Chapter 17

A/N: This is an AU story for the vampire diaries. I do not own the vampire dairies.

"So you will be alright here? I mean with Klaus." Stefan said. Caroline nodded.

"I know it's shocking but I like him, and he…"

"Loves you." Caroline swallowed hard and glanced to Klaus and Elijah talking with Enzo who was still mocking him about his name basically. Elijah was the one that had to hold Klaus back. But Enzo just enjoyed making Klaus mad. "Don't worry I saw this coming from the day that he chose you over Rebekah. And finally when he couldn't end up killing you that day he bit you. What can I say, I approve…somewhat. I trust you, and I only trust him to care for you. But I wouldn't be surprise if he well kills Enzo or something. Actually you should have just let Klaus kill Enzo. I was about to do it a few times or so in the car." Caroline smiled.

"I will miss you Stefan." He hugged her.

"Promise to stay in touch." She nodded.

"Always." Stefan moved away to Klaus. Caroline turned to find Enzo standing there with a smirk on his face.

"What were you going to forget about me? How could you forget about saying goodbye to me? If Damon was correct you did have a thing for accents right?" She glared at him.

"Shut up." She said.

"Still just as feisty blonde angel of death, I can see why Niklaus over there likes you so much. Such a shame we never had our fun blondie. I mean I do have an accent. Perhaps once you get tired of him, we can have our own fun, you know where to find me." He smirked. She rolled her eyes. "What about a hug?"

Stefan had moved over to where Klaus was standing. Klaus raised an eyebrow at him. Elijah nodded before walking back to the courtyard where Marcel now stood talking to Davina.

"Mate?" Klaus said.

"You will look out for her right? Promise me you make sure that she is safe Klaus. If I know anything is that I do trust you to take care of her." Klaus nodded.

"Promise." He said.

"I have noticed though she has a knack for going to look for danger to protect the ones that she loves. I would suggest training her to protect herself better so next time she doesn't get kidnapped so easily." Stefan said. Klaus nodded. "One more thing, I give you my word I don't care how strong, how powerful you are. You hurt her, I will kill you."

"I have no intention of hurting her." Klaus said. "And if it ever came to that point I would let you." Stefan nodded. He turned back to see Enzo annoying Caroline until he had to chase her around to get a hug. He smirked at Klaus as Caroline just looked annoyed. When he let go of her, she punched. Stefan shook his head and chuckled walking over. Enzo was rubbing his cheek still grinning.

"Still as feisty as ever." Enzo said.

"Stefan, due hit him with that shovel ten times harder this time." Caroline said. Stefan nodded and smirked.

"Duly noted. Let's go, I would like to find out why this warlock Markos is giving me creepy dreams." Enzo smirked.

"But dreams I am sure that you enjoy mate." Stefan sighed.

"This is going to be a long way back home." They flashed off leaving Klaus and Caroline standing there.

"It was nice seeing Stefan again." She said. Klaus nodded.

"Yes it was, except the annoyance that he has cling to his side from time to time." Caroline chuckled.

"He wasn't so bad." Klaus gave her a look. "Ok maybe he was that bad. But if anything it got me liking the name Santa Niklaus."

"Sweetheart, I would prefer to be called different things other than that silly name."

"Fine, but I am calling you it at Christmas time." Klaus groaned but then smirked.

"So you believe that we will still be together for Christmas?" She rolled her eyes.

"I hope so. But don't let me inflate your ego." She said. Elijah walked over along with Davina.

"You might want to go back to the cemetery and check out that symbol again. I sensed there before that there was something dark happening there." Davina said. "I can't explain it but just the aura in the air it…just bad. I can't say of what though." She shook her head.

"That bad?" Caroline asked.

"It feels of death there. But also something darker." Davina explained.

"Is it not just because you are in the cemetery full of the dead." Klaus said. Davina glared at him.

"The symbol, I know it has something to do with something dark but what…"

"It seems that there have been some problems back in the Cities of the Dead where you two killed the ghoul." Elijah said.

Heading over to the cemetery where Klaus and Caroline had killed the Ghoul, was wear they also found the symbol. But now it appeared that the symbol had more drawn there. As if it had gotten bigger.

"It seems that this symbol is a warning perhaps." Elijah said. Klaus studied it.

"I'm not sure."

"It's a prophecy." Caroline turned to find the woman or witch Althea. She raised an eyebrow. Elijah stared at her for a moment and studied her.

"Althea," Caroline said. She was about to take a step forward to ask her what she meant when Elijah yanked her back. Klaus glanced at him confused.

"Laelia," Elijah said. Caroline looked at him confused and glanced at Klaus who was apparently just as confused. "Hmm I feared it was you behind such diabolical magic in the city. I sensed it as soon as I arrived." Elijah said. She smirked.

"Elijah Mikaelson, the years have still been kind in your favor. Though you are immortal." She said. Her appearance into a different look of a woman who now appeared as if a goddess in human form. Her hair was still as dark hair, but with white eyes if that was even possible. She looked perhaps mid twenties now but appeared almost glowing. She wore a long green dress as her hair flowed down her shoulder in waves.

"You know her?" Caroline asked. Klaus was still confused but the name sounded familiar.

"Once when I was a foolish young vampire and ventured into that seductresses lair." Elijah explained.

"Laelia," Klaus said. He finally realized who she was. "The siren,"

"No." Laelia said.

"Like a siren," Elijah said.

"Few have ever complained." Laelia said.

"Few have ever lived long enough to." Elijah muttered.

"I should have killed you when I had the chance."

"Who is she?" Caroline asked.

"A powerful witch, who possesses parts of the city itself under her control for now it seems. She moves frequently. Using her twisted magic to shape events in her favor. And she's no friend of my brother's or us for that matter." Elijah explained. She smirked.

"Nor am I friend to Celeste or Markos. But Markos is the one that you should be concerned about. If he gains what he wants which is dominion over the supernatural world as well as extinction to all supernatural creatures that are not a Traveler then I will be enslaved to him."

"I must help you, for you are the only ones that are probably strong enough. But not alone. For I have had words from the spirits, claiming that only the originals may be powerful enough to stand against Markos and the Travelers." Caroline looked at her for a moment.

"Then why play these games, I mean surely you had a reason for telling us of the Ghoul." Caroline said.

"You are right Caroline, I knew that Celeste had planned to use the Ghoul as a distraction because I had seen it. I may had led Klaus of course with trying to kill the Ghoul first, but it was necessary because Celeste had already stolen the white oak stake. I couldn't let her use it on him yet. And she wasn't even ready yet, and needed time to plan. But she would have killed him with it. She was planning on killing all the originals that were left except Elijah seeing how no woman could ever resist him. So I left that information out of it and let you and Caroline kill the Ghoul giving you the time ahead to plan out the next strategy against her. Besides Elijah would never accept help from me." She explained. Elijah glared at her.

"With good reason." He retorted. "I suggest we get as far away from this witch as we possibly can." Elijah told them. Caroline glanced at Klaus as Elijah began to turn away.

"Oh you can run from me. But you can't run away from the vision." She said.

"What are you talking about?" Klaus said. "We full filled your vision." Elijah tugged Klaus back. Clearly Elijah knew a lot about this woman or witch. And he didn't trust her one bit.

"Yes, but this one appears to be set in stone or at least what is written right there. Though the story grows every day. By tomorrow another symbol will be adding on like a vine that grows. And it is written and claimed that the original hybrid will be betrayed by the one closest to him."

"Rebekah," Elijah said. She shook her head.

"That happened in the past. I am talking about now. You will be betrayed by the one standing to your right." She raised her hand and pointed at Caroline.
