XI. 'Knocking on Heaven's door'
"Oh shit." Damon comments.
Rage glances at them and his head turns around completely presenting them with the angry face and before we knew it, two demons appear beside him attacking them. While fending off the two demons, more and more seep through the portal leaving the caves. In mere moments, the sound of screams can be heard from Mystic falls. That is when a deep worry strikes Damon and Stefan's face, worrying about Elena's safety.
"Go to her." Caroline says snapping the demon's head.
"But Caroline."
"No buts Stefan. You two go. Now!" Caroline yells pushing the two brothers out of the cave, "Bonnie, it's our turn."
Bonnie and Caroline cut their palms before spreading their blood on the floor and they start chanting. Blood beasts soon are summoned from their blood and attack the other demons while the two witches utilize the blood around them as weapons against the Original Evils. The originals and Klaus continue to fight against the demons and Original Evils – with great difficulty.
"This isn't going well." Caroline says pushing herself off the ground.
"The only thing we can do is—"
"I know what you are going to say Elijah and I am starting to agree." Caroline says sadly.
"We have no choice Caroline – Rebekah!" Elijah screams out before storming towards Terror and thrashing him to the other end of the cave.
The fight was long and aggravating. They all end up on the floor – bloody and breathless – struggling to move a single muscle. Caroline glances around and sees all the lifeless bodies dropped and scattered across the floor. Caroline crawls over to Elijah to check if he is alright then to the other Originals.
"What is going to become of us?" Rebekah asks.
"I don't know dear sister but we are not giving up." Elijah says.
"We are on the ground and unable to move Elijah. I think we are past your childish optimism." Finn comments.
"Guys, Kol isn't moving." Caroline says shaking Kol.
"He's not turning grey either." Rebekah notes.
Slam. Everyone's attention turns to the side and sees Klaus being pinned against the wall by Rage. Rage exposes a row of sharp teeth through a devilish Cheshire grin that sends shivers down Caroline's spine and in one swift movement, he bites down on Klaus causing him to scream out. Klaus falls to the ground breathing erratically while the bite mark infects him and he suddenly reverts back to his normal form. Caroline musters all her strength and runs over towards Klaus pulling him into her arms.
"What did you do?" She sneers grimly and Rage chuckles wiping the blood off of his face.
"Do you not think I cannot kill a hybrid? Dearest, I can kill anything." Rage replies.
Despite their feud and grudges they hold against Klaus, he is still family and they saw how Caroline manages to muster up her strength so they do the same and charge straight towards the Original Evils, fueled with anger and adrenaline.
Caroline can feel Klaus die in her hands and he can feel his whole body slowly fade away from him. She places pressure on his wound as if hoping that would do some good and unexpected tears start to accumulate in her eyes. Klaus knew he is going to die, he can feel it, the coldness reining his body, his whole body rejecting any movement and his vision fading slowly to black – it is inevitable. But Caroline refuses to believe that. She tries to feed him blood, she tries to even perform blood magic on him and does everything but fails and those tears start to become over whelming that it affects her vision.
Klaus' hand shakily reaches up and wipes a tear away holding her face and she holds his hand shaking her head furiously, not taking his death as an answer, "You can't die. You don't die Nik. You just don't." Caroline cries and he shushes her.
"It is bound to happen sweetheart. No one lives forever." Klaus says scoffing.
"But you are Niklaus! Original hybrid. You live forever. Please don't die. Don't give up now. Please…please."
"I'm not invincible love. Don't forget I will always lo—"
"No. Don't. Don't you dare say good bye to me. Not now, not ever. We live for eternity, there's no such thing as good bye remember!" Caroline rants through her tears making Klaus smile a little.
"A good bye kiss then?" Klaus asks
"No, no it can't be go—" Klaus cuts her off by using his final strength to pull her in for one kiss. He had only enough strength to give her one passionate kiss and he can taste her salty tears trickling down his tongue. She strokes his face and their faces remain only a breath away.
"Now that's a way to go. Kissed by an Angel." Klaus comments making Caroline laugh a little.
"You're not going anywhere. Stop saying that."
"Caroline…"
"No Nik. You can't go. You can't leave…you can't leave me. You just can't. I love you." She whispers in his ear and he certainly thinks that this is the best way to go, hearing those words escape her lips so beautifully makes him feel at peace with himself.
"As I love you." Klaus says. Caroline inhales before abruptly standing up.
"Stop!" She yells stomping her feet on the ground causing the floor to shake and crumble to catch their attention, "You have a cure! You must have one. You can save him!" Caroline shouts at the Original Evils.
"Of course we can save him. But what good would come out of that?" Pain asks.
"We're not stupid. The boy is the closest thing to a threat towards us." Terror says.
"Wait…what will you do if we save him?" Rage asks intriguingly.
"Save him and…you can take me." Caroline says sternly.
"What good would you do? You still have pathetic little human traits." Rage says.
"Take my humanity away. Won't be hard I just have to exert myself with magic and my humanity and sanity is gone just like that." Caroline says snapping her fingers.
"That is an interesting wager." Pain comments.
"Caroline no." Klaus says breathlessly almost in a pleading tone.
"Be quiet. I know what I'm doing." Caroline says.
"Do you really sweetheart?" Elijah asks since he can see the doubt in her eyes and she just stares him and nods slightly.
"What is she doing?" Rebekah asks grabbing onto Elijah's arm that is holding her back.
"Something insane." Kol answers.
"Stop her Elijah! Caroline!" Rebekah cries out but Caroline merely glances over to give her former friend a small shadow of a smile.
"I don't have all day. Take it or leave it." Caroline says grimly snapping her head back to glare at the Evils.
"Why should we? Once your hybrid dies, he will be sent to the underworld and would join our army. What can you do?" Terror says.
"He will be useless dead…well dead-er. He won't be able to do anything. I'm a vampire with two blood lines of Original witches' powers running through me. I can perform dark magic. I can be in so much use." Caroline explains.
"I don't know…" Rage says contemplatively.
"Going once…." Caroline starts.
"She makes a fairly good point." Terror interjects.
"Going twice…"
"She's strong. Take it." Pain sneers.
"Do—"
"Deal!" The three shout out. They face Klaus and feed him their blood and almost instantaneously, he is revived from his pain. The thick blood rushes through his body, healing every wound and every scar. The immense rush of energy causes Klaus to jolt up and take in a sharp breath. Caroline sends Elijah a specific look that he manages to decipher and holds Klaus back much to his dismay. Elijah is holding onto a frantic, yelling Klaus and it takes all his strength to keep him down but even that is not enough. Rebekah and Finn had to offer their assistance.
"Let go of me." Klaus sneers.
"I'm afraid we can't brother." Rebekah says.
"Caroline!" Klaus shouts and Caroline turns to give him her innocent genuine smile and he knows at that moment that that would be the last time he gets to see it ever again.
Caroline takes the Evils' hands and they start chanting. A gust of wind enters the cave and her head is shot back. The blackness in her eyes spread quicker than ever and is even darker than it has ever been.
"No." Klaus breaths out.
Caroline turns to face the three Evils and then starts chanting her own spell much to their confusion. A blood chain start to form around their intertwined hands and they cannot release from it. The chain gets stronger and tightens as the Evils frantically look at her.
"What are you doing?" Rage yells.
"Elijah. Leave." Caroline shouts and Elijah bids her by taking his siblings and Bonnie and leaves the cave. They all glance back and Caroline mouths the words good bye to them on final time as she pushes the Evils back towards the portal. Klaus tries to run back in but the cave is soon shut by a boulder by Caroline and he is unable to break through it due to the force field.
"NO!" Klaus shouts out smashing the boulder till his knuckles bleeds and the feel of his bones crushing became numb.
"Nik…" Rebekah says cautiously.
"Don't touch me!" He yells making Rebekah jump back.
"We need to leave." Elijah says.
The force field on the boulder is broken and Klaus manages to break apart the boulder but to only see an empty cave and the seal starts to reform again. Anger and fury boils inside of him that he lets out an ear piercing roar that can probably be heard all through Mystic Falls. His knuckles are dripping with blood. His whole world is crumbling around him and he can feel his dead heart plummeting to the ground. Suddenly, he body is numbed by all the despair over whelming him. His body begins to tremor and his siblings stare at him sympathetically. He glares at Elijah before slamming him to the mountains causing the rock to split.
"Niklaus!" Rebekah shouts out but Finn blocks her and she sends him a confused look.
"Let him. He needs to vent." Finn notes.
"You knew. You knew what she was going to do and you didn't stop her!" Klaus sneers, his knuckles turn white as his grip tightens on Elijah's collar.
"She wouldn't let me." Elijah says, "It was her plan, only if it was the last resort." He explains avoiding the burning glare from Klaus that is boring into his skin. His guilty conscious could not take absorbing his brother's distraught face. Instead the only face that plagues his mind is the sad smiling Caroline bidding farewell and that already damage his guilty conscious.
"Damn it Elijah!" Klaus says slamming his body once again on the mountain, mutter incoherent words to himself, "Why…" Elijah picks up as Klaus' voice drops to an inaudible whisper
"Klaus, the whole town is falling apart. We need to leave the premises now." Elijah says and Klaus looks at him strangely.
"Caroline casted the spell that would send this whole town down to the ground. Sucking it all into the underworld. Down with her." Bonnie explains, "We have to leave. I've informed Damon, Stefan and Elena. Alaric is taking them out right now." She adds and her tone is full of depression as the tears start to fall.
"We need to leave now." Finn interjects.
