A/N- hey guys thank you for reading and the support. Please review I love them. For everyone wondering when we will see Klaus and Caroline coming together, I have it planned out for the end of the next chapter.

Another night, another dream. This time she was on the outside looking in, watching the scene unfold as those it was a movie. It was the night of the Mikaelson Ball. She watched herself enter the room in the gorgeous blue dress Klaus had given her. She smiled at the memory mouthing the words she knew she would say. Her attention was torn from the scene by the slightest pressure on hand. Looking to her left and she realized Klaus was standing next to her holding her hand as he too watched the scene unfold. He gave her a small smile before turning his attention back to the dream versions of themselves. They were now on the dance floor.

"Don't" she heard herself say.

"On to more mannered subjects then like how ravishing you look in that dress" Dream Klaus replied.

Suddenly the room began to shift morphing into the town square on the night they had fled Mystic Falls. Looking down Caroline realized they were still dressed as they had been at the ball. Klaus in his tuxedo, her in the blue ball gown.

Knowing all too well the events of that evening, she dropped Klaus's hand and began to run towards her mother who was being approached from behind by a traveler. But the ball gown was too thick too heavy and it slowed her down. She watched with new horror as the Caroline from that night arrived a millisecond too late to stop the traveler from slitting her mother's throat. She watched herself snap the traveler's neck before catching her mother's falling body.

Klaus appeared beside her then, taking her hand and leading her into the center of the fray. She let him as she watched herself rocking back and forth cradling her mother. Tears began to soak her face as her mother's blood began to soak the front of her body.

As she and Klaus started to waltz, turning and spinning in Klaus's arms she watched with new eyes as the terrible events unfolded. She watched as Elena snapped the neck of a traveler, who had been making his to her back as she held on to her mother's body. She watched the light leave Jeremy's eyes as Markos ripped his heart from his chest, and dropped it to the ground with a sickening wet thud. She watched as Damon and Stefan made their way through a group of travelers snapping necks and tearing out throats are they went. She watched as Sloan stabbed Luke. She watched as Tyler killed Sloan. She watched as Markos forced Enzo to hallucinate. How Enzo had called Maggie's name right before Markos severed his head from his body. She heard the bloody curdling scream that came from Elena the moment she realized her brother was dead. She watched as Markos killed Liv and claimed the amulet. She watched as she and Elena through themselves onto Markos determined to make him pay for the death of the people they loved. How for a second it seemed like they were winning, before the remaining travelers began to chat. She succeeded in wrestling the amulet from Markos grasp, but not before Markos grabbed Elena around the throat.

She watched was Markos lifted Elena in the air and shook her saying "Give me the anchor doppelganger, you can't hide her from me forever"

The second before Markos plunged the travelers knife into Elena, his body fell to the ground, the sound of a gun shot rang out. As all the travelers began to fall one by one, multiple gun shots filling the air, she looked to the top of the Grille where she knew Matt was perched with a high powered hunting rifle. As the waltz between her and Klaus came to an end, she watched as Markos rose from the dead, and they fled into the night, taking the amulet and Bonnie with them.

As tears continued to stream down her face she looked into Klaus's blue eyes as if to ask why this happened. His only reply was the words "Come home Caroline".

As Caroline awoke the first thing she noticed was that her cheeks were wet, as though the tears from her dream had been real. The second thing she noticed was the soft breathing of a sleeping person. She turned her head to look at the person sleeping next to her, lean body, sandy blond hair. For her a second her breathe caught in throat as she thought Klaus, but then she remember the night before, and her need for a distraction. Most defiantly not Klaus, crap what was his name. For the life of her she couldn't remember. B something. Nope. T something. Nope. Wait wait. It was a J, his name started with a J. Josh she decided. Tapping the sleeping figure on the shoulder she said "Umm hey Josh you need to get up"

Without opening his eyes the man replied "Jordan my name is Jordan"

Crap. Caroline thought to herself.
"Well either way you need to get up and I need you to look at me." Caroline commanded

As the man opened his eyes and looked at her, she stared straight back starting her compulsion, after all killing her lovers felt wrong. The whole black widow thing was for rare and desperate times only.

"Last night you will remember going home with a red haired women to her apartment downtown, you will remember that you had a great time but she was kinda kinky and that why you have a bruise and bite mark on your neck. Other than thinking she was a great lay, you will never think of her again, do you understand"

The man nodded.

"Oh and don't scream" she finished as her face darkened and she bit in the flesh of his neck.

Bethany awoke in the same position she had fallen asleep. Laying on her stomach her hand out stretched holding her grandmother's grimoire. Almost a full month had passed since her last casting and she was searching for a new and improved way to reach Caroline. She had found a spell to call to a lost love, by it would require her dad's blood. Something she couldn't just ask for without a hundred questions. She could always nick him during her sword lessons and get it that way but it felt wrong to steal her dad's blood even if it was for his own benefit.

She would come back to it later after coffee she decided. Putting the book under her pillow she stretched, and noticing the entire house seemed to busseling. Somewhere downstairs she could make out the sounds of her father and uncle arguing. Not wasting any time to change out of her black tank top and bright pink fuzzy hello kitty pajama pants she as quietly as possible she flashed downstairs. Leaning against the wall just outside the kitchen she listened.

"I don't care, Elijah" was all she heard before her father abruptly stopped what he was saying and called "Good morning little love"

Damn. She had been caught, she have never quite mastered the skill of ease dropping on her father. If he didn't want her know something she wouldn't he was a sneaky bastard that way.

"Good morning" Bethany said nonchalantly walking in to the kitchen going directly to the fridge and pulling out a blood bag. Turning to get a cup she realized that there was a fourth person in the room, a brunette woman.

"Aunt Davina" Bethany smiled. "What are you doing here?"

It was no secret that Davina and her dad didn't exactly getting along, something to do with her dad killing Davina's first love. But after Bethany's magic began to show Davina had taken her under her wing and the two had finally found a way to co-exist.

Davina enveloped Bethany in a hug and replied "Just a short visit I had some business to discuss with your uncle but I have to run"

Davina turned to Elijah and said "About that matter we discussed trust me we will handle things on our end"

As Davina exited the kitchen Bethany turned to her dad and uncle "So what's up"

She watched as her dad gave her uncle a warning glare "Nothing sweetheart"

Filling a cup half way up with blood, and moving to the coffee pot to fill up the other half Bethany raised an eye brow questioningly "Uh huh sure than what's all this" waving her around at all the people who were cleaning and preparing the house, almost as if the queen of Sheba would arriving soon.

Bethany continued to look back and forth between her dad and her uncle waiting for a reply. Her uncle gave her father a knowing smirk but said nothing.

"Your mother would like you come to the bayou for the next few days the Northwest Pacific clan is coming in for the full moon and she would like you there" her father deflected.

Bethany gave a frustrated huff and took a sip of her coffee/blood mixture. "Why they just want to see the miracle Mikaelson baby all grown up and that wasn't answering my question"

"Now now little love" Klaus began in a chiding tone "You know it's not just about that, with your mother's place in the hierarchy, it's important that the crescent clan, which includes you, presents themselves with as much strength as possible. Seeing a strong future generation is a big part of that, and the Wolves of Wolf Lake could be a powerful ally"

Bethany rolled her eyes.

"Mom has Riley and Andrea for that and I am technically not a crescent and the Cates family is just looking for the next mythical white wolf which I am not" she stated matter of factly.

Her half brother and sister were true crescent wolves, but she was a Mikaelson, a fact she was damn proud of. Although they might be half sibling they whole loved each other, never once had she felt like an outsider looking in like her father had. Not even with her step father, Jackson, who had always treated her like she was his own. And not because her mother would never have tolerated anything less, and not because her father would have had his head on a silver platter if he thought for a second she was being treated as less than her siblings, but because he genuinely loved her. He truly thought of her as his child, no different than her siblings, and for that she had always known she was lucky.

Her dad's word interrupted her thoughts "Yes but you are your mother's first born, and it would go a long way to smooth things over between the two of you"

Bethany nodded, things had been strained between her and her mother lately. Right before she had turned 21 she had made the decision to move to the French Quarter full time and live with her dad and it had hurt her mother. Her mom had not been ready for her to leave the protection of pack, had not been ready to let her child go, and it had cause tension between them.

Bethany looked up at her father from her drink and studied his face for a moment. Oh My God he was trying to get her out of the house for a few days Bethany realized. He was trying to hide something from her. So proud of her for catching his manipulation before he had succeeded, she gave him a self-satisfied smug smirk.

"You know if you wanted to get me out of the house for few days, you would have had way better luck with young lady get in the car. Using reason, logic, and the right and noble thing to do is Uncle Elijah's game. Now let's get back to the point what's going on?"

"So stubborn, wonder where she gets it from" Bethany could hear her uncle muttering from behind her.

"Fine then young lady get in the car" Klaus said

"Nah you missed your chance to use that one, so once again I ask what's the happs yo" Bethany laughed
"You might as well tell her Niklaus. She going to keep digging until she finds out, and she's a member of this family, she has a right to know." Elijah concluded.

"Ha" Bethany shouted turning to point at her uncle. Turning back towards her father, hand still out stretched. "See what did I say reason, logic and the right thing to do"

Bethany watched the hard lines in her father's face begin to crease, and she knew she was only seconds away from completely losing this battle. Any second now her father would decree she was going to the bayou whether she liked it or not. She needed to switch tactic and fast, because being a smart ass was getting her nowhere.

Bargaining she decided. Giving her dad her most award winning smile she said "How about this you tell me what's going on and I don't touch grandma's grimoire for a wwwhole week"

Something about Bethany having that book bothered her dad. It was as if he thought somehow her grandma could poison her against him with it.

Although the hardness of his features did not change Bethany saw the smallest flicker of amusement in her dad's eye at her change in tactics before he countered "One month"

"8 days" Bethany fired back

"One month"

Bethany let out a huff then excitement hit her as thought of a counter offer "Oow 10 days and when the North Atlantic clan comes in, for the next full moon I promise to be there all bright eyed and bushy tailed"

"Two weeks and you're there for the clan coming in. Final offer" Klaus replied the tiniest of a smile playing on his lips.

"Deal" Bethany smiled.

Klaus gave her a nod and then motion for Elijah to tell her.

Bethany turned to her uncle Elijah feeling extremely proud of herself, and waited.

Elijah cleared his throat and smiled "Your aunt is coming for a visit"

Bethany's whole face light up and she squealed with excitement.

After allowing Bethany a moment to contain herself, Elijah added "And Niklaus you will be on your best behavior because she is bring a guest"

"Aunt Rebekah and Uncle Matt are coming" Bethany gasped

Somewhere on the Otherside

A young man with golden hair and bright blue eyes stood watching the events in the Mikaelson kitchen unfold. They were all starting to come together. If anyone could bring them together it would be Bethany, he had faith in her.

Bonnie appeared beside him.

"What are you doing Hun?" Bonnie asked as she looked around at the Mikaelsons who couldn't see her.

"Nothing just watching, Rebekah is coming home and she is bring Matt" the young man replied.

"So they are starting to come together then that means the time is approaching. Good. It's about time they have all been on the run too long, and you don't deserve to be trapped here any longer." Bonnie smiled.

"Aunt Bonnie do you think she should be bring them all together. What if it's too dangerous for her or the magic or Markos is too strong?" the young man asked

"If anyone can handle bring them together it's your sister, trust me, they have to defeat Markos to bring you into the world of the living. It's where you should be. You have to remember you never died hunny, you're supposed to have a life, a real one with your family. Trust me, if your mother had thought for a second that you were possible, let alone in existence at the time we did the spell that passengered a part of me into each of them, she would have never gone through with it. She would have never had risked you" Bonnie concluded.

Bonnie smiled at the young man who had brought her so much joy in the last almost 21 she had been trapped on the otherside hidden away from Markos grasp. To say it was the surprise of a life time when she figured out she was pregnant was an understatement. When the Mystic Falls gang had found a way to passenger her into the four of them that held a piece of her, she was sure none of them had even thought it was possible that they were pregnant. Whether it was the spell combining part of herself with her friends that had allowed for a child to be come to term, or something special about the boy himself Bonnie wasn't completely sure, in fact she hadn't even known whose child she had been carrying until, he had been born with golden hair and bright blue eyes. His birth had saved the otherside from falling apart, a living being trapped among dead, was the balance to Markos who was supposed to be dead being in the world of the living. He was their savior, and no one on the otherside would ever let anything happen to him, they all loved him.

"It's time for your mother to come Mate and time for you to go be with our family" Kol smiled at his nephew joining the little group of watchers.

A/N Did anyone caught the reference to Stefan's old show Wolf Lake?

And let me apologize now because updates are going to be slower than I planned…I am getting married in just over 4 months, so right now wedding planning is taking up the majority of my free time, and leaving me very little time to write.
