Klaus and Rebekah reached the airport in record time thanks to Klaus' nagging and having practically prised Rebekah out of the house and into the taxi. They had left their cars at the mansion in Virginia attempting to leave no trace on were they were fleeing. Ayana had even had the liberty to give them fake passports so the two of them were, in the eyes of the stewards and staff of Charlottesville Airport, they were Emily and Archie James, brother and sister born in London. At least they didn't have to put on a fake accent again, as they had had too going to Japan.

"Come on Rebekah" Klaus pushed, dragging his suitcase hastily across the airport floor attempting to reach the deserted check in desk. Rebekah huffed and hurried along following her brother whilst staring frantically around the airport hoping not to catch sight of the man she feared above all, her father.

The two of them reached the check in, they had 10 minuted before the thing even opened, Klaus checked his pockets for his 'passport' and brandished it, placed his rather modest suitcase in front of him and took a look at his new name and place of birth. It always surprised him how well Ayana managed to make these passports at such short notice, he had a feeling that she had a cupboard full of them for his whole family, he smiled at the image, how ridiculous.

Rebekah pouted beside him, staring wide eyes around the airport clutching onto the large bag slung over her shoulder, he knew what she was apprehensive about, and to be honest, he wasn't totally fine himself, but he knew they had evaded Mikael so far, no one had been following their taxi. "Calm down Rebekah, he's not here, we're fine." His words didn't seem to faze her and she continued to look nervously around the airport.

"Why do we always have to be early Nik? It's annoying, we're always waiting for hours to board the flight, must you always be so punctual?"

He turned towards her, "Dear sister, with the amount of luggage you insist on bringing, we have to be at least 3 hours early just to wait for them to get it all onto the plane, I'm honestly not surprised your bags haven't brought one of the planes down yet, it wouldn't surprise me." He turned away from her again, plugging his earphones into his ears and drowning out her whining voice and the vexing mull of the crowds.

Caroline sat on her suitcase praying the it would close this time. She found the zip and dragged it with all the might until it met the other, with a huge grin on her face she threaded the pad lock through the little holes and snapped it shut placing the little key into her hand luggage bag.

"Come on Caroline, were going to be late!" She heard Elena's voice from outside and quickly picked up her passport and phone and headed out of the door. In all truth when Elena had informed her that everyone was coming to Paris she felt kind of deflated, initially she had been excited to spend time with Tyler, but as the day went on she grew rather accustom to the idea, it was going to be a mini adventure and she was happy to be spending it with the people she loved.

She heard a knock on her door and turned around expecting Elena but found her mother instead. Liz came into her room and hugged Caroline tightly, "oooh have fun sweetie, I'll be worried about you - your first holiday with your friends." Caroline rolled her eyes, "I'll be fine Mom, think of it as me gaining my independence." Liz chucked and kissed her daughters cheek, "I'll miss you."

"I'll miss you to Mom." She hugged her again and made her way outside.

She reached the car, Tyler bent down and picked up her suitcase she gave him a small peck on the lips before getting into the back seat with Bonnie, Elena and Damon sat in in front of them whilst Tyler was driving and Jeremy called shot gun. Maybe she wasn't so thrilled with spending the next few days in the constant company of bloody Damon Salvatore, but she wouldn't complain, Elena was in love and they were going to freaking PARIS for god sake!

Liz waved from the door and bless her a kiss before disappearing inside.

"All ready?" Tyler shouted from the drivers seat.

"We're all good Lockwood, now lets get there!" Damon replied, "And step on it, Blondie already made us late insisting on packing 2 tonne of condoms." Caroline rolled her eyes, laughing when Elena slapped her boyfriends arm. Damon only shrugged "Hey, I didn't say I wouldn't borrow any." He winked at Elena who giggled and kissed his cheek. Bonnie nudged Caroline's shoulder and the two of them rolled their eyes at the newly formed couple as they made there way down the drive.

Klaus' phone buzzed in his pocket and withdrew it, seeing a text from his brother he opened it.

Ayana has informed me of your situation,

I am more than happy for you too stay with me,

when should I be expecting your arrival?

- Elijah

Klaus quickly replied that they were in the duration of boarding a flight and should be with him sometime the next day.

Having dumped their bags at the check-in desk the siblings went into the closest Starbucks, Rebekah wasn't too fond of flying and always needed something hot and sweet to keep her from freaking out, sucking on a boiled sweet was no use, Klaus had tried it on their flight to America and she'd almost asphyxiated twice, he wasn't going to risk it a third time.

"Why do you think he came for us Nik?" Rebekah asked rather sheepishly, spinning her coffee mug between her hands. Klaus shrugged calmly, "You know what he's like Bekah, he won't stop looking for us, he believes we are in the wrong, as per usual." His eyes were cold, rage and hatred clear through his features, Klaus looked down at the scratched wooden table, he didn't want to think about Mikael, they were getting away from him, that was the main thing.

The two of them remained in Starbucks for another hour before venturing off towards customs, one place Rebekah was not looking forward too, because although they had used fake passports once before, the prospect of getting caught still frightened her to death.

"Passport" A grey haired man asked, holding his chubby hand out for Rebekah, she took a deep breathe as to calm herself and handed over her fake identity. She watched the man as he examined her details and prayed silently that all would be well. She glanced at her brother whom stood calmly next to the box across from her, it contained a woman guard, and the woman began to laugh Rebekah knew he'd used his apparent charm to defer her from the fake identity. She rolled her eyes.

She felt a tap on her back and her heart stopped.

She turned around slowly, relieved to see that it was only the man handing her back the passport. He grinned a gummy smile towards her and nodded his head. "You have a nice trip missy." he said, Rebekah gave a tight smile and walked away. Thanking her lucky stars that they'd got away with it, the excitement of a new life overwhelming her in that moment and she laughed aloud, in just over a day, she'd be back in Europe, maybe not the place where she was from, no not England, but she supposed Paris would suffice.

"No Bonnie, we're already behind schedule, look, we'll be at the airport in" Tyler stopped to check his watch "17 minutes, can't you hold on till then?"

Bonnie shook her head, and replied through gritted teeth "No Tyler, you don't understand, it's..you know...the time of th-"

"Okay Okay" Damon covered his ears "I think we've heard enough thank you, come on Tyler, just let the lady go." Damon shook his head and continued playing with Elena's hair.

Tyler gave a exaggerated sigh and moments later stopped outside a Taco Bell, Bonnie quickly unbuckled her belt, climbed over Elena and ran to the loo's, Tyler got out of the car after her and went into the restaurant. Perplexed Caroline yelled "Tyler, what're you doing?"

He turned towards here, his shoulders raised "Well, we're here, I may as well get some food." Shrugging, he entered.

Caroline groaned and hunched back in her seat slightly annoyed at their predicament, she checked the dash, it read 7:36pm. The control freak in her began to panic, they were flying at 9 and rule dictated that they have to be at the airport three hours early. She mentally begged her friends to hurry the hell up, she was getting Paris on time and that was that. After 18 minutes, Caroline had timed, Tyler along with 2 bags of food and Bonnie carrying a drink, emerged from the fast food joint, she breathed a sigh of relief, they were fine, they would make it.

Tyler sat back in her drivers seat and turned towards everyone, "What does everyone want, I've got, chicken wings, fries, hot wing and more chicken wings.." Elena grabbed a pack of fries whilst Damon went for a bucket of wings, Jeremy helped himself to the hot wings and Bonnie just sipped on her pepsi. Caroline stared at them all in disbelief, they were already late! Hadn't Tyler just said that!?

"What the hell is everyone doing!?" She stated her arms outstretched, pointing towards the time on the dash she said "We fly in just over an hour and we still have to check in and everything, stop eating and drive Tyler!?" She gave him a stare as he licked grease of'a his fingers, giving the remainder of his food to Jeremy, whom took it gladly, he started the car.

Klaus and Rebekah sat at gate 5 awaiting their flight. Rebekah was equipped with 3 magazines, her carry on bag and a cup of coffee, her 4th so far. Klaus however only held his rucksack which contained one book, A James Joyce classic and a crossword book, Rebekah had teased him of being an old man for buying it, he'd only rolled his eyes and laughed when she bought the celebrity filled crap she always enjoyed.

"Would all passengers on flight 673 to Paris please make their way to gate 5 to begin boarding."

Rebekah stood up hastily, clutching her bag to her chest, she looked down at Klaus who had remained seated. "Come on Nik" She pressed picking up his bag. Klaus only crossed his legs in front on him and shook head. "Rebekah only the fools get on first, why should we rush, we had allocated seats what's the hurry?" He grinned. The blonde only shook her head and made her way to the rapidly growing queue. Some moments later Klaus followed her into the line as she neared the guard.

Rebekah grinned up at him, "Are you excited Nik? About seeing Paris?"

Klaus looked at his sister's smile and knew that she was, but he seemed indifferent towards their new destination. To him it was just another location they would enjoy for a few months, at best a year, and then have to leave again, it would be like that for the foreseeable future so these new places never seemed to excite him the way it did his sister. However he would never allow her to know that, so he gave her a grin and nodded his head, "Ecstatic."

She laughed. "Just think, we'll be in Paris tomorrow night!"

"I told you you should have waited!" Tyler glared at Bonnie and they ran through the airport clutching onto their passports and boarding passes.

"Shut up Tyler you were the one who bought all the food, that wasted way more time!" Jeremy shouted grabbing hold of Bonnie's hand as they neared Gate 5. The boys glared at each other as they reached their gate. Caroline rushed forward towards the steward. "We're so sorry we're late." she panted thrusting her boarding pass and passport into the man's hands, he checked them over and handed them back.

"You guys are lucky, this flight was scheduled to take off 5 minutes ago, be thankful that the fuel was low." Caroline thanked the man and rushed through the connector onto the plane. A women greeted her at the entrance of the plane, she had one of those smiles that all stewardess wore, a I'm-being-paid-to-be-nice-to-you kind of smile. She handed Caroline back her pass and she walked towards her seat. Looking down her pass, it showed that she was sitting at the back of the plane, she smiled, she loved the back, it mean't you got your food first.

She saw Tyler arrive moments later and patted the seat beside her beckoning him to join, but he shook his head and continued down the aisle, she stared after him and lost sight of him as he carried on. "Oh. Well." she said in a small voice. Caroline waited for the others to arrive and found that she was seated next to Damon and Jeremy whilst Bonnie was across from Jeremy and Elena was sitting with Tyler at what she presumed was the front.

Annoyed, she sighed and stared out of the window. Why did Elena get to sit next to her boyfriend? Whilst she was stuck with Elena's boyfriend, who would without doubt piss her off until they touched down and her whiny brother who would be gawking at Bonnie for the next 20 something hours. Urrgh!

Then it struck her, why didn't they just switch? That'd make life easier for everyone. Caroline unbuckled her seat belt and went collected her things for the floor, Damon gave her a questioning look as she shoved passed them and skipped down the aisle until she reached Elena.

"Hey Elena, do you think you could swap places, I mean I'm stuck with Damon and I know your soo in love with him so I'm sure you won't dislike as much as I will." She laughed, Elena smiled and rolled her eyes but seemed unsure. "Are you sure we can do that Care? I mean are we allowed?" Caroline nodded her head. "Sure, someone is still sitting in those seats right?" Elena nodded "Okay sure!" she unbuckled her seat belt grabbing her bag, "Have fun you two!" she grinned, "See you in beautiful PARIS!" She shouted and laughed before waving goodbye to Tyler and Caroline as she made her way towards the back of the plane,

Klaus watched the clouds from the window as they broke through them as the plane reached altitude, the sun beamed brightly through the window causing him to close the shutter. He shuffled uncomfortably in the chair, plugging his earphones into the sockets and switching on his ipod.

Rebekah nudged him moments later, her eyes still a little red after crying during take off, he'd laughed, naturally. "God Nik, you did you book us into coach!?" She huffed, flicking roughly through one of her many magazines. He reclined his chair slightly, hearing someone sigh loudly behind him, ignoring it he replied: "Bekah love I told you before, this aeroplane doesn't have a first class.."

"Why are we on it then?!" she exclaimed

He turned towards her "Would you rather be facing Mikael right now, or sat here perfectly safe? Yes, it is a little uncomfortable but be grateful we got away, this was the earliest flight I could book Rebekah, now live with it." He turned away from her and turned his ipod volume up to it's highest leaning back and closing his eyes, he reclined the chair further and moments later an angry face popped around Rebekah's chair.

"Hey, would you stop it man, my girlfriends got no room." A dark haired boy said eyeing up the two siblings. Rebekah rolled her eyes and picked up a new magazine. "Whatever." The boy groaned and his face disappeared for her view.

A few moments later she felt someone kneeing her back, and was about to shout at the man behind her when she saw him stand and run to the bathroom, seeing it was the dark haired boy who had spoken to her earlier, she laughed.

Klaus felt Rebekah nudge him, it awoke him from a rather disturbing dream so he was rather thankful. "mmm" he wondered rubbing the sleep from his eyes. Rebekah 's face seemed rather pained, "are you okay?" he wondered pulling his earphones from his ears.

She nodded, "I'm fine, fine, it's just I'm bursting for the toilet and I think this guys being sick in there." She pointed towards the toilets situated nearest to them. Desperate, she lifted herself from the seat and looked around the plane. "I'm going to go find one near the back." She explained, Klaus nodded and returned to his music.

Caroline was starting to get tired, and Tyler still hadn't come back from the bathroom, her guess was that he was still up-chucking all those chicken wings from earlier, Carol had warned her he wasn't a good flyer, she'd been right.

She lean't back in her chair, trying not to recline it and give as much discomfort to the person behind her as the ignorant person in front of her was giving her. She was about to close her eyes and attempt to sleep when she heard what sounded like a whistle. It carried on for a few seconds.

Minutes later she heard an huge explosion coming from behind. Screams rang in her ears. Something banged against her forehead, she looked up and saw that the oxygen masks had been released, the screams grew more blood-curdling as a sound like steel breaking infiltrated her ears.

She screamed Tyler's name as whistling overtook the screams ringing in her ears. She screamed again but he never came.

Then everything went black.

Hope you all enjoyed it!
