A/N: Thank you so much for taking time to read and leave a review. This chapter is intended to give you some background information on what happened five hundred years ago.

Chapter 2

It was late afternoon when Caroline entered the cemetery. Her head was still spinning from the scene that took place in the cafeteria. Stefan was just as stunned to see her as she was to see him. It was almost five hundred years since the last time she had seen him. She wasn't sure which one of them bailed the fastest. Poor Megan must have been stunned but seeing him standing next to her like that had flooded her mind with memories. Megan must have been so confused. She would have to find a way to apologise.

Caroline made her way through the rows of headstones to the old part of the cemetery. She found the grave she was looking for easily. "Elena Gilbert Donovan." Caroline read the name out loud. Even after all these years it was still painful to think about what had happened. Caroline sat down with her back against the headstone. "How is it possible Elena?" She whispered softly. Taking a deep breath she closed her eyes and let the memories flood back.

She was standing in Elena's room tears flowing down her cheeks. She looked at Elena who was crying just as hard. "No Elena please, we will figure something out." Caroline's voice cracked as she tried to change her friend's mind. "I have made up my mind Care." Elena spoke softly through her tears. "Jeremy sacrificed himself to save all of you and I will not let that be for nothing. Now please go."

Caroline walked out of Elena's room tears still staining her cheeks. After Bonnie had desiccated Klaus, Elena made a deal with Elijah that they would return Klaus' body to him as long as he promised not to bring Klaus back. Elijah agreed and the exchange was made. None of them however thought about Rebekah.

A few days after they returned Klaus' body Rebekah approached Jeremy in the Grill. Even though Klaus was gone they still had Alaric to worry about. Rebekah made Jeremy an offer. He could save his sister and all their friends.

She had found a witch that was willing to use the same spell John had used to give up his life for Elena. The witch would link Elena's life to Jeremy's; Rebekah would kill her which in turn would lead to Alaric's death. Once Alaric was dead Elena would come back to life but Jeremy had to die.

Jeremy accepted the offer and not long after the plan was executed. Elena was devastated when she found out what Jeremy and Rebekah had done. It was not the only plan Rebekah had up her sleeve. Once Alaric was gone Rebekah brought Klaus back by giving him blood. Not long after Jeremy's death Elena was offered her own deal.

Klaus and his family would leave all her friends and family in peace if she agreed to give him blood when he wanted it. Elena agreed and informed all of her friends of her decision. Caroline couldn't stay around Mystic Falls anymore. Aside from the town knowing what she was Elena didn't want her around anymore and Tyler had disappeared without even saying good bye. So with the help of her mom and Dr. Meredith Fell she faked her death and left Mystic Falls behind. Two years later Caroline heard Elena and Matt had gotten married but she never heard about them having a family.

After Elena pushed them away everyone seemed to go off the deep end. Damon set off to kill every hybrid Klaus made from Elena's blood and Stefan became the ripper again. The only one that seemed to be okay was Bonnie. She married Jamie and they had a happy family.

"I figured I would find you here." Caroline was so lost in thought that she hadn't even noticed the girl approaching her. "Megan or Katherine?" She asked looking up. "Katherine." She gave Caroline a small smile and pulled her up. "I heard I have a surprise new doppelganger." she said softly. Caroline didn't smile. Katherine knew Caroline well enough by now to know there was more going on. "Come on, let's go home and you can fill me in." She said leading Caroline out of the cemetery.

A/N: So I hope everyone gets what I was trying to say in this chapter. Please leave me a review and let me know what you thought.
