Is it Destiny?

Chapter 34

After what felt like centuries Klaus finally fell away from the bed and slumped down to the floor. She was gone, her ashes covering the entire left side of the mattress. He needed to find out what had happened to her and instantly grabbed the journal from nightstand and pulled it down to him. He sat there on the floor. He leaned his back up against the side of the bed, head throbbing, as he wiped his tears away. He pushed the grief aside as right now he needed answers.

The leather journal was different than the others laying around. It was a deep crimson red and was labeled "Read me". He slowly opened it, his hands trembling as he feared what it would say.

My dearest Klaus,

This is my diary that I am will be writing in every night before going to sleep. I started it the day after you left and it will explain to you why I needed this time alone.

I love you and I was only trying to do what was best for us both.

Forever yours,

Caroline

Klaus turned to the first page as he sat himself up a little further, sliding her wedding band half way down his pinky, right above his large knuckle twirling it with his thumb. He took a deep breath and began reading.

Day 1

I am sitting her alone wondering if I made the right decision. As he walked away I wanted nothing more than to run after him, throw myself into his embrace and spend eternity never letting go. But I knew what I needed to do. Nik told me he was going to send the witch and while I waited for her I needed to focus on my reason for being out here. I have yet to decide what I will do about my memories. I want to remember but a small piece of me is afraid of remembering the look in his eyes and the deadly words that he threw at me that horrible day. I will not think about it anymore today I am here for one reason... to write. I will start the first journal with my childhood memories in Mystic Falls leading up to my first time learning of Niklaus Mikaelson. After that I will write a single journal for each year I have lived. Over two centuries worth of journals I need to focus my time on right now.

Klaus turned the page in a hurry to continue.

Day 2

I spent the day finishing the first journal. Reminiscing about my friends that I grew up with has made me home sick more than ever. I am looking forward to being with them once again. I can only hope I did not screw up their lives too much with the changes I have made to the past. Damon is happily married so I doubt he will come too town and even if he does he will never fall for Elena. Stefan on the other hand is still a big question mark, perhaps with Damon not being there Elena and him will finally end up together. A part of me hopes she finds someone outside of this crazy supernatural world I live in. I am not sure what to do about Nik's hybrid curse and what that means for Elena but I know when the time comes we will figure it out together. I wonder what will happen to Bonnie since I killed Mikael her mother never has to leave her. I do not want to think too much about the future, I will be there in a few more decades, I can only hope for the best.

I am missing Nik more than I had thought I would. My entire body is aching to be near him. I never thought this could be so hard. Luckily I am able to get lost in my writing during the day. Last night my dreams were filled with nothing but him. I hope he is not sitting around mopping without me there.

Klaus looked up from the pages of the diary and let out a deep breath. He looked around the room and noticed it was trashed much like the living room had been. He stood up and walked around the room. He noticed the drops of blood leading to her bed. He let out a deep growl as he began frantically searching each page of the journal in his hand for a clue as to what had happened to her. He finally stopped on the page marked Day 48 when he saw the words, witch.
