She runs into the forest and sits down in a small clearing, breathing in the fresh air. It's true, she has always felt at home in the forest. It has a certain peace about it that can't be beaten. She sits for what feels like hours, when she's approached by a deer. It walks right up to her and nuzzles her face gently. She laughs and pats it's coat, loving the animal already. The animal steps back and it's form changes to that of a beautiful young woman, dressed in royal attire, a soft, loving gaze in her eyes.
"Who are you?" Caroline whispered in awe.
"I am the Goddess Daenya." She said and her voice held so much power, it almost hurt Caroline's ears. "I have come to aid you, my beloved creation. I have been waiting for you a long time Caroline Forbes." She smiled.
"What do you mean?" Caroline frowned.
"It is time you knew your true potential Caroline, you must embrace your destiny child. I have faith in you, I made you from my own flesh. Your mortal body shows nothing of your true beauty. Allow me to awaken you." The goddess smiled and approached Caroline cautiously, indicating she meant no harm.
"What are you going to do to me?" Caroline frowned afraid.
"I'm returning your true form to you. With it, your gifts will hold endless power if you dedicate yourself. Your ability to control fire and earth will be restored to you. It is up to you to master your elements, but I have faith in you. You will have new abilities now that I gift you, but it is your task to discover them. Do not fear child, I will be watching over you." She smiled before placing her hand on Caroline's cheek.
Caroline felt heat spread through her body, beginning where the Goddess' fingers touched her skin. It radiated through her, like light itself was radiating from her heart. She felt her body float slightly, rising with Daenya. She could feel her skin glowing, her hair grew longer and now held a shine to it. She felt knowledge grow in her mind, the war of the elements flashing before her eyes. She felt a tear run down her cheek watching the chaos the war caused. After a long while Daenya removed her hand and stepped back, graciously dropping to the ground.
Caroline's feet touched the Earth and she felt at peace with herself. "I'm afraid you will no longer possess vampiric abilities, your soul is too kind for such a thing. Fear not child, you have strength not even a vampire could possess, I made you in likeness to myself. You are truly immortal, in a different likeness to a vampire, for you were made with pure intent." She smiled. "I bid you farewell Caroline. Good luck with your training. Beware Platis' champion. As long as you hold light in your heart, all will be well." She burst into a bright light, blinding Caroline before disappearing.
Caroline smiled, she felt amazing, she wanted to run. She took off in the direction of town, running at a new speed she'd never felt before. She wanted to have fun while she could. She flashed to her house, running up the stairs and straight to her closet. She got changed into a short red dress, then put on sky high black pumps. She quickly fixed her make up and hair, curling it to perfection. Val wasn't home, she must've gone out with Gabe.
She smiled at her appearance in the mirror, grabbing Val's car keys on the way out. She jumped into the camero and drove over to pick up her favorite drinking buddy. She stepped out of the car and knocked on the door to the huge mansion. The door opened revealing Rebekah. "Damn Caroline, you look hot." She gaped.
"I know right." Caroline smirked. "Is Kol home? It's an emergency."
"KOL!" Rebekah yelled. "Caroline's here and she looks hot as hell." Caroline smirked.
Kol flashed to the doorway and his jaw dropped. "Damn Care."
"Yes we've established i'm sexy." Caroline chuckled. "Get your shit together Mikaelson, i'm claiming my raincheck. We're going out." She smiled and Kol jumped up and down with glee.
"Give me five minutes." He smirked before flashing away to change.
"Can I come too?" Rebekah asked timidly.
"Of course you can Rebekah." Caroline smiled. "Any sister of his is a sister of mine." She grabbed her hand and pulled her inside along with her. "Where's your room?"
"Right this way." Rebekah smirked and pulled Caroline into her room. "Now I think that dress is hot, but it's definitely not slutty enough. We've got reputations to uphold as maneaters in this family. I think you'll fit right in." She winked before grabbing a dress out of her closet and shoving it at Caroline. "Put this on, i'll just get changed."
Caroline quickly changed into the dress Rebekah handed her. It was a shimmering gold colour, not too short but not too long either. It gave the perfect view of her cleavage. She looked even better than before. Rebekah came out of the bathroom looking like a model. "It looks good." She commented. "Where are we going?"
"I think we need to return to New York." Caroline smirked. "But we have to be back tomorrow. I have important plans."
"Easy." Rebekah scoffed. "I have fantastic time management."
"Me too, so we're set." Caroline laughed. "It's Kol we've got to worry about." They both rolled their eyes. "Speaking of, should we go downstairs?" She asked and Rebekah nodded. They both walked downstairs, opening the door to the lounge, revealing a dressed to perfection Kol, an appreciative Elijah and a dumbfounded Klaus.
"Catching flies brother?" Rebekah smirked and Klaus looked ashamed for a second before snapping his mouth shut. The girls laughed.
"This is the life." Kol smiled. "Partying with my favourite drinking buddy. It's fantastic having you on speed dial Caroline." Kol smirked at Klaus trying to irritate him.
"Yes, not so great when you drunk call me at 4am Kol. Not attractive." Caroline glares at him. "Are you ready? We need to hurry up."
"What's the rush?" Klaus frowned.
"I have to be back by tomorrow and we're going to New York." Caroline shrugged and Kol was so happy he couldn't contain it.
"I love you right now Caroline." Kol beamed.
"Oh? Just right now? I see how it is." Caroline scoffed. "I'm taking you off my best friends list." Kol pouted. "And replacing you with Rebekah." She smirked and Rebekah smiled triumphantly. "Now hurry up before Val realizes I took off with her car."
"Did you want to come Nik? Elijah?" Rebekah asks, secretly glancing at Caroline.
"No thank you. I have things to attend to." Elijah says politely before flashing upstairs.
"Nik?" Rebekah pouts.
Klaus sighs. "Come on brother, it's the least you could do for putting a dagger in my heart." Kol smirks.
"Fine." Klaus grumbles before flashing upstairs to change. Rebekah smiles and winks at Caroline who rolls her eyes.
"What?" Rebekah asks innocently.
"Nothing." Caroline mumbles.
"Got a wee crush on my brother Caroline? Looks like there's a new strumpet in town Bekah." Kol announces loudly, making sure Klaus could hear.
"Shut it Kol." They both say. Caroline glares before storming out to the car, Rebekah in tow.
Rebekah sits in the front much to Caroline's appreciation. "Thank God, someone with common sense controlling the music."
"I'm handy like that." Rebekah smiles. She puts a CD in turning it up to full volume. The stereo's loudly blaring 'Who's That Chick' by Rihanna, making Klaus and Kol roll their eyes as they jump in the car. Caroline drives out of the drive way laughing with Rebekah as they sing. Kol in the back, passing a bottle of bourbon to Klaus who accepts it greatfully.

The group arrived in New York at 6pm much to Caroline's satisfaction. They drove along the road towards town, discussing where to go. "What about the club we met at Caroline? That's a good place." Kol smirked at her from the backseat.
"I suppose, it's pretty good." Caroline shrugged. "Considering they let people like you in there it doesn't say much for their standards." She laughed.
"Let's just go there I need a drink." Rebekah sighed.
"With you on that one." Klaus murmured from the back.
Caroline pulled over at the club. She jumped out of the car and walked up to the door, skipping the line. The bouncer took his glasses off. "Caroline, good to see you back in town." He smiled and she laughed pointing at Kol. "Kol." He nodded politely. "In you go." He pulled back the rope, letting them through despite the groaning people in line.
Kol smirked. "That's right, New York club royalty coming through." He announced waving people out of the way.
"Pfft Kol stop smooching my fame." Caroline laughed.
"They only let you in because they're scared of Val." Kol glared.
"Pfft, she's harmless. I'll have you know i'm the scary one." She smirked making Rebekah and Klaus laugh.
They walked into the club are and up to the bar. She pushed people out of the way, leaning over the bar. The bartender walked over. "Caroline. Been a while girl." He winked.
"I've been busy." She shrugged and winked. "Can I have as many rounds of tequila shots as you can fit on a tray please Adam?" She pouted and he nodded before walking to fix her drinks yelling out, "Anything for you Caroline!"
She rolled her eyes and jumped off the bar stool walking back to the booth Kol had gotten them. "Adam's working." She rolled her eyes at Kol who laughed.
"Who's Adam?" Klaus frowned.
"No one of consequence." She smirked and Kol chuckled.
"He's the bartender that works here. He has a freaky crush on Caroline. It's quite pathetic really." Kol chuckled. "All though I do love the free drinks." He smiled.
"Cheers to that." Caroline smirked. Adam walked over and placed the tray on the table.
"I put as many as I could fit on the tray Caroline, just like you asked. It's free of course." He beamed at her.
"Thanks." Caroline rolled her eyes and waved him away. She sighed and the other three laughed. They were all making fun of her when a blonde girl approached the table.
"Hey Caroline." She smiled and Caroline sighed.
"Mindy." She smiled back slightly.
"Good to see you're back." She smiled. "Want me to play your song for you?" She raised her eyebrow.
Caroline shrugged and nodded. She picked up a shot and raised it. "Cheers, let's down these quick before Mindy puts my song on." She smiled. They all picked up a shot and downed it, followed by another six or so. "Well I'm sufficiently buzzed. Gotta love not being a vampire." She laughed and they laughed too. "Care to come dance Bekah?" Caroline asked and Rebekah nodded. "Back soon boys." She winked at them and walked into the dance floor with Rebekah.
The song finished and Mindy spoke into the microphone. "Caroline's back in town everybody." She smiled and everyone in the crowd cheered. "This one's for you Care." She said before putting her headphones and putting on 'Rude Boy' making everyone cheer.
Rebekah chuckled. "Wow you really are famous around here."
"I party a lot." She shrugged nonchalantly.
Back at the table Kol chuckled. "Ah Caroline's song."
"Why's this her song?" Klaus frowned.
"She's confident like that." Kol shrugged. "Just wait til she dances." Kol laughed. "Good luck not pitching a tent brother." He smirked and Klaus sniggered.
On the dance floor, Caroline dragged Rebekah up on to the stage, shooing the other people off. She immediately pulled Rebekah closer and starting grinding with her. She oozed sexuality and danced her ass off, much to the pleasure of the men in the room. Rebekah laughed at her antics and soon joined in.
'Come here right now.' the song sang and she pointed her finger to the the table where Kol and Klaus were, motion to come here. Kol smirked. "You're done for brother."
"I'm pretty sure she's doing that to you." Klaus growled.
"No way." He raised his hands in mock defense. "We're not like that."
"Could've fooled me brother." Klaus smirked secretly happy.
"We both know we're better as friends." He shrugged. "We don't see each other like that."
"She didn't fall for your charms then brother?" Klaus chuckled.
"Yes well, I can't help that i'm incredibly handsome and she can't see it." He pouted. "I don't think of her like that anyway. We hung a lot while she was here, we're just friends. She's probably my only one." Kol laughed. "Wouldn't trade her for a hundred people though." Klaus laughed at him. "We even have tattoos!" Kol cried taking another shot.
"Tattoos?" Klaus frowned.
"We got really wasted one night and woke up in the morning with tattoos." Kol shrugged.
"Huh." Klaus frowned. "Can I see yours?"
"Ah." Kol frowned and stood up, undoing his pants making Klaus spit out his drink. "Don't worry brother, it's on my ass cheek." He smirked making Klaus chuckle. He pulled his pants down to show Klaus the small tattoo on his ass cheek saying 'Caroline's Bitch.'. Klaus laughed uncontrollably while Kol did up his pants.
"What's Caroline's?" Klaus asked still laughing.
Kol smirked. "Ask her." He said pointing to her as she approached the table with Rebekah. She huffed and sat down leaning on Kol.
"Shots ruin me." She mumbled before having another one.
"Klaus wants to see your tattoo Caroline." Kol smirked and she smiled "I showed him mine."
Caroline laughed telling Rebekah about it, making her laugh too. She stood up in front of Klaus. She lifted up her dress making Klaus look away and she laughed. "Relax it's on my hip." She chuckled.
Klaus looked up, trying to avoid staring at her panties, looking at her hip where the small tattoo said 'Kol Mikaelson Best Friends Forever.' He smiled at the words and Rebekah laughed at it. "Hey, my tattoo is awesome." Caroline smiled. "One of the better one's anyway." She shrugged.
"You have more?" Klaus asked politely, trying not to blush still.
"Yes. I have a star on my ankle and a phrase written in Latin on my ribs." She shrugged.
"What does it mean?" Rebekah smiled and Caroline looked away.
"ignis aqua terra ventus mea fata unicus est mihi inimicus." Kol smiled with Caroline.
"I haven't done Latin in a while Kol." Rebekah rolled her eyes. "What does that mean?"
"Fire, Earth, Wind, Water, my destiny is my only enemy." Klaus said and Caroline smiled and nodded. "What made you get that?"
She frowned. "Long story." She rolled her eyes. "For another time." She said determined. Everyone nodded in agreement. "Shots!" She exclaimed and everyone laughed picking up another shot.
"Cheers!" Everyone exclaimed.
