"Hold my hand two witches are stronger then one."

The twelve year old brown haired boy puts his hand on his sisters hand. The blonde sister chants in Latin and she appears in a hallway she hears talking and sees a baby in the arms of a man pointing at her.

Everyone is sitting in in front of the Christmas tree, Klaus has Hope in his lap.

Caroline had trouble convincing everyone to sit down together since Klaus is still mad at her for keeping and helping Katherine be alive. He is mad at Katherine for being herself and here. He is also mad at everyone except Elijah who didn't know, everyone knew Katherine was alive and he hates being out of the loop.

Kol gives Davina a grimoire he has had since 1821. Davina throws her arms around his neck and hugs him " I love it thank you."

Kol smiles while Rebekah turns to Stefan " I didn't get you anything I didn't know I would be seeing you for Christmas."

Stefan nods he get it he didn't know he would be seeing Rebekah either. Katherine who is leaning into Elijah who has a arm around her. " I'm your present and if last night told us anything it's you throughly enjoyed your present."

Elijah looks down turning red Nadia smiles she loves that her mom is happy and she finds it funny that someone as old as Elijah can still feel embarrassed.

Caroline looks over at Klaus she knows he likes to give her things. While everyone was talking and enjoying themselves Hope has been playing with her dads necklaces. " I do have a couple presents for you but I will not give them to you until I am not hurt by what you did."

" I did not intentionally hurt you. I helped the woman who gave me my vampiric life who also happened to be one of my best friends."

They hear Kol whisper to Rebekah, Elijah, Katherine and Stefan " We all know how long Nik can hold a grudge Caroline is never getting that present."

Klaus eyes turn yellow in anger as he hands Hope to Caroline who puts her little arms out still wanting her dad. Klaus glares with anger hurt and betrayal in his eyes at brother, Enzo and Nadia lean over to Kol " I suggest you run."

"He does not look like he wants to give you a hug."

Kol vamps outs out of the house with Klaus following right behind him.

" No matter how much time has passed you never change."

Mikael drops the werewolf he was draining and turns towards the voice of his wife Esther. " Neither do you. We both came back that night and your only now finding me by Astro projection no doubt, what do you want Esther?"

Esther smiles wickedly " I want our son Finn back. He's in the home of our other children you know their home better then I do. Plus the stake might be there."

" Why should I help you, you didn't even lift a finger to bring me back, you brought back yourself, Finn and your werewolf lover who I can't find anywhere. I had to trick a sub par witch who was bringing back our son Kol."

" I'm turning all our children human when Niklaus is just a werewolf you might have an easier time killing him then right now."

Mikael goes to attack her and she disappears.

Xxx

After a couple laps around the house and large property Kol yells to his brother " This is pathetic your not even trying."

Inside Elijah stands up and get ready to stop them. " I have to stop this before Kol has a second death this time by his own brother."

Caroline hands Hope who had one of Caroline's fingers between her gums to Elijah. " Let me I am the reason Klaus is mad at us let me try to make it better."

Elijah sits back down between Katherine and Nadia all he says is "Good luck."

Xxx

Caroline vamps out of the house she tries to figure out which one is which but can't so she just stands in front of both fast moving blurs.

Kol sees her and tries to stop but is going really fast so Klaus won't catch him so when he sees Caroline he tries to slow down but trips over his own feet and ends up running into her.

He knocks her to the ground with him falling on her, Klaus not realizing what is happening until it's too late falls on them. From underneath Kol, Caroline says " Klaus we need to talk."

Klaus throws Kol off Caroline who he helps up but after she is up he stops touching her. " No we don't."

Klaus turns to go back into the house when he feels something hit him in the back of the head with force. He turns and Caroline's black heel is laying on the porch." Did you just throw your heel at my head?"

Caroline limps over and grabs her heel out of his hand and puts it back on using his shoulder to balance her. " I was aiming for your back it had another idea."

"Well you have my attention what did you want to talk about."

" I understand you are hurt Klaus but I didn't do anything wrong. Katherine, Nadia and I were friends not only before we started dating but before the woods. Katherine has been looking out for me for longer then I realized. Turning human, finding her daughter, becoming my friend, having a heart attack and almost dying has changed her. She is a better person now, she is not the same person you knew in 1492 and have known for the last five hundred years."

Klaus looks at her with a cold face she has never witnessed before " Katerina Petrova never changes she tricked you into pretending she is nice and will betray you she always betrays someone."

Xxx

Mikael finds Finn's coffin in a back room. When he opens the coffin Finn is weak and still shackled falls forward, Mikael catches him " Your mother has requested your presence."

Finn drinking the water Mikael brought for him " You gave up trying to kill your children and your working for her now?"

" You are one of the children I actually like as for trying to kill you I was only after Niklaus and since that first flee you all fled together I was after all of you."

Xxx

Enzo has been thrown into Mikaelson family drama he needs a minute to himself. He walks on to the porch expecting to take a walk around the property but he hears someone sniffling and he looks to his left and sitting on the swing curled up is Caroline crying he sits beside her so she is leaning against him he has an arm around her shoulders.

" What's wrong gorgeous?"

" Klaus is going to break up with me, I just know it. I wanted to talk he walked away so I threw my heel at him and tried to explain every thing to him but he just walked inside. He won't look at me or even call love or my love. I knew this would happen I was scared it would happen and it is. He broke his promise and broke my heart. Forever didn't even last a year."

Enzo leans forward and kisses her forehead. " You'll always have me, you gave me a home, friends and a family. I've never had those and I never thought I would."

Caroline smiles and puts her arms around Enzo and gives him a big hug. She is so happy she met Enzo and became friends with him he is one of the most loyal person in her life. Enzo is the brother she never had.

Xxx

Rebekah takes Stefan's hand and leads him to another living room. " The night you died I was heartbroken I didn't want to leave you, I had your head in lap and I was stroking your hair crying. Caroline bend down and told me we are going to bring him back. When I finally pulled myself together enough to leave you Nadia, Katherine and I went back to the house to call Davina to ask her to bring you back.

When we were threatening witches to help Bonnie bring everyone back Klaus sent me a text that Hope was born and he needed my help to protect her. I had to go I told Caroline to tell me when you came back then I left. I was on an empty back road when Caroline called me and told me you were alive and you asked for me. She called me the next day and told me you left and according to your letter I was partially to blame I wanted to find you but I knew I had to stay and take care of Hope. Every town Hope and I went to I searched for you. I was so happy when Caroline called me and told me that they found you and you were going home with them. I do not want to lose you again."

Stefan puts his arms around her and she sniffles into his neck holding back tears. Stefan loves Rebekah but he didn't realize how much she loved him Until now. " I don't want you to leave without me again."

Xxx

Finn walks Into the green house his mother is in she smiles up at from her spell. " Finn we need to locate your siblings. Did they tell you anything?"

" No the only thing they told me was that I'm an idiot for trusting you."

Xxx

Enzo finds Klaus in the dinning room " What is wrong with you? Caroline is outside crying thinking your going to break up with her. So what she helped keep Katherine alive. Just because she is in a relationship with you does that mean she can't have friends. Damon told me about you and how you would do anything for Caroline, but I from what I've seen is Caroline can do better then you. You don't deserve her."

Klaus stares at him then vamps over and snaps his neck. Just because he is Caroline's friend doesn't mean he can berate him.

Nadia comes in having heard a thud and yelling and sees Enzo laying on the floor lifeless, she bends down next to him, she thinks of him like a little brother. " Why is Enzo dead?"

" He needed to learn his place. So your Katerina's daughter how have I not heard of you?"

" I've kept a low profile searching for my mother. It has not been easy. In 1702 I saw your brothers Kol and Elijah from a distance but other then that I stayed away from the towns you were in knowing my mother would not be in the same town as you."

Klaus still mad at everyone snaps her neck. She falls to the ground next to Enzo.

Xxx

Elijah saw Enzo storm into the dinning room and never came out. He walks in to see if he can calm his brother down when he sees both Nadia and Enzo laying on the floor." Niklaus was this really necessary?"

" What do you want Elijah?"

Elijah can see his brother is hurt and heartbroken but needs him to see reason so he steps over the temporarily dead vampires and sits down next to his brother at the table. " That first time you went back to Mystic Falls after we moved to New Orleans for Caroline's graduation did you tell her about Hayley, the baby and that Camille looks like her and your using her as a Caroline backup."

Klaus looks up at him he doesn't know where Elijah is going with this. " No."

"You kept it a secret because you were trying to protect her she kept Katherine a secret to protect you from killing everyone. You and Caroline love each other and would do anything for each other but you have to trust each other that when the times comes you will tell each other the truth. Right now your pushing her away if you continue she won't be there anymore."

Klaus thinks about it when Katherine walks in looking for Nadia who she finds with her neck snapped on the floor. She bends down next to her daughter, she brings Nadia's head into her lap and brushes the hair off her face she looks up at the hybrid with fury on her face. " I get your mad at me mostly from the last five hundred years but some is just from today. Yes I'm still alive, Yes I love Elijah, and yes I'm best friends with Caroline, but do not take it out on Nadia she is innocent you had no right to snap her neck."

Katherine stands up and punches Klaus in the face for hurting her daughter. Elijah sees the fury on his brothers face and stames in front of Katherine " We need to get botp of you out of here you take her head and I'll take her feet."

Xxx

Caroline sees Katherine and Elijah carrying Nadia out of the dinning room, she looks up at Katherine silently asking if Nadia ok. Katherine nods. She looks in and sees Klaus seething in anger and Enzo dead on the floor. She drops to the floor and puts Enzo's head in her lap." Seriously Klaus just because your mad Katherine is alive doesn't mean you have to snap Enzo and Nadia's neck. They didn't do anything to you."

Klaus glances down at her but doesn't speak. He just leaves to sulk. Caroline enlists Stefan to help her get Enzo to the couch. They join Kol, Davina and Rebekah playing with Hope on the floor.

Elijah and Katherine join them and Caroline announces " Elijah I have a present for you."

She vamps to her one of the bags in her and Klaus' room and grabs Elijah's present. " As to our deal Elijah. I won so you have to wear something other then a suit for a whole day."

" I remember I also remember saying make it classy I don't want to look like someone off the street."

Caroline hands over the bag and he pulls out a pair of dark blue jeans and a black leather jacket with a single red stripe down each arm, a white stripe on the chest and under the cuffs of the jacket there is a small zipper to adjust the size of cuff you want.

" Elijah if you don't want this I'll have it."

Elijah glances at his little brother with his shut up Kol expression. " Thank you Caroline I will wear it tomorrow."

Xxx

The blonde haired witch and her twelve year old brown haired little brother walk into the courtyard of the compound. " Let's look around our new home."

Marcel hears them from inside and tells Cami who is being protected from Esther to stay inside. He goes out and to see where the voices were coming from. " Who are you and what are you doing here."

The blonde witch clenches her hand into a fist, Marcel grabs his head and yells. She flicks her hand and Marcel's neck snaps. Cami having seen this runs out to him. The blonde witch Clenches her hand into a fist again Cami starts coughing up blood, the brown haired little brother whispers to his sister. " She's human."

She flicks her wrist and knocks Cami unconiousness. " Let's begin."

Xxx

Elijah leaves a kiss on Caroline's cheek to thank her for her present, When Klaus comes in "Something is wrong in New Orleans, Marcel is not picking up his phone he was supposed to be calling me with updates of the mysterious blonde asking about us."

Caroline looks up at him he's hurt by what she did and worried about Marcel. " I'll go with you. You shouldn't be alone plus like Elijah told me a couple months ago I am a Mikaelson family member if she's looking for you she's looking for me."

Kol and Rebekah say at the same time " We're in."

Rebekah smiles behind her at Stefan " I'm not leaving without you."

Stefan smiles and leans forward and leaves a kiss on her lips their foreheads lingering together both smiling. " Never I'm yours Rebekah."

Xxx

As Davina is leaving the room to get her bags to put in Kol's Lamborghini Klaus speaks " I need a word with you."

" What do you want I'm not bringing back anymore family members."

Klaus chuckles " No, but funny you bring that up I picked you to do that spell to see if you could do this spell for me. I want you to make Caroline an original."

Davina's eye widen in shock " You want me to cast the immortality spell. That is a really powerful spell, does Caroline know you want to perform the immortality spell on her?"

"Yes we discussed it."

"If it's what Caroline wants then I'll do it but I need to hear her say yes to the spell."

Xxx

Caroline embraces Katherine in a hug " I'm leaving my car here for you and Nadia. I'm going to miss you Kat, tell Nadia I said bye."

" I will, I'm going to miss you too Caroline you've changed my life more then I can say, I will say that you should of taken my advice and told Klaus about me being alive naked he would of taken it a lot better."

Caroline laughs and playfully pushes Katherine, Elijah watches as both girls laugh he has only seen this side of Katherine when she is with him he likes that she has Caroline in her life.

Kol and Davina just pulled out of the driveway followed by Rebekah and Stefan. Caroline turns back from Klaus's Lincoln Navigator, Enzo's in the back he's still out. She smiles at Klaus holding Hope and talking with her, they look so cute." Klaus we have to go, Hope will be well taken care of here."

" I am not leaving her here with Katerina and her daughter."

"Elijah's also here Katherine is here to fix what Esther did to Elijah. She has changed I know you are angry at me right now and don't trust me but you have to believe me Katherine has changed she will not let anything happen to Hope neither will Nadia."

Klaus kisses Hope's forehead and hands her to Elijah. " Take care of her brother. I hope you get well."

Elijah nods" Always and forever brother."

Xxx

The twelve year old brown haired boy finds his blonde sister in front of Finn's open coffin. " I think only Niklaus and Elijah live here, I couldn't find any of Rebekah or Kol's possessions. It's nice that Niklaus still paints I found his paintings and drawings. There's paintings of them on the wall in one of the living rooms the painting of Elijah doesn't look like him."

He puts his hand on the coffin and closes his eyes " This is Finn's coffin, Kol put him in it, Mikael got him out."

" Mikael is here?"

"Yes I saw him, before you resurrected me I saw Esther too."

The blonde sister looks down at her equally powerful little brother " Do you think they know?"

" Yes Esther has always longed to be powerful and her reasoning to be powerful is to protect her family, we are incredibly powerful if we used enough magic she will find us."

The sister puts her arm around the brothers shoulders pulling him into her side. " If she comes for us or worse it's you and me till the end."

The little brother smiles up at her " Always and forever."

" Always and forever." She leans down and kisses his forehead.

Xxx

Katherine looks over at Elijah as his siblings pull out of the driveway the sadness on his face." Are you ok? I know it's hard to see them leave since your always with them."

" I should be with them, they are my family and they don't know what they are walking into."

" They need you back to full Elijah, we will get you back and figure out whatever Esther has done to you."

Elijah turns to her and she's smiling down at Hope watching as Hope plays with one of her fingers. " Why are you here, why have you not left yet, why are you helping me?"

Katherine glances up at him written all over her face is an expression that says how do you not know. " I love you Elijah, I always have and always will. Would my life be simpler without the Mikaelsons hell yes. Your family has caused me so much pain but if I could do my life over there would be only one thing I would change and it has nothing to do with you or your family. I spent my whole vampiric life running from Klaus. Rebekah killing Elena set off a chain of events ending with Elena shoving the cure down my throat and turning me human, but Rebekah also helped the process of turning me back into a vampire. I love you and I'm going to help you."

Elijah smiles at her and leans over and kisses her cheek. " I love you my Katerina."

Xxx

Driving through Mississippi Enzo woke up rubbing his neck he looks around the car. " Cinderella where are we, why are we in a car I thought we were spending a couple days in Arkansas."

Caroline turns in her seat so she can see Enzo sprawled in the backseat. " We are in Mississippi, there are two people in New Orleans looking for the Mikaelsons and Marcel is not picking up his phone so we have to go see what is wrong."

" Last thing I remember is telling Klaus your crying outside and that he doesn't deserve you then he snapped my neck."

" You and Nadia, he's still mad he hasn't talked to me almost five hours."

Xxx

The blonde witch and her brown haired little brother found some food and are walking into the dinning room, the little brother almost drops his dinner the sister takes it from him and places it on the table. She rushes back to her brother who is almost hunched over. " What's wrong?"

" There is so much anger and hate in this room." He closes his eyes and places his hand on the table and gets visions. " Niklaus, Elijah, Kol, Finn and Esther all sat here having a dinner, Niklaus was angry shouting at Esther. Elijah and Kol tried to calm him down it didn't work. Esther disappeared everyone attacked Finn but he used magic. Finn left. Klaus, Kol and Elijah left worried."

The sister sits down in Klaus' seat and the little brother sits in Elijah's seat. " Amidst all the anger, hatred and frustration in this house there is love."

" What kind of love?"

The brother puts his hand out and touches the space between his chair and Klaus chair he closes his eyes " Family love, romantic love and friendship love. Niklaus' room is filled with romantic love."

While they are eating Marcel and Cami woke up and find them. " Get out this is not your house."

The siblings stand up and face Marcel and Cami " This not your house either, Elijah kicked you out of the city Marcellus your only here because Elijah isn't and you care about Camille. Hasn't Klaus kicked you out Camille."

Marcel's eyes widen and his jaw drops nobody calls him Marcellus except the Mikaelsons. Cami takes a step back how did these people know Caroline and Klaus have kicked her out. " Who are you? How do you know this."

" I may look thirteen but Im much older and I know everything."

The older sister chimes in " We know all about this city and all about you."

Xxx

Passing the welcome to Louisiana sign Caroline can't take the silence anymore. " Enough Klaus pull over now."

" We have two hours left it can wait."

" I mean it Klaus pull the car over."

Klaus pulls over and turns to Caroline with a I don't have time for this expression. Caroline looks behind her at Enzo " Can you give us a minute."

" Yeah I'll go find someone to eat."

When Enzo is outside Caroline turns back to Klaus. " I'm sorry I knew you would be mad at Katherine's reveal but I didn't know you would be this mad. I'm not sorry for being friends with Katherine, I told you she turned me. She would come back to Mystic Falls to check on Stefan have a fling with Elijah and to see how I was, I didn't even know she cared about me to check on me but she did. She's not the same person you met in 1492. If you think about it she is the one constant in your life for the last five hundred years you've daggered and undaggered siblings and continued to run from Mikael the one thing that never changed was your hatred for Katherine for stealing the moonstone and running which is what you were doing, she was running from you and you were running from Mikael."

" I'm not mad about the reveal I'm hurt the one person I thought would never lie to me hid something of this magnitude from me. So since we have been the only constant in each other's lives we should be friends? It's hard not to want to be around you Caroline you have this magnetism that pulls people to you and when they can't be with you they want to be. My running from Mikael was different then Katerina's running from me. Mikael wanted me dead because Esther cheated on him and got pregnant resulting in me. I wanted Katerina dead because I had all the ingredients for the sacrifice and she stole the moonstone and ran delaying the sacrifice five hundred years."

" What is more important your anger and grudge against Katherine or Elijah's happiness and our relationship?"

Klaus knows which one he should choose but he's always had his anger and his grudge against Katerina. " The night of your prom Elijah gave me the white oak stake told me to spare Katerina give him the opportunity to love to feel to care I told him no I would chase her down and that he would never know a moment of happiness. A lot has changed since then I choose you Caroline. I still hate her but Elijah has stood by my side our entire lives he has given up so much. She can live to make Elijah happy."

Caroline smiles at him that is huge saying Katherine can live. " Do you forgive me? Even though I'm still going to be friends with Katherine and her daughter Nadia, I'm still friends with Enzo and Stefan."

" Yes I forgive you."

Caroline throws her arms around Klaus' neck and kisses his cheek. Klaus pulls away " no secrets."

" that goes for you too."

Klaus nods he's trying to follow what Elijah told him and he really wants this relationship to work.

Xxx

Hayley is still an emotional wreck and destroys everything in her wake and she is looking for one person in particular. " Elijah we need to talk."

Cami runs out of the compound into the courtyard with Marcel behind her " Run these people are insane and unreasonable."

" Insane and unreasonable my favorite people to kill." Hayley starts to march Into the compound but gets as far as the door before coming face to face with the blonde witch. " Let me guess this is your home not the Mikaelsons. The big M's on the columns are of your name not Mikaelson."

Instead of responding Hayley snaps her neck and steps over her body looking for the next person to kill. The little brother saw this he runs up to his sister and puts her head in his lap " You killed my sister."

He closes his eyes, balls his hands in fists and screams extending his hands open. The ground starts shaking Hayley's neck snaps, so does Marcel's and Cami becomes unconscious.

Xxx

Kol and Davina pull into her driveway followed by Rebekah and Stefan they were to wait for Klaus, Caroline and Enzo to arrive and go over to the compound to confront the blonde haired witch as a united front. All of them grab The cars as the ground starts shaking " What is going on?"

" I don't know, the only witch who had that much power to shake the entire city was me when I had the other three harvest girls power in me, the other three harvest girls are dead and their power is gone I'm the only one left."

As the ground stops shaking Rebekah yells up to Kol. " What did you bring us back to?"

"This isn't us, Davina thinks it's the witches but we can't go to the cemetery to question them that's where Esther and Finn and their werewolf supporters have taken up camp."

" Kol promise me if anything happens to Stefan or myself-"

Kol cuts her off "- we will get you in other bodies, you invested in my resurrection I'm not going to let my only sister die. Stefan on the other hand never did anything to me so he can live. If you had fallen in love with Damon he would be dead."

" I would never fall in love with Damon not after what he did to me."

Stefan was in the kitchen looking for a blood bag when he heard that his ears perked up and his attention turned from hunger to his girlfriend. " What did Damon do to you?"

"Damon and Sage exploited me, they got me drunk, had sex with me then while I was sleeping Sage got inside my head and found out that there was more white oak that could kill us."

" That's how Damon found the white oak so quickly he got it out of your head."

Rebekah nods. " if I remember you kept one of the stakes when you returned them to Klaus."

Stefan looks down embarrassed " Yes I was mad Klaus took my free will, and separated us in the twenties, killed my girlfriend at the time and wanted to use her body as a blood bag. I wanted him to pay for that."

" You helped take him down then you needed him."

"True and next time I see Damon I will talk with him, I am done with him hurting people I love."

Xxx

Estherand Finn are in the greenhouse trying to locate the others when everything starts shaking. "What is going on?"

" I don't know only a very powerful witch could do this. Find and bring me the witch while I continue to look for the others."

Xxx

Caroline told Klaus where Davina's house was and he pulls in to the driveway, Davina had to invite him into her house on the promise that he would never threaten any of her friends or herself. He begrudging agreed. " We need to be a united front against whoever is in our home."

" It's what Elijah would want."

"So since we are doing things the Elijah way does that mean we can't kill whoever is in the compound."

Klaus glances over at his brother who is leaning against the couch arms folded over his chest with Davina next to him." We are still going to kill them."

Xxx

The Mikaelsons pulled into the garage and hear heartbeats in the courtyard. Klaus, Kol and Rebekah have Caroline, Davina and Stefan behind them Caroline pulls Enzo behind her.

They had vamped from the garage to the courtyard and they see Marcel, Cami and Hayley laying completely still Marcel and Hayley Necks are twisted, they can hear Cami's heartbeat so unfortunately she's still alive. Marcel and Cami are near the fountain and Hayley is halfway in the doorway. In front of Hayley there is a young brown haired boy helping a blonde haired woman standing up.

" Oh my god."

"How?"

Rebekah gasps and looses her balance falling to the ground bringing Stefan down with her, falling on him.

The young boy looks at them and gets the biggest smile on his face. Klaus being the oldest of the three steps forward and is now an inch away from them he reaches out and places his hand on the twelve year old to make sure he's real with a shaky voice he says. " Henrik."

" Hello Nik."

Rebekah tries to get up but her limbs are not working so Stefan has to help her up. Kol places a hand on her back they both vamp to Klaus and place a hand on Henrik's shoulders to make sure this is real. " Your really alive."

" Hello bekah, Hi Kol."

Klaus, Kol and Rebekah surround Henrik and embrace him in a huge hug. They've missed him so much.

Xxx

Caroline smiles at the family reunion and whispers to everyone else " We should go."

Everyone nods as they turn to leave Enzo whispers " Should we leave the intruders here to wake up during this."

" I had forgotten about them everyone grab someone."

Caroline grabs Cami, Stefan grabs Marcel and Enzo grabs Hayley, Davina casts a spell to keep them unconscious while they are being moved. They return Cami to her apartment. Marcel to his loft. They drop Hayley off in the bayou and as they are leaving one of werewolves calls to them " Your just going to leave her in the middle of the bayou not even with her pack?"

As Caroline knows and has spent more time in the bayou then the rest she takes this. " We didn't know where her pack was we just wanted her away from people as she has gone crazy. Plus who are you?"

" Her fiancé Jackson. And you?"

" Caroline, Enzo, Davina and Stefan. I'm looking out for everyone's best interests at heart and Hayley is a danger to everyone."

Jackson looks down at Hayley then at the vampires and witch " If you knew what she has lost you wouldn't be treating her this way?"

Caroline knows exactly what Hayley has lost but that doesn't mean to go on a rampage. " I know more about Hayley then you think. Enough about her where's Oliver I need a word with him."

" How do you know Oliver?"

" That's between us, where is he?"

Jackson avoids eye contact " He died, he got mixed up with witches and vampires." When he said vampires he made sure to look Caroline straight in the eye.

" I didn't get him killed I had no part in that there is a pretty good chance I wasn't even in the city when he died."

Jackson picks up Hayley and without another word walks away. Enzo turns to Caroline once he knows Jackson is out of hearing distance " Your becoming quite the queen."

Caroline smiles at the compliment from Enzo when Stefan says " Not just that your becoming more original."

" Thank you."

Davina chimes in " I need to talk with you it can wait till tomorrow."

Caroline looks over at her silently asking how important is it. Davina shakes her head.

Klaus is the first to notice the blonde woman standing In front of them. When they came in he saw Henrik help her up so Henrik must know her. " Henrik do you know this woman?"

Henrik, Kol and Rebekah look at the blonde woman in the doorway Kol is the first to speak " I remember you from 1914."

" Yeah you were Kol's date to the Christmas party."

Klaus looks between everyone " I was at the Christmas party how do I not remember her."

Kol glances up at his big brother " You were too busy putting on a show of putting a dagger in my chest then leaving it in for a hundred years."

" You were trying to kill me I was protecting myself."

Kol jaw drops in shock he never knew why he was daggered in 1914. " I never tried to kill you. I was helping my witches make a dagger that would work on you, so you would know how it felt. We might dagger, snap each other's neck and fight with each other but never actually try to kill each other. No matter how many times you've daggered me your still my big brother."

Klaus is shocked but Kol's confession. " Both Elijah and Rebekah tried to actually kill me. Elijah wanted your coffins he stuck his hand in my chest and was ready to rip my heart out. Rebekah told Mikael where we were so he could kill me."

" Elijah had some issues before Esther did what ever she did to him. As for Rebekah let me guess she did it for love but not for the love of her boyfriend now."

Rebekah knows it was stupid to contact Mikael in 1919. She didn't think long term she was so focused on the present. "In hindsight I shouldn't of done what I did. Yes I contracted him so I could be with Marcel. I should of seen the signs that Marcel would never choose me first. He choose vampirism, the city and Davina over me. When Mikael found us in Chicago Stefan's 1st action was to keep me safe. I've never had anyone like that."

The blonde woman and Henrik have been watching them have this moment. " I wasn't Kol's date. My names Freya, Freya Mikaelson, Esther and Mikael's first child."

Rebekah looks back at her brothers who are as shocked as she is by the information. " Did you know we had a older sister?"

" Finn was right for once in his miserable life he was telling the truth."

Rebekah and Klaus give Kol curious looks, Kol explains " When Esther was trying to find you Nik told me to get Finn to question him. Finn told me that we have another sister named Freya. I didn't believe him at the time because after he told me about the sister he went on about a curse and us impregnating people. So I thought he was lying and put him back in his coffin."

Rebekah looks over at Kol with seriously written all over her face. " You put human Finn in a coffin I know we don't like Finn but we never intentionally kill a sibling."

" Unless your in what you think is love then it's fair game."

Rebekah elbows Klaus in the ribs. " I gave him air holes he should be fine."

Freya has been watching them and how they interact it's very curious they insult and hurt each other but love each other. " I will answer every question you have tomorrow, it's late and you've been driving a lot today."

" How do you know we've been driving a lot today?"

Freya holds up her left index finger and there's a slice mark at the top of her finger. " Blood."

Freya and Henrik begin to walk away when Klaus puts a hand on Henrik's shoulder " Henrik is staying with us, he is alive and reunited with his family, he's staying here."

" Freya is my family too she is the reason I'm standing here."

Rebekah comes up to them " Let's let Henrik decide. Who do you want to go with Freya or stay with us?"

Henrik looks up at Freya who nods. He wraps his arms around her waist and she leans down and whispers in his ear. " It's ok I know how long you've waited for this, I'll see you tomorrow."

" I know how long you've waited too. He'll come around."

He lets go and looks up at his oldest sister " I love you."

" I love you."

Caroline, Enzo, Stefan and Davina are walking through the quarter. When they stop at a creepy looking dark mansion with a busted fence."Davina do know what this is?"

" A prison for witches. All witches are told growing up if we miss use our magic we will end up here. It's called the Fauline cottage. When I was on the other side I heard the ancestors talking about how if the harvest girls get resurrected they should tell the elders to put me in the Fauline cottage because of what they call misuse of magic. I call it protecting myself."

Caroline puts her arm around Davina's shoulders " None of us will ever let you end up here. Your part of our family."

Davina smiles up at her, her life has changed so much over the years she went from a young witch being happy with her friends learning magic to being witch enemy number one in a span of a couple of months. Her parents are dead her former friends are dead. Caroline saved her and brought her back from the other side and with doing so she was able to put Katherine back and bring Kol back. Caroline, Katherine and Nadia embraced her and made her feel happy and part of a family again.

They watch as Freya leaves and Rebekah puts her arm around Henrik's shoulders " We are all so happy your alive."

Rebekah sees klaus walking out. " Where are you going?"

" It's been a long day I am happy Henrik is alive and back with us but I need a drink so I'm going to go find one."

" Nik wait up I need a drink too."

Rebekah staying with Henrik yells to her brothers retreating " Bring me someone."

Nadia leans in the doorway to the living room next to her mom who is watching Elijah and Hope play. " You've gotten everything you've want."

Katherine smiles back at her daughter " Yes for the longest time the only thing I kept telling myself was I wanted was my freedom but I wanted to find you and hope that you can understand that I did not want to give you up. I was crying when my father took you from the room without even letting me hold or name you. Couple years after I turned and after I found my family dead I prayed he would not find you and thought he had since I searched every cottage and every family for you and could not find you."

Nadia's eyes widen in surprise " You looked for me?"

" Yes."

Nadia's eye water and Katherine brings her daughter in for a hug. She missed her growing up and the last five hundred years she is not missing anymore.

She smiles down at Henrik " Come on I'll give you a tour of the compound. This home is much bigger then our hut we had in Mystic Falls."

" Bekah I've already seen the inside and looked around Freya and I waited here for hours we had dinner, fought people and found Finn's coffin it's empty."

Rebekah brings Henrik to the downstairs living room this one is right in the entrance with the pictures of her, Klaus, Elijah and Kol. Although Elijah's picture doesn't look like him. " How did you get resurrected?"

"Freya, after I died I went to the other side but while I was there the ancestors found me and told me that since I'm a Mikaelson I will be shunned and refused the acceptance of finding peace. I didn't want to be shunned I ran from them but I could also see all of you even Freya which I thought was weird since I didn't know her. She appeared on the other side one day and I met her. When I told her my name she was surprised and told me who she was. She told me she could create a chambre de chasse where she could place me to hide from the ancestors. In there my mind would age but my body doesn't I would be able to practice and control my magic I hadn't tapped into yet. I had told Freya where you buried my body. When she was alive this time she used my ashes to resurrect me."

"You saw us all while on the other side. Did you see everything?"

Henrik nods " When I was in the chambre de chasse one of the things I had asked Freya to put in was a way to see my siblings. I saw ever body drained, and every daggering but through the hard moments I also saw the happy moments when you were all together happy and laughing. Watching all of you made me feel like I was part of it too."

Rebekah is shocked and surprised her little brother has changed so much in his death. She is also ashamed he saw them killing she doesn't want Henrik to think his family is monsters. " I'm sorry you saw us killing people."

Henrik puts his hand on his sisters " I know why you did it. I saw mother turn everyone into vampires, you need to feed to survive. I do have one question, where's Elijah? Nik, Kol and you are here but where's Elijah."

" Um. I'm going to let Nik answer that. So when he gets back you can ask him that. Or ask Kol they've both been here with Elijah."

Caroline and company are walking down bourbon street when they see Kol headed into an alley. " If Kol's out here what are the chances that Klaus is with him. What are they up too."

They vamp to the alley and there Klaus and Kol are both sucking dry two woman while a man is off to the side. " Seriously I thought you finding out who is in the compound."

Klaus finishes his girl and drops her to the ground " We did and after we needed a drink. I'll tell you who they were later. Rebekah is waiting for her meal."

" Whatever is it safe to return to the compound?"

" Yeah we got rid of one but the most important one stayed."

Kol and Davina turn to walk back to Davina's house when Klaus calls to him " Kol I'm going to need your help tomorrow. We should also have breakfast and make the compound feel like a real home for him."

Kol nods he agrees and it's still hard to process what happened in the last couple of hours. " Yeah I'll just sleep in my old room." He looks down at Davina " What do you say darling?"

" I have an old room at the compound too I'll get some clothes and be there."

Xxx

Everyone returns to the compound when they enter the living room only Rebekah is there waiting for them. " Here you go bekah, where is he?"

" He was tired I gave him a bedroom and he went to sleep."

" Did he say anything?"

While Rebekah tells her brothers what Henrik said Caroline gives Enzo a room, Davina goes the room she was placed in when before she died and Klaus was using her as leverage over Marcel and the witches. Stefan decided to wait for Rebekah.

Xxx

Kol is changing when there's a knock on the door " Come in." He had just took his shirt off when he turns towards the opening door and Davina's in the doorway " What's wrong darling?"

" I'm sleeping in here with you I can't be in my old room. The last time I was in that room was the day I died."

" Of course." Kol reaches out his hand and and she smiles and places her hand in his.

Xxx

After her meal Rebekah goes upstairs and finds Stefan wondering around. " Hey even after all the craziness of today. Still choose me?"

Stefan smiles at her with love beaming all over his face " Yes. My whole life even when I was human if I did anything I was judged and told stop. When I was human it was by my father. When I turned a vampire every time I enjoy the aspects of being a vampire I would be told that's not who you are stop. There are only two times in my life where I could have unadulterated fun and not be told stop. In the twenties with you and Klaus, and Mystic falls a couple years when we reunited to find the cure. You make me feel alive."

Rebekah smiles at him she's finally happy. She leans over and kisses him.

Klaus walks into his bedroom and hears Caroline's conversation on the balcony. " I don't care what time it is or that I woke you and Elena up Damon. Tell me how my how my mother is."

" Almost two days, well since its almost four in the morning you haven't cared to call for two days."

" I've been a little busy and phones work both ways you could of called too."

Damon stretches in his bed trying not to rewake Elena who has fallen back to sleep, when the phone rang he told her it was Enzo. She didn't care and went back to sleep. Damon cares a lot about Liz too and is putting his sarcastic jokes aside to relay this message. " She's a fighter your mom but here's the thing she doesn't have much fight left in her. It's getting bad you should be here."

Caroline puts her hand over her mouth and nods. " I'll be there as soon as I can."

" One more thing bring Enzo I told Elena he called so he's my Albi."

" Fine Enzo and I will be there as soon as we can."

Caroline turns around and jumps a little she didn't know Klaus had entered the room. She finds him leaning up against their bed in a pair of sweats. " You shouldn't sneak up on people and how much did you hear?"

"Not much, why put Damon on watching your mom. Damon's not responsible for anyone if your names not Elena."

" I know but in Damon's strange way he does care for my mom and he doesn't want her to die either."

As Caroline said die her eyes started to water and Klaus pulls her into his chest, he runs his hands up and down her back comforting her, he just lets her cry into his naked chest. Klaus picks her up bridal style and carries her over to their bed he places her on her side of the bed and gently kisses her forehead. A couple minutes later Caroline wipes her tears and looks up at him. "Who was here earlier?"

Klaus smiles down at her from crying about her mom to asking who was in the house she doesn't miss a beat. " Henrik is alive. The woman is claiming to be the child that died in the old world making Esther and Mikael move Finn and unborn Elijah to Mystic Falls, grow apart and that's how Esther met Ansel and had me. Her name is Freya."

"Wow, Henrik is alive that's amazing I know you all missed him so much. You don't believe that Freya is your older sister. What if she is and where has she been all these centuries?"

" I'm happy Henrik is alive it does resolve some of the guilt from his murder. That's the question my love where has Freya been all theses centuries. If she was alive why did Esther say she was dead. Now enough talking about family I have something for you."

Caroline's eyes widen in curiosity. She watches as Klaus goes over to his suitcase and pulls out two jewelry boxes one big and one medium. He places them in front of her while he gets back on his side.

" I have three presents two here and one personal which one do you want first?"

Caroline knows Klaus doesn't do personal so that gift must be very special. "Before I open them I want to say something."

" Yes my love."

" I've spend a lot of time thinking about it, and I love being a vampire I'm strong, ageless, fearless, powerful. At the end of the end of the day I'm still all those things but I'm also a neurotic control freak and an overachiever. So I would like to become an original like you."

Klaus leans forward and pecks her on the lips. He is excited she choose to become an original. " I'll tell Davina tomorrow."

She picks up the medium size jewelry box and inside is a three row diamond necklace, the first row is oval, then two rows of teardrops the third row has the teardrops hanging off.

" I love it, I'm going to wear it tomorrow thank you." She kisses him on the lips.

Caroline opens the bigger jewelry box next and inside is a diamond tiara that matches the necklace. " Oh my god. " She looks up at Klaus and gives him her biggest most happiest full of love smile. " Every queen should have a tiara."

She leans forward while he places it on her head, she goes over to the mirror and looks at herself with the tiara and necklace on. Klaus comes up behind her. " You are the most beautiful queen I've seen my love."

Caroline blushes at the compliment, after she places the jewelry back in their boxes she sits back on the bed. Klaus takes a breath and finally reveals what his heart has been telling him for years and everyone has been telling him for months. " I love you."

She gasps she always knew Klaus loved her but it's one thing knowing its totally different being told by him not by someone else. He wants her she found someone who wants her and only her. She told Bonnie once that she is never the one nobody wants her. She is finally the one someone wants her. " I love you."

Klaus breath shutters he never thought Caroline would say it back to him. He's never had someone outside of his family who didn't want something from him say/actually love him for him. She's seen all aspects of him and still not only wants him she loves him.
