No ones POV

"Do you want to figure it out with me?" He asked, he wants there to be another way.

Caroline breaths out, nodding and crying as a small smile appears on her lips. Klaus smiles, wiping her tears away once again.

She looks at his lips, it's taking everything in her not to kiss him. He feels the same, he just wants to kiss her right now.

This time, it's not Caroline leaning in first to kiss him. Klaus leans in and captures her lips in a slow, passionate kiss.

She grips the front of his jacket with her fists to try to bring him even closer to her. He moves one of his hands from her cheek and moves a strand of her hair behind her ear.

"I'm not letting you go." Caroline said, her voice barely audible. "We'll figure this out, ok, Klaus?"

"Alright, love." Klaus said, breathlessly. He trusts her. If she says they'll figure it out, then they'll figure it out.

Caroline wipes her tears away, and Klaus just stares at her in awe. He can't believe that she loves him, she didn't say it, but he knows it.

He loves her and she's always known it. She laughs lightly and her breath gets caught in her throat at the way he's looking at her.

"Let's go." She smiles at him, grabbing his hand. He looks down at their interlocking fingers and back into her eyes. "Come on."

Klaus breathes out and smiles. What are you doing to me? He thinks. He's scared that this is dream that he'll soon wake up from.

They walk together to the Mikaelson compound where they bump into Elijah.

"Caroline Forbes?" Elijah questioned, and he looks down at her and his brothers fingers locked together.

"Hi, Elijah." Caroline smiles lightly while putting her free hand on Klaus' forearm. "This hollow...it can't destroy you guys. I won't let it." She looks at Klaus.

"There has to be another way." Klaus looks into the blondes gorgeous eyes before looking back at his brother. "I can't sacrifice myself, Elijah."

"You shouldn't have to. Your daughter needs you. If you leave then she'll be an orphan." Elijah sighed, placing his hand in his suit jacket pocket. "I told you that I'll be the sacrifice."

"I'm not going to let you do that, brother. It would be wrong to let you die for my daughter. She's mine."

"Exactly, Niklaus, she's yours." Elijah stated firmly. "You have to be here to watch her grow up. Your daughter needs her father. She already lost her mother-"

"I understand now," Klaus interrupted him. "if you're the sacrifice...you could end up with Hayley."

Elijah looks down at floor and takes a deep breath. Even hearing her name made his heart hurt. It breaks him in two that he thinks he is at fault for her death.

Rebekah walks in and stands by Elijah. A small smile appears on her face as she looks at Klaus and Caroline. "Well, it's about bloody time you two." She told them, then she looks at Elijah, placing her hand on his shoulder, and he looks at his her.

"I'm going to be the sacrifice." Elijah said. He wants to die, he feels like there's nothing left for him here anymore.

"Elijah." Rebekah shakes her head. She doesn't want to say goodbye to anyone she loves.

"I'm sure there's another way, Elijah." Caroline spoke. "You're the Mikaelson's for crying out loud." She said, they are the original vampires. Nothing can take them down.

"I'm not happy here." Elijah said, looking at all of them. "Everyday I wake up and live the same day, the same routine. I cannot escape this guilt, it's with me at every moment. I want to be with Hayley...I'm in love with her, alright? I'm in love with her. She's all I think about."

"I'll talk to Freya-"

"No," Rebekah cut off Klaus. "there's no other way to get rid of the hollow. Someone has to be the sacrifice. One of us has to die."
