   At this moment, Caroline was sitting in the living room of her aunt's house with a laptop, tablet, 4 phones and a bunch of papers in front of her, trying to find a job. So, when she found out that she had been given a job as a nurse, to which she had applied some time ago and which would guarantee her a place to live, food and a loose schedule, she literally started to jump through the room. She had been hired by a millionaire named Elijah Smith to take care of his brother with an undetected mental illness, Niklaus.

   Six years. It had been six years since he first entered New Orleans in about 100 years, but he wished he had never done it. He wished he hadn't believed the rumor about the witch plotting against him, he wished he never have been captured by those witches and cursed. Sure, tecnic could find them and kill them all, one by one...but the problem was than he was nestled in a ball in bed, being afraid to go down from it. When the blonde put his hand on his face and felt tears, he wanted to scream, but all that came out was a whimper. Whimper, who although wasn't strong, alerted his brother, who came running into the hybrid's room. Niklaus felt like a child again when he clung to Elijah, allowing the man in the suit to use his vampire force to lift him up in his arms and take him downstairs, whispering soothing words to him.

"'Lijah"

"I know, Niklaus."

"I..."

"Use your words. You're safe. It's just me here."

"Do you really have to hire that human nurse?"
"We've talked about this before."

"I am perfectly able to protect myself."

"I know you are. But I don't want you to be alone for so long, you can have a flashback, Niklaus. And I know that just the thought of being completely alone for more than 10 minutes terrifies you."

"What have I become? Look at me: crying for no reason, locking myself in my own mind, and being afraid to go anywhere without you or Rebekah holding my hand."

"There's nothing wrong with you. It's the curse. And we'll always be here to take care of you when you can't. Always and forever."
