CHAPTER 2

Nathan enters the old house and keeps the body of Katherine in the bed. He cleans her room and touches her face with a happy smile and said "Everything will be fine Katrina; we will reunite with our family."

Light enters the room and saw the scene with a happy tear in her eye. She sat on the opposite end of the bed and holds the other hand of Katherine.

After a long pause both the kids look at each other and places Katherine's in the floor. Nathan takes the salt to make the circle around light and Katherine's body. Light took a knife and cuts her palm. The blood is filled in the bowl with the herbs. Nathan takes the bowl and places it on the head of the Katherine and nods to Light.

Light starts the spell. After a long 10 minutes, her nose begins to bleeds. Nathan is scared about his sister, but dint move a muscle. He is afraid of breaking her concentration and the spell. After another 10 minutes Light faints and before she could hit the floor, Nathan catches her and places her in the bed. Both the kids went to sleep after a long day.

In the morning Light opens her eyes saw Nathan and Katherine's body in the couch. She checks for any wounds in Katherine's body and satisfied when she found none.

"Wakeup sleepyhead, we have a very long day" Light wakes up Nathan with a smile.

Nathan opens his eyes and smiles "Good morning sis".

"Come Nat we need to wake up our family." With that Nathan sat up straight in bed.

"Is she alright? Any changes?" Nathan asked with a worried look. Light smiles "Ya, the wounds are cured. We need to make the last recruiting process." Nathan smiles like a 5 year kid who got his Christmas present.

Both went to the couch and placed the body again in the circle. Light starts the spell of recruiting while Nathan injects the special potion in Katherine's body. After struggling for 10 minutes, Light completes the spell.

Katherine opens her eyes and takes a long gasp. She looks at both the new faces and blinks.

"Hi Katherine." Nathan said.

"Who are you guys? How am I alive?"

"We are your friends Katrina. We came to help our family and you play a vital role in the mission."

Katherine looks both of them in a suspicious way and asked "What's your name?"

"I'm Nathan and this is my sister Hope, We are your friends."

"Ok. How am I alive?"

"My sister recruited you with the help of a powerful potion, now we need your help."Katherine is completely shocked.

"What do you want me to do?" Katherine asked with confusion.

"We are gone reunite our family. We need your knowledge and a little help with you're…. Blood" Light said

"If you think, I'll be your personal blood bad or some kind of leverage against someone, then your both is completely idiots. I will not be leverage or a personal blood bag" Katherine hissed.

"No no no, don't mistake us Katherine. We don't want you to be our personal blood bad or leverage. Please trust us. Why would we make you any harm, after all we are the one who recruited you?" Nathan said calm voice.

"Good to know that you are my friends. But how can I know that I can trust you. Many were after the doppelganger's blood and my head."Katherine said with doubtful stare. "What do you really expect me to do? I'm just a stupid human now. My doppelganger bitch made me human. I'm of no useful to you." She growls.

Both of them looked at each other and smiled. Light gave a cup to Katherine. Katherine looks at both of them with confusion. Light asked her to drink it. With a doubtful look Katherine drinks the red liquid and then it clicks her. She is a vampire and she is drinking blood.

She stands in a blink and runs along the house to check her speed. She jumps and shouts in a happy mood. While the other two chuckles.

"Well, I'm very happy for your help. But I need to have a little gang hunt now. "Katherine said in a deathly voice and it alarms the other two.

"No Katherine, you can't do that. Listen to us. You need to stay in this house till we say."

"I'm sorry guys, but I don't do house play. I need to kill my doppelganger." Katherine tries to move to the door but is blocked by an invisible barrier.

"Hey what are you doing, you guys said you are my friends. Why don't you leave me to have a little fun?"

"You can't kill them Katherine. They play their part to complete mission" Light said

"Sorry guys, I can't do that. Let's make a deal, I'll kill them and will help you later. Come on friends" she said with a wink.

"Look Katherine, we risked many life and came here to complete the mission. If you for a second think that I'm gone let you spoil that for your stupid revenge, then you are the most stupidest person in the whole universe" Nathan said in a calm but in a deadly voice.

Katherine stares an angry glare at both of them. Light places her hand in Nathan's shoulder and they both looked at each other. They had their silent conversation.

"Are you sure about this light, we still can't trust her at this moment." Nathan asked.

"Do you think she will do this whole heartily?" Light asked Nathan and Nathan looks between both of them and makes a reluctant nod.

"Whatever you say will not make me stop from my own personal mission."Katherine snapped.

"Look Katherine, listen to us first. If you don't you will be the ultimate looser. You have to run again for another 500 years from Klaus." Katherine looked alarmed when she heard Klaus but tried to be confident.

"Who are you really? I need the truth. You guys kind of make me feel safe and at the same time makes me feel as if I'm in death danger." Katherine asked.

"You don't need to fear us Katherine. You are completely safe with us."Light said and came near Katherine. She flinched back a little.

"This will not hurt you Katherine. Just open your mind and stay calm." For some weird reason Katherine felt safe and did as they said.

Tons of images were embedded into her head. After a minute she opened her eyes with a wide shock expression.

"Oh bloody hell…" Katherine said.

After a long day in Mystic Grill, Caroline enters her room. She feels little odd with Light. She feels like she is drawn to her. Her voice and her eyes remain of her of someone. But she couldn't guess exactly who. While Caroline thinks about her, she falls back asleep.

"How could you do this to us Care? You know who he is and what he has done to all of us?" Bonnie Shouted.

"I'm so so sorry. I dint mean to" Caroline cried. Tears were pouring like falls in her eyes.

"After all she has done to Elena, How can you do this to your friends Blondie? Are you out of your mind? I know you are blond, but I never thought you will be this stupid." Damon stresses each word with anger.

"How can you be our friend, when you were with our enemy?" Stefan yells.

Caroline cries and shouts she is sorry and none believes it. When she was about to talk, she had her final blow which makes her like to stake herself.

"You were with Klaus of all people, you failed your friends, and you put all the people who loved you behind just to be with him. What happened to Tyler? What will you tell him? Woooww. Great Care. I never know you would scoop this low to get the attention. Do you get why you were always the second choice for all. This is it. You were never trustworthy or loyal or at least a friend. All you what is your center of attention and when you get it, you go for anyone. I'm really ashamed to call you my friend." Matt said with disgust and stabs her with a wooden stake.

Everyone around her was laughing at her pain.

Caroline opens her eyes with a long gasp. Caroline cries hard on her bed and thinks about the day in the woods with Klaus.

Flashback

Klaus wraps his hand around Caroline and she cuddled next to him. Both were happy and at the same time both felt another different emotion within them. Klaus is happy that his love has been accepted but he is very sad that he is gone miss her. All because of the loyalty she has for her stupid and self centered friends, it made him angry. He is angry with himself for the first time for all the bad things he had done. Where Caroline is happy that she is able to be herself completely for once in her lifetime. But she feels guilty for both Klaus and her friends. She feels bad that she is being with the person who hurt the all persons she loved. But both of them are happy at this moment in each others arms and dint says a word.

Caroline put Klaus jacket and her little damaged jeans, since her top is completely damaged, while he is still in his jeans and shirt less.

"Caroline..." Klaus called in a calm voice.

She sighs and turns to looks in his eyes. Caroline really felt bad for the sadness, pain and hurt in his eyes.

"Do you really hate me?" the honesty in his voice shook Caroline.

"No Klaus I don't hate you. Do you think I'll sleep with you if I hate you?" He looks at her with a little hope.

"Please come with me Caroline. I'll keep you safe and I'll even change myself. You are really my light to the darkness" He literally begged her.

Caroline is torn between her friends and Klaus. She wished he had seen him before the Elena incident. But the loyalty she had for her friends stopped her to have her true love and happiness. She walked slowly to him and hugged him as if his life depends on the hug. Klaus hugged her back the same way.

"Please Klaus you know me very well. Don't make me choose between both of you guys. I really can't. I'm really trying to look past the terrible things you have done. But it's really hard for me." Klaus lost all the hope he had a second ago and his hands loosens the grip. As always Caroline understands the reason of the act and said, "I never said I'll never be able to look past that. But you need to give me sometime Klaus. I'm sure I will have a life with you. But I have another life before. I have my college, my job, a lot more. Please give me some time." Klaus understands her and nods with the hope in his eyes.

"I still stand by my offer Caroline, I'll take you anywhere and I'll do anything for you sweetheart. All you have to do is ask. I still intend to be your last love. If you need to a person to talk or for any support I will be there for you always." Klaus hugs her tightly and kissed her forehead with a tear struggling to fall from his eyes. Without turning back he left her alone in the woods in his hybrid speed.

Caroline holds his jacket and smells it. It still has his smell in it. The smell of wet woods and rainfall. She smiles with a tear in her cheek. She misses him. She really feels like dying from the thought of Klaus and at the same time she feels guilty for her friends and sometime she is ashamed of her for having a very less control of her own emotions. She feels bad that she played with someone's true feelings but she can't turn her back on her friend. After having the similar kind of dream every night, she puts her friends before her feelings as usual. Once again destroying her dream and her feelings for the people she cared in the town. She falls back to her bed and started crying. She truly felt alone. What she doesn't know is that a shadow watches her through the window in dark with anger in eyes.

Caroline came downstairs with a long tired face. She went directly to fridge to have her blood bag. She turns and she saw her mom.

"Hi mom.! Good morning. Came early today" Caroline asked.

Liz looked at her daughter and she felt something different and asked "Honey are you alright?"

"Ya. I'm good. Why what happened." Caroline asked little confused.

"Do you know what time is? "

"Why its 9'o clock right? Is something wrong?"

"Caroline stop with your playing, it's past 1'o clock."

Caroline looked stunned. "WHAT" She shouted.

"I slept for almost a half a day. No you are joking right?" She checks her clock and it says that her mother is true. Caroline doesn't know what happened.

"Sorry mom. I guess I was very tired and I just slept off. I dint notice the time."Caroline said with a sigh and confusion.

"Better take care of your health sweetheart. I have never seen you like this. Are you having proper sleep? Is something wrong with your friends? Liz asked with concern.

"No mom everything is cool. I had a lot of work yesterday about the fund raiser me and Mrs. Lockwood is organizing. Other than that it's usual." Caroline said.

"Oh. Ok then, I'll take rest. You carry on with your event. Have fun honey." Liz said and moved into her room.

Caroline was little confused. She finished of her blood bag and was in her car in vampire speed and started to move her car to Lockwoods home.

LOCKWOOD MANSION

"Hi "

"Hi Caroline. Are you ok?. You are late! You never do that?" Carol asked.

"Ya I'm good . No work in home" Caroline said with a smile.

"Oh Ok. How is the event process going on?"

"It's almost done. We need to check the music and the table arrangements. Other than that everything is set." Caroline said with a proud smile.

"Oh sweetie, what am I gone do without you in future!" Caroline Smiled. "And Caroline I would like to introduce you to my friend. They will support you in anyways"

Just then Caroline saw the two people working with the music bands. Caroline had a confused look on her face when Light and Nathan joined them.

"Hi Caroline! It's a good to see you again." Light said. Caroline was more confused when she saw the boy. She feels like something in her tells to trust them and both look familier. Her caution rings the bell in her head. But she shakes her head and said "Hi light."

"And Caroline I would like you to meet my brother Nathan". But the question Caroline asked lightly shocked Light and Nathan.

"Hi Nathan. Do I know you? You look familiar." Caroline asked Nathan.

Nathan changed his expression in a second and said "No Caroline. I haven't met you before. May be its your alarm in the head tells that we will be a good friend." With a smile. That made everyone smile.

"Ya Nathan maybe."

"Well Caroline, you better carry on with your work. I'll see you in the evening." Carol said and went off.

That evening went off very well. Caroline became quick friends with both Light and Nathan. But deep down Caroline has a light doubt about both of them. But she ignored it. During their talk Caroline came to know that they were also a part of the sponsors for the events and she was surprised. Caroline thanked Nathan and Light for their help. She invited them both for the dinner to her home, which has been happily accepted.

When Caroline entered the Salvatore mansion, all her gang was there which is little weird. But she knows if the whole gang is there, then there is a hell of a problem going on.

"Hi guys. Whats the problem now?" Caroline asked with a sigh.

"You do you ask is there a problem going on Care?" Matt asked.

"Very simple. I got a text from DAMON to meet me in the mansion and the WHOLE gang is present. Hence the conclusion. Common tell me how what's the meeting for?"

"Wow Blondie, your intelligence is not given the enough credits." Damon said and Caroline notice that Stephen is little worried.

"Are you ok Stefan?" Caroline asked in concern.

"Nope. He is little worried and feeling guilty because he lost the bodies of the bitch and her daughter."

"WHAT" Everyone shouted at the same time.

"He said he did not cremate the bodies. He felt so tired and went to sleep. He doesn't remember about the cremation untill I asked. When we went to see the bodies, they were missing."

"Stefan what happened exactly?" Elena said. Damon just rolled his eyes with an irritation and went to have his Bourbon.

"After you guys went to Grill, I was with the bodies in the bed and I felt so tired, after all the events. So I went to bed. I woke up only by afternoon. I remembered about the cremation only when Damon asked about it."

"Ok. It's Weird. Since when does u sleep till afternoon?" Caroline asked.

"Do you remember meeting anyone or do you think any unnatural events happening in home Stefan" Bonnie asked with an understanding thought.

"What do you think happened here Bonnie?" Caroline asked

"I think somebody took their bodies and block their souls."

"What are you talking about Bon" Elena asked

"Guys I never seen both of them passing through me. I think someone is using their souls as powers or they are trying to bring them back."

"Who do you think will be that stupid?" Damon asked with confusion.

"I don't know Damon. I have no idea. Moreover I can't make anymore magic remember."

"So what just ask you other partners on the other side and get me the answer. I don't want that bitch to be reborn to mess with us again." Damon kind off yelled at Bonnie in frustration.

Bonnie just glared angrily at Damon and just nodded.

Caroline was little confused with the details Stefan said. On her way back to home, she informed Stefan to come to her home. She wished to talk to him alone regarging Light and Nathan. Once Caroline is in her room, she felt someone's presence there. When she turned back she saw an angry hybrid eyes.

"God Tyler, you gave me a heart attack." Caroline said, placing her hand in on her heart.

"What the hell are you doing with Klaus's Jacket? " Tyler shouted.

Thanks for the support guys.

I wish Carol Lockwood had a role in the change of the Mystic gang's lives. So I left her alive in my story.

This siblings traveled to the past, exactly after the death of Katherine and Nadia.
