A/N at the end

Now leaving New Orleans

The sign ahead brought comfort to both the girls. It was now dark and it seemed like the cars headlights were the only thing lighting the road. No other cars or lamp post in sight. Bonnie's shoulders dropped, she sighed letting one hand off the steering wheel relaxing her posture. While Katherine just seemed to fidget less in her seat. Katherine was looking down to mess with one of the radio dials but before she knew it the car came to a screeching halt pulling her back to her seat.

"Cant you drive Witch!" Katherine sneered. The seatbelts had pulled both of them back keeping them momentarily immobilize. Katherine looked over at Bonnie who was grabbing the steering wheel with both hands.

"I –"she stammered a bit before Katherine cut her off.

"You what!"

"There was something in the road" she stated finally turning around to look at Katherine.

"Turn off your headlights" she instructed, Bonnie did as she was told also putting the car in natural while she was at it. Katherine seemed focus on something and Bonnie couldn't figure out if they were in danger or not. She didn't sense anything but apparently Katherine did because after a few second she unbuckled her seatbelt making her way out the car.

"What the Hell are you doing?" Bonnie stated as she grabbed her hand before she could jump out the car.

Katherine gave her a look and simply shook her off her hand making her way out the car.

"Was this really necessarily "she shouted crossing her arms waiting for him to come forth.

"If I didn't deem it necessary I would not be here Katherine" he said stating the obvious. In seconds he was in front of her.

"You could have killed her!" she didn't know why she was finding herself defending Bonnie or looking out for her well-being.

"Ah Ms. Bennett, yes. Well I find that she seems to be a rather resistant human." Elijah began almost as if he was trying to connect the dots without asking out loud. Katherine was very aware of this tactic and found herself having the upper hand. She knew Elijah wouldn't ask what business they had being in New Orleans directly so she decided to change the subject.

"What do you want Elijah. I thought I made myself quiet clear the last time I saw you "she stated rather coldly. Reminding him that the last time they saw each other they didn't leave things on the best terms.

"I wanted to ensure your Safety" he stated rather simply.

"You went about it by almost causing a car accident! "She almost screamed rather frustrated.

"My apologizes, you must know Marcel called me and told me everything. I was already on my way when I found him trapped inside his loft. I thought perhaps you had been kidnapped. I now see that you are not in any danger. "He stated glancing back to the car. He reached into his pocket to pull out a "Should you ever find yourself in any trouble don't hesitate to call that number" he finished before he was gone. Katherine looked down to glance at the card and number that was written down. Placing it in in her back pocket she reached for the car door and got back in.

"Mystic falls, a death trap for the supernatural" Rebekah voiced as she stepped out of her car. They were parked in front of their business card. Reaching for her hand he placed it in her palm.

mansion. Klaus had already stepped out of his car opening the car door in order to get hope out of her car seat.

"Why are we here? " Rebekah asked as they made their way into their home. Taking a seat on the couch Klaus made his way over to her handing hope over to her. Making his way to the bar he poured himself come bourbon.

"Caroline is dead" he voiced before taking his drink in all in one go.

"Great should have known it was the baby vampire that would real you back in to this little old town" Rebekah stated almost bitter that her brother would always have this pull to the baby vampire while they were expected to always put their life on hold for him. Expecting the backlash she was surprise to find that Klaus was quiet almost as if he wasn't there before she was able to make another comment her phone rang reading 'Marcel'.

"This better be important Marcel 'she answered.

"It is we had a few visitors in town-"he began, but Rebekah interrupted.

"And this concerns me why?"

"There was a witch and a vampire working together. A rare casualty for outsiders. The vampire was responsible for the death of one of Jackson pack. I let your brother know but he disappeared and they got away. Her name is Katherine Pierce and the witch.." he paused trying to remember her name.

"The witch her name is Bonnie" he finally stated.

'Thank you Marcel but I must go, Hayley pack is not my problem its Jackson" Rebekah replied shutting off her phone. She looked up to find Klaus starring t her intensely.

' You can't stay here" he voiced as he flashed over to the bar again to pour himself a drink.

' I wasn't planning on it' she deadpanned taking Hope and Placing her in car seat her way over the bar herself and pouring a drink for herself.

"You're going to need a protection spell " making his way back to the couch he took a seat.

" Davina" Rebekah said pulling her phone out and dialing her number immediately. After a few minutes she closed it.

'Done " she smiled finally taking a sip of her drink.

Klaus was seated down on her couch with an empty drink in his hand. Taking it out of his hand she placed it on the table. Sitting down beside him, "are you going to go see her?"

Klaus looked up and the unbearable pain that she saw in his eyes was enough to answer her question.

"I'll be upstairs with Hope if you need anything" she explained getting up and grabbing the carrier she made her way to her old room. Knowing Klaus just needed space, although she found herself concerned that he would go on a rampaged exposing their temporary stay.

"We have gathered around today to say out goodbyes to a beloved friend. Caroline the eternal optimist. She always saw the good in everyone, even when they didn't see it themselves. Caroline taught us the meaning of friendship. Believing unconditionally in those that were in her life. And as we say Goodbye we will always remember her for being the most human vampire in existence and teaching us that there is always good inside on us." he finished.

"Hey bud, time to go "Damon Voiced placing his hand on Stefan's shoulder. Which seem to do nothing not even get him of his reverie. Damon turned around to see Elena standing from afar. The looked passed between them told Damon it was best to not push it with his brother, at least not today. Elena and he had discussed the fear of Stefan turning off his Emotions and becoming a ripper after losing one of his close friends. Although the possibility seemed so close they both found themselves leaving Stefan.

Hours had passed and soon it had grown dark. Stefan found himself still in front of Caroline's grave unable to move. He had thought back to when they kissed and found himself myself missing his best friend more. The realization of their friendship hit him that they were both looking for something else in in each other because the love of their life's how found other loves. Stefan knew that Caroline still held out hope for Klaus. Until Tyler slipped one day and told her that Klaus had knocked up Hayley leading to a miracle . Caroline's feelings were based on her need to control things and how she had planned out her future. Whether she wanted to admit it or not Klaus presence left a mark on her she ran from everything that drew her to towards him and wanted what was safe. A relationship with him that he now saw clearly, would have never worked out in the long run. They were in love with other people. He was pulled out of his trance, "Stefan Salvatore". Turning around to find the original Hybrid.

If you have been following this story I apologize for the delays in chapters when I started this I had set out a story line of how I wanted each chapter to go. Unfortunately that was all saved in my old phone and it basically fell in water. Sorry the chapter is so short; I don't make any promises on how often I'm updating this because I don't have access to a computer right now. Thank you!
