whoever you love will be your husband." Liz announced. " how many brothers are there and what are their names?" Katherine asked politely. " I'm fairly certain there are 3 brothers and their names are Niklaus, Elijah, and Kol." Liz replied. " who is the oldest and who's the youngest?" Katherine inquired. " no more questions Katherine my darling, you shall meet Klaus tomorrow once they get here and Caroline darling you shall be meeting Kol first." "Wait, mother who shall Elijah be meeting then?" Caroline asked. " well, he will be given a tour of the castle while you two talk to your princes. Now get some rest it's a big day for you two tomorrow." Liz exclaimed. Next Day - "CAROLINE! CAROLINE! Wake up it's already 10:00 you must get ready, remember you are meeting Kol today?" Katherine yelled. "Katherine must I meet him?" Caroline mumbled. " yes, yes come on aren't you excited?" Katherine said shaking Caroline trying to wake her up. " alright, alright I'll get ready just give me an hour please" Caroline mumbled, stumbling out of bed. " hurry" Katherine stated leaving the room. "Why do I have to meet this strange man named, Kol?" Caroline said to herself, while getting into the bathtub. Caroline laid herself in the tub and felt relaxed. After a while she finally got out, dried her hair, and got changed into a long, wavy, navy blue dress. Walking out of her room she saw her mom, dad, and Katherine waiting by the door. "What are you all doing it's only 11:00, aren't they coming at 12:00?" Caroline asked worried. "There has been a change of plans, they are coming over for breakfast." Bill exclaimed. "Oh no, oh no" Caroline thought to herself. "Are you alright Caroline? You look worried" Liz said worriedly. "Oh, I'm fine mother, just a little nervous that's all." Caroline said. With that Caroline walked up and stood next to her sister and took her hand in hers and squeezed it. Katherine look over to her sister and assured her that everything was going to be okay. All I a sudden the drawbridge was lowered and they could see a carriage slowly coming towards them. " this is it" Katherine exclaimed taking her hand from Caroline. "This is it" Caroline whispered back. "Welcome Mikeal, we are glad that you and your sons could join us here today." Liz welcomed. I looked up from the ground and my eyes instantly connected with a man with sandy hair and blue eyes. His eyes were so beautiful. I couldn't look away, until my sister grabbed my arm and took me into the kitchen and close the door behind me. "Caroline, hello? Look at me, are you ok?" "Why were you staring at Niklaus?" Katherine asked. "How do you know that was Niklaus?" Caroline asked? "Well mom told me the names and their looks so I just figured that, that was Niklaus." Katherine spoke. They faintly heard their mom calling for them. "Caroline come on we must get to the table for breakfast." Katherine exclaimed. They walked to the dining room and saw that no one was sitting and were waiting for them. "You didn't have to wait." Katherine said to Mikeal. "My sons insisted that we wait, so that we can introduce ourselves correctly." Mikeal stated. And with that they started introducing themselves. "These are my sons Elijah, Niklaus, and my youngest Kol." Today Katherine will be meeting Niklaus and Caroline will be meeting Kol." "Enough of this talking let's all have a seat and eat." Bill announced. Bill and Mikeal sat on the ends, Katherine sat next to her mother and next to Elijah. And Caroline was sitting in between Kol an Niklaus. They talked all through the breakfast and when the finally finished Kol took Caroline's hand in his and took her on a walk outside. But Niklaus insisted that he and Katherine take a stroll in the garden. Caroline's POV - As Kol and Caroline walked into the village, Caroline would occasionally glance over at Kol and not say a word. "How about we make this less awkward by talking about something, sweet Caroline." Kol said. Caroline blushed when he said sweet Caroline. "Well then Prince Kol what shall we talk about then?" She said with sarcasm. "We can start by telling me about yourself." "Have you ever fallen in love before?" Kol asked curiously. "You know I just found out yesterday that I was going to be in an arranged marriage, and I was mad that I would never find happiness with my one true love, whoever it may be." Caroline said sadly. "You know that your parents would have never done this unless they had too. I'm sure they love you very much." Kol spoke. "Ok enough about me tell me about yourself Prince Kol." Caroline let out. "Hmm what is there about me that is interesting." Kol mentioned. " there has to be something Kol." Caroline said. "Well for one I am the only fun one of the family, Elijah is too stiff and loyal, and Niklaus is ok most of the time but when he gets mad, he gets mad." Kol stated. "We should start heading back now we've been out for a whole now." Caroline said relieved that it was time to leave. Katherine's POV - "Hello my name is Katherine" "I'm Niklaus, but you can call me Klaus." They sat down on a bench in the flower garden. "I hate to break it to you, but I think my sister is already falling for you." Katherine exclaimed playfully. "And why is that, love?" Klaus asked. "Well, I think you saw the way she looked at you when you just came here, and she just couldn't take her eyes off of you. Your charms must have hypnotized her." Katherine laughed. Taking a risk Katherine asked quietly and shyly "do you fancy her back?" Klaus looked at the way Katherine said that and saw sorrow in her eyes, and it came to him, "she must like my company" he thought to himself. He didn't know for sure if he liked her yet, he needed to get to know her more. "So tell me about yourself ms Katherine Pierce." Klaus spoke. "Ok well where should I start? Hmm. I'm really not Caroline's sister by birth." Klaus cut in, "why?" " I'd really not like to talk about that now please. It's a bit personal." Katherine replied. Klaus wanted to know, but saw sadness in her eyes and knew that it was a hard subject. He himself wouldn't want to talk about his past either. "I think we should go now." Katherine queried instinctively. "If you insist Ms Pierce." Klaus spoke. At the front of the gates Katherine stopped. "Is something wrong, love?" Katherine looked at him and broke down in tears. "I'm sorry for ruining our time together, I wish that you will find happiness with my sister, because a man like you should never be without happiness." Klaus looked shocked and grasped her hand, "Our time together was no waste, and I rarely find a woman like you ever. You have a true heart, Ms Pierce." Klaus replied sincerely. They walked in the gate together and the maids immediately took Katherine to her chambers since she was crying.
