Elena ran over to Caroline to help her. She pulled her away from the door where Rebekah was standing. Stefan removed the stake from Caroline who let out a cry. Damon walked over to the door, "Beks why don't you just go home?" He said with a grin on his face. Rebekah smiled and started to walk the opposite way, but then threw the stake full force into Damon's stomach.

"You will all suffer." Rebekah walked into the distance, while Stefan and Elena huddle to Damon.

"You guys need to leave." Caroline told everyone. "Rebekah is on some psycho revenge rampage! I'll stay here and deal with her." Damon was the first to grab Elena and force her out the back door, making Stefan follow. Bonnie decided to stay with Caroline. The two watched the outdoors like hawks, but it was hard to see since it was dark. Caroline noticed she saw a shadow in the light far to the east, but then saw Rebekah coming from the right holding what looked like a torch.

"Who is that?" Bonnie questioned. The two looked and tried to make out who the shadow in the distance was. "Is that?"

"Tyler?" Caroline gasped.

"Well what a surprise, get I won't be needing this." Rebekah sped traveled to the porch and threw down a flaming newspaper. Rebekah smiled and turned her back to the girls to make a run to her new pray. Caroline darted after her and Bonnie tried to run too. "Well hello there little hybrid." Rebekah teased and put Tyler in a headlock. Caroline made it to them to be facing them.

"Let him go!" Caroline said sternly. The two girls held death glares with each other. "I know its me you want to kill, so just leave my friends alone." Caroline was ready to fight, she would do anything to protect her friends and was on an emotional unbalance.

.,.,.

Meanwhile, Elijah started to arrange Klaus's coffin. He cleaned up the broken armoires and the glass from the window. He made himself a glass of red wine laced with blood and looked out the window. He stared at the glistening moon and started to reminiscence about times with his family. He took a sip, but then froze when heard a gasp from behind him. He turned around quickly, "Niklaus?"

Klaus was gasping for air, and kept his hand covering his mouth. He coughed continuously and vigorously. He was heavily breathing and looked over to his brother, "Elijah. What happened?" Elijah rushed to his side and tossed him a blood bag that was on the side. Klaus ripped off the top and drank it almost in an instance.

Elijah gulped down the rest of his wine, "Brother, you're suppose to be dead." Klaus just gave Elijah a look that read 'I know'. Elijah had a worried look on his face that Klaus noticed.

Klaus looked around the room and noticed the broken window. "Where's Caroline?"

"It seems are younger siblings have a thing for vengeance. They think you're dead Niklaus." Elijah said in the most sincere way possible. Klaus reached into his pocket, and pulled out his cell phone. He dialed Caroline's number and heard the ringing come from his bed stand, he hung up instantly and angrily swore. He tried to call Rebekah and got no answer, and when he tried to call Kol he also got no answer. Klaus was still weak, but with his rage he tossed his phone out the window and yelled. "Brother you're still weak, it may not be in your best interest to-"

"I must go." Klaus rolled out of his bed, and went to stand but toppled over. If Elijah wasn't there Klaus would have definitely fell to the floor.

"Niklaus I will help you, just calm down." Elijah helped Klaus regain his balance.

"I will have not gone through this hell to have Rebekah kill her out of vengeance. We need to hurry." Klaus told Elijah with all seriousness. He took a breath and then sped out of his room, Elijah reluctantly followed.

.,.,.

"Its not like you care for this boy anyways." Rebekah taunted Caroline. She smiled and tightened her grip around Tyler's neck. "Why don't you tell him, after all he is your boyfriend." She continued to tease.

"I said let him go!" Rebekah frowned and raised her brows. She then smiled and snapped his neck. Caroline covered her mouth and Bonnie finally made it over to them.

"Sadly, he'll never wake up since you killed my brother!" Her tone raised as the sentence went on. She forcefully pushed Bonnie to the ground and grabbed Caroline by the throat. Caroline looked down at an unconscious Bonnie and 'dead' Tyler. With all her strength she twisted Rebekah's wrist and threw her to the side to run. She hoped Rebekah would follow, which she did, to lead her away from her friends. Caroline ran to the woods and hid inside her favorite tomb. She could hear Rebekah nearby, "Oh Caroline, where are you hiding?" Caroline held her breath and plastered herself against the wall.

.,.,.

Klaus and Elijah made it to Elena's home. They immediately noticed the door was open, but no one was home. Elijah nudged Klaus when he noticed the two bodies under the light post. The two blurred over and walked around Bonnie and Tyler. Elijah helped Bonnie come back to a conscious state and Klaus used his foot to flip over Tyler. Bonnie kept her hand on her head, and Elijah helped her up. He offered her blood to heal any unknown wounds, but she flat out rejected the offer. She noticed the blurry figure now kneeling down to check on Tyler. It didn't register to her that was Klaus. Klaus stood back up after confirming Tyler was 'dead', and turned around. It was like a slow motion scene for Bonnie when she realized who was standing there. "It worked." She said quietly and both of them looked at her with furrowed brows.

"Bonnie love, where is Caroline?" Klaus got close to Bonnie, but she was completely out of it.

"I don't know. I just remember her snapping Tyler's neck and then it goes blank." Bonnie admitted. Klaus sighed and shook his head 'no'.

"Go find her, I'll stay with Bonnie and Tyler." Elijah said with a noble tone. Klaus nodded and sped off to the woods where he was guaranteed he would find her. "Bonnie, may I ask, but where is Elena?"

Bonnie shook her head 'no' while looking at Tyler, "Um, I don't know, with Damon and Stefan." Elijah scoffed; he knew that wasn't a good idea. Kol was still out there trying to help out distraught Rebekah.

.,.,.

"Caroline don't you want to know if your friends are safe? I know my brother Kol is probably taking great care of the Salvatores and that dear doppelganger." Rebekah said in an attempt to lure Caroline out. It did, Caroline darted out and knocked Rebekah into a tree. Rebekah quickly sped around and twisted Caroline's arm to be behind her while she used her other arm to push her to the floor. Caroline rolled in the dirt, and dodged when Rebekah went to kick her. She then hit Rebekah in her ankles flipping her to fall on her back. Caroline got up and ran further into the woods, but Rebekah was still trailing nearby.

While the two were chasing each other, Klaus just made it to the tome. He could smell both of their scents and noticed the natural ground had been disturbed. He called out both of their names, which they disregarded thinking it was their imagination.

"Rebekah please stop, Klaus wouldn't want-" Caroline started to please as Rebekah charged toward her.

Rebekah grabbed onto Caroline's neck again and slapped her across the face. "My brother is dead because of you! He was my best friend and closest family!" Her grip tightened and Caroline being literally being strong headed, bashed her forehead against Rebekah's stunning both of them.

Klaus was getting closer; he could hear their voices.

"I loved him too Rebekah." Caroline admitted, but that only seemed to make Rebekah angrier.

She broke a sharp branch off a nearby tree and backhanded Caroline. She picked her up and pinned her against a tree, sinking her nails into her neck. Rebekah had tears streaming down her face, "I love my brother, always and forever. For a thousand years he was the only one who never left me, and because of you he's gone!" She slammed Caroline against the tree one more time and raised the stake. "Its time for you to suffer." Caroline tried to knock Rebekah off, but she had a stronger grip. Caroline watched in horror as she saw the stake being forcefully moved towards her.

"No!" A familiar voice said from behind, but it was too late by then. Rebekah already jammed the stake through Caroline's chest. She couldn't stop herself from inflicting the pain, but she didn't make it lethal because she knew whose voice it was. Before she could turn around to say anything she was pulled off and pushed to the ground. Klaus carefully, but quickly removed the stake from Caroline and let her fall into his arms. He sat his back against the tree and cradled Caroline.

"Brother you're-" Rebekah sat up and had tears flowing down her face. She was overwhelmed that her brother was still live, but even more beleaguered that he cared more for Caroline than her.

Klaus caressed Caroline's face, "How could you Rebekah?" Klaus noticed that Caroline wasn't turning gray.

"I didn't, no matter how much I wanted to, I couldn't." Rebekah wiped her tears, "Even though I heard you I never intended to kill her, only make her suffer." She told her brother in an honest tone.

Klaus closed his eyes in relief, and smiled when he heard Caroline start to regain her consciousness. Klaus moved a few blonde hair curls out of her face, and locked eyes with her blurry ones. "Thank you sweetheart."

Note: Sorry for bad grammar, need to be revised!

Hands down this is the best day I can ever remember,
I'll always remember the sound of the stereo,
the dim of the soft lights,
the scent of your hair that you twirled in your fingers
and the time on the clock when we realized it's so late
and this walk that we shared together.
The streets were wet
and the gate was locked so I jumped it,
and I let you in.
And you stood at your door with your hands on my waist
and you kissed me like you meant it.
And I knew that you meant it
