Season 2

Episode One: Rebirth

Klaus Mikaelson stared at the blank canvas that was across from him before he broke it in half, slaughtering it. Elijah Mikaelson entered the room with a raised eyebrow as he looked towards the mess that Klaus had created.

"I suppose that we should call this your white period." Elijah said dryly.

"I'm missing a crucial color, that of my enemies' blood." Klaus replied darkly as he glared at Elijah with tired eyes. "It's been months! And another full moon is upon us. Another night of pathetic weakness while my children are tucked away without me being able to see them." He looked towards his children's nurseries that had remained empty. "I need to spill blood; I need to get them back."

Elijah threw him a sympathetic smile. "Well, then you will be pleased to know that I have found the last of the 12 rings forged with you blood." Klaus smiled. "And I'm pleased that we have been able to do so. I'm concern about Caroline."

Klaus stiffen. "She looks well enough."

Elijah threw him a reproachful look. "She looks no better than you, brother. You two were just trying to form a relationship again, when you both drifted apart. If you could just offer a helpful ear- "

"She has you for that," Klaus replied nastily. "And she had Katherine before the bitch betrayed her and you erased her memories. If you're so concern for her wellbeing, then you help her."

Elijah sighed. "Like the father of her children she prefers to fight her demons alone."

Elijah exited the room and dialed his phone, it took a second but Nadia finally answered. "Elijah?" she sounded far away and Elijah remember slightly that she and Katerina had left towards the Bahamas. Nadia was finally getting the mother-daughter vacation that she had always wanted.

Even though what Katherine had done to Caroline had been cruel and evil he couldn't help but miss the brunette. "How is she?" Elijah didn't bother saying hello, besides Nadia knew who he was asking about.

Nadia looked over her shoulder at Katherine who was sunbathing. Ever since Elijah had erased her memories, Katherine had become a slightly different person. She could still be manipulative and conniving, but not as much as she had been before. "She's all right." Nadia responded awkwardly. "How are you? Are you not regretting- "

"No," Elijah replied swiftly. "It was the best thing that I could have done. Just keep her safe. Please."

"I will, Elijah."

Caroline was tired. She was tired of everything, but most of all she was angry. She could feel the anger everywhere and she couldn't wait to get it out. She opened the door of her children's nursery-the newest way that she had found to torture herself.

She usually just stayed in the nursery and watched the place that should have been for her children. Today, however she found an unwelcome visitor. "Elijah," she scowled. "What the hell are you doing?" she saw that Elijah was taking apart the crib that Klaus had so lovingly bought for the kids.

"Welcome back," Elijah snapped as he looked at Caroline's bloody clothes. "What is it the third time this week that you have been gone?"

"That is none of your business," Caroline snapped. "What the hell are you doing?"

"As we have discussed everything must be in perfect order," Elijah replied, slightly snobbish. "It's been months. You can't keep spending time around this nursery. I know that you're going through a difficult time- "

"Don't tell me what I have been going through, Elijah," she snapped. "I know what I have been going through and I don't need you to tell me. What I do need to know is why Francesca Guerrero is still breathing while she was the one that plotted to kill my babies."

"You will have your vengeance, I promise."

"Fine," Caroline replied flatly as she took the crib from him. "But until we have our vengeance. This room is mine and was given to me by Klaus and I'll tell you when to get rid of it."

"We're taking the 12 original rings," Elijah told Caroline and Klaus as they meet around the dining room table later that evening as they discussed the plan that would be taking place. Most of the rings are within the Guerrera family the rest are scattered around their lackeys."

"They believe for some reason that we have the white oak stake. They will come after me." Klaus said with a raised eyebrow.

"Which means that we have to work together and each do our part." Elijah instructed firmly as he looked between Klaus and Caroline. "You two can no longer afford to retreat into your own corners anymore."

"This is our battle, Caroline," Klaus told her. "We will fight together."

Caroline nodded. "Just promise me that I will finish off Francesca and no one else."

He smirked at her. "Pick your weapon."

Caroline was losing her patience. She could hear the screams of the remaining wolves as Elijah slaughtered them and took her rings. Her phone buzz and she relax. Finally, she had a new message and this time it was from Elijah. A smirk curled on her lip. It was a message from Elijah that held Francesca location. Francesca had been stupid enough to think that a cloaking spell would work, but Caroline had other methods to find her.

She went towards route 9 where Francesca was driving her blue car. Francesca stopped the car when she saw Caroline. "Please," she begged as Caroline pulled the door part, forcing her outside. "Don't do this."

Caroline loved seeing the fear in her eyes. Loved seeing the weakness in her eyes. She tightened the grip around her neck and hissed at her. "Beg."

Francesca whimpered something and Caroline tightened her grip ."Rivena mevose."

She saw as the blood went towards her eyes and she started vomiting blood uncontrollably. Francesca's body started shaking as Caroline dropped the body as if fell limply to the floor.

"I thought this would give me greater pleasure." Klaus said looking depressed as he watched Elijah burn the rings. "This was all my fault. If I had accepted Caroline's pregnancy instead of letting my greed and envy get in the way, then I would have my children."

"We all make mistakes, brother," Elijah said warmly. "But even though you have made many mistake you always seem to come out winning. Go with her, Niklaus. Ease her pain. Make her feel better."

"What could I possibly say to her?"

Elijah put a hand on his shoulder. "Whatever she needs to hear."

"It will get better, love." Klaus told Caroline when he found her curled up in his office chair. He pushed back a piece of blond hair and Caroline looked up at him with sad blue eyes.

"Will it?" she croaked. "Will it ever get better, Klaus?"

"Well," Klaus was already regretting saying anything. "We're going to try and it will get better. This is just the beginning stage."

"I won't feel better until I can have my babies in my arms again." Caroline replied stubbornly.

Klaus smirked as he gave her a soft kiss on the lips. "And you shall." he looked at Caroline. "We will get through this whatever it takes."

"I killed her," Caroline said after a while. "I killed Francesca and it actually felt good." Klaus smirked. "It's not funny, I felt this rage that I had never felt before. I don't know if that was good or bad."

"It was good," Klaus insisted. "You're a hybrid now. Both witch and vampire. Believe me you're going to become a new person. The old Caroline is going to disappear."

"How about we go to a club tonight instead of going to the beach?" Katherine asked Nadia as she dried her hair. "I like to not get sand in my vagina this time. It leaves a nasty rash."

"All right," Nadia agreed happily. "I could use a drink." Nadia opened the double doors and stopped short when she saw that they had two uninvited guests. A young woman and a young man. "Katherine- "

Before Nadia could finish her sentence the travelers started chanting and Nadia and Katherine felt a sharp pain in their heads as everything went dark.

-End of Chapter Twenty-Three-

Thank you so much for your patience! I rewrote the ideas that I had for season 2 and 3. I decided to continue the story under the title of "The Heiress" instead of breaking them up into two separate sequels.

Next up in Alive and Kicking: Elijah encourages Klaus to calm down Caroline's anger over the fact that she has lost the twins, but things go from bad to worse when Klaus encourages Caroline to be more violent. Nadia and Katherine find themselves trapped by a group of travelers and one of them is known as Mr. Petrova-Katherine's father.
