I am SO sorry for not updating. I have my board exams this year and I won't be able to make frequent updates until March 2014. That's when my exams will be over... So, this chapter has a lot of action (when I mean action, I mean ALL types of action *wink*)... Anyway, Enjoy!

"Get up Caroline!" Rebekah shook her. Caroline groaned and turned away from her. "Get up! We have to gather the food today. Elena, she's not waking up. I've been trying to wake her up for the last five minutes." Elena came up to Caroline's sleeping figure and sighed. She leaned down in front of Caroline's ear and shouted loudly. "Aaaaaaaa!"
Caroline screamed and got up, her eyes wild and snapped her head from side to side. Elena smiled. "There. She got up." She walked out of the cottage just as Caroline threw what she used as a pillow after her, followed by an indignant scream "ELENA!"
Elena chuckled and just called out "Get dressed in five minutes." She was chuckling to herself when she turned around a corner and smashed right into someone. She looked up at the man's face. Elijah. Uh-oh.
Caroline got dressed, still grumbling as Rebekah helped her tie up her dress. "Are you allowed to wake someone up like that in your village?" she asked curiously. "No." Caroline grumbled. "It's just Elena who does that. It's not the first time either." She complained. "I was twelve when I, Elena and Bonnie, a friend of ours had a sleepover….I mean, we shared a room for the night and I was woken up very rudely just like this. And I won't even mention the day when I woke up to a bucket of cold waterin my face." Caroline frowned as Rebekah laughed at her.
After playing with Henrick for a while, Elijah, Finn, Klaus, Kol, Rebekah, Caroline and Elena set out for the woods. "So why exactly are we going to pick vegetables and fruits?" Caroline asked.
"Because Elijah here believes that we shouldn't always hunt animals for our food." Kol grumbled. Putting on a dramatic display and waving his arms around, Kol mimicked Elijah. "We shouldn't kill animals to satisfy our hunger. They have the right to live as much as we do. They too have lives and families. Bollocks." Kol grumbled. "So then Elijah started to pester Father. He wanted us not to eat meat at leastonce in seven days. Thankfully, Father reduced that to one day in two full moons."
"He is right you know." Elena chimed. "They too have their own lives." Elijah smiled at her which she returned shyly, but Kol snorted. "Well, it looked like he had to do too much begging to get Father to agree to this."
"That is true." Elijah agreed. "Father believed that only the poor and the weak do not consume meat for food. I had to go without food for two days before Father agreed. The stew contained meat and I refused to intake meat."
"That must suck. For you." Caroline laughed.
"You know," Kol said thoughtfully. "I still cannot get over how funny you talk." He ducked to avoid a flying basket from Caroline.
"Look!" Rebekah exclaimed. "The tomatoes are turning red." Everyone split up to look for more vegetables and wild fruits.
"Come faster Rebekah." Kol complained. "I want to see Henrick." he whined. "So do I Kol." Rebekah snapped. "It's not my fault that my basket has the most vegetables."
"Stop being dramatic." Finn scolded. "Your basket is the lightest in comparison." Rebekah just huffed and turned to Caroline. "So Caroline. Did anyone offer to be your escort to the dance?"
"Um…no? It's the first time I have heard of this dance." came the reply.
"It's something we villagers do every once in a year. For one night, we celebrate until the crack of dawn unless of course, someone wants to return home." Rebekah informed her.
"No. No one has asked me."
"Yet." Rebekah commented smugly. Klaus smiled and opened his mouth to say something, but suddenly stopped in his tracks to avoid crashing into a brunette who suddenly came in front of him.
"Tatiana." He said, surprised.
"Niklaus." Tatia said formally. "I would like you to escort me to the annual dance."
Rebekah burst out laughing. "No one asked you? No one did, did they? Are you so desperate as to beg someone to escort you?" Tatia opened her mouth to answer, but closed it after a second thought. "What? I thought you were with my elder brother this week. Or have you made it one brother every two days?" Rebekah continued. Tatia's eyes flashed dangerously as she turned crimson. She huffed, turned on her heel and stormed away.
"Something isn't right." Rebekah chuckled. "She was looking flushed…. insulted almost. Like I had guessed correctly." She smiled at Elijah, who was avoiding her eye. She frowned. "Elijah? Did she ask you?"
"Rebekah, I think it is time for us to get home. Mother will be worried." He stated calmly. As usual, the stubborn yet accurate Rebekah made the right guess. "Oh my god. You refused didn't you?"
Finn put an arm around the excited Rebekah's shoulder. "Let us get home now. Shall we sister? We wouldn'twant to spend the rest of the day here. We still have a long walk home."
"Okay, but who are you taking to the dance?" Rebekah probed Elijah. With a sigh, Elijah turned to face her. "I had asked Elena here if I could be her escort before Tatia approached me."
With a huge grin on her face, Rebekah giggled. "Liar. I can say when someone is lying and you are. You totally – what was that you said Caroline? Yes – you totally blew her off didn't you?"
Caroline, who had been rather quiet, smiled at her. Kol groaned. "Don't you go around picking this blonde's vocabulary sister. It sucks." He suddenly stopped speaking.
"Oh, it sucks doesn't it?" Caroline asked slyly.
Kol took to his heels, with the girls right behind him. "Oh for heaven's sake!" Finn shouted. "We still have to get to the other side of the village and I would prefer not to take all day long getting there."
Finn, Elijah and Klaus walked at their own pace, knowing they would find the ladies and Kol catching their breath somewhere in their path. "So," Finn breathed. "Can I expect less fights over Tatia in our family?" he smiled, trying to break through the awkward silence.
Klaus glared at him. Elijah just smiled. Finn cleared his throat, "So, since when did you take a fancy to Elena?" Elijah smiled at Elena's name. "She is a very enchanting lady." he said. "So what about Tatia? I thought you loved her." Finn stated.
"So did I. But it turns out that it was just the brother in me competing with Niklaus." He flashed a smile at Klaus which was not returned. "And, all the men in the village were trying to win her hand and I think the impulsive youth in me wanted to win her. It was just a competition to prove myself superior and not love that drew me to Tatia. When I spoke to Elena the night we went out for a walk, I found her to be an impressive woman. And when we were celebrating Henrick's birth, I spoke to Caroline and Elena and I found them to be very honest and trustful women."
Finn chuckled, "By honest, you mean blunt when you are referring to Caroline." Elijah smiled and continued, "My mind had started to compare Elena to Tatia and a man does not compare the woman he loves to any other woman. So I decided that I was not in love with Tatiana. I would regret it if I lost my chance with Elena and I am not a man of regret."
"Always the man of logic." Finn smiled. "Isn't that Aaron Branson? The son of the hunter who shot a bear two moons ago?" Finn suddenly said. Klaus and Elijah turned and saw Aaron kissing Caroline's hand in farewell as Kol, Rebekah and Elena stood by. The brothers ran up to the group as Aaron left. "What was he doing here?" Finn asked.
"Asking Caroline if he could be her escort for the dance." Kol stated.
"What did you say?" Klaus asked her.
"Of course she said yes." Rebekah snapped. "She couldn't go to the dance alone because someone didn't have the nerve to ask her." With that she stormed away.
The rest of their walk was very quiet. Kol tried to break the ice once, but failed miserably. "Oh come on sister," he mocked. "Don't be sad the hunter's son didn't ask you out. I'll go with you if that makes you feel better."
"Oh shut up Kol. You know Father does not allow either of us to bring an escort because we are too young so shut your mouth." Rebekah snapped. Kol sighed. He knew she was hoping that Klaus would ask Caroline out. But what could have been done if Tatia had asked Nik to the dance before he had the chance to ask Caroline?
"Oh come on little sister." Kol whispered as Rebekah cut the vegetables furiously. "I know you wanted Nik to ask Caroline. But don't you realize that this is even better?" Rebekah frowned at him, confused. "Nik will be very jealous seeing Caroline with Aaron. You just make sure that Caroline looks stunning."
With a grin, Rebekah tackled her brother into a hug. "Thank you so much Kol. Now I must get on it immediately. I have to take out those dresses Father bought for me last spring. Here, take this." Handing Kol the knife, she rushed off towards her hut.
"Why me?" Kol groaned. "Why do I always get stuck with these things?" With that, he started attacking the vegetables furiously.
"To say that Rebekah is domineering is an understatement." Caroline sighed as she and Elena sat down on her bed.
"She so wants to put you and Klaus together." Elena chuckled.
"I know." Caroline cried. "And the worst thing is that she is making it so bloody obvious."
"It is painfully obvious." Elena agreed. "No wonder Rebekah is so overbearing in the future."
"I am going to talk to her about this. So what is it about you and Elijah?"
"He asked me to be his date to the dance this morning just after I woke you up." Elena admitted. "So, this Aaron guy is hot isn't he?" She asked changing the subject.
Caroline nodded her head dreamily. She remembered, Aaron's long dark hair, which complemented his electric blue eyes and just thinking about his cute smile and gentlemanlyways made Caroline sigh and thank god that she had such a hot date for this dance. He was somewhat like a Damon – a Damon with longer hair and manners. (PS. I like this)
Just then Rebekah walked through the door an excited smile on her face. She had huge piles of dresses in her hands which she dumped on the bed next to Elena. "Ready to try on the dresses for the dance?" she smiled.
"Rebekah I need to talk to you about something." Caroline said. Rebekah smiled at her questioningly. "I don't know how to put it, but you really need to stop. Just stop with trying to put me and Klaus together. It's not going to happen."
Rebekah looked like a child who just found out that Santa Claus doesn't exist. "I….I didn't mean to give you that impression." she whispered, but her eyes showed a hint of moisture. Caroline bit the inside of her cheek. "Sorry. I did not mean to say it so harshly…."
"It's fine." Rebekah said hastily.
"No its not." Elena interceded. "There is something wrong. What is it Rebekah?"
Rebekah sat down on the bed heavily. "It's Tatia." she whispered. "I'm scared of her." The girls' mouths fell open. Rebekah Mikealson scared?
"All the men in the village courted her. But I know not why she chose my brothers to toy with. Did you know she has already had a child out of wedlock? And an unmarried woman having a child is outrageous. But still my brothers courted her. When she was first introduced to me, she talked to me very nicely. But once, when I was thirteen, about a month after she had arrived in town, my brothers were conversing with her and I fell down playing with my friends and both my brothers rushed to my help. My hand had been cut by a rock so they quickly rushed me home. Later that day Tatia came to visit me when I was alone in my cottage. She spoke to me sweetly – too sweetly. Then all of a sudden, her hand shot out and her fingers clenched tightly around my wound in a hard grip and she put a hand over my mouth, stopping me from crying out in pain. It hurt a lot. She told me that Nik and Elijah were hers and warned me never to try to grab their attention away from her again. Then she clamped her fingers around my throat until I struggled for air. The last thing I heard before I last consciousness was 'Consider this a warning'. From then on, whenever I tried to warn Elijah or Nik that she wasn't nice, they scolded me saying that I had no reason to dislike her and that I was just being petty because I had to share their attention with her." Elena and Caroline listened to Rebekah's story with horror. Tatia made Katherine look like a joke.
"She ruined my brothers' love for each other for the next three years. Then you both came and I thought that maybe – just maybe, my brothers will fall in love with you and our family could be a family again. Tatia has broken this family apart. Just last week Elijah and Nik had come to blows over her. Kol and Finn had to tear them apart. You both are just so nice that I wished that you could become a part of our family. For once I felt that I was not alone against Tatia. I am sorry if I made you both uncomfortable. This is the first I have told anyone about Tatia choking me. I have kept it to myself and I hope you do not disclose my secret to anyone."
Elena went over and hugged the girl. "You are not alone." she whispered into her hair. Caroline too went over to hug her, "Your secret's safe with us." she muttered into Rebekah's ear. And for the first time since she was a helpless thirteen year old, she felt she wasn't alone.
"Looks like the Petrova doppelgangers get better over the years." Caroline muttered so that only Elena could hear. Elena's mouth twisted up at the corners into a smile.
"Now how about those dresses?" Caroline said brightly, stepping back with a grin. Rebekah wiped away the few tears that had escaped her eyes with the back of her hand and got up smiling. They had to get ready for the dance after all.
"You know, I look like an idiot." Elena whispered, smoothing down her dress.
"No you don't. You look beautiful. Now just let me do your hair."
Rebekah chided as she pulled Elena's curled hair into a hair pin on one side. She pulled the other side of hair over her shoulder. Elena looked at herself in the mirror. She was wearing a black crinoline gown. The dress had short sleeves and two laces from the sides of her bodice crossed over and were tied behind her neck. There was a black bow in the center of her waist and white fabric flowed in the front. It was quite a grand dress considering the time period.
Rebekah wore almost the same kind of dress except that it was green and it had a green bow on the right side of her neck and the green material was pulled up so that the dress was half white and half green.
"You both are dressed fine. But why again did you choose this dress for me to wear?"Caroline complained. She did not mind looking gorgeous, but she looked hot in this dress. There was no other word for it. Her dress was black with straps and her sleeves, which were not attached to her shoulder straps, fell down her shoulder revealing a little skin. She looked like Taylor Swift in that 'Love story' video! The black sleeves came down until her elbow and a netted material with red embroidery fell from her elbow way below her hands. Her hair was straight and Rebekah had applied a little red colour on her lips which made her look like that mysterious girl in a book who, in the end would be a wicked cunning sexy girl. She could easily say that she looked nowhere near innocent.
"We celebrate this festival every year to celebrate our safety from the creatures of the dark. So we all dress up like the creatures of the dark and wear black except of course, young ones like me and Kol are not allowed to wear black. Our Father has forbidden it. And, I know that Elijah would prefer Elena like this – simple and innocent. But you, you are to be escorted by Aaron Branson, the man for whom all the village girls would kill to go out is the most well-known young man in the village, after my brothers of course."
"Okay, let's go enjoy ourselves." Elena smiled and the girls walked out of Caroline's cottage.
"I so look like myself." Caroline sighed.
"Vampire." Elena whispered tauntingly into her ear.
Tatia snatched Niklaus' hand when she saw the three girls approaching. Aaron, Elijah and Kol were waiting with them for their dates. Tatia had to admit that she was a little jealous. Okay, more than a little jealous. Aaron Branson was going to be that new blonde's escort. Yes, she had Niklaus, but she couldn't see Aaron with anyone else. She had always thought that he secretly admired her and now, he had asked that blonde prick out!
Her mouth fell open as she took the girls in. True, she looked beautiful in her purple and black long-sleeved gown. But this blonde looked outrageously….seductive. There was no other word for it. Kol looped Rebekah's hand through his and they walked away, chatting. Kids Tatia thought, rolling her eyes. But she almost went up in flames when she saw Elijah kiss that Elena's hand as if she were the most precious thing in the world. The way he looked at that girl! He had never looked at her like that. And lastly, Aaron kissed Caroline's hand, tugged her close and whispered something into the blonde's ear which made her change colour and smile at him. She couldn't help but feel jealous.
They walked away, Caroline's arm looped through Aaron's and he put his other hand on the small of her back leading her away. Caroline laughed at something he said and Tatia could see her replying playfully. "She is such a whore." She commented. Niklaus just followed the group, not saying anything.
Caroline smiled when she saw Elijah lead Elena away. She was so happy. It was a pity that it could never work out. Ayanna had promised to tell them as soon as she found the spell that could send them back. Aaron stepped into her line of vision. He kissed her hand and tugged lightly. Whoa! She had not been expecting that. She stumbled into him. "You look breath taking." he whispered into her ear. She turned red. Were the guys in this age even supposed to do that? But she couldn't help returning his dazzling smile.
She looped her arm through his and he led her towards the dance. "You know, I am not going to leave your side for the whole evening. You are actually my shield from all the other eager ladies." he said playfully. Caroline laughed. "Oh, so I am your human shield now, am I?" she said slyly. "Poor Aaron, what would you do without me?" she asked dramatically.
"Probably go hide in the bushes." he said after pretending to think hard. Caroline giggled.
The rest of the night was spent dancing. Aaron pulled her towards the stalls and insisted on buying her a bracelet. "This metal is called bronze." he smiled. "We have begun to make it just a few months ago." The bracelet was braided bronze which went along well with her dress. She put it on immediately which made him smile.
"So," he stated while they were dancing to a slow tune, one of his hands on her waist the other clasping her hand. She draped an arm over his shoulder. "After trying so hard to win you over tonight, do you think you can do me the honor of being my friend?" he smiled.
"Of course." she agreed.
"So I see that you have quite the number of men pining over you." he said tilting his head. She turned to see a group of men staring at her. They quickly turned away when they saw that she was watching them. She shrugged, turning back to Aaron.
"I really don't care. Elena's the beautiful one actually."
"I object to that. You are equally beautiful and I couldn't imagine any man daring to look at her after tonight." he said, a smile tugging at his lips. He nodded his head at Elijah and Elena who were sitting around the fire, talking to each other and laughing. Elijah had one of her hands in both his large ones. Elijah said something in her ear and Elena laughed so hard that Elijah had to hold her shoulders to stop her from falling off the log. "Elijah would rip his eyes out."
"I am happy for them." Caroline smiled. She hadn't seen her friend laugh like that since Stefan had left town with Klaus, the latter of whom was sitting across the fire and was staring at her and Aaron. He looked away as soon as they made eye contact.
"So, you want a glass of water?" Aaron asked. "You must be exhausted from all that dancing."
"Okay." Caroline agreed. She really was exhausted. She had danced many times with Aaron, Kol, Elijah and even Finn, not to mention all the group dances around the bonfire. Aaron kissed her hand before walking away to look for her drink.
She made her way to Klaus, who watched her warily before turning his face away. "Hi." she sat down next to him. He turned to face her, not saying anything. "You know, you should be enjoying yourself in this festival that comes only once in a year." No reply."You look handsome in that shirt by the way. It suits you." she continued, trying to get him to talk.
He looked at her, surprised. His face broke into a smile.
"Rebekah made it for me last month. I was supposed to wear it for my birthday, but I did not have anything finer than this to wear to the dance."
"You look good." Caroline assured him. "Want to dance?" she grinned.
"Won't Aaron mind?" he asked curiously.
Caroline shrugged. "Why should he? He's not like in love with me or something we are just friends." She tucked her hair behind her ear.
"That bracelet is nice. Quite expensive." He observed.
"Oh this? It's nothing. Anyway I cannot be bought off with expensive gifts." she smiled. Klaus had not idea that in the future, he would gift her something that would be worth millions of bronze bracelets.
"There you are." Aaron sat down beside Caroline and handed her the water. "What are you talking about?" he asked in a friendly manner, trying to join the conversation. "I was just telling Klaus about how I cannot be bought off with expensive gifts." Caroline winked at him.
"Awwww…. Too bad. Maybe I really was trying to get you to like me." he playfully pouted.
"Awwww… You're adorable, but neither your puppy eyes nor your gifts can win me over. But it really is a beautiful gift. Thank you." she smiled.
"Don't worry about it." he grinned. "I'm going to make you pay for it with a favor."
"What favor?" she asked curiously. "I'll tell you after the dance." he promised her.
"Well then, I think I have one more dance in me." she got up.
"I'm very tired." he sighed dramatically and pretended to yawn loudly.
Caroline laughed. "Who said anything about you? Coming?" she asked Klaus, who got up, smiling, and took her hand.
As they made their way towards the bonfire hand in hand, a girl who was being pulled by a man grabbed Caroline's hand who held Klaus's tightly. Like that, the line grew till it became a full circle. Caroline laughed, feeling like Rose with Jack's hand in hers, in the party under the deck. Wait. Did she just refer to Klaus as her Jack?
"Okay, so I will count until one hundred and all of you will hide and I am supposed to find you?" Rebekah confirmed.
"Yes." Elena smiled. They were playing Hide-And-Seek. Rebekah had to seek and Elena, Caroline, Klaus, Elijah, Kol, Aaron and Tatia had to hide. Rebekah closed her eyes and started counting. "One… Two… Three…"
"Come on!" Caroline squealed and Aaron and Klaus followed her into the woods. The three of them hid behind a huge boulder. "No." Caroline whispered, shaking her head fiercely. "We all have to hide away from each other."
Saying so, she dashed away to hide behind a tree. Aaron darted after her. He whispered something into her ear. Her eyes widened, but she nodded grinning. Caroline ran back to Klaus.
"What happened?" Klaus asked.
"Aaron fancies Rebekah." Caroline giggled. "And he is going to find her." Seeing his eyes widen, she continued. "Don't worry. He won't do anything wrong. He is better than that."
Klaus nodded, but after a moment's hesitation, he asked "But doesn't that bother you? I mean, he did offer to be your escort." Caroline shook her head,
"He is just a friend. That's all."
Just then, Elijah and Elena ran up to them, hand in hand.
"What are you doing?" Caroline hissed. "We are supposed to be hiding in different places not together."
"We thought we would join you." Elijah said as he and Elena sat own next to them. "You two are too noisy. It's a wonder Rebekah hasn't found you yet."
"Anyway, Rebekah is going to be a little busy, so I think we should just head back home." Caroline said, smiling knowingly at Klaus. Suddenly, there was a rustling sound. "What was that?" Elena whispered. "Doesn't sound like Rebekah." Elijah said, getting up. The others too got up, looking around for the source of noise. Suddenly, there was another rustle. Everyone whirled around, looking for the creature again.
"It's probably a stray wild dog." Elijah whispered.
"Not helping." Elena muttered under her breath. Suddenly, Elena felt something touch her on her shoulder. Letting her instincts take on from Alaric's vampire-hunting training, she whirled around and smashed her fist onto the animals face. Wait, why was the animals s tall? And she was pretty sure it couldn't make such whimpering noises.
Moonlight illuminated Tatia's face as she turned to glare at Elena, holding her broken nose. Elena clapped her hand over her mouth. "Oh my god…. I'm so sorry. I thought it was some wild animal…..I'm so sorry….I'm really really sorry." Tatia just looked at her with hate as Caroline rushed forward to help Tatia, a secret smile tugging at her lips.
"Let's get you out of here." Caroline muttered and led a simmering Tatia away and threw a wink over her shoulder. The men were so shocked that all they could do was stare.
Elena knelt in front of the stream, washing away Tatia's blood from her hand. She put her stinging hand into the stream, letting the cool water flow over her smarting knuckles. She couldn't believe she had just done that. She sighed, a tear escaped from her closed eyelids. She couldn't believe this was happening. All she had ever wanted was to have a simple life with a happy family with the ideal house with a white picket fence, a loving husband, her children running around with a golden retriever. Was it too much to ask? And now here she was a thousand years in the past, bringing her best friend along with her, punching people and getting involved in things she shouldn't.
A warm hand closed over Elena's smarting hand, pulled it out of the water and someone blew gently on it. Elena opened her eyes. Elijah looked up at her. "You are crying." he stated. He moved his hands forward and caught Elena's tear on his forefinger. "Do you feel bad for hitting Tatia?" "Look, it was not your fault." he assured her. "You would never do that consciously."
She bit her lip as her eyes watered. "This is so difficult." she whispered, looking down. "I just want to go home."
"You are home. And so am I – with you." Her eyes flashed to meet his, disbelieving. A ghost of a smile adorned his lips. "You may think me to be mad for saying this. I know that I have known you only for a fortnight, but I think you are the finest woman to ever grace this land." Elijah extended his hand to cup her cheek, his thumb making circles on her cheek. Elena leaned into his hand unconsciously.
"I love you Elena." he whispered, looking into her brown doe eyes. A shiver ran down her spine. "I want to do nothing but follow you and love you for the rest of my life." Elijah leaned down towards her. He looked at her, as if waiting for her consent. Elena closed her eyes, letting the chips fall where they may. That was all Elijah needed. He leaned into her, capturing her lips into a kiss.
"Caroline." Someone whispered from the shadows. Caroline turned back, frowning. Klaus emerged from the shadows of her hut.
"Klaus." she smiled. "What are you doing here?" Klaus swallowed as if gathering his courage. "I wanted to ask you something." he stated.
"What?" she asked confused at his question. He stood so close to her that Caroline was sure he could hear her heart beating wildly even without his vampire hearing. God, why did her body have to react like this to him every time?
"Do you fancy anyone?" he asked.
"What? What kind of a question is that?" she asked, flustered.
"Just answer it."
"Ummm… No?"
"That's answer enough for me." he whispered huskily. She crashed against his chest as he pulled her towards himself, capturing her lips with his into a deep kiss. He pulled away, gauging her reaction, not sure if he had offended her. She swallowed, her eyes still closed. He sure was a glorious kisser. All that time she had spent fantasizing about his full, raspberry lips hadn't gone in vain. Without a second thought, she pulled him back, her hand getting lost in his hair as he kissed her back deeply, with passion that made her go weak in the knees.
Next Morning…
"So, I take it you children enjoyed yourselves?" Mikeal smiled down at his children, which consisted of Elena and Caroline now, as they ate their breakfast.
"You know father," Kol dragged a hand over his face. "I would have enjoyed it a lot more if you had not woken us up at the crack of dawn."
Mikeal smiled at his son. "Men have to do their jobs my son. You are hunting with me today."
"Yeah, if the Denoah tribe doesn't hunt the all the game first." Kol muttered.
Mikeal narrowed his eyes. "That's enough." he told Kol sternly. "Denoahs are ill-mannered, uncultured forest beasts who know nothing other than waving their swords around and screaming."
"Who are the Denoahs?" Caroline asked Rebekah.
"They are a very violent tribe living in the mountains. They say that every full moon, they turn into beasts. Our village has a treaty with them. So they do not attack us, but Father doesn't trust them." Caroline nodded. She looked at Elena, knowing that they were thinking the same exact thing. Werewolves.
That morning, Caroline had told Elena about kissing Klaus and she had confessed about kissing Elijah and his declaration of love for her. They had both agreed to talk to Ayanna about sending then back to the future. They both rose to go to Ayanna.
Just then a wild cry arose. "ATTACK!" Women and children ran helter-skelter.
The Denoahs had attacked.
