A/N Two chapters in one day! Hope you like it!

Caroline POV

"Well that was creepy. And seriously why do people think I like Klaus? I mean he has really cute blue eyes and a sexy body..." Caroline trailed off as she realised what she was saying. It was one thing to have these thoughts and a whole new kettle of fish to blurt them out to your ex-enemy and a random stranger.

"Well Barbie that was interesting. But now we can go home. I mean I don't get what Mummy Mikaelson is up to but I don't care. She gave us the key home. Let's get cracking witchy" Katherine was uncharacteristically excited. Maybe it was because she had another shot at getting Elijah back. Maybe because she had forgotten what being alive meant. But she was desperate for a second chance with Elijah. I'm not too proud to say I love Elijah and want to apologise. But Barbie is in total denial. When we get home I'm going to get them together.

"Okay I have the dagger. Sophie you start the spell and tell us what we need to do" Caroline too was eager to get home. Although she wasn't sure where home was anymore but as long as it had her mom she would be happy. Maybe I could even give Klaus a chance. He is so gorgeous and can be nice. Sometimes.

"Pass me the dagger now Caroline. Revertere ad nostrum." Sophie chanted after Caroline gave her the dagger. She used it to spill a little of her blood and then motioned for Katherine and Caroline to do the same. They all spilt their blood in a circle around the dagger. It began glowing a subtle luminescent blue. The spell was working. "Now everyone touch the dagger"

They all placed a finger on the dagger after linking hands. After all if they wanted to get home they had to stick together. Sophie made her final chant. They felt as if they were being pulled from all directions. Caroline's vision blurred, Katherine's legs shook and Sophie was dizzy. They collapsed. The darkest darkness flooded the room and took with it the three girls.

Klaus POV

"What do you mean little witch?! You will save her or I will kill all of your friends" Klaus threatened Davina as she informed him that there was nothing she could do. He would do anything to save his love. He grabbed Cami. "Find something. NOW! Or I will not hesitate to kill Cami"

"Please Klaus. Let me go. You don't want to do this" Cami pleaded as he began squeezing her neck.

"Klaus stop it. There's nothing I can do. I'm sorry" Davina was all but begging for her best friend and sister.

"Let her go Niklaus. You must mourn" Elijah commanded Klaus. He was sorry for his brother but he had to be stopped. Niklaus' rage burned brighter than any sun and hurt more than a thousand years of pain. It had to be stopped.

"Yes Nik. I'm sorry but you have to let Cami go" Rebekah joined in as she watched Cami turn slowly redder and struggle to breathe. Klaus eventually relented and released Cami. She massaged her neck softly trying to relieve the pain.

Klaus sank down onto the ground. He didn't hear his sibling's cries. He didn't feel them trying to stand him upright. He didn't feel anything. He didn't see Stefan comfort Rebekah when Elijah still couldn't get Klaus up. He felt nothing. He saw nothing. He was nothing without his love. Why her? Why not me? I am over a 1000 years old. Why did you take her? I have lived my life. Hers has only just begun. That's why he didn't see her when she first appeared. But he heard Stefan's cry of "Caroline"

"Stefan I'm alive! We did it!" Caroline burst out happily. She quickly looked around and she saw Katherine and Sophie appear shortly after her. "We're alive!" She ran over to them and the three girls held hands and started jumping up and down. It was an unusual sight to say the least.

Katherine Pierce, the famed survivor, was giddily jumping up and down screaming that she was alive. The girls disentangled themselves and Katherine ran over to Elijah.

"Elijah I am so sorry. I have had a year to reflect and I am so sorry. Can we start again?" Katherine asked shyly. Her old confidence seemed to disappear when she spoke to Elijah. She seemed genuine and sincere.

"Katerina I have loved you for so long and I will always do so." Elijah professed his feelings before she seized him and began kissing him.

"Okay Kat. I'm really glad you got your happy ending but seriously too much PDA. Get a room" Caroline teased. They had formed a relationship in the time they were trapped and it was one that would stand the test of time.

"Yeah I don't need to see that and you're welcome by the way" Sophie left to find Marcel. She was back and wanted her happy ending too. Caroline was nice and Katherine was well Katherine but she didn't have that easy relationship with them that they had with each other. And well she felt a little out of place.

"Thank you Sophie. I better leave too and go home. See my mom" Caroline's happiness was slightly dimmed as she realised that Klaus hadn't said a word since she came back. Maybe he didn't love her anymore.

"Care your mom is fine and I already told her. She's coming" Stefan hugged Caroline. They were best friends and he knew what she was thinking. But she didn't know Klaus would've died for her.

"Love don't leave. My offer still stands" Klaus finally spoke. He had been so lost in his feelings that he nearly lost Caroline again. She was the spark to his fire and he wanted her love. No he craved it.

"I suppose I can stick around for awhile. Especially given that you're asking Nik" she emphasised his nickname to show that she was willing to try. "Anyway I have all I need here now. My mom, my best friend, a sister and maybe even you"

"Well then I propose a toast. To our new happy family. May we always and forever be happy" Elijah poured them all a glass of wine. They clinked their glasses and drank. Maybe they could all have a happy ending.

Epilogue...A year later

Caroline and Klaus

"I still can't believe my mother helped you" Klaus said as Caroline put pictures all over the wall. There were paintings and photos interspersed depicting their lives. The lives of the Mikaelsons. He watched as she carefully tacked her favourite photo of them on the wall. It was taken a week after they returned. He had thrown a ball in her honour to introduce her as the Queen of New Orleans. They were standing in the middle surrounded by all of their family. He had worn a blue shirt that matched his eyes and Caroline a white dress splashed with shades of blue. They were happy.

"Well if she didn't I would never been able to discover the true you" Caroline confessed with a smile. She had given Klaus a chance and it was the best decision she had ever made. She got to see the artistic, passionate Klaus who treated her like the Queen she became. They had travelled the world and lived their lives to the full. The best thing was that even her mom approved.

Katherine and Elijah

They were still asleep. Katherine carefully nestled into Elijah's shoulder with a blissful smile. Elijah held her with a great deal of tenderness even in sleep. They finally got the love that they had been denied 500 years ago. She was still the same fierce Katerina who captivated him but since returning she had become more playful and well human. He was still the same noble, gallant Elijah but her return gave him hope. Maybe everyone could be redeemed. Katherine awoke. She stared into the same face that she had dreamt about and counted her stars that she too was worthy of love. Her death was almost a rebirth.
