Finally another update for you guys. Two more chapters to go ^_&

It was as if God had adjusted the colors of the world in the night, like it was as easy as twisting one of those old plastic dials on a TV set. Everything was brighter than it should be; the trees were not just green but radiant virescent hues that burned themselves in Caroline's sleepy retinas.

The houses were as gay as if they'd been repainted by moonlight and now stood vibrant in the golden rays that fell unfettered though the clear sky. The road that should be grey was a sleek river of black with perfect paint lines and the street-lamps were blue.

But they had never been blue, not ever. Everything was so right it was wrong, wrong. The front yards that had been disheveled with the decrepitude of late winter just yesterday were a riot of colorful blooms.

Caroline turned back to look at her apartment, the curtain twitched! Someone was in there! She hurried to the front door only to find it locked. She slapped the wood. A face appeared at the window.... her face.... but brighter...

"So, strange!" Caroline exclaimed, looking at herself in the mirror.

"I never had this kind of dream before"

^.^ ^.^ ^.^

Klaus was going to his company. He wanted to talk with his father, but when he had returned he was nowhere to be found. Esther, his mother told him that his father was overseas for work.

"Enter to know your future" an old woman was saying to every passer-by.

"What rubbish!" Klaus shook his head.

The old woman came near him, and hold his hand and exclaimed

"You'll lose her. You'll never change. Your father was right about you, you're a bastard. You bring only pain to people close to you"

"You'll lose her. She will never forgive you" the woman repeated.

Klaus pushed her away, and took his handkerchief to clean his hand

"Filthy hands" he said in disgust.

"I don't have time to lose with this idiocy"

"You'll lose her, huh?" Klaus mocked.

*.* *.* *.*

"Hey Mum!" Caroline said with her cheerful voice as usual over the phone.

"Oh honey! I miss you so much. How are you" Liz, her mother spoke.

"Everything is fine. New York was just as you said a lively town"

"Don't forget about Mystic Falls, while staying there"

 "Of course, mum! How would I forget the town I was born" Caroline muttered?

"You're right!"

"So, who's the Klaus guy?" her mother asked out of curiosity.

"Klaus?" Caroline questioned.

She wondered how her mother knew about Klaus.

"Well your fiancée" her mother said.

"Oh, come on Sheriff Forbes, we just started dating just about a month ago," she mumbled.

"Anyways how did you learn about Klaus?" Caroline asked.

"Umm...." Her mother mumbled.

"Damon came over a few weeks ago, and we were talking about you" Liz said.

"Since when you and Damon are cozy-cozy" Caroline chuckled.

"Honey, I was the first person to hold Damon when he was born" Liz said proud of herself.

"Damon came to Mystic Falls?" Caroline asked.

"Yea.... he did not stay that much. Like I say just for a few weeks"

"I think he told me that he was going to spend some days in Seville" Liz said.

"What about Stefan?" Caroline questioned.

"He is currently in Philippines"

"Anyways tell me more about that Klaus" Liz asked.

"Um.... well he has a passion for art and jazz" Caroline said.

"What about his work?" Liz asked.

"He's the CEO of the Mikaelson Company"

"Oh.... I've heard that most CEOS have arrogant attitude" Liz said.

"He's no more like that" Caroline said.

"He was?" Liz asked in disbelief.

"Mum! That was in the past. The present in what matters the most"

"Ok, I won't judge. You know how a mother is" Liz chuckled.

"Mom I had a weird dream" Caroline said.

"Everything was brighter than usual. Everything was simply perfect"

"And what else did you see?"

"I saw myself.... but brighter" she replied anxiously.

"I've heard this before" her mother mumbled.

"Really? Where, mum?" she urged.

"From your grandmother, exactly"

"But honey, you know it's just a belief. I don't think your dream has something to do with it"

"What do you mean a belief? Please tell me mum" Caroline begged.

"The Forbes women have always carried misfortune. They never have known peace, love" her mother explained.

"But that's rubbish" she exclaimed.

"That's why.... I told you it's a belief. We don't believe in it anymore" Liz tried to appease her daughter.

"But why would grandmother say something like that?" she inquired.

"I don't really know. You know how your grandma was. The older ones always like to exaggerate on petty little things" she lied.

She just did not want her to find the truth. It was better that, she thought.

After what had happened with Tyler, she didn't want to see her only daughter suffer like she had suffered with her father.

She did not trust that Klaus Mikaelson, but from what Damon told her. It seemed that he truly loves Caroline. Liz just hoped that his love for her was pure and honest.

"Yeah you are right. Grandma was a drama queen in my memories" Caroline chuckled.

"Okay mum, I need to go. I'm meeting up with Kat" Caroline said.

"Okay honey, Take care of yourself"

"You too, love you"

"Love you too"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Seriously, misfortune?" Caroline chuckled.

"What's that new thing you invented, grandma?"

"I don't have time for this kind of thing"

*After thirty minutes*

"Caroline! Good to see you" Rebekah hugged her friend.

"How have you been doing?" Caroline asked Bekah.

Rebekah asked her to call her that, since they have been very good friends while Caroline asked her to call her Care.

"I'm doing great. How are you and my brother?" Rebekah smirked.

"We're both fine, thanks for asking"

"Let's go upstairs. Kat and Bonnie are waiting"

"Kat wanted to tell us something" Rebekah said.

"I wonder what is it"

**********

"Hey there!" Katherine came to hug Caroline.

"Miss is having all the time with Klaus, and she is forgetting about us" Katherine said.

"Don't be that jealous Katherine" Bonnie chuckled.

"Sorry Kat! It's just Klaus and I have been really busy, and since we got one day, we decided to enjoy ourselves" Caroline apologized.

"I know. I'm just happy you have found your one" Katherine smiled.

"Anyways what's with the news you wanted to tell us so much" Rebekah said, her hands on her hips.

"Yeah! We are growing quite impatient waiting" Bonnie muttered.

"Oh, about that?" Katherine chuckled.

"Elijah and I are getting married"

"He proposed me last night" she shouted, full of happiness.

"Oh, my god really?" both the three said in unison.

"Ta-daa" Katherine showed them her diamond ring.

"I'm very happy for you" Caroline cried hugging her best friend.

They were truly happy for her, they saw that coming.

"You're going to give us all the details" Rebekah smirked.

***************

"Our noble brother has made his move, as it seems" Kol smirked.

"Sure, it is. Tell us brother, how did you make your move without consulting me" Klaus smirked.

"I remind you, Niklaus, Kol that I can make my own decisions" Elijah said sternly.

"So, Miss little Bitch is going to be my sister-in law" Kol laughed dryly.

"I hope brother, you would not be calling my wife that name when we will be getting married" Elijah said calmly.

"Is that a threat for our dear brother Kol?" Klaus chuckled.

"Who knows?" Elijah smile turned into a little grin.

'I wonder how sexy he looks when he smirks'

"I'm going to get some drinks" Klaus said.

"So, what are you going to take, sir?"

"I advised you to take some bourbon" a brunette woman came closer to Klaus.

"Oh, thank you" Klaus fake smiled at her.

"Oh my, where are you going that early" the brunette pulled him closer.

The woman was looking in her mid-twenties. She was a rather attractive woman.

"Entertain me" she winked at him.

She came closer to him, and sat on his lap.

"You smell British" she smirked.

"I wonder what's like to kiss a British guy" before Klaus could do something, she put her lips on his.

He would be lying if he says she was not a good kisser.

"I'm Betty" she licked her lips.

"Klaus grabbed her neck and pulled her closer to him, she could feel his breath on her face.

"Betty quite a name you have there, love" he said in a seductive tone.

"If I had pig I would name it Betty. But you see, love I hate pigs" he said, his tone calm, dangerous.

"And I'm into blonde women" Klaus smirked looking at her offended face.

"Thanks for the bourbon, Betty-the pig" he raised his hand, mocking her.

"What had you take so much time?" Kol asked.

"I ran across a pig" he smirked, while Elijah looked at him in disbelief.

"Do tell me every detail" Kol smirked, since he and Klaus were both familiar with pigs.

'I wonder if Mikaelson could ever change'

******************

"Tell us how it happens" Bonnie smiled.

"Happens what?" Katherine questioned.

 "Your marriage proposal" both Rebekah and Caroline replied.

"Okay, here we go!"

**Flashbacks**

Katherine watched the sea, lost in the rhythmic percussion of waves on sand. Her eyes were steady to the horizon, face aglow with the last orange rays before twilight beckons the stars.

Her lips bear the semblance of a smile, just enough to show that she was enjoying her thoughts, whatever they may be.

Elijah moved closer so that she felt her presence, yet stays quiet, allowing her to stay lost in the moment a while longer.

"Katerina" Elijah called.

"umm" she looked at him over her shoulder.

Her eyes went wide when she saw Elijah bending, his knees on the ground.

"Katerina, I'm not perfect, but I'd follow you in hell if that's what it took to keep you safe. I am your protector as you are mine, one to shield the other. There's no perfect lover, we are all flawed, but knowing those flaws and still loving with all your heart creates perfect love. I will never look further than you, my love. If my heart is a flower waiting to bloom, your love is the only sunshine it needs"

Katherine remained silent all the times. Tears overflowed her eyes.

"Katerina Petrova, will you marry me?"

At that instant, so many types of emotions were overwhelming her. But she knew what she had to reply. She already the answer.

"Yes....... I will. Yes" she smiled, tears coming out of her eyes.

Then, Elijah put on the ring on her finger.

"I love you" she kissed him.

"I love you too, Katerina"

**End of flashbacks**

"That's how it was" Katherine smiled.

"Why are you girls crying?" Kat chuckled.

"That was so beautiful" Caroline exclaimed.

"Caroline is right. Elijah was certainly feeling shy" Rebekah said.

"I'm sure he was scared" Bonnie laughed.

 "Noble Elijah is sure poetic" they laughed.

"He must have been preparing like that" Rebekah laughed.

"Oh, my dear Katerina,

I will love you,

Like the sky,

Loves the birds,

With open hands,

And infinite freedom" Bonnie and Caroline tried to mimic Elijah's stern voice.

"Miss Forbes, Miss Bennett I assure you, I did not do anything of that sort" Elijah said amused.

Caroline and Bonnie who were laughing had immediately stopped.

"Oh, please do continue your little party. I did not mean to ruin it" Elijah apologized.

"It's fine Elijah" Caroline smiled.

"Congratulations"

"Thank you!"

"If you are searching for Niklaus, he is in his studio" Elijah smirked.

"Congratulations" Bonnie smiled.

"Thank you, Miss Bennett"

"Please, drop that formal greeting. Call me Bonnie. We're are family" Bonnie laughed.

"That's my Bonnie Bennett" Kol smirked taking Bonnie to his room.

**********************

"Hey there!" Caroline entered Klaus' studio.

"Why that gloomy face?" Did something happen?" Caroline cupped his cheeks.

"I'm fine. I'm just a bit worried"

"About what?" Caroline inquired.

"I just don't know. I have a bad feeling that something will happen. Something which will end things for us" Klaus hugged her.

"I don't want to lose you, Caroline"

"You're not going to" she calmed him.

"I'm just like Mikael even if I don't want to admit it. Even though he's not my real father, we are somehow connected. I have that evilness in me. I have that beast inside of me" Klaus said, scared.

"You are nothing like Mikael, Klaus. I will always be there for you. Go and sleep. You will feel much better"

She was going away but she stopped when he called at her

"Will you stay with me for the night?" Klaus said.

His voice sounded broken.

She removed her shoes and jumped on the bed. She stroked his hair, and was singing a little song.

"My mother always sing that song to me" Klaus smiled.

"I see trees of green, red

Roses too.

I see them bloom for me

And you.

And I think to myself

What a wonderful world"

She was tired from that heavy day, she looked at Klaus and he was already sleeping.

She drifted to sleep with a smile on her face.

'Little did they know that their worst nightmare was coming'
