Chapter 1: Lost in a Fairy Tale

"The coast is clear." Elena called to her best friends, Bonnie Bennett and Caroline Forbes. The three young women, well, two vampires and a witch, snuck carefully up the stairs to the attic of the Salvatore Boarding house. They were armed with cleaning supplies and Caroline was armed with bottles of champagne.

"I thought we were supposed to be cleaning?" Bonnie eyed the bottles in the blonde's arms as she spoke.

Caroline shrugged. "I'm multi-tasking. Besides attics are spooky. And if I'm going to be stuck up here all day I might as well get drunk." Brushing away cobwebs, she made a face.

"Whoa, this place is a mess." Bonnie exclaimed, looking at all the items just laying around.

Elena picked up a top hat and cane. She began to do a little dance that reminded her friends of something out of Mary Poppins. Caroline set down the bottles and picked up a saber. Unsheathing it, she began to raise it and then spun around. "Hi yah." Bonnie jumped away from her weapon wielding friend.

"Stefan's diaries," Caroline called, picking up a book and dusting it off. "Oh, the 1920s version. He's talking about Klaus." She began to read to herself, shaking her head, her lips pursed. After a few minutes she shut the book and set it down.

Bonnie and Elena watched as Caroline's expression became thoughtful. Looking at each other they both felt curious about what caused Caroline to stop speaking. It seemed as if there was nothing that could cause the former Miss Mystic Falls to ever stop speaking. "Anything interesting?" Bonnie inquired, going through some old clothes.

"Nope," Caroline shook her head fervently but she still looked contemplative.

"Okay," Elena sighed not wanting to push the issue. Picking up a champagne bottle, she handed it to Caroline, who smiled wistfully at it.

"Our thing," Caroline whispered.

"What?" Bonnie called, looking through a box of old books. "Hey, guys look what I found." She waved her friends over to her. Pulling out a book, she blew the dust off the cover.

Caroline began to cough, waving the dust away and then took a sip from the bottle. "What is it?"

Elena began to smile when she saw the first illustration. "It's Neverland." She exclaimed with delight. "These must be Damon's and Stefan's books from when they were little." Reaching into the box, she began to pull out fairy tales and Caroline picked up Little Red Riding Hood.

Sitting down on the floor with her legs crossed in front of her, Caroline began to read her childhood favorite, ignoring her friend. There was just something about the big bad wolf. Flushing at the thought, Caroline began to sip at her champagne as she engrossed her herself in the tale. She hadn't seen Klaus in months and good riddance. He was the reason that she and Tyler had broken up and Elena was with Damon and the general reason for many bad things that happened in Mystic Falls.

Klaus was the Big Bad Wolf. The stupid guy, who went around killing people's mothers and friends and aunts. And then went around with his stupid dimples and his charm. And his sketches and his dancing. And his… Why was she even thinking about the crazed hybrid anyway? Oh, wait that's right. Because Elena wanted to go snooping in the Salvatores' attic to try to dig up information on Damon.

"I feel like there is so much about him I don't know," Elena had said.

Now Caroline was stuck up here in this musty attic with her friends on a perfectly good weekend away from campus. This just sucked. Staring at her friends, Caroline noticed that Bonnie was curled up with _Peter_ _Pan_ and Elena was reading _Rapunzel_. "Let down your long hair," Caroline called to Elena with a grin.

Laughing, Elena got up to retrieve the other two bottles of champagne. "I would if it were still that long."

"Really? Have you seen mine?" Bonnie scoffed, playing with her short locks.

"I like your hair, Bon," Elena replied. Getting back up, she exclaimed. "Come on, Wendy let's go see what other creatures inhabit this island."

Elena and Bonnie went further into the piles of artifacts. Bonnie came out in a dress which looked like it came from the Victorian period. "Whoa. You look like Wendy Darling," Caroline exclaimed, staring at her friend with a wide grin. Bonnie twirled in her dress.

Then there was a shuffling sound before Elena appeared in a long gown that looked like it must have been from a costume party. Placing a fake crown on her head she walked forward giggling. "How do I look?"

"Like you just woke up in the wrong century and lost your spindle." Caroline retorted. Looking around Caroline began to search through the various things that the Salvatores needed to donate to a rummage sale. "Seriously," She muttered before she found it. "Oh, my God. Lena, Bon. Look!" Elena and Bonnie came over and gasped at Caroline's find. There in between plies of old clothes was a spinning wheel.

Walking over to it like she was mesmerized, Elena reached out to touch the needle when Caroline grabbed her. "What are you doing?" Caroline asked, shaking her head at a bewildered Elena.

Shaking her own head, Elena laughed. "I have no idea." Looking around, she spotted something in the corner, peeking out from a box. She pulled in out and held it up for the others' inspection. "Here's your cape." Handing the cape to Caroline, Elena and Bonnie clapped as Caroline tied the strings and struck a pose.

Hours later they were sitting on the floor once more engrossed in their individual texts. Having drunk the rest of the champagne, they were now discussing what would happen if they were ever in the tales. "I would stay in Neverland where things aren't as hard as they are here and I would steal Hook's ship to travel on," Bonnie declared.

"I would steal Rumpelstiltskin's wand and fix all the horrible things he did." Elena told them.

Caroline thought about her answer. "I would tame the Big Bad Wolf. I think he could be be better if someone cared about him."

Bonnie and Elena looked at each other and then burst into laughter. Caroline stared at them. "What?" Folding her arms over her chest, she began to pout.

"Is it the Big Bad Wolf you want to tame or is it the Big Bad Hybrid?" Elena teased Caroline.

"WHAT?" Caroline shouted indignantly. "Just because you choose the bad boy doesn't mean we are all attracted to the darkness?"

Shifting to watch her friends, Bonnie wanted to diffuse the tension but then Elena jumped to her feet. Then they really started to yell. Crawling away from them on her hands and knees, Bonnie found a spell book. Her eyes widened when she read the name Emily Bennett. 'Why would the Salvatores have a book that belonged to her family?' Bonnie opened the book and began to flip through the pages absently.

Finding a spell called. "Forgetting Past Wrongs." That sounded good. Maybe it would be a temporary fix but it might be enough to make Caroline and Elena stop fighting since they looked like they were about to hit each other. When veins started sprouting and fangs started growing Bonnie knew it was time for drastic measures.

Reciting the spell quietly, it wasn't until the last word fell from Bonnie's lips that Caroline turned around. "Bonnie, what are you doing?" And the lights went out and Bonnie fell asleep.

Somewhere Far from Mystic Falls

Waking up Bonnie felt groggy. Sitting up slowly, she noticed that the sun was up. Placing her hands down at her sides, she felt sand beneath them. Looking around her, she saw water on one side and a forest on the other. "Where am I?" Bonnie whispered.

"Bonnie?" A voice called. Why did it sound so familiar? Staring in the direction of the trees she began to scramble backwards when the person who was calling her name emerged. "There you are, Bonnie, we've been looking all over for you."

"Stay away from me." Bonnie warned as she continued to scramble backwards.

"Bonnie. What's wrong?" Kol Mikaelson asked, looking down at Bonnie, concerned.

"What are you wearing?" Bonnie asked, staring at the green shirt and pants clad vampire. Kol looked absurd.

"What?" Kol asked, still looking concerned. He started to move toward Bonnie again. She tried to use her powers to stop him but nothing happened. When he was right in front of her he placed a hand on her shoulder. She could fell his body heat through the flimsy dress. That was odd because vampires were cold and Kol's cheeks were rosy.

"Where are we?" Bonnie asked, staring at Kol in wonder. Did she die and now she was in some odd version of the other side?

"You must have hit your head. We're in Neverland." Kol told her and Bonnie passed out.

Not so far away:

"Bonnie! Caroline!" Elena called out to her friends, who had disappeared. She slumped down at the little stool in the room she had woken up in. 'How much had she had to drink? I will not drink again. Ever!' Elena silently chanted to herself when someone appeared in front of her.

"What's the problem, deary?" The former mayor of Mystic Falls, Richard Lockwood, clapped his hands together, cackling. Elena fell off the stool trying to vamp speed away from the green ghost.

"Mayor Lockwood?" Elena gasped.

"Well, most people know me by another name. But we'll go with that one." The mayor told Elena. "I am here to grant you a wish."

"Huh?" Elena felt confused and scared of the mayor, more so than when he was alive and that was saying something. Pushing herself to her feet, Elena ran out of the room and outside into an unfamiliar lawn, where there was nothing but grass and woods. "Where am I?"

In other tale:

Caroline woke up rubbing her hand over her eyes. Sitting up, she found she was in the middle of a road with a basket beside her. "That's weird?" Looking around, Caroline found that there was no one around. "Hello?" She called to hear no response. "Bonnie? Elena? This is not funny."

Rolling her eyes, Caroline got up and started to vamp speed and found she got two feet ahead. Trying again, nothing happened. "What the hell?" She moaned in frustration. Then someone appeared from the woods with an axe.

Seeing Mikael Mikaelson, Caroline screamed and bolted. She dropped the basket but she didn't care. Wherever she was, she would not be hanging around to find out why Mikael had an axe and who he planned on using it on.

Back in Mystic Falls:

"It should be in the attic." Damon called, over his shoulder as Klaus Mikaelson and Damon's younger brother, Stefan, followed him up the stairs. When they got to the attic Damon didn't think too much about walking inside. Klaus and Stefan walked into the attic and woke up somewhere else.

In Neverland:

Blinking at the incredible sunlight, Stefan shaded his eyes. "Bonnie?" He called, seeing her with what looked like Kol Mikaelson in a pair of green shorts.

"Stefan," Bonnie called, running toward him. Stefan would have sped over to her but his powers didn't seem to be working. Seeing he was no longer in possession of his day light ring, Stefan began to panic.

"Bonnie, what's going on?" Stefan asked the witch, who was also wearing a costume and her hair had grown out really quickly.

"We're in Neverland," Bonnie told him slowly.

"Oh," Stefan said before looking at Kol. "Peter Pan?"

Kol nodded. "Yes, but now I go by Kol."

In a Kingdom:

Waking up, Damon sat up in the middle of a large room. "Your majesty? Are you alright?" Looking over Damon saw Alaric looking down at him in concern. "What?"

"You looked like you might have, um, swooned…" Alaric smirked down at Damon. Before he could continue Damon jerked him into a hug.

"You're alive." Damon exclaimed, clinging to his friend.

"Yes, I am. Now, your majesty, your parents would like to see you about matter of some urgency to the kingdom." Alaric informed Damon, pressing his jacket down.

"Oh, and what's that?" Damon asked, wondering where in the heck he was.

"They want you to find a princess, sir," Alaric informed him slowly.

"Oh. That all." Damon replied. "Point me at them." He fully intended on telling his so called parents in this land he wasn't getting stuck with some random chick. He needed to get back to Elena.

In a forest:

Klaus jumped to his feet, growling. Staring around the road he had just woken up on he was intent on finding Damon and ripping his head off. Striding forward, he began to make more detailed plans of what he would do to make the elder Salvatore suffer when a girl in a red cape flew into his arms. "Help!" The girl squealed.

Feeling his lips quirk upward, Klaus thought that maybe he had time for a snack. Reaching forward, he pushed the hood back. He was not expecting to come face to face with Caroline Forbes. "Caroline?"

Gasping, Caroline stared up at Klaus. "Klaus?" She whispered. Placing a hand on his cheek like she didn't believe he was really there, Caroline blinked back tears before she turned her head. "Of course, because the story isn't complete without the Big Bad Wolf."

"What?" Klaus asked as Caroline pulled her hand away and began to step around him. "Caroline." Reaching out Klaus spun her around and grasped her face between his hands. "Where are you going?"

"Away from you." Caroline declared, shoving him away with a surprising amount of strength given that she smelled… human? She began to walk away from him when someone came down the road with an axe and she turned around, shoving Klaus ahead of her. "Run!" She screamed at him.

"Why? Whoever it is I will rip them apart if they touch you." Klaus told Caroline, who continued to shove him from behind.

"You don't understand. It's the woodsman. He kills the wolf in the story. You have to run." Caroline shoved Klaus again harder.

Turning around, Klaus was about to tell Caroline no man would ever scare him when he saw Mikael with an axe. Without thinking, Klaus picked Caroline up and threw her over his shoulder. He ran into the woods as Caroline complained with every twig that hit her. As much as he loved to listen to her he currently wished she would shut up. When he vocalized this wish he got a knee to his solar plexus which left him winded but he forged on in the hopes that he would lose Mikael by night fall.

	2. Chapter 2

**Hello, my lovely readers. I hope you enjoy this chapter. On with the show…**

Chapter 2: How to Write Your Own Tale

Neverland:

"You've found a lost boy," Kol exclaimed staring at Stefan with a huge grin.

Stefan shook his head. "Oh, no. I am not a lost boy. I grew up. See. Well, I didn't really hit eighteen and technically I'm not old enough to vote. But-"

Kol shook his own head. "No, Stefan. You are a lost boy. So, am I as well as the others. Come, Bonnie." Holding out his hand for her take Kol waited. Bonnie looked at Stefan questioningly before she took Kol's hand. They began to walk into the woods. Stefan and Bonnie were not happy about having lost their powers but they were relieved that Kol did not seem to have his own either.

As they entered into a clearing they found other young people they had known over the years in Mystic Falls. Vikki and Anna were sitting on a log talking about something. Across from them was a young boy with longish dark hair, who looked up when Kol entered. "Kol," he called.

"Henrick," Kol called back happily gaining the others' attention. A boy sitting next to Henrick, looked up and Bonnie gasped. "Luka?" He didn't look the way he had the last time she saw him. No longer suffering from severe burns, Luka's skin was smooth and he seemed happy to see Bonnie.

Getting up, Luka came over and hugged Bonnie, causing her to cry. "Hey." He said. "What are the tears for?"

"You died." Bonnie said, wiping them away.

Luka shook his head. "I'm right here. I'm fine," He told her. "Come, sit with us." He led Bonnie and Stefan to the log he had been sitting on. They sat down beside him and examined the faces of the others.

"I thought they were supposed to be the lost _boys_." Stefan commented looking around him.

"Well, that's very sexist of you, Stef." A voice said from somewhere behind Stefan. Turning around he was amazed.

"Lexi," Stefan replied, hugging his friend and then he noticed the wings. "Whoa! Where did those come from?"

Lexi laughed. "The wings? They come with the whole fairy package."

Stefan gaped at his friend. "You're Tinkerbell?"

Lexi began to laugh. "Duh."

A Little Cottage:

Outside the cottage the Mayor had come to watch Elena trudge around the lawn, looking for an escape route. "Sorry, Deary. But that is not how you get to meet your prince."

Stopping in her tracks, Elena spun around on her heel. "Look, Mayor Lockwood. Or whatever your name is, I just want to go home. I don't care about some guy I never met before. All I want is to find my friends and get out of here."

The Mayor stopped grinning and rubbing his hands which was a relief because he was seriously creepy. "What girl would _not_ want to meet the prince? That is what all you girls want - a little prince to take you off to your kingdom and make more little princes."

"You know, Mayor, I know that you probably won't understand this but it's the twenty-

first century. Now, women go out and make their own kingdoms. When they're ready they find a guy and make with the babies. So, just sell you little spiel to someone else. Besides I already have a boyfriend." Walking toward the road, Elena began to walk down it not caring what the Mayor thought.

The Mayor hesitated before he began to follow Elena down the road. "And you believe that this boyfriend of yours is so much better than the prince?"

Nodding, Elena kept walking. "Yes, he is." The Mayor waited for more. "At first I was a little scared because he's done a lot of really, really bad things. But Damon has really proven himself."

Stopping, the Mayor began to cackle and Elena strode ahead. "Did you say, Damon, Deary?"

Elena continued walking, not pausing once in her stride. "Yes, Damon Salvatore is my boyfriend and I am proud to tell the whole world."

The Mayor began to laugh even harder before he ran after her. "_The_ Damon Salvatore is your boyfriend, deary? I think not."

Stopping, Elena glared at the Mayor placing her hands on her hips. "Oh, and what makes you think that?"

"He's the prince of this fair land," the Mayor told her and Elena's jaw dropped. "Now, where were we? Oh, yes, we were making a deal so you may be reunited with your prince. Or united in the first place," the Mayor shrugged with a wide smile.

In the Kingdom:

Striding down the hall, Damon pushed the doors open to a courtroom in which a man and a woman sat on the thrones. He swallowed thickly as he looked at the woman. "Mother?" He whispered, before walking through the throng of lords and ladies. Stepping before his parents, he bowed once to his father before he turned to his mother and before he could stop himself he wrapped his arms around his mother. "Mom."

"Damon." Pulling away, Damon was afraid he might cry as he looked down into his mother's ice blue eyes. The eyes he had inherited.

"Are you feeling well, son?" The question came from Damon's right and he turned to his father, who looked worried.

"I'm fine, father." Damon said, straightening up.

Giusseppe smiled. "Good. I would not want my only child to become sick. Several people have contracted an illness this year and have succumbed to it."

"Oh," Damon frowned. 'Well, it was good thing he was vampire then.' Nodding, he tried to look like he cared but right now he just wanted to find Elena. He had to introduce her to his mother. Then it dawned on him that he was an only child. 'Yes,' Damon thought, smiling on the inside. Of course, he didn't plan on staying here but he had to appreciate a world in which he was a prince with his mother and father alive and no pesky baby brother vying for the affections of his girl. Oh, and of course he also had Alaric. How could this go wrong?

"Son, we plan to have a ball in which you must choose a bride." Damon's father informed him while he nodded along absentmindedly. "All the eligible young ladies will be attending."

'Don't they always,' Damon thought repressing a yawn. "No problem, Father." Damon replied with a smirk. "Now, if you'll excuse us, Ric and I have things to talk about." Turning to his mother, Damon smiled. "Can we have lunch together? I'd like to catch up." His mother nodded and Damon smiled more widely before he grabbed Ric and headed out of the courtroom.

"Ric, we have to find my girlfriend, Elena. I have a feeling she's stuck here," Damon told his friend.

In a Forest not too Far Away from the Kingdom:

Klaus was puffing now. He had been running for miles and he was exhausted. "Caroline, love, I think you may need to go on a diet." Setting Caroline on her feet she slapped him and it hurt worse than he would have suspected. When he drew his hand back he noticed blood. "Was that necessary?" He growled.

"Very." Caroline snapped before turning on her heel to walk away.

Sighing, Klaus grabbed her by the arm and pulled her back. "You can't keep going. It will be dark soon and you're human. You can't protect yourself."

Trying to pull away from Klaus and failing Caroline glared at him. "And, what, you're going to take care of me? Please? I'd be better off with whatever is out there." She gestured to the surrounding forest. "And, you're human, too. Actually, you're probably the wolf in this story which means you're supposed to kill me. So, just go ahead and do it or let me go."

Blinking quickly Klaus frowned at the new information. That would explain why the wound on his cheek had not closed seconds later and why it hurt so much. While he was deep in thought Caroline wiggled out of his grasp and began to run away. Sucking in a deep breathe he ran after her and wrapped his arms tightly around her waist dragging her back. "I may be the wolf in this story as you say, however, I am less of a threat to you than anything out there. Or did you forget about my axe wielding farther?" He whispered into her ear.

Grunting Caroline gave up fighting and allowed Klaus to set her on her feet in the clearing he had found. "So, are we staying here tonight because I am not the woodsy type."

Klaus smirked as an owl hooted and Caroline backed up into him. "Yes, I suppose we will have to make do until morning."

Rolling her eyes Caroline looked up at the dark sky and then at the ground which looked rather uncomfortable. Taking off her cape she laid it down and then laid down on top of it. After a few minutes she began to shiver and her teeth began to chatter. Just as she was about to wrap the cape around her body something warm pressed up against her back and legs.

Without thinking Caroline snuggled up closer to the source of heat as an arm came down around her chest and pulled the cape over them. "We are not doing this every night until we get out of here." Caroline warned Klaus, who responded by nuzzling her neck with his stubble causing her to shiver.

Thinking Caroline was still cold Klaus pulled her closer and he thought he heard her sigh before her breathing evened out. "Good night, Caroline." He whispered.

After a minute he heard. "Good night, Klaus."

Back in NeverLand:

"Bonnie, Lexi's a fairy." Stefan informed the powerless witch by his side.

"That's nice," Bonnie replied, looking around. "I wonder if my Grams is here." Sighing she looked down. "I guess not since she's not a kid. Not that I am. But still."

Placing a hand on Bonnie's shoulder, Stefan felt concerned about whether Bonnie would get through this experience without becoming depressed. "Maybe she is. We could go look for her." Bonnie stared at him, frowning. "Maybe she just looks different. Maybe this place is like some kind of fountain of youth." Stefan was surprised at his own optimism. It was not a trait he was noted for.

Getting up, Stefan took Bonnie's hand and they set off for the forest. "Where are you going?" Kol called, looking up from a conversation with Anna.

"We're going to look for my grandmother." Bonnie informed Kol. She wasn't sure why. It wasn't like she was that fond of him, even if he was no longer a threat to them.

"Take Lexi with you," Kol told them. "You never know what you might run into and you may need fairy dust to escape. I would come. But there are things I have to take care of here."

Nodding, Bonnie turned to Lexi, who began to fly in front of them. "And that is just plain weird," she muttered before following Stefan and his flying fairy friend.

Back at the Kingdom:

"So, if I were dropped into some freak show of a fairy tale, where would I be?" Damon wondered, running a hand through his prince hair. Pulling his hand back, he stared at it in horror.

"Is there something wrong, your majesty?" Ric asked in concern.

Damon shook his head and sneered as he rubbed his fingers together. "How much goop do I put in my hair in the morning, anyway? It's like I'm Stefan." Rolling his eyes, he looked at Ric. "And stop with the 'your majesty thing. I'm Damon. Just Damon. 'Kay?"

Ric nodded, although he was frowning. "Alright… Damon. Are you sure you're feeling well?"

Damon nodded, when a woman came toward them and his eyes lit up. "Jenna." He exclaimed with a broad grin. Before the woman could speak, he hugged her. She stood there for a moment before patting him on the back lightly.

When Damon let go of Jenna, she curtsied. "Your majesty. You are in a good mood today. Did your parents inform you of the ball tonight?"

"Oh, yeah. That thing," Damon waved a hand. "Old news. So, how are you feeling? Elena will be thrilled to see that you're okay."

Smiling broadly, Damon watched as Jenna turned to Alaric, her lips pursed in confusion. "Lord Alaric, do you know who our Prince is speaking of?"

In the Forest:

It was early morning and as the birds were chirping in the trees, Caroline's lids fluttered open. She did not want to get up. But there were things to do. Her bed was so warm and comfy. 'Maybe just five more minutes,' she thought. Then it dawned on her where she was and she wasn't in bed.

Staring down in horror, Caroline realized she was staring at Klaus's bare chest. Moving her eyes downward she found with relief that he still had his boxer briefs on. However, she then noticed that she was laying on top of him and was down to her bra and panties. 'No, way.' She thought in rage. He had not had the nerve to undress her in her sleep. 'And how did I get to be on top of him?'

As if Klaus could hear her thoughts, he began to shift beneath her slightly wrapping an arm more firmly around her waist. "Go back to sleep, love, it's still too early to go looking for the others." He rested his other arm over her right thigh and that was it.

Sitting bolt upright, Caroline gasped involuntarily and then scooted upward so there was less contact between parts of them that would make this not G rated. "Klaus, wake up. Damn you." Caroline snapped, glaring down at the hybrid. "You… you pig."

"Technically, love, I'm a wolf." Klaus murmured, opening his eyes which glowed yellow and Caroline gasped as she saw his fangs. Smirking, he reached out and fingered one of her curls, twisting it around his finger. "As I said," he leaned forward so she could feel his breath on the bare skin of her collarbone as he brushed his lips against her skin. "Unless you have something else in mind…"

Caroline felt her breath hitch in her throat as he ran his lips along her collar bone, running his hand up and down her back while his other hand was stroking her thigh. Biting her lower lip, Caroline was determined not to give in to Klaus. It didn't matter they were stuck in a fairy tale which was beyond odd. He had no right to try to seduce her just because they were alone and had no one to rely on but each other.

Shoving Klaus down with both hands, Caroline looked around her trying to take in her surroundings. She was not going to give into him. This was not Caroline. She was good. And Klaus was bad. Very, very bad. Oh, this was all so wrong. Finally, concentrating on her surroundings, Caroline gasped when a snowflake fell and then another. Looking up at the sky, she saw that it was lightly snowing and she shivered slightly. Feeling Klaus' hand trailing its way up her back once more, Caroline looked down at the hybrid, who was not even trying to disguise the one thought in his head and she couldn't look away.

Sitting up once more, Klaus cautiously brought his lips to Caroline's. Pulling back, he looked her in the eye. "I will not ask any more from you than you want, Caroline. We can take things as slowly as you would like to. Just lay down with me now. We'll go look for them soon." Pulling her back down, he pulled the cape over their heads and they went back to sleep.

	3. Chapter 3

**Hello, my lovely readers. Are you ready for more fairy tale goodness? On with the show…**

Chapter 3: If You Wish Upon a Star

"Do we have a deal, deary?" Richard Lockwoodstilstikin. Or whatever he went by these day was rubbing his hands together while Elena deflated.

"If you'll stop calling me deary and stop rubbing your hands together," Elena snapped. "Okay, so I'm supposed to like make gold out straw or some crap like that." Shifting from foot to foot, Elena was eager to get this over with so she could get on with meeting the prince and finding out it wasn't Damon so she could keep looking for him. Shaking her head in frustration, Elena walked back into the cottage.

"All you have to do is sign this contract and agree to give me your first born. And then you can be on your way… Elena." The former Mayor of Mystic Falls told her.

Sighing, Elena looked around for a pen and a quill appeared. "Of course," she muttered to herself before the mayor handed it to her and she signed her name quickly. Getting up, she grabbed some straw and then sat back down. "Wait, how do you do this again?" But the mayor had disappeared. "Great."

Flopping down on the stool, Elena placed a piece of the straw on the wheel and it fell off. "Great," she muttered. "I'm going to be at this all day." Bending over, she did not notice as a young man, a young woman and a fairy went by her little cottage along the road.

"Do you think anyone lives in that cottage?" Stefan asked the others.

Bonnie shrugged as they kept walking. "I have no idea. Do you want to check it out?"

Stefan shook his head. "No, they would probably just be another one of these characters who doesn't know anything."

Lexi flew back and waved her wand in his face. "Who do you think you're calling a character, Stefan?"

"No one, Lex, calm down." Stefan held up his hands in surrender.

Bonnie began to chuckle. "You two really are funny together."

Stefan shook his head and began to chuckle. "I guess we are. Lexi, do you know where we are?" He called to his winged friend.

"Not a clue," Lexi called back as a man approached on a horse.

The man slowed the horse down in front of them. "Greetings from the kingdom. Is the young lady spoken for?" Galen Vaughn asked.

Stefan and Bonnie traded looks and Bonnie folded her arms over her chest. "Yes. Why?"

Galen dismounted his horse and took Bonnie's hand before kissing it lightly. "There is to be a ball at the palace tonight and King Giuseppe has asked that all the young women of the land be invited to attend."

"Did you say Giuseppe?" Stefan asked, his eyebrows rising and his stomach swiveling in an unpleasant manner.

"Yes, have you met our king?" Galen inquired, staring at Stefan.

Stefan shook his head. "Nope. Never. And who would the prince be again?"

"Prince Damon. The ball is being hosted in his honor. The king and queen wish to find him a wife," Galen informed them. "I must be off to inform others."

After Galen mounted his horse and was at a safe distance away Stefan and Bonnie began to laugh. "Prince Damon?" The two yelled at each other. "Needs a wife?" Laughing hysterically, they had to wait a few minutes before they could continue on their journey. "So, are you going to the ball?" Stefan teased Bonnie.

"What and become the wife to Prince Damon? I think not." Bonnie shook her head, grinning.

"Bonnie," Stefan called, since she had started to walk and he was still standing still.

Bonnie stopped and turned around. "Yeah?"

"I have to go," Stefan said grimly. "My parents might be there."

Sighing, Bonnie walked back over to him and placed a hand on his shoulder. "Stefan, they're not really your parents."

"I know. But I need to see them, Bon," Stefan said his eyes pleading with her to understand.

"Okay. I'll go. But if I end up getting married to your brother you are going to owe me big time." Bonnie shook a finger at Stefan who grinned and wrapped his arm around her shoulders before they set off again.

Further into the Forest:

Smiling on the inside, Caroline entangled her fingers in Klaus' hair as he laid on top of her, kissing her like it was the one thing he wanted on earth. 'Bad, very bad, Caroline,' she thought to herself. What would her friends think if they could see her now with her legs wrapped around the waist of the murderous wolf?

Shoving the thought away with a resounding mental kick, Caroline closed her eyes as his lips moved to trail down her neck. They had woken up an hour ago and neither said a word before they started to make out like two teenagers on their first unsupervised date. It was exhilarating. It was wrong. But it was passionate. When was the last time she felt like? Oh, yeah, Tyler. But Tyler had left to go be the villain. He had left her and broken her heart again. Now, she was rolling around on the ground with his sworn enemy and she didn't give a damn.

Rolling on top of Klaus, Caroline pressed her lips more firmly against Klaus' feeling his hand move to the back of her bra, unhooking it and she let him. Feeling the straps being slid off as his fingers brushed her skin, pulling the garment away and laying it aside. They sat up and she moaned slightly, wondering how far she should let him go before they stopped.

'If an ancient former hybrid and a former vampire get it on in the woods what sound would they make?' Caroline thought, grinning.

This time she had not internalized the grin and Klaus pulled back to look at her. "What are you thinking, love?" He asked, before pressing his mouth and his hands to her chest making her bite her lip harder.

"Hmm… I was thinking that what happens in fairy tale land…" Caroline whispered, not being able to finish her sentence, she felt her body reacting to his movements and trying to hold back from ripping his shorts off and finishing what they started.

"Care to finish that thought, love?" Klaus asked, moving backward and looking her in the eye, his lids hooded.

Grinning, Caroline pressed her lips to his once more before pulling away and wrapping her arms around his neck. For the first time in a long time she felt blissfully unrestrained. "I was thinking that we can do anything we want. And it doesn't matter. We can stay here in the woods and live on berries and woodland creatures for months and have lots and lots of sex and screw the consequences because no one's here to stop us or judge us. No one's here to say it's wrong or bad. We ca-"

Before Caroline could say another word, Klaus picked her up and sat her back down on the cape. Her jaw dropped as he walked over to where his clothes were lying and he began to dress. "Klaus? Klaus, what… what did I say?" Caroline was utterly and completely confused.

"Put you clothes on, Caroline. We're going to find your friends." He did not even bother to look at her before, he strode away leaving Caroline to sit, who was shivering before she put her bra back on and dressed hurriedly. When she began to walk quickly in the direction she had seen him walking towards, she found he had killed a deer.

Gagging, Caroline could barely recognize the animal. "You killed Bambi." She whispered, fighting the urge to dry heave.

Klaus wiped his bloody hands on his pants and then wiped the blood from his mouth. "Yes, and Thumper." Turning to look, Caroline really wished she hadn't as she fell to her knees as her stomach balked. Klaus did not seem to care as he turned away from her and began to walk away. "Where are you going?" Caroline gasped, holding her stomach.

"After wood and water," Klaus snapped, before he strode off. Staring at the dead animals again, Caroline began to cry.

About Twenty Yards Away:

Bloody freaking fairy tales. Klaus kicked at the surrounding foliage. He wanted to kill something other than Bambi. He was never a fan of fairy tales; even as a child he found them simplistic. After he became a vampire, he had scoffed at tales of heroes and princesses riding off into the sunset. And, thanks to his beloved, Caroline, he had been reminded once more that he was _the_ villain. He was unworthy of love or forgiveness. There was no land in which he would not be judged for his past behavior.

Growling, Klaus punched a tree and pulled his hand back to find it bleeding. Hissing in pain he continued walking. Somewhere out there his father was wandering about and was apparently hunting him. What else was new? Klaus was used to being hunted. And unloved. Wasn't that how he ended up here in the first place?

Elijah and the mother of his child, Hayley, had decided to move out of their home; they had been living together post-birth. He was now the father of a beautiful, baby girl, who did not even live under his roof. Klaus was permitted to visit so long as he did not attempt to take the babe.

As for Rebekah, she had gone to live with his former protégé, Marcel in a home Marcel had built for them. It was all so quaint. He had told her that Marcel would break her heart and she would come running back to Klaus, as she always did and she would find he had moved on from New Orleans after he drove a stake through lover's heart. Klaus hated betrayal more than anything.

Putting these thoughts aside he thought he smelled something that was deliciously human. Grinning, Klaus moved quietly toward his prey, a young man. Rather, he was little more than a child. Close to being a teenager. Klaus loathed teenagers. As he was about to lunge, the boy turned to look at him and Klaus fell to his knees.

"Henrick?" He gasped feeling like he couldn't breathe as he stared at his youngest brother. Just then a young man came out of the woods and grinned at Klaus.

"Nik, you're home," Kol came forward and he and Henrick wrapped their older brother in a hug as he began to cry feeling restrained joy for once in a thousand years.

Back at the Kingdom:

"Wait? What do you mean you don't know who Elena is?" Damon asked, Jenna and Alaric again. He must have asked them the same question a hundred times that day. Now, he was pacing the length of his bedroom.

"I'm sorry, your majesty, but I have never heard that name before." Jenna told him like she was embarrassed that she did not know the answer to his question.

"Oh, come on," Damon said, sitting down on the edge of his bed. The only time he had not been questioning the pair was when he had had lunch with his mother. That was much easier since they didn't have that many memories together so that Damon could bring up and have her look at him like he was crazy the way Lord and Lady Huh were doing right now.

"Is she one of the ladies who will attend the ball tonight?" Jenna asked hopefully. "You seem to want to see her very much so I do wish she would appear to make your wish come true."

Damon rolled his eyes. "Yeah. Sure. Whatever. Jenna, do you mind giving me and Ric some guy time?" Jenna nodded and hurried out the door. Feeling relieved that he would only be stuck with one person who had no idea what the hell he was talking about, Damon buried his hands in his hair.

"You seem frustrated, Damon. Is it about Lady Elena? If she lives anywhere in the kingdom I shall send a messenger to find her and make sure that she attends the ball if that is your wish."

Looking up, Damon smirked. "You're extremely loyal, Ric. Thanks. But if she's here, she'll find me." Sighing, he stared at the ceiling. "So, how are things with you and Jenna? You two hooking up yet?"

Ric coughed in amazement. "Excuse me?"

"You know, are you doing the mattress mambo or whatever you people call it here in fairy nightmare land?" Damon quirked an eyebrow as his friend shifted from foot to foot.

"I'm not sure I know what you are implying, sir." Ric was frowning deeply and looked more stern than Damon had ever seen him before.

Rolling his eyes, Damon looked around his room. "What do people do for fun around here? Better yet, where do I go to get drunk around here?"

Ric shook his head. "WE do not drink here, sir."

"What?" Damon jumped to his feet. "No. Ric. Come on, buddy? I need a drink. Please."

Looking around him, like he believed that the walls could hear him, Ric lowered his voice. "I have heard of a place called a tavern but only the most dangerous people spend their time there and I do not believe that-"

Before Alaric could continue speaking Damon was already on his way out the door. "Come on, Ric." He called, not bothering to turn to see if his friend was following.

"Where are we going, Damon?" Ric asked, dreading the answer.

"Off to ye old tavern," Damon told him with a wide grin. "And no protesting. We'll be back in plenty of time for the stupid ball thing."

**Hello, my lovely readers. Since I can't update a lot of my Klaroline fics this week there is some Klaroline in this chapter so I hope that you enjoy. On with show…**

Chapter 4: Shiver My Timbers

Somewhere in the Forest:

Caroline was shivering badly at this point. She was tired and hungry and freakin' Klaus had disappeared and did she mention that she was hungry. Touching her grumbling stomach, Caroline was so sick of all this. She just wanted to go home. If Klaus ever came back she was going to kick his ass so hard. There was a sudden sound behind her and Caroline jumped, backward falling and twisting her ankle badly. "Ow," she whimpered.

Then there was another sound and Caroline felt afraid. 'What if it was Mikael?' "Klaus!" Caroline screamed at the top her lungs, getting up and beginning to run as fast she could. She was hit in the face with tree branches. Then she found herself tumbling down a hill. Opening her mouth, she felt it fill with dirt and leaves. Gagging, she ran into a large rock and that was the last thing Caroline was aware of before everything went black.

A man on a horse, who was delivering notices to the young ladies of the area had heard a woman screaming in fear in the forest. By the time he found her she was laying at the bottom of a hill and she had a head wound. Carefully, sliding down the hill he picked her up and carried her back up. Placing her carefully on his horse he took her back to the kingdom to be attended by the court doctor, Meredith Fell.

"Will she be alright?" Galen asked the doctor. The young woman looked like she had been badly hurt and was he worried that she would not recover.

"The cut was shallow," Meredith told him. "She was lucky you found her in time. Do you know if she has family here in the kingdom?"

Galen shook his head. "I have never come upon her in my travels."

"Well, maybe if she recovers she can go to the ball tonight." Meredith said with a slight shrug.

"Will you be attending the ball, Dr. Fell?" Galen asked hopefully.

Meredith didn't seem to notice his attitude. "No. I've got some research to do. We've got that disease that's invading the kingdom. Besides, I'm not really the type to get all dolled up." Pushing her glasses up on her nose, Meredith walked out the door.

Galen blew out a breath. Looking down at the blonde girl, he noticed her begin to stir. Sitting down beside her, he took her hand. "Hello, Miss. How are you feeling?"

Caroline tried to sit up but Galen restrained her. "Like my head hurts. Did I fall down?"

Galen nodded. "Yes, Miss, you did. You were out in the forest when I found you and you seemed to have hit your head."

"Oh," Caroline touched the bandage tentatively. "Ouch. I guess I'm clutzy."

"Do you know who you are or who your family is?" Galen asked Caroline.

Thinking about the question, Caroline came up with a blank. "No. I don't know who I am."

Neverland:

"Kol. Henrick." Klaus could not wrap his head around the fact that his dead brothers were staring back at him. "How are you here?"

Henrick laughed. "I've been here for a long time. I was just waiting for you and Bekah, Elijah and Kol. Kol came first. Now, I guess we wait. But's it's okay because there is plenty of company so I'm never lonely."

Klaus turned to stare at Kol. "What are you wearing?" He asked chuckling.

Kol looked offended. "I like these clothes."

"You're wearing tights," Klaus pointed out to his younger brother.

Kol just stared at him. "And?"

"Oh, never mind," Klaus shook his head. "I'm just so glad to see you again."

"Did you bring Bekah and Lijah with you, Nik?" Henrick asked, his eyes bright with hope and Klaus hated to tell him the truth.

"They really wanted to come with me but they were… umm… They wanted to get you a present before they came." Klaus kicked himself for the lie. He may never see his brothers again if he ever left.

"Well, I hope they show up soon." Kol told him before he started to head off. "I have to get back to the other lost children now."

"Wait!" Klaus called as Henrick began to leave, too. "Take me with you."

Kol grinned. "Come on then." He waved for his brother and then Klaus remembered something.

"I have to get Caroline." Klaus told his brothers.

"Why? She's not one of the lost children, Nik," Kol told him.

"What?" Klaus blinked at his brother. "But I left her behind."

Kol crossed his arms. "Sorry, Nik, only lost children may come to Neverland. Caroline still has her mother."

"So, what? You have to be an orphan to gain entrance. Isn't that a bit of a high price even for you, Kol?" Klaus challenged his brother, his eyes narrowing.

Kol shrugged, "You killed our parents. That's why we're lost children. So, come or don't the choice is yours." With that he disappeared into the forest.

Klaus could only blink at the spot where his brother had been. Then he saw Henrick. "I'll come with you, Nik." The boy told him brightly.

"Really?" Klaus asked hopefully. His brother took his hand and they began to run through the forest in search of the clearing where he had left Caroline. When they arrived, Klaus felt his jaw set in a rigid line as he noticed that Caroline was missing. 'How long had he been gone?' he wondered. 'Did her friends find her and she just went with them? That sounded like something she would do. Just go off and leave him behind. Maybe they were hoping he would be stuck here forever.'

Glowering at the scene before him, Klaus noticed that there was a trail like someone had moved in a hurry. Lots of broken twigs like someone had been running. Now, his thoughts turned in a different direction. 'What if Mikael had found her alone?' Taking off in the direction of the trail he smelled her scent in the air. 'Yes, it was Caroline. And she fell there. Got back up there. Good girl.' She did not go down without a fight and he hoped not at all.

Feeling Henrick behind him Klaus paused throwing a hand out at the top of hill. Jumping down the side of the hill, he found Caroline's blood on a rock. Klaus looked around spinning on his heel in a circle. "Car-o-line!" He bellowed. "Car-o-line." He kept calling her name until his brother climbed down to hold his brother who was on his knees once more.

"We'll find her, Nik." Henrick told him quietly and Klaus hoped his brother was right as he looked around once more to find nothing. Caroline had disappeared.

About Ten Yards Away from the Hill:

"Did you hear that?" Bonnie asked, listening for it again.

"What?" Stefan asked, feeling odd that the former witch had better hearing than he did.

"Someone was screaming someone's name." Bonnie said, listening for the call again. She shook her head. "Whoever it was they stopped."

"I'll fly ahead and see if I can find whoever it is," Lexi told them and flew off.

"Well, that was nice of her," Stefan said.

"Yeah, now the only creature who knows their way around has left. That's really helpful, Stef." Bonnie rolled her eyes and kept walking. "When was the last time you ate?"

"Don't know. It's been awhile though." Stefan replied, feeling his stomach grumble.

"Maybe we could take a rest and find something to eat." Bonnie suggested as they both stopped walking.

Suddenly there was noise from the woods and then Mikael appeared with his axe. Bonnie and Stefan looked at each other and then screamed. Grabbing each other's hands, they began to run as fast as they could into the woods and through the trees.

Yards away they found a dismembered version of Bambi and Thumper and screamed again. "I didn't do it." Stefan shouted, before they ran right past Klaus and Caroline's clearing, not realizing they had turned in a circle. They nearly ran back into Mikael screaming the whole time and then kept running until neither could breathe.

Suddenly they were flying through the air and hit the ground hard. "Ow," They both yelled.

"Stefan. Bonnie." Klaus exclaimed looking down at the two.

"Ouch," Bonnie yelped when Klaus hugged her.

"Ow," Stefan whined when Klaus hugged him too.

"Do you two know how relieved I am to see you?" Klaus told them. Before they could respond Klaus began to question them. "Have you seen Caroline? Is she alright? I left to get wood. When I came back she was gone and is apparently injured." He pointed at the blood on the rock.

"No," Bonnie shook her head. "You were with Caroline this whole time?"

Klaus glared at Bonnie. "That is not important, sweetheart, what is important is where in hell she is?"

"We don't know, Klaus." Stefan told him coming to stand in front of Bonnie. Klaus strode over and glared at Stefan.

"Well, then, mate, I would suggest you help me find her." Klaus snarled, his eyes glowing yellow.

"We'll help you. But it will be for Caroline's sake, not for yours." Bonnie snapped dusting herself off.

Smirking at the two, Klaus took a step back. "After you."

Back at the Little Cottage:

Elena was kicking straw about the room. "Freakin' straw. Turn to gold." She yelled, kicking it some more. "Lockwood. Mayor. Hand rubby, freaky guy." She yelled, jumping up and down in frustration. "Come on, we had deal."

The Mayor appeared. "You called, de- Elena."

"This spindle is not working." Elena pointed an accusatory finger at the defective tool.

"Well, let's see what we can do about that." The Mayor winked and Elena shuddered. The guy was seriously creepy. But she needed him to show her how to make the golden straw so she could go to the ball.

"You know what, forget it. I'll find another way to get to the stupid ball." Walking out the door and into the forest, Elena sat down on the log. She began to cry frustrated tears. Gulping, Elena felt like she had done something really stupid. She had signed a contract with the Mayor to give him her child. It wasn't like it mattered. She was never going to have the child anyway.

Crying bitterly, she closed her eyes. All she wanted was to be in Damon's arms again. "Are you okay, young lady?" a woman asked and Elena's eyes snapped open. Her jaw dropped as she gazed at Esther Mikaelson. If seeing Richard Lockwood was scary to Elena, seeing Esther was ten times worse. She got up to run when the woman appeared in front of her.

"What… what do you want?" Elena moaned as she backed away from the woman, who obviously was more than a woman.

"Don't be afraid, Elena. I'm your fairy godmother," Esther told her quietly, raising a wand and waving it with slight smile.

Elena began to laugh. "You? You're my Fairy Godmother?" She began to wipe her tears away. "You're ridiculous." Shaking her head, Elena began to walk away. Sure, Cinderella was a close second to her favorite childhood story and when she was sick she used to ask her mother to read it to her. Come to think of it, it was probably her favorite, after all.

Turning back to Esther slowly, Elena folded her arms. "Okay. So, what do you want me to do?"

Esther shook her head. "You don't have to anything, dear. That's all me." Grinning, Esther waved her wand. "Now, I hear that there is a ball that you should be off to and it's getting a bit late." Waving the wand lightly at Elena's dress it became a long ball gown and her hair was suddenly swept up above her head. Pulling up the skirt, she found her feet encased in surprisingly comfortable glass slippers.

"Awesome." Elena grinned. "Now, where's the coach." She giddily linked arms with Esther and they walked out to the road where there was a pumpkin that had not been there before. Waving her wand, the pumpkin became a coach and then footmen appeared. Elena was happy she not had noticed the mice. She hated mice.

"Now, go, dear, and have a good time. Just remember the time." Elena hugged Esther and then allowed a footman to help her into the coach. She couldn't wait to tell Bonnie and Caroline about this. She just hoped they were having an easier time.

At a Tavern:

Damon and Ric found the tavern easily enough and after Damon convinced Ric to have a beer they were now quite drunk. Looking around, Damon was laughing when Mason Lockwood plopped down next to him on a stool. "Hey there, Mason." Damon greeted him forgetting that Mason probably didn't know who he was.

Then Damon spat up some beer, when Katherine Pierce appeared at Mason's side. "Get me a beer, Mason," she demanded. Then she looked at Damon. "Hello, there. You look a bit out your kingdom, Princy boy." She smirked at him.

"The prince is here?" Isobel Flemming inquired, wrapping an arm around Katherine's shoulders. Soon Damon and Ric were surrounded by John Gilbert, Jules and that guy of hers Brody, Brady, whatever his name was and their little werewolf friends.

"I told you this was a bad idea." Ric whispered to Damon.

Damon just shrugged. He had been in much worse situations. He would just rip their hearts out and then get the hell out of here. Getting off the stool, he almost fell down. Katherine began to laugh. "Someone doesn't know his limit," she commented, making her cronies laugh.

"Yeah, coming from someone with no limits." Damon snarled at her, breathing beer breath into her face. She just stared at him with that smirk he wanted to smack off her face. Trying to move with his vamp speed again he only staggered.

'Oh, this is not a good thing at all. Not at all.' Damon thought as he stared at the angry pirates. Leaning closer to Ric Damon whispered. "On the count of three."

"What?" Ric replied.

Damon ignored him. "One. Two. THREE!" Grabbing Ric by a fist full of his jacket, Damon shot forward at good old fashioned human speed but he managed to shock a few of Katherine's lackeys. Now, they were dodging their way through the crowd in the tavern as angry pirates followed them. Damon grinned. Things had finally gotten interesting as he and Ric jumped onto the backs off two horses. They took off toward the palace.

Riding faster and faster Damon couldn't get over the fact that he could actually have an adventure in a fairy tale. Maybe there was hope that he would meet Elena at the ball tonight after all. He and Alaric were laughing as they arrived at the gates of the palace. "Home, sweet, home," He said.

When they dismounted, he walked into the palace and bounced up the stairs. Whistling as he made his way down the hall down to his room, he saw a familiar blonde head in one of the extra bedrooms. "Caroline?" Damon muttered. He came to stand in the doorway, watching the blonde, who was taking in her appearance in a long blue ball gown.

"Hey, Blondie. Nice dress." Damon walked further into the room and came to stand beside Caroline, who looked confused.

"Do I know you?" Caroline asked him and Damon's shoulders slumped.

'Of course she didn't know him, what else was new,' he thought.

"Do you like my dress?" Caroline twirled in front him. "They told me that I would be introduced to the prince tonight."

"I am the prince," Damon told her duly.

"Oh," Caroline curtsied low. "Your majesty, it's wonderful to meet you-"

Damon waved her greeting away. "Whatever, Blondie. I'll see you at the ball. I'll be the one in the pretentious suit. Hopefully, I'll be _very_ drunk." Walking out the door, he didn't hear Caroline's reply.

"It was nice to meet you, too, Prince Not So Charming." Caroline snapped before plopping down on her guest bed. She wondered if she had a prince of her own and if he would rescue her from this fancy prison.


	5. Chapter 5

**Hello, my lovely readers. I know that I wrote that I would update this story every month which was my intention when I began to post it but as most of us know real life tends to get in the way of the best of intentions. Therefore I hope this chapter is worth the very long wait.**

Chapter 5: Women in Glass Slippers Shouldn't Wield Swords

Standing in between Damon Salvatore and Klaus Mikaelson, Elena Gilbert held the sword in front of her. She may be human now but that didn't mean she couldn't fight back. And she would help her friends. "Stop!" She yelled at the pirates gaining their attention. When all the pirates drew their own swords, Elena gulped. Klaus and Damon just smirked at the pirates.

"You ready, mate?" Klaus asked Damon with his eyes on the pirates in front of him.

"It's just another day in our lives, right?" Damon chuckled as they moved forward and began to dodge as the pirates attempted to stab them. They may not have their old speed and strength. But that did not mean they couldn't fight. Damon grinned as he punched a pirate in the face.

Klaus pulled another to his feet and grabbed his sword from him, throwing it to Bonnie, who came to aid them along with Stefan. Grabbing the hilt of the sword, Bonnie nodded quickly at Klaus before running off to rescue an older couple from a particularly aggressive pirate. "Do your worst!" Klaus challenged the pirates before he charged at them, changing his visage to that of a wolf.

Elena was trying to not actually stab any of the pirates just as Katherine unsheathed her sword and came after her. "Of course," Elena muttered, dodging as Katherine attempted skewer her. Elena wondered where Caroline was.

Caroline was trying to hide from the action when a pirate grabbed her from behind. "Ah, you're a mighty fine lass." He whispered in her ear. "I think I'll take you back to the ship with me."

"Ew," Caroline grunted as she elbowed the man in the gut and then she kicked him in the shin. Whirling around, she grabbed her gown and ripped in up the side before she punched him on the chin and kneed him in the groin. Breathing hard, she felt great as she grabbed his sword.

Spinning around on her heel, she saw the Salvatore brothers back to back fighting the pirates as one. They were taking care of each other. The young brunette was fighting her look alike. But she was holding her own, too. Finding Klaus, she bit her lip, seeing him surrounded by pirates. Two of the pirates dragged him to his knees and were holding him down as another came forward a sword.

Caroline's eyes widened. They were going to behead him. Running as fast as she could, she elbowed people out of her way. The Pirate raised his sword over Klaus' head, who was glaring up at him murderously. Without thinking, Caroline swiftly plunged her sword through the man's heart and gasped as he dropped to the floor. "Oh."

Klaus instantly jumped to his feet as the other two pirates let go of him. He grabbed the two and slammed their heads together. Caroline could only stare at the bloodied sword in horror as Klaus came to her side. "Caroline, we need to go."

She allowed him to pull her along with him as the others continued their battle. Before she knew it they were running out the front doors of the palace and he took the sword, throwing it aside. When he found a horse, he picked Caroline up and sat her atop before hopping on behind her. Feeling her head become heavy from all the excitement, Caroline surrendered to the darkness as Klaus held her firmly to him.

As Caroline slept peacefully in his arms, Klaus wasn't sure what caused him to take a turn and head down a certain path through the woods. Arriving at a gate, he jumped down, and carried Caroline through the front gate, through the open doorway of the new palace. Carrying her upstairs, he laid her down on a bed. Walking back out of the room, he dug inside his jacket pocket and found a key.

Staring at the door and then the key, Klaus found himself slipping it into the lock and turning it. Hearing the lock click into place, Klaus felt a certain amount of peace as he jogged back down the stairs and to the front gate. He pulled it closed and as he walked away he didn't see it become overgrown with ivy. He didn't notice as the path behind him became covered in dead leaves and bramble as he moved to the front door. He locked it as well.

As he walked through the house he did not notice the yellowing of the curtains as he closed them. He did not see the dust appearing. The one thing he noticed as he came to stand before a mirror was that he needed a shave.

However, as he stood in front of the mirror his body began to change in shape and he slammed his fist into it. He did not need to see what the demon inside looked like. He already knew. This was not the face or the body that would win the love of Caroline. But this was his true face. The one he had hidden for so long.

Back at the Salvatore Palace:

"You fight like a girl," Katherine taunted.

Elena rolled her eyes. "Whatever," She snapped. "Do you ever get bored with the sound of you own voice."

Katherine sneered. "Never. Although I can't understand why anyone would want to hear yours." Shooting forward she attempted to stab Elena again.

"Just give up and go home already," Elena yelled. She was tired of this. All she wanted was to dance with Damon and get the hell out of here. Then she heard the clock begin to toll. "Oh, no," She cried.

"Something wrong? Princess." Katherine snarled taking advantage of Elena's split focus. She sliced Elena's shoulder with her sword, cutting one of the straps of Elena's gown off.

"You're going to pay for that," Elena shot forward with her own sword waiting for Katherine to dodge when she threw the sword into her other hand and hit the other woman in the head with the hilt, knocking her out. Satisfied with her work, Elena began to run through the crowd. She had to leave before the whole thing was ruined.

"Elena," Damon called, running after her to be blocked by more pirates. She felt one of her shoes come off and she didn't stop to retrieve it. Instead she jerked the remaining one off and ran with it in her hand. Weaving through the crowd, she barely made it to the safety of the coach. 'And away we go,' she thought glumly as the coach sped back toward the cottage.

"Please, let Damon find me again." Elena whispered to the darkness as she watched the trees fly past her.

Inside the Palace:

Damon was pissed. He had waited all day for a dance with his girl and that was ruined by these stupid pirates. He began to punch and kick wildly at them, feeling contented every time he heard a bone crack. "Get out of my party, you jackasses."

"That's not very G rated of you, brother." Stefan called with a grin.

"Shut up," Damon yelled at his brother, decking another pirate. At that moment the palace guards finally appeared and the remaining pirates fled. Glaring at their backs, Damon began to seethe. "What, are you scared of them because they have weapons? You are so lucky you're not in my world or you would see what scary really looks like."

"Where's Elena?" Bonnie asked as she jogged over. "Or Klaus and Caroline?" Stefan and Damon looked around.

"Shit," Damon snapped and throwing down the sword he picked up in case, there was more trouble. "The crazy hybrid must have used the chaos to grab Blondie."

Alaric came up to them. "Are you all alright?"

"Yeah, we're fine." Damon replied. "How 'bout you and Jenna?"

"Jenna's here?" Bonnie asked.

Damon nodded. "Yeah, she's around here somewhere."

"I sent her back to her room when the pirates arrived. I would not want my future wife to be murdered," Ric told them before he realized what he had said. "That is if your father gives us permission to marry."

Shaking his head, Damon grinned. "He will. I'll talk to him for you. Anyway, I need to go find Elena." Walking across the room, he picked up the glass slipper and rolled his eyes. "Yeah, great clue, Gilbert." Shaking his head, he began to stride toward the door.

"Damon, wait." Bonnie called. "You can't go after Elena yet."

"What?" Damon said, he turned to stare down at Bonnie, his eyebrows furrowing. "I don't care how the story goes. I'm not going to just sit around this palace waiting for her to just show up or to be _allowed_ to go get her." He turned around and began to walk away.

Bonnie grabbed his sleeve. "Damon. This is important to Elena. She wants to have a happily ever after."

Stopping, Damon just stood there staring at the doors. "I need her, Bonnie."

"I know. Okay. I know. But just give it a little time." Bonnie told him quietly as people began to exit the ball.

Damon hung his head. "Alright. What do you suggest we do about Klaus and Caroline?"

Bonnie inhaled deeply. "I think they have their own story to get through."

Turning to look down at the former witch, Damon shrugged. "What about you two? Do you have your own personal quests to go on?"

Stefan shrugged. "Kol told me I'm a lost boy. So, yeah, I guess I have some stuff to go back and figure out."

Bonnie hesitated. "I want to find my grandmother. If I can."

Damon nodded. "Good luck. I guess I'll see you two around. Be careful." He turned around to walk upstairs. "And if you're ever if trouble come to the palace."

Stefan and Bonnie walked out of the palace together to go in search of their own adventures. Stopping in the doorway, Stefan nodded at Bonnie. "Good luck." He told her.

Bonnie nodded. "You, too."

They began to walk in two separate directions. Getting ten feet away from each other, they both turned at the same time. "You know I-" They both began.

"Yeah," Bonnie began to laugh at the embarrased look on Stefan's face. "I was thinking the same thing." Taking his arm, they began to walk down the path wondering what new adventures awaited them.

"So, are we going to find your Grams or Kol first?" Stefan asked with a grin.

"Definitely Grams." Bonnie replied with a quick nod. "Frankly, I'm not sure I can look at Kol in those shorts for too long without try to swim away."

"Maybe you'll turn into a mermaid," Stefan joked as Bonnie swatted him.

"I do not want to be stuck with fins," Bonnie rolled her eyes at the thought.

"But you would be cute with those little seashell things," Stefan teased holding his hands in front of his chest.

Bonnie blushed and smacked him. "You're beginning to sound like Damon." She accused.

"What?" Stefan pressed his hand over his chest in mock shame. "Really?"

Bonnie smiled as she took Stefan's hand and they walked down their new path.

At the Little Cottage:

Elena stepped out of the coach and watched as it turned back into a pumpkin with a sigh. Turning her back, she walked inside the cottage and gasped. Inside waiting for her was a very pissed off Katherine. "Hello, there Elena. You know I just came over to the Salvatore's to steal some stuff from the attic to sell it on E-Bay for a plane ticket to Cabo when the funniest thing happened and I got stuck in this stupid place."

"Weren't you just at the palace?" Elena asked, confused.

"Yeah, pirates are lame," Katherine shrugged. "You got food in here somewhere?"

Elena shook her head. "You got kicked out by the pirates, didn't you?" She began to laugh when Katherine poked her in her wounded shoulder.

"Ow," Elena rubbed her shoulder.

"Let's go." Katherine snapped.

"Huh," Elena replied.

"We need food," Katherine snapped.

"And you plan on doing what about that?" Elena snapped at Katherine.

"We're going to get food. Duh! Did you fall on your head when you got dumped into this world?" Katherine didn't wait for a response as she walked out the door and onto the path.

When they walked outside Elena's and Katherine's jaws dropped as they saw Elijah and Rebekah Mikaelson turning around staring at things around them.

"Where in the bloody hell are we?" Rebekah growled before she spotted the dopplegangers. "Oh, great. We're in hell."

**Okay, so I have one more chapter written for next month that I will try to post around the beginning of September. Then I will try to write a new chapter and post it on TVD's premiere day, Oct. 6, 2014. **

**Answers to reviews: **

**Alexis2106: Thank you. I try to be a genius. Sometimes it seems like my version of genius is synomous with wacky. **

**Jessinicole: Yes, poor Caroline.**

**Rose: In this story I think that Klaus and Caroline will figure things out eventually. That's kind of why they're in this alternate universe to figure out their crap and hopefully to fall in love. **

**JuseaPeterson: Thank you. In some ways this was one of the most difficult of worlds to create due to fairy tales being very vague in my mind since I haven't read one since I quite young. I hope you enjoy this chapter and the rest of the story. **

**Forbesfabulous: I hope you enjoyed the Klaroline. **

** .writer: Thank you. Every choice for a TVD character to become one of the fairy tale characters is very intentional but also hard to remember sometimes. ;)**

**Peace,**

	6. Chapter 6

**Hello, my lovely readers. This chapter is Klarocentric. For those who miss Stefan and Bonnie they will be the focus of the next chapter and then back to Delena. Happy TVD Thursday is back on. **** On with the show…**

Chapter 7: Running Out of Time

Standing in the kitchen Klaus felt every last movement as he bones ached. He needed to hire someone to help out with things around here. He would not be able to get around his new home as easily soon. Picking up the tray he groaned as he carried it up the stairs. Wondering how much it would cost to get an elevator installed inside the place, he pulled out the key to the door and opened it nervously. When the door swung open, Caroline was standing by the window with her arms, wrapped around herself. "Your breakfast, Miss." Klaus said quietly, he kept his head down with his eyes on the girl.

"Thank you," Caroline replied. She inclined her head to the side to give him a sad smile before she turned back to the window. "Do you think he'll come back today?" she asked Klaus, who sighed inwardly.

Shaking his head, Klaus responded to her question. "No. I do not believe he will. I'm sure he'll be back for you one day soon."

Caroline nodded, staring out the window dully. She brushed a tear away and Klaus felt his heart breaking with the lie he had told her when she woke up.

One month ago:

Caroline had wondered where Klaus was when she woke up to find herself locked inside this room. The man who was the caretaker of the house had told her that it was for her own good because there was a beast in the house who might hurt her. Caroline had not been convinced by this argument. And she knew she could have just forced the old man to allow her her freedom. But for some reason she did not want to be free.

Present:

Caroline wanted Klaus to come back. She had been waiting at the window every day for him to appear on a horse and tell her it was time to go home. Every day she began to remember things about her old life. She was sure she had recovered almost all of her memories.

"Miss, you need to eat," The old man told her. "Master Niklaus would want you to be healthy."

Sighing, Caroline got up and began to chew on a piece of fruit. "I'd like to go for a walk around the grounds today." She told the man, who looked up at her and she was startled to see his eyes which looked so familiar. Before she could get a good look, he put his head down.

"As you wish, M'am." Waiting for Caroline to gather a wrap, Klaus followed her downstairs but stayed inside as she walked around in the chilly air. She began to dance around and kick at the snow in glee and Klaus found himself smiling. Then his heart gave a pang and he fell to his knees gasping in pain.

"Caroline!" He moaned. "Caroline, I am so sorry." Sitting back on the floor, his chest continued to constrict and he sucked in a pained breath. This was it. He was going to die. "I love you." He moaned to the empty air.

Just as he was sure he was going to die, the door opened and Caroline came inside the house. "It's so wonderful outside-" When she saw him, she dropped to her knees. "Oh, my God. What can I do?"

"There's nothing you can do, love." Klaus whispered softly, his breathing coming out shallowly.

Caroline shook her head. "There has to be something." She was beginning to panic. This man had been her constant companion for the past month. He had been the only person she had to talk to. Now, he was sick and she felt like there was nothing she could do for him.

"Stay with me until it's over, Caroline," the man said taking her hand and she squeezed it tightly in her own. "Don't leave me, please." She begged as her eyes filled with tears. "Don't leave.' She buried her face in his chest. "Don't ever leave me."

"Caroline, I love you." The man gasped out. "In over a thousand years I never thought it was possible. I said love is a … a …" Klaus struggled to finish.

Lifting her head, Caroline looked at him, really looked at him. "It's not, Klaus." Caroline told him as she stared into his eyes. Leaning over slowly Caroline pressed her lips against his gently.

Klaus felt his heart begin to beat so quickly he thought it would burst and then slowed down. Sighing, he brought a hand up to place on the back of Caroline's head and curled the other around her back pulling her closer.

Caroline sighed as she pressed a hand into Klaus' curly hair. She felt his beard begin to retract to stubble and his skin change in texture. She could feel his strength returning slowly as he pulled her closer before he picked her up off the floor never breaking the kiss.

Klaus walked quickly up the stairs leading to Caroline's bedroom and he slid her wrap to the floor. Unzipping her dress he slid it off of her shoulders before pulling back. Caroline grinned up at him as she pulled his jacket off and unbuttoned his shirt. Unzipping his pants Caroline continued to stare into Klaus' eyes as he picked her up. She wrapped her arms around his neck and began to kiss him again. They didn't speak as she gave into him.

When they were done she laid on top him. "I love you, Klaus," she told him, staring him in the eye with a slight smile.

"I know, love. You proved that five times. I'll be surprised if either of us can walk straight for the next week." Klaus took her fingers and began to kiss each one.

"So, is this where we live happily ever after?" Caroline asked, sliding her mouth over his chest and up his neck.

"I would like to think so but there is always something or someone who will interfere." Pressing a kiss to her forehead, he forced himself to sit up. "We need to eat."

Caroline wrapped her arms and legs around him from behind and began to kiss his shoulder blade. "I'm not that hungry yet."

Klaus smirked before he spun around and pinned her down. Running his hands down her legs, he pulled her legs firmly around his waist. "Alright then, love, your wish is my command."

Caroline was quite happy as Klaus began to fulfill her wish. She didn't notice that there were figures approaching the door to the house, the open door to the house, that is, as Klaus moved at a steady rhythm and Caroline sighed in contentment. It was only when someone coughed outside the door that Caroline became aware of not being under the sheets and just how much someone standing in the doorway would be able to see.

"Hi, there Elijah." She greeted the eldest Original, who was staring at the floor in amusement.

"I was coming to see if anyone might know if my brother were here but I can clearly see how well you two have been getting along. I will see you downstairs." Elijah began to walk away when Rebekah walked into the room.

"Ha. Hello, Caroline. Nik, glad to see you are having a good time. And I hope you are using protection. We don't need another hybrid baby. No offence to my niece," Rebekah smirked before she sauntered out of the room.

"Your what?" Caroline yelled, shoving Klaus away from her and jerking a sheet around her body. "Why did she just imply you have a kid, Klaus?"

Klaus groaned. "Caroline, wait. I need to explain."

Caroline shook her head vigorously. "No. You're not talking yourself out of this one. And, thank you stupid fairy tale land." She shouted. "We're human and we are not being safe. Oh, my God. Seriously. But apparently you do not make a habit of this kind of thing." Shaking in fury, Caroline glared at the hybrid. "Get out of my room."

"Caroline, it was just one time. "Hayley does not mean anything to me. Besides she is with Elijah." Klaus told Caroline.

"You slept with Hayley. Traitorous Hayley, who backstabs everyone she meets, Hayley? Why didn't you just get Katherine pregnant too? You were supposed to be in love with me." Caroline began to shove Klaus toward the door. "You are just such a … such a … male." Shoving him into the hallway naked she slammed the door in his face.

"Can I at least have my pants?" Klaus called.

"NO!" Caroline yelled. "Asshole." She could not believe that Klaus had not told her the truth. Had she not made it quite clear to him that she valued honesty above most traits? What was wrong with him? Did he think that she would just over look all of his flaws just because she had fallen in love with him? It was bad enough that he was a serial killing sociopath but that he lied to her about this. It felt like a betrayal. Even if she could forgive him for who he was with because, after all, she had been with him and he had nearly killed her and like all of her friends, but why would he keep this secret? Then it dawned on her.

Ripping the door open, Caroline glared at Klaus and began to stab at him with an outstretched index finger. "You don't trust me! You didn't tell me about the baby because you thought I would blab the news to everyone in the world and then all of the people that you have done horrible things to would come after your child! Right?" Caroline searched Klaus' face and when his walls came up she knew she was correct. "Damn it, Klaus. Damn you! You think that I would put an unborn child at risk? Because, what? Because you think that I'm that stupid?" Brushing past Klaus, Caroline headed for the stairs.

Grabbing Caroline, by the wrist, Klaus spun her around to look at him. "Caroline, this was not about you."

"The hell it's not!" Caroline yelled back, trying to break away from him.

"No, it's about the safety of this child. If it is a child. I have no idea what it my child is yet. No one matter what powers she turns out to have then I have to make sure that no one knows about her. Not even you, love. I did not want to keep this from you. If not for the part about your hating the mother and the danger that I would be putting you in, then I would have happily told you ages ago. You told me that you wanted to see me as more of a man that a monster. That I was capable of being saved. Think, Caroline, having a child is a human experience. If I was a father it would bring something out of me that I thought was dead and impossible to retrieve. Think of when you came to New Orleans with me. It would be our chance to be a family. All of us. It would be your chance to watch a child grow as you shared in the care of it. A child does not have to be yours for you to love it wholeheartedly."

"How would you know?" Caroline snapped.

"Because I have a son that I raised, Marcellus. He's not the son of my body but he is the son of my heart," Klaus said and Caroline growled.

"Great, something else you kept from me." Yanking her arm free, Caroline ran down the stairs and out into the star filled night. She began to run as Klaus yelled after her. Dodging into the trees, Caroline ran faster when she felt her body begin to work against her. Looking up at the full moon, Caroline cried out. "Seriously?!" as her bones began to crack and she screamed and then began to howl. When she looked up, she saw Klaus who looked shocked and then she emitted a low growl before the former hybrid turned tail and ran with Caroline in wolf form hot on his heels.

**I will hopefully see you next month with a new chapter. **

**Thank you everyone who has faved, followed, read and/or reviewed this story. And thank you to everyone who has faved and/or followed me as an author. **

**Jessinicole: Thank you. **

**Doppleganger Princess: Thank you. **

**Chibichibi98: Klaus and Caroline chapters kind of go up and down. But don't worry they'll get a happy ending since Klaus is not a villain in this piece. He just doesn't know that yet. As for Hayley and Elijah's choice for Klaus to have limited contact with Hope, there is a reason that will be explained later on in the story. And if I forget, remind me. **

**Chibichibi98: I think that you're right and that I meant to write another chapter that kind of got lost in the mix somewhere. Oops…**

**Rose: Thank you. I just wanted to write something different and so many of my stories just stick in my head and I have to write them or they'll never go away. **

**JuseaPeterson: Klaus did become a beast of sorts. It's fun to have Damon remember who he is while Alaric is clueless because he's dead and this is kind of like The Other Side: the Fairy Tale Version. Thank you for saying that I seem to know what I'm doing. Kat, Lijah and Bekah will be fun additions as the story continues. And, as always, I hope that you enjoyed the new chapter. **

**Peace, **

**Jessica **


	7. Chapter 7

**Hello, my lovely readers. Sorry about the long wait. I'm trying to get caught up with my older fics. On with the show…**

Chapter 7: Fairy Tale Crashers

Bonnie and Stefan had gotten lost in the woods. Again. On their way away from the castle they had been chased by a pack of angry dwarves, because they did not know who Snow White was, threatened to be turned into frogs by a witch and come to find themselves in the thickest, darkest part of the woods.

"It's cold," Bonnie said, shivering.

"I'm hungry," Stefan said.

"We're lost," Bonnie said.

"I hate the dark," Stefan said.

"I want to go home," Bonnie moaned before coming to stop in front of a little cottage. "Oh, shit!"

"Bonnie, language," Stefan admonished with a smile.

Bonnie scoffed. "You know what that is?" she asked, pointing ahead of them.

"A house?" Stefan replied, squinting at it before he made out what it was made of. "Cool. It's made of candy. Let's go get some."

Sighing, Bonnie trudged after Stefan who was trying to break off a piece of ginger bread. "Stefan, you can't eat that!" she reminded the former vampire.

"Why not?" Stefan demanded, moving the piece of ginger bread toward his mouth. He was so hungry, at that moment, he would have gone back into the woods and fried up Thumper. "I'm _so_ hungry, Bon. It's just a _tiny_ piece."

"Stefan, this is the house of the wicked witch who _ate_ Hansel and Gretel," Bonnie snapped.

Stefan glanced from the ginger bread to the house and then to Bonnie who glared back at him. "She's old. We can take her," he told Bonnie before taking a bite. "Oh, that is _so_ good," he moaned. "Come on, Bonnie. Live a little and taste this goodness."

"You sound like Damon," Bonnie muttered.

"So?" Stefan continued to eat while Bonnie kept watch. "See. I ate that piece and nothing bad happened. The witch didn't come out to try to kill us. We're good. Now, grab some food for the road."

Bonnie shifted from foot to foot. This did not seem like the best of ideas but she had to admit that she was awfully hungry. "Fine," she grunted before ripping off a piece of ginger bread and waving it at Stefan. "Happy now?" she questioned him when a voice called from the doorway.

"I see I have guests. It's been so _long_ since I've had anyone come and eat with me and the two of you look like you're quite hungry. Come inside and I'll feed you, children!" the woman called with a wide smile.

"Yeah. We would, but we've got some things to do first. Rain check?" Bonnie called to the woman who took a step outside so they could see her long, black hooded robe better. Reaching for Stefan's hand, Bonnie started to run.

"Holy shit!" Stefan yelled as the trees moved closer.

"Come back here!" the witch roared. "You can't just take from me without giving back. Get back here, _Silas_, I'm not done with you!"

"She knows Silas?" Stefan cried, stopping for a second. "Maybe she knows how to kill him."

"No. _No_, Stefan!" Bonnie cried, grabbing Stefan's arm and holding on to him, pressing her heels into the dirt. "You _can't_ go back. She'll eat you!"

"She didn't seem like a cannibal," Stefan protested. "Besides, she's _right_, we really should find a way to pay her back." He started to move back toward the cottage when Lexi appeared and hit him in the face with her wand, knocking him to the ground. "Ouch, Lex, what the hell?"

"Bonnie's right, Stefan. She's _going_ to eat you. Now, stop with the do-gooder crap and get back to the Lost Boy's Camp. They're trying to fight off Captain Hook and don't have enough help," Lexi ordered, smacking Stefan in the head again for emphasis.

"Okay. Okay! _Stop_ hitting me, would you, _please_?" Stefan rubbed the injured areas. "Who knew fairy wands hurt that bad?"

Bonnie smiled as she walked ahead of Stefan and Lexi. She wanted to find her Grams but it wasn't worth getting eaten by some insane witch in a cottage made of sugar. She would find her Grams later. Hopefully. "I wonder what Hook looks like," she called back to Stefan.

"Could be anyone," Stefan surmised, coming to walk beside Bonnie.

"He looks a _lot_ like you, actually, only he has a hook," Lexi told Stefan who rolled his eyes.

"Of course he, does," Stefan groaned. "So Silas is here, too. Makes sense in a twisted way. I wonder who else is going to turn out to be here."

Stefan's questions would soon be answered when they arrived at the site of the fight. Kol was battling with Silas and it looked like he was losing. "Ah, look, it's time for your lady love to see the last of you, Kol. Any last words?" Silas asked Kol, shoving the Mikaelson brother to the side of a giant ship with the business end of a sword.

"I do not love any ladies. Or gentleman, for that matter," Kol denied the claim before kicking Silas between the legs and taking his sword from him.

"Oh, _really_?" Silas cried, removing a pistol and then pointing it at Lexi. "Then I'll just have to make do with your little, flying friend." A shot was fired and Kol screamed as Lexi dropped to the ground.

"Lexi!" Stefan cried when Lexi's wings began to flutter, violently, and she let out a moan while blood spread through the ground. "Lexi, _no_. Not again!" Stefan cried, dropping to his knees and gathering his friend into his arms while she smiled up at him.

"It's okay. Stefan, fight the good fight for me," Lexi whispered, her skin turning pale as she pulled out a bag. "Here. Bonnie, you'll know what to do with this when you need it. Good-bye."

Stefan began to cry when Lexi suddenly disappeared in a cloud of dust and he was left holding empty air. "Where did she go?" he asked Bonnie who knelt down and hugged him. "Where did she _go_?" he cried again.

"She's _dead_, you fool. Like you're going to be, if you don't get to your feet and fight back," Finn snapped, throwing Stefan a sword.

"Where's _mine_?" Bonnie yelled at Finn who shrugged and ran off.

"Sexists!" Bonnie yelled when Silas pointed his gun at her. "Oh, no, you don't!" she yelled, dodging behind a tree.

"Here." Henrick offered Bonnie a sling shot and a sack full of pebbles. "They'll annoy him more than kill him, but that's what Kol's for. It's _his_ story. He has to stop Silas!" The pride on Henrick's face when he detailed the future of his brother's exploits made Bonnie smile. She had to admit she had always been curious about the youngest Mikaelson child.

"Thanks," Bonnie replied.

"You're welcome." Henrick grinned before turning to add his efforts to the fight.

Turning around, Bonnie saw Stefan boarding the ship with his borrowed sword. "Cover me!" she cried to Henrick before running after Stefan who was in hero mode or let-me-try-to-get-myself-killed-vengeance mode.

"Stefan!" Bonnie called but Stefan was already running up the plank and knocking pirates out of the way like bowling balls. "Stefan!" she tried again, when she felt someone grab her by the waist.

"Ah. What a pretty, little lassie you are." She felt a finger run down the side of her cheek and she cringed with disgust.

"I _hate_ pirates," Bonnie snarled through gritted teeth before she slammed her foot down on one of the pirate's feet. She felt happy when he let out a groan. Freeing herself, Bonnie grabbed a piece of wood, to her left, and knocked the pirate off the ship, where he screamed and thrashed about. "Agh! Help me! I can't swim!"

"Tell it to Ariel," Bonnie shouted back at him before turning to find that Stefan had found Silas and Kol.

"Get out of the way! He's mine!" Kol yelled at Stefan who wasn't listening to him. "Go back to your own plot!"

"I can't! He killed my best friend!" Stefan yelled back.

"Lexi was _my_ best friend!" Kol thundered.

Bonnie rolled her eyes. Why did _everything_ have to be a competition? She wondered with a grimace while walking toward them.

"Bonnie bloody Bennett!" a voice called from behind her and Bonnie was momentarily distracted.

"_Rebekah_?" Bonnie cried, turning to face the angry blonde. "What are _you_ doing here?"

"I've been asking myself that ever since I walked into the bloody Salvatore's attic, picked up a copy of _Alice_ _in_ _Wonderland_ and found myself in this," she waved around her, "place."

"But why are you here? As on this ship?" Bonnie wondered if Rebekah was supposed to be a friend or foe in this part of their story.

"Oh. That's easy enough. My rotten brother, Elijah, not Nik, for once, got into this never ending argument with the dopplegänger, Katherine, not the other one, and I could not take it anymore. Suffice it to say, I was walking around the wood, and somehow came across this ship. Silly me, I thought they could take me back to Mystic Falls," Rebekah shook her head with an air of boredom when her eyes narrowed. "Is that Kol fighting with Stefan?"

"No, that is Kol fighting with _Silas_," Bonnie told her.

"Oh. So we really are in hell," Rebekah nodded as if that made sense. "Right, then."

"I will send you both off the plank!" Silas threatened Kol and Stefan, shooting at them.

"I think not," Kol said. Moving forward, he plunged his sword into Silas' arm, sending the pirate stumbling backwards.

"Not again!" Silas roared when Kol shoved him against the side of the ship.

"Good-bye, Silas!" Kol cried before shoving his enemy over the side. "Say hello to Croc for me!"

Rebekah crossed her arms when Kol and Stefan headed toward them. Kol was smiling when he saw Rebekah. "Sister, how good of you to make it," he called to Rebekah who rolled her eyes at him.

"I wish I could say the same," Rebekah snapped at him.

"Let's get off this boat. There shall be a feast tonight to celebrate our victory," Kol cheered and the Lost Boys and Girls cheered from the shore.

**On the Shore Side: **

"I've never eaten that much fish in my _entire_ life," Bonnie moaned, lying on her back. The Lost Boys and Girls really knew how to celebrate as she, Stefan and Rebekah had learned in the last three hours.

"I'm going to vomit," Rebekah moaned, holding her stomach.

"Maybe you should have laid off of Yee Old Ale," Stefan commented when the blonde glared up at him.

"Mind _your_ own bloody business," Rebekah spat at her ex who shrugged and continued to chew on a piece of swordfish on a stick.

"_Help_! Help me, _somebody_!" a voice cried.

Bonnie blinked into the darkness of the night. Their campfire was not close enough to wherever the voice was calling from so she couldn't make out who was calling to them. "Where are you?" she shouted back to the voice.

"In the water! Help me!" the voice called again.

"Surely not!" Rebekah muttered to herself, getting to her feet and swaying unsteadily.

"Hey there," Stefan cried. Getting to his feet, he caught Rebekah by the waist, holding her in place. "Move slowly."

"Help!" the voice cried again. "Please!"

"We're coming!" Rebekah shouted back.

"_Rebekah_?" the voice yelled.

"We're coming," Rebekah muttered as she led the way toward the voice.

The three of them made their way forward, Stefan holding Rebekah up with one arm, and holding hands with Bonnie with the other, so none of them would lose of their way toward the waves. "Help me!" the voice called to them.

"We're _coming_!" Rebekah reassured the voice.

When the sounds of splashing made their way to their ears, Rebekah was the first into the water. "Be careful," Stefan warned her but she didn't reply.

"Bloody hell. You're naked!" Rebekah gasped.

"Duh! Did ya notice the tail, too?" the voice asked.

"Tail?" Stefan inquired.

"Yes. I have tail now," the voice replied in an irritable tone.

Rebekah let out a laugh. "You used to have one. Just not like this. Oh, Hayley, you're a mermaid. And me without my camera." The sound of Rebekah falling into the water with a splash and emitting another laugh sounded in the dark.

"Can I get a shirt? _Please_?" Hayley demanded and then she snapped. "Hey! Watch the seashells!"

"Sorry. It's dark out here!" Stefan protested.

"Yeah. I think we've all heard that one before," Bonnie said and all of the women began to laugh while Stefan continued to apologize for violating people's personal regions.

"Now you've got your hand on my tail!" Hayley cried.

"No, that's _me_!" Rebekah retorted.

"_Who_ did you think I was talking to?" Hayley snapped.

Bonnie shook her head. It looked like they were never leaving but everyone they had ever met was coming in.
