The last memory before her death as she lay on the cold hardwood floor was that of the first dance they had attended as a newlywed couple, she remembered how his breath had been a constant warmth on the base of her neck. She stood in his arms, overflowing of champagne could be heard as her eyes closed in relaxation. Nik leading her across the dance floor with a firm hand on her hip, the scent of her husband overwhelming all senses just as it was the moment she realised death was facing her again.

Her true loves name on her lips as she gasped her last breath, her entire body convulsing before becoming still.

The more time Caroline spent in his presence the more she felt at ease with recent events, waking up with only a small collection of facts. At his words she replied, "It seems then that you are someone I have known for a long time. That you and your siblings are a part of my life in a bigger way then you are all letting on." Caroline reached upwards before stopping herself and tucking a stray strand of hair behind her ear, a bad habit she seemed to keep displaying.

"I would go anywhere with you, with you I know that I am safe, Nik." Caroline let out a gasp at using his name shortened, when they had first been introduced Elijah said that his name was Niklaus. Out lo ud she repeated his name. At that moment his hand slipped from her waist and she suddenly felt herself becoming upset at the loss of contact.

Smirking with him for a second Caroline laughed. "I should not have done that."
