I do not own anything of Vampire Diaries.
I'll get one thing across; I am terrible with first chapters, so sorry. But bear through, and this will soon become a crossover. I would say about three chapters... including this one.
"You have no idea if this will work. Bonnie will die!"
"Silas is gone now, Caroline; He has no reason for violence."
"He has every reason. He's an Original! I need you to realize the mistake you're making!"
Jeremy turned to face Caroline, a bag of salt still in his hand before he put in in the plastic basket in his other hand. "Keep it down. I would rather we not alert the entire store to this… Just… let me do this." A sigh left her lips as she went with Jeremy to the checkout, her blonde friend close behind. Jeremy bit his lip, hating he was in the middle of this. He himself didn't want Bonnie to do this, yet she was determined, and she was relying on him to help her through this. It was the least he could do to help her, along with being her translator to her friends.
Not long from then, the two(three?) had arrived at the Salvatores'.
"Hey, why are we almost always here now?" Caroline walked into the Kitchen just after Bonnie had Jeremy put the small bag of salt into a cabinet.
"Because since Stefan returned he's been acting oddly," Elena answered. "Damon obviously won't admit it but he's worried about him as well. So I have been over here often helping him deal with it. Also the fact that I practically live here now."
Caroline raised an eyebrow at her explanation, her tone becoming slightly teasing. "So… then you haven't just been over here fooling around with Damon?"
"Alright, could we stop talking about that for at least a day," Elena complained with a sigh. "God you managed to fit a years' worth of annoyance into the two days we've been together. We… yes, we're together. But that doesn't mean we sleep together every chance we get."
Caroline scoffed. "Well, knowing Damon-"
"Alright both of you, shut up." Jeremy finally spoke up, now holding a tiny bound bundle of sage over a cup. "She says she can't have any stress if we're going to try this." He desperately didn't want to talk about what they needed the sage for. But they had both threatened to tell Damon and Stefan what they planned if they didn't clarify on everything. Bonnie hated to be the one to do this, but she hadn't been given much of a choice.
The two nodded, yet still had plenty to fume to each other about later. After a few moments Bonnie had the sage burning, sending smoke to swirl above it, while Jeremy set it down in the cup.
Another few minute passed, Bonnie nodded to Jeremy. "Alright, she says it's working."
Elena spoke first. "Good, question right away; Are you able to bring Jenna, or Alaric back as well?"
Jeremy glanced at Bonnie, watching her as he repeated what she told him; "No. They don't have reason to return anymore. They are… content with their fates." He hated the fallen expression Elena took on.
"Call Klaus," Bonnie told Jeremy.
"We need to call Klaus." Elena, Bonnie, and surprisingly Jeremy turned to look at Caroline, who looked back at them with a confused expression for a few moments. Yet soon it became annoyed, and slightly offended.
"Why do all of you believe I have his number?"
"Because every chance he gets he insists on flattering you," Elena stated simply. "Not to mention the constant eye sex he attempts every time he sees you."
"Wow. And I thought you had flipped your switch back on."
Jeremy leaned forward against the counter they were all circled around, supported more so on his arms. "So apparently I missed a Caroline and Klaus affair."
"It is not an affair," Caroline all but shouted in frustration. "We are not having eye sex, we are not having an affair, and… well he doesn't try to flatter me every chance he gets."
Jeremy was still laughing lightly, hearing Bonnie giggle to only his ears. Elena nodded, still not believing it. "Then do you have it or not?"
Caroline bit her lip after a moment, practically growling in further frustration as she surprisingly gracefully flipped out her phone to open contacts. This sent the rest of them more fully laughing as Caroline muttered "Shut up"'s at them and placing the phone on the table, simultaneously selecting 'speaker'.
It only took two rings before a voice sounded on the other end; "Caroline, what a joy to hear from you."
"I need your help, Klaus," Caroline responded bluntly. For a moment she regretted putting this on speaker, but he wasn't that impulsive, right? Wait, what am I thinking. Klaus not being impulsive?! She silently laughed at her own stupidity while adding, "This is on speaker, so… don't do anything stupid."
"Now Love, you can't possibly think that daring of me as to try anything over a phone. I much preferred our quite heated rendezvous in person not many months ago."
Caroline bit her lip almost enough to draw blood, not looking up to meet either interrogating gazes. "Considering you bring that up right now and over the phone, I should think that wrongly of you." Months later and he brings that up. Really?! I quickly changed the subject, though. "We're here to talk about the Witchy resurrection thing."
"What is it you need to know. As long as my brother is returned to the 'living' everything works out well, everyone goes home happy. But of course I will be there in the chance you and your friends intend to stake him."
"We wanted to know details about the arrangement," Jeremy told him. "Bonnie said she still needs a celestial event, as in the half moon coming tomorrow. But-"
"Ask Bonnie if Finn is able to return as well."
Jeremy was silent for a moment as he looked at Bonnie questioningly. After she shook her head he was slightly relieved. Yet Finn would be much less of a problem than Kol, He decided. "She can't. It would take too much out of her, and for the same reason our friends won't be able to come back; He is content with his fate, he has no reason to return."
There was muttering on the other end for a moment, ending with an audible curse, followed by the mentioning of, "Sage."
"Alright, then tell her to meet me at the last destination for the sacrifices. Caroline will know where to find it."
Caroline merely remarked something under her breath and grabbed her phone, ending the call. "So damn infuriating. So Jeremy, what can Bonnie tell us about how this works?"
Even Bonnie was confused for a moment, staring at Caroline until she turned to Jeremy with a forced smile. "Tell them I will need the salt, then for it to be spread on the designated ground as a pentagram. Then I'll perform the spell and Kol will appear. Although you will need to want him there. It works better if he is summoned from another source. If it works well he will become living in his dead life." Jeremy relayed it back to them, still staring at Bonnie, who cursed silently at his look. He always had to know when it was fake.
"What can we do to help?" Elena asked, far more worried than intrigued. Her hopes had been long from extinguished when she realized no one else would be able to come back.
"Just stand by," Jeremy said after a minute. "Be ready and prepared in case he tries anything."
Carolines' brow was furrowed, yet she wasn't sure what she was actually thinking. "Wait, we aren't going to have a plan. We're given this opportunity and we don't think of anything?"
"It won't work, Caroline." Elena began slowly pacing, in truth wondering why they hadn't thought of anything. "As Klaus said; He'll be there waiting for us to make a move. We can always try something later."
Jeremy spoke up again. "Bonnie needs one other thing. Caroline; call Klaus again and ask him to bring something of Kols'." Jeremy had somehow made his way to the edge of the doorway. Now he slipped out inconspicuously, sneaking off out of the house as if the two Vampires couldn't hear him. Of course Bonnie had to follow, which was their intention after all.
Caroline barely noticed Jeremys' absence, already freaking out over calling Klaus again. "I'm getting a drink," Elena told her after looking after where Jeremy had gone, obviously going out to speak to their friend alone again.
"No, Elena, I don't want to call Klaus alone." But Elena had already disappeared down to the 'basement'. Niklaus had been irking her for the past two days. Telling her in that he would make her his eventually then leaving her alone for 42 hours aside from the threat to Jeremy-to-Bonnie. Not that she was complaining -or, she kind of was- but it was an eerie withdrawal.
"Just do it, Care!" Elenas' voice sounded form downstairs. Caroline forced down her worries yet again with a throated growl, bringing up Klaus's contact again and holding and holding it against her ear.
"Have you decided to take me off speaker yet, Love?"
Caroline walked outside as she spoke, grateful the fresh air was already calming her nerves. "Bonnie needs something of Kols'. Bring it tomorrow night."
"Is that all?"
"Yes, make sure its' something of his, not your… suicidal brother or anything."
"As you all said; They are unable to be brought back."
"Just do it," Caroline practically hissed at him.
Of course, his voice remained his damn sexy, ignorant… "Of course. And, Caroline?"
"What?"
"I'm looking forward to seeing you." Before he had the offer to continue she hung up. Tyler said a week, why could his Hybrid quickness not grant him less of three days?
