Hey everyone! So I know some of you are surprised it's been a few chapters and Katherine hasn't made any signs of reappearing. I'm not sure what's going to become of Silas and Hayley but I want to make the story go out with a BANG! And they are just what I need to do it. A lot of the story will unravel in this chapter. This will NOT be the final chapter we still have a couple more of those. I hope to get a big reaction and a lot of reviews out of you guys for this one! Happy birthday!

Happily Never After

GTBA

They heard a gasp and a loud clunking noise. Suddenly all eyes were on the stage. Kol's eyes filled with tears. Caroline was on the floor. She had stumbled back and tripped out of surprise, but her eyes were also wide with tears. Elijah's heart danced with joy, and he felt the happiest he had ever felt before in his life. On the floor was Katherine's coffin. She was groaning in it, trying to get out of the half open hole. She was starving, that's for sure. Elijah flashed up and tugged her out with the help of Kol. Elijah then helped her while she tried to limp back to a car.

"Nothing to see! Go home everyone!" Caroline yelled. Another gasp sounded around the open space. They turned to see a girl no older than 25 lying on the floor. She had somewhat curly chocolate brown locks with ocean blue eyes. She had creamy pale skin and was average height. She sat up slowly and looked frightened.

"Please….. Don't hurt me…" She begged, her voice quivering and her eyes filled with fear and caution.

"Who are you?" Kol asked, looking between Katherine and the mysterious lady. Katherine grunted and motioned for Elijah to stop. He turned her so she was looking at the girl.

"I brought her back from the other side with me. Her name is Melinda Barthemew." Katherine grunted, a smirk rising on her face when she saw Caroline's surprise.

"Kat…." Caroline said, smiling.

"Who is this Melinda Barthemew?" Klaus asked in an irritated voice.

"I remember Silas and Hayley mentioning that name. It was the last name of the witch bloodline who bound my powers." Caroline said, trying to contain her surprise. Klaus perked up in happiness.

"That means…." Kol said. Caroline smiled brightly before she ran, tackling the already pained Katherine into a hug. Katherine grunted and squealed a bit when Caroline did so.

"Ow! Ow! Not the face! Not my beautiful face!" Katherine squealed. Caroline jumped up in fear.

"Sorry! I forgot. Thank you SOOO Much Kat! You are the best! I seriously like love you right now!" Caroline grinned.

"No problem. Now. Let's get going. I'm starved. Literally. And Caroline you're looking a bit pale. Come on. I have the perfect foundation and concealer that will fix that blotchy area up in a millisecond." Katherine said, trying to keep smiling. Without any argument the group headed home, leaving the help to clean their mess and escort the witch to a chamber.

Katherine and Elijah were sitting in their room, watching a chick flick Katherine picked out. It was called the notebook from what Elijah recalled. Elijah was now tickling Katherine out of boredom. Katherine giggled like a small child, trying fruitlessly to wrestle Elijah's hands away from her. She reached her hand into the popcorn bucket and threw a handful of popcorn at him. Along the way a few drops of butter landed on Elijah's white shirt. But this wasn't normal washable butter. It was salty butter. With chocolate syrup mixed in. Katherine had insisted. It was her favorite. It was a definite stain. Katherine was scared. For a second she was genuinely scared. Someone staining Elijah's suits was like someone taking her shoes. They will pay. Elijah then dashed at her and threw her over his shoulder. She squealed and kicked. He flashed outside and threw her into the lit up pool. She laughed once she got in but then looked sad.

"Let me help you out." Elijah sighed, taking out his hanky and placing it on his hand so he could stay a bit dry. He gave her his hand and she pulled him in. They were both soaked. She laughed while he just splashed trying to stay up.

"Does THE Elijah Mikealson not know how to swim?" Katherine asked, going to his side to help him stay up.

"I found it a bit of a fruitless accomplishment." Elijah said bashfully. Katherine laughed, but when he frowned she captured his lips in a kiss.

"Let me teach you then." She said seductively. The two started kissing again, before they heard a shout.

"Not in the pool! Katerina Annemarie Petrova don't you dare remove that tie!" Kol shouted angrily. The two laughed, before carrying on despite Kol and surprisingly Bonnie's shouts of disgust. Eventually Caroline's voice could also be heard among the shouts.

Kol walked around the Mikealson manor out of boredom. He could visit Nik. No he was in a meeting. Katherine and Elijah. Probably off spending quality time. Caroline was trying to search and destroy every online picture of her Katherine made of her wearing the dress. He then felt a mental light bulb. Bonnie Bennet. She still had to find a witchy spell to back up the witch and Caroline. Nik didn't want to send Caroline into the battle and they weren't even sure if the witch could do the spell. He wandered into the Bennet witch's chambers and plopped down on her bed easily. She was in the shower so he started looking through Grimoire's. It was only 5 minutes later the witch came in. She had her short cut straight hair down easily. She was in a royal blue tank top and purple tight cotton shorts. She also had a pair of hot pink fluffy slippers on.

"Cute PJ's." Kol said with a smirk.

"What are you doing here? And did you go through Caroline's phone?" Bonnie asked.

"I'm bored and decided to do some witchy things with you. And yes. Damon and Elena. Though Elena's attire was a bit different I much prefer this…" Kol said, looking at her up and down.

"Uggg! You're insufferable." Bonnie said angrily, but she didn't fight him. She simply got on her bed and picked up more Grimoire's. She started going through them, checking certain pages off with sticky notes.

"Grey sticky notes are what I couldn't read, but from what I caught sounded like something was correct. Green is for spells I think could work." Bonnie explained, pushing a few packs toward him. She curled up so his arm was placed around her shoulders. Kol took it as a sign of her walls breaking and didn't question it, for fear of ruining the moment.

"Oh this sounds perfect!" Bonnie exclaimed.

"Hmmm… it is! And I know just the person to help us….. Check it off with a pink sticky note. We will pitch an idea to Nik tomorrow." Kol said.

"What's that sound?" Bonnie asked. Kol's brow crinkled and he jumped to the window. He saw Katherine and Elijah kissing in the pool. Straight out of a romance novel it was sickening. Kol screamed a few words at them, then Bonnie.

"No! Elijah put your stiff jacket back on! I do not need to see this as your baby brother!" Kol freaked out. Caroline came rushing in, looking worried.

"What are you screaming at?" Caroline asked.

"Elijah and Katherine getting frisky in the pool." Bonnie said, making a barfing motion by putting her hand at her mouth and fake gagging.

"Oh My god…" Caroline said.

"Kat! Don't you dare remove his trousers! No!" Caroline screamed. Kol barfed at the sight before him. Caroline passed out and Bonnie simply closed the blinds in fear. Kol stormed out angrily with Caroline's body.

Klaus had been waiting in his office for all of 5 minutes. He was the bloody original hybrid! His minions should never keep HIM waiting! He was about to get angry when a tan brunette male came in, dressed in baggy jeans and a printed shirt.

"Hello Klaus. I am so sorry to keep you waiting." The vampire said, sitting down.

"Thank you Jared. Now. What was so important you need to speak with me about?" Klaus asked.

"It's about the lady you asked us to watch… Caroline? There's something odd about her." Jared said, looking awkward.

"Yes?" Klaus said.

"In the week we've been watching her we haven't seen her drink a drop of blood. When she gets near blood she looks scared, almost like the blood offended her. She runs away as quickly as possible. It's quite strange. Is she allergic to blood?" Jared asked, trying not to sound like he was joking but ultimately failing. Klaus would have killed the fool for joking about Caroline if not for the new revelation. He stood, and stumbled a bit.

"Thank you, Jared for the information. You are free to leave." Klaus said. Jared didn't need to be told twice. He flashed out of there as quickly as his feet would carry him.

'Bloody Hell. Caroline hasn't fed for days, probably since she was tortured! No wonder she looks like she has been drained. What do I do? How do I convince her to feed again? She went through an…. Unspeakable trauma not even us originals torture subjects can imagine. We knew she was strong, but we were stupid to think even SHE wouldn't experience a small bit of whip lash.' Klaus thought, flashing off to find Elijah. Or the little Salvatore. Or his sister or the liquor cabinet. He stopped in front of Bekah's door. He opened it briskly without thought, but was frozen in place by this sight. He saw his little sister, kissing the rippah! Bloody naked! He flashed away in fear. Of all the things to scare Him… it was his baby sister. He went to Elijah's room and search of the other sibling. He listened first. Hearing nothing he came in. he saw no one. He looked out the window. He had found his brother. He was in the pool. Butt naked with Katerina. The night just kept getting better! He walked out, sulking. He went to find Finn. He went into Finns room and saw Finn, sitting at a desk with Sage across from him. He sat down on the other chair.

"Scram Sage, I need to talk with my brother. Sage opened her mouth to throw back a witty remark but Finn held up a hand.

"Sweetheart, perhaps you should see what Kol and the others are up to? I'll find you in a few minutes. I promise." Finn said, kissing her forehead. Sage calmed down and nodded, walking out.

"Niklaus, what is this possibly about?" Finn asked curiously.

"It's Caroline. She…. She hasn't fed since she was tortured by Silas. When she was first turned her father saw her as a monster. He tortured her by showing her a blood bag then when her vampire features extended he would open up a sun hatch, burning her with the light. Again. And again. And again. She wouldn't let him break her, but this time…. It must have rattled her deeper than we thought. What do I do, brother? She's my light, my only hope. What can I do?" Klaus asked. He looked pathetic, vulnerable, even. He was genuinely scared.
