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

Please remember to review at the end! :)


Caroline stood tall as Klaus raged through the small study in the back of the small cottage. He threw vases, books, small tables, and everything he could get his hands on.

When he looked up, and threw his head back, she rushed towards him, and grasped his face in between her hands.

"Rogue." She whispered, getting him to look into her eyes. "It's going to be okay." She whispered, watching him take deep breathes. "It's okay. It's going to be okay." She whispered, bringing his forehead to hers.

He panted, and moved his hands to her waist. "I'm sorry, Swan." He whispered, closing his eyes.

She shook her head against his. "You don't have to be." She replied, lowly.

He sighed, and held her closer. "I wish that we had…" He whispered, and she nodded.

"I know." She whispered, tenderly.

He tensed up, and pulled her closer. "I have to go." He whispered, begrudgingly.

She sighed. "I know."

He pulled her tighter, and linked his fingers behind her back. "Promise me that you will stay here, until I return." He whispered, pulling back to look into her eyes.

She smiled, and nodded. "I promise." She replied, not wanting to fight him on this.

He quirked a brow, and smiled slightly. "No fight?" He asked, watching her smile once more.

She shook her head. "No, no fight." She paused, and exhaled slowly. "As much as I want to go with you, and help, I know that I can't. Not yet." She added, nodding her head.

He sighed, and lifted his right hand to her face, gently caressing it. "I wish you could, Swan." He whispered, rubbing his thumb over her skin.

She smiled. "I know." She sighed, and bowed her head. "Besides, I have a few things to catch up on." She replied with a sad laugh.

Klaus smiled sadly. "I know." He whispered, feeling his heart break in more ways than he ever imagined it would. "I haven't said the words, but you should know that I…" He paused when she placed her right hand over his mouth.

"I know, Niklaus." She whispered, nodding. "When you return, you can say them." She replied, smiling.

He didn't say a word, or even smile. Instead, he pulled her face to his, and kissed her long and hard. When he pulled back, she was clinging to him, and he her. He placed his lips on her forehead, and stepped back. "I should return tomorrow night." He replied, stepping back, and reached for her right hand.

Keeping a hold on it, he let his fingers run over her hand, as he slowly released it.

Caroline felt her heart rip in two as he walked out of the room, and away from her. "I love you." She whispered, as the door closed behind him.

On the other side of the door, Klaus paused and turned his head slightly. "I love you, Swan." He whispered, before walking out of the house to the small car waiting for him outside.

Caroline looked out the window, and felt tears fall down her face as she watched him climb inside, and drove away.

"Be careful, my Rogue."

Bonnie shook her head as she stirred up the batter in the kitchen. "Why in the world did Klaus have to go back to Falls?" She asked, angrily.

Kol sighed, and dipped his finger in the raw cake batter, and sampled it. "He said he had to take care of some business." He replied, shrugging when Bonnie sent him a dark glare.

"He has Elijah and others who could easily take care of the business, Kol. Why did he have to go and leave her?" She asked, lifting the battered covered spoon, and pointed it towards the back room, where Caroline was residing. "After all this time, at the first sign of trouble, he leaves her!" She stated, shaking her head, before pouring the batter into the pan.

Kol sighed. "Bonnie, it had to be done. You know that. Katherine was taken, and Elijah is not thinking straight." He replied, seriously. "Nik is the only one who could get through to Elijah." He added, as Bonnie placed the cake in the oven.

Bonnie straightened and sighed. "I know, but still, leaving Caroline?" She began, shaking her head.

Kol nodded, and approached her. Placing his hands on her upper arms, he turned her to face him. "Nik said he would be back tomorrow. You know he won't stay away from her for very long." He replied with a knowing smile.

Bonnie nodded, and placed her hands on his chest. "I know." She finally stated, smiling faintly. "It's just everything is riding on those two, Kol." She replied, firmly, moving her head around, causing Kol to grasp it between his hands.

"And everything will work out, lass. Believe it." He replied, leaning forward to kiss her lips lightly.

She smiled against his lips, and nodded when he pulled back. "I do." She whispered, before placing her head on his chest, and wrapping her arms around his waist.

Kol sighed and kissed the top of her head.

"Oh, I'm sorry."

Bonnie pulled back, and smiled as Caroline's blonde hair flew around her as she turned to head back to her room. She lifted her gaze, and smiled as Kol nodded towards her friend. Lifting up on her toes, she kissed him quickly before pushing past him, and heading towards the back room.

She found the door to Caroline's room open, and she smiled as she softly knocked on the door. Caroline lifted her head as she sat on the bed. She smiled and nodded to her friend. "Come in." She whispered, bowing her head once more.

Bonnie smiled, and softly closed the door behind her. "Are you alright?" She asked, approaching her longtime friend.

Caroline smiled, and let out a soft scoff. "As alright as I can be." She replied, fiddling with her fingers in her lap.

Bonnie sat down next to her friend, and sighed. "Klaus will come back." She replied, looking at her friend.

Caroline nodded, but kept her head down. "I know." She replied, standing up, and folded her arms over her chest. "It's just that…" She paused, trying to figure out what to say. "Ever since I got my memories back, I felt as if a part of me has been missing, and yet it feels…"

"New."

Caroline nodded, and closed her eyes for a moment. "I don't doubt my love for Klaus. In fact, I feel as if I've loved him all my life and I just didn't know why or how. I just…" She trailed off, and turned to the window.

"You're confused." Bonnie concluded, with a soft smile.

Caroline nodded. "I've got two sets of memories in my mind, and sometimes I don't know which ones I should believe." She replied in slight distress.

Bonnie nodded. "I know how you feel." She replied, placing her hands on her knees.

Caroline turned around, and studied her friend. "You know?" She asked, carefully.

Bonnie nodded, and smiled faintly. "Remember when I told you that I moved here two years ago," She began, watching Caroline nod. "That was partly true." She added after a moment.

Caroline shook her head, and her brow furrowed in confusion. "I don't understand."

Bonnie sighed, and closed her eyes. "I received my first memory when I turned thirteen." She began, quietly. "I had no idea what or where it came from. I just thought it was just a dream, but when they kept coming, I knew they weren't." She replied, opening her eyes to look at her friend. "When I told my Grams, she didn't think I was crazy. She told me that a spell had been cast. A gypsy spell to unite two lovers as soul mates, but not just those two. It would unite everyone the lovers knew." She explained, lowering her eyes. "At first, I thought Grams had lost it, but I kept seeing a face, and it was so familiar."

"Kol." Caroline whispered.

Bonnie nodded with a smile. "Kol." She whispered, turning her gaze to the door. "When I turned sixteen, Grams sent me to here. She said it was time to find the truth for myself." She paused, bowing her head. "I had just arrived at Falls, and was walking the streets when I saw him." She smiled, and lifted her head. "I couldn't…I couldn't believe it at first." She laughed. "I kept getting the feeling that I knew, and not from my dreams." She replied, lifting her eyes to the closed door.

"What happened?" Caroline asked, watching her friend.

Bonnie smiled. "He saw me, and he approached me. We started talking, and I realized he felt the same way as I did." She paused, lowering her eyes. "On our third date, we kissed, and every memory, every part of our past awoke in my mind and in his." She replied, tears filling her eyes.

She remained quiet for a moment before she continued. "I moved her completely two years ago when I turned twenty-four." She replied, smiling. "Of course, I have lived here for a little over eight years, now. All because of one man." She added, shaking her head.

Caroline smiled, and studied her carefully. "Do you regret it?" She asked, watching her carefully.

Bonne shook her head and smiled. "No, I don't." She answered, lifting her head to look at her friend.

"Why?" Caroline asked, shrugging her shoulders.

Bonnie laughed lightly, and pushed her brown hair back from her face. "Because after my memories returned, I felt whole, complete. I felt as if I had been missing a part of myself, until Kol. Now, I realize that Kol is the only man for me, and the only one that I truly want to be with." She answered, firmly.

Caroline nodded, and smiled faintly. "That's how I feel about Klaus." She whispered, bowing her head.

Bonnie stood up, but didn't move towards her. "Do you? Or are you focusing more on the past?" She asked in a serious tone.

Caroline opened her mouth to speak, but found she couldn't.

Bonnie nodded. "Klaus is your past love, but he is also your present, and future. He is your last love, Caroline, but until you accept that. You will always feel conflicted." Bonnie stated, softly.

"I do accept that." Caroline replied, firmly.

Bonnie smiled. "Do you?" She asked, watching Caroline bit her bottom lip. "That's what I mean." She replied, when Caroline remained silent. "Why don't you take today and think about that?" She recommended, softly.

"How did you accept it?" Caroline asked when Bonnie had made it to the door.

Bonnie smiled, and turned her head. "I let go of the past with Kol, and when I did, I realized that while he was my past love, he was also my future." She answered, softly. "He is the only man I can see myself with for the rest of my life." She added, reaching for the door, and opening it. Pausing before she left the room, she smiled at Caroline. "Think about it, Princess." She replied, watching Caroline smile at the recognition of her former name.

Caroline nodded, and watched Bonnie leave the room, leaving her alone with her thoughts.

Klaus entered the small apartment in the quiet place of the city. He smiled as he saw a young girl run towards him with her arms opened wide.

"Uncle Nik!"

He bent down, and picked her up with a smile on his face. "And how is my little amber eyed wolf?" He asked, as she wrapped her arms around his neck.

She pulled back, and looked at him with the amber eyes she had inherited from her mother. "I'm doing very well." She answered, smiling. "Have you seen mama?" She asked, her eyes losing its sparkle for a brief moment.

Klaus frowned, and nodded slowly. "I have, Anne." He whispered, not wanting to lie to her.

She smiled faintly. "Does she ask about me?" She asked, nearly bouncing in his arms.

Klaus smiled, and nodded. "She does." He answered, watching her bow her dark brown head.

"Is she alright?" She asked, her voice wavering.

He sighed. "She will be." He answered, kissing her cheek, and setting her down. "Now, I have to go talk to your Uncle Elijah." He replied, watching her pout.

"Are you going to get Aunt Katherine and Aunt Sophie back?" She asked, watching Klaus frown.

"Yes, Anne, I am." He answered, walking away from her towards the kitchen.

Anne smiled, and clapped her four year old hands. She was going to get her family back.

Klaus entered the room, and frowned as he saw his brother looking more haggard than he had ever seen him before. His head was down, placed in his hands. His hair was ruffled, and his suit, usually neatly pressed, was wrinkled as if he had slept in it. He lowered his hands, and lifted his head. No, he hadn't slept. His eyes were bloodshot, and face had a slight scruff on it.

"Niklaus." He replied, in a gruff tone.

Klaus nodded, and pulled out a chair to sit down. "You should get some rest, Elijah." He replied, sitting down, and placing his arms on the table.

Elijah shook his head. "I can't, Niklaus. I close my eyes and I see her." He whispered, closing his eyes.

Klaus sighed, and bowed his head. "Do you know what happened?" He asked, lifting his head.

Elijah sighed, and rubbed his right hand over his face. "I received a call from her yesterday, and I thought it was just to talk, you know, but then I heard her scream, and I heard his voice on the other end. She fought to get free of them." He replied, pushing his hand through his mussed hair. "By the time I got there, she was gone, and so was Sophie. I found Anne hiding in the back end of the closet, where Katerina had told her to hide." He added, in slight distress.

Klaus nodded, and ran his right hand over his face. "Has he made any demands?" He asked, stiffly.

Elijah shook his head. "No, not that I've heard." He answered, despairingly. "I can just imagine what he's doing to her." He whispered, anger flashing on his face.

Klaus closed his eyes, but opened them quickly. "Elijah, did Katherine know about Caroline?" He asked, firmly.

Elijah's eyes widened, and he closed them. "She knew that Caroline was here, but she didn't know about the cabin." He replied, moving his eyes around frantically.

Klaus growled, and pushed away from the table. All his careful planning was probably gone to hell now.

Elijah shook his head, and moved to stand up. "Niklaus, I'm sorry." He replied, trying to make amends.

Klaus shook his head, and moved to the wall; lifting his fist, he slammed it against the wall, creating a small hole in the plaster.

Elijah closed his eyes, and sighed. He was about to speak, when Klaus turned around to face him.

"We'll get them back, Elijah." He stated, harshly, anger flashing across his face.

Elijah nodded, but didn't say a word. He knew it was best to keep silent when his brother was in a mood.

Klaus nodded, and clenched his jaw. He wasn't going to lose her a third time. Not this time.

Screams filled the small room, as the blade ran over Katherine's chest. She threw her head back, and felt the tears form from behind her closed lids.

Tyler sneered, dropping the knife, and reaching for another, this one hot from being placed into the furnace behind them. "You know this would go a lot quicker, and easier, if you just tell me where she is." He replied, waving the knife in front of Katherine's hate filled eyes.

"You'll have to kill me before I tell you a damn thing." She spat out, spitting in his face.

Tyler frowned, and growled, as he placed the scalding knife on Katherine's neck. "I could slit your pretty little neck right now, but you are still valuable to me." He whispered, harshly.

Katherine screamed, and took deep breathes when he removed the knife. "I will never help you." She struggled to say, her throat dry and scratched from screaming.

Tyler shrugged, and stood up. "Well, if you won't help, then I suppose I will use someone who will." He replied, moving the other body lying on a small table.

Katherine shook her head, and her eyes widened. "No!" She screamed, just as Tyler moved the knife over the woman's body, who was shaking in fear.

Tyler paused, with the knife over the woman's stomach. "Will you tell me everything I need to know, or will I have to disembowel this pretty little brunette here?" He asked, moving the knife slowly over the woman's skin.

Katherine closed her eyes, and felt her heart break in more ways than one. "I'll tell you." She replied, as Tyler moved away from Sophie.

"Excellent." He whispered, moving towards her.

Katherine moved her eyes to the small handle sticking out of the fire, and an idea crossed her mind. She took a deep breath, and jumped with her chair still attached to her, and with precision set it over the handle as she brought it down, the coals from the fire went straight for Tyler's face.

He screamed, and staggered back, dropping the knife, as he reached for his face.

The force of the collision to the ground caused the chair to break, and Katherine was able to break free. Though the ropes were still around her wrist, she made it to Sophie, who was watching Tyler squirm as he fell to his knees.

Katherine made quick work with one of the ropes, as Sophie untied the rest of the ropes. She sat up, and reached for Katherine, untying her ropes quickly.

She hoped down from the table, and wrapped her arms around Katherine's waist.

"Use this." Katherine whispered, handing her a small shovel.

Sophie nodded, and knocked Tyler over the head, before helping Katherine out of the room. "Let's get you out of here." She whispered, as they quietly made it out of the room. "Which way." She whispered, as they tried to make it out of the building.

Katherine moaned, and grasped her side, a side where Tyler had stabbed her. "Let's just find a phone." She whispered, grasping her side tightly.

Sophie nodded, and sighed in relief when they made it out of the building, though she groaned in frustration when she heard mean behind her hollering. "We've got to get out of here." She whispered, dragging Katherine with what little strength she had left.

Katherine groaned, and shook her head. "Leave me, and get out of here, Sophie." She replied, roughly.

Sophie shook her head. "I'm not leaving you, Kat." She stated, groaning as she made it down the street.

Katherine groaned, and felt her legs begin to weaken. "Go, Sophie, find Elijah…" She replied, as her eyes darkened and she collapsed in her friend's arms.


Very intense! Hope you liked it!
