I KNOW IT'S BAD BUT JUST KEEP READING!
Marcel hadn't yet got used to Damon's whining about Silas or Caroline and if it wasn't that it was the lack of bourbon at Marcel's flat. They were trying to come up a plan to defeat Silas before the wedding but they were all finding social skills hard to control… Marcel didn't really know Caroline much but she always had good intentions and she cared for his Bekah so Marcel guessed that Caroline was worth it.
"Listen I know Silas is this big powerful bad ass but you forget you're not in Mystic Falls anymore you're in New Orleans and we have quite a few powerful allies who would be happy to help out, so stop you're negative talk and let's get down to business." Marcel lost his patients.
"Well said" Klaus made his presence clear as he paced in.
"Okay Klaus, what do you suggest?" Elena stood up of the brown leather sofa with her chin held high.
Klaus smirked with deadly eyes. "I suggest we get in touch with your Bennet witch and I will find my allies." Klaus said in an obvious tone.
Damon just turned to the window looking out over the Harbour.
"Bonnie is locked in a super natural jail with a powerful witch trying to kill her, we almost escaped but Bonnie took a bullet for me." Damon whispered in hurtful tone. "But that's our problem, not yours" Damon perked up. "What about Jo she would help right?" Damon asked Elena.
"I don't think Rick would let her get caught up in this stuff especially Silas." Elena answered.
"But Care bears her medical student; we gotta ask." Damon got his phone out.
"Right then you ask this 'Jo' and we will track down Davina, Josh you and Davina are close right? Just tell her how she saved you're worthless life and she will help" Klaus started to get angry his eyes flashing bright yellow.
"Klaus. We will find her." Marcel reassured.
Klaus knew they would find her but could he save her?

Caroline sat in the lobby in the Hotel her and Silas were occupying for the previous days. Silas had provided everything for her without question and was kind but that freaked her out a little. They were both waiting to going to a meeting with Silas' ancestors to discuss the ins and outs of the ceremony.
"Right the cab's here, let's go." Silas smiled but Caroline said nothing. Not being in contact with her friends was killing her but she guessed if she was it would hurt more not being able see them again.
Caroline was wearing casual clothes but she looked reasonably smart; blue jeans a lace white top and a top shop black blazer. While Silas wore jeans and a smart T-shirt. No one talked in the cab.
They arrived in front of a quaint house with a retro feel to it. Out bustled Sally with an elderly woman on her arm with big cheesy grins.
Silas pulled Caroline to him linking his arm with hers. "Remember the plan dear." Silas whispered in her ear. How could she forget the plan? All she had to do is pretend that she wanted this… can't be too hard.
They sat in the living room with candle's lit and herbs in laid out on the coffee table, the living room itself looked worn out from, what Caroline guessed, grandchildren and general family parties.
"I'm surprised to see you Sally." Caroline spoke up.
"Yes well I knew you were the super natural soul and Silas is a distant ancestor so i knew you two would find each other and do your duty to the witches…that's the thing with us super naturals; we have to do what the spirits ask." Sally's smile dropped slightly.
"It is an honour to meet you Caroline, I never thought I would ever meet neither of you let alone perform the ritual ceremony… it truly is an honour." The elderly lady finished.
The conversations were taken over between Silas and the elderly lady who was known as Etta; all they talked about was the wedding and the organisations also the ritual, Caroline and Sally spoke about the dress and all the things women really want to know.
"Let's go upstairs and see the wedding dress I have prepared; it's been used by many regents and powerful ancestors" Such as Caroline who will be 2 thousand years more powerful than she is now when the ritual is performed; that way Caroline can protect all super naturals.
It hung up on a wardrobe, once Sally revealed it from its protector bag… Caroline stared in awe. At the front on her chest was a love heart curl around her breasts with lace covering her back where Sally had altered it with no material and at the bottom it just puffed out with a long trial of snow white fabric and lace… it was plain fabric but the little adjustments it was beautiful. She had a veil but Sally thought it wouldn't be best not to use it because it would hide her beautiful complexion.
Once Caroline was buttoned up in the lace trimmed dress, her mouth dropped slightly at the sight of herself…
"Is that really me?" Caroline questioned, this wedding could have been wonderful if only she were marrying the right guy and not the left hand of god.
"It really is dear." Sally laughed.
"So this ritual is so important because…" Caroline had tried to work it out herself but she really didn't understand the concept.
"The ritual is extremely important dear; you are not only marrying Silas you are marrying magic and giving your soul and life to it, devoting your entire existence to it... But I wouldn't worry dear, I am sure you will lead us witches tremendously." Sally shrugged it off leaving Caroline in a deep daze… Can she do this? Caroline knew that if she didn't her friends would suffer the consequences; all she had to do was lead the entire super natural community.
Can't be that hard can it? All she had to do was keep peace…. 'God help me' Caroline thought.

Klaus paced in a steady rhythm, losing his patience by the second.
"So I just got off the phone to Jo…" Damon walked in with poor pouting look.
"And!" Klaus clenched his fists.
"She says she can't do anything; Silas is the top of top's Klaus. He's stronger than you. Isn't that telling you something…? Caroline isn't coming back!" Damon shouted in fury, he honestly will miss his little blonde friend. Before Damon could say anything else Klaus grabbed him by the throat ready to twist it just a twitch and snap.
"Caroline will be back! I am the hybrid! I will find a way out of this, now you can stand with me or run back home to your trashy little town… You're choice!" Klaus snapped ready for a anything.
Marcel entered the scene just at that moment as Damon collapsed onto the floor in his flat followed by Josh and Davina.
"What's the news?" Klaus twitched; eyes flashing yellow.
"I will help, on one condition." Davina said.
"Name it." Klaus almost sounded desperate.
"I want Ester's grimore's." Davina face was nothing but determined.
Klaus thought this through considering all the consequences of what could happen if he gave his dear mother's grimore to Davina… What to do?
"Fine." Klaus answered… If she turned against him or his family they would deal with it, right now Caroline was his main concern.
"What have you got in mind then miss determination? Silas is 2 thousand years old, you can't just flick you're finger and be done with him." Damon asked. Klaus would never be Damon's friend but he always had a point.
"I know. I can disrupt the ceremony but I will need back-up because there is bound to be a bunch of angry witches; I'm talking thousands. This is the wedding every witch ever lived has been waiting for; it's a big event." Davina spoke up.
Every one didn't speak or whimper a whisper, considering, concentrating and hoping.
"That's why Jo didn't want to help; she didn't want enemies." Elena broke the silence. "Are you sure you are ready for this?" Elena looked at the young girl before her, no more than sixteen and yet surrounded by super naturals as if it were a common thing.
"That's why I need the grimore's; I can fight off my enemies… I guess your enemies are mine now Klaus." Davina said as if making an alliance that only Klaus would understand.
"The wedding is in two days, can you learn the spells in time Davina?" Klaus asked.
"Me and Kol will find a way around it."
"Speaking of my dear brother, where is he?"
"I thought he would be with you… I will find him." Davina left soon after once Klaus agreed to bring her the grimore's.
Elena and Damon just stood there dumbly.
"Kol's alive?" Elena whispered quizzically.

Stefan, Enzo and Rebekah had been continuously searching for Caroline; day in day out. All they knew is that she was staying in 'The Grand Hotel'. They had tried to enter the hotel but it had a protection spell over the whole of the building so all they did was wait and try to get message to Caroline.
They saw Caroline climbing into a cab one morning and ran towards her shouting her name, kicking and screaming but it seemed Silas had performed every spell in the book to keep her isolated from them. He, of course, knew they were there and just smiled sweetly like a child.
Klaus had not been happy to hear the news in fact he was murderous and deadly. From then on they left the Hotel knowing the basic facts about the wedding and just set off about New Orleans, Enzo had never been unlike Stefan who went in the late 1800's; they were both dazed by New Orleans.
"I have to go; I have a wedding to attend." Rebekah spoke up.
"Huh, What wedding?" Stefan asked.
"It's a family wedding but if anything drastic happens put me on speed dial." Rebekah strode off away from the two men just staring after her.
"Well, it looks like it's just you and me mate." Enzo said after endless silence.
"Great." Stefan said with drained enthusiasm and happiness.

Rebekah just about made it and she had to say 'I look pretty gorgeous' as she looked at her reflection seeing as she hadn't slept in day's and only had a couple of hours each night, now was one of those moments when you were happy you are a vampire.
Dressed in a long lilac dress Rebekah welcomed the guests in the compound. All this wedding talk was driving Rebekah bonkers or barmy either way; if she ever got married Rebekah wanted it nice and simple not this ritual nonsense.
Hayley looked beautiful in her simple but sleek white wedding dress, the ceremony was slow but amusing on how they did the ritual… Her heart went out to Elijah; the pain he must be feeling now is indescribable. How is it herself and Elijah always were lift to drown their own sorrows? Why was it always them? Her dear poor brother…
Klaus had given Rebekah the opportunity to prove herself to him, not that she never stopped, by leaving her in charge of the mission to get Caroline.
She soon left with Marcel to meet Stefan, Damon, Elena and Enzo. Davina was preoccupied with Josh but they both said they would be in touch in a couple of hours. Once Rebekah and Marcel explained the plan between them silence became known.
"So basically we are depending on Davina to bring Care back." Stefan asked.
"Well yeah sort of but D knows her magic; all we have to do is grab Caroline between ourselves and cause a distraction which shouldn't be too hard." Marcel said.
"Me and Enzo will cause the distraction, that's where our special qualities lie." Damon smirked while Enzo just nodded.
"Alright! Looks like we have got the ball rolling." Marcel smiled gleefully.
"You forget that we are going up against a 2 thousand year old witch who could knock us down like pin balls." Rebekah snapped.
"Rebekah's right; we need a distraction for Silas." Elena said surprising both of herself and Rebekah.
"Kol will have to distract Silas while Davina does her big entrance." Marcel shrugged with no other answer but that.
"If I remember correctly there is going to be hundreds of witches there as well; this plan won't work darling." Enzo snarled in frustration.
They all knew the facts, they all knew that they were mad to consider it but love does stupid things to your brain cells… I guess they will just die trying.
Rebekah's phone rang; she left the flat heading outside.
'Rebekah head to the cemetery, our brother needs us' Elijah barked smothered in stress.
"What's happened?" Rebekah asked as she climbed in the car.
Elijah sighed. 'It's Kol, he's dying.'
