She wakes up to the world on fire, even from the protection of the forest she can feel the heat of the burning city. Her head is cradled on somebody's lap, strong and warm hands caressing her face, tilting her jaw up as another pair of hands makes her drink water from a plastic cup.
Her eyelids flutter open and she finds two dark-haired men leaning over her, looking concerned. It takes her a second to recognize them through the haze of her head before she tries to scramble and get away. The wooziness makes her stop though and Kol's arms are gentle as he pulls her back in a backwards embrace, her back to his chest, keeping her from collapsing to the ground.
Enzo is giving her a bemused grin. "Careful, love. You've taken quite the head to the head, it's taking a while to heal."
She gives him a confused look but turns away from him and still refusing to look at the Original behind her, now caressing her wrists like she is made of glass.
She sees the last person she thought she'd ever see again, his back to them, facing the flames as they burn the only home she's ever known. "Klaus?"
He turns slightly to look at her, expression grim. "Caroline."
"What happened?"
"The world ended." He went back to watching the destruction before him. "Hell is here."
She lets out a breath, the oxygen from her lungs being ripped up by an invisible force and she begins to tremble, her rib cage quaking with the implications. Everyone is gone and she is all alone-
Kol is still gentle and assuring as he holds her tighter, his breath against her cheek as he begins to rock her life an infant. "It's alright, darling. You'll be okay."
"How?" She asks in a small voice.
Enzo takes her hand and squeezes firmly, to remind her he is there. "You still have us."
She closes her eyes and breathes, Kol's lips pressing a kiss to her temple.
