Sorry I haven't updated! Hopefully the end of this chapter will help. :)

"Aren't you gonna ask where I've been lately? What I've been up to. It seems as though Klaus is now the favorite," Kol asked taking a sip of wine from the bottle he stole out of the guest refrigerator. Smiling as Rebekah gave him the evil eye while Elijah got the car ready to head down to the castle where Caroline would be having her wedding.

Rebekah laughed heartily taking the bottle from his hands, "We thought it was just another one of those women you're ashamed of," she tells him before chugging the wine. "Besides, Nik has always been my favorite." She squeaks when she heard the clicking of her mother's heels heading in their direction she quickly spit up the drink back in the bottle.

Esther walks in at that moment a disapproving look on her face at seeing her daughter drinking on the job, "Is this how I raised you? To drink in the middle of the day honestly Rebekah what would your father say?" she asked her daughter crossing her arms.

"Something along the lines of, pretend to care, pretend to care while rubbing his temples." Rebekah mumbles from behind the bottle standing up as Kol chuckles next to her.

He places an arm around her shoulders squeezing her closer to him, "She's right about that one," he say loudly in her ear making her smile and grimace at their sibling bonding.

Elijah walks in just in time to agree with his younger siblings forcing Esther to retreat into her office, "Just make sure Caroline tells him how she feels," are her parting words.

Elijah nods looking at both of his siblings, "Kol is that what you're wearing to this," he asks looking at the green t-shirt and dark wash jeans his younger brother donned.

"Something wrong with it," Kol asked taking the bottle from Rebekah and finishing off half as his brother shook his head at him. "I'm supposed to be a tour guide through the woods, you want me to wear a suit?" he really didn't want to wear a suit but the way his brother looked at him he knew he would.

"You could at least try to look professional, it's a wedding rehearsal." Elijah replied as if it was the most obvious thing in the world to do. "Look presentable, Caroline will be there, so will Niklaus. We need to be united and help him through tonight." he agreed though he would never admit it out loud plus he looked good in a suit.

"And you think me wearing a suit will ensure that this Caroline stay with him," Kol asked wondering what kind of magic a suit would need to have to work like that. He did however cave soon after Rebekah came back into the room with black slacks and a button up shirt with rolled up sleeves. "That could work," he mumbles.

Caroline shuts her eyes as soon as she realizes how close they are to the castle she was supposed to get married in tomorrow. "Correction will be getting married in," she thinks as her hand scrunched her dress from the nerves she feels his hand come over hers gently reassuring her. A small smile escapes her lips as her right eye opens a bit sneaking a glance at him.

She's just kissed him and he's trying to make her feel better about getting married to some other guy, whoa, Tyler isn't some other guy. Her head hurts suddenly making her whimper as she quickly pulls her hand from his and places it over his on her lap. Not helpful when she feels the callous of his fingers hit her bare thigh goose bumps leaving a trail up her body she would under other circumstances want his fingers to follow.

He hits a bump on the old pavement making her grunt as her head hits the window pulling her away from the entertaining notions of what his hands might do. "Ow, watch the pot holes Klaus! I'm getting married tomorrow and i don't need bruises." Caroline whines fixing her hair as his hand reaches back towards the wheel far away from her.

Klaus rolls his eyes at her dramatics looking over at her he smiles thinking of all the marks he placed on her the night before sure to stay with her for sometime. He says, "Was that it? I thought the earth moved," winking as the laughter danced wickedly through his pupils making her begrudgingly smile. "I'm gonna miss that smile," he murmurs looking straight ahead so low he's sure she didn't hear him.

At the castle it looks as though the people are running around in hysterics setting up large white tents in the front yard the wind picking up by the minute. When Klaus pulls into the drive he steps around to let Caroline out a worried look imprinted on her beautiful face her hair flying as a gust of wind comes and goes. The night sky already grey from earlier might worry her but to him it was normal. Just as she places her hand in his to lift her up he hears footsteps behind him.

Tyler he presumes shutting the door as Caroline shrugs at him Tyler pulling her as close to his body as he can get her. Klaus feels every vein light up in flames taking that force and shoving the car door closed ensuring that their attention be on him and not each other. Caroline immediately pulls back as Carol and Vicky step forward uneasily waving hello to him once again. Two other men joining them one being Stefan his little sister's boyfriend.

Stefan subtly nods because he's there for intel not a party trying not to get his investigative cover blown which benefits Klaus. "Mason," the other man says, Klaus nods shaking his hand, "Klaus, a pleasure. Are you the groom," he asks riling up Caroline.

"Ha ha no, that'd be my cousin over here. But he's one lucky bastard." Mason says shaking Tyler with a hand on his shoulder as Tyler and Vicki look on awkwardly. "Right, must've slipped my mind since this morning, a lot's happened." He says his eyes solely on Caroline making her blush and look away.

"Yet you Never seem to explain who you are," Carol replies stepping forward like she's been part of the conversation all along her hands up and at her sides looking at him like a piece of meat. He barely manages to contain his hostility at her intrusion, "Yes, well I-" Caroline cuts him off shoving a hand in his chest.

"Klaus is just a good guy helping out a damsel in distress, right?" she looks up at him her eyes pleading but he's not going to let her win so easily now. He places a hand over hers moving it up towards his mouth where he plants a kiss on her fingers.

"We share a more profound bond than that Love, why don't you tell them." he says loving the way her eyes narrow at him. She tries to pull her hand away from his grasp but he holds on tighter pulling her to him making sure that they can all see their matching rings.

Caroline watches in slow motion as each pair of eyes zero in on their entwined hands. He kisses her cheek, "See it was easier to tell them than you thought." He steps around her still grinning. She's gonna seriously maim him.

Klaus pulls out his most confident walk his hand reaching out for Tyler's and he's almost sick to his stomach when Tyler takes it in his own. "I'm sorry I didn't get to meet you sooner Tyler. I'm quite particular with the men my wife chooses to marry." Klaus remarks his eyes serious but his tone light.

He steps back giving the girls his most brilliant of smiles until he sees the tension melt off of their faces enjoying the looks Tyler and Mason give Vicki when her attention is fixed on him. Klaus feels Caroline penetrating glare shift from him to Vicki and he smiles inwardly at one won battle as he cradles her in his arms once more.

"We should get inside, it's going to rain soon," Stefan says to the group hoping to pull them away from the weird moment they seem to be witnessing. They all seem to agree walking close together Caroline in between Tyler and Klaus while Vicki looks on venom within her eyes. Stefan isn't sure they'll make it out of the castle alive.
