I'm a little iffy about this chapter, since most of it was written during pure exhaustion, but I really wanted to get it finished and up. So I apologize for the grammar errors in this chapter.

THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR CONTINUED SUPPORT! IT MEANS ALOT!

Please remember to review at the end!


Day Four

Four days. Four days of being a prisoner of the Prince of England. She couldn't believe this. In all her life, she never imagined she would be kidnapped, and by a Prince no less!

Caroline shook her head, as she stared out of the window. Rain beat down against the window, and she began to believe there was no hope of escape. Her eyes closed, and she let out a sigh.

Turning from the window, she reached for one of the books on the bed. She sank into a small rocker in the corner of the room, and opened the binding.

She had been on her way to her wedding with her friend, a gypsy, a Bennett, named Bonnie when…

She jerked her head up, and her eyes widened. That must have been a misread. It couldn't be right.

Her mind was still racing when the door opened and Bonnie entered with a tray of food in her hands.

"Bonnie." She whispered, still in shock. It had to be a coincidence, so why didn't it feel like it?

Bonnie stopped, and sent her a friendly smile as she set the tray down on the bed. She straightened when she saw the book in Caroline's hands. Her smile faded slightly, and her head bowed.

Caroline stood up, and fear registered on her face. "Bennett."

Bonnie sighed and nodded.

Caroline looked down at the book and then quickly at Bonnie. "Is this your ancestor?"

Bonnie frowned, and shook her head. "No. It's complicated." She remarked, gently.

Caroline shook her head, slowly. "Then how can she have your name?" She asked, watching Bonnie shake her head.

"Like I said, it's complicated." She replied, once more.

Caroline looked down at the book and frowned. "Ever since they were children, Caroline and Bonnie were friends…" She read out loud, dropping the book as a flash appeared in her mind, causing her to stagger back.

"CAROLINE!"

"I always dreamed of marrying a totally different person." Caroline began, moving her hands around.

"What kind of man, Princess?" Bonnie asked, watching her carefully.

Caroline sighed, and looked out the window once more. "Someone I can talk with, and who listens to me, someone who will treat me as an equal, not just an object to be had." She replied, her voice distant.

Bonnie smiled, faintly. "What about looks?" She asked, bringing Caroline back to the present.

Caroline laughed. "No doubt, he should be easy on the eyes." She replied with a nod and a wink.

"No doubt." Bonnie agreed with a smile, and they both erupted into laughter.

Bonnie steadied her, and saw confusion fall in Caroline's eyes.

"Why do I remember that? Why do I remember you?" She asked, her voice shaking, and her head shaking with it.

Bonnie sighed. "Caroline…"

"Why?!" She demanded, anger and tears filling her eyes.

"Because you were there!" Bonnie shouted, grasping Caroline's upper arms tightly for a moment before releasing her.

Caroline shut her mouth, and slowly shook her head. "That's impossible."

Bonnie sighed, and turned to the bed. Picking up a think book, she handed it to Caroline. "This will explain everything. I'll be in the kitchen when you're ready." She whispered, dropping her hands to her side, and left the room.

Caroline gazed down at the cover, and swallowed hard. 'Soul Mates.'

She shook her head, and tossed the book to the bed. "This is insane." She stated, turning to the window. She closed her eyes, and saw the vision from before. It was so real, so real, but this was impossible. It couldn't be real.

"I won't let anything happen to you. I won't let them find you, and take you away from me." He added, in a fierce tone.

Caroline gave a slight smile. "Says the man who kidnapped me to get even with my fiancée." She replied, in a sad tone.

Klaus grasped her face in his hands, and held her eyes. "I'm serious, Caroline." He began, in a dangerous tone.

Caroline grasped his wrists in her hands, and rubbed her thumbs over his pulse points. "I know, Klaus." She countered, holding his eyes.

Klaus sighed, and brought her into his embrace. "I don't what I would do if I lost you, Caroline." He whispered in her hair.

Caroline laid her head on his shoulder. "I feel the same way, Klaus." She whispered, and tightened her grip on around his waist.

Caroline opened her eyes. "Klaus…"

Turning back to the bed, she grabbed the book, and began to read. She had to know the truth.

~XXX~

Klaus lifted the glass of water to his lips, and drank it down before setting the glass in the sink.

"She's starting to remember."

He straightened his back, and turned around to look at Bonnie. He felt his heart lighten at her words. "Finally."

She nodded, and placed her hands on the counter, and slid on the stool. "She remembered me." She stated, softly.

Klaus sighed, and placed his hands on the counter, and bowed his head. "That's all?" He asked, keeping his head down.

Bonnie sighed. "I don't know. She didn't say. She was reading the book. You know, the one Kol wrote years ago about our story?" She asked, watching him smile while he kept his head down.

Klaus shook his head. "He had to write it." He whispered, leaning his forearms on the counter.

Bonnie smirked. "Well, you know your brother. Besides, it's helping us now, by helping her." She stated, bowing her head.

Klaus nodded, and closed his eyes. "Do you think she'll remember in time?" He asked, softly.

Bonnie lifted her head. "I think she will. She's close. All we need is for her to remember you, and everything will come out." She paused, reaching forward to grasp his hand with hers. "You just have to believe, Klaus, remember when you first learned of the truth?" She asked, watching him sigh. "You weren't exactly accepting of the whole 'soul mate' thing." She replied with a smile.

Klaus chuckled and shook his head. "No, I wasn't." He replied, smiling. "Until you gave me that book." He stated, with memory.

She nodded, and smiled. "I gave her that book before I left her." She replied, quietly.

Klaus straightened, and glanced over her shoulder. "Do you think it'll work?" He asked, trying not to sound impatient, which in fact he was.

Bonnie smiled. "It worked on you, didn't it?" She asked, quirking her brow.

Klaus glared at her playfully, and nodded. "It did."

Bonnie sighed, and moved to stand up. "I better go and check on Kol. He's trying to get the grill started in the back." She replied, shaking her head.

Klaus smiled, and nodded. "Don't let him burn the meat this time, will you?" He asked, watching her smile.

"I'm not making any promises." She replied, walking out of the kitchen. "Klaus?"

He turned his gaze to her, and watched her.

"Give her a moment before you go and check on her." She replied, softly. "This is all still new to her."

Klaus nodded, and leaned on the counter once more. He closed his eyes, and bowed his head. He didn't know how much more he was supposed to take.

~Flashback Eight years ago~

Klaus sat up in his bed, sweat drenched his body, and his chest felt the pain from the dream. He had been stabbed, and she had been taken from him.

It wasn't supposed to happen. He was supposed to protect her, and he had failed.

Klaus shook his head, and climbed out of the bed, and made his way to the kitchen in the small cottage he lived.

He grabbed a glass out of the cabinet, and moved to the sink. Turning on the water, he filled his glass, and took a sip of the water.

Since his eighteenth birthday, the visions, the dreams were getting worse, and tonight was the worst one yet. Every dream or vision felt as if it had truly happened, and yet it hadn't. Now, he was twenty –one, and they were getting worse than ever.

He heard footsteps behind him, and he slowly turned around. He sighed as he sipped from the glass again before setting the glass on the counter.

"What are you two doing up?" He asked, glaring at his younger brother, and the young girl beside him.

Bonnie sighed, and stepped forward, being only two years younger than Klaus didn't mean, a thing to her, and Klaus knew it. She had this look about her that set her above all the rest of the girls her age, and that made her special.

Or at least to his brother.

Bonnie held out her hands, and sitting inside them was a book. "It's time, Klaus." She stated, watching him take the book from her hands.

He glanced at the cover, and scoffed. "I'm not in the mood for fairy tales, Bonnie." He stated, setting the book on the counter.

Bonnie shook her head. "It's not a fairy tale, Klaus." She began, stepping forward with Kol following her. "It's the reason you are having visions of a blonde haired woman." She stated, watching him tense.

"How the hell do you know that?" He demanded, his eyes flashing.

Bonnie sighed. "Because I know the feeling." She replied, glancing at Kol, who moved to stand beside her.

Klaus shook his head. "I'm going back to bed." He whispered, moving from the counter.

"You dream of a woman named Caroline, don't you?" She called out, turning to see him stop in the doorway.

Klaus stiffened his back, and slowly turned to glare at her. Before he could open his mouth, she spoke.

"You heard of your family history, have you not?" Watching him nod, before she continued. "So you know the story of the Rogue and the Swan?" She asked, watching him nod once more.

"What does that have to do with anything?" He asked, glancing at Kol, who still hadn't said a word.

"It has everything to do with it, Klaus." She answered, picking up the book, and gave it to him once more. "Just read this, and it will explain." She added, turning to Kol.

Klaus scoffed, and turned on his heel towards his room, leaving the couple in the kitchen.

"Think it'll work?" Kol whispered, glancing down at Bonnie.

Bonnie sighed. "It has to." She answered, leaning into his side. "Let's go back to bed." She whispered, wrapping her right arm around his waist, before walking out the kitchen.

"Why, Bennett, are you trying to seduce me?" He asked, wrapping his left arm around her.

Bonnie rolled her eyes, and shook her head. "At a time like this, you think of that." She stated, glaring up at him.

Kol smirked. "Always."

Bonnie blushed, and shook her head as they made it to his room, and closed the door.

Klaus sat in his room, fiddling with the cover of the book, and shook his head. This was nonsense. Complete, utter nonsense.

Opening the book, he began to read, and as he read, memories from a time long ago filled his mind, and he began to understand the truth.

Flashes of a blonde Swan filled his mind. Her laughter filled his ears. Her touch filled his soul. His soul. His heart. His Swan.

Klaus dropped the book in his lap, and gasped.

He remembered.

~End Flashback~

Klaus shook his head, and straightened from the counter. In his mind, he remembered when he remembered his past life. It had only taken a few moments, but for Caroline, it might take longer. He knew it was a risk, but it had to be done.

Turning to lean against the counter, he folded his arms over his chest, and gazed at the window above the sink. In the center of the window was a stain glass with the image of a swan.

His Swan.

"Oh, Caroline, please remember, love."

~XXX~

Jean frowned as she walked through the woods. It had taken some time, but she had finally found the location of the Mikaelson cabin.

She stopped behind an oak tree, and gazed around it to find a couple standing in front of a grill. The woman was shaking her head, and the man was pointing a silver prong at her.

She shook her head, and moved her trained eyes around, trying to get a glimpse of blonde hair. Silently moving around the woods surrounding the cottage, she moved to the side where she caught sight of a woman standing in the window at the side of the cottage, away from the couple. She had a book in her hand, but Jean knew without asking who the blonde was.

Her target.

~XXX~

Caroline still couldn't believe it. Just the idea of souls being reborn sounded crazy. This couldn't be right.

Her eyes scanned over the pages, and with each page, the truth leaked off, and into her soul.

Somehow, she knew this was right. The book had to be telling the truth.

She closed her eyes, and her mind began to fill with images she had long forgotten. Images of a camp, a creek, a kiss, a night under the stars, a love so pure and complete she had made a vow to continue it in another life.

Her eyes opened wide, and she dropped the book. It was real.

It was…real.

~XXX~

Kol frowned as he turned the meat on the grill. "I'll never understand how that book brings out the memories." He stated, glancing at his love.

Bonnie shook her head. "It's a gypsy's book. It was the book Caroline read before she became sick, and realized she could be reborn." She replied, shrugging her shoulders.

Kol sighed. "Why didn't we need the book to remember?" He asked, closing the lid of the grill.

Bonnie smiled, and approached him. Placing her hands on his chest, she gazed into his eyes. "Because, true love doesn't need a book." She whispered, softly.

He smiled, and touched her face with his left hand. "Our first kiss." He whispered, searching her eyes.

She nodded. "A kiss would work for Klaus and Caroline, but…" She trailed off, knowing he understood.

"But she hates him and what good would the kiss do." He concluded with a smirk.

She nodded, and bowed her head. "She started to remember. She remembered me, Kol." She whispered, stroking his chest.

Kol smiled, and nodded. "Maybe she will remember Nik, too." He replied, hopefully.

Bonnie nodded. "Maybe."

A shot rang out in the distance, and they turned their heads in the direction of the woods.

"What was that?" Bonnie asked, worriedly.

Kol frowned. "I don't know, lass, but it doesn't sound good." He replied, stepping away from her, only to fall down to the ground.

Bonnie screamed and rushed to him, only to find him unconscious. She looked up, and felt a needle puncture her neck. She reached up to her neck, and pulled a dart out of her skin. Lifting her eyes, she saw a brunette come out of hiding. She swallowed, and felt the world begin to turn black.

"Jean…"

~XXX~

Klaus paused outside her door, and lifted his hand to knock. Softly knocking on the door, he waited until he heard her speak.

Swallowing, he opened the door, and found her at the window with her back to him.

"Caroline," He called out, watching her turn. He opened his mouth when he noticed tears in her eyes.

"Klaus…" She began, her voice filled with recognition and remembrance.

"You remember?" He asked, daring to hope.

Caroline smile faintly, and bowed her head. She took a step towards him, but stopped when she heard a scream. "Bonnie…" She turned her head to see Klaus' face harden.

"Stay here." He commanded, and left the room.

Caroline shook her head. "Not on your life." She stated, rushing out after him.

Klaus opened the door, and fell backwards when something jabbed into his neck. He reached up, and pulled out the dart, and tried to fight against the darkness, but his eyes closed anyway.

"Klaus!" Caroline screamed, rushing towards him, and tried to wake him up.

"I wouldn't bother."

Caroline lifted her head, and frowned at a figure standing in the doorway. "Jean" She whispered, her memory filling her mind.

Jean tilted her head to the side, and glared at her. "I know we haven't met, and frankly, I don't give a damn. Let's go, Blondie." She stated, grasping Caroline's arm, and jerked her upwards.

Caroline glared at her, and tried to jerk free, pausing when Jean pulled out a gun, and pointed it at Caroline.

"I'm only going to say this once, Blondie. Move!" She shouted, jabbing the gun into Caroline's side.

Caroline moved towards the door, unwillingly, and glanced at Klaus still lying on the floor. "Niklaus!"

"Save your breathe, honey." Jean mocked, pushing her out the door. "He'll be out for a long time, which is less than I wish for him." She added underneath her breathe.

Caroline struggled against the grip of the brunette, tears burning her eyes as she began to be dragged out of the cottage and into the woods.

I just found you again, Niklaus. Don't you dare leave me!

~XXX~

Stefan stepped out of the car, and smiled at the woman standing on the sidewalk.

"I thought you could use a familiar face welcoming you." Rebekah replied, tilting her head to the side.

Stefan nodded, and stepped towards her. "You thought right." He whispered, sweeping her up into his arms, causing her laugh.

He set her down, and planted his lips on hers, and kissed her within an inch of their lives. "I missed you, Rebekah." He whispered, pushing her blonde hair away from her face.

Rebekah smiled and played with his hair. "I missed you." She whispered, in return. "You stayed too long in the states this time. I was beginning to worry, you wouldn't return to me." She replied, sadly.

He smiled, and shook his head. "You know, I can't stay away too long." He replied, kissing her lightly, before his phone dinged.

Rebekah pouted, and watched as his face turned grim when he looked at the message. "Stefan, what is it?" She asked, glancing at the message.

"Caroline has been taken by Jean."

Rebekah's face hardened. "Let's go." She stated, moving towards the car, still sitting in the street.

Stefan shook his head. "Rebekah…"

"Don't start, Stefan." She stated, whirling around to face him, placing her finger on his chest. "I'm going, and you are not going to stop me." She added, turning to get into the car.

Stefan sighed. He knew better than to argue with her, especially if it was about family.


I hope you approve!

Before you ask: Yes, Caroline does remember, but they still have a ways to go, especially with Jean having her at the moment!

I can tell you, Klaus is not going to be happy about this!

Until Next Time...
