This is a lot like the original episode, but do bear in mind that I changed one or two things for the ending to be believable.


"I just wanna see where we are." Caroline protested

"You know when we split up; you did have the option of going with Stefan." Klaus replied wearily.

"Yeah and leave Bonnie's life in your hands, fat chance." She said. "Do you even know how to read a map?"

"Yes, and do you know who taught me? My friend Magellan." He snapped

"Wow, you had a friend." She replied and he rolled his eyes. Luckily it was dark, and she had refused to walk beside him, so she couldn't see. "Was he drawn to your darkness too?" She taunted him

"Actually, I was referring to Damon and Elena when I said that but clearly it struck a chord with you." Klaus snapped again.

"That's because it's not true!" Caroline protested. "There is no allure to darkness." She stated.

"Really" Klaus replied, turning around and making her skid to a stop. "So you've never felt the attraction that comes when someone who is capable of doing terrible things, for some reason, cares only about you?" He asked. She stared hard at him and didn't say anything. "You're more like Elena than you care to admit." Klaus said.

"She says that she sees the good in Damon. Or at least she did when her humanity was still on." Caroline replied slowly. "But what good can I see in you." She asked rhetorically. Klaus stared at her. If she wasn't trying to stand her ground, she would've noticed how his face had contorted, hurt by her words.

"We're here." He said, and she looked away. "Although judging by the lack of witches, here is not the correct location."

"They're linked, Bonnie's gonna kill them." Stefan said

"Not if the witches kill her first." Klaus prompted, and shoved Stefan into a tree, pinning him to it.

"Klaus, we need to save her." Caroline whispered hurriedly.

"How? The only way to stop the witches is to kill them and then Silas, gets what he wants." Klaus replied almost casually. Stefan had been staring at him, and his glance turned to Caroline. Caroline caught his eye then turned to the witches, who were gathered in a circle, fires lit by their magic; and her best friend, laying down in the middle. Being controlled by Silas.

"Spirits! Free her soul. Free her from darkness!" The witch kneeling behind her called out, tightly holding a dagger pointed at Bonnie. Bonnie yelped. And then shrieked. Her cry sounded through the forest. She writhed in place, and Caroline stared at the scene, wanting so badly to do something. Klaus stood there beside her, almost calmly staring. Caroline sped to the witches' side, and pulled the dagger to sink it into the witches' heart.

The witch screamed in pain.

Klaus who was standing idly by, roared.

One by one, the witches fell, their fires extinguishing as their lives ended.

The forest was dark again, as the last witch fell.

Caroline looked around again. Klaus stared at her, Stefan stared at Bonnie who lay still on the ground. Caroline back and started to lose her calm.

"Bonnie." Caroline said, and hurried to her side. Bonnie's eyes were closed, blood running out of her nose. She opened her eyes, and she looked possessed still.

"The triangle is complete." Bonnie said, almost blissfully. Caroline looked her over. Why hasn't she gotten unpossessed yet?

Klaus shoved the shovel into the ground near the spot the witches had died.

"There," Klaus said, looking over his shoulder at Caroline, who sat nearby. "twelve graves for twelve witches." He turned to her and rolled down his sleeves. "Like it never happened." He reached for his jacket. "Only, it did happen," He flung the jacket around and started to put it on. "now Silas has everything he needs to open the gates to hell on earth." He said, pulling his jacket fully on. Caroline kept looking down. She felt as bad as she suspected he wanted her to. She looked up to him.

"You were just gonna let Bonnie die?" She asked venomously.

"I know arithmetic isn't your strong point, but one is still less than twelve." Klaus replied, coming toward her. She got up from her seat

"Yeah but that one, is my best friend." She protested

"Tell yourself whatever you need to so you can sleep at night." Klaus replied sarcastically, smirking at her. Caroline's eyes dropped and she could see the witches around her again.

"I just killed twelve people." She whispered. Klaus's sadistic smirk left in a second and he studied her in concern. Caroline breathed in and out harder, trying to keep her brave face on in front of him. It wasn't working.

"Hey" Klaus murmured to her lightly. His hands rested on her shoulders. If her eyes weren't fogged she would see the same Klaus that was falling in love with her, right in front of her. "Hey" He said again, prompting her eyes to come up to his. "It's alright love, I'm here." He said, opening his arms to her. Slowly, hesitantly, he was watching every movement in her face. Hoping she'd believe him this time, hoping she'd let him be there for her this time. Caroline numbly leaned in and put her head against his jacket shoulder. Klaus stared in surprise and held her. Her sobs became louder and she gripped his jacket. He pushed her hair back and rested his chin on her head.

"Shh, shh, it's alright love, it's all going to be fine." He murmured over and over, and rested his head against hers. He held her tighter and she sobbed for a while longer.
