Hey Everyone! Thank-you for all your wonderful reviews. Here is my next chapter.
"Come in." Ayana said. Her voice was deep and mystical. It must be a Bennett thing.
Caroline and Stefan walked into the house and Ayana shut the door after them. The house was quite small compared to the Mikaelsons. There was a small bed in the corner, a fireplace in the centre wall and a small table surrounded by chairs in front of it.
"Please, have a seat. Can I get you anything to drink?" Ayana said.
"No thank-you." Caroline said. Stefan and Caroline sat down at the table across from Ayana.
"Tell me, what can I do for you?" Ayana asked.
"Well…" Caroline started and then looked at Stefan.
"What happened is that we're actually from the future. We've been transported here by one of your descendents. She was doing a cleansing spell and somehow we woke up here." Stefan said. Ayana looked at both of them for a while.
"Give me your hands." Ayana finally said. Stefan and Caroline extended their hands. Ayana gently took a hand in each of hers and closed her eyes. After a few moments she opened her eyes and let go of their hands.
"The magic that has sent you here was very powerful dark magic." Ayana said. She looked unhappy and sad.
"Is there no way you can send us back?" Caroline said. What if they were stuck there forever? What would happen when the Mikaelsons were turned into vampires?
Ayana got up and got a book from under her pillow. It looked like the one Bonnie had back at home. She started looking through the grimoire.
"What year are you from?" Ayana asked when she finally stopped flipping pages.
"2013." Stefan said.
"Well, I have found a spell that could send you back however, the years you have travelled is too great. My power alone cannot send you back. Have you spoken with Ester?" Ayana asked.
Stefan and Caroline looked at each other wondering if they should tell her. Finally, Stefan spoke up.
"No we have not spoken to Ester because in the future..." Stefan was interrupted by Ayana.
"I do not want to know what happens in the future." Ayana said sternly.
"Well then, all we can tell you is that you're the only one who can send us back. Telling Ester would affect the future outcomes." Caroline said. Ayana nodded and went back to looking at the grimoire.
"If I have to do this spell alone, I have to gain the power to do so and that can take months or even years." Ayana said.
"You mean we are stuck here until you have enough power?" Caroline was desperate. What were they going to do here during that time? What will their families think? Many thoughts started entering her mind until she finally asked.
"What's going to happen in the future if we are here?" She said.
"Well for now I can do a spell that will prevent the future from changing. But it will not be that powerful and will have some side effects." Ayana explained.
"What kind of side effects?" Stefan asked.
"I am not sure." Ayana said.
Caroline and Stefan nodded in agreement. They were stuck there for now and there was nothing that could be done at the moment. Ayana flipped the page of her grimoire and asked for their hands again. Once she held their hands in hers, she started chanting. The flames in the fire place and lamp roared. Finally, Ayana let go of their hands and told them it was done. Stefan and Caroline got up and were about to leave when Ayana said,
"I don't want this to get to Ester so I will call you when I have enough power. Please do not come here until I call you."
"Why?" Caroline asked. She couldn't bear not knowing the progress.
"When a witch starts to gain power, other witches sometimes become threatened. I have no reason to go against any other witch so Ester cannot know." Ayana said. Stefan and Caroline nodded and left through the door.
They silently walked back to the Mikaelsons trying to accept the fact that they would be there for a while. As they walked on to the Mikaelson property, Rebekah came running towards them followed by Niklaus.
"Caroline, where were you? I've was so worried. I looked everywhere for you." Rebekah said.
"I'm so sorry. When I saw Stefan going to for a walk around the village, I couldn't resist and went with him. You have a beautiful village." Caroline smiled.
"So like Rebekah. Always wanting to tag along with her brother." Kol said as walked towards them.
"Well, at least I'm not sneaking off at night to meet girls." Rebekah said heatedly.
"Enough you too." Niklaus said before became a huge brawl between the younger siblings and woke up the entire village.
"Perhaps you can come with me sometime?" Kol said to Caroline. Rebekah rolled her eyes and took Caroline's hand.
"Anyways, we should retire to our beds. Caroline you are coming with me and Stefan will be sharing with Nik and Kol." Rebekah said as she started pulling Caroline into the house.

Present time
Klaus's POV
"Rebekah! Rebekah!" Klaus yelled as he walked into the living room. Rebekah sat on the couch reading a Cosmopolitan magazine.
"What is it Nik?" Rebekah said without looking up.
"How dare you go against me with those good for nothing fools? They killed Kol and trapped me in that damned living room. I thought family was always first on your list!" Klaus said.
"Nik don't get your boxers in a bunch. I am upset about Kol but you're out now and you know I would never let them use that cure against you. Anyways, there is no cure." Rebekah said. She sounded bored but she was really hurt. All her dreams of being human, getting married and having children went down the dump. But she wasn't going to show anyone that, especially Nik, even though he probably already knew.
Klaus calmed down a bit and went into the kitchen to get himself a drink.
"Get me one too." Rebekah called. Klaus came back with two glasses of scotch and handed one to Rebekah. Rebekah scrunched up her nose but took the drink from his hand anyway. He took a seat on the sofa in front her.
"So what did you find if there was no cure?" Klaus asked. He wanted every detail. There was no way he was going to let this go.
"Nothing, it was chaos. I'm not sure but there could be a possibility that Silas was awakened." Rebekah said seriously. Klaus looked at her for a moment.
"What do you mean he was awakened?" Klaus snarled.
"Well we don't know for sure. The witch said that she felt his presence and that he must have awakened. You know witches can sense those kinds of things." Rebekah said.
Klaus wasn't sure what to think. He had heard a lot of this about this Silas and if those stories were true then there was trouble headed their way. He got up, placed his glass down and started to towards the door when Rebekah flashed in front of him.
"Where are you going?" She asked.
"To that witch, I have a couple of questions for her before I kill her." Klaus said and then all of a sudden, Rebekah screamed while she held her head.
"Bekah? What's happening?" Klaus said as he held onto her.
"I don't know Nik; I'm head's killing me." Rebekah said.
Then Klaus held his head as he went down on his knees. There was pain shooting into his head like he was being electrocuted. His mind was being filled with memories he never had before. There was this beautiful girl with long golden locks in this guy's arms. Caroline? Stefan? What was happening? Suddenly, everything went blank. The memories that he had recalled a few moments ago weren't there anymore. He had just remembered someone but who was it? No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't remember. Rebekah had a confused look on her face as she slowly got off the ground.
"What just happened?" She asked.
"I don't know but I would definitely like to find out." Klaus said as they stood there in daze.
"I'm coming with you." Rebekah said as they started towards the door again.

Damon's POV
"Now that Jeremy is safe, we need to figure out how to keep you safe." Damon said as he started packing Elena's stuff into a backpack.
"Damon I don't want to run. I refuse to spend the rest of my life running like Katherine." Elena said.
"Elena we have no choice. Klaus could be here any moment. We need to leave!" Damon said. They had been arguing the last hour trying to figure out how they can stay safe from Klaus.
"How about we go to Bonnie? She can probably do a safety spell or something." Elena suggested.
Damon thought about it for a moment. He would do anything to keep her safe but he also wanted her to be happy.
"Fine. But if she can't do anything, then we're doing this my way." Damon said seriously and grabbed the packed backpack.
"Agreed." Elena said looking hopeful.
"Let me just call Stefan and tell him to meet us there." Damon said as he called his brother. He waited as the phone rang and then went to voicemail.
"Strange, he's not picking up. Probably with Rebekah." Damon said shrugging as he put his phone away. Elena rolled her eyes. They left the Salvatore boarding house and made their way to Bonnie's house.
They were in front of Bonnie's house. Elena knocked on the door and waited for Bonnie to answer. Bonnie opened the door; she looked like she had been crying for hours. Her eyes were swollen and red. Elena immediately went inside and hugged her.
"Bonnie are you okay?" She asked trying to comfort her. Bonnie continued to cry in her friend's arms as the three of them walked inside. After Bonnie calmed down a bit, Elena asked her again,
"Bonnie what happened? Are you okay?"
"When I came back I was in really bad condition. The dark magic was trying to take over and I was growing weak as I tried to fight it. So I decided to do this cleansing spell I found in Emily Bennett's grimoire. Now I don't have any powers anymore." Bonnie said.
"Bonnie, that's okay. Well it's a good thing. You got rid of the dark magic." Elena said but Bonnie started to cry again. Elena looked at Damon, they were going to have to do this his way after all. There was a knock on the door, Damon went and opened the door.
"Well, well, well. Look who it is, the original finally got himself out and brought his sister too." Damon said sarcastically and smirked.
"I'm not here to see you Damon. Call the witch and tell her to invite us in." Klaus demanded.
"Yeah, I don't think so. But you can definitely wait here all day." Damon said as he went back in.
"Stefan and Caroline were here too. They encouraged me to do the spell and helped set up. During the spell…something went wrong….and…." Bonnie stopped.
"And?" Damon was getting impatient. He had a bad feeling about this.
"They disappeared." Bonnie whispered.
Everyone froze. Damon stood there not believing what he had just heard. Suddenly, there was a huge bang. Klaus was trying to get through the door but wasn't having any luck. Rebekah and Elena stood there shocked.
"Witch! What did you do?!" Klaus yelled.
Damon flashed towards Bonnie, grabbed her by her neck and held her up against the wall.
"What do you mean they are gone?" Damon threatened. His eyes went black and the veins under his eyes became more visible. His fangs exposed. Bonnie wiggled around unable to breathe.
"Damon let go of her." Elena said as she came up beside him. Damon slowly loosened his grip and let Bonnie go. Bonnie took in a few deep breathes and cried again.
"I was doing the spell and in the middle there was a flash of light and they were gone. I don't know if they are alive or not. The spell didn't say anything about a sacrifice but…" Bonnie said amidst her cries.
Damon's anger knew no bounds he went for the kill but Elena managed to get in between and held him off.
"Bonnie run!" Elena said.
Bonnie quickly got up and ran to the back but if she left the house, then Klaus and Rebekah would kill her. She ran to the back room, her gram's room and cried.
Damon got a hold Elena and flipped her so she was facing away from him He held her in a headlock position,
"Just because I love you doesn't mean I will let go of this. I'm going to kill Bonnie one way or another. My brother comes before all of this." Damon said and snapped her neck. Elena's lifeless body fell to the ground and dashed forward looking for the witch. He ran to the back of the house and found Bonnie kneeling on the floor, eyes closed and chanting something.
"You're dead witch. You have no powers." Damon said as he charged towards the room but couldn't get in. It must be the spirits. He hit his hand against the invisible barrier.
"Damn it!" Damon yelled as he hit the protective barrier over and over again.
"Listen up witch! If you take one step out of this house, I will kill you!" Damon spat.
Elena had woken up and went to the back where Bonnie and Damon were.
"I'm so sorry." Bonnie said over and over again.
Damon rushed out of the house as fast as he could. He heard Elena call after him and he even heard Klaus threaten Bonnie that burning her house would be too easy but he will be waiting with the most painful death when she steps out. But all of that didn't matter to him, his brother was gone.
I know Caroline and Klaus interactions are most awaited however, I felt this chapter was necessary to get the story underway. I promises the next chapter will be up very soon! maybe even within 24hours :) Please leave your reviews! Thanks!
