Finally a new chapter! Turns out plane rides can actually be productive. Anyway, Caroline gets a big surprise in this chapter. Enjoy!

"You did WHAT?!" Caroline screeched as Marcel pulled into the driveway of a gorgeous old plantation house. Marcel sighed deeply and got out of the car. He started walking towards the house and motioned for her to follow. Momentarily distracted by the grandeur before her eyes, Caroline remained silent as they walked inside. Once she remembered why she was there however, she started ranting again. "Why the hell would you call Mikael? He's a sociopath! You're lucky he's dead."

"Wait a second," Marcel said, "Mikael's dead? How? When?"

"Oh, right…" Caroline said sheepishly, "Um, well about a year ago, my friends wanted nothing more than to kill Klaus so we tricked Rebekah into finding out how and she told us about Mikael. Katherine found us – " As Marcel opened his mouth to interrupt she quickly said, "She's not important. And she helped us find Mikael, he came to town, almost killed Klaus – and the rest of us – before we all managed to kill him with a white oak stake. I'm pretty sure Klaus has that now…" She trailed off as she saw the dumbfounded look on Marcel's face. "What?"

"You killed Mikael. No wonder Klaus likes you."

Caroline rolled her eyes, "I barely had anything to with it. I just kept Elena away. Damon, Stefan, and Klaus did the rest. So why did you call him and how are you still alive."

Marcel looked down at the ground sheepishly, "It was right after World War I. I had just come back and everything here was going great. Klaus was happy for once, the vampires were getting along with everyone else in the quarter, and Elijah and Rebekah were here too. Did you know that I've had a thing for her since I was a child? Anyway, I basically told her I'd do anything for her and she said that the only way we could be together was to run Klaus out of town, ergo Mikael. She knew a witch who cast the spell for us. Unfortunately, Klaus decided to be benevolent and let us be together so we tried to fix it. It was too late and the witch decided she wanted to tell Klaus. Obviously, he was going to kill us so Rebekah caused the witch to get sick with the Spanish influenza. She's back, probably to tell Klaus and get revenge, and once Klaus finds out he's gonna kill us."

"Hold up, "Caroline said, "How is she back? My friend Bonnie did that and the spirits deserted her."

Marcel said, "This is New Orleans. The witches have a lot of power here. Besides, some old witch Elijah knew inhabited the body of one of the witches – she's been body-jumping since she almost got drowned – and changed this ritual so instead of the four girls that were killed during the reaping…" At this a heartbroken look crossed his face. "Long story short, instead of four teenage girls coming back, four old witches – all of whom have a grudge against the Mikaelson family, came back instead. We killed the Haitian and Sabine. Now it's just Genevieve and the old lady. Genevieve is the immediate problem for the moment. She's got Klaus and Rebekah held hostage in the old hospital where she died."

Caroline sat down in a nearby chair, overwhelmed by all she'd just heard. Given what had just happened a few weeks ago, she knew she shouldn't be here. Talk about mixed signals. However, she also knew that Klaus was still capable of being saved and that he would regret it for the rest of eternity if he killed his sister. Caroline groaned and said, "Okay, I'll help you. Where's Elijah? I can't exactly help Klaus like this. Plus, it's way warmer down here than it is in Virginia." She gestured to her sweater and jeans.

Marcel gave a relieved sigh and said, "He's upstairs with Hayley. Come on."

Caroline was shocked and replied, "Wait a second, Hayley's here? Why?" The reason became evident as the two walked into the study where Elijah and a very pregnant Hayley were waiting. Caroline gasped and said, "How…"

Hayley smiled slightly and said, "Hey Caroline." Elijah stood up and said, "I take it my brother didn't tell you about this latest development when he went to go see you and Katarina. Did he ever see her in the end by the way?"

Caroline was simply standing, still stupefied, "No, he didn't see her. Are you saying that Klaus is – I can't believe I'm saying this – Klaus is about to have a kid? With her?"

"Ah," said Elijah quietly, "right, you two have history. Yes, Niklaus is going to have a child. And as to how, he's part werewolf. Werewolves, as I'm sure you know, can have children. The child is a hybrid. I'll explain in more detail later if you wish. Right now, we have to save my sister."

Let me know what you think! Please review!

P.S. I'm going to create a 'reunion' outfit for Caroline on polyvore. I'll post it on my profile when it's done so be on the lookout for that as well.
