"So what do we do when we get there?" Rebekah asked with disdain as she flipped through her magazine, darting her eyes around the page as the title caught her.
Caroline frowned. "Atleast pretend like your excited Becks." She knew her friend didn't like them but she didn't really feel like stopping another fight between her and Elena, hell, she'd even have to stop Bonnie from trying her witchyroo things on them.
"Well, I'm sorry! It's not my fault I hate the doppelganger after she daggered me!" Rebekah shouted, annoyed about her behaviour. Caroline was like a sister to her but she would be damned if she was to be nice to Elena freakin Gilbert.
The blonde sighed next to her and turned to her boyfriend, stuck. She didn't know what to say. Elena was wrong to dagger Rebekah, and she was wrong to try and kill Klaus. Well, not really to them. They thought it was fine, as long as none of them got hurt.
He tried to kill them. Actually, now that she sees it - all he wanted was hybrids. Which she understood now because of how alone he felt all these years, trying to drive danger away and keep his family safe from Mikael, who - she learned - wanted revenge because Klaus killed Esther.
"Are we there yet?" Caroline called out from the backseat, her tone missing the joy she had five minutes earlier. Klaus frowned and faced his sister, knowing she had caused this.
"What? She was being petty." Rebekah defended herself.
Klaus shook his head at her and took a hold of Caroline's hand, entwining their hands together. She looked up at him and smiled.
"Are you excited?" He asked.
She pursed her lips. "Yeah. I am. I miss my friends and my mom. I think my mom will be harder to do but..-"
He hugged her to him. "You'll be fine. We'll be fine."
She nodded and leaned in closer, wrapping her arms around him as they walked towards the mansion.

"REBEKAH!" Kol screamed as he sped around the house, he was searching for something and none of them knew what. Well, except Rebekah. He had come out of his room, slammed the door, a wooden stake in his hand and his face serious.
"What's your deal!?" Caroline glared at him when he pushed past her, the clipboard that had been in her hand fell to the floor as she staggered back from his push.
He growled in reply and flashed away again.
She shook her head in annoyance. What a douche.
.

"What?" Rebekah walked into the livingroom, confused as to why he called her.
Kol scowled and slammed her to the wall, jamming the stake in her stomach.
"Where is my bat!?" he screamed into her face, furious.
Rebekah sneered at him and winced when he squeezed the stake into her insides.
"Oh I'm sorry! Does that hurt, little sister?" Kol mocked her, leaning in a little bit more, his face instantly changing into a glare.
"That's how my heart feels." He snapped the snake and pressed the remains inside her before flashing away.
Rebekah screamed in irritation and dug her hand inside her chest, taking the wood and squashing it out.
She breathed heavily and slowly let her back slide down the wall.
"That arse."

"Have you seen our brother Nik?" Kol asked, inside his room andapproaching the blonde couple as they lay sat together on the couch next to the fire.
Klaus looked up from his drawing and blinked.
"Sorry- what?"
Kol rolled his eyes when he caught a sneak of what his brother was drawing. "Oh stop drooling! She's asleep for goodness sakes!"
"I know that! But she looks peaceful- wait why am I even telling you this- what do you want Kol?!" Klaus finally decided to ask, pushing his pad next to him and stroking Caroline's face with his free hand.
Kol smiled inwardly at the sight before smirking at his brother. "I can't find Elijah. I want you to help me find him."
Klaus groaned. "No."
Kol furrowed his eyebrows. "Why not?! I need him."
"Well I don't. So scurry off."
"I would, but I won't. And besides, Caroline might give you brownie points for helping a brother out." Kol used his brother's affections for his girlfriend, knowing he wouldn't resist, because of her new unknown grudge against him.
Klaus' eyes jumped widened slightly and Kol could see the battle inside him.
A devilish smile became his face.
"I'll find out why she's mad at you." Kol bargained, his evil mind conjuring ideas.
That got him. Klaus instantly nodded, getting up and laying a chaste kiss on the blonde's lips before speeding out with his brother in tow.
She will never know what hit her, Kol thought.

"Excuse me," Elijah smiled at the woman at the front table. She was a brunette, with a workings badge on her blue shirt. Her kind smile drew Elijah to her direction and he knew she was a worker. "I was wondering if I could get some suggestions on these books."
He layed them on the desk and she pursed her lips at the lost look he had.
"Um, I'm not sure if you'd really go with my kinda books but, here." she placed some infront of him from underneath the desk.
He narrowed his eyes and began to think of his options before picking the red one. "Yes, this one."
The woman nodded and gave him his reciept once he payed.
He thanked her before exiting the bookstore and finding a bar.

"Where's Eli?" Caroline asked Rebekah as she flickered her eyes through her computer screen.
Rebekah scowled. "Caroline.."
The blonde looked up witha confused look, but Rebekah could see the facade.
"Don't play with my brothers. Nik is already gloomy as he is."
Caroline scoffed. "Good for him."
"What did he do that has gotten you so angry?"
"He should tell you himself."
"But he doesn't know what he did."
"Tough luck."
"Caroline..-"
"Don't you have a bat to retrieve?"
They turned their heads and found the older sibling standing infront of them, his hand in his pocket. A bag in his hand.
"Eli!" Caroline smiled, running to hug the brunette.
"I'm sorry I couldn't make it. I had matters to attend to." he told her.
"Oh it's fine. Come on- it's starting."
"What's starting?" Rebekah interrupted, suspicious.
"Nothing sister. It's a secret." Elijah smiled widely.
"Yeah. It's a secret." Caroline giggled and vanished, her computer and Elijah with his stupid bag.
"Wow..Nik is not going to like this.." Rebekah shook her head with a laugh before speeding away to her room.

Klaus frowned when he walked inside his room.
What was wrong with this picture?
Well.
It was dark.
Cold.
And Caroline wasn't in the room.
"Caroline..?" He called out as he opened the light.
The bed was made and untouched.
He ran out the room and walked into his sisters.
"Where is Caroline?" He seethed.
She furrowed her eyebrows. "She's not with you?"
"No." He angrily spat out.
"Oh."
He gave her an annoying glare. "What do you mean 'oh'?"
"She must be with our loving brother." She smirked.
Klaus looked at her confusedly. "Kol?"
She laughed. "No. Guess again."
His expression turned painful and her laughter faded.
"oh."
He simply gulped and turned from her room, speeding out.
Rebekah pursed her lips.
"Oh god.."
Realisation struck.
He thought-
No.
She had figured it out but he hadn't.
She stormed out of her room concerned.
"NIK!"
