Clouds pass by slowly as the plane cruises through the skies over the island of Puerto Rico. Bonnie sits in her seat by the window reading a book. She was returning to Mystic Falls after getting a phone call from Abby saying it was important and she needed to talk in person. Bonnie was pretty apprehensive due to the fact it has been a little over two years since she has been back there.

Stefan was dead, Damon and Elena are in Germany, Caroline was in NOLA, Matt was still the sheriff, Alaric had the girls and opened up a magic institute with Jeremy working there as well. Bonnie spent most of her time traveling, meeting new covens, relief work and just enjoying herself. She'd been in contact with her mother ever since Enzo passed and has been steadily building a somewhat decent mother-daughter relationship.

"So what was so urgent that Abby couldn't just tell her over the phone? Was she in trouble? No, Abby could handle herself...unless it was something magic related?" Bonnie just shrugged and went back to her book, she would figure it out when she got there.

Before she knew it, she had to brace herself for the plane landing at the Lynchburg airport. After gathering all of her luggage she hailed a taxi. She told him to head to Mystic Falls, while on the ride back she called Abby.

She picked up on the second ring. "Ah, Bonnie, I'm glad you called. I want you to meet me at the institute."

Bonnie sighed. "Can I at least drop my things off first?" There was silence on the other end of the phone for a moment. "Okay, but be quick." She hung up. Bonnie looked at her phone quizzically before putting it back in her purse.

She arrived at her house, the taxi driver helped her carry her things to her door. She gave him a 50 dollar tip along with the fare. As soon as he pulled off, she looked around to make sure no one was watching and waved her hand to make all her stuff disappear into the house. She waved her hand again and her car keys appeared in them. It only took 15 minutes to get to the Institute, she was in awe of the place. The last time she was here, Caroline was showing Alaric the check Klaus had sent so he could get started. He slightly modeled it after the Xavier Institute, she guessed it was to make the kids feel more accepting of the place.

Bonnie could feel the magic of this place pulse through her. It was kind of overwhelming to be honest, she wasn't used to this much magic being around without trouble lurking in the shadows. She spotted her mother standing at the front entrance, taking to a lady - or more like arguing. She parked her car and walked over to them.

"Hey mom," she casually looked over at the lady. "Hello."

The lady's russet colored eyes narrowed in on Bonnie before speaking. "Hello, is she with you?" Glancing over at Abby and back, Bonnie nodded her head. The lady's eyes soften now. "I'm sorry, I'm Tiffany, I'm one of the admins here. For safety purposes, we don't invites vampires in."

Bonnie sucked in a breath. "You do know the founder of this school is friends with vampires right?"

Tiffany stood ramrod straight. "I'm only allowed to let Damon in and she doesn't look like him."

Bonnie looked annoyed now. "Tell Alaric Bonnie's here then."

Tiffany's eyes widened just then. "Oh my! You're THE Bonnie Bennett!? I...It's...I'm so, so sorry! Please come in!"

Bonnie nodded her head in her mother's direction. Tiffany's posture relaxed completely. "If she's with you, it's fine. Please follow me to the office."

They followed behind Tiffany as she lead them to main office. "I've heard so many stories about you, Bonnie. You destroyed hell, defeated Klaus, created another dimension. Your feats are legendary, Ms. Bennett."

Abby looked proud of her daughter while said daughter was shifting uncomfortably in her navy blue cardigan sweater before speaking. "The woman you wouldn't let in desiccated Mikael."

Tiffany abruptly stopped and quickly spun around facing them. "What!?" She practically screeched the word out. "She's a Bennett?! But she's a vampire! Oh...I am so sorry you had to go through that. No witch should ever go through that."

Both Bonnie and Abby eyed her coolly.

"Oh, my brother was turned into one, but died some years back. Anyway...if you'll continue following me." She turned back around and continued walking; they arrived at a set of double doors. She opened one and gestured them inside. She sat down at a desk in the left hand corner. "Now, what can I help you ladies with?"

Abby looked rather uneasy now. She looked hastily looked at Bonnie before looking back at Tiffany. "Give us a moment, please."

Bonnie looked lost as Abby grabbed her arm pulling out of the office. "Cast a spell so no one will hear us." She muttered the words rather quickly.

Bonnie, still confused, did the chant. She pulled her arm out of her mother's grasp. "Start talking." She said through gritted teeth. "You said you had something important to tell me."

Abby straightened up. "There's a young woman I want you to meet. Hopefully, she's still here." Bonnie just stared at her now. "What? Is she a student or teacher? Why is she so important?"

Abby looked down guilty. "When you meet her, you'll understand." Her mother turned and walked back into the office.

Bonnie walked in a few seconds later.

Abby spoke to Tiffany then, "I need to see a teacher that works here by the name of Alisha Warren."

Tiffany nodded and picked up her desk phone, "Yes, hi Ali, you're needed in the office." She put the phone back on the hook. "She said she'll be a few minutes, she's wrapping up her class."

A minute or two passed with Abby incessantly glancing at Bonnie nervously. She was starting to get fed up with her mother now. "Would you just tell me what's going...on." Bonnie stopped mid-sentence because she felt a presence coming near the office. "Mom, why do I feel...?"

Just then one of the doors opened revealing a young woman roughly the same height as her with caramel skin and curly black hair. She was wearing a plain black t-shirt and baggy camouflage cargo pants. The woman's head turned sharply in her direction, moss green eyes connecting with malachite green ones.

Alisha immediately froze before her eyes connected with Abby's and softened. "Hi, Mrs. Wilson." She paused before speaking a bit quieter. "You're a vampire now. You weren't one the last time I saw you though."

Bonnie's eyes hastily bounced between her mother and Alisha's. If Abby could sweat her hair would be sticking to her skin right about now. She got up, ushering Bonnie and Alisha out the door. Abby looked at Alisha. "Is there some place where we can talk privately?"

Alisha nodded her head. "Yeah, my classroom is empty right now since classes are over for the day."

While dipping and dodging the children running in the halls, Bonnie was staring rather intently at the back of Alisha's head. She felt off, she had the same feeling she had when she met Lucy for the first time, but something felt different too. They walked up a flight of stairs before making a right turn and stopping in front of a classroom.

She turned to them with a smile on her face. "Well here we are." She opened the door and went inside. "Pick any seat you want."

Abby let out a shaky breath. "It would probably be better if we all stood for this. Bonnie cast that spell again."

Bonnie chanted it again.

Abby took a deep breath before exhaling slowly. "Alisha, you grew up so beautifully and from what I can tell you have better control of your magic. Your adopted parents have taught you well."

Alisha looked baffled now. "Thank you, Mrs. Wilson-wait my adopted parents? No, I think you're mistaken."

Abby sighed and turned to Bonnie. "Bonnie please tell me you feel it. That shared feeling of magic between family members."

Both women gasped and looked at each other. Alisha started shaking her head frantically. "No, no, no, no, no, that's not possible, sure my birth parents are witches...but I'm not..." She collapsed into her chair her head in her hands. She started mumbling. "You would visit my house, speaking with my parents in hushed tones." She looked up now. "I always just thought something was off when I was around you because there's something wrong with my magic. But that's not the case is it? What am I to you?"

Abby looked ashamed before setting her eyes resolutely on Alisha. "I'm your biological mother."

Alisha gawked at her.

Bonnie finally spoke up after absorbing all the info spread out just now. "When did you manage to have her? Before or after you dealt with Mikael?"

Abby connected eyes with her first born. "After. I was 4 months pregnant with her at the time I went after him. That's why her magic's tainted, it's mixed with dark magic. I had her a month after I recovered from desiccating Mikael. Since I couldn't really carry around a newborn baby I got in contact with some old witch acquaintances and gave her to them. I didn't want her involved in my drama."

Bonnie just glared at her then.

Alisha got out of her chair, lashing out at Abby now. "So I was just some burden to you?! All those times you came to visit me and said nothing! Why couldn't you just tell me?!"

Abby had the audacity to look hurt. "It's like I said, I didn't want you involved in my drama, you were much to young. Please try to understand."

She reached out a hand to grab Alisha but the young woman side-stepped her. "Don't you dare touch me! You could've told me this sooner, but I guess your little mundane family was more important though, right?" She grew eerily quiet before speaking again. "Is it because I'm tainted with dark magic? You thought I would bring trouble to your home if you brought me there?"

Abby's eyes widened. "No! That wasn't it at all! Alisha please-"

She cut her off. "No! You don't get to use that excuse anymore! Your life was absolutely fine without me in it! You lived right near me in bliss with your family knowing your biological child wasn't that far away from you!"

Abby looked down, eyes filled to the brim with unshed tears. "I'm so sorry. I thought you would be better off without me."

Alisha glared at her. "Sorry won't cut it. I hate you." She looked at Bonnie and her eyes filled with tears before she ran out of the room. On her way out of the room, she accidentally bumped into Jeremy. "Oh, I'm sorry, Jeremy." He didn't even manage to get a word in edgewise before she was around the corner out of his sight.

Bonnie continued to give Abby a death glare. "So just to make sure I'm getting this right, all this time I had a younger sister that you decided I shouldn't know about? A sister that lived right near you, another grandchild Grams could've-could have learned about, another child dad-" Bonnie choked on her words, she took a deep breath to calm herself down.

Abby tried to gently take her hands, but she put them in her cardigan pockets. "Bonnie listen I couldn't have her find out about you. She would've wanted to meet you and then she would've gotten caught up in the Salvatore's mess and I refused to let that happen. How many times did you risk your life for those people? Think about all the pain and suffering they put you through, the literal hell you went through for them. Would you have wanted that to happen to your sister too?"

Bonnie looked offended now. "Those people were there for me when you weren't. They're my friends."

It was Abby's turn for her eyes to narrow. "The same friends that put their relationship problems above you? The same friends that gave maybe 25 percent, 45 if they really needed your magic while you gave them nothing but your full loyalty? Loyalty they didn't deserve. Those same friends?"

If looks could kill Abby would be dead at that moment. "Well, maybe if you had stuck around instead of shacking up with some guy and his son playing mom that could have been avoided." Bonnie swiftly left the room leaving Abby to wallow in the mess she made by herself.

Leaving the classroom she bumped into Jeremy. A smile formed on her face upon seeing her ex. "Hey Jer, it's been a while."

He smiled back at her. "Yeah it has, hasn't it? We should catch up sometime."

"We really should do that." Bonnie shifted uncomfortably now, "Um, did Alisha run pass here by any chance?"

Jeremy looked confused now. "Yeah, and she was crying too. Never seen her get like that before. What's going on Bon?"

"Which way did she go? I need to know Jer." She looked slightly antsy now.

"Uh, she went out the front doors, probably headed to the teachers' quarters. I'm not busy I can show you how to get there." Jeremy said while peering at Bonnie worriedly now.

"Oh, I - uh - no I got it. I'll see you later." She darted off in the direction of the front doors.

"Okay." Jeremy just scratched his head and quickly peered in the classroom. He saw Abby sitting there with her head in her hands and suddenly understood everything. He'll wait for Bonnie to tell him everything on her own terms.

After getting outside, Bonnie closed her eyes and concentrated on finding Alisha's magic. It wasn't easy with so many magic users around. Where did Alaric find all of these people? With the mess Damon and Stefan brought with them to Mystic Falls she half expected most of the supernatural people to be dead. Or they probably went into hiding, not that she could blame them.

Bonnie's eyes shot open. "Ah-ha! Found you!" When she finally located her magic it was...weird. It was kind of hard to explain. She tracked her down at her little apartment on the west side of the institute.

All she had to do was drop her name and the security just let her in, she headed straight for the second floor. When she arrived to Alisha's floor she rounded the corner near her apartment, she saw that her door was ajar.

A young male voice rang out. "Um Ms. Warren is it cool if I come to you for private lessons with my magic?"

It was quiet for a moment before she heard Alisha speak. "Sure thing Kyle, but I better not catch you acting up in my class again, understood?"

"I won't Miss Warren, I promise. See you later." The door opened and a blonde curly haired child stepped out.

When her eyes connected with his Bonnie's breath hitched, the boy could almost pass for a kid version of Kai. When he tilted his head in question Bonnie's heart started beating rapidly. "Could Kai have...with some random girl? No just no, not Kai, that was the least of his priorities. Not to mention this kid would have to be younger." She was so busy having an internal dilemma that she didn't hear the kid speak. "Huh?" She was startled out of her stupor by the sound of his voice.

"I said hi are you here to see Miss Warren too." He had a frown on his face now.

Bonnie pulled herself together. "Oh, sorry about that." She tried to smile, but since she was still a little creeped out, it came out rather forced. "Yes I am, I'm here to talk to her about something really important." She could hear Alisha snort in response in the apartment.

"Oh, okay then. Bye!" He gave a huge toothy grin before running off towards the stairs.

Bonnie took several deep breaths before she stepped into her sister's apartment. She casually leaned on the door frame. "We need to talk."

Alisha's jaw clenches and she just stares at Bonnie. She adjusted herself on her couch. "Well, I'm waiting."

Bonnie cleared her throat, walked in and made herself comfortable in a chaise lounge chair across from Alisha. "I..uh...Alright let me start over. Alisha, how much do you know about Ab - I mean Mrs. Wilson?"

Alisha's faced scrunched up while in thought and then relaxed. "She lived down the street from my parents and would often visit, claiming to be a friend of theirs. I would sometimes overhear them talking in the den about how my powers were developing and if I was having any sudden changes." Her eyes were cast downward now. "My tainted magic made my other family members - sorry adopted family - look at me funny."

Bonnie had her hands clasped in her lap. "Alisha, Mrs. Wilson's name is hyphenated, it's actually Abby Bennett-Wilson."

Alisha's head shot up, "Wait a minute she's a Bennett? But she's doesn't have her magic anymore. She's a vampire now." She looked confused. "Who turned her?"

Bonnie took a deep breath before responding. "My friend had turned her. It was necessary and complicated." Bonnie stared directly at Alisha now.

She had an unreadable expression on her face and in a monotone voice said. "Go on."

"We're the only ones of the bloodline left that I know of, that still have magic anyway." Bonnie looked slightly ashamed.

Alisha's eyes narrowed, "What happened to everyone else? Were they...turned or..." She swallowed a lump in her throat in fear of the inevitable. "They were killed weren't they? By mostly vampires or something related to them right?"

Bonnie just nodded her head solemnly.

Alisha pursed her lips. "Hmph, so my parents were right about vampires ruining people's lives." Her voice was laced with venom.

Bonnie wanted to dispute that but realized she had a point. If Stefan and Damon hadn't shown up in Mystic Falls, she and her friends would probably be living normal lives. So many people would still be alive. Tyler, Grams, and her dad. Unfortunately the Bennetts always get tangled up with vampires whether they wanted to or not.

The apartment was washed in an uncomfortable silence before Alisha spoke up again. "Okay I need to start hearing some good things, sooo, tell me about the Bennett family!"

Bonnie's head almost snapped from the whiplash, Alisha's sudden mood change caught her off guard. She cleared her throat. "Well we Bennetts are one of the most powerful bloodlines in history. We're descendants of Salem witches." She paused, a smile starting stretch from ear to ear. It felt good to talk about her family origins with another witch, another family member. "Obviously we escaped and settled in Mystic Falls."

Alisha's eyes were lit up. "Witches founded Mystic Falls!? Ooh what else?!" She was practically bouncing in her seat. "The older members, ancestors, did you manage to meet any of them? Were we a large coven?"

Bonnie let out a light laugh. "Yes I've met two, Qetsiyah and Emily." But then her smile dimmed, "Both meetings weren't exactly pleasant." She exhaled a breath to calm herself.

Alisha's smile faded immediately after hearing those words. "I'm-I'm so sorry. Was there ever a time you actually had happiness with the family?" She looked at Bonnie expectantly now.

Bonnie laughed bitterly, "I wish. Grams being alive was the last time I felt safe and happy. Abby left when I was 3, my dad was always at work, so it was just me and Grams and then she-" She sat up straight blinking back tears. "I found Abby again needing her help to defeat Klaus but a whole bunch of other stuff happened and you know the rest. There was also a cousin, Lucy, but she was killed a few years back as well."

Alisha's face was blank, before her mouth turned downward with a frown. "Wait you said Abby left you? She's your-" She took a deep breath and gripped her knees tightly. "I thought she was-" She hunched over, "I'm your-your-" Her body shook, wracked with sobs.

Bonnie had fresh tears in her eyes now. "Sister. I'm your older sister. That's what Abby wanted to say before you left the classroom." She was trying her best to blink back her tears again while Alisha's just flowed freely now. "Alisha..." She said softly as she stood up and walked over. Alisha met her halfway practically flying into her arms, sobbing uncontrollably now. Bonnie held her tightly and finally let her tears fall. "I wish I had met you sooner."

A few minutes passed while they just held each other. Alisha pulled herself together she wiping the tears off her face and pulled away from Bonnie. She sniffled a little and then chuckled. "I'm taller than you."

Bonnie leaned back a little. "I-" She stopped speaking and took it all in, she really was shorter than her younger sister. She laughed. "Only by an inch." She actually had a younger sister, Bonnie was sort of grateful Abby hadn't introduced them, she couldn't picture her involved in her friends adventures.

Alisha pulled Bonnie back towards the couch and they both sat down. "You know even though my family always treated me as they own child I never really felt like I belonged, now I know why."

Bonnie gently grabbed her hands and gave her a soft smile. "I want to know everything."

Alisha nodded her head enthusiastically and began talking. Outside the apartment door Abby smiled ruefully to herself and walked away.

The moon shines brightly in the sky, high heels click clack along the pavement and then into an abandoned warehouse. Sounds of bone-crunching could be heard echoing throughout the place. "Ugh make sure you wash your mouth out when you're done, I don't want to smell whatever that was you just ate." A woman sat down on a crate looking at her rose quartz colored nails.

A crocodile hunches in an impossible way before slowly transforming into a human man. He gets up cleaning out his teeth with his nails. "Did you get the kid to do it?"

Her delicate face scrunched up in disgust before speaking, "Yeah he did what was necessary and then was disposed of. They're in Virginia, a town called Mystic Falls." She reached into her pants pocket and threw the man a small toothbrush kit along with a small bottle of water. "I am not trying to smell that stench in the car." Her eyes travelled over the length of his body sizing up every little detail before resting on his face. "As...delectable..." She licked her lips, "as you look I need you to be dressed by the time I pull up with the car. You know what's going to happen if you don't right?" Her voice had suddenly turned cold.

He felt chilled to the bone. "I will be ready Ness." He quickly walked off to get dressed and wash his mouth out. A few minutes later he heard the tires on the gravel and rushed outside. He practically ran to the car.

She looked over at him with a smile on her face. "I love when you follow orders little Gideon." She said it in that creepy singsong voice that reminded him of his mother while patting his head. "Now on to Mystic Falls."

On this warm Saturday afternoon Bonnie was sitting in a cafe on the campus, waiting for Alisha to arrive after teaching her class. "Who would've thought there would be another teacher in the family?" While Bonnie was thinking to herself she heard footsteps rapidly approaching followed by the sound of heavy breathing. She casually sipped on her mango slushie.

Alisha was panting with her hands on her knees. "I'm...sorry...I'm...late..." She plopped down in the chair in the most ungraceful manner possible still trying to catch her breath. "I...didn't...want...to...keep...you."

Bonnie smiled behind her drink, and then put it down. "I was here for maybe 5 minutes, so you're fine." Since the reveal of having a little sister the two have been inseparable for the past week. "Seems like you need to work out more." She outright laughed now.

Alisha gave her a mocked glare. "Haha real funny, I get enough exercise dealing with my kids thank you very much. Since they're mostly magic users and all around supernatural I don't get normal kid problems, oh no, I have to change kids back from being turned into frogs or some other type of creature. They want to learn how to make love potions and turn invisible so they can cause mischief, like setting people's butts on fire. If I get asked do I have a boyfriend one more damn time or, my all time favorite, 'do you like someone in the school?' I'm going to go insane."

Bonnie just laughed harder.

She dropped her head on the table. "Stop it's not funny."

Bonnie crossed her legs, the back of her wedge ankle boot hitting the chair lightly. "What's your summer plans?"

"I wanted it to be me, before you showed up anyway, getting as far away from the kids as possible. But now I planned on taking the little witchlings and warlocks, the boys says it sounds cooler than saying witch," She rolled her eyes, "to visit another coven during summer solstice." She propped her head in her hand now. "Do you-"

Bonnie spoke before she could even finish. "Of course I'll go with you! That's what I've been doing these past few years myself besides relief work." She replied with a smile.

Alisha's eyes lit up. "Yes!" She said it a bit to loudly causing a few people to look at them. She slouched in her seat and spoke more quietly. "We're going to Greece, specifically Patras."

"Ah I haven't been to that part. I'll have my things ready by the 18th." She laughed lightly. "Then maybe after we bring the kids back we could go to Italy or something?"

"I would love that." Alisha said grinning from ear to ear.

A car pulled up in front of the school. Gideon looked around in wonder, so much had changed since he had last been in Virginia. Schools didn't look like this back then, not that he would've been allowed in anyway. He casually turned to face Ness. "Um...since we already scouted out the area do we wait or..."

"We go in now. I want him." Her words were clipped.

"Well I am going to need you to do what you do so I can get in." He got out of the car and started stripping off his clothes.

Ness got out and walked up to the magic barrier set around the school, it dissipated immediately. She looked back at Gideon and smirked. "It's all yours little Gideon."

He handed her his clothes, crouched on all fours and began to transform.

Alisha felt a chill go up her spine. She sat up straight, brows furrowed in concentration. "Something's wrong, the barrier's gone, the barrier is to never be removed." Suddenly the ground started to shake and people started screaming. Bonnie and Alisha both crouched down on floor of the cafe. When they both looked up, out the cafe windows, they saw an elephant charging towards the school with a pale skinned woman on top of it.

Bonnie thought she had possibly experienced everything in life, to say this stunned her was an understatement. "We have to get to the school!"

Alisha looked down. "Can you actually run in those things?" She was referring to Bonnie's wedge boots.

"Yes I can!" And to prove her point she took off running towards the school with Alisha right behind her.

By the time they arrived the elephant had already took down the front half of the school and was gone. In it's place was the woman holding an arrow in her hand and a half naked light skinned man. Jeremy was facing them, crossbow in hand while Tiffany was trying to get the children to calm down and out a side door. Bodies were scattered everywhere, some teachers, others students. None of them were moving.

The woman's hazel eyes narrowed to slits. "Move aside boy. You don't want end up like the rest of this trash lying around do you?" She spoke with a thick eastern european accent. With a sinister smile on her face she casually took a step forward and Jeremy fired off a shot. She sidestepped it as if it was nothing.

Bonnie was already chanting, power flowed out and a rush of fire aimed towards the woman rang out before vanishing into thin air. Her eyes widened in shock. "Seriously?! Don't tell me there's more siphoners out there!"

Alisha looked lost now. "Siphoners?"

"Siphoners, they're rare witches that can absorb magic. They're a Gemini Coven exclusive." She spoke through gritted teeth. "But I don't remember their powers working like that." Bonnie and Alisha slowly made their way over to Jeremy's right side while carefully eyeing the two intruders.

The man's dark eyes flashed in anger at the mention of the coven. "You know of them?" His question directed at Bonnie.

She eyed him and chose her words carefully. "I knew of them, but they're no longer around." Bonnie stood at full height, chin jutted out, arms crossed over her chest. "If that's the reason you're here then you're a few years too late."

He smirked now, "Oh I know. I would not be free otherwise." His tone completely condescending.

Bonnie's jaw clenched and Alisha looked beyond lost now. "Bon?" Bonnie gave her a look that said they'll discuss it later.

The woman stuffed her hands in her pants pockets, a face of complete annoyance. "Carlos come we're leaving. He isn't here, we no longer have a reason to be at this establishment."

He looked at her questioningly, "But Ness I thought-"

In the blink of an eye Ness' arm swung out, arrow in hand, and straight into Carlos' stomach. He doubled over in pain. She hissed out the words. "When I tell you we're leaving you don't question me, understand?"

He made a grunt of agreement.

She pulled the arrow out slowly and let it drop to the floor. "Good now that we got that out the way. Let's go." She turned slightly to face Bonnie and co, "Oh I wouldn't try anything if I were you, I did my research and made sure to plan ahead in case anyone tried to get in my way." She wore a smile of pure confidence. She turned back around and dragged Carlos outside towards a grey car. They got in and drove off.

Alisha looked around carefully making sure there was no more threats in the area. Afterwards she sat down on a pile of rubble, albeit uncomfortably. "Everyone okay?" There was a slight tremble in her voice.

Jeremy spoke up first. "Yeah I'm good." He paused. "What in the hell was that? First they attack the school which brings up the question of why is there a shapeshifter among us in the first place? I thought they were wiped out. Then now apparently there's more siphoners out there too."

Bonnie put her head in her hands while leaning against the somewhat still intact front desk. "I'm more focused on what Carlos said, he said that he wouldn't be free if the Gemini were still around. That means he was locked in a prison world before." It came out rather muffled.

Jeremy's lips pursed. Alisha looked between both of them. "Somebody gonna explain this to me? I like super lost right now."

Bonnie took a deep breath before speaking. "Okay so the Gemini were a dysfunctional coven that my friends and I came in contact with a few years ago." Alisha went to raise her hand but Bonnie gave her a pointed look. "Save the questions for when I'm done with the story." Alisha put her hand down immediately.

"So I'm not going into details since I told you majority of this stuff but they came to Mystic Falls to deal with the Travellers, then some other stuff happened I became the Anchor and ended up in a prison world with Damon." Her jaw clenched, "There we met Kai Parker, a sociopath, who would later become the Coven leader. He would, as his last act of revenge, kill his sister and then himself there for wiping out the Gemini Coven."

Alisha leaned back taking everything in. "So if I'm getting this right that Carlos guy, which I doubt is his real name, was locked in there for presumably doing something terrible was later freed due to the Kai guy killing himself?"

Bonnie's eyes hardened, "Well not exactly...if I remember correctly if the leader dies the prison world wouldn't exist anymore. He would need to have help getting out of there. And the Other Side doesn't exist anymore either." She mutter the last part moreso to herself.

"So you're saying there's probably a rogue witch running around helping those two? Well that's definitely not good." She suddenly leaned forward. "Okay I know how we can deal with the shapeshifter but our main problem is the woman, I think he said her name was Ness, y'all said she was a siphoner? How exactly do we deal with that?" She pounded her fist in her hand. "Wait when you mean siphoner you mean what Alaric's twins are? I could've probably figured it out sooner but there was too much going on. Funny I always called them spongers though."

Bonnie's face scrunched up. "Hold up there's a way to defeat a shapeshifter?" She said incredulously. "I didn't know they existed until today. How do we even go about doing that?"

Jeremy and Alisha exchanged looks, with Jeremy talking now. "Well there's two ways actually, the first is to learn the shapeshifter's name then you can either kill them via beheading or take control of them. The second is long and tedious as hell which is you have to kill every form it transforms into with something made of pure platinum."

Bonnie crossed her arms over her chest and started pacing back and forth, thinking to herself, "If she's some type of siphoner I could always just get Kai..." Her eyes darkened. "No, no, no, that's out of the question." She looked ready to pull her hair out.

"Bonnie?" Alisha said sounding concerned. "What's out of the question?"

Said woman spun around abruptly. "I said that out loud!?"

Alisha's eyebrows were raised. "Yeah."

She started biting her bottom lip before letting out a frustrated sigh. Jeremy walked over and put a hand on her shoulder. "You okay Bon?"

She shook her head, "No I'm not because the only other solution we could possibly have to deal with her is someone I don't want to see ever again."

Alisha hopped up, "Okay so if we have the solution what's the problem? Is the person that bad?"

Bonnie turned to face her. "Yes he is. And I would prefer it if he stays locked up rather than to rely on him."

Jeremy's hand dropped from Bonnie's shoulder and Alisha looked between them worried now. "Jer? Bon?"

Bonnie's nostrils flared. "Our solution to dealing with Ness would be Kai."

Alisha put her hand up in a stop motion. "Pause, I thought you said he died." She was bewildered now.

Bonnie's lips pursed. "Well he did die but then he became a heretic, a witch/vampire hybrid, then Damon killed him but when hell was opened up he got out and I trapped him in a special made prison world."

"How in the hell does that work? The moment he became a vampire he should've been cut off from nature - oh my god - it's because he was already abnormal to begin with! Holy cow that is both awesome and disturbing. So when are we getting him out?" She looked expectant now bouncing on the heels of her feet.

Jeremy looked appalled, "Alisha you can't be serious! He's a monster! He killed children, who were his brothers and sisters by the way, not to mention his entire coven!" He yelled.

Her eyes narrowed. "I don't see you coming up with anything! That Ness chick dodged your arrows like they were nothing and somehow repels magic. If she's some type of siphoner we should get another one to defeat her! Unless you want to use Alaric's twins?" They glared at each other.

"Look I just think he should be our last resort." He looked defeated now.

"Alright listen up you two here's how we go about this." Bonnie's hands were on her hips. "I don't want to do this either but we really don't have a choice in the matter. I'm going into the prison world to get Kai, knowing him I'm going to have to strike some type of deal with him." Jeremy and Alisha went to protest but Bonnie shut them both down with one look. "When I bring him back we have to make sure he's closely monitored, he has a habit of using cloaking spells. He also has a gift for gab," As she said this she looked over at Alisha. "Don't fall for his charms."

Alisha nodded her head. "Okay."

With her eyes never leaving Alisha's she spoke to Jeremy. "Jer I want you to stay here with the kids; Don't argue with me on this. Alaric's going to need your help with the students. Alisha you're coming with me. We need to get some blood bags and the ascendant." Her voice demanded that this was absolute.

Jeremy sighed in defeat. "Alright, please be careful you two."

Alisha smiled, "Will do. You ready Bonnie?"

Bonnie steeled her resolve. "Yeah let's go. The quicker we get this done the better." They walked to the parking lot and headed for Bonnie's car.

It took a few minutes because they had to stop by a hospital for the blood bags but they arrived at Bonnie's house. The entire car ride Bonnie taught Alisha the spells for getting to and from the prison world. Bonnie used magic to open her door stalking quickly into the den, opening the draw door of the end table to pull out the ascendant. "Ali are ready for this?" Bonnie asked.

"As ready as I'll ever be." She looked down at the contraption. "So this is an ascendant huh?"

"Hmmhmm, I personally made this one. They normally look like the pieces of a clock thrown together." She pulled out a knife and made a cut in her hand.

Bonnie closed her eyes with Alisha following behind her and they both began to chant. When they opened their eyes they were in front of a karaoke bar. Alisha looked around, "You know I expected this place to look a bit different. Not a replica of the outside world." She said in wonder.

Bonnie smirked. "I admit I do come here sometimes get free clothes and stuff."

Alisha feigned surprise. "Oh my that's soo naughty! I would have never took you for that type."

Bonnie shrugged her shoulders. "It was something I got used to doing when I was stuck in the prison world back then."

Alisha smiled brightly at Bonnie. "Sweet! I wanna try out whatever outfits you bought when we get back. Or hey maybe I should grab some things myself."

Bonnie eyes widened. "I should have never told you that, I'm already being a bad influence for my younger sister." She shook her head smiling and began walking toward through the entrance. As soon as she got inside she felt something was wrong, the spin doctors weren't playing for one. She rushed ahead and saw that Kai was still in the chair but his chains were on the floor. She snarled, he even had on a change of clothes too.

Alisha ran in. "Warn somebody next time would you?" She looked over Bonnie's shoulder. "That's him?"

Bonnie nodded grimly.

Alisha walked behind the mini bar and handed Bonnie a straw and cup, while grabbing two more cups. Bonnie quirked an eyebrow while Alisha casually grabbed a bottle of pineapple ciroc and some juice. Alisha looked up from her musings. "What? We both obviously need a drink after what happened earlier and what we're about to do now. You just go give him the blood in the cup or do you want me to do it?"

She shook her head, "Nope I got it." After she poured the blood into the cup she walked over to Kai and splashed the blood on his face. It took a few minutes but Kai started slowly responding. As the blood seeped into his mouth his color began to return to normal. His tongue leisurely slid out to lick the blood it could reach. She threw more on his face and he licked up what he could of that too. She tsked, "Hmph I should've brought him some rats or mice instead so I could watch his desperation." She refilled the cup to a little less than half and put it in between his legs in the chair.

Alisha just stared mesmerized, this was her first time seeing both a dessicated vampire and watching it come back from being that way as well. She walked back around the other side of the bar and handed Bonnie her drink. "Don't worry I only put an inch of the stuff in there and mixed it with punch."

"Thanks." Bonnie accepted it and sipped gingerly while still keeping an eye on Kai.

Kai finished the cup and let it fall to the floor. Bonnie moved a little closer putting her hands on her hips somewhat blocking Alisha from Kai's sight. His eyes adjusted to his surroundings before finally settling on Bonnie; He looked her over rather appreciatively, from her neatly pinned up hair with a few strands sticking out, to the emerald green handkerchief halter top and black tights, to her black wedge ankle boots. He licked his lips, cleared his throat and with a smirk on his face said, "It's been a while Bonster."
