Caroline sat on the sofa calling Rebekah's phone. It seemed to be the only one that really had service. Tyler was beside her, emailing the details all to the phone. She was glad this was all finally done so that she could go break into the Salvatore house and have a shower. The vervain in the town water supply had made her quick rinse earlier become a sponge bath from water bottles, and she wanted a real proper hot shower at this point.

The phone was answered and she heard Rebekah's voice on the other side. "Hello?"

Of COURSE it was Klaus' sister that answer the phone. Go figure. It was like she would never be rid of the Mikaelsons. And, Klaus had been acting odd since he had read out the last part. She didn't believe him in what he had said the translation was, and now he was pacing back and forth. Whatever, maybe now he would finally talk. He was SO not getting a charged cell phone that he could just text Rebekah from.

"Hey, it's Caroline. We have the translation of the tattoo. We're emailing you pictures of the map and instructions right now."

She takes a glance at the laptop and sees that they have been sent and she waits to hear from Rebekah. After a few moments of waiting, and taking a glance at Klaus to see him still pacing, she hears Rebekah's response.

"Got it, thanks."

Caroline is ready to hang up the phone, but then he speaks. Of course he speaks. It's like he lives to destroy her plans.

"Actually, it was me."

Caroline looked up from the phone to Klaus, who had a huge grin on his face. He was still pacing, but it was as though she could see a little more brightness in his eyes as he spoke to his sister. His only sister. And one of only two living siblings. He was an immortal being with only his family, and now even they were dying off.

"Nik, you helped?"

"You sound so surprised, little sister."

Caroline had been thinking about that for a little bit. She had come to the Gilbert house, expecting him to help, but had still been surprised when he did. Had he helped because he wanted to impress Caroline, or to insult Tyler, or had he been doing it for another reason. She wished she could see behind that mask he had up now.

"Shouldn't I be?" Rebekah scoffed on the other end of the line, then continued. "You don't want me to be human, you don't want any of us to be human, why would you help us find the cure?"

Always and Forever. That had been their promise to each other. And now, Rebekah wanted to end Forever. He would only have 50 or 60 more years with his little sister if he was lucky. But, if he didn't help her, she might never forgive him. She would run off with their friend and leave him behind. No family... No hybrids...

"Maybe I finally realized the longer I stand in the way of what you want, the longer you'll continue to hate me. Perhaps I want my sister to finally know happiness." He looked up towards the phone and stopped in his steps, smiling. Happiness. If any of his siblings deserved it, it was his little sister. How many times had she lost love because of their existence. Because of their father. If he couldn't be happy, perhaps she could.

Rebekah didn't seem to buy it. "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me a hundred times..."

Now he was getting a little angry. He had been spending the entire morning after saving Caroline's life watching Caroline and Tyler sit together on the couch, and all he wanted to do was hold her in his arms again. He had no more patience for the peasant boy, and that meant his patience for his little sister was shortened significantly.

"No more fooling. No more games." He took a pause between each statement. "I hope you get to live, and die, as you wish."

Rebekah said nothing and he wanted to take in a breath and hold it. No, what was wrong with him. Breathing was a waste of time. What a human response.

"So do I."

Caroline looked down at the phone, wanting to almost give Klaus a bit of privacy. He had finally made a little peace with Rebekah. Possibly the last peace he could, if either of them took the cure. She was happy for him. She couldn't help but wonder how it had ended with Kol. Finn? Henrik? What were the last words he had said to Elijah? She still could never forget saying goodbye to her father.

"There is, one more thing, Rebekah." She looked at Tyler, who was also looking at her, and then saw him look to Klaus. She couldn't turn to look at him. She was waiting on edge to know what that last inscription had said. It was obviously somewhat important, given he had lied to her about it.

"There is only one dose of the cure."

Oh my god. Oh my god. Seriously? She reached over to grab the phone to hang it up as quickly as possible with Tyler scrambling to grab it too. There was only one? One cure? Elena. Stefan. Rebekah. Klaus for Tyler. There was only one. And now Rebekah knew. Had Elena and Stefan close enough to hear that?

"You need to find it first and take it; it's the only way your-"

The phone was cut off, and Klaus grinned at the two of them as they looked at him in shock. He shrugged his shoulders and held up his hands, almost trying to tell him he was sorry, but really, he was elated. He got out the words before they knew what was going on. And now Rebekah knew. She could take the cure, have a few years of life, and then he could turn her again. Everything was falling into place.

One cure. There was just one. And Caroline didn't really know how to feel about that.

Love me, people. You get a bunch of chapters in one day.

While you're reading this, about fifty billion more ideas have appeared in my head. We have a long Klaroline road to run down till I'm out of them, so prepare yourselves.
