"Where are you going?" Caroline called out racing after Rebekah and stopping in front of her before she could reach the small village.

"I'm famished and who knows how long we will be stuck in this horrid time. Might as well grab a bite or two." Rebekah grinned mischievously as she pranced past her. She walked directly towards a few men standing beside their horses outside of the village.

Caroline stood where she was, close to the trees ready to run if the situation became too troublesome. She was certain she would stand the best chance of returning back to her time if she remained by Rebekah's side but she most definitely did not trust the original.

She watched as Rebekah easily compelled the four men and began to quickly feed upon the younger one first. He appeared to be no older than seventeen and reminded Caroline of a boy from her school.

Rebekah fed from the poor boy until his body grew weak and his eyes slowly closed as the fog settled through his dying mind.

"You can't kill him!" Caroline yelled grabbing the boy from her arms.

Caroline bit into her wrist and thrust her bloody arm into his dry mouth, relief filling her as he swallowed her warm blood after a short pause of hesitation.

Rebekah rolled her eyes as she grabbed the next man to feed upon ignoring Caroline's irritating move.

"Listen to me, damn it!" Caroline yelled before Rebekah could sink her fangs into the man.

"Why should I? We have to feed, Caroline." Rebekah replied as she grasped the man tightly by the arms. "We need our strength for the journey. You're a complete idiot if you think I will experiment with your little bunny diet!"

"If you kill anyone you could change the future. We can not risk that. Feed all you want but heal them and compel them to move on and forget!" Caroline explained harshly. She honestly had no clue how things would play out in the future or if they were even capable of changing things but it was not a risk she was willing to take.

She looked down at the weak trembling boy that she had laid on the ground beside her. As he looked up at her, his eyes glazed over, she couldn't help but wonder if he was some how related to the shy kid from her school. If he had died at Rebekah's hands today would his descendants never have existed?

Caroline looked away as Rebekah bit into the man's neck with ease. She knew Rebekah would not stop feeding but she had to at least agree not to kill.

Caroline had no desire to give in so easily to her vampire nature. She would hold on to her humanity with every thing she had. This all started because Bonnie had lost herself to her craft it would not happen to her, she thought as she watched Rebekah feed from the quivering old man.

"Fine!" Rebekah snapped unable to enjoy her meal with Caroline's deathly glares killing her appetite. She turned the man roughly in her hands and fed him her pure vampire blood. She compelled him to leave her sight and then proceeded to looked over at the last two men standing silently aside waiting.

Caroline quickly raced over and compelled the men to go home and stay inside with their families. Rebekah let out a deep unladylike growl causing Caroline to grin in return.

"You are starting to piss me off, Caroline!"

"Ya, well get used to it." She smiled, crossing her arms over her chest as she rolled her eyes at the stunned original before adding. "By the way, I will not be feeding from humans. So, if you will excuse me I have a bunny to catch."

Caroline flashed away back into the woods and stood silently behind a large oak tree waiting for her prey. In a matter of minutes the furry white creature made it appearance. Before she was able to snatch it up Rebekah had her hands around the squirming creature's neck.

"This will be your dinner? Really?" she laughed. "You consider this to be appetizing?"

"Give me the damn rabbit." Caroline hissed. She was in no mood for a fight after the day they had already endured.

"On one condition."

Caroline inhaled a deep breath as she cocked her hip to the side crossing her arms over her chest and glaring at the annoying original in front of her. "What would that be?"

"I will shut my mouth about your vulgar eating habits from now on but you have promise me your loyalty, swear you will trust me." Rebekah said her tone carrying an unexpected seriousness Caroline had never heard from her before. It was the first time Caroline truly saw the original's age and wisdom of the world. "You will die if you do not follow my rules and stay by my side."

"And why do you all of a sudden care so much what happens to me? Why did you even bother saving me from Bonnie? I saw you, you had a clear opportunity to escape but you came back for me. Why?" Caroline asked curiously."

"I have my reasons." Rebekah replied smoothly. "Now answer me, do I have your word you will trust me while we are stuck here?"

"If I'm gone you have no one to drag around behind you." Caroline snapped. "Honestly, I'm surprised you have not already ripped my heart out."

"Well, as tempting as it sounds, I have my reasons for keeping you alive and safe. So do we have an understanding or not? I am growing bored already." She asked dangling in front the rabbit of her face.

Caroline nodded her head as she stalked forward and grabbed the rabbit. She wasted no time snapping its tiny neck and thrusting her fangs into its furry back.

She hated feeding from animals but it was better than hurting an innocent and blood banks were most definitely not an option.

"Absolutely revolting!" Rebekah muttered turning and walking away. "I have no idea what Nik could possibly see in you."

Caroline laid the rabbit down on the forest ground gently, mouthing a quick "I'm sorry" before racing quickly to catch up with Rebekah.

"Is that why you are keeping me alive? Because of your brother?" Caroline asked as she finally caught up with her minutes later.

"No, I just have no desire to make this trek alone." Rebekah responded.

"Where are we going? I mean you said it is the 13th century?"

"Indeed, I believe it is but do not forget I was alive during this time." Rebekah said smiling at the few good memories she had from that century. "We are going to find my brothers. They will help sort this mess out and send us back home."

"What?" Caroline replied sharply grabbing Rebekah's shoulder to pull her to an immediate stop. "Are you crazy? How can they help us? What if they think we are lying?"

"First of all, they are my brothers, I refuse to fear them." Rebekah laughed. "Secondly, over the centuries we have held close ties to the most powerful witches in existence. If anyone can help us it is them."

Caroline took a deep breath and swallowed loudly as she began walking again, following behind a smiling Rebekah.

"What was it like? I mean during this time?" Caroline asked as they found a small dirt trail to follow. "I never paid much attention in history class."

"It was nice, not my favorite century but there were worse." Rebekah replied as the memories from this time slowly crept through her mystical mind. "My brothers, Nik especially, were very different than how they are in the future."

"How so?"

"Well, we had only been vampires a little over two centuries during this period. It may seem like a long time to you and for us it was as well but looking back it was nothing but a small drop in the bucket." She explained. "During this time we were all still adjusting to our true nature. Elijah has always been quite… moral and kind but even he has had his fair share of indiscretions. Kol was ruthless, spending every night womanizing leaving few alive only to turn them later to keep as his toys. Then there was Nik, he had only spent two centuries waiting to break his curse but it felt like forever to him. He hated everything and everyone other than his family. I believe had he met you during this time he would have wasted no time killing you. Perhaps he may have taken you to bed first but in the end you would have been of no more importance than the thousands of other women he seduced and killed."

Caroline listened intently. She knew the originals were feared for a good reason but hearing it all first hand and realizing she was on her way to meet them sent shivers down her spine.

"What about you?" Caroline asked wondering what atrocities Rebekah had committed during this time.

"I was-" Rebekah began but quietly took a moment to contemplate her next few words. "The same. Now I believe there is a village not far from here as I can hear the voices of the people. Let us hurry before it is dark."

Caroline could tell she was holding something back as her complete demeanor had changed quickly as well as the subject but Caroline decided to let it go for now.

"We can't stay here." Caroline spoke up as they entered a small hut that Rebekah had compelled the owners to invite them in to. "By the way, why the hell does it reek in this time period?" She added inhaling the foul stenches.

"They had no running water, Caroline. Things were much different here. You grew up tough and able or you quickly found death." Rebekah replied looking around the small room. "Now but we need a change of clothing and considering this man has quite a few young daughters they should have something for us to wear."

Caroline looked down not even noticing how bizarre they must have looked to the handful of villagers that had seen them. Rebekah searched the rooms and quickly found a few plain gowns. Nothing fancy, just simple peasant dresses but they would have to do for now. Rebekah threw the grey one over to Caroline and kept the less stained cream one for herself.

As Caroline pulled off her shirt she was reminded of the glass that had been stuck in her back and abdomen. It was now completely healed over and the only chance of removing it would be to cut it out.

"Crap!" Caroline hissed as she dug at a piece in her stomach.

"Sit down." Rebekah said walking over to her with a large hunting knife she had found on the make shift bed.

"What the hell?" Caroline shrieked.

"Relax, I'm not going to kill you. I only need my hand to do that." Rebekah grinned her eyes not hiding the delight she would find in killing her so easily. "We need to get the glass out. Try not to scream… to loud."

Caroline bit her bottom lip as Rebekah sat behind her on the large haystacks that created a bed and began slicing into her skin. She quickly popped the jagged shards out one by one as her skin healed quickly. Caroline bit down harder on her lip causing blood to pour out as Rebekah cut a deep long gash down the side of her back. She could feel her pulling out multiple pieces this time and winced as she held back her painful screams.

"Done." Rebekah told her as she ripped off a large piece of bedding and wiped away some of the blood. "I'm not your servant so that's all I am doing. When we reach my home you can bathe properly and clean off the dried blood."

"How far do we still have to go?" Caroline muttered sliding the dress over her head. She smiled looking and down at the simple unadorned gown relieved that it seemed to fit perfectly over her body. "Do you even know where your brother's will be at this exact time?"

"I got the date from the man that lives here. It is 1246. My brothers and I were living in a home in England hidden in the country side not far from London. The home is close enough for them to visit the local village nightly but secluded enough to offer us privacy. We stayed there over a decade before moving on. I believe we are just outside of Scotland right now."

"Scotland? Why would Bonnie send us here and to this time it makes no sense?"

"I haven't the faintest idea, I believe even though she has become quite powerful there is a great chance that she has no control over where she exactly sent us. Leading us here either by the magic's domination or from her lack of care as to where we ended up. It really does not matter as either way we are still stuck here in this wretched time."

"Great, so how much longer do we have until we reach your home exactly?" Caroline asked imagining a large estate that would put the small huts she had so far seen to shame.

"We have about a week or so journey ahead of us on horse."

"Horse?" Caroline asked nervously.

"Yes, horse. I am afraid that is our only option unless you plan on running the entire way." Rebekah told her as she walked out of the small hut.

Caroline shook her head as she looked around for any human food to bring along. She noticed a small basket of what appeared to be some type of seeds as well as a bunch of others items that looked as if they were all spices and grains.

She let out a somber sigh as she walked to the entrance and left the hut.

"Oh, what I would give for a basket of fries right now." She mumbled softly to herself but smiled as Rebekah laughed.

"So, I was wondering." Caroline asked as Rebekah and her approached two large horses tied up behind the hut. "What about a nice carriage ride? That sounds much more comfortable to me." Caroline smiled sweetly. The idea of riding a horse, as much as she loved them terrified her.

"I am afraid that is not possible." Rebekah replied irritated they were still standing here speaking about on subject instead of on the horses already.

She glanced over and saw the look of terror in Caroline's eyes and let out a small sigh. "Caroline, there are no roads during this time only the occasional trails. Carriages were not around for another few centuries. There are small wagons but they would never make the long journey." She explained.

She reached her hand over to Caroline's shoulder causing the younger vampire to stiffen from the unexpected kindness. "I promise, you will be fine. You're a vampire, you can not be killed simply by falling off of a horse. After a few minutes riding it will come naturally, I promise."

Caroline watched as Rebekah mounted the horse with ease, hiking her dress up slightly. Caroline imitated her movements but found herself wrapped in her gown and falling off the other side. She hit the ground with a loud painful thud and quickly glared up at the laughing original.

"You could have helped me!" Caroline yelled.

"I could have but I showed you enough kindness for the day. I only have so much to give." Rebekah laughed riding slowly away.

Caroline let out a loud huff as she stood up fixing her now muddied dress. She pulled the gown up to her thighs with one hand and quickly mounted the horse. She grabbed the reins after she finally situated herself and followed after Rebekah.

She started off slow and cautious as the horse seemed hesitant as well.

"I know buddy I don't like this anymore than you do but we got to catch up with the little bitch." Caroline said rubbing the horses back soothingly.

Finally after another short moment passed the horse began to quicken his pace bringing her right behind Rebekah.

The original smiled back at her as she saw the look of terror had left Caroline's face and was now consumed with nothing but freedom.

Klaus was silently pacing the room the only sounds to be heard were his occasional growls as he awaited the arrival of his most trusted witch. It had been over a day since his sister and Caroline had disappeared at the Grill and he found it harder with each passing minute to continue to sit idly by.

In all of his existence he had never felt such rage. Even after Katarina had escaped him, had he not felt this much fury. He did not think it was possible to feel worse than he had at that time but he had surprisingly proved himself wrong today.

The thought of never seeing his young irrational sister again weighed heavily on his mind but Rebekah was an original, she could not easily be killed. Caroline however, the thought of her trapped in world that could easily destroy her, that brought out another side of him.

A side he had been keeping buried away the past year as he had sat by patiently waiting for the prefect opportunity to persuade her once again to give him a chance. He was nothing if not persistent but after Tyler left her heartbroken a few months after Elena was turned he chose to step back and give her space. It was a move that shocked his family as he was never considerate with someone's feeling not even when it involved a girl he fancied.

Over the centuries there had been a few young women that caught his eye. Things always played out the same, they would put up a bit of resistance for a short while before eventually being seduced easily into his bed. Some of the girls he would enjoy for a few weeks at the most while the others only a few days till he grew bored. In the end though, they all met the same fate, death at his hands.

The thrill of the chase was exhilarating to him and with Caroline things seemed to start the same way as the others. He was intrigued by her strength, her power to control her humanity. He was struck by her breathtaking beauty and grace but above all her ability to speak so freely towards him. He could kill her so easily yet she never backed down. It was refreshing and he found that after each interaction he shared with her he was left craving more. She was different than the others she was truly a genuine beauty.

He watched as his foolish hybrid went behind her back with a frivolous girl from his past. She was nothing in comparison to the exquisiteness the boy was lucky to behold in Caroline but Tyler was nothing but a dumb boy.

Caroline had been to preoccupied helping Elena adjust to her new life she that was unaware as to what was happening behind her back. Klaus sat back and let things play out naturally even though he felt a pang of guilt for not showing her the truth. It was not his place and he refused get involved in such trivial affairs. Caroline would learn the truth eventually he had told himself as he watched her return nightly to her unfaithful lover.

Tyler finally left town over six months ago with the girl leaving Caroline completely blindsided and angry. She went out during the day with her head held high, her demeanor strong and unscathed but he could see right through her. At night she would drink herself into oblivion after her friends left her side. He still remained hidden in the back watching, wanted nothing more than to go to her, compel her to forget her pain but he could never do such a thing to her.

It was then that he realized what was happening. The once small fascination with the young blonde had grown into a respect, a feeling of deep desire. He would never be capable of love nor would he ever allow it but he truly did care for her.

This was the reason why he and his siblings remained in Mystic Falls. It was their home and they were once again a family but he was also unable to leave without her by his side.

She was strong and capable but also irrational and fragile. He would be there for her whether she wanted him or not. Waiting until she was ready to accept the inevitable. She would be his one day and if there was one thing he had on his side it was time. Not to mention centuries of waiting to break a curse had given him a great strength for patience.

He continued pacing the room as he heard Kol enter and take a seat across from him. He glared towards him causing his brother to simply smirk in reply. He closed his eyes, shaking his head as he clenched his fist tightly as he resumed his thoughts of her.

Even the smallest idea of never again viewing her brilliant smile, perfect swaying hips and glowing features sent him over the edge. He would find her and bring her home if it was the last thing he did. Anyone that dared to get in his way would meet the most painful death imaginable. He would take great pleasure in torturing them for days until they finally begged at his feet for their death.

He would destroy every witch he could hunt down that would not help him. Blood will pour over their families if the refuse him. His curse had been broken, Elena was no longer able to supply blood for his hybrids and Mikael had been killed. He would now spend every second of every day searching for a way to bring back the only two women he has ever cared for.

He slammed his fist through the plaster wall as his rage boiled over. The strong burning desire to torture and destroy every living thing around him poured through his veins as a deep as a snarl escaped through his gritted teeth.

He wanted nothing more than to hunt down the young Bennett witch and hang her up in by her legs, carve her skin from her flesh until she could no longer handle the pain. He would make her beg for him to end her life only to heel her with his blood and start a new day with her cowering at his feet.

He had however given his word to Elijah that he would stay away from her as she was the one that cast the spell they may need her alive. Elijah also warned it was best they do not let anyone know they were looking into a way to fix things in case Bonnie decided to make another move against the girls somehow.

"She is here, Niklaus." Elijah said entering the room.

All of the brothers were on edge, desperate to retrieve their baby sister but Klaus's eyes held a look of pure menacing wickedness as he watched the witch enter.

She was over two hundred years old, white haired and wrinkled but still able to walk around freely. She was the most powerful witch the originals had ever dealt with.

She had a sight that could see through barriers, through the past. She was always the first to see the truth of a situation. Her age gave her a great wisdom over the others. She used spells to keep her age away but she knew time was slowly catching up with her.

Kol and Elijah sat across from each other in the sitting room as Klaus continued to pace. His breathe loud as he stalked back and forth waiting for the witch to finally speak.

"How can I be of service?" she asked. Her eyes cold and wise showing that she already knew what this was about.

"Our sister, it seems a spell banished her. We need to find her immediately and bring her back to us." Elijah replied firmly.

"A Bennett witch." She stated not asking as she could already sense what had happened.

"Yes." Elijah replied. "Do you see where she sent our sister?"

"Yes, the spell was quite old and very tricky. I am uncertain how the young witch managed it on her own." She said looking out, past the brothers into nothing.

"We have been informed that she has tapped into a darker magic." Elijah explained.

"I see, she did this to save her loved ones. To save Niklaus."

"Yes, we all know this already. Stop testing my patience and tell us what we need to know!" Klaus growled shrewdly. "Where did she send my sister?"

The witch looked over at him, her eyes white as snow. "You mean to ask where Caroline is. She is in your every thought. Try as you might you can not hide that from me."

She turned her attention back to Elijah and began explaining. "1246, that is where the girls have landed. I am not sure that is where they will remain as the spell that was used is quite fragile."

"1246? As in the year?" Kol asked stunned by this revelation.

"Correct." She answered.

"Lucky Bekah, oh how I would love to relive the glory days!" Kol grinned lying back against the chair his arms folded behind his head as he reminisced about the fun carefree times he used to have.

"How can we bring them back?" Elijah asked shaking his head at his younger brother's previous statement.

Klaus stopped in his tracks as his soles had begun to wear into the fine wool carpet. He focused his attention back to the witch waiting for her answer.

"I am afraid it is not possible." She told them

"You lie!" Klaus spat flashing over to the woman and clasping his hand tightly around her neck pulling her up violently from the chair.

"Niklaus calm down." Elijah said standing next to his seething brother. "We will find a way."

"She knows of a way, I am sure of it!" Klaus argued, tightening his grip on her neck.

"There is only one option but it is not safe." She choked out.

He released his grip and Elijah caught her before she fell to the ground.

"What is it?" Elijah asked impatiently. He could see his brother was about to snap any moment and needed her to hurry things up.

Klaus resumed his place across the room pacing anxiously.

"The only way for them to return is to send someone to bring them back." She said rubbing her throat.

"But what-" Elijah began.

"I'll go!" Klaus spoke up stopping abruptly to face them.

"First we need to know the risks involved." Elijah told him.

"It does not matter. Tell me what I need to do and send me back already." Klaus replied without hesitation.

"You will need something from both of the girls. Something they have worn."

"I think I have a pair of Caroline's panties up in my room." Kol joked with a small chuckle making..

Klaus faced him with a deadly glare for making light of the situation before turning back to witch.

"Preferably a piece of jewelry they have worn. I will take the items as well as something of yours and place a spell upon them, binding them together. When you all are wearing them it will give you all the power to break through the time barriers. It should send you back to this date."

Klaus raced for the room needing no further instructions. He quickly ran into Rebekah's bedroom and opened her jewelry box on top of her dresser. He easily found a necklace that she had worn multiple times over the last few weeks. She had said it reminded her of a necklace she owned centuries ago. He placed it around his neck and flashed towards the front door to head to Caroline's house.

He stopped abruptly as he realized that was not necessary. He flashed back up the stairs to his bedroom and pulled open his night table. Inside was a black velvet box that held the bracelet he had given Caroline a year ago for her birthday.

He remembered the night perfectly, the words from her lips rooted in his brain. It was the first time he saw the beauty she truly possessed. He knew that night he wanted her although at the time he assumed she would be an easy conquest and an even easier kill.

Elijah and Kol watched as their brother flashed around the house at vampire speed collecting the items needed for his trip like a mad man.

"What are the risks?" Elijah asked as Klaus flew up the stairs once again.

"There is a small chance they will not be sent back to this exact time. They are so far away from our point in time it may take a few trips before they reach this exact date." She explained.

"So, you are saying we may be transported through out time without our control?" Klaus asked reentering the room with the objects as well as a few small weapons.

"Yes, you will be bound together through the items, so you will travel to the same point in time but there is a possibility it may not keep you all together. Be careful as for the journey you are about to embark on is not to be taken lightly."

Klaus nodded and handed her Rebekah's necklace, Caroline's bracelet and an old necklace of his that he removed from his neck. She began chanting as she closed her eyes slowly. The men watched closely as the items were lifted from the table and entwined together tightly. There was a sudden spark that shot from the jewelry as they dropped back to the table.

"They are now forever linked together. No matter what happens you will all remain in the same time and day. Perhaps not the same location but you should never be too far away from each other; mere miles may only be what separates you. Make sure they keep these on at all times as you will never know when you will be transported through."

Klaus placed his necklace firmly around his neck and sealed the girls' jewelry in a pouch he tucked deeply in his pocket.

"Are you sure about this brother?" Elijah asked placing his hand heavily on Klaus's shoulder. "We can search for another way."

"No, I can't sit here and wait. I need to get them back."

Elijah looked at his brother and sighed. "You truly do care for Ms. Forbes. I do not believe I have seen you so eager to walk into an uncertain situation so easily."

"Our sister is out there." Klaus reminded him.

"Yes and as much as you care for her you would find no issue with allowing Kol to go fetch her." Elijah replied evenly.

"Oh, now that sounds like a plan. The fun I could have." Kol spoke up leaping from his chair.

Klaus gave him a look as he scowled. "I am going, alone."

"Oh come on Nik, let me a have some fun as well."

"The answer is no, Kol. You need to stay here and keep an eye on things with Elijah." Klaus told him as he stood in front of the witch. "Let's get on with it already."

"Are you sure you are prepared?" she asked.

"I have already made that clear! You are testing my patience, witch!" Klaus hissed.

The old woman smiled as she closed her eyes and spoke the same old words that Bonnie had the previous day. She drew power from her inner self as well as the jewelry Klaus had in his possession to ensure he arrived to the moment in time the girls were trapped in."

Klaus closed his eyes as the room around him began to spin; he knew it was all a hallucination from being pulled through the time paradox. He waited for it all to come to s swift end as he finally felt his body jolt to life once again.

He quickly leapt to his feet, crouching down in a fighting stance as he assessed his new location.

He inhaled the bitter scent of death and sickness that he had not experienced in centuries as he straighten himself up and walked towards the sounds of people talking.

I know there was no Klaroline interaction. I was bummed as well I got to be honest. I don't feel truly complete unless I have some yummy Klaroline interaction in each chapter.

But as you could see it was not really possible. So next chapter we will see lots of Klaus and Caroline together but the question is which Klaus?

I love to read your reviews and they are the reason chapter two is going up so quickly so please be kind and let me know what you all think.

Thanks again for reading!
