Fade Into Me

Destiny and Blood

"We will find a way... we will find a way." he said mostly repeating the encouragement he needed for himself.
Caroline controlled her sobs and rested her hands on each side of his neck. "We will find a way." she said reassuring him.

Klaus kissed her tasting the salt in her lips and taking that final strength he needed and that she always gave him, she stroked his neck kissing him back.
He breathed against her lips, his forehead against hers.

"What are we going to do now?" Caroline asked him. For sure he had a plan and she wanted to be involved in it.
There were footsteps growing closer and she looked behind her, Stefan and Yana came in front of a large group of men.

Caroline wasn't sure if she felt more frightened now or before; sure, they were all under Klaus' command but they also were a powerful omen to war.
This is what Mikael craved for; he wanted the natural power that Klaus had to lead packs of werewolves that sired themselves to him easily and without raising any questions.

Mikael wanted this but he also wanted to be able to sire vampires as well, to become the most powerful and strong creature on this planet.
Klaus was happy to see his friend again and quickly let him in on everything that was happening.

"I got a call from the pack keeping watch on Bonnie's house, Mikael has been there with Elena, he was looking for something."
Klaus nodded. "I know what he was after, let him leave... I know where he is doing the ritual."

"You think he's doing it now?" Stefan asked.
"He doesn't have much time, I bit my mother and she doesn't have long to live."

"But he doesn't have a witch." Caroline said walking closely behind them.
"He might not need one." Klaus said and she realized they were near the Old Witch house.

It was said that a group of witches had died in this house and that their presence and spirit was kept inside after the violent death. Just like their magic.
"Why would they help him?" Caroline asked fearing his answer.

Stefan and Yana walked ahead, giving them some privacy and taking knives out of their pockets, Mikael's pack was around.
Klaus faced Caroline, there was a lost and confused expression on her features. "I killed Emily, they hate me and they will help him because he will promise to kill me in return." He said slowly.

"You don't know that." she whispered.
He smiled at her. "Sweetheart... he wants this and he will not stop until he gets what he wants and I don't intend to stop him."

"What?" she asked gulping down.
"There is only one way to kill Mikael, when he's half way through the ritual, he will be weak and vulnerable and I will have my chance then."

She shook her head softly. "You are going to get hurt."
"I am half werewolf sweetheart, I have a beating heart that can be destroyed as easily as a human heart."

Caroline clutched his shirt in her hands reacting to his aching words.
"It doesn't mean that I will die if it stops, I am half vampire as well." he said with a smirk.

She couldn't smile with his words; she couldn't be ok with the thought of losing him.
"Caroline..." he stroked her face with his thumbs. "I love you, as a doomed human or a cursed Hybrid I have only belonged to one woman."

She slowly traced her bottom lip with her tongue; this was already killing her. "I can't lose you." she said locking her eyes with his.
"The legend says that the woman I love, that made me feel, will be the last one to listen to my heart beat, that she will kill me."

"It's a lie, it's a fake legend that Elijah made up." she hastily fought where he was going with this.
"He also kept Elena's and Katherine's true purpose from me; he didn't want me to be able to make more hybrids."
