They were led to an immaculate palace. Rivers could be seen on both sides, cutting through mountains, and the giant peaks glistened with snow in the daylight. There were creatures that flew over head that you would never have suspected, even in a fantasy book. They were of magnificent in size, Alex looked up and saw a Griffin.

"Daddy look, a Griffin!" He pointed to the sky, Klaus marveled at the beautiful creature.

"That's Valgrendore. He is protector of our kingdom, he is tame and graceful, but would defend any of us with his life." Adrianna said, she then began to talk with Alex. She answered all his questions with a smile on her face that was completely genuine.

"Do you need anything Caroline," she asked.

"No thanks, just-" she got hit with a wave of nausea. She puked all over the road they were in. She groaned as another wave of nausea hit. Klaus held her hair back like a gentlemen and Buffy rubbed soothing circles on her back.

"She just found out," Buffy guessed.

"It's quite all right. Morning sickness in believes lasts far longer." Adrianna informed,

"Caroline, why are you sick?"

"It's what happens when you have a baby in you." She explained, standing up strait. "Your mommy had it when you were inside her." She said, Alex turned to Buffy.

"Is that true?" He asked, Buffy had to play the role of her future self.

"Yup, I had it really bad." She said, Klaus smiled. Even though this wasn't the Buffy he knew, she still had all of the qualities.

"Caroline, love, do you need anything?" He asked,

"Water," she said, a guard handed her a glass bottle.

"It is water that comes from a spring on, Mithrain Mountain. It is the purest in all the land." He told her, she opened it and drank. She expected to be warm, but that wasn't even close. It was the most clean tasting, cold water she had ever drank.

"Wow," she breathed, she could've sworn she saw her breath,

"Is there anything else you need m'lady?" He asked her,

"No, thank you." She said,

"I'm hungry!" Alex exclaimed,

"You just ate, not even two hours ago." Klaus said to his son,

"I didn't get to finish," he huffed at his father. Klaus laughed, and Caroline smiled when she saw his dimples. Buffy just kept moving forward. Her eyes kept darting to the sky, seeing a very large shadow every now and then. She thought she was going crazy until everyone gasped, and loud roar was heard.

"Dragon!" Adrianna yelled, Buffy grabbed her sword and raced off,

"Get them to safety!" Klaus yelled at the guards, and he looked at Caroline and Alex. "I'm going to go help mummy. Stay with Caroline." He used his speed and rushed off,. He found Buffy in a field facing down the beast.

"Come on scaley, is that all you got?" She said, there were dead spots on the ground, and it was in godly cold. The Dragon whipped it's tail and it connected with Klaus' stomach. There was a squelch noise and Klaus groaned, having to hold his intestines in while his body healed. Buffy used then of the curved sword and bashed the Dragons eye. It roared in pain, and it flapped its wings. A guest of wind hit Buffy and she soared backwards and landed on the ground with a thud. "Fuck!" She screamed went she felt something stab through her arm. It was the sword, she ripped it out and charged.

She dodged and ducked, trying to keep out of range and its claws. Never in a million years did she expect to be fighting a Dragon. There was loud gust of wind and the she saw blue hue building up under its throat, she dropped to the ground just as ice was forced out of its lungs. As it was closing its mouth Buffy hurled herself forward and struck out with the long blade. It went through the roof of its mouth and out the top of its skull. It bellowed in pain, after that its body crumpled to the ground. Buffy walked over and ripped the sword out of its mouth, and the she ripped a knife sized. Silvery blue scale from it body.

"Klaus, you okay." He was looking at herin awe,

"You just killed a Dragon." He said, "the hardest thing to kill in all literature and you've done so."

"Mommy!" Alex appeared. Klaus looked not so surprised by how sons speed.

"Alex, what did I tell you?" He said,

"To wait with Caroline."

"You didn't do that,"

"I heard mommy scream and I got scared," he cried, Klaus' anger melted away and he went over to his son. He hugged him tightly,

"I'm sorry I got angry with you," he said, casting a look at Buffy.

"I was worried about your mother too. She's my best friend."

"Why aren't you with mommy?" Alex asked,

"Because your mother and I, we weren't compatible. We didn't work," he tried to explain.

"But you should be with mommy, not Caroline! Because then mommy us gonna want to go back to England and I'm never going to see you again. It's not fair." He cried, Klaus looked at Buffy. He was lost, and he didn't know how to console his son.

"Baby hey look at me." Alex didn't so she used her stern voice that she used with Dawn. "Niklaus," she called him by his first name. Klaus and Alex both looked at her, she motioned to Alex and Klaus just smiled. "Me and daddy aren't together anymore because it wasn't working. We were happier as friends okay? But I'm gonna make sure, that next school year we are going to move to America, and live near daddy, okay?" She said, his tears stopped,

"Okay mommy," he then noticed the Dragon.

"Willow fix it please, I don't know what to do!" Buffy cried,

"Buffy, I don't know what to do! I have never felt magic that powerful."

"Please get my son back, please..." Buffy said tears streaming down her cheeks. Willow stepped forward and hugged her best friend.

"We will find a way to do this. I need you to find the Sheriff and tell her what happened. And if any other Originals show up, make sure you tell them what happened. To Klaus," Willow was about to leave when a blond girl threw her back into the room.

"Please don't fight." Buffy sobbed, "come on please come back." Buffy cried,

"What the bloody hell is happening."

"Look in my head," Buffy said weakly. Rebekah did so, she gasped.

"Your child, Klaus' child got sucked into that portal. Along with your past self, Caroline, Nik." She grabbed her cellphone out of her pocket,

"Elijah I need you to come back to Mystic Falls. Nik just got sucked through a portal, with his son Caroline and another person." She pasued, "yes his son, hurry!" "You red head, please get her some water." Willow nodded and walked to the kitchen.

"Buffy we are going to get them back. I promise you." She hugged the Slayer tightly. Buffy began to wail, like someone had just murdered her family.

"Alex please come back." She sobbed.

Willow and Tara walked into the magic, to find Anya and Xander looking at some books.

"Hi," Tara said, Willow wiped at the tear stains. Xander noticed this and went over an embraced her.

"Wills, we are going to get Buffy back." Xander assured her, "I just wish Giles hadn't left."

"Maybe we can bribe someone to help us." Anya suggested, every one looked at the blond and she went back to reading.

"I can't believe it, Buffy has been gone for a month." Willow said, "I can't believe that she left spike in charge of Dawn." Willow shuttered,

Buffy walked back to Adrianna, Klaus and Alex with her. She handed her sword back and the scale.

"It's dead," she said.

"Lectorim androm moracine. Veluct, Adreas, Luctora." A guard said,

"The Dragon does. King, Queen, Child." Buffy shrugged, "mortim Anderson nelevin." The guards nodded and walked off in the direction of the Dragon. "It is customary in our culture to make a weapon forged by Dragon scale for the Dragon slayer." She explained,

"Why thank you," Buffy said with a smile. She looked over at Alex, his eyes had changed and his fangs had dropped.

"Mommy your hurt," he pointed at a large gash that was running the length of her chest.

"Oh..." Buffy fell to the ground,

"Mommy!" Alex screamed rushing towards Buffy. He bit into his wrist and put it to her mouth, "mommy wake up! Please wake up!" He sobbed, Klaus pulled his son away from her and hugged him tightly.

"Did something hit her?" Adrianna asked, Klaus nodded,

"While I was down I saw the tail whip her."

"The tail of Dragon has poison. She needs to be taken to be healed." She said, she hauled Buffy and swung her over her shoulder.

"Mommy!" Alex screamed and tried to stop them, but she snapped her fingers and she was gone. The guards brought them into the palace. They led them to a grand bed chamber and closed the doors. Caroline went over to Alex and hugged him, Alex just cried. Klaus looked at his son,

"Your mum is going to be okay," he told him, Alex on the other hand was inconsolable. Caroline held onto the six year old. She whispered soothing words into his ear, and rubbed her back in small circles. "Alex, calm down. Take a deep breath." Klaus said, Alex focused on his breathing. He then did something very unexpected. Klaus found himself on the other side of the room with Caroline, Alex stood in the middle of the room encircled by blue fire.

"Alex, hey can you calm down?" Caroline said, his eyes were amber, and the whites of his eyes were red.

"No," he said, his voice disembodied. "That Dragon hurt mommy and then they took her away." He said angrily.

"Alex," Klaus warned. Alex's werewolf side was showing, along with his witch side. "Alex st-" Klaus screamed when he felt a bone break. "Niklaus Alexander Mikaelson, listen to me right now!" Klaus bellowed. The flames died down, "please stop!" Klaus begged, Alex had tears streaming down his cheeks.

"Daddy..." Alex said alarmed. He looked at the scorch marks on the floor. Klaus walked over to his son,

"It's okay, I've got you." Klaus said, Alex walked forward and fell into his father's arms. Klaus kissed the top of his head, "I love you," he told his son.

"I love you too daddy," he sobbed. Klaus had never loved many people in his life. His son was definitely one of them, he had only known for a day, but knowing that he had a child, and another on the way changed him in a way he couldn't fathom. He loved his son more than words could describe. He loved his unborn child the same. Klaus let tears fall, and he cried with his son. Caroline walked over and put her arms around both of them.

In a separate part of the palace a scream of pain erupted from a room.

"Help me!" Buffy screamed, the woman taking care of her looked at her with sympathy,

"It will be okay. We have to get the poison out." She said, the wound looked worse. It had started to fester, they told her that her body temperature was highly elevated. Buffy screamed in pain and clutched the sides of her head, and the world went black.

Buffy turned and looked at Dawn, a tear streaming down her face.

"Dawn, listen to me, listen. I love you. I will always love you. But this is the work that I have to do. Tell Giles…tell Giles I figured it out. And, and I'm okay. And give my love to my friends. You have to take care of them now. You have to take care of each have to be strong. Dawn, the hardest thing in this world — is to live in it. Be brave. Live…for me." Buffy turned and did a running jump of Glory's tower.

"Dawn!" Buffy screamed, one of the guards tried to restrain her but he was knocked unconscious quickly. Another guard stepped in her way, But Buffy smashed her first into the guards nose. She bolted. She ran as fast as she could, and ended up running through a pair of large doors. She saw Klaus, Caroline, and Alex. She rushed over to Alex grabbed him and ran. She found a flight of stairs and went up them. She ended up on the roof of the palace.

"Mommy?" Alex asked, Buffy just looked at the horizon. She stepped closer to the edge of the roof. "Mommy stop, your gonna fall." He cried, Klaus was suddenly with them.

"Buffy," she didn't say anything. Alex rushed over to her,

"You're going to fall mommy!" Alex screamed, he tugged her with all his strength and she moved but he slipped and fell. Buffy snapped back to reality, she jumped over the side and caught him mid air. As they fell she pulled him on top of her. They hit the ground hard, Buffy felt a crack in her spine and she spit up blood. Alex was unsaved, but he was crying in terror. Klaus landed next to them. There were people surrounding them. He pulled Alex off of her, and then bit into his wrist and brought it to her mouth and forced her to drink.

"Stop!" Adrianna cried, "she needs eleven magic to heel her!"

"I am not going to sit idly by and watch the mother of my son die!" Buffy rose of the ground but fell,

"The wound needs to be treated because the poison of a Dragon will kill her." She pulled herbs out of her pocket and placed them on the wound. They began to steam, and then Buffy gasped and fell to the ground unconscious. "Take her to the bed chambers, she will be asleep for a few hours. When she wakes just call for me and I will come." She walked off. Alex was sobbing uncontrollably as he looked at his mother.

"Is-is she okay?" He managed to ask,

"She is going to be, now why don't you go find Caroline. Ill be up in a minute okay?" Alex nodded and walked off, wiping at his eyes. Klaus reached down and picked Buffy up, he then used his speed and rushed to the room. He saw Alex already there lying on the bed, face buried in a pillow crying. The silk bed sheets were wrinkled. He placed Buffy down and went to find Caroline. She was out on a balcony over looking everything. She turned and saw Klaus,

"Hi," she said,

"Hi," he walked up behind her and wrapped his arms around her, kissing her neck. They looked at the setting sun, "do you think we are having a boy or girl?" He asked moving his hand to her stomach. She smiled,

"I don't know, I want a perfect little girl. One that gets spoiled, and has unconditional love." She said, Klaus kiss her hair and then turned her to look at him. He cupped her face stroking it with his thumb.

"I love you Caroline." And then he put his hand back on her abdomen, "and I love you little wolf." He said, he brought his lips to hers. Her eyes closed, a feeling of safety washing over her. She focused on the feeling of his soft lips on hers, the way their bodies seemed molded for each other. How his stubble tickled her lightly, how the kiss was filled with love and passion. Her hands went around his neck as he deepened the kiss, his tongue invading her mouth. How it danced in such a familiar rhythm, even though they had only kissed a handful of times. She pulled back and looked into his ice blue eyes, and she smiled. She loved this man with all her life.

"I love you, Klaus." She told him, he smiled and kissed her again.

Willow sat in the living room of the Mikaelson Mansion. Buffy had finally agreed to go to bed after hours and hours of convincing.

"And you are who?" A man asked behind her, she turned around,

"I'm Willow," she then took out a book, it was ancient. "I'm assuming you're Elijah. Which is a good thing, I've been looking at this book it's about mystical portals. You've been alive for a thousand years, if you can help figure out what language it's written in, then we will be one step closer to get to g your brother and nephew back." She said,

"Now you see, I am not sure how I have a nephew. A vampire can not procreate." Willow sighed and explained the story. "My brother didn't break his curse until a few years ago." Elijah informed,

"He was born into a prophecy, there were higher powers at play when he was conceived." Willow said, she then showed him a picture of Alex. He was struck by the similarities the child had to Klaus. Willow just handed him the book, "we really need your help." She said, and then sat back down. She began chanting, as she did so her shortened white. Elijah felt the power radiating off her in waves. She had power that surpassed Esther, she might even be the most powerful witch in the world.

"Interesting," Elijah said as he looked over the writing. "Where did you come by this?" He asked Willow, she thought for a moment,

"Florence," she said.

"This seems to be in old Norse. A language I happened to have grown up speaking. This is older than my time though. Five hundred years give or take before I was born."

"Did the Vikings know a lot about this?" She asked curiously,

"Who ever wrote this book did. Vikings believed in the folklore, how Fenrier the wolf killed Odin. How Thor was strongest of the gods." He said, "but the only portal to another land was believed to be a gateway to the afterlife." He said, "though me and my siblings were raised to believe that we would be with the spirits when we died."

"Your mother was a witch wasn't she."

"Yes, her name was Esther." He said, Willow's eyes grew wide,

"Your mother was Ayana's pupil? Then that means... Your mother was the one that turned you into vampires."

"Yes she was. I'm surprised you know who Ayana was."

"She's revered in the witch community. Her magic was so pure, she also has lineage alive today, the Benette's." She said, she felt like a kid in a candy store. "Sorry I just brought us way off topic, I need to translate the passages into English." She said, "this is going to be a long night.

Willow Sat in the middle of a circle drawn in blood. Three candles were set in front of her, along with a spell book.

"Aperite portas, qui cepit eam . Reducet eam ad nos! Tester domini rerum temporumque illi remittam; Mitte electus worrier populi illuc!" She then spoke in English, "Open the portal that took her away. Bring her back to us! I call on the lords of time to send her back! Send the chosen one, the worrier of the people back!" Finally after hours of chanting, a portal opened. "Guys, I got it!" Tara, Anya, and Xander came rushing in.

"Baby..." Tara said, Willow's hand went to her nose. There was a large amount of blood. She shrugged it off and went to stand up, but fell. Tara went to catch and they both went through the portal. It closed, and Xander dropped to his knees.

"Oh god," Xander said.

"Do you wanna play shiver me timbers?" She asked,

"No Anya, we just need to go home." They left the training room of the Magic Box.

Buffy awoke to the sound of a loud popping noise. She shot up in bed to see a light flickering and then the sound of a thud.

"You okay baby?" A very familiar voice said,

"Yeah I'm fine," another familiar voice said.

"Willow!" Buffy screamed, Willow's head shot up. Then the door opened and walked in Willow.

"Oh god, Tara remember how I told you I had an evil vampire doppelganger from another reality? Well, uh, that's her." Willow squeaked,

"Oh god," Buffy said, older Willow had a look on her face when she Tara. Buffy had to interject. "Okay, no I am not the Buffy you are looking for. She got sucked into a portal with a friend of mine and my son..." Buffy teared up, she looked at Tara. "We're gonna need your help." She said, "now go meet Elijah, he's down stairs." They both nodded and left.

"Buff," Willow cried, Buffy went and hugged her friend. "She black, she's really here."

"Wills, you can't do anything. She is in the past." Buffy said,

"I know but the minute I saw her, I felt a piece of my soul fix. The one that broke when she died."

"Willow they are here for my past self. We have to help them, because they will get Alex back, Klaus and Caroline back."

Buffy woke up, she felt a slight burning sensation across her chest. She also felt a body next to her, looking down she saw Alex. She smiled and snuggled closer to him. She wasn't his mother yet, but she would be. To such an amazing child, the thought that she carried him made her smile. Klaus and Caroline walked back into the room, and she put a finger to her mouth. They both nodded; she got up slowly and quietly, not wanting to disturb the child. She walked to another part of the large bedroom.

"I can't believe I have such a wonderful child in the future." Buffy said,

"Icant believe you were able to give me a son." Klaus said,

"Buffy I've known him for a day, and I already love Alex. He's so sweet, and brought out a motherly nature I didn't know I had."

"Well it was shocking to find out I had a son." There was a sob that sounded behind them.

"You don't remember me?" Alex asked, "mommy what do you mean?"

"Sweetie," Buffy started.

"No! How can you not believe you had me?"

"Because... Because I haven't had you yet... I'm from the past." Alex began to cry and he ran to Klaus who picked him up and let him cry.

"I'm so sorry Alex."

"Shut up!" He screamed and Buffy's mouth closed. She tried to talk but couldn't. Klaus looked at his son.

"Alex," Klaus scolded. "You do not use magic on your mother." He said and then he noticed his eyes. They had turned amber, and veins appeared under his eyes. "Alex, breath, just take deep breaths." Alex did so, and his changed back and his anger went away.

"You can talk again mommy." Buffy looked at him,

"I still love you little man." She said,

"I know," Klaus put him down and he walked over to Buffy and put his arms around. "I love you mommy," he said almost detached. Buffy cast a glance at Klaus. The knew that something had happened the minute he took that deep breath. He walked out of the room, and Buffy fell onto the bed in the room.

"Klaus..." She said, he just looked into the direction of his son,

"I think... I think that he turned it off." He said,

"Turned what off Klaus?" Buffy asked,

"His humanity." Buffy looked like she got punched in the stomach, she began to cry.
