Caroline sat on the couch in her living room with a bucket of Ben & Jerry's Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough ice cream. She looked down at her cup of ice cream and tears fogged up her eyes. She scooped a spoonful and put into her mouth. She never thought she would be sitting on her couch Saturday morning eating ice cream trying to watch the Big Bang Theory to cheer herself up. For all the parts she would have laughed at over and over again, she sat there numb as ever. She scooped up another spoonful and placed it in her mouth when she heard the front door open. Stefan walked in.

"Hey. Ice cream? So early in the morning?" Stefan said.

"What? Are there rules now that vampires can't eat ice cream early in the morning?" Caroline said with sarcasm.

"No, there is no such rule." Stefan laughed as he came around and sat down next to Caroline on the couch.

"What happened?" Stefan asked. He could see she was upset, it wasn't like Caroline to sit at home on a Saturday morning eating ice cream.

"Tyler and I broke up." She whispered. She hadn't grasped the fact that they weren't together anymore.

"What? Why?" Stefan asked as he put his arms around her shoulders.

"Yesterday night when I went to his house, he was talking to Hayley again. He had picked up one of her calls before but I thought he was just telling her to leave him alone. But when I heard him talking to her yesterday telling her to come over, I just burst. I was furious! He had been so down the past couple of days because Klaus killed his hybrid friends and then there was his mom's death. Well Hayley's the one who snapped my neck and set them up. Not just that, he got so mad at me when I bargained Klaus to let Jeremy kill one of the hybrids. So when I get his hybrid friend killed I'm bad, and Hayley gets twelve killed but she has her reasons?" Caroline said.

"Reasons?" Stefan was curious. The twelve hybrids were killed for a ritual so Bonnie can gain power but what other reason could there be?

"Yeah, he said that she did it to protect him and she had no choice. I told him that was a bunch of crap because of the ritualistic sacrifice. Tyler was like I didn't get it because I wasn't a werewolf or a hybrid. He's like I don't get what it's like to be a part of a pack. At that point I had had enough and I knew that this wasn't going anywhere. It was like that understanding and companionship we started off with wasn't there anymore. So I said I thought this wasn't working anymore and before I even finished he said that he felt the same and that we had different ways to go." Caroline said.

"I'm sorry Caroline. I know it's hard." Stefan said as he hugged her. The tears that were fogging her eyes now slid down her cheeks. They sat there for a while until Caroline calmed down.

"So what's going on with you and Rebekah?" Caroline asked.

"I don't know. I'm trying to move on." Stefan said.

"What about Elena? I mean you guys are like, epic." Caroline said.

"No Caroline, it's a clean break now." Stefan said.

"What do you mean?"

"Well Elena and I talked yesterday..." Stefan told her about his conversation with Elena how it's completely over.

"Wow. That was tough. I guess we're in the same boat." Caroline laughed.

"I guess so." Stefan said.

"So what about Rebekah?" Caroline asked again.

"I don't know. We were together in the twenties, but that was just fun. Right now, I'm not sure where we stand." Stefan said.

"Okay. Don't worry, you'll figure it out." Caroline said.

"I hope so." Stefan said as he took Caroline's spoon and plopped a large spoonful of ice cream into his mouth.

"Don't get a brain freeze now." Caroline laughed.

The atmosphere had lightened up now. Caroline and Stefan sat there on the couch eating ice cream and watching the first season of The Big Bang Theory. They were almost through three quarters of the season when Liz walks in.

"Hey kids." Liz said.

"Hey Mom!" Caroline said.

"Hello Sheriff Forbes." Stefan greeted.

"Caroline, I won't be home tonight. There was some accident near the Wickery Bridge that needs to be investigated. Also have you seen Bonnie lately?" Liz said.

"No why?" Caroline said.

"I don't know but the mayor seems to be worried about her. Anyways, you guys have fun. I just came to get some documents. Good night." Liz said as she walked out the door.

"Hmm, I wonder what's up with Bonnie. Didn't she come with you guys?" Caroline said.

"Yeah she did. She was fine then." Stefan said.

"Well I'm just going to call her to see what's going on." Caroline said as she took her phone and called Bonnie. After about five rings Bonnie picked up.

"Hello." Bonnie said. Her voice sounded weak as if she was really tired.

"Bonnie, are you okay?" Caroline asked. She was concerned, Bonnie never sounded like this before.

"Caroline. I don't know what to do. It's expression…" Bonnie ran out of breath.

"What happened?" Caroline asked now panicked.

"I don't know. I feel like I'm being drained." Bonnie said.

"Bonnie I'm coming over. I'll be there in a few minutes." Caroline said as she looked at Stefan. He had heard everything. Within the next minute they were out the door and on their way to Bonnie's house.

After a quick run Caroline and Stefan were outside Bonnie's house. Caroline walked up the steps and rang the door bell. Bonnie opened the door. She really did look drained. Her eyes had dark circles under them, her eyes were red and there were dried blood marks on her upper lip.

"Bonnie! Oh my gosh, are you okay?" Caroline said as she walked in followed by Stefan.

"I don't know. I can feel this dark magic taking over me and the more I push back at it the more it drains me out. I feel like I'm in this constant battle." Bonnie said. She walked into her room and sat down on her bed. She looked at an old book that was open in front of her. "But I've been doing research and I found this spell in Emily Bennett's grimoire. It's a cleansing spell." Bonnie said.

"Do you think it will work?" Caroline asked.

"I don't know, but I think it's worth a try." Bonnie said.

"Bonnie don't you think you should talk to another witch to confirm. I mean what if something goes wrong." Stefan said.

"I tried, but no one would help me. They're scared that the powers might transfer. They said that I have to do it on my own." Bonnie said. "This is my only shot."

"Does it say what this cleansing spell is used for?" Caroline asked. She wasn't going to let her best friend risk her life.

"Well it says it's to cleanse one's system from the darkest magic but doesn't say what kind. I'm glad you're here. Will you stay here until it's done? I can't do this on my own." Bonnie asked.

"Of course we will." Caroline said.

Caroline and Stefan helped Bonnie prepare for the spell. They set the candles and glasses of salt in a circle on the floor. Bonnie sat in front of it and opened the grimoire. She looked at it for a few moments and took a deep breath in.

"Bonnie I know you can do this." Caroline said.

Bonnie nodded and started chanting the spell. Suddenly, the lights went out and the candles lit in high flames. Bonnie continued chanting, as she said the words out loud, they echoed. There was a strange gust of wind blowing in the room even though all the windows were closed. Then the salt in the glasses held blue flames. As Bonnie continued to chant the spell, the wind got stronger and stronger turning into a tornado in the middle of the circle. There was chaos; everything in the room was flying around. Bonnie's eyes flew open,

"Oh my gosh!" Bonnie screamed.

"Bonnie keep going!" Caroline yelled over the turmoil.

Bonnie looked down at the grimoire and started chanting again. Then a white light flashed from the centre of the circle towards Caroline and Stefan.

"Bonnie!" Caroline screamed and the next second they were gone.

"Caroline! Stefan!" Bonnie screamed and she shut the grimoire. Bonnie's mom walked into her room the next moment looking at a dark tornado in the middle of the room.

"Bonnie complete the spell!" You have no choice. Please finish it! You are almost there." She yelled.

"Mom! Caroline and Stefan are gone! I don't know what happened." Bonnie cried.

"Honey just finish the spell before something else goes wrong!" She yelled.

Bonnie reluctantly opened the grimoire and started chanting the cleansing spell again. Slowly, the tornado in the middle of the room vanished, and everything calmed down. Bonnie's mom ran to her and hugged her.

"I am so proud of you Bonnie. That wasn't an easy spell." She said.

"Mom…my friends! They're gone!" Bonnie said, her voice shook. "There wasn't anything in the spell about a sacrifice…where could they go?"

"Shushhhhh… it's ok." Bonnie's mom said trying to comfort Bonnie.

"Mom…I killed my friends." Bonnie cried."

Bonnie sat there in her mom's arms crying. She didn't have any kind of magic anymore to even find out what happened. No one realized that during the havoc, the pages of the grimoire had flipped to the time travel spell.

Stefan slowly opened his eyes and looked up at the blue sky and white clouds passing by. He sat up and looked around. He was in a dense forest with trees and other vegetation everywhere. He slowly stood up and saw a lake close by. He wondered where he was and as he started to walk his pants felt a bit weird. When he looked down he saw that he was wearing dark brown leather pants that matched what looked like a belt he was wearing around his torso. He tried to focus on his surroundings in case he heard something but soon realized that he no longer had his vampire abilities. Then it hit him, he was human. Bonnie's spell seemed to have transported him somewhere and also made him human. Stefan started to walk trying to find something or someone he can recognize. That's when he heard laughter and some guys walking through the forest. He couldn't believe his eyes. Even though they were still far away, it was Klaus, Elijah and Kol. But how could that be? Kol was dead, Jeremy had killed him.

Then Stefan realized that he was in the past. The originals were still human and very much alive. Wait; if he was in the past then Caroline must have also been transported. Stefan frantically looked around.

"Caroline!" Stefan called as he walked to the place he landed. He couldn't see her anywhere.

Then Niklaus walked through the bushes followed by Elijah and Kol. They were wearing the same kind of clothing he was and had long hair. Stefan ran his hand through his hair, it was long as well.

"Hello there. I'm Niklaus and these are my brothers Elijah and Kol." Klaus said extending his arm to shake Stefan's.

Stefan took his hand, "Hi, I'm Stefan." He said as he shook each one of their hands.

"You are not from around here, are you?" Elijah asked.

Before, Stefan could answer a boy around twelve ran up to them.

"What is it Henrik?" Klaus asked.

"There is a girl unconscious by the trees near the lake." Henrik said as he tried to catch his breath.

"Caroline." Stefan said as he broke into a run towards the place the boy had come from. There, near the lake, was Caroline. She had a long lavender dress on with a braided leather belt around her waist. Even her hair was longer.

"Caroline; Caroline wake up!" Stefan said as he picked up head and put it in his lap.

Stefan looked up and saw Klaus staring down at her with admiration in his eyes. Soon, Elijah, Kol and Henrik were also there. Stefan checked for her pulse; she was alive.

"Caroline." Stefan said.

"I think she needs help. You can come with us; we don't live too far from here and our mother can help treat her." Elijah said.

"Thank-you." Stefan said as he picked her up in his arms and started to follow Elijah.

"So where are you from?" Kol asked as they walked through the forest.

"We've been travelling for a long time. We're from a far away village. We've been travelling for most of our lives." Stefan made it up.

"Who is she?" Klaus asked. Stefan realized that he was asking about his relationship to Caroline. He hadn't thought about this before. If they were in the twenty-first century, it would have been fine to say they were friends. However, they would be looked down at here. He had never looked at Caroline in that way before so he said,

"She's my sister."

There was a spark that came into Klaus's eyes once he realized that they were just siblings. His lips curved up into a smile. Who knew that the Klaus, thousand years in the past would still have a thing for Caroline, Stefan thought.

"So what about the rest of your family?" Henrik asked.

"They died." Stefan replied; it was much easier that way.

"I'm sorry to hear that." Elijah said.

"It's okay; it was a long time ago." Stefan said.

Finally they arrived at the village. Elijah and the others lead him to their house. They told him how their father was a landowner and how their mother had special abilities.

"Mother! Please come out." Elijah called.

"Yes Elijah, what is it?" There stood the original witch.

Here is my next chapter. Please leave your reviews, I would really like to know what you think. Thank-you!
