the familiar happened. we floated up as the colorful sand flew around us. i watched as the time faded away and a new one replaced it. i saw bonnie passing out but when i focused on where we were i dropped our bags and i hurled bonnie ontop of me. we were falling from the sky.

i seen a lake not far away, when we fell far enough i used all the strength i could muster up to fling me and bonnie into the water by pushing us against a tree instead of smashing to the ground. id recover from that kind of impact, bonnie wouldnt.

i heard the tree crack under my force and fall away as we slammed into the water. i still held bonnie above me incase the floor of the lake wasnt deep. as soon as we started floating back up i flashed us up faster since bonnie had passed out like usual.

as soon as we surfaced bonnie coughed out water. i heard her heart beating fastly. she turned and looked at me as i started swiming us to the land ignoring the pain i felt and i ignored the feeling of seaweed, which i thought was weird.

i always pictured seaweed as arms trying to wrap their hands around us and pull us under. i controlled my paranoria as i swam faster.

i saw bonnies duffle hanging from a tree and mine in the water. klaus had landed with a branch in his side while henrik landed in the tree at the top. i saw him clinging to the branch before he let go and caught a few more branches on his way down.

henrik landed beside klaus as he grabbed the branch from out his side. klaus lifted his shirt up and watched as his skin healed itself. henrik watched fascinated.

we were now walking on the land toward them. i felt my shoulder dislocated from the impact of the tree. i felt a few splinters also i closed my eyes as i focused on bonnie beside me.

"are you okay?" i asked bonnie she looked at me nodding.

"yeah thanks care. are you?" she looked me over and i smiled lightly

"i will be." i said as we were closer now. henrik helped klaus up and i walked over to him. i felt my arm trying to heal iself but it was in the wrong place.

i moved my hair to the side and took my arm out the sleeve wincing as i lowered my dress to under my arm. i grabbed some of the splinters.

"klaus i need your help" i said and he walked over "its dislocated"

"this is going to hurt, love." he said looking at the blackening bruise that showed up immediately.

"yeah well it already does. i can feel myself trying to heal it in its place." i said taking a deep breath.

"henrik hold her hands" klaus instructed henrik and he does as asked bonnie stood there and watched.

klaus put his hands on my shoulder lightly. "on three" he said.

"just do it klaus" i closed my eyes as he started counting. then there was a crack. i bite back the scream and winced. i felt my body heal itself the right way and let go of henriks hands as i opened my eyes he was shaking his hands. "sorry " i said as i moved my arm again. i put my arm back through the sleeve.

"its fine care" he said flexing his fingers, i turned and looked at klaus.

"thank you" i said and walked over to grab bonnies bag from the tree branch. my arm was still sore so i put it on my good shoulder. i set it down at the edge of the water as i seen my bag floating out further. i sighed and jumped back in the water after it.

i ignored the seaweed again as i went further out to retrieve my bag and back. i got back out freshly dripping again. i ringed my hair and dress out as i bent down to grab both bags again.

i looked up as i walked back to bonnie and i seen another castle. there was water around the outside of the guardwall and a bridge to get in. on the corners of the wall were tower like rooms. i assume its for when it was under attack.

the castle was inside the guard wall. i dont know how long i stood there gaping at this castle, it had an old stone church-like feel. it was bigger than the castle we were just staying in. it had high towers like in fairytales.

i felt a pressure release from my shoulder and i nearly toppled over. i saw klaus grab bonnies bag and catch my arm at the same time.

"you look distracted" he said noticing.

i pointed up to the castle and he followed my eyeline "can you blame me?" i asked.

i heard him chuckle. "i see you like my castle"

"how many do you have geez?"i asked.

" where are we anyways?" bonnie asked.

"we're in london, 1514. i cant remember where me and my siblings were at this time, i think they are here in england some where as well. i wasnt in the best of moods at the time, century really" klaus said as we walked closer to the castle.

"why? what had you in a mood" i asked.

"katerina about two decades ago" klaus said and i rolled my eyes.

"i remember the stories" i said moving my arm in a circle again. i rolled my eyes thinking of katherine.

"you dont have the best luck with dopplegangers, well except elena" klaus said smiling. i glared at him.

"right back at you klaus" i said and walked through the doors of the castle. there was nobody in the castle. i could see the fog coming from bonnie as she breathed.

"Touchée" klaus showed us to our rooms and i made a fire in the fireplace in bonnies room.

i walked down the hall to my room. as soon as i closed the bedroom door i started stripping out of the dress i was in. i took the god awful dress off and started the fire. i threw the dress in the fire and watched as it caught.

i went to my bag and pulled on some shorts, dry underwear, and a tank top.i didnt even bother brushing my hair, i threw it up in a bun and burned the underwear i had on in the fire. there was no way i was chancing bringing the plague here with me.

i grabbed a stick from the fire that was lite at the end and walked around the room. i seen a dresser filled with white candles on the surface. i lite them and the room lite up. when we get back to the days with light bulbs im bound to be annoyed with the fake light now that im used to candle light.

the room was huge. there are rugs all over and an even bigger bed than what was at the last castle. the bed had a large red sheer canopy around it. the wooden bed has intracate carvings in it. there was bright white blankets and large red and gold pillows on the bed.

there was trunks around the room along with arm chairs and small stands and a large mirror with a gold design as the frame. theres a large wardrobe sitting next to a large blanket looking flag on the wall that had the same monogram as what was on the gate at klaus' previous castle in france.

the walls are red with a golden decal design. i looked around and i decided i really loved this room, especially after i seen the vanity.

i walked over to the wardrobe and looked through it. there were a bunch of very pretty dresses and the corsetdress things that go under them. there was sheer, lace, and silk night gowns hanging in it as well.

i wonder whose room this was, rebekah perhaps?

i listened around the house and heard everyone either in bed or getting ready. i pulled my hair down from the bun and brushed it out.

my hair was a little past my hips...it was too much. i saw some scissors on the vanity next to the brush that was there. i grabbed the comb and stood infront of the mirror.

i pictured where i wanted my shortest link for now. i ended up cutting my hair to right under my breasts with layers from my shoulders down.

i shook my hair out as it dried in curly ringlets. i cleaned up my mess and grabbed the pillow off the bed. i walked over to the fireplace and sat down. the clothes had completely burned and was now just ash. i sat and watched as the fire licked away at the wood.

i bet if i moved my eyes away from the flame i would see an orange spot. the only thing i saw in the flames was the boy, caleb from france. how he looked at me and how i sat there not being able to help him.

i rubbed my shoulder as i pulled my legs up to my chest and sat on the pillow. i felt my features change and i rested my head on my knees breathing evenly. i heard even breathing around the house.

i eventually fell asleep by the fire.
