Epilogue

It was four years later as Elena graduated from college that she decided she wanted her eternity to begin.

And as she awoke a vampire Elijah asked her to marry him and she accepted.

Klaus finally took Caroline to all the places he had promised her as they revelled in each other and the beauty of the world.

It was five years later when Bonnie realised she loved Kol too much to be without him, and on her birthday she too turned for the one she loved.

Rebekah and Matt settled down after they had finished college, and Matt too turned, not wanting to be without Rebekah, and they adopted a little girl who they named Ester, and boy they named Henrik, with Rebekah finally getting her dream for a love and a family of her own.

Sage took Finn around the new world, showing him everything he had missed their eternal love so long ago sealed.

Alaric married Meredith and they had a daughter named Isobel.

Tyler never returned to Mystic Falls but started a new life with a werewolf girl named Hayley and they were happy.

Jeremy married his college girlfriend and they had three children, Jenna, Miranda and Grayson.

Stefan found a new epic love in a girl named Charlotte also a reformed ripper and together they kept control.

Damon never stopped loving Elena but he was glad to see her happy, and he eventually reunited with Katherine of all people, having finally been granted her freedom she decided to live her life as opposed to just surviving.

The whole family met almost every year for Christmas or thanksgiving and though they still had their slips from time to time, they remained true to the paths they had been set on, and the originals were no longer the oldest most feared vampires in the history of time, but simply a family once more.
