Authors note: I do apologize for the über late update! I hope you will enjoy this chapter though. Feel free to leave a review, I appreciate them all!
As for my other stories I'm putting them on hold to focus on this one. I might slip in a chapter or 2 on the others once in awhile. But don't expect any major updates on them!

Answers to reviews:
HotHybridSex - I am not a fan of Hayley, or the original story of The Originals. So I too love the re-writes, putting Caroline in Hayley's position. I think however it might get a bit difficult writing about the wolves and what not.

~ 3 days later ~
Caroline walked down the stairs as she let out a sigh, Klaus had informed her 3 days ago that Elijah had left to do something. He wouldn't specify exactly what it was and it bothered her.
"So Elijah hasn't called or checked in with you or Klaus for the past 3 days?" Stefan asked
"I don't know if he has contacted Klaus, since I barley see him. But from what Elena has told me about Elijah, he just doesn't seem like the guy to up and leave without telling me something. Especially not after he made all those epic promises about protecting me and my child." Caroline replied as she came to the end of the stairs.
"It doesn't seem like him." Stefan agreed and Caroline heard him shift gear.
"So when do you think you'll be here?" She asked making her way to the kitchen. "Well if I keep it up in this speed, roughly 9 hours." Stefan replied.
"Good, because I swear to god if I have to be alone one more day in this god forsaken house, I might just take off my daylight ring and kill myself." Caroline said as she opened up the fridge.
Stefan chuckled into the phone and Caroline smiled as she grabbed a hold of one of the blood bags.
"You don't talk to Klaus at all?" Stefan asked and Caroline ripped the blood bag open with her mouth.
"It's kind of hard to have a conversation with someone who is never here." Caroline said as she sipped away on the blood.
"Do you know what he is up to?"
Caroline swallowed the blood in her mouth before she answered him. "No, and I can't follow him because I'm locked up inside this house."
"Locked up? Like a spell?"
"No, more like a witch babysitter. Her name is Sabine." Caroline explained and she heard Stefan go 'Ohhh'.
"Just, hurry up and get here. Ok?" Caroline said and she heard Stefan let out a low chuckle.
"I'll step on it." He spoke and Caroline smiled before she hung up. Finishing her blood bag she threw it in the trash bin before making her way back upstairs.
2 days ago she had found what looked to be Elijah's journal. Or one of them atleast, and she hadn't meant to pry into his personal life, but once she had started to read it she couldn't stop.
Opening the door to her bedroom she made her way over to her dresser and fished the book up from underneath her clothes.
Getting into her bed she made herself comfortable before she started to read again.
'I have located the Petrova doppelgänger, her resemblance to Tatia is remarkable. I hope this gift will bring my brother into better moods. He's been quite angry and vicious lately. He refuses to let me know what is troubling him, but I believe it's the whispers of our father making his way to England. Hopefully that's all they are, whispers.'
Turning the page she eyed the content before flipping yet another page. Most of it was about Katherine. About how Elijah slowly but surely fell in love with her, like he had fallen for Tatia.
'Katerina managed to escape. Niklaus was not pleased, we searched the woods for her but came up empty. In a fit of rage Niklaus killed the castle servants and most of the vampires whom had joined us. News reached my ear that it had been Trevor whom had helped her escape.'
Caroline remembered Rose had spoken of someone named Trevor. And she remembered Elena had told her how Katherine had fooled Trevor, using her tricks and charm to make him believe she loved him.
How anyone could of fallen for Katherine was beyond her, but then again. Everyone seemed to fall left and right for Elena. So maybe it was something with the Petrova family gene.
Closing the journal she put it on her nightstand before she snuggled into her bed and fell asleep.

Klaus pushed the door to the coffee shop open, he looked around until he spotted the man he was searching for.
"Klaus, glad you could join me." The man called out, big grin on his face. Klaus gave him a grin back as he sat himself down opposite of the man.
"Well when the king of New Orleans calls for a meeting, who am I to decline him?" Klaus replied and the mans grin widened.
"I trust my brother is alright, Marcel?" Klaus asked as he eyed Marcel, whom in return nodded.
"He wont be harmed as I promised." Marcel replied as he looked back at Klaus, before his eyes wandered over to the blonde who was studying.
Klaus eyes followed Marcel's and he smirked. "Still have a thing for blondes I see." He spoke making Marcel roll his eyes.
"This one is special, a queen fit for a king." He answered and Klaus nodded. Klaus turned to look at the blonde again, she was packing up her books. Looking back to Marcel quickly he smirked and shot up.
"Excuse me, what's your name?" He asked and sent her a charming smile. The blonde smiled back shyly.
"Camille, but everyone calls me Cami." Cami said and Klaus grinned at her, lightly grabbing her arm leading her to their table.
"This is my friend Marcel, he seems to be smitten by a girl, but I'm afraid he lacks the confidence to talk to her. Maybe you could give him a few pointers?" Cami looked from Klaus to Marcel whom was looking slightly embarrassed.
"Well, I say take control. Ask her out, there is nothing sexier than a man who has confidence." She said.
"You heard her mate, take control." Klaus said and smirked at him. Cami gave them both a smile before she turned on her heel to walk away from them.
Marcel shot up from his seat. "So I can pick you up at 8?" He asked and Cami turned around to look at him.
"I work tonight." She said. "I'll pick you up after work , right?" Cami smiled and nodded.
"I'll see you there." She told him before she headed off, Marcel turned to Klaus and grinned. "It would appear that I have a date tonight." He said and Klaus chuckled as he looked at his friend.

~ Evening ~
Caroline sat up in her bed and stretched, she seemed to have slept throughout the day. Rubbing her eyes she lifted the cover and got out of the bed. Stopping in her tracks as she heard a car door slam shut. Flashing out of her room and down the stairs her happy face turned into a frown as a familiar blonde woman stepped through the front door.
"I'm happy to see you too, Caroline." Rebekah said flashing her a smile before shutting the door.
"What are you doing here?" Caroline asked as she crossed her arms across her chest. "Well, since Elijah wont answer my bloody phone calls I came to see what my evil brother has done to my good one." Rebekah answered and side stepped her.
"Nik, you narcissistic asshole, where are you? And what have you done to Elijah?" Rebekah called out walking into the livingroom. The doors to the dining hall opened and Klaus stood in the doorway, slight smirk on his face.
"Sister, enough with the shouting." He said as he stepped into the livingroom. "What have you done to Elijah?" She asked, glaring at him.
"Nothing, dear sister. He had to leave for some business, but I am happy you decided to return to our side." He replied looking rather satisfied.
"I'm not here for you Nik, I'm here to find Elijah. Because I know you did something to him." Rebekah snapped.
"Then I'm afraid you came in vain, I haven't done anything to our dear brother." Klaus replied calmly, Rebekah scoffed not believing him.
"The 6 men outside of the Quarter, I can assume that was you?" He asked and Rebekah smiled.
"They were rude, trying to jump an innocent woman who was simply looking for directions to the French Quarter. Where they friends of yours? Oh that's right, you don't have any." Klaus glared at her as Rebekah smirked.
"Now if you'll excuse me, I have a brother to find." Turning on her heel Caroline and Klaus watched as she marched out of the room. Caroline turned to Klaus and their eyes locked.
"So when will the Ripper be here?" He asked and Caroline shrugged. "Any minute now, would be my guess." Caroline replied and Klaus nodded.
Klaus eyed her for a moment, his eyes wandering down to her belly. It had grown slightly, but not much. He felt a strange happiness when he looked at her growing belly. He didn't know if it was because he had managed to knock her up and not his failure of a hybrid, or if it was something else. Could it be that he actually loved her?
He had only ever loved once, Tatia. She had betrayed him with his own brother, after that he had sworn to never love again. He would however not deny he had feelings for Caroline, she stirred something inside of him and he wasn't sure if he liked it.
"Klaus?" He heard her ask, snapping out of his thoughts his eyes rose from her belly to lock onto hers.
"What did you ask, love?" He asked.
"I asked if you were going to stay in tonight. You've been out ever night since I got here." Caroline said and Klaus shook his head.
"I'm afraid I cannot. I have business to attend to. But you have Rebekah here now, Sabine will be coming around shortly and the Ripper is bound to show up any minute." Klaus replied and Caroline nodded. Klaus noticed that she looked kind of sad.
"I can assume I'm forgiven then?" He asked and Caroline eyed him before she nodded. "Not entirely. You did leave me to die. But you are the father of my unborn child, I guess I'll have to tolerate you." She said sending him a smile, Klaus smiled back and nodded.
"I'm afraid I have to leave now, if Rebekah becomes a problem call me and I'll deal with her." He said as he leaned down and pressed a kiss to her cheek.
Caroline couldn't help but blush as she nodded. Klaus sent her a flirty grin before he stepped around her and left the house. Sighing Caroline turned around and walked out of the living room and into the entrance, just in time to see Rebekah making her way down the stairs.
"Seeing as you got nothing to do, you are going to help me find the caskets my brother drags along." She spoke and Caroline rolled her eyes as she followed after the bossy blonde.
"This house has many secret passages, but this room was my brothers favorite." Rebekah said as she shoved a bookshelf out of the way and behind it was a door. She opened it and there was a staircase leading down to what Caroline could only assume was a cellar.
Motioning for Caroline to follow her the girls made their way down the stairs and soon ended up in a dark room, with stone walls. In it laid 3 caskets.
"As I suspected, Elijah's casket is missing." Rebekah spoke as she eyed the others. "It's kind of disturbing that he brings these along with him. Just waiting to put one of you to sleep." Caroline said as she stepped forward and took a closer look at the caskets.
"That was Kol's." Rebekah said and Caroline spun around to look at her. "That one over there was Finns and this one." She said and patted the casket next to her. "This one is mine."
Carolines eyes fell down to the casket Rebekah's hand laid on, she couldn't help but feel sad about the situation.
"I'm sorry about Finn and Kol." Caroline said and Rebekah shook her head. "I don't want to hear it. What's done is done." Rebekah replied with a slightly bitter tone, Caroline nodded as her eyes moved back to Finn and Kol's caskets.
"How about we hold a funeral for them?" She asked moving to the Original blonde. "A funeral? We don't have their bodies." Rebekah replied and Caroline shrugged.
"We can take these caskets and bury them, I know it's not a proper burial but atleast its something. And it would help you get closure." Caroline explained and Rebekah eyed her with suspicion.
"And you expect me to carry those caskets up all by myself?" She asked and Caroline grinned while shaking her head.
"Of course not, that's what Stefan is for." Caroline replied and Rebekah's face broke out into a wicked grin.
"I knew there was a reason I sometimes liked you." She spoke and the two girls made their way upstairs to await the third blonde.

Marcel stepped inside Rosseus, as always the bar was crowded. He could see Cami serving a man, quickly glancing at the clock. He grinned and made his way over to her.
"You're early." She said as he arrived, leaning onto the bar. "I am, I can wait." He replied. Cami nodded as she turned to serve another customer, he watched her smile at the man she was serving and he felt something flutter in his stomach. Could it be butterflies? He thought before he shook his head.
"Alright, I'm ready to go." Cami said as she removed her apron and threw it behind her. Marcel offered her his arm and she took it.
"So where are you taking me?" She asked as they left the bar. "To this quiet little restaurant just outside of the Quarter." Marcel replied as they walked along the street arm in arm.
"So Cami, tell me a little about yourself." Marcel said as he looked down at her. "Well there isn't much to know about me." Cami replied.
"I'm a psych student, I grew up here in New Orleans and I'm currently working at Rosseus to help pay for rent and school." She continued and Marcel nodded.
"What about you?" She asked looking up into Marcel's dark eyes. "I'm a business man. One might even say I run the French Quarter." Marcel replied, grinning wide at her.
"A business man, interesting." Cami said and Marcel raised his eyebrow. "Really?" He asked and Cami let out a laugh as she shook her head.
"No, not really." She said smiling at him. Marcel let out a laugh aswell, this night was going to be perfect. He thought as he stared at Cami.

Stefan pulled up to the huge white mansion. "They don't do things half assed." He mumbled to himself as he got out of the car. Slamming the door shut he heard the front door open, and there stood his best friend.
"Stefan!" She called out in excitement and he smiled at her. "Caroline!" He called back as he made his way over to her. Caroline moved down from the porch and flung herself in Stefans arm.
"Careful there, you're pregnant." He said as he caught her and hugged her tightly. "Oh hush, I missed you. And I miss everyone from home." She said as she pulled away from him.
"We miss you too, especially Bonnie,Elena and your mom." Stefan replied and looked at her.
"Is that Stefan?" Stefan heard a voice very similar to Rebekah's call out. "It is." Caroline called back, and in seconds the familiar blonde was in the doorway.
"Glad you could join us, Ripper. Now if you would come with me, I have a job for you." Stefan opened his mouth to object but Caroline shook her head and motioned for him to follow her.
"I kind of already promised you would help her, us." Caroline said and sent him a sheepish grin. Stefan only looked at her before he sighed in defeat.
"What is it you want me to do?" He asked and Caroline grinned as she grabbed his arm, dragging him after her.
Stefan allowed himself to be dragged through the house and down some stairs that led to a cellar. In it were the caskets Klaus dragged around.
"And what exactly is it you want me to do?" Stefan asked as he turned to look at the two blondes.
"We need you to carry Kol's and Finn's caskets up to the front yard. We're holding a funeral." Rebekah explained, sending him a sugar sweet smile. Turning to look at Caroline he saw she had the same smile on her face.
"And Klaus is ok with this?" He asked as he walked over to Kol's casket. "What Nik doesn't know wont hurt him." Rebekah said simply before she turned on her heel and walked back up.
Stefan looked skeptical at Caroline, she however shrugged and motioned for him to get going.
Sighing Stefan went to work, and a few minutes later he was out at the front, two caskets by his side.
"Is one of the caskets missing?" He asked as he turned to the blondes. "Elijah's. I suspect Nik has him daggered up somewhere." Rebekah said and Stefan nodded.
"So how are we going to do this? Bury them?" He asked and Rebekah shook her head. "We burn them." She said and grabbed one of the dunks containing gasoline. She started on Kol's casket, drenching it. She then moved onto Finn's before she took a step back.
Caroline and Stefan were silent, staring at the Original blonde. Waiting for her to make a move.
"Here lies Finn and Kol. You might not of been the best of brothers, but you were my brothers. Family above all else, always and forever." Rebekah spoke before she lit up a match and threw it on Kol's casket, she repeated her actions on Finn's and took a step back to watch them slowly burn to ashes.
She jerked her head to her left when she felt a hand grace her shoulder. Caroline stood besides her, giving her a sad crooked half smile.
Rebekah returned the smile before she turned back to the burning caskets, oddly she felt at peace just staring into the flames.
Carolines hand dropped from Rebekah's shoulder and she stared into the flames aswell, she knew Klaus would be mad at them. Mostly at Rebekah because she allowed it to happen. But for the moment she didn't really care. Rebekah seemed to be at peace and to her that was all that mattered right now.

Marcel and Cami had, had a beautiful night. "This was wonderful, Marcel." Cami said as they arrived by her building.
Marcel smiled down at her, his bright white teeth showing. "So does this mean you will go on a second date with me?" He asked and Cami looked to be deep in thought.
"Maybe." She said playfully, Marcel could only keep on grinning as he leant down, pressing a kiss to her cheek.
"I shall be back, and I wont leave until I get that second date." He murmured to her, brown clashing against blue. Cami blushed as she took a step back.
"Until then." She said before she turned around and entered the building. Marcel watched her leave before he turned on his heel, dancing down the street. The night had been great, a few more dates and Cami would most certainly be his.
His phone went off and he fished it out of his pocket. "Thierry what can I do for you?" He said cheerily.
"6 of our vampires are dead, just outside the Quarter." Thierry replied and Marcel's grin faded.
"Meet me at the hideout." Marcel said coldly before he hung up and flashed away.
Unknown to Marcel a certain someone had overheard the whole conversation. Klaus stepped out of the shadows a smirk on his face. Things might not be as bad as he first had thought. This created an opening for him, to lure someone into Marcel's inner circle who he could control.
Someone who hadn't yet been introduced to vervein. His smirk grew as he knew exactly how he was going to manipulate Marcel into gaining more vampires. But first, he had a blonde to talk to.
