Hello, everyone! So here I am with yet another fic. I'm starting a new one! But I'm not giving up on any of my other ones don't worry.

This fic is situated in 1800 approximately. Klaus is a hybrid but he was never cursed by his mother so there is no sacrifice or anything, he just became a hybrid the day he was turned into a vampire.

Thank you Mafalda for beta'ing this chapter.

Chapter 1:

Caroline was a bubbly six years old girl. She was a beautiful little girl with her curly blond hair and her amazing big blue eyes. She was in the kitchen of her lovely little house where she lived with her parents. She was an unique child so she was cherished by her whole family and they were all here today for her birthday. Her grandparents were there, her mother's brother and his wife were also there with their two daughters, but Caroline never really played with them because they were sixteen and eighteen years old.

"Happy birthday, sweetie." Caroline's mother Elizabeth Forbes, or Liz, shouted through the room and Caroline's little cheeks reddened. She always liked to have the attention on her but it didn't mean that it didn't make her blush.

"Thank you, mummy." Caroline exclaimed excited jumping in her mother's arms.

"So, how old is my little princess?" Caroline's father William Forbes, or Bill as most people called him, asked.

"I'm six years old, daddy. And next year I'll be seven, and the year after that I'll be eight, and the..." Caroline started and everyone started to laugh as Bill cut her off.

"Oh, would you look at that. My little princess can count." He teased her.

"Of course I can count. I'm not a baby anymore. I'm almost an adult now." Caroline mumbled angrily, "Grandma, tell daddy I'm almost an adult."

"Yes, honey, you are almost an adult." Caroline's grandmother smiled while saying it and Caroline started to smile once more.

"See daddy, not a baby anymore." Caroline affirmed jumping away from Liz's arms.

"Caroline, stay here sweetie. We are going to cut the cake." Liz called after Caroline who came back running.

"Yes, yes, I want to cut it, mummy. Let me cut the cake." Caroline jumped happily around the table which earned a general laughter in the room.

"Kids are so annoying. I never want any." Elodie, one of Caroline's cousins complained.

"Elo! Please be polite." Caroline's uncle chastised her.

Caroline looked at her cousin who was just like Caroline, blond with blue eyes, but she was not as pretty as Caroline was. Neither was her sister. Caroline was only six years old and she was already far more elegant than they were and would ever be, which caused them to be extremely jealous even though Caroline didn't understand it, because she didn't really care about being the most beautiful, not at her age.

"You forced me to come here today for Caroline's birthday when you perfectly knew I didn't want to come, dad." Elodie exclaimed.

"I don't want to hear another word leaving your mouth, Elodie Forbes." Her father scolded her.

"Alright, sweetie come over here, we'll cut the cake together." Liz said to bring back the attention on the cake.

Caroline ran toward the table and took the knife in her hands; Liz helped her by holding it over her hands. Caroline had a happy smile adorning her lips the whole time. Once the cake was cut Caroline looked up at everyone, her smile growing even wider, she was glowing.

"Grandpa, look I cut the cake." She all but yelled proudly. Then without losing her smile she turned toward her cousins, "Elodie, Shandy, do you want some cake?" She just wanted them to like her, she was just a little girl and she couldn't understand their jealousy.

"No thank you, there is a boy in the village and I think he wants to court me, I can't take any weight." Shandy who was the older one replied nonchalantly.

"I would like to have a small piece, please. It is not pretty to be all skin and bones." Elodie said giving a look to her sister implying that she was talking about her. They both shared hateful glares and Caroline quickly understood that they both liked the same boy. Caroline didn't care about boys.

"You are both pretty. I'm sure boys really like you." Caroline said nicely. Both girls scoffed as if it was an insult coming from Caroline, the perfect and beautiful little girl. Caroline turned toward her mother disappointed.

"You are really nice, sweetie. Let's eat now, shall we?" Liz said with a sweet smile.

Caroline insisted to sit on her father's lap as she ate her cake and everyone ate around the table except for Shandy. They were in the middle of a conversation when someone knocked on the door. Caroline's father put Caroline on the floor and stood up frowning to answer the door. He left the room and Caroline's mother turned toward her.

"Let's go to the bathroom, sweetie. We are going to clean your hands, you have cake everywhere." Liz said with a smile before taking Caroline into the bathroom.

Caroline started to wash her hands when they heard noises coming from the kitchen and living room. Caroline's mother frowned wondering what was happening but she didn't think much about it until they heard objects being broken and screams.

"Mummy, what is happening?" Caroline asked as she felt the fear taking over her body.

"It's alright, sweetie. Come with me, hurry." Liz ordered grabbing Caroline and running toward her bedroom. She opened the door and ran inside as they heard more screams coming from the living room. Caroline felt tears running down her cheeks and she tightened her arms around her mother's neck.

"Mummy! Mummy, why is everyone screaming? I'm scared." Caroline sobbed.

Liz opened Caroline's closet and crouched down in front of it with Caroline still in her arms holding onto her for dear life. Caroline was terrified.

"Daddy, I want daddy!" Caroline cried out.

"No, it's alright, sweetie. Shush now. Here, go in the closet." Liz hurried her into the closet and grabbed her daughter's head before leaving a kiss on her forehead, "You are strong, Caroline. Do you hear me?" Liz started as tears dropped down her cheeks.

"Mummy, why are you crying?" Caroline asked as she tried to go back into her mother's arms.

"No, Caroline. Listen to me. You will stay in this closet and you will not make a sound. You are strong, you are beautiful, you are full of light. You will be an amazing woman. Mummy and daddy love you, never forget that. But you have to be strong for us, be strong for us." Liz continued looking at her devastated daughter.

"I love you, mummy." Caroline sobbed before her mother closed the closet and left her room.

Caroline stayed there with her knees near her chest and her arms enveloping them. She cried trying not to make a sound like her mother told her. She put her hands on her ears and closed her eyes tightly as she heard the screams continue in the house. She didn't know how long it lasted but after a moment the house became quiet. Caroline stayed where she was in the closet not daring to move. She stayed like this for what felt like hours in the silence of the house where the scent of death and blood started to reach Caroline's nose.

At some point Caroline heard someone enter her room. She put her hand over her mouth hoping that the person wouldn't hear her but then the closet opened to reveal a beautiful young woman. She had long blond curly hair and beautiful blue eyes. She was wearing a magnificent dress, a green one, the corset was a little darker than the rest of her dress, and she was gorgeous. She appeared as an angel in Caroline's eyes. She smiled at Caroline and crouched down in front of her.

"Hello, come with me, sweetheart. All the bad men have gone away." The splendid woman whispered sweetly. Caroline didn't move and didn't talk, she had stopped crying by now, "Don't be scared, my sweet child. I'm going to take care of you." The woman said before taking Caroline in her arms. Caroline didn't complain and she let the woman take her.

When they left Caroline's room the woman put her hand on Caroline's head and gently pushed on it to bury it in the crook of her neck, "Don't look." She whispered.

But Caroline kept her eyes open and she saw her whole family dead in the house. There was blood everywhere. Caroline saw her mother lying on the floor with her neck ripped open and her eyes wide open and empty looking at the ceiling. Caroline noticed that she was holding her teddy bear tightly in her hand and then she disappeared from her view and she saw her father at the entrance with blood everywhere on him. But Caroline didn't cry, she had no tears left to cry. She just watched her whole family, dead, and she knew that she would have their faces engraved in her memory forever.

The woman carried Caroline as she walked toward a carriage that was in front of the house. A valet opened the door for her and she climbed inside with Caroline. She kept Caroline in her arms and didn't let go of her seeing how tight the little girl was holding onto her. The valet closed the door and after a few seconds the carriage started to move.

"My name is Rebekah, Rebekah Mikaelson." Rebekah said with a sweet voice, "What is your name, my sweet child?"

"Caroline Forbes." Caroline answered looking at Rebekah who smiled at her. A small smile appeared on Caroline's lips. She felt safe with Rebekah, "You are beautiful, Rebekah."

"So are you, sweetheart. How old are you?" Rebekah asked her chest tightening when she remembered the cake that was on the table in Caroline's house.

"Six years old." Caroline replied before burying her face in the crook of Rebelah's neck once more as she remembered her family.

"Wow, aren't you a grown up girl?" Rebekah asked.

Caroline nodded and then asked, "Where are we going?"

"We are going home, Caroline. From now on you will live with me, you will meet my brothers; I live with them." Rebekah explained.

Caroline looked up once more, "I want my mummy and my daddy. I want to go home with them." She started to cry once more her eyes filling with tears until they spilled over, falling down her cheeks. The images of her dead parents came back to her mind and her lower lip started to tremble, but Rebekah ignored her wish. It was better for her if she didn't talk about her parents, it was better if she forgot about them.

"I have three brothers. There is Elijah, Kol and the one which I'm the closest to, Niklaus, but I call him Nik. Even though everyone else calls him Klaus except for Elijah who calls him Niklaus and Kol who calls him Nik, like me." Rebekah continued.

"I want my family." Caroline cried as she sniffled.

"I am your new family, sweetheart." Rebekah replied and the rest of the ride was quiet. After a few minutes Caroline stopped crying remembering her mother asking her to stay strong for her.

After a moment the carriage stopped and the valet opened the door for Rebekah and Caroline to climb out of it. Once out of it Rebekah put Caroline back on her feet and held her hand in hers. Caroline looked at the mansion that was in front of her and her eyes were glowing in amazement. It was magnificent; she had never seen a house that big. She turned toward Rebekah.

"Are you a princess?" Caroline wondered shyly.

Rebekah slightly laughed, "No, Caroline, I am not a princess but you see, my brother likes to see himself as a king." She explained.

"Your brother is a king? But if I live with you and him then I will be a princess." Caroline exclaimed a smile appearing on her lips. She was young and she didn't really understand yet how awful the situation was, "Will my parents live with us?"

Rebekah looked away at the question, "No, your parents are in the sky now, they are in heaven. They are happy where they are and they will always be here with you." She explained.

"If they are happy then I am happy." Caroline admitted innocently, "Daddy always called me his little princess. He will be so happy when he sees that I live in a big house like this."

And with that they started to walk toward the mansion. Caroline was little but once in the hall she felt even smaller than what she already was. She kept looking around with admiration in her eyes. Everything looked beautiful and smelled divinely good. They walked toward two enormous doors and Rebekah opened it with her free hand.

When they entered the room Caroline recognized it as a library. It was the first time she was seeing a library in a house; her house hadn't been big enough to have one. She noticed that three men were in the room and she guessed that they were Rebekah's brothers. She was practically sure that the one who liked to think himself as a king was the one with dark blond hair. There was something about him that screamed power.

"I'm home." Rebekah announced and all three men turned their head toward her. Their eyes all landed on the little girl holding their sister's hand, with a terrified look on her face.

"What is this, Bekah?" The blond one snapped nodding toward Caroline.

"It's Caroline. She will live with us from now on and I will take care of her." Rebekah explained and the blond man didn't really seem happy about it.

"This thing..." He started but Caroline cut him off to everyone's surprise.

"Caroline." She said and then looked down when she realized what she had done. Her parents had always taught her not to interrupt adults while they were talking, "I'm sorry for my rudeness I shouldn't have cut you mister but my name is Caroline and I am not a thing." Caroline saw the anger that crossed his face at her words and saw that he was about to say something but one of the dark brown haired ones talked first.

"Niklaus, please, she is just a child calm down." And Caroline knew who he was. It was Elijah, Rebekah had said he was the only one calling her other brother Niklaus. Which meant that the one who was not happy about her presence was Niklaus and the other one was Kol, "Where are your parents, Caroline?"

"They are in the sky, above the clouds." Caroline innocently answered.

"I hate children and their stupid way of saying someone is dead." Niklaus growled under his breath.

Caroline looked straight at him, "They are dead. My daddy had blood everywhere on him but he seemed peaceful. My mummy had her neck ripped open and her eyes empty and widely opened, with my teddy bear in her hand. She put me in the closet when we heard everyone screaming and crying in the leaving room. They are all dead. They were all there for my birthday. I'm six years old today, we were eating the cake."

Everyone looked at her taken aback by her words and no one talked until Kol moved and walked toward her taking her in his arms.

"I'm going to show you your room, darling." He said with a nice voice before walking out of the room with the little girl in his arms.

"The child is still in shock." Elijah stated once Kol was out of the room with Caroline.

"I want her out of this house tomorrow morning." Klaus commanded.

"But, Nik. I found her alone in her house, she has no family anymore. I was passing by and I smelled the blood, so I decided to go and see what was going on. I found them all dead but then I heard her small heartbeats." Rebekah interjected.

"I don't care, Rebekah. Are you going to bring every orphan child here?" Klaus shouted.

"No, Nik, it's just her. Did you look at her, Nik? I know you! I know you are not indifferent to this little girl and the way she looks sad. You can't be, no one can be. She is all alone. Her mother is dead; she was ripped away from her just like you ripped our mother away from us." Rebekah yelled and at that Klaus looked down.

"Niklaus, please think about it." Elijah proposed.

"Fine. She can stay here but she is the only child you will ever bring here Rebekah. And you will take care of her; I don't want to have anything to do with her." Klaus said before leaving the room.

Kol had showed her where everyone's room was and they were now in an empty room, he said it was hers now. Kol was really nice with her, like Rebekah had been.

"It's all big." Caroline exclaimed looking around and jumping on the bed. Kol smiled, he had taken her away because he didn't want her to hear Nik say that he didn't want her here.

"Yes it is." Kol agreed.

"I feel like a princess." Caroline admitted joyfully.

"It's because you are a princess, darling." Kol assured, "My name is Kol. I'm the most handsome member of this family, nice to meet you." Caroline laughed, "There is nothing funny about what I said. I won't leave this room to let you sleep until you tell me that I'm the most handsome Mikaelson and I want a kiss."

Caroline approached him and placed a small kiss on his cheek and then said, "Kol is the most handsome Mikaelson." She giggled and then the door opened to reveal Rebekah.

"I hope you didn't put any crazy ideas in her head because she is staying with us and I don't need a female Kol in my life." Rebekah prayed.

"I would never do that. The only thing I said to Caroline is the truth and nothing but the truth. Right, Carebear?" Kol assured before turning toward Caroline who nodded eagerly.

"Tell me what my stupid brother told you, Caroline. And if you don't want him to call you Carebear say it." Rebekah said smiling. She never thought that she would be happy with a child in her life but it seemed she was, it was like a second chance for her, she had always wanted a family. She was also impressed by Kol, who would have thought that he would be the one taking care of Caroline and acting so sweet with her.

"Kol is the most handsome member of this family. And I like Carebear." Caroline announced.

"Kol." Rebekah growled, "I told you not to put stupid ideas in her head."

"Don't worry, Rebekah. I said it to make him happy." Caroline admitted and Rebekah bursted into laughter. Kol pushed her away from Caroline.

"No, darling, you don't say it to make me happy, you say it because it is the truth. I am the most handsome man here, right?" Kol asked his ego hurt.

"Are you seriously hurt? She is just a child, Kol." Rebekah laughed even more.

"You are handsome." Caroline agreed.

"I am not hurt Rebekah!" Kol growled before turning toward Caroline, "No, I'm THE MOST handsome."

"No." Caroline giggled.

"Rebekah you are right. I am profoundly hurt by this little infant's words." Kol said with fake offense. And Caroline giggled even more which brought a smile to Kol's lips.

None of them knew that Klaus was on the other side of the door and was listening to their conversation with a small smile on his lips. He was happy to hear his baby sister and his brother happy, he hadn't heard them that cheerful in a while and all he wanted was for his family to be safe and happy. And it seemed this little and beautiful girl was making them happy. He had the impression to hear them as they used to be, when they were still human. So without saying anything Klaus walked toward his chambers that were just next to Caroline's. Rebekah's was just in front of Caroline's chambers.

Rebekah had been right; he was not indifferent to Caroline. First of all, he had never seen such beauty in a child and she reminded him a lot of Rebekah when she was still a child herself. He also liked the way she was keeping her ground against Kol. It seemed she was going to give him a hard time, poor Kol. Besides, she seemed intelligent, he had been taken aback earlier when she had talked about her parents. Elijah had said that she was still in shock which might be true, but Klaus knew that it was not that, she was just smart and perfectly knew that her parents were dead and what it meant.

Tell me what you think? I'm waiting for your opinion to know if I'm going to continue this fic or not so if you are interested let me know by leaving a review. Thank you :) Maybe you can ty and guess who killed Caroline's whole family even thogh there is no clue in this chapter?
