Hey Everyone! So sorry for taking so long! Thank-you to all who left reviews! Hope you enjoy this next chapter!
The night was coming to an end and Rebekah and Stefan wanted to retire to their home to be alone. Rebekah and Stefan were told to stand beside each other and everyone lined up on both sides forming a pathway. They held torches in their hands lighting the path all the way to their home. Rebekah and Stefan held hands and started walking through. People cheered as they walked past them. They felt so special as if they were royalty. As they reached their home, people started to leave. Again they congratulated them and wished them the best. Once everyone left, Stefan opened the door. Rebekah was about to step inside when Stefan said,
"Wait."
"Why?" Rebekah asked. Stefan smiled and picked her up in his arms bridle-style. She put her hands around his neck smiling. He walked over the threshold and kicked the door close behind him. Rebekah kissed him knowing that now they were together officially without any sneaking around. Stefan carried her to their room and placed her on the bed. Rebekah pulled him onto the bed with her.
"You are in a hurry." Stefan smirked and then kissed her neck. Rebekah closed her eyes enjoying the feeling of his lips on her skin.
"Not in hurry, just..." She blushed but her eyes sparkled with excitement.
"I know." Stefan said. He understood how she felt was exactly how he felt. He crashed his lips to hers just beginning the to-be long first wedded night.

Klaus slid his hand up and down her back as they lay there in peace. The gathering must be long gone by now. Caroline looked up at him, her green eyes gazing into his. She smiled and then got up.
"I think we should get going. Everyone's probably wondering where we disappeared to." Caroline said.
"On the contrary love, I think they are reminiscing about the wedding that just occurred or drunk and asleep." Klaus said as he got up. They both put on their clothes. Caroline blushed when she saw Klaus staring at her as she dressed. Klaus smiled, she had to know how beautiful she is. He walked over to her and kissed her. Caroline was surprised at first but then responded to his moving lips on hers. He then pulled back.
"You are beautiful Caroline and you are the only woman I will ever want to be with." He whispered in her ear. She smiled and kissed his lip.
They walk out into the dark village hand in hand. The moon brightly lit the sky along with the all the stars.
"It looks so beautiful." Caroline said as she looked up at the moon.
"Not as beautiful as you, sweetheart. It will be a full moon in two days. Do you remember your first time in the caves?" Klaus smirked. Caroline blushed red and then smiled.
"I still don't know how I made you stay with me the whole night." Caroline said. Klaus smirked and then took her hand.
"Well, you held onto my hand like this." He demonstrated. "And then you turned around like this holding on to it." Klaus said.
"Well, you could have pulled it out." She suggested.
"And wake you from your sleep, love?" Klaus said as he mocked a dramatic expression.
"Nik!" Caroline said loudly.
"Shhhhhh. You will wake the whole village." Nik said jokingly. They continued to walk to Caroline's house.
"Okay, but you were going to kiss me that morning. How are you going to explain that?" Caroline smiled.
"Caroline, I was always drawn to you, but I was seeing Tatia at that time. You do not know how confusing it was for me. My mind was always on you." Klaus said. He truly meant it. Back then, he would be with Tatia but his thoughts were constantly about Caroline.
They had finally arrived in front of her home. Klaus walked her to the front door.
"Want to come spend the night. I think Rebekah and Stefan will be too absorbed…to notice." Caroline said seductively.
"I would love to but I don't think Stefan would be too pleased to find me here in the morning." Klaus said. Caroline pouted but then she placed her arms around him and gently kissed his lips making it last. She hoped it would cave him into coming in. He pulled away and smiled.
"Nice try love." He said. Just then they heard noises coming from inside the house. Klaus's expression was incredulous. Caroline rolled her eyes, couldn't they be quieter she thought. She didn't even want to think about it.
"I don't think I want to go home today." Caroline said as she took Nik's hand and walked away. He didn't say anything and followed Caroline. Caroline was glad he didn't say anything. It would have been an awkward conversation. "So where can we spend the night?" She said as she tried to take their minds off what they had just heard.
"I have an idea. Come on love." He said after a moment.
After walking for a while, they reached the field. Klaus lied down and Caroline slept beside him resting her head on his shoulder as they looked up at the star filled sky.
"So tell me about your family." Nik said.
"What do you want to know?" She asked. She didn't know how to explain that she was from the future.
"About your parents, Stefan said you two had a brother." Nik said.
"Well, my father was my best friend for the longest time. I would talk to him about everything. However, there came a day when he found out something and tried to condition me by torturing me. But, I don't want to talk about that. My mom and I were not very close at first, but as she knew me better, we became closer." She knew that she couldn't tell him everything but most of what she told him was true.
"What about your other brother?" Nik asked.
"Damon? He was never a brother. He was manipulating, he used for his own purposes and he was cruel. And he called me Barbie." Caroline said and then shut her eyes. She had mentioned Barbie which was not invented till later.
"What's Barbie?" He asked. Caroline thought quickly.
"It's a name for this doll in our village with blond hair." She pouted at the thought.
"So I guess Stefan is your favourite sibling." Nik said.
"Stefan is my only sibling." Caroline said. "But it seems like Rebekah and Henrik are your favourites."
"Well, I would not say favourites. I mean Rebekah gets quite irritating and Henrik always wants to tag along, but I get along with them the best." Nik smiled.
"Kol?" Caroline asked.
"Yes, Kol is quite a character." Nik chuckled. "But you two are quite close."
"Yes, he is one of my good friends." Caroline said.
"You two were friends from the beginning?" Nik asked. He was curious to find out whether she had anything with Kol.
"Well he was interested in me, but I told him I was not interested." Caroline said.
"Oh yes, Rebekah told me about that." Nik smirked.
"What else did she tell you?" Caroline got up and looked at him.
"Nothing." Nik said with a mischievous smile.
"Nik! She probably told you everything." Caroline pouted. Nik brought her back to him and held her close.
"There is nothing to be ashamed of, love." He said and then he kissed her forehead. "So tell me how it was when you lived with your family in your village." Nik asked.
"Well, it was nothing special. But I miss my two friends sometimes, Elena and Bonnie. We pretty much grew up together. I hope I will be able to see them again someday." Caroline said.
"I am sure you will." Nik said. Caroline bit her lip as she wondered whether she should say this or not.
"Nik, do you believe in magic?" Caroline asked slowly.
"Ofcourse, sweetheart. My mother is an example of magic. Why do you ask now?" Nik asked.
"Nothing really, I was wondering about time travel." Caroline said. She didn't know where this was going but she hated hiding the truth from him.
"I do not really know anything about it. Why do you plan on time traveling?" Nik joked.
"Maybe, perhaps change the past so we would have met faster." Caroline laughed. She didn't plan on saying anything more.
She moved closer to him resting her arm on his chest and soon they drifted off to sleep.

The next morning Stefan and Rebekah woke up to a knock on the door.
"I will go see who it is." Stefan said. Rebekah sat up beside him in bed with sheets covering her up. She held onto his arm.
"No, I will go." Rebekah said as she slipped out of bed and put her dress on. She tried to tame her long hair as she walked to the front door. Once she was satisfied that her hair didn't look too out of place she opened the door.
"Caroline, I did not realize that you were not at home." Rebekah said and then blushed.
"Good morning. Well, I did not want to… disturb you two last night." Caroline said and then looked at Nik, who was looking away at something far. Caroline walked into the house and Nik followed.
"I will see you later, love." Nik said as he chastely kissed Caroline on her head and said goodbye to Rebekah.
"You two spent the night together." Rebekah stated with excitement after Nik left. Caroline nodded and blushed. "No wonder I did not see you during the end ceremonies. Tell me everything!" Rebekah said.
"Not now, later. I think we still have to do our last ceremony." Caroline said.
"Oh right, I will go get Stefan. We have to get ready first." Rebekah said as she went to Stefan and her room.
Once they were all ready, Stefan gave Rebekah keys to the house and then he kissed her. Caroline turned away from the newly-weds and went to the kitchen to make breakfast. After they all had breakfast, Rebekah took Stefan out.
"Where are we going?" Stefan asked.
"You will see." Rebekah said as they walked towards these caves. Once they entered the caves, Stefan saw that there was a torch burning on the side.
"I don't remember this cave. Have we ever been here?" Stefan asked as he looked around.
"No, this is kind of a private cave." Rebekah said as she picked up the torch from the side and walked to the other side of the cave. There Stefan saw all the Mikaelson's names carved into the cave wall. He found Niklaus, Finn and Kol…
"Give me your blade." Rebekah said. Stefan handed her the small blade he had on his belt. She took it from his hands and carved his name beside hers.
"Now we will always be together." Rebekah said admiring her work. Stefan put his hands around her waist.
"Forever." He said as he held onto her tightly and kissed her cheek.

It was the day of the full moon and everyone was getting prepared for the night. They were bringing their sleeping needs to the caves.
"Caroline, where are you going?" Rebekah asked.
"To the forest to get some berries." Caroline said as she walked out the front door.
"Be sure to come back before nightfall." Rebekah called after her.
Caroline walked through the woods looking for berry bushes. She was certain they were around here somewhere, Henrik had shown them to her once when they were looking for flowers for the wedding. Caroline continued to walk deeper into the woods suddenly, her foot hit something and she hit her head hard on the nearby tree. She feels her head become heavy and her eyes start to blur. She slowly fell to the ground.
Rebekah, Kol, Henrik, Finn and Elijah were at the caves now along with Ester and Mikael. Nik and Stefan walked in. Rebekah was relieved to see her husband. It was close to night fall and the moon was already out it wouldn't be long till the moon reached its apex.
"Where is Caroline? She should have been back by now." Rebekah said worriedly. Stefan and Nik look at Rebekah.
"Caroline is not here?" Nik asked glaring at her.
"Rebekah, where did Caroline go?" Stefan asked.
"She went to get berries and said she would be back soon but I have not seen her yet. I have searched all the caves and tunnels. I have asked everyone, but no one has seen her." Rebekah said.
"I am going to go look for her." Stefan said as he was about to walk out he was stopped by Klaus.
"No, I will go." Nik said and left before anyone could say anything.
He swiftly walked through the forest looking for any sign of Caroline. He continued to walk deeper and deeper into the woods but no avail. Nik became worried and horrible thoughts started to invade his mind but he pushed them aside. No, his Caroline would be fine and he was going to find her. He kept looking as he increased his speed. Then he saw something behind a far off tree, it was a purple cloth. He quickly ran towards it and there she was on the ground unconscious. There was dried blood on her head and she lay there still.
"Caroline. Love. Please wake up." Nik tried to awake her. He put his finger by her nose and felt the air. She was breathing. "Caroline. Sweetheart."
"Huh." Caroline's eyes fluttered open. "Nik." She started to get up and Nik helped her.
"Are you alright love?" He asked.
"Yes. Just a little light headed." Caroline said as she held her head.
"Come on, we must get back to the caves as soon as we can." Nik said as he held her hand and started to walk back to the caves.
Caroline didn't realize she had gone too deep into the woods. They continued to walk back when they heard howling. Caroline gasped. Nik held her close and took her to the nearest tree. He put his index finger on his lips asking her to keep silent and then he leaned in and whispered into her ear.
"We have to run."
Caroline nodded and they started to run back as fast as they could hand in hand. Caroline tried her hardest to keep up with Nik. They ran until Nik came to a sudden stop. Caroline almost collided into his back. She looked over his shoulder. They were surrounded by wolves. Nik kept her behind him still holding onto her hand. They slowly walked backwards as the wolves came nearer and nearer.
