I DO NOT OWN TVD.

Thank you so much for the reviews and love. I'm sorry for the wait I've just been a bit busy with college starting this week!

To the Guest who asked if Hayley is a wolf or hybrid, I went with hybrid. Raiza928: Ilove Kennet too but for this fic they will be friends only. Sorry! And to Eils-amacsweeny, Silas plays a part and that will all be explained in the next chapter. And to all the people who reviewed saying you liked it so much love to all of you.

So without further ado, here is Chapter 7.


The twins were made their way into the bayou. Apparently Tyler was here, right in New Orleans, Ella and Cameron were surprised to say the least. Klaus was hunting him and yet he stays in his city. He truly is an idiot, Cameron thought to himself.

After they got their mom back, the twins swore they would leave New Orleans and never look back. They didn't want to face the Mikaelson's ever again. Why would they? Ella and Cameron just lied and tricked them, took down their vampires and hybrids, drained their witches and Klaus' only daughter and then flat out mocked them in their faces. Yes, they could easily take them on but that isn't the point. The point is, they are going to be pretty pissed and the twins would rather not have to deal with that. And anyway, if they did ever come across them again, Caroline would make them apologise and Ella and Cameron hate apologising. It would just be easier to avoid them altogether. Katherine and Stefan probably already dropped the "You have 2 other kids" on them.

"So now what?" Ella asked leaning against a tree. This was risky since Tyler did not know about them. And who knows what precautions he's taken. Nothing will kill them but it can hurt like hell. He's in NOLA for crying out loud! If the hybrid was planning on being in the same place as Klaus then he must have people on his side. Maybe Cameron was right and he is an idiot. Wouldn't surprise them after seeing just who their dad is.

"We just go in there. Weaken him by taking away some of his hybrid abilities. Probably just take him to the cemetery as it's the closest source of magic. The witches herre practice ancestral magic, right?"

"Yeah." Ella replied. She could feel the magic coursing through this town, and it was old.

"That's our best bet then. The sacrifice will harness more power there than if we do it here. It doesn't really matter but doing it there will speed up the process." Cameron seemed to have everything figured everything out. They both knew that time was not on their side as their aunt was probably gaining on them right this second. Bonnie would not be happy and while the twins were a lot more powerful, their aunts definitely scared them when crossed. Especially Katherine and Bonnie. Ella shuddered at the thought of her aunts lecturing her. That is definitely worse than having to take on a vampire army.

"Okay that sounds about right. How do you suppose we get there? I mean we can't just grab his body and drag him to the cemetery 'cos that will just arise suspicion." She raised her eyebrows at her brother.

"Duh," Cameron rolled his eyes at his sister. "We just flash him out of here. Or we could do a transfer spell."

"Transfer spell." Ella nodded her head in agreement. That would be easier and they wouldn't leave any tracks that way. The Mikaelson's were old so they were probably very good at tracking.

"Well glad that's settled then," Cameron's eyes lit up and he clasped his hands together. This was going to be fun.

- Mikaelson mansion -

Bonnie arrived moments later with Enzo in tow. "What the hell have you done, Pierce?" Bonnie screamed as she made her way through the foyer and into the library. When news reached that the twins had created a scene at the Mikaelson family home and now they're missing.

"Why do you think it's my fault?" Katherine snapped back. Of course even after 18 years of being a friend to the group (well most of them, Elena and Damon still couldn't stand her) she would blamed for everything that goes wrong. Most of the time it was her fault but this time it wasn't/

"Because it's you! Stefan wouldn't let this happen." Bonnie was so sure of this. Katherine was known to be unpredictable. Stefan not so much. If they're pointing fingers then Katherine it is.

"Well actually..." Stefan trailed off, his hand scratching the back of his head nervously. "It wasn't really anyone's fault. They just came here after we told them to stay at Katherine's, took down Klaus' army of vampires and hybrids, told them that Caroline is dead, desiccated us, drained their witches, demanded that Klaus give them their blood - which he did - and ran off and my best guess would be to kill Tyler."

"Bloody hell! Them kids are going to be the death of us," Enzo said. "Let me just say, Gorgeous would not be happy." Klaus perked his head up at the nickname. He was seething as he looked at the unknown man wondering whether or not he was significant in Caroline's life.

"No she probably isn't." Katherine pointed out the obvious.

Everyone started to talk over themselves trying to figure out how to stop the twins. It's not that they didn't want Tyler dead - because they did - they didn't want them to lose themselves in the process. They all conversed with each other but could barely make out what each other were saying. Some were wondering where Tyler was, some wanted to find the twins before they went on a killing spree or something to the same degree, some just were plain confused and asking pointless questions.

"SHUT UP!" Kol shouted. Everyone turned to look at him. "What? We need to come up with a plan," he shrugged. It was true. No one was getting anywhere the way they were all going.

Suddenly there was a shift, it was small but everyone felt it. The witches in the room, even the ones with no magic, could feel that this was strong magic. What was going on?

"How the hell am I supposed to stop them when I'm dead?" A blonde woman snapped at someone who no one else could see. This was confusing. Everyone stared at her dazed. Gasps were heard across the room as those who knew the figure were in shock. The woman however, had no clue that they were staring at her as she had just appeared out of nowhere. "Yeah like that's gonna work! I can't believe we left them in the hands of these idiots. It's been nearly two weeks and they've already lost them!" She snapped again at the unknown figure.

"Caroline?" Rebekah choked out. Clearly she was the only one who could manage speech.

"You're dead," Hope exclaimed. Again, what was going on?

Her head moved so fast it's surprising she didn't snap her own neck in the process. "You can see me?" She looked at her and Rebekah nodded in response. "How can they see me?" She turned to the invisible figure once again. "What do you mean you don't know? You're useless." She scoffed after a pause clearly not satisfied with the response given as everyone looked at her like she was crazy.

Caroline looked at her friends who were looking at her with shocked expressions on their faces. If it was any other situation Caroline would've burst out laughing. But this wasn't the case. She had been watching over her friends ever since Tyler had taken her life. She broke down as she saw her children finding her corpse, seeing them attend her family and talk to her but she couldn't reply no matter how loud she shouted. Caroline would never speak to her children again. Never hold them. Never say goodbye. Never really with them.

"You're here!" Katherine screamed and ran to her formerly dead friend. As did Bonnie once she had recovered. They hugged her and finally let her go after what seemed like forever. Elena wasn't here but Caroline would take what she could get. Caroline wishes that her babies were here. But since she didn't know how to control whatever it was that was happening she would settle for seeing the rest of her family.

Rebekah looked at them longingly, not that anyone noticed. She always wanted a friendship like that. Even Katherine Pierce got a friendship like that! How was that fair? It wasn't, it was cruel. Rebekah had tried with Hayley but they were too different, the only thing they agreed on was annoying the boys in the family.

"Care, how I've missed you!" Stefan said embracing her in a hug. He breathed her in one last time knowing this wouldn't last. How they all wished it would.

"Shove over Salvatore." Enzo pushed Stefan lightly to get him out the way. "Gorgeous!" Klaus inwardly growled at the nickname. Maybe this was her boyfriend.

Caroline returned the hug but then playfully punched him. "What's that for?" He complained rubbing his arm. Caroline just rolled her eyes at his dramatics. Or maybe not.

"Hello Caroline," Klaus smiled looking at Caroline. "It's been a while, love." This smile was reserved only for Caroline. The boyish dimples showing as he too, looked at her for one last time. He wished he didn't have to see her so he could see exactly what he had lost. His eyes showed the guilt over her death. She gave him a small nod as if to say it wasn't his fault. No one seemed to understand what was happening but everyone who knew them, knew that they had a, if not slightly weird, connection. They understood each other.

"Well I did die so. I hoped it would be longer though," Caroline stated playfully. Klaus couldn't help but smile more since he had thought he would never see Caroline again. Yes he did go nearly 2 decades without seeing her but he knew that he could. That she was happy. Knowing that she's dead and he can never see her again? That hurt. He just wanted to reach out and touch her, see if she's real. Hold her in his arms one last time and tell her he's sorry. That he's sorry that she didn't have longer and that he didn't give her everything that he promised.

"You're kidding!" She exclaimed seeming to talk to the ghost again. "Looks like I have limited time on this side." Caroline shook her head as she was telling them.

"You can't leave we just got you back!" Katherine whined. Typical Katherine. Never content with what she had. Well at least that's how it came across.

"Sorry Kat! I just need you to find out where Ella and Cameron are and stop them before they do anything they regret."

"Already ahead of you, darling," Enzo smirked. Klaus was really going to punch this guy. Gorgeous? Darling? Is he seriously flirting with a dead girl? His girl?

"They can take you down but they won't kill you guys 'cos you're family. The Mikaelson's can't be killed that easily but the rest are in danger. Calm them down. Get rid of their anger." Caroline was speaking fast but they needed to hear what she had to say. None of them were really prepared because when mad the twins listened to no one. Except Caroline that is.

"It's harder than it looks, Care Bear!" Katherine snapped. The nickname started out as a joke but after a while it stuck. It mainly came out when Katherine was pissed. Exhibit A: Right now.

"No it's not. Just tell them I don't want them to do this. That they don't have to kill Tyler for me.

"Caroline you're starting to fade away. What's happening?" Stefan looked at his friend in panic. He wasn't ready to lose her again. Hell, none of them were.

"Silas said I can't stay on this side. His magic isn't that powerful to balance between the living and the dead." She turned once more, "yes I get it!" She snapped at him and turned back to her friends. "Just save them okay! From themselves."

"Silas?" Kol asked.

"Still has some magic. But not as powerful. I'm slipping guys," Caroline said as she faded in and out. "I'm sorry I can't help. I love you guys and make sure the twins know I'm still looking out for them. I'm still there for them."

Tears were slipping down her face as it was like she was losing them all over again. Bonnie was tearing up, as were the rest of them but they refused to let them fall. Caroline was dead. They knew that. It's not like they didn't attend her funeral or anything. They saw her corpse and they said goodbye. So then why is it so hard to let her go again? They knew why. Seeing Caroline again was like the last nail in the coffin. They would never see her again, this was it. Always together but never able to see each other. And seeing Caroline starting to cry as she was leaving, and they knew that they would truly lose her. And they weren't ready for that. Not really. It was easy to pretend, hide behind a mask, saying that everything was all right. But everything will never be the same.

Caroline then faded away from view. They all stood dumbfounded still processing what just happened.

Bonnie got to work on a locator spell and Katherine went over to help her. They had to fill their time with meaningless tasks to forget the pain that Caroline had left behind. She is still with them. But she isn't.

"I thought Silas wanted to die a human. How is he on the other side?" Kol finally said filling in the silence. He was still confused as to what role that he played in everything.

"Turns out his One True Love Amara was a doppelganger. Like me. So when she died she went to the Other Side. Silas was also a doppelganger. Like Stefan. Since he was a warlock Other Side it was," Katherine explained stopping to look at Kol as she spoke but then got straight to work.

"Stefan is a doppelganger?" Rebekah blurt out. Mystic Falls is so weird.

"Yeah. Turns out Tatia wasn't the Original Doppelganger. Amara was. Cute but crazy. Even though the Petrova line hasn't continued or the Salvatore line there will still be doppelgangers since nature has to restore the balance by having a version of Silas and Amara that can die. Their dead now but still. Doppelgänger blood is really special and I'm thinking Esther knew that when she did the spell. Tatia wasn't a random choice or a targeted one just unfortunate to be a Petrova Doppelganger," Katherine waved her hand around nonchalantly.

"Since when were you an expert on all things supernatural?" Kol smirked.

"Since I am all things supernatural. I'm a doppelgänger, former traveller, a centuries old vampire, took the cure, became human for a month and managed to become friends with Caroline and along with that the Mystic Falls gang. You'd be surprised at what she managed to get out of Silas."

"I still can't believe Caroline became friends with the most powerful man on earth. And then gave birth to the most powerful beings on earth. Certainly gives you a run for your money Nik," Rebekah said.

"What do you mean?" Klaus knew that he would regret it but asked anyway.

"Well you always considered yourself an expert in all things evil. Clearly you're not, Caroline is. And then Hope. Thought to be the most powerful tribrid on earth and then Caroline one ups you by having not one but two powerful supernatural children. No offence to you Hope but they are a lot more powerful."

Klaus growled and Hope just shrugged her shoulders admitting what her aunt was saying was correct.

"There's something you guys need to know," Bonnie started off. They all looked at her and time stood still. Whatever she was going to say would change everything.


Sorry for the long wait! Hope you liked it? Was that cliffhanger too mean? Caroline was in this chapter but no proper Klaroline.

What will happen next? Do you think the twins will succeed? Or will they be found first? Tell me what you think and any criticism is welcome! Give me love or hate.

And to the Guest who didn't like that Caroline is dead, if you're still reading, did you like the mini Caroline scene?

Again, much love to everyone. Follow me on Tumblr imtired24-7
