I do not own any of the characters


"So, tell me Enzo, how long have you known Caroline?" Rebekah inquired, having brought them back to her apartment.

She held up a bottle and at his nod poured them both a glass before she sat on the chair opposite him, leaving his glass on the arm of his chair as she passed.

"I've known Caroline since 1958," He swished the whiskey around in his glass, a far away look entering his eye's. "I thought her at first my imagination, trying to make me fear death a little less."

Rebekah was intrigued, this man had the tongue of a storyteller. She found herself hung on each one and he'd only said a sentence. "She saved you!" His brown eye's glanced up at her for no more then a second before returning to the liquid in the glass.

"She did more then save me, she gave me a another chance at life." Enzo took another look at Rebekah. She reminded him slightly of Caroline, with her blond hair, blue eye's and pale skin, but that was were it ended. Rebekah's eye's did not hold the same light that Caroline's did, Rebekah didn't hold that spark of life that Caroline held, Rebekah reminded him oddly enough more of himself. 'Slightly broken, yet not completely unrepairable' as Caroline liked to say.

"Just from who did Caroline save you from?"

"From the fiery pit of hell itself and the demons who lived there." He nodded to where the fire burned. " She walked threw the flames to where it was I stood caged. Not even my own friend had stayed, yet Caroline came from out of nowhere. In one kick she'd managed to brake in the gate and had covered me in a cloak before leading me to safety." He nursed his drink.

Rebekah raised an eyebrow at the knowledge supplied. "I take it you got your revenge once Caroline fixed you up?"

She watched his eye's darken in a sinister way, she had seen Nik's and Kol's eye's take on such a sinister appearance many times.

"Caroline is not one for killing, but even she couldn't allow those monster to be left alive, least they pass on their idea's. I took care of most of them and Caroline made sure that none of the other's lived passed that night."

Caroline was no killer, but Rebekah knew that she'd never let anyone she deemed evil walk away, but then Caroline loved Kol. Rebekah considered Kol, one of the most evil people on the plant, along side Nik himself. "I take it, your not the first person that she's saved?"

Enzo grunted. "I'd never heard of Caroline before, not many have, but if you say her name to the right people! You can be sure that they'll have your back during any incidents that may occur while your together."

"Were any of them turned by her?" Rebekah questioned, never having come across another vampire who claimed to be turned by the other girl in her family.

Enzo thought for a moment before he answered. "Couldn't say. Whose your sire? Isn't a question people ask each other when they meet."

"So, back to Caroline. What else do you know about her?" Rebekah went make to the topic at hand.

Enzo grinned. "Caroline is a feisty piece a work, don't make them like her anymore."

"And what do you mean by that?" Rebekah asked, taking offence.

Enzo held but his hands in mock surrender. "Now, don't take it the wrong way, but I'm talking about the woman that came decades after you. You Original women," He leaned forward in his chair, looking so closely at Rebekah that she blushed. "You have a certain appeal that no woman born after your time has been graced with. You and Caroline, have beauty to which none can never be compared too."

The tongue of a storyteller and the tongue of a flirt. Rebekah smiled, she liked a man who could woo her with words.


Waking up the next morning, Kol couldn't help but lay and watch Caroline as she slept. It was something he always found himself doing when he woke up next to her, and when he'd have to leave her he'd find himself staring at the empty space where she was supposed to lay.

Seeing the time and knowing that the today was the day they'd be leaving, he untangling himself from her grasp and he left the warmth of their bed to make breakfast. He'd fought to have Caroline at his side for a thousand years and lately he'd felt he'd lost that right, but trust Caroline to never let him give up the fight. He always said that it was him who'd found Caroline, but really it had been been all her.

During one of the worst time's of his life, he almost turned his emotions off and then, there she'd been. She had walked out of the frost, bear foot, wearing a white dress. He'd almost took her for a fairy folk, when he first caught sight of her. She reached out to him and he'd fallen away, not wanting to touch something so pure. Then, she said his name and gently took his hand, he followed her and had never once looked back.

Caroline was his guiding light, whenever he was with her, he wanted to be a better man. A man that Caroline deserved. Once this was all over, he planned to get them both as far always from his siblings as possible. Caroline and him alone worked, he didn't need anyone other then her, and she'd made it clear that she felt the same. All in all, he was feeling good this morning.

Caroline some time later woke to the smell burning blood. Crawling from the bed, she made sure to put Kol,'s top on from yesterday so that she was covered. It didn't matter what era she lived in, she just couldn't bring herself to be naked outside of the comfort of their bed and she'd never risk anyone other then Kol seeing her without her clothes.

"Hm, Good morning." She said, placing a kiss on his cheek as he held out a cup of hot blood. She wondered where'd he'd got fresh blood, but then thought it must have been from one of the neighbours.

"Morning." He replied, letting his hand reach off to brush against her back as she walked around the counter to take a seat in front of him. "So, we've got less then an hour. You sure that this plan is full proof?"

"If I didn't know any better, I'd say you were doubting the plan?" There was a certain twinkle in her eye's that showed him, that she was playing with him.

"Me, never." He mocked, reaching across to hold her hand in his. "After this it's you and me."

"Is that a promise?" She asked, letting her fingers intertwine with his. "Because you know, I'll hold you too it."

"It's a promise, one I don't intend to let anyone break."

Leaning across the counter Caroline let her lips brush tenderly against his own. "Good."


"She did what?" Rebekah laughed, as Enzo informed her of the time Caroline and him had joined the circus.

"I tell you it's the truth," It was some hours since they had first arrived at the apartment and they been talking back and forth about their experiences with Caroline. "You should have seen her when she woke up."

The empty bottles of alcohol lined the floor between them. "Well I imagine being kidnapped by clowns wasn't on her to do list." Rebekah snorted in amusement.

"She did alright, you know Caroline always willing to help just about anyone." He took a swing from the bottle he'd traded his glass for and relaxed further into the chair. "I think it was the animals she was more interested in helping."

"Yeah, Caroline always did have a soft spot for animals of all kinds."

Enzo hummed in agreement. "The elephants took a shine to her. She even took to sleeping in with them, rather then with the other girls in the tents." He disclosed.

"Doesn't surprise me, we used to find her and Henrik sleeping with the horses in the barn." She reminisced before realising what she had said, she found herself quieting now in the brighting room.

"This brother of yours, Kol." Enzo spoke, not mentioning the drop of the unknown name. He could tell that it wasn't his business to know. "Caroline calls him the wild card, what's he like?"

Rebekah was glad for the new topic, she didn't wish to speak about Henrik to anyone other then Caroline. She felt like Caroline was the only one who could understand the pain she still felt a the loss of her brother, but her pain northing compared what Caroline had to live with.

"Kol," She began, picturing the smirking face of Kol in her mind, then looked to stare Enzo straight in the eye's. "He's exactly what Caroline said he was, he's the wild card and I don't know what he's like when he's with Caroline, but when their apart, he's a monster."

"Those are some pretty strong words."

"Kol cares nothing about life. He's killed more people then myself and my other brothers combined. I wonder what it is Caroline sees in him?"

"Seems to me you've only seen one side of him."

"What?"

Enzo pondered on the thought for a second. "Well, you said it yourself, you don't know what he's like when the two are together. They were here for a couple of hours, weren't they?" She nodded. "So, what was he like when you could see them together?"

"He was," Rebekah paused thinking about the little time she had seen them together. "my big brother again. It was like he'd been hiding all this time, but next to Caroline, he reminded me of the person he'd once been."

"It obvious to me from what Caroline's told me about him, that she loves him very much. When the two are together Caroline seems to live and when their apart, she just seems to drift threw life, waiting for him to come back to her."

"They really love each other." Rebekah could see now just how much the two meant to one another. Even though Kol had never mentioned Caroline once, he always ran off at the first chance. Seeing the two of them together made her wish that she could feel a little of what they felt.

"That hybrid brother of yours," Enzo cut off her dreaming. "He's been after Caroline for a long time. What do you think will happen now that he knows what's been going on?"

Rebekah stared into her glass. "Nik doesn't know when he's lost, he'll chase them across the world if he has too. He wont let them be together."

Enzo took a swung then dropped the empty bottle as he climbed to his feet. "If that's the case, then I best be off."

"What? Where are you going?" Rebekah asked also climbing to her feet trying to avoid the many bottles scatter around the floor.

Enzo swung his jacket over his shoulder as he made his way to the door. "I'm going to find Caroline and warn her, before your brother finds them." He told opening the door.

"Your too late!" Enzo paused and turned to look back at her. "He's already found them."
