to the rescue (on hold - huge rewrite)

The Plan Is No Plan

Every person concerned about Caroline was gathered in the Mikaelson's living room. Katherine and Stefan have arrived half an hour ago and Stefan has just handed to Klaus one of Caroline's belongings, which was needed for the spell. Stefan was completely clueless to the fact that this necklace was quite valuable for Klaus. Because it meant that after all this time, Caroline chose to keep it with her, instead of throwing it away. Not only that, but she also wanted it enough to bring it with her during her stay in New Orleans.

In that moment, Klaus realized that what he suspected before could never be true. Caroline returned the feelings he had for her. Even in the minimum of what he felt for her. But he didn't care. It was enough for him that she didn't forget him, when he left Mystic Falls.

And because of the value it carried, Klaus didn't want to share that information with anyone else. Therefore, he acted as if this necklace was merely a piece of jewelry. Only he knew the truth.

After some long silent minutes, the witch has come and she gathered every item needed for the spell on a table. Every chanting noise was blocked out, as the only thing he could hear were his own thoughts. He prayed that they would manage to find her location and get to her, before it was too late, because then... He would never be able to forgive himself for all of the lost time. So much time wasted bickering at one another. And when he left Mystic Falls, he basically gave up trying to pursue her, when he knew that she would eventually admit her feelings to him. He was so stupid. Because when she did admit her feelings, he swore to never set foot in her hometown again. For how much he wanted to.

Before he realized it, the locator's spell has been performed and they knew exactly where Caroline was. That meant only one thing. It was time to think of a rescue plan. All three of them. Klaus, Stefan and Katherine. What are the odds of such a plan succeeding?

***

Hours and minutes have lost their value for Caroline. All she could count was pain and drops of blood, as this man's tortures continued and never failed to bring new waves of agony. One whole day has passed and no one has even searched for her. However, it could be more than a day. She couldn't really tell. She was beginning to lose her stamina and more importantly her hope of surviving this man's torment.

After a while, she started to lose her consciousness and eventually passed out from the loss of blood. When she managed to wake up, the man was still here. Looking at her with an evil grin, she was sure he was about to inflict pain on her again. But when he started talking, she was happily surprised.

"Since you're most likely going to die, I might as well tell you who I am. I am Isaac Irvine." He admitted to Caroline, even though she still had no idea who that man was.

"Is that supposed to mean something to me?" She wondered.

"No. Not to you, but definitely to your friend, Elena Gilbert." He answered truthfully.

"How do you know Elena?" Caroline asked feeling once again threatened.

"Oh, I know Elena all too well. Too well, if you know what I mean." He said knowingly.

"What- Oh. But... how? I've never heard of your name before. You're certainly not from Mystic Falls or I would know you."

"The reason you haven't heard my name before is because Elena and I had a secret affair. While she was with Matt Donovan, we met and fell in love." He summed up in a sentence how he knew Elena.

"Then, why didn't she broke up with him?"Caroline wondered a by all means fair question.

"She was about to, but around the time she had decided to do so, her parents died and I had to leave town."
