I could feel him behind me, like an eagle watching its prey, but at the same time I felt safe. I knew that hw would protect me against anything or anyone. I turned around and looked at him, looking directly in his eyes.

'We are here, but please take into consideration that we are here to get some answers. If the information that my friend will give us are not what you want, then please leave.' she told him with a quiet voice. He opened his mouth to say something, but she put her hand up to it. 'This is not open for discussion. I am not Caroline, I am not the love of your life and I will not be the replacement for anyone. Is that clear?'

'Perfect , love', and the original smirk was starting to form on his face.

'Let's go in.' In was an old house, but kept in good condition. Cecily seemed familiar with her surroundings and a small smile started to appear on her face. 'Lara, are you in? Come out, come out, wherever you are! Lara, don't make me use my powers...'

Niklaus just looked at her with total surprise, this ease with which she spoke to people around her, or not, was typical Caroline. She had to be her!

'Cecily Robertson, what an unnusual surprise.' a small woman with black hair spoke. Both women started to smile and locked each other in a tight hug. Tha casual way they spoke and acted around each other, made Niklaus happy. She had friends, she had allies. Thank all powers, as she was protected. 'And who is your friend? A hybrid?'

'A friend! Lara, I have question. How are your powers in finding out more information aboout someone's previous life?'

'Sweety, as always, I'll do my best. Why?'

'Help me find out if I already walked on this Earth or not...Please!'

'Alright!', Lara smiled, but 'Please do not start!'

In a matter of seconds everything around Niklaus seemed to be bathed in a red light.

'Sit down C. and give me your hand', as the women started to smile at each other and Caroline doing exactly what Lara told her, Niklaus looked around as no danger should come to his beloved.

Cecily felt the warmth of the magic coming around her. It always felt so peaceful as she knew she was on with it, born from it. She started to listen to Lara chant, but soon she couldn't hear her voice anymore. She was in a peaceful place, but she wasn't alone. A light seemed to come near her.

'So you came back?', the voice said.

'I have no idee who you are?'. Cecily said in total surprise. This high level magic was new even for her.

The light started to surround her and all she could hear was 'Now you remember'

Walking up was so hard. C. looked around her as Lara and Klaus looked at her really worried.

'My love, are you alright?", the way the word love came from Nik's mouth made her feel so good, but the only thing she could say was.

'Now I remember everything...'

...

Meanwhile in Kol's apartment

'So, how long since you are back brother?'Elijah's voice as sad. It was as he was dissapointed that Kol didn't tell them that he was alive.

'We (Kol signed to him and Katherine) are back for some years.'he answered him as not taking into consideration Elijah's feelings. 'Please do not ignore Katherine as she has done more good for this family as this she bitch that you honour so much', spat Kol with pure venoume. Thank God his nice was fast asleep. This was not a conversation meant to be heared by her.

...

Niklaus took Caroline in his arms and kissed the top of her head.

'Do you remember me, remember us, what we had?'he asked hopeful that he had his love back

'Yes, I do. I remember everything. Even the stupid things you have done for power.'Caroline stated with a small smile on her face. Niklaus seemed as not wanting to let her go. 'But please remember I am still Cecily in this life.'

'You will always be my Caroline.', he took her in his arms bridal style and started taking her out of the house. As he neared the door, he looked around and said 'Thank you Lara, we will keep in touch.'Caroline giggled as Lara looked as a fish.

'I have an apartment in the city. It is not far from here and we will not be disturbed. Do you want to come?'she asked hopeful. She didn't know how things have changed in the last years from Klaus.

Niklaus, as sensing her discomfort, put her down and started to kiss her with the passion of a man whov was starved. Her skin was so warm and still smelled of vanilla. As Caroline neede air sha started pulling away a bit. 'Love, I will never leave you alone again. That I promise you.', they both smiled and started kissing again.
