I've already posted this on the crossover section but a lot of people don't go to that bit of the site, so I've posted this on the regular Vampire Diaries zone.

Hope you like it and if people want a continuation please review and tell me :D

Abbatoir

Klaus groaned as he twisted his neck and slowly blinked open his eyes.

"Nik, Nik get up.."

"Nik, wake up now!" Rebekah screams as she struggles to free herself form the ropes that are binding her wrists to the chair. "Nik!"

"Bekah..." Klaus groans as he focuses on her face and his eyes widen as he looks around to see his siblings, Marcel, Camille, Davina, Stefan, Damon, Elena and Bonnie each tied to a chair with ropes and some with stakes in their stomachs. Eyes flutter open and they glance at their surroundings and widen their eyes in shock.

"Nik, they took her, mother found me, I don't know how but she ambushed me and took her." Klaus focses on his baby sister and his eyes fill with tears as he tries to comprehend what she is saying.

"Hope..."

"Rebekah, where is she?!" Hayley screams as she kicks at the air and tries to get out.

"Esther took her, Nik...Mikael is here as well." she murmurs as the siblings share a fear filled look.

"Klaus, why are we here?" Stefan asks him but Klaus just shakes his head gesturing that he doesn't know. Camille pulls at her restraints but fails to break them.

"He told me to give you a message Klaus, Mikael said to tell you that you're a weak, impulsive boy and both Hope and the girl would die in front of you by his hands and Esther's. He said that he would rip them both to shreds in front of you and then kill you. I don't understand...he said Hope but who is the girl Klaus? Who was he talking about?" Camille asks frantically.

"Wait so you're telling me that Papa Original and the Original witch-bitch are here? You know what never mind that, we need to get out of here. Now." Damon says sternly as he studies the rope.

"Brilliant idea Salvatore, got any way to actually do that?" Kol drawls out as he pulls his ties. The doors suddenly burst open to reveal a coven of witches including Sophie, Sabine, Celeste and Monique. The sounds of a baby's cries fill the room as the witches part to reveal Esther holding baby Hope in her arms.

"Esther..." Klaus whispers as he stares at her and sees his squirming daughter who's piercing cries fill the air. "Don't harm her, know this, I will kill you, now LET US GO!" he screams, desperate to take Hope and flash as far away as he can from here.

"Now, now, children. Let's act with a bit of decorum, shall we? I'm truly sorry Niklaus, but this must be done. I need to spill her blood to right my wrongs and fix the balance of nature." she says blankly as she stares at Klaus.

"She's just a child, you can't kill a child!" Rebekah screams as she pleads with her mother to stop this.

"Sisters, prepare the alter and flames." she orders causing the witches to line an alter at the side with candles as she places Hope on it and shushes her cries. "Now we wait." Klaus' brow furrows.

"Wait for what?" Kol asks as she smirks at him and takes out a silver dagger grasping it in one hand.

"For you father of course, he's the one with the white oak stake and our...final guest." her eyes glint reflecting the flames.

Meanwhile-Caroline

"Lucy, you need to keep the connection stable and make sure that the protection spell lasts on her for at least 5 minutes. I should be done and Hope will be safe. Ok?" I look at the dark skinned woman with honey brown eyes standing in front of me. Lucy Bennett. She nods at me and pull me in for a tight hug.

"Yes. I understand Caroline. Be careful, don't get yourself killed." she whispers against my ear.

"You too Lulu, keep youself safe." I murmur back as I feel her body stiffen.

"He's coming" I pull back immediately and nod at her, flashing away to a distant rooftop. I close my eyes and breathe in a mouthful of air. Hands grasp my shoulders and spin me round to him.

"Hello Miss Forbes..." he holds my arms tightly and flashes us away to a tall building with a courtyard. Focus Caroline, you can do this. I steel myself against the oncoming storm. I take in a deep breath and try to flash away from him when his grip is tight. I throw back my head, hearing the crack which signals that I've broken his nose. He turns me swiftly and throws me into a wall causing my skull to crack and letting me slump down to the ground. I take in a deep breath as he flashes to me but I move quickly and flash away when he catches me again. His arms feel like barriers around my stomach preventing me from running away but allowing me to kick the air and scream. The piercing sound echoes the air. Turn, damn it, turn me to face you. I swing my legs and wrap my foot around the back of his knee, pulling him forward and causing him to stumble slightly. I turn to face him and grab onto his jacket to push him away when he smirks deviously and pulls me to his chest to murmur into my ear. "Such fire, Miss Forbes, Niklaus certainly knows how to choose them." he says as he spins me and lifts me up again to carry me into the abbatoir.

"You fucking jackass, I will destroy you, LET ME GO! I will kill you, you mark my words, I will tear you apart." I continue to scream as I hear the sound of a baby crying and swiftly turn my head forward to see people tied to chairs, my friends and some people I don't recognise tied to chairs. They all stare at me as I look back but continue to fight against Mikael's hold.

"Caroline..." I hear my name whispered and I look up to see that it came from Klaus. He stares at me wide eyed as I notice the tears glistening in his eyes. I look away from the intense connection and towards Esther who is standing beside Hope.

"Let me go Mikael!" I scream as he throws me to the ground, I flash up and try to hit him when he slaps me across the face and throws me onto the floor holding my neck tightly as if to suffocate me.

"So much spirit, darling, it's such a shame that you are on his side, you would have made a brilliant soldier." he whispers to me as he smirks at Klaus. he glances down at me and I smirk, his eyebrow lifts in confusion.

"Screw you Mikael..." I whisper as I kick him between his legs. Hard. His hold loosens and I flash out from under him and behind him instead. I kick his back,s ending him flying to the ground, displacing the tiles on the floor and leaving a trail of soil as his hands dig into the ground. I tear off a wooden chair leg and imbed it into his back.

"You little slut!" he growls as he raises himself up and his skin repairs, pushing out the stake and then turns to saunters to me and then quickly flashes forward to grasp my throat and dangle my feet above the floor" I choke and try to pull his hands away with no luck. I kick him again in his stomach and chest and he stumbles back.

"ENOUGH!" Esther shouts and silence fills the air. Mikael sneers at me and throws me at Klaus' feet, hitting his legs. I groan and open my eyes to look up at the ceiling.

Klaus

She was a blonde goddess, fighting with every breath, her moves were exceptionally well thought out. I see her eyes open as she stares up at the ceiling and then readjust to focus on my face.

"Klaus..." she whispers and I feel a single tear slid down my cheek as the ropes hold me down so I can't hold her in my arms.

"Caroline..." I murmur back, not knowing what to say, not knowing how to comfort her without lying. She continues to stare into my eyes as I look into hers and the connection conveys so much, everything that we could never say to each other out loud. Everything that I won't be able to say soon.

"I enjoyed it Miss Forbes. Taking her life, squeezing her throat and then draining her of her blood. I must say your mother was delicious...I wonder if it runs in the family." Mikael says in a condescending tone.

"DON'T TOUCH HER!" I shout at him as he comes nearer to me and Caroline.

"How...nauseating, trying to protect the woman you love and the abomination of a chid that you have. When, in matter of fact, you won't be able to do either. They will both die and I will take pleasure in the destruction it causes you before I kill you." I hear the others gasp at his notice of how I feel for Caroline. "But let's not dwell on that...well not yet. Let's discuss much more mannered topics, like Elizabeth Forbes' last words. Would you like to now, darling?" I look down at Caroline as I see red veins ripple under her eyes and her fangs lengthen. She looks magnificent. "Would you like to now? I'll tell you anyway. Don't hurt Caroline, don't hurt my baby. Please. Accompanied with sobs and screams of course as I tore into her throat." I look back down and see Caroline inhale, close her eyes and then reopen them.

Caroline

I take in a steady breath of air and push myself off the ground and turn to face Mikael as he continued to taunt me. I walk forward and circle him as he does the same.

"She begged me to stop, pleaded with me to not hurt you and do you now what I did."

"Stop it father! Stop it, she doesn't mean anything, it's us that you want!" Rebekah screams and I glance at her as she continues to cry.

"NO! I will end all of you, each and every single one who could ever bring an ounce of happiness to the bastard's life. You didn't answer my question Caroline. Would. You. Like. To. KNOW!" I stop and stare at him, narrowing my eyes. "I promised sweet, innocent Elizabeth that I wouldn't harm a hair on your head. But she was a smart woman, she figured out I was lying." He begins to laugh and I glance over at the alter where Esther stands with the dagger.

"You're wrong." he stops laughing abruptly and we both come to a stand still.

"What?" I give him a small smile.

"I pity you Mikael, and you're wrong. Klaus isn't an abomination and neither are the rest of us. You've done most of the questioning tonight Mikael, so let ask you some in return."

"I suggest you tread very carefully." he sneers whilst I shake my head and let out a small laugh.

"You look at me and see everything you abhor in yourself. Sure you dress it up in your fancy suits and your handkerchiefs. You, with your mask of civility and righteousness, you're every bit the abomination I am. Or worse. Klaus told me that you ruined him. He used to look up to you as a child, you were the only father he ever knew until you started to abuse him. Hitting him over, and over, and over, and over again. But I can't help but wonder what if your father ruined you Mikael? Did he try to tear you down, make you run from him. He was a monster wasn't he. Oh how I wish you could look at yourself. A murderous expression. A self- righteous posture. You may look just like him." I say resolutely as he continues to stare at me and I see his wall weakening.

"My dear...what is done is done..." I scoff at her and look into Mikael's eyes.

"What's done is never done. It remains within us, the story we tell ourselves so we know who we are. A vicious father, a bastard son and a whore of a mother. Perhaps it's time for a new story."

"Enough of this nonsense." Mikael's previously tear filled eyes harden and he rushes towards me again throwing me back.

"You're right, it is time for a new story. Starting with the bastard's death followed by his little bitch of a daughter." He smirks over to Esther and Klaus' scream hits me. His desperation is evident and I know it needs to happen now.

"It won't work." I say resolutely. He slaps me across the face causing a cracking sound to fill the air. I can feel my split lip and blood drop down over and onto my chin.

"Of course it will Miss Forbes." I start laughing at him and my voice fills the room. He grasps my chin and forces me to look at him. "Is something funny?"

"You hit like a bitch." I say and then glance over at Esther who raises the dagger above Hope. "It won't work, you literally can't kill her."

"Watch me." I shrug my shoulders and smirk as Esther looks over at me.

"Actually, you're right, go ahead. I Dare you..." she plunges the dagger down when it hits a barrier and the dagger is thrown out of her hand and clatters against the wall. "I'd love to say I told you so but I think that phrase has lost it's meaning in modern times so I'll settle for...I informed you thusly..." I smirk at them.

"Impossible, the dagger should have penetrated her skin...how?" she runs to me and looks me in the eyes as she searches for an answer but I continue to smirk. "Tell me, how?!" I roll my eyes and spit a mouthful of blood in her direction.

"Screw you, bitch!" She raises her hand at me and I feel...nothing. Nothing happens, I feel no pain in my body like I should do. I regain my composure and smile as if I know what's happening.

"How are you doing this...you're not a witch!" she continues to hold her hand out at me.

"Leave it Esther, if we can't kill the girl let's just kill the bastard first." Mikael growls as he starts to approach Klaus. With his attention focused on Klaus and his back to me and Esther. I pinpoint the exact locations of the witches who are all staring at Mikael and his next move. Taking in a deep breath I flash towards the dagger, grasp it in my hands and flash towards Esther as she suddenly turns with her arm raised to throw me back. But it's useless. I bypass her arm and plunge the dagger into her heart. She looks into my eyes and her skin turns grey and I release her hold on me and let her drop to the floor. I hear everyone gasp as they turn to look at the dead body on the floor and I keep my eyes locked on Mikael as his flare with fire. He looks down at Esther and back up at me.

"I'm not a saint, remember? I am you. Prepared to do anything. Prepared to do what ordinary people won't do. You want me to shake your hand in hell as we both burn. Well than I shall not disappoint. Don't underestimate me. Ever!" He stands frozen and the room falls into silence as everyone comprehends what's just happened. Without taking my eyes off Mikael I speak.

"Witches, I suggest you all take your leave immediately. I'm giving you a head start, not because you deserve it. I just enjoy the chase so...start running...far and fast!" I hear them clamour and run outside and the door slam closed.

"You foolish girl. I will slaughter you after I take down the bastard. You will have no hope left and I will slit child's throat. Slowly." I smirk.

"And what makes you think that you could kill him?" He smirks at me and puts his hand into the inside of his jacket. His smirk turns into a frown and his eyes widen as he searches for the white oak stake. I smirk and slowly walk towards him as he grits his teeth and clenches his jaw. I put my arm behind my back, underneath my jacket and move it back in front of me with an object in my hand. His eyes widen and he tries to flash towards me when I flash into his previous space, in front of Klaus, standing as if I'm protecting him. "One fundamental flaw with you big bad villains, you're always so cocky. A shame really. You could've pulled this off, sweetheart." I say proudly. He flashes towards me and I move forward minutely to make him underestimate my distance. He grasps onto my arm and gasps as he looks down to see the stake plunged into his chest. "Like I said. Don't underestimate me..." I whisper into his ear just before his chest catches fire. He releases my grip and stumbles backwards. He falls onto his back and I approach him and kick his side, throwing him into the wall. I watch him become consumed in flames and then stare as they die down and all that is left is a pile of ashes.

I swallow and breathe in deeply to compose myself. I swiftly turn and pull on the ropes which are holding Klaus releasing. I flash over to Hope and gently take her in my arms and walk back over, passing her over to him slowly. Once he has a firm hold on her, I flash to everyone else and rip off their holds releasing them as well. Everyone sighs a breath of relief as I walk backwards and hit a wall and slide down to the ground, letting the wall hold me upright. The doors burst open and Lucy runs in, followed by Katherine who both glance at the scene and see me, they run over and kneel in front of me. Lucy looks at the ashes of Mikael and Esther's body and then turns her stunned eyes to me.

"You did it..." she murmurs as I nod weakly with a small smile. Katherine cradles my face in her hands and her eyes meet mine as she sees the tears well up in mine. She pulls me my head too her, underneath her chin and holds me tight whilst running her fingers through my hair.

"It's ok, shhh, it's ok. You did it Caroline. Everything's ok." she murmurs into my ear. I let out a small sob as her words do nothing to comfort me.

"She's not coming back, Kat, my mom isn't coming back." I wrap my arms around her, holding her tight to me as I cry into her shoulder. Lucy strokes my back in a comforting gesture as Kat continues to run her fingers through my hair. I feel a presence standing beside me and pull away from Kat to see that it's Hayley. She kneels down and tears flow down her cheeks mirroring mine. She throws herself at me and wraps her arms around me tightly.

"Thank you, thank you so much. You saved her, you saved us." Hope starts crying and I pull away from Hayley as I wipe away her tears.

"She's not a quiet one is she" I smile which Hayley returns whilst she sniffles. "Go on, she needs her mom." My lips quiver and she nods at me and moves back to her daughter, taking her from Klaus' arms. I shut my eyes and lean my head back against the solid wall. I feel the light being blocked and slowly open my eyes to see Klaus standing just to the left of Katherine. Lucy and Kat slowly release me and move away, leaving me and Klaus by ourselves.

"Hi..." I give him a small smile as my eyes continue to let water fall from them. "Missed me much...?" I say hoarsely as I let out a small laugh. His face remains blank but I see his eyes filled with overwhelming emotion. He drops to his knees beside me and slowly raises his hand to my cheek and rests it softly there. I lean into the warmth. "You know...I was hoping to come down for Mardi Gras but I had to shuffle round my schedule..." I try to ease the tension. A tear falls from each eye. "Hey, don't cry, seriously what would people say...your reputation would be tarnished" He lets out a small chuckle and shakes his head slightly and then furrows his brow.

He pulls me in tightly to his body and I let myself melt into his warmth. I hear him start to sob and as we cling onto each other we find comfort which we never felt before. "I could have lost you Caroline. You could've died, sweetheart." Moving my mouth against his ear I whisper "but you didn't, don't underestimate me Klaus, I'm like a freaking ninja..." we both giggle and continue to hold onto each other.

"I love you Caroline Forbes" he whispers so only I can hear.

"I love you too Niklaus Mikaelson" I murmur back inly allowing him to hear. We hold each other tightly and find relief in a single touch.
