"Caroline! Come along now." Rebekah cheerfully yelled at her, climbing into the huge carriage. Caroline sighed and took one last look at the mansion that had been her home for the past two years. 'So very bittersweet to leave this grand home. This was most likely the one house I truly loved.'

She adverted her eyes from lavish stone mansion and climbed into the carriage behind Rebekah. Stefan and Bonnie were on one side, and Rebekah on the other. Caroline had no choice but to sit beside her for the journey. Caroline peeked a slide glance at Bonnie, but the dark-haired girl refused to look at her.

Caroline looked past Bonnie and to Stefan, who gave her a sweet smile. She couldn't help but to give him one in return. "I'm so excited to finally be reunited with my brothers! It seems like it's been ages, but I know it hasn't…"

Caroline knew exactly why Stefan and Bonnie had choose to not sit beside the rambling girl. She didn't know if she could put up with Rebekah's constant talking the entire journey, but didn't voice her thoughts out loud.

After Rebekah had finally talked about everything she could think of, seeing her family and Alexander coming to see her once they arrived home the carriage ride seemed to take even longer. The silence didn't help matters either.

She had tried to make herself comfortable so sleep would come, but Caroline seemed to nervous and excited to sleep. Finally after hearing Rebekah snoring and Bonnie and Stefan curled up into their corners, Caroline slept.

The sounds of the carriage stopping woke her from the restless sleep. Caroline pulled herself up and pushed Rebekah off of her shoulder. The other blonde girl grunted as she fell onto the carriage side. 'We can't possibly be there already? Can we?'

Caroline slowly pulled back the curtain of the window and looked outside. The darkness made it hard to see but she could slowly make out the shape of a mansion and a stable, she recognized so well. They had finally made their way back to Scotland.

Caroline was fully awake as she heard someone approach the door from the outside. She turned back and looked at Rebekah who was still fast asleep. Stefan and Bonnie were moving and turning, trying to get comfort to return back to sleep.

The knock on the door broke the silence and everyone is the carriage flew up. Caroline's hand flew to the door handle, but Rebekah quickly slapped it away. Caroline threw daggers at her and watched as Rebekah primped herself for a minute and then opened the door.

Rebekah strolled out first, like she was the Queen and then Caroline could hear her squeals of delight. Stefan gestured for her to go out next, but Caroline shook her head and pointed to Bonnie. Bonnie's eyes bugged out of her head, but stood and made her way out of the carriage.

Caroline didn't say anything, but her eyes pleaded with Stefan for him to go out next. Stefan's shoulders fell as he raised himself, but before he exited stopped in front of her. He gave her one of her favorite smiles and a small peck on the forehead.

Caroline closed her eyes and felt herself be relieved by her friend's comfort. When she opened them, she saw Rebekah's blonde head looking at her from the outside. "Caroline, out of the carriage… this instant." Rebekah's blue eyes glared at her, and Caroline sighed finally giving up.

Caroline rose and made her way to the door, she stepped down out of the carriage and was greeted by faces she hadn't seen for a long time. She looked at the men, recognizing everyone for their looks had not really changed at all.

She looked at Elijah who seemed to be even more handsome now. His hair was cut a little shorter, but his warm brown eyes were still the same. She gave him a small smile and bowed to him. He stepped forward and took her hand, like he had done so many years ago and gave it a small kiss.

"My dear, look how you have grown. Such a beauty to behold." Caroline could feel the blush rising to her cheeks. She was not used to having such attention, especially coming from a man. "Elijah, let me have a good look at her!"

Caroline instantly knew whom the voice belonged to once she heard it. "Kol Mikaelson…" She grimaced as he cockily walked to her. She watched as his eyes, trailed down her body and then back up to her face. "Goodness, you have grown. You've became arousinsg with your beauty, Caroline Forbes."

Caroline's eyes widened at his choice of words, but before she could reply. Stefan stepped in front of her and started angrily at Kol. "Apologize to the lady, now." Caroline watched as Kol gave him a small smirk and then looked past Stefan to Caroline.

"I apologize Caroline… for wanting to get into your knickers." Everyone looked at Kol, stunned at the audacity of his statement. Caroline reacted violently, pushing aside Stefan but before she could reach him, Kol sped off. "The leach will never learn any manners!" Caroline huffed in annoyance.

Caroline didn't bother turning around and speaking with anyone else. She stormed up the stairs and down the long hallways that she still remembered and into the bedroom she once had. The darkness filled the room and Caroline sighed in relief, happy to be alone for once.

A distant cough jolted Caroline into action, her head snapped up until she saw the small light that led into the wash room. She looked around the room for anything that could be used to protect her, but when she found nothing she quickly hid in the closet.

She listened very closely, and could only hear the sounds of two people. 'A man… I know that voice…. And a woman?' Caroline couldn't resist the urge to see what was happening. She stepped out of the closet and slowly tiptoed to washroom's door, which was cracked open.

She squinted her eyes and it seemed to be a red-headed woman in the tub and she was facing someone on the other side of the room. They were talking in quiet mumbles, but she could make out some of what was being said.

The red-headed woman was smiling seductively at the person and batting her eyelashes. 'What a harlot.' Caroline listened as the woman began talking once again. "I know I have to do the spell for your father. It will take a lot of power… that I know. But… once I am done with the spell. Where exactly does that leave us?"

The red-head turned over in the tub, revealing her nakedness to the person she was talking to. Caroline wanted to turn away for the sake of the woman's provocative state, but she didn't. "Well, love… you know what happens between us is for pure pleasure, there will never be anything more between us Genevieve."

Caroline's breath haltered at the man who had replied back to the red-head. 'That's… It's….' Caroline didn't want to spend another moment in the room. She stepped back and without thinking put all her weight on the floorboards, the noise that followed alerting Klaus and Genevieve.

"Who is there?!" Klaus' furious voice shouted from the bathroom. Caroline didn't want to be caught in this type of situation she grabbed her long dress and ran out of the room as fast as she could. She didn't stop running until she found her way to the stables.

She let the tears fall down her face, while her chest tightened from the stress of the day. 'I have been such a fool… for so long.' Caroline didn't know why she had always thought when she returned her affections for Klaus would be returned.

Caroline looked up at her surroundings and noticed that most of the horses from the first time she had been there were gone. The soft neighing from one stable caught her attention as she moved towards the back of the stable.

Caroline smiled as she remembered the horse that she stood in front of "Kasimira, hello pretty girl." The horse came to her, she held out her hand and the horse tried nibbling her palm excepting her usual treat. Caroline laughed and stroked the beautiful horse on the head.

"My, how some things never changed. Have you been a good girl since I've been away?" Caroline rubbed at Kasimira's ears and the horse neighed in response. Caroline had forgotten for a moment all that happened in her old room in the Mikaelson mansion.

She tried to ignore the hurt she had caused for herself, when the door to the stables opened and someone stepped inside. Caroline didn't even bother to look around, afraid of who is might be. The steps became louder as they approached her.

Caroline kept petting Kasmira and finally once the person stopped, she took a deep breath and turned around. She could fell the beating of her heart stop, as she took in his form. He had changed, since the last time she had saw him. His long blonde hair had been cut short, and his appearance was of a proper gentleman.

She watched his eyes take her in, and she couldn't move. Finally his eyes met hers and it seemed as if a word was not spoken for hours. Caroline knew it had only been a matter of minutes but she couldn't force herself to look away. Klaus gave her a breath-taking smile and stepped towards her, speaking in a soft voice "Hello again, Caroline."
