The Sequel is a go... I currently have two plots so we'll see which wins. More notes at the bottom...
Pulling her phone from her purse she cursed it, the battery was dead there was no way she would get her mother in her bedroom fast enough. She had to know what was happening and her mother knew all about why Tyler was acting strange.
He had been for a long time and she was too bus planning their future to realize she didn't want it anymore. They didn't want it. She sped up trying to get there faster narrowly missing a mud puddle that would have messed up her tires making her skid and crash.
Slamming on her breaks another image passed of the wedding night. Klaus carrying her up the steps in Elijah's home. His mouth halting over her own as he tried to get their guest room door open, she laughed an 'I love you' before aiding him swinging the door open.
"What would I do without you Mrs. Mikaelson," he murmured against her lips his smile warming her heart even now. She tugged him lower with her hands wrapped around his neck kissing his soft lips.
"You never need to know," she said her words filled with love and appreciation for the man she had just found to love her for all eternity. He placed her down on the ground, "We should drink to this. To us," Caroline told him as his arms came around her waist.
His eyebrows quirked and she knew what he was thinking, "No we haven't had too much, I'm sure your brother has something in here to help us celebrate." Caroline said batting her eyelashes at him loving how he caved to her every whim.
He looked like he was think placing his index finger over his lips and smiling, "I think I've got just the thing," Klaus said pecking her lips and disappearing into a door she assumed was the closet. She tugged on the paper in the corset of her dress pulling it out she bit her lip looking at their license.
After that her speed came down even though she was still in a rush she would never drive like a mad woman again after the things Klaus has told her. Her breath was shaky and her heart was racing but she had to keep moving forward if she was going to figure anything out.
Upon seeing her wedding destination Caroline felt most of her energy drain from her body not that she had a whole lot after the taxing few hours she's had. She wiped her brow frowning at the guests in her way like cattle refusing to move from the middle of the road.
She parked in the front her back tires picking up the dirt and grass all around still wet from last night's rain fall. She stormed passed Klaus' siblings without any explanation as to why she was back here and alone no less. She didn't want to explain what happened because she didn't even know.
Klaus was letting her do this and that was enough for her to think she should go through with it and that was that. She couldn't track down anyone who could actually give her answers and it made her feel like shouldn't take a deep breath with the knots filling up her stomach. Where was everyone?
Each stair she climbed reminded her heart of the things she had done the day before but she refused to cry until she got to her room. Klaus and the waitress that's two steps, his knuckles hitting the wall four steps, anything and everything came to mind until she felt her knees almost buckle.
She shut her bedroom door slumping to the ground thankful only her mother was there to watch her cry as he emotions took over, "Mommy he…" she didn't finish her sentence. Instead she succumbed to the tears burning the backs of her eyes pulling her knees to her chest like a child afraid of a thunder storm.
Her mother stood from the vanity where she had been waiting for her daughter to come back though this wasn't what Liz had in mind. She nodded her head in understanding as she came over to her daughter sitting next to her. She realized this was the first time Caroline ever broke down in front of her over a man.
"I know sweetie," she rubbed her daughter's back understanding this was all she could do for her only daughter today. "It's going to be fine," she whispered assuring her daughter that one day it would be okay. Now more than ever she wanted to tell her daughter what made her hesitant to let her daughter marry Tyler.
Frowning she brushed the welt up tears in her daughter's eyes away, "What are you going to do now?" she asked carefully. Watching silently as her daughter's tears left her eyes slowly watching Caroline's heart break was almost too much.
Caroline sobbed, "Get married I guess," Liz didn't like that answer but she had to trust that Caroline would figure it out. She held her daughter cradling her back and forth until she was able to pull herself together.
Klaus groaned unbelieving at how much of a hold this woman has over him, she's getting married today and he's going after her. He's sent her away for Christ's sake and now he wants to take that decision back. What was wrong with him? The answer was easy. Her.
He hits the dash board in frustration at his actions, "Noble." He muttered to himself scoffing in disgust. He should have grabbed her and made her remember exactly whose arms she belonged in with or without her memory. He loved her anyway she would give to him. Knowing or unknowing.
He was going to storm in there and tell them all about Tyler Lockwood, there was no way he was going to let that man make a fool of his Caroline. She was his, no matter how many times they sent each other away they belonged together. In three days of know her he believed that.
When he got there he was going to kill Tyler and… his train of thought was lost as his car lost control on the road and began to roll down the hill. Flashbacks of his last day with Henrik hit him hard before he heard Caroline's light laughter her voice calling his name.
His car finally hit the end of the hill with a loud thump hanging upside down he watched with swollen lids as liquid poured down from God knows where. He struggled to stay focused on the one voice keeping him awake. "Caroline," he called before his eyes shut for him taking him to darkness.
The car behind him had seen the whole thing quickly running from his rental car and rushing as fast as he could without slipping to the bottom of the hill. He saw a blonde man inside the car trapped and unconscious before he started smelling the gas.
He pulled out his phone thankful his girlfriend had made him a list of all the crisis numbers to call if she disappeared on him while at her friend's wedding this weekend. He had flown out here to surprise her, "Hi this is Damon Salvatore, There's a guy on the side of the road."
Damon grimaced unsure of how to go about this situation, "I need help his car's flipped over and I smell a lot of gas." He gave his information and location hanging up soon after. "Caroline," the man murmured in his half asleep state.
Damon thought that whoever this woman was, she was keeping him from going completely unconscious so he had to motivate him to stay awake. "That's right man, Caroline's on her way," he said keeping his words vague. For all he knew that was his cousin or something. "Stay up, she wants to see you."
Carol entered Caroline's bedroom surprised to find Liz there but quickly recovered greeting her kindly though Liz saw right through it. "Save it. I don't know why she's going along with this but I know why you are." Carol scoffed at her remark.
"I don't know what you mean," she said waving a hand in the air, "When Caroline exits the shower call me." She moved to walk past the blonde but Liz grabbed her arm hauling her back to her spot then shoving the woman up against the bedroom wall where Caroline stood in the shower not three feet away.
"I did some checking, you're in the ruin. Tyler marrying Caroline is the only way to tap into your families trust." Liz watched Carol's face fall, "Embezzling doesn't look pretty on the face of Mystic Falls first family Carol. We both know your husband's dirty and I won't have you dragging Caroline into this."
"There's nothing you can do now. This is what she wants," Carol boils snatching her arm away from Liz's grasp, "Besides you can't prove any of this." she flipped her hair smiling. "Now why don't you make like a good mother of the bride and find our center pieces." Liz growled as Carol left the room.
Oblivious to the madness ensuing downstairs where the wedding would be held Carol and her son stood in the men's dressing room where Tyler and Mason were being dressed. "Everything's coming together Tyler," she sighed in contentment as she patted his broad shoulder.
"Can't say I agree on that mom," he said looking into the mirror trying to fix the type of bow Caroline had insisted he wear. It was suffocating him just like the sight of Vicki across the room fixing Mason's bow like they were the happiest couple. He boiled in jealousy making his bow tighter around his throat.
Carol looked into the mirror where her son was looking on grimacing in displeasure, "Marriage is a long business son," she looked at her own wedding band wishing her husband was there instead of bang his new secretary on his desk back home.
"Let's just get this over with," Tyler growled under his breath as Mason kissed Vicki, his Vicki but his mother held him back from storming over to them. "Don't go over there. They're happy as far as he knows," his mother warned as she placed her hands on his chest shaking her head at him.
Liz fumed as she went searching door to door and floor to floor for center pieces of all things when she didn't even know what they looked like. She quickly grabbed a few men from the set up crew and gave them instructions to help her soon they were found and she smiled walking to her daughter's room.
She walked into her daughter's room a box filled with some of the missing center pieces a few men following behind her with boxes filled with the rest. Caroline refrained from rolling her eyes at the normalcy of it all in such an odd situation. Leave it to her mother to command an army even so far away from home.
"They were in a room next to Tyler's," she said waving the men out of the room to go set them on the tables as she saw her daughter in her dress for the first time. A quiet sob left her lips as she thought about how awful it was that her daughter looked like an angel for a man that didn't truly deserve her.
They shared a quiet moment both of them understanding this was not meant to be a happy wedding for anyone but no one willing to admit it. Their mother daughter moment was ruined by a knock on the door. Vicki walked into the room soon afterwards her stiletto heels clicking on the old wood floors before coming to a stop next to Caroline.
She smiled when Elena came in soon after announcing Bonnie had gone missing again. She suspected Kol was to blame making Caroline smile sadly. She had grown to care for all the Mikaelson's in her own way after so little time. It made her think of who she was missing, her act cracking each moment.
"I feel like I've lost someone who wasn't even mine." Caroline tells them as Vicki as her wedding planner finally assists in something for her wedding. Elena grabs one of the center pieces from the last box in the room before one of the men come back to collect it stepping over to her friend smiling at her image in the mirror.
"These are pretty cute," she compliments Caroline but the blonde seems lost looking at the thing in her hands. Caroline now in her ivory colored dress hugging her frame just the same as it did every day before. She reaches out for the center piece from Elena's hand her own shaking as touches the lace on the side.
When was the last time she saw these? She falls to her knees her head as a pain sears through her just as she remembers everything that happened. She shuddered as the memories flew around her mind showcasing how Tyler cheated on her with Vicki and she just let it slide.
Of how she fell in love with Nik, how they met and how she was so irrevocably in love with Nik and she understood everything. Why he wouldn't say what was going on and just how incredible he was for putting up with the last few days. Most important of all he knew because she told him, trusted him.
"Oh god," she whimpers barely breathing as her chest heaved making her dress feel a little too tight as she recalled where their license was. She quickly looked over to the dress now hanging in her closet like a mother would to her child in an emergency. She had to get out of there shouted her fight or flight response.
Vicki bends down next to Caroline her face written with concern as she begins handing her a glass of water near the makeup counter. Elena is already trying to calm her but she isn't having any of it. Caroline clutches her fists in her hands wanting to tear the girl limb from limb after everything she's gone through n the last few months.
She looked into the mirror at her mother's reflection as the tears poured from her eyes anew and she knew her mother knew too. She had remembered, they all knew about it and hid it from her. They all made her feel guilty before coming here to marry him without reason until now. What was wrong with them?
"Caroline, are you alright?" her wedding planner asked worriedly. Caroline finally regained her mobility wiping her tears away, she was done with that. She grabbed the offered glass spilling its contents all over Vicki's head and dress then smashing it on the floor.
She always did have a flare for the dramatics. But right now she wanted to star in a Broadway musical. "You slut!" Caroline shouts at Vicki making the girl take a step back. Carol walks in just as the blonde begins pointing at them all, "You all knew that I knew and you didn't say a word?" she screeched.
"I have to find him," Caroline said calming down suddenly, she gathered her train and ran towards her closet taking her blue and white dress from the rack and some flats. She felt a hand snake around her arm before she yanked herself free. "Don't touch me," she didn't care who did it they all hurt her.
Kol and Stefan were currently implementing a plan which required them to drag the AV equipment out setting up the digital frames Caroline had asked for ages ago. The idea was to showcase photos of them as kids as she walked down the aisle for guests to see.
The youngest Mikaelson had come up with an equally genius plan to publicly reveal Tyler's indiscretions which Stefan had recorded. Stefan looked worried but Kol shook it off excitedly, "Don't worry Mate, it's for a good cause." he smiled at the brooding man his darling sister had picked for a boyfriend.
Stefan nodded in agreement still nervous of the consequences of their actions but all the same handing him the USB drive that held all the evidence he watched. Kol plugged it into the computer that ran the digital photo frames automatically beginning the show from beginning to end smirking at the images appearing. It took a while for people to begin to pay attention to them but once they did Kol and Stefan made themselves very scarce.
Bekah ran into them on her way to meet her mother but was held back when Stefan and Kol took both of her hands, "What did you do?" they looked at her imploringly until she gave in moving with them. She heard gasps in tent where the ceremony was being held and then very load moaning.
It seemed the audio worked too, Kol was beyond thrilled as he skipped holding his sister back from running as fast as Stefan. "This is fantastic," he shouted winking at a beautifully dressed Bonnie Bennett. She blushed making him feel ten times better than he already did, "See you later," he mouthed.
Esther sat herself in the bride's section of the tent waiting for Rebekah to return with news over her son and Caroline. It had been more than an hour and she was worried this wedding might actually happen. She played with her thumbs watching photos of Caroline's youth pass by on the screens that had been placed on the aisles.
She looked over to the groom's side noticing that his photo's where also being showed then suddenly the screens turned to snow before cutting to some extreme footage. Tyler and someone else were caught in a very compromising position and the girl was certainly not helping him with his zipper on her knees.
Esther sighed as she actually heard the room place their attention on the screens closest to them knowing Kol had everything to do with this. "He really goes all out your son," Kat says on her left suddenly appearing in a beautiful peach lace frock.
The blonde nods, "I think this is actually subtle for him," Esther replied smirking as she remembered Kol as a child. He was always had a way of fixing situations with less than tame actions, "I applaud this one however," she added tilting her head to smile at the girl her second eldest son was in love with.
"Has Elijah finally realized he doesn't function without you," she asked a knowing look passing her eyes as Kat tried to deny any wrong doing. The girl gave up smiling at the love of her life's mother sweetly feeling nervous for the first time in a long time.
"I think so," Elijah said from her right joining their conversation saving Kat from having to answer any questions he had yet to discuss with her. "Mother, not to be rude but what are you doing here?" he asked kissing his mother's hand then taking his seat next to Kat. He wrapped an arm over the back of her seat quite comfortably making her blush as she leaned into him while his mother looked on.
Klaus felt himself come to as he was placed in the ambulance along with a brown haired man that looked slightly familiar. "Stefan?" he question confusing the man for a moment before disappearing into the mist once more with dreams of his Caroline.
Damon explained what had happened to the medic but there was only so much he could say not knowing the man. Even if the man clearly knew his brother, he sent a quick text to his girlfriend telling her he may not be able to make it after all.
They were rushed to the hospital where Damon was asked to stay in the lobby while they figured out who was Niklaus' emergency contact. They had searched the man's wallet finding his name on an expired driver's license.
He slumped in his chair feeling torn he should be with Elena not here with this man but he had no one else to be here for him. Damon decided he would stay until they could find a relative and bring them here, until then he would stay here and wait. He checked his phone noticing he missed a message from his girlfriend.
"Hey, freak out station over here," her text said vaguely making him wonder what that was about a secondary message came in soon after, "Can't talk. Dealing with crisis." He rolled his eyes at that one. A crisis at a wedding? Did Caroline go full on Carrie? He chuckled imaging it.
Caroline in an expensive gown out to kill the wedding guests for some ridiculous reason with blood spewing left and right, it sure was a sight. He shook his head as one of the nurses he recognized from earlier came forward looking for him.
"Are you with Mr. Mikaelson?" she asked seriously he nodded in response waiting for her to continue. "We are trying to locate next of kin but his phone is missing and all his information is at least five years old. We can't seem to find anything recent." She explained a sinking feeling overtaking his stomach.
"Hermit much?" he joked inappropriately it seemed because the woman's glare shot straight through him in the next second. "Sorry," he murmured not good with the morbid air or how lost everything surrounding this man seemed to be.
Elijah decides now is the best time to call his younger brother to see if he's alright considering Caroline's earlier less than forth coming attitude. He felt something was wrong but he didn't know what he smiled weakly at Kat as she drew her attention to him.
The ring tone kept going, by the fifth ring he thought it was just plain rude, there might be an emergency and Klaus wouldn't pick up. Deciding to let him have his moment for now he put his phone back in his coat, "Didn't pick up, did he?" Kat asked earning a grimace from Elijah.
"I think I should go over there," he said unsure which was so unlike him that it made Kat look at him questioningly. "You're right. I will go over there," he told her kissing her swiftly before standing up and taking his leave. Kat sat stunned even as his mother smiled at them in approval.
He took the fastest route to his brother's home noticing the skid marks on the ground up ahead. He rolled down his window surveying the damage as the tow truck's crane pulled up a familiar looking vehicle. He took out his phone dialing his brother once more, there was a ringing in the distance.
"Niklaus," he said feeling the wind get knocked out of his lungs he tossed his phone aside reaching for his door. "Where is the man that this vehicle belongs to," he shouted as he ran down the street towards the men hauling it up. They both looked at him like he was insane.
"What happened here?" he demanded of them. one man stepped forward as the other continued to direct the man controlling the crane. He slowed into a walk as he met the man a deadpan on his face as he waited for a response.
"In the hospital, the man rolled down the hill hitting the bottom, he was barely alive when they took him." the man said noting the slight graying of Elijah's skin he apologized, "Did you know him?" he asked referring to Klaus.
Elijah nodded, "He is my brother," was his only reply before he turned heading to St. Mary's Hospital hoping he wasn't too late. He turned his car around heading in the direction of town wanting with all his might to go faster fearing the worst for his younger brother.
AN: This can be the end or do you want a part two before the sequel?
