When Fate Comes Knocking
Caroline's Pov
Caroline opened the basket and took out a couple of sandwiches while Frederick stood next to her grabbing the bottle of champagne. He aimed it away from him before the cap automatically sprung off. Caroline raised an eyebrow at him.
"Ah Frederick," Freya said. "We don't use our powers in public." He raised an eyebrow at her.
"Why not?" He asked. Freya bit her lip, before he laughed. "I am just kidding Freya I know why. I won't use my powers in public. Promise." Freya sighed and nodded.
"Speaking of powers, mom don't you think Caroline should start to learn?" Freya murmured. Johanna glanced to Caroline.
"It may be slightly harder for her to get the force of her powers, seeing as she hasn't grasp them even when she was human. But if she works hard I am sure that she can." Johanna put her hand over Wendy's mouth when she tried to say something. "If she wants to of course," They all turned to Caroline. Caroline thought for a moment. She had recently found out yesterday that she was a powerful witch from a world called Asgard.
"Yes I would like to learn." Caroline said. She figured that if she had these powers like Johanna and the rest of her family then she might as well learn how to use them. Freya smiled and Wendy walked over to Caroline.
"As your teacher, I will show you everything, from spell casting, to telekinesis, minimum weather control and so much more." Wendy replied.
"And what if I would like to teach my daughter." Johanna gave Wendy a look. Wendy shrugged.
"Well she can chose," Wendy turned to Caroline with a grin. "Just so you know, I am the fun teacher." Johanna shook her head.
"And here we go," She rolled her eyes at her younger sister. She knew that Wendy was wild, passionate and sometimes impulsive with magic, she would still like to keep her children safe. And magic was still dangerous.
"She's just jealous," Wendy whispered to Caroline. Caroline chuckled.
"We can discuss, training Caroline later let us enjoy this Fourth of July Barbeque." Caroline handed Frederick a sandwich.
"Thanks, so you don't know how to use your powers at all?" He asked. Caroline shook her head. "Nothing strange in your life that could be a sign of having powers?"
"Nope, I have been normal almost my whole life, except for three years ago I was turned into a vampire." Frederick studied her.
"Really? I am sure that now that you know of your identity that your powers will start to manifest." Caroline shrugged. She was still taking in everything that had happened to her all in just two days. It was easier for her because she was already a vampire, a supernatural. Her phone buzzed, and she glanced down at the text.
Caroline, I know that you are mad. But would you please call me so that I know you're ok.
-Liz
Caroline deleted the message and poured herself a glass of champagne. She knew that her friends were moving on after the recent events. Stefan had left town without a word. Enzo had disappeared, Bonnie and Damon were dead. Elena wasn't dealing with the loss of her boyfriend well. And last that she heard of Matt was that he was still in Mystic Falls with her mother of course. Tyler, she remembered the day before she found out the truth. He had confronted her and wanted to get back together with her. But she had kept her promise, she had given him an ultimatum and he choose his revenge fantasy over her. This just proved to her in the end that he wasn't the love of her life like she had once thought. And it wasn't until she met a certain hybrid in the woods. Now she had moved on, she didn't see Tyler and her together any longer. But lately she had been dreaming about someone who she had promised herself she wouldn't think of again. So why couldn't she get him out of her head?
"Frederick, can you help me find someone?" Freya asked. Frederick looked up at her. He thought for a moment before nodding.
"Yes, we can use the astral projection spell. It will help us find this person that you are looking for. We won't be there but we can see through our thought bodies." Johanna took a sip of her drink and smiled. She looked so happy to have her family back together again. Caroline glanced to her, as the twins ran off to find a place to cast the spell.
"So who is your adopted mother?" Johanna asked.
"Elizabeth Forbes, she is the town sheriff in Mystic Falls."
"I hope she was good mother to you." Caroline shrugged.
"She was my adopted mother, she may have been my guardian but she was never there. She was always working after my adopted father left her for another man. After that I practically raised myself, she was always gone. Even when I became a vampire, but she also couldn't accept me either for what I am now. How come when you found out I was a vampire you were able to accept me and you hadn't even met me?"
"Caroline, I have known you for lifetimes. Even though in this lifetime we hadn't known each other you are still my daughter. I know your soul, that's what never changes Caroline. For four hundred years Caroline, I have watched you and your sisters grow up and learn your gifts before you die over and over again. If anything I find this a blessing because you have never lived this long. That's all I have ever wanted was for you and your sisters to have long and happy lives. Besides you're my daughter I will always love you no matter what." Johanna gave her a loving smile. Caroline was happy to know Johanna was her mother. Despite the Beauchamp family curse, it was nice to know that her mother only wished for them to live longer, experience new things and have happiness.
"Who is my father?" She couldn't help but wonder. "I heard you mention him this morning to Frederick." Johanna nodded.
"Victor," Johanna murmured softly. She was debating whether to tell Caroline that they were separated. But then again they didn't seem to be right now.
"What is he like?" Johanna smiled to herself thinking of her former husband and now perhaps lover.
"He is brave, powerful, wise, caring and he loves all of us. He was always trying to protect you, Freya and Ingrid. We both were, but fate isn't easy to evade. You were always very close to him Caroline." This man named Victor was her father, and from the way that her mother had described him it felt like she did know him.
"When will he be back?" Johanna shrugged.
"In a day or two I believe. He is going to be so happy to see you again."
"I would like to meet him before I go back." The immortal witch raised an eyebrow.
"You don't have to go back if you don't want to Your more than welcome to stay as long as you want." Caroline smiled to her.
"Really? I don't want to be a bother." She shook her head.
"Caroline you are not a bother, I thought I would have to give birth to you again to just see you again. I never thought I would ever see you again in this lifetime."
"Well if I do stay perhaps I can look for a job as well."
"Freya, works at the Bent Elbow, I think they are hiring." Caroline nodded.
"I will be sure to check it out." Johanna looked down at her watch.
"Where is Ingrid? She was supposed to be here an hour ago. I bet she is lost in that library again. She loves to read, she seems to live there most of the time." She joked. "Why don't you go to the library and get her. It's just down the street to the left. Can't miss it. While I go find out what happened to Wendy." Caroline nodded.
Caroline found the library quite easily since it was a small town after all. She opened the door and looked around.
"Sorry were closed for the rest of the day," She heard her voice.
"Actually it's me." Caroline said.
"Caroline, hey come on in. Is mom looking for me? Sorry I lost track of the time after Dr. Foster brought in a new selection of books from London. Check out this book." Caroline walked over to where she stood behind the desk with a giant old looking book. Ingrid turned the book so that Caroline could see.
"What is it?" She asked.
"It a book about our family. Look," Ingrid pointed to the image of a young woman that seemed to resemble Ingrid.
"The Key?" Caroline read. "What does that mean?" Ingrid shook her head.
"I don't know, all I can guess is that it has something to do with me being able to open the portal to Asgard. But other than that, I am not sure." Caroline studied it for a minute.
"It's our family tree," Caroline looked over the other names. "Johanna the Dagger, Wendy is called the Bridge," Caroline paused when she read what Freya was called. "The Traveler," She just hoped that didn't mean she was part of that warlock Markos's coven or something. Caroline moved to the next person and paused as she stared at the image of a blonde girl that looked like her. "The Phoenix?" Caroline didn't understand why she was called this.
"I believe in folklore the Phoenix has always represented the immortal fire bird." Caroline gave her a look.
"So I am some sort of fire bird." Ingrid shrugged.
"I am not sure," They both found another image of a woman that both Caroline and Ingrid had never met.
"The Gatherer? Who is that?" She asked. Ingrid looked just as confused before turning to her.
"I don't know," Caroline and Ingrid made it back to the park looking for Johanna, Wendy and Frederick.
"Ingrid," Caroline turned to tall, dark blonde hair man. His cold icy blue eyes glazed over her.
"Dash, hi. Ah Caroline this is Dash, an old friend of Freya's. Dash this is our younger sister Caroline, she had um been living with my father over the years." She lied. Dash glanced to the other Beauchamp young woman. He may not have known her but he still disliked the Beauchamp family.
"Nice to meet you," He said before turning back to Ingrid.
"Same I'm sure-
"Look can I talk to you for a minute it's important." Dash cutting her off and turning back to Ingrid.
"Yeah sure," Ingrid said. Caroline left that's when the scent hit Caroline. Blood. Caroline glanced around before following the scent of blood and that's when everyone became quiet. She heard someone shouting before finding a crowd of people. Her eyes widened as she took in the man, stumbling around.
"He's here," The man said. Blood coated his face and hands. "He walks among us, he's carving the ancient symbol of the king. This is a warning to us all." He screamed in agony as he ripped his shirt open to the blood mark on his chest. People screamed as they scattered running away from the man. Caroline stared at the strange mark on his chest. Caroline glanced around before noticing the blur in the woods again. Looking around, before flashing off after it. She raced through the woods trying to catch up with the shadow but it was gone.
Caroline was fuming over the events that had happened today. She wasn't sure what she had seen in the woods or what on earth happened today. People were talking about a serial killer in East End. But like Beauchamps, Caroline knew better. The sun had gone down, Johanna had been making dinner while Caroline, Freya, Ingrid and Frederick watched the fireworks that Freya and Ingrid had conjured up. Caroline stood up and headed into the kitchen where Johanna was taking a roasted turkey out of the oven.
"Need some help," Johanna shook her head.
"Dinner is almost ready, just have to get the mash potatoes."
In the other room, Frederick had heard a knock on the door. He answered it, finding two other strangers standing there.
"Does a Johanna Beauchamp live here?" The man asked.
"Mom!" He called. Caroline and Johanna looked at one another before Johanna exited the room and headed for the front door. Caroline right behind her. Frederick moved away from the door to reveal the two men standing there.
"Elijah," Johanna said when she made it to the door. He gave her a smile.
"Johanna, is has been a long time." Caroline froze when she saw who stood at the door. His eyes found hers, and he held her gaze.
"Caroline,"
"Klaus."
Notes: So here is another chapter. Wendy or Johanna who should be Caroline's teacher? Ingrid finds a book on the family, they all are titled or called something. What do you think of Caroline being known as the Phoenix? What happened to that man? Klaus and Caroline reunite, next chapter Klaroline reunite, Caroline learns something about her past lives. Next chapter should just be a Klaroline reuniting chapter. I can't say that it will be love at first sight, but there is still romance. Seven reviews and I can try to update on Friday seeing as it is Halloween and all I will be doing is watching movies and eating candy. Thanks again for the reviews guys. You're amazing!
