A Dead Salvatore

Caroline Forbes-Mikaelson looked at Charlotte, standing over her crib, she had dragged Charlotte's crib into her own bedroom.

"It's okay, Love…." Klaus came towards her, "I know my mother…..She won't act again, not through the same method. Not today."

"Is it weird, or is it just me?" Caroline muttered.

"What?"

She didn't answer. He pulled her towards himself.

"What...What's weird?" he asked. "Tell me!"

"Stefan being possessed." She told him, "Your mother….and Rayna Cruz, A vampire huntress. Together. In New Orleans, together."

"Caroline!" He almost shouted.

"What?!"

"You are a genius!"

Charlotte woke up, and started. She started to cry loudly.

"And, clearly, I am not.." He whispered. He laughed. He took Charlotte in his arms, and shook her softly.

"It's okay, little wolf…." He whispered, "I love you…."

After Charlotte fell asleep, Klaus Mikaelson came out, he was going to shut the door, but Caroline hissed.

"No!"

"Okay...OKAY..!" Klaus moved away as if he was at gunpoint.

"Esther Mikaelson is playing with Rayna Cruz." Caroline sat down on the sofa. "I can't believe it."

"It makes perfect sense, doesn't it?" Elijah told them, "Mother tried to kill us before, so she could undo the bad she did."

Klaus nodded,

"An alliance with the vampire huntress." Klaus bit his finger, "It is the perfect combination. She got Rayna to mark Stefan….who is connected to caroline. Who is connected to us!"

"Marking us, means the end of all vampires." Kol came inside the room, holding a blood bag. "She'll kill us all."

Caroline Forbes looked horrified. She texted Bonnie all the details she knew about Rayna Cruz and Esther Mikaelson. She was going to fix everything….She always had. Bonnie Bennett would get Stefan out of trouble.

They didn't know what to do yet. Klaus suggested they waited for their next strike.

Caroline Forbes took her phone and took it,

"It's Caroline." She said,

"Mrs. Mikaelson, come to Mystic Falls." She didn't recognize the voice.

"Who is this?" She asked.

"Melanie Felle," She looked at her phone.

She didn't know Melanie Felle. "Come to Mystic Falls, Mrs. Mikaelson, everything is falling apart."

"I didn't get any updates of such kinds from my friends!" She told her.

"Mrs. Mikaelson, Stefan Salvatore is dead!"

She dropped the phone. It crashed on the ground. The screen shattered, voice repeated.

"Caroline. Come to Mystic Falls....Stefan Salvatore is dead!"

Caroline fell to the floor, on the ground. She was on her knees, she held the broken phone.

Caroline's eyes formed tears.

"Just listen..." She whispered. But no one answered.

A click and the phone was off.

"Caroline….." She heard Klaus, but his voice seemed almost a thousand miles away. "Where are you, Love?"

She didn't answer. He came inside the room, and ran towards her.

"What happened, Care?" He held her, she was crying.

"Stefan…" She whispered, "He….Stefan's dead."

Her voice was barely audible,

"How did that happen?" Klaus asked her.

"The Huntress...…" She whispered, "She got him."

"I have to go.." She told Klaus, "I am going to Mystic Falls, now…"

She looked at her phone, she picked up the shattered screen, she didn't want Charlotte to step on it.

But she couldn't see, tears in her eyes blurred her vision.

"I'll get it…." Klaus told her softly. "I'll get it, Caroline."

She nodded, wiping her eyes from her wrist.

Caroline Forbes-Mikaelson took the next plane to Mystic Falls, with Charlotte, and surprisingly Kol wanted to come. He said something about wanting to see his birthplace again. Caroline felt it was Elijah's presence behind it.

He wanted to let Kol feel that he was the part of the family, and that everyone trusted her. Everyone knew Charlotte was at the moment the most important and protected member of the Mikaelson family.

The presence of an original vampire with her kept Elijah at ease. Even though Klaus had some reluctance to allow Kol to accompany the two most important women in her life, ELijah convinced him otherwise. Since Caroline and Kol got along well, she had no problem with him coming with her.

"Caroline…" Kol Mikaelson was sitting next to her on the plane.

"Yes…" She turned over to Kol, opening her eyes.

"What is this thing again?" It was the first time Kol had been on a plane.

"It's an airplane, Kol." She smiled, "A plane."

"I can't believe so much happened in the last century."

"Well, I am sorry you couldn't see it!" She told him.

She had a sleeping Charlotte in her lap.

"So, what happened to your friend?" Kol asked her.

"I don't know…." She sighed, "I haven't heard from his brother or Bonnie, no one's picking up their phones!"

"Sounds like a mess." Kol settled back in his chair.

"I know." She closed her eyes, looking out of the window.

It was quiet for a while.

"How would it feel to jump down from this thing?" Kol broke the silence, asking Caroline.

"What?" She looked at him,

"I just want to know...You are a vampire….falling from heights won't kill you." He sat up, "I mean, you didn't try it?"

"No…." She smiled, "But you can do it."

"Really?" He started to undo his safety belt.

"No…Stop, Kol!" She laughed, "Not here…..They have this kind of thing. Even humans can do it, with a safety parachute."

"Really?" He looked intrigued. "Now why would humans want to jump off from thousands of feet in the air?"

He asked.

"I would say that it would make you feel alive." She said, "Danger triggers something in people…..Almost dying can trigger the feeling of being alive." She explained.

"So, when can I do it?" He asked, "No parachutes?"

"When I am done with Mystic Falls, I'll take you someplace." She smiled.

"Promise me, Caroline!" He was really excited.

"I promise, Kol.." She laughed, "I'll take you skydiving."

"What?"

"That's what they call it, Skydiving!" She told him.

"We'll be landing in a few minutes." The stewardess told everyone. "Please be ready for landing."

"Oooh…She looks delicious!" Kol smirked.

"I have plenty of blood bags at my place…" She told Kol, "Till then, try not to kill people!"
