This is a little bit of a time jump between the introduction of the characters and this chapter.
Elijah and Katherine Mikaelson are heading to the elevators to go talk with the Seelies when the portal door glows purple and Esther Mikaelson comes walking through dressed in a black dress with a black jacket. " Elijah, Katherine what is this about making unsanctioned missions by the clave."
Elijah with his wife Katherine look surprised by his mothers appearance " It was Damon and that fell girl."
" You didn't bring Henrik?"
Esther still walking down the hall away from her son and daughter in law "Your father went to pick him up in Mumbai and we heard all about the fell girl who turned out to be a Gilbert where is Damon I need to talk with him."
Elijah sighs his mother spends most of her time in Idris " He's out with the Gilbert girl."
Esther turns around to face them " Very well where are your siblings?"
" Kol is helping the witch Davina, Klaus is in the training room, Rebekah is in her room, Freya is researching, and we were on our way to talk with the Seelies."
" That's another reason why I'm here the queen of the Seelies has stopped communicating with the clave."
Elijah wiping invisible lint from his suit " We will find out."
" Also if you see Kol tell him I want to talk with him."

Kol spent the night at Davina's he was helping her regain some energy she lost yesterday when she had to heal Mason Lockwood he is still in bed when his phone rings " Yes Elijah."
Elijah and Katherine are walking to see Katherine's Seelies friend Nadia " Our mother is here and is looking for you she wants you back at the institute to talk with you."
That gets Kol out of his just woken haze " Our mother is here."
" Yes and she wants to talk to you."
" Do you know what she wants to talk about do you think she knows about my relationship with Davina?"
" I don't know she just said she wants to talk to you now. I can't be there I am dealing with the Seelies they have stopped communicating with the clave but our other siblings are at the institute so they can give you support."
Elijah hangs up " But Elijah."
Davina comes back into the room wearing a silk short robe " That werewolf is doing fine, tell Damon the next time the wolves have a fight over who should be the alpha I am not nursing the poisoned wolf back to health. I'm the high witch of Manhattan I deal with witches and on the side Shadowhunters, wolves are just too hairy and tempemental for me."
She snaps her fingers and breakfast appears on the bed " Breakfast in bed."
Kol looks at the witch then at the breakfast on the bed " Darling I would love to have breakfast in bed with you believe me there's nothing I would like more than that but my mother is at the institute and is asking for me and you do not want to upset or keep waiting my mother or my father."
" Duty calls will I see you tonight?"
Kol leans up from the bed and kisses her " I will try to get away from my mother and see you it might be hard my mother is an overprotective matriarch."
Davina puts her arms around his neck " Well then you mustn't keep her waiting love you."
Kol leans down and kisses her " Love you too."
Kol turns around to leave when Davina pulls him back to her and puts a waffle and a piece of bacon in his hand " I can't let my handsome shadowhunter go hungry."
Kol laughs and kisses her again " Thank you."

Elijah and Katherine enter Nadia's home it's a big tent hidden in Central Park they see Nadia cutting a plant she's growing " Nadia,"
" Katherine I see you brought Elijah with you."
Nadia showing them to her couch " Yes the girls were busy you met my husband Elijah before right?"
As a Seelies Nadia can't lie " Yes we have met briefly at your wedding why are you here I thought you would be out find the Gilbert's daughter."
Katherine has been friends with Nadia since she was fifteen she knows all the Seelies tricks how the can't lie but they can avoid and distract " We found her already we actually have a question for you?"
Nadia looks intrigued and signals that Katherine should continue " We found out that your queen has stopped communicating with the clave why?"
Nadia looks around avoiding the question " Did the Gilbert girl have the mortal cup?"
" Nadia your avoiding the question."
" So are you if I didn't know any better I would think you were Seelies too."
"How about this you answer a question I answer one you go first?"
" The queen doesn't like how the clave is operating now you."
Elijah leans forward "She didn't have the cup now why after all this time has the queen decided to stop communicating there has to be a reason?"
" There is. Do you know where the cup is?"
Elijah barely knows Nadia but she is friends with his wife " I asked first?"
Nadia takes a sip of her tea "She's heard the Gilbert's are back and if they're back they will go after the clave we are already a small bred she doesn't want any more Seelies casualties."
They understand they don't want any casualties either " We don't know where it is."
Nadia finishes her tea " Was that all?"
Katherine and Elijah stand up "Yes as always Nadia it's good to see you."
" Good to see you too Katherine."

Esther is watching her son Klaus and his wife Caroline sparing while waiting for Kol and Damon to arrive they notice her " Mother what are you doing here where's Henrik?"
Klaus hands Caroline a towel and a water bottle. Esther comes into the room more " Your father is getting him in Mumbai and I'm here to straighten things out starting with that Gilbert girl but she seems to be missing with your brother Caroline."
Caroline looks down Esther has always intimidated her " I will call Damon and tell him to get back to the institute."
Esther sees she hasn't moved yet " Are you going to go?"
Caroline looks at Klaus who widens his eyes silently saying I know he kisses her cheek. " Right now I'll be back."
As she's walking to her room he sees Kol walking up the stairs " Save yourself Esther is here."
" Wish I could I have been summoned."
Caroline looks back at the training room and sees Klaus is buying her a little time " Well Esther is focused on finding Elena she sent me to call Damon."
" What's her mood?"
Esther intimidates them all " Determined."
Kol braces himself " Wish me luck I'm going in."
Caroline smiles at him and hugs him "Good luck and Henrik is coming he's not here yet Mikael is picking him up from Mumbai."

Kol walks over to the training room " Mother you wanted to see me."
Esther turns her focus from one son to another " Yes Kol it has come to my attention that you are not married yet or even have a girlfriend so I took the liberty to have a demon hunter from Idris who is we used to know come here to marry you."
Kol is shocked and Klaus is standing there also listening to this " Mother."
" This is none of your concern Niklaus you have a brother in law who is running around New York with the Gilbert's daughter and a wife who can't control her oldest brother."
She turns back to Kol who is just staring at her in shock " Kol close your mouth. Do you remember the Bennett family well their daughter Bonnie lost her husband so we arranged for her to marry you as you know Shadowhunter marriages are powerful it will help you fight better. Bonnie arrives tomorrow you can thank me at the wedding."
Esther walks away and Kol goes to walk after her when he is held back by Klaus who is whispering in his ear " Calm yourself brother."
Once they know Esther is gone and out of hearing distance Kol explodes " An arranged marriage to someone I don't even remember that is insane we don't live in the 1700s we life in 2017."
Klaus goes to say something when Kol's face goes white " Davina what am I going to tell her we love each other if she was a Shadowhunter we would be married but she's a witch and not just any which the high witch of Manhattan mother would never understand you have to help me get out of this."
Klaus rubs the back of his sweaty neck when Caroline comes in " Where's Esther I called Damon like she wanted?"
She sees Kol is beyond mad and klaus is just speechless " What did Esther say?"
Kol spits out with so much venom in his voice it's amazing " She set up an arranged marriage for me. Do you remember Bonnie Bennett from Idris her husband died so Esther arranged for Bonnie to come here and marry me because Shadowhunter marriages help you fight better Bonnie arrives tomorrow."
" What about Davina?"
Kol throws his arms up in the arm " That's what I'm worried about I love her and she loves me to quote my parabatai Damon 'were in the love'."
Caroline always laughs when Damon says that " Nik we have to stop this."
Klaus looks over at his beyond angry brother and his wife " How can we can't stop Esther but maybe we can make this wedding hard we need everyone if we're going to pull this off."

They are all In Rebekah's room talking about how to destroy the upcoming wedding. " I refuse to propose to that Bennett girl, Rebekah why didn't she ask you to marry Stefan?"
Rebekah sitting on her bed next to Stefan " We haven't seen her yet."
" Just wait your turn is coming she's already hit Katherine, Elijah, me, Nik, and Kol, she just has you and Freya left."
" Why don't we just ask Freya to ask father why the sudden Kol needs to get married everyone knows Freya is the apple of fathers eye."
They all know that Freya is Mikael's favorite and Finn is Esther's favorite Finn is in Idris he didn't come. Kol can't keep still he is so angry with this mother " Kol you need to leave before you explode even more."
Kol knows that when he gets really super angry like right now no one is safe around him he goes to the one place that makes him feel safe " I'm going back to Davina's keep me informed what is going on here."
" Who's going to ask Freya to talk to Mikael."
Rebekah speaks up " I will."

As she's walking to Freya's room Esther is coming out of Freya's room " Rebekah I was just coming to find you."
Rebekah looks around there's no where for her to hide " Mother I heard you were back how's Idris?"
Esther looks at Rebekah who has her hair in a ponytail " Honestly Rebekah you should wear your hair down it looks much better and Idris is fine so is Finn."
Rebekah takes the ponytail holder out of her hair and her hair cascades down her her shoulders " Better I had it up while I was figuring what to wear tonight."
Esther looks at her youngest daughters dress a red v neck zipper down the front body con dress you can see all of Rebekah's runes on her skin " Dressed to impressed I see."
" The only person I have to impress is Stefan and he likes the way I dress."
Esther smoothing out her black dress " Yes about Stefan I had this talk earlier with Kol when are you two going to get married?"
" I don't know mother it will happen when it happens I'm not pressuring Stefan to get married now if you don't mind I was on my way to talk with Freya."

Rebekah walks into Freya's room and sees her older sister sitting at her desk talking with her husband Lucien " Freya can we talk?"
" Of course what's up Bekah."
Rebekah sits on the end of the bed " Have you heard Esther's plan having Bonnie Bennett come here and marry Kol we need you as fathers favorite to find out what is going on?"
Freya opens her mouth to say something when there father and Henrik walk into the room " No welcome home to your father."
Freya gets up and hugs her father " Helo father."
Mikael loves Freya more than his other six children " My beautiful Freya."
Rebekah behind Mikael's back gestures to herself when Mikael says that he ignored her and went right to Freya. Freya still hugging her father motions to Rebekah to just forget about it. " Come on Henrik lets leave them alone to catch up."
Mikael turns to Henrik " Henrik open up the grey book and learn your runes."

Kol walks in to Davina penthouse loft Davina was in her room getting ready to make an appearance at her club The Other Side when she sees Kol and snaps her fingers and a drink appears in Kol's hand he downs it in one sip. " I need another."
" What's wrong your aura is pulsing red."
Kol lets everything out from what his mother said to what his siblings are going to do " I just couldn't be there anymore,"
Davina hands him back the drink now full and sits on the arm of his chair " Arranged marriages I didn't think people still did that."
" Are you even listening to me?"
Davina smiles at him and rubs his neck " Yes I am."
Kol puts his hand on her bare leg " I told Nik when he was trying to calm me down that if you were a Shadowhunter I would marry you in an Instant."
Davina kisses his cheek " Let's do it lets get married."
" Darling I am in a range of moods right now don't tease me."
Davina stands up and entwines there fingers " I have been alive for over three hundred years and I have never felt what I feel for you I have never loved someone like I do you."
Kol is speechless it's been a roller coaster day he untwined there fingers and bends down on one knee Davina waves her hand over him and Kol finds he's in a suit " Davina Claire you are the love of my life and I will spend the rest of my life figuring out what you see in me will you marry me?"
Davina nods she sits on his his knee and kisses him " Yes I will marry you."
Kol is so happy right now Davina can turn his worst day into his best day " You can wear the Mikaelson ring until I get you a ring."
Davina moves her hand and blue sparks come out of it " Look behind you."
Kol looks behind and there are rows of rings on shelfs " You are amazing,"
Davina flips her hair off her shoulder " Thank you."
" Pick out a ring darling."
" We do it together."
They pick out a beautiful ring it has diamonds all around the base then a swirl of diamonds and a bigger diamond in the middle. They are heading to Davina's bedroom when Kol's phone rings he ignores it.
" It could be important."
"So is this."
"Kol see who it is I understand if you don't want to answer if it's your parents but what if it's your siblings."
Kol looks at the phone it's his mom " It's my mother."
He goes back to kissing Davina.

Katherine laughs " What did you?"
"Nothing."
Rebekah fixing her hair " He told me he started a fire with his stele."
Henrik turning around to his older sister " I was hungry I was trying to draw the nourishment rune."
Elijah looks down at his youngest brother " Henrik those two runes look nothing alike."
" Well they do to me."
Rebekah turns from her mirror "I talked to Freya she is talking to father I also talked with mother she basically gave me the same speech she gave Kol except it was when is Stefan going to propose I told her he will when he wants I'm not pressuring him now Stefan and I have a date to get to."

Freya comes into the room with some information " I have answers the clave thinks we went rogue and this has destroyed our family name so marrying Bonnie will help restore our name."
Lucien standing next to his wife and was the first one to marry a Mikaelson child " What destroyed the Mikaelson name?"
" It's because we helped Elena."
Caroline has her arms around Henrik who is in front of her " I knew that girl was nothing but trouble since we met her but Damon convinced us to help him."
" He also said that restoring the family name will take a tremendous sacrifice."
Katherine next to Elijah " What sacrifice?"
" I don't know he he didn't say but I'm guessing by all the information we have that the sacrifice is Kol."
Henrik is to young to understand what is going on he just wanted to be with his siblings he's missed them " I don't want to lose Kol."
Klaus and Elijah bend down so they're eye to eye with their little brother " We're not going to lose Kol." " I will make you a deal you study your runes and not create another fire and you can help with us."
Henrik smiles " Deal."
Klaus runs his hand through Henrik's hair messing it up " Good to have you back Henrik."

The sound of his phone rings wakes him up " Kol your phone has been ringing all night answer it before I magically throw it across the room."
Kol still laying on the bed with his eyes closed grabs his phone and answers it " Yes,"
Esther has been trying to reach Kol all night " Kol Mikaelson where are you get here in ten minutes."
Kol yawns " I'm not marrying that Bennett girl."
Esther slams her hand on a table " Kol we will discuss this when you get here."
Kol ends the call and puts his phone back on the nightstand " I have to go."
Kol rolls over and kiss Davina " You should come it'll be fun."
" I should meet my new mother in law."
"I can't wait to see Esther's face."
" I couldn't let my guy marry somebody else."

Kol and Davina enter the institute they are coming up the stairs when Esther sees them " Kol where have you been."
" Mother I have to tell you something."
Esther doesn't even notice Davina " You can tell me later Bonnie is arriving any minute I thought you would be back earlier so we could talk but wherever you were you took your time."
Kol bunches his hands into fists " MOTHER I'm not proposing to Bonnie I'm already engaged."
Esther was doing other things but now puts her full attention on Kol " Already engaged to who?"
Kol points to Davina and takes her hand to show his mother the ring " Mother this is Davina Claire my fiancé."
" The high witch of Manhattan."
Davina smiles she owns her title " The one and only."

The two run off in the direction of the scream both Esther and Bonnie look at each other.
Kol and Davina find Caroline in the middle of the main room being held back by Klaus and yelling at another blonde. " You bitch how dare you come in here and tell me my marriage is invalid I'm going to ki-"
Klaus puts his hand over Caroline's mouth and drags her away. "Kol get everyone to our room."

Once they're in their bedroom Klaus lets go of Caroline who is fighting him " -kill you bitch."
Klaus pulls Caroline into his chest " My love you need to calm down."
Caroline has got her breathing back to normal and has calmed down when the others come in " Caro what's wrong?"
Klaus brings Caroline over to the bed to sit " A representing from the clave arrived and told us that she is taking over and she said that my marriage to Nik is invalid and to make it valid she will marry Nik."
Just then the representative from the clave Cami comes barging into the room " Caroline Mikaelson you are under arrest for treason against the clave take her away."
The clave members behind Cami, Aurora and Tristan de Martel grab both of Caroline's arms and drag her out of the room she is kicking and screaming. Klaus goes after her " You can't do this."
