Chapter 6: A Strange Discovery

"Gravis etaeternumfatofiericito."

A terrible and eternal fate will soon come to pass.

I saw a flash, everything awful that had happened in the past few years suddenly appeared before me. All the lit candles in the room suddenly died, and a harsh wind started to spin around the room. I heard a loud gasp, and then the last thing I expect, crossed my eyes.

Skin, lots of skin penetrated my sight, muscular arms that looked familiar somehow, dark hair, and my own blonde curls. Next I saw Klaus and Rebekah, their father driving his blade through their hearts. Then I saw them drinking blood, Human blood, for the first time.

"I know why you have come here." Ayanna's voice broke through my sight, and everything returned to how it was before I took her hands. "I know where you are from."

"Huh?" I asked, still confused by what I saw, let alone what Ayanna saw.

"You are from the future. I have seen your pain that is caused by a soon approaching event. Unfortunately for you, your magic has not worked the way you expected it would. You are no longer the abomination you were in your own time. Though you still have some of the qualities that you had when you were a vampire" She told me, she was sure of every word she uttered.

"But, how?" I asked, still completely confused.

"Just be glad you got to keep some benefits of being a vampire." She said the word like it was the worst thing that could ever be thought of.

I wondered why I hadn't been craving blood since I've gotten here. I hadn't tested any of my vampire abilities since I've gotten here. I wonder what all has changed, just by me coming here, and the magic?

Suddenly everything around me turned black again, but I could still hear everything around me. Ayanna started to chant again and placed her hands on mine.

"I will not tell Ester where you are from. But you will no longer try to alter your future. I will stop Ester, but you will live out the rest of your time here as a regular girl of this time, with no ulterior motives." I felt my wrist get heavy, and then my head, then the next thing I knew I was back in the Mikaelsons house.

I could hear shouting and ran outside to see the licking flames engulfing the town.

"You did this! You killed all these people!" I demanded as I burst through the door.

"That is not any of your concern anymore." Ayanna told me, patiently. "It is better that they die now, if it helps prevent the Mikaelsons from becoming immortal. I hoped that the tree would be turned completely to ashes, but it will do." She shrugged and continued back to her potion that she was working on before I came in.

"But you are a witch, by definition you are a servant of nature. Why would you burn a tree to the ground, especially the white oak?" I asked quite seriously.

"There is a sapling planted and hidden. Now leave." She said emotionless, and I turned to leave, but then looked back. "I didn't expect you to be like this, so willing to risk innocent lives." I left, and went to think.

I came to the edge of the town and continued to walk. Ester had cured all the injured she could, to the best of her knowledge and Kol and Henrik should be better soon. I was about 50 yards into the woods by now and I heard the trickling of a creek nearby, and headed in that direction.

I wondered if I still healed as fast as I used to. When I got to the river bed, I searched for a sharp rock. When I found one, I brought it to the palm of my left hand and cut it. Blood spilled from my hand and started to roll to the ground.

"What are you doing?" I jumped when the voice echoed towards me. I turned and saw a girl standing there, leaning against a tree.

"Elena?" I gasped. She shook her head and chuckled as she walked closer to me.

"Tatia." She chuckled. I knew that Katherine and Elena's physical appearances were both supposed to be based off of Tatia's, but I didn't expect them to look like identical triplets.

"Why did you cut yourself?" She asked as she walked up to me and took my left hand in hers. She gasped, and now it was my turn to chuckle. "But, I could have sworn." She said as she turned my hand to different angles in the light. Well, I guess that my blood still had its healing quality.

"Could have sworn what?" I asked her, for some reason I didn't like her. She seemed very self-centered, like Katherine. She shook of my question and moved on to other matters.

"I thought I should meet the new Mikaelsons houseguest." She said with a mocking tone in her voice that seemed awfully familiar.

"And why is that?" I countered.

"Well, I heard that you saved Kol from dying, I was curious what kind of person could do that without their memory, but who knows. It was . . . interesting meeting you." She said as she walked away, and waved with her back towards me.

Something was wrong about her. She seemed so stuck on herself. She was nothing like Elena, she seemed so arrogant, and maybe it was because every guy in the village was chasing after her. I shook off the encounter and noticed that it was getting dark, fast. I better head back, Rebekah will start to worry if not Henrik too. When I entered the town, I walked down and saw the white oak tree, almost completely dead. I sat down at the base of the tree, and looked at all the flowers surrounding the trunk.

"Vervain" I said as I picked up one of the flowers, I touched the top, and it didn't burn. It smelt nice, a little like roses. This was a new experience. The last time I touched Vervain, I was being tortured with it.

"Come on, you better get back to the Mikaelsons house." I heard a voice say as a hand touched my shoulder lightly. I looked up and saw a young man standing there, with a kind look in his eyes. I stood up and looked at him. He was tall, though not too tall, with dark hair, and tan skin. He was muscular and had deep blue eyes. I'd never seen him before, but something struck me, telling me I knew him from somewhere before.

"I'm Benjamin." He said as he offered me an arm to escort me back to my house. I chuckled and slid my arm through his.

"Caroline." I answered. We walked in comfortable silence for about two minutes, before he delivered me to my door.

"Well, good night Caroline." He said with a smile and left. I sighed as I walked into the house. Rebekah suddenly crashed into me with a hug.

"I was so worried, where have you been?" She demanded when I entered.

"I took a walk." I answered simply.

"Well, you should tell someone next time." She sighed, as she dragged me upstairs. "Get some sleep, today was a long day."

"Actually, do you mind if I check on Kol first." I asked as we past his door.

"Of course not, go right ahead." She said as she continued to her room.

I slipped into the room, and saw that he was asleep. I walked over and saw some bread, a knife, and a cup. I picked up the knife and made another cut on my hand, then poured the blood into the cup. After a minute my hand had healed, I looked at Kol, and noticed that he was stirring.

"Kol? Can you sit up for a minute?" I asked quietly. His eyes fluttered open, and he obliged to my request. I handed him the cup and he drank. When the cup was empty he handed it back and gave me a look as plain as day that said. "That was awful." I smiled apologetically, he nodded and laid back down and closed his eyes and quickly fell asleep once again.

I slipped out of his room and into mine, and changed my clothes. This place was nothing like I predicted, and neither were the people. I got under the covers of my bed, closed my eyes, and was surprised with thoughts of the quiet and kind Benjamin.
