Beauty & the Beast

Preparation

The next few days are all a blur.
Klaus and I begin to get frustrated and flustered. Wedding preparation isn't all glamorous. It's hard work. Especially since we want to get married before Rebekah and Marcel leave. Klaus has his servants helping them out and I'm flying in my friends for the weekend: Elena, Bonnie, my mum, Tyler, Matt, Jeremy and Alaric.
"No, no, no, no did I mention NO! Ughh!"  I say.
"What's wrong, Caroline," Klaus asks.
Okay, maybe I'm more anxious than he is.
I turn to him.
"I asked for white lilies not white roses," I say frustrated.
Klaus laughs at me.
"It is not... funny," I warn.
"No- nope, it's not funny," he says making a serious face then bursting out laughing.
"Then stop laughing!" I say giving him the evil eye but then smiling.
"Caroline, our wedding is going to be amazing whether we get married on the beach or in the basement," he says giving me a hug. He right! I relax and smile.
"But it will be on the beach, right," i say.
"I don't know, I do like the comfort of the basement," he says.
I stare at him. Seconds later, we burst out laughing.
I don't care if he really wanted it in a basement.
My June wedding will not be on a basement.
NeVeR!
"Okay, I have to sort some more things out, bye," he says and kisses me.
Kol and Elijah walk my way talking, they see me and stop talking, like they are hiding something.
"What's going on with you two?" I ask pointing at them.
"Nothing of your concern," Elijah answers.
Which makes me believe otherwise.
"Relax darling," Kol says Cooly.
I roll my eyes and smile.
"Then Davina comes rushing in excitedly.
Her warm smiles brightens up the room and Kol smiles.
"Hey, babe," Kol says giving her a kiss.
She smiles looking at his brown eyes.
Awww! They are so cute !
"Hi," she says with an excited smile.
"Congratulations!" She says.
"Thank you, Davina," I say.
"Hey, I was rude to you before, I'm sorry," I say apologetically.
"No worries, don't sweat it. You were going through a rough time, it's okay," she says.
She gives me a hug.
"Klaus and I worked on a surprise for you. You'll get it tomorrow,"
"Another surprise. Damn aren't I lucky," I say.
"Bloody hell you are," Rebekah says joining us.
"I think you'll like this one especially," she adds.
Then they leave me to wonder.

Later that night I am lying in bed with my fiancé next to me with his arm around me.
"Our wedding is in two more days," I say quietly, shocked.
"I know! I've been on this earth for over a thousand years and never did I think that I would be lucky enough to marry a women that I love, let alone you Caroline Forbes," he says.
I kiss him.
"I cannot wait to marry you," I whisper.
And our eyes shut.

The next day I get up early, I'm the only one awake. I take a stroll in the garden. I wanted to get up early.
I just wanted to soak up everything. I feel the fresh breezy air on my face. My hair flowing in the wind. I look at the view and all my surroundings. It really is a sight for sore eyes.
When I go back inside, it's around 7:00 am. I see a bunch of rose petals all over the floor.
Then I see a note.
It reads.
*𝙷𝚎𝚕𝚕𝚘 𝙻𝚞𝚟, 𝙸 𝚑𝚊𝚟𝚎 𝚊 𝚜𝚞𝚛𝚙𝚛𝚒𝚜𝚎 𝚏𝚘𝚛 𝚢𝚘𝚞. 𝚃𝚘 𝚏𝚒𝚗𝚍 𝚒𝚝, 𝚏𝚘𝚕𝚕𝚘𝚠 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚛𝚘𝚜𝚎 𝚙𝚎𝚝𝚊𝚕𝚜. 𝙸 𝚕𝚘𝚟𝚎 𝚢𝚘𝚞 𝚊𝚕𝚠𝚊𝚢𝚜 𝚊𝚗𝚍 𝚏𝚘𝚛𝚎𝚟𝚎𝚛
𝙺𝚕𝚊𝚞𝚜*
I smile, then I get curious. I trace over the words with my fingers.
Okay Klaus, what's my surprise?
I follow the rose petals.
They practically take me half way around the mansion.
When I was just apart to go find Klaus I have another clue.
*𝓚𝓵𝓪𝓾𝓼 𝓽𝓸𝓵𝓭 𝓶𝓮 𝔂𝓸𝓾 𝓶𝓲𝓰𝓱𝓽 𝓰𝓲𝓿𝓮 𝓾𝓹 𝓪𝓷𝓭 𝓰𝓸 𝓵𝓸𝓸𝓴𝓲𝓷𝓰 𝓯𝓸𝓻 𝓱𝓲𝓶. 𝓢𝓽𝓪𝔂 𝓸𝓷 𝓽𝓱𝓮 𝓹𝓪𝓽𝓱. 𝓣𝓱𝓮 𝓻𝓸𝓼𝓮 𝓹𝓮𝓽𝓪𝓵𝓼𝓽𝓸𝓸𝓴 𝓶𝓮 𝓪𝓰𝓮𝓼 𝓽𝓸 𝓹𝓵𝓪𝓬𝓮. 𝓘 𝓹𝓻𝓸𝓶𝓲𝓼𝓮 𝓲𝓽'𝓼 𝔀𝓸𝓻𝓽𝓱 𝓲𝓽
𝓓𝓪𝓿𝓲𝓷𝓪 *
How did she know-
I wasn't gonna -
I look around.
I see nothing but I hear some faint voices. I can't make it out.
Okay they must know I'm close...
Then I walk into a room, sure enough standing before me is: Elijah, Klaus, Davina, Rebekah, Hayley, Kol and Marcel.
They all have serious faces.
They are all so still.
"Through that door," they all chorus.
"But- what- huh?"
"Through that door," they say again.
I slowly and cautiously walk towards the door.
I stretch my hand out.
Twist the door knob.
And...
I GASP
"OH MY GOD!"
