Dream or vision

An opening in the forest, surrounded by trees, completely empty but filled with so many voices. They are all saying the same thing, she is just unable to understand them. She tries to scream but no sound leaves her. The voices are moving closer and it hurts in her whole body.

Once it gets quiet, she's looking down over an island, filled with magic that she can fell flowing through her. "He can't wake, it must not happen." She can understand the voices now.

They repeat the same sentence over and over again, it feels like she is going crazy. "who is he?" she asks without an answer, the voices have gone quiet once more.

A face starts to take shape in front of her, one she recognises but can't put a name to. "He has answers." The voices start to repeat this time.

What is happening to her, what did Cyrena do, because this must be her doing, Caroline thinks. How can this be natures plan for her?

Startled she sits up in bed. It's the second time in two nights that she has had that dream. The first time, Tyler embraced her, calmed the panic that filled her. At that time, she just wanted to flee, she wanted to run from whatever she is supposed to stop.

The calmer she had gotten, the less of the dream she remembered. Now she's already calm, but the dream will not leave her, it stays vivid in her mind.

She looks around her in Tyler's room, but he is nowhere to be found. She reaches for her phone that is showing several missing calls from her friends and a text from her boyfriend.

At Gilberts.
They have Klaus trapped.

She must have missed a lot. How can they have Klaus trapped, how is that even possible and what are they planning on doing with him. She can only imagine what may happen if he gets out, wanting revenge for whatever her friends have done now.

Needing more information about the situation she calls Tyler and it just gets worse, Kol is dead, Elena and Jeremy killed him and with that news, she is filled with horror, this wasn't supposed to happen.

When most of the day has gone and Tyler has still not returned from the Gilbert house, she feels like there is no other option but for her to go there herself and try to convince him to come home.

She finds her boyfriend standing in the kitchen with a glass of bourbon. "You're still here? What are you doing?" what could he possibly get from spending the day staring at Klaus.

"Gloating." Is the answer he gives her.

The next voice that she hears is Klaus as he comes as close to the barrier as he can. "Hello, Caroline." is it horrible that she loves the way her name rolls of his tongue.

She meets his eyes for a while, noticing that his brother's death has hit him hard, what were her friends thinking, how are they any better than the Mikaelson siblings right now.

Looking back at Tyler, she tries to focus on why she came here in the first place. "Come home. Don't stoop to his level."

"He destroyed my life. I plan on being present for every second of his misery until I can kill him myself." Her boyfriend isn't planning on making this easier for her, and what is he planning now that is going to go horribly wrong as everything else they ever planned against Klaus.

Sighing she comes to the realisation that the two hybrids are going to spend their time trying to prove who's the alfa, not that she finds it hard to answer, would they really fight for it, she is quite certain that Klaus would win.

Needing something to distract herself with and Tyler as well she decides to start cleaning up the mess around her. "Fine. You can gloat and multitask. This place is a disaster. Starting with a horrific burnt corpse." She takes out a tablecloth to cover Kol with.

Even if she and Klaus aren't on the best terms, she does hope to ease his pain if he doesn't have to spend the whole time here staring at his brother's corpse.

Once more she wonders about her friends' motives, having killed two of Klaus brothers, constantly trying to kill him and his family and now trapping him in a house with his dead brother, and they think he's the monster.

They're not any better, as long as it's not one of them, their ready to let anyone die if it can give them what they want. And here they are, believing themselves to have the moral high ground.

Covering Kol and crouching down to make sure he's completely covered her hand touches his face. Something she can't describe happens, it's like she can't move, she thinks she can hear the two hybrids worry about her, it's just that she can't hear them clearly.

Soon other voices take over, the ones she heard in her dream. And just as in the dream she wants to scream but she can't, nothing comes out of her mouth. "He has answers, he wasn't supposed to die." Is all she can hear over and over again.

The second he notices that something is wrong, he's at the barrier, pressing against it, wanting to get out, to get to Caroline. She obviously needs help if her quiet scream is to go by.

Tyler is trying, he must give the boy that at least but the closer he gets the greyer his skin becomes like he's being desiccated. If he wants to survive this he better keeps his distant.

From the angle Klaus is standing he can just distinguish how Caroline's eyes are shining in silver, in his thousand years, this is something he has never seen. Wherever she is, Cyrena has a lot of questions to answer.

The sound of someone gasping for breath is what takes his concentration of Caroline. Following it the smell of smoke and burnt flesh start to disappear.

Caroline is losing consciousness and the person that catches her from hitting the floor is his brother. "Bloody hell."

Klaus can only stare at the seen in front of him. "Kol?" he manages to get out, unsure if this is real.

Their eyes meet, and he can see that his brother is just as confused as Klaus self. "Nik, am I alive?" Kol takes in his surroundings he lays a hand over his heart, trying to make sure that this is happening.

"What did you do to her?" he had almost forgotten that Tyler was still in the room, most likely unpleased with the whole situation.

Kol gets up from the floor with Caroline carefully hold in his arms. "The better question is, what did she do to me?" he says while studying Caroline intently. "I'm pretty sure that she was a vampire last time when Nik pined after her."

"She is a vampire." Both he and Tyler says at the same time.

Kol shakes his head and ignores Tyler's question of what he is doing when he passes through the barrier with her in his arm. Placing her on the couch Klaus immediately takes his place beside her.

Looking at her now, he knows that his brother is right, she is showing no signs of being a vampire, but she doesn't feel human either. He wonders how he could have missed it before. "Have you ever seen anything like this?" he asks his brother.

"Seen might be the wrong word." Kol places himself in an armchair before he continues to answer. "But I have heard witches talk of it, no one believed it even possible.

"Talked about what?" Tyler asks. Not taking his eyes of Caroline he moves as close to the barrier as he dares. "What has happened to her?"

"She's pure, completely." He hopes Kol has more to this explanation because he is confused, and it must show since his brother continues without being asked. "I didn't understand myself, the only person the witches believed able to explain it and maybe even succeed in doing it was Cyrena Maganti, and they aren't sure if she exists."

"She exists." Right now, it feels safer to be honest with his brother, hoping that he might be able to help. "She took Caroline to a hidden cabin in the forest, she came to see me too, apparently we had already met, do you remember Marjorie?"

"Wait, the witch that was going to help with your ritual?" Kol wonders and Klaus nods. "She seems to have had an interest in you for quite a while."

Clearing his throat to get the brothers attention they turn towards Tyler. "Can we focus on how to wake her up?"

Being the one with the most knowledge about magic both hybrids turn their eyes back to Kol. "Ask the witch who did this, I don't have all the answers."

Speaking of the devil, the front door opens and all three of them sees towards Cyrena. "You needed me." Kol rises and Klaus guesses that like himself his brother realises that if the stories are true, then Cyrena can pose quite the danger.

Tyler on the other hand seems to have no such understanding. "Wake her!" he is marching angerly towards the witch and grabs her around the throat when she doesn't answer. "Didn't you hear me?"

Waving her hand, Tyler flies backwards slamming into the wall. "I heard you." She glances between the men. "But she can't wake before she becomes pure again." She starts to explain. "To give someone their life back is dark magic, even if it is natures will."

"And how do we do that?" Klaus asks.

Cyrena smiles at him, almost kindly. "Someone has to take the dark energy from her, with a kiss." She lays her fingers against her lips. "But doing wrong, that person could die." The look she shares with him holds the truth in her words.

"Be clearer." Tyler has gathered himself from Cyrenas throw, believing that he is the one that can wake her, he passes through the barrier.

But Cyrena ignores him, keeping her eyes on Klaus that is hesitant of all of this. Maybe he can wake her, but how does he know that she isn't planning something against him.

"She has her destiny, you have yours." The kindness that was in her eyes can now be heard in her voice. "I have waited a long time to fulfil mine."

Sighing he looks back at Caroline, at least now he has somewhat of an answer to what her spells did to him, creating a link of some sort between him and Caroline.

He leans over her, behind him he can hear Tyler complaining but he knows that Cyrena won't let him get in the way, it's not in her plans.

When his lips meet hers, a warmth is spread through him, filling him with a strength he's never felt before. You could think that taking all that dark magic from someone shouldn't feel this good.

Soon she starts to answer the kiss, and for a short second when her eyes open he can see his own golden ones in her silver.
