The Spell

The sun rays were coming through the partially open curtains, falling on the embraced couple that slept peacefully on the big king sized bed. The man had short dirty blond curls, and his plush blood-red lips were curled in a soft smile. His hands were tightly embracing a woman sleeping next to him in a protective manner. A blonde beauty indeed. Her long blond tresses were softly and carelessly spread across her lover's naked chest. Slowly a woman started to stir and woke up from her dream..

"Good morning my love." Said the man, placing a soft kiss first on her forehead and then on her inviting lips. She kissed him back in an instant. Even after all these years the kiss was still like no other. Full of passion and love.

"Good morning Nik." She looked at him with her big blue – green eyes and put her arms around his neck, pushed him on his back and carefully straddled him. She kissed him again not being able to resist the feel of him. His hands lowered from her thin waist to her curvy hips. He pulled her closer to him never breaking the kiss. Suddenly a knocking sound rang through the room. Caroline reluctantly pulled away from the kiss and smiled sweetly at Nik's annoyed face. "Real world calling Nik."

"Then let it go to the voicemail because we are not home sweetheart."

"I know you are awake Nik I can hear both you and Caroline, let me in."

"Come in dear sister." His words were followed by the slow opening of the doors. Rebekah came trough. "Are you both decent?" She asked keeping her hand across her eyes, seeing them once in their throws of passion was enough for her. "Yes Bekah we are." Caroline's words were accompanied with Klaus' low mumbling of something along the lines "Unfortunately you didn't give us time to get indecent."

"Oh Nik calm down, I'll repay it to you tonight" Caroline put her hand on his cheek and gave him a soft peck on the lips.

"Please stop you two, I'm still in the room do it when you are alone." Rebakah yelled putting her hand back on her eyes.

"Well sister dear, we would be doing it alone if you haven't graced us with your presence. Now tell me what is so important that you had to ruin our fun so early in the morning?"

He was getting a little frustrated. Don't get him wrong, he loved all his siblings, especially Bekah. But sometimes a man just needs a little bit of private time with his wife.

"Well, as I was trying to inform you before I was scarred for life by your PDA, Bonnie found a way to rid us of Silas, Tyler and his whole army. We are having family meeting downstairs. So if you would be so kind as to join us. " Klaus looked worried and unconsciously pulled Caroline a little bit closer to him.

"We'll be down in 10, get everyone."

"OK Nik and Caroline wear that cute blue top I bought you." That was Rebekah for you, she was thinking about fashion even in the most horrifying times.

After she got out, Caroline turned back to Klaus giving him her biggest smile. "Everything will be alright Nik, you'll see, Bonnie found a solution. Soon our family will be safe."

"I hope you are right my love I just don't know what would I do if something happened to you or Lizzie." He told her with so much worry in his voice but at the same time with so much love in his eyes.

When they finally got in the living room they were greeted with the usual sight. Preteens and teens were sitting around the living room, discussing something of apparently great importance to them. Viola, Emily, Grace and Sam were practicing magic. Bonnie decided that it was time for the kids to learn magic so that they could defend themselves. It also helped that all of her and Mikaelson's grimoares were scattered around the whole house, just waiting to be opened. Seconds later John and Lizzie came from somewhere in the house, both red in face, with Lizzi's eyes looking at her shoes. They took their seats with their cousins.

"Great we are all here now, I can start." Bonnie stood up from her place next to Kol and started speaking. "As you all Know, Silas is getting stronger by day, it didn't help that with him being the oldest witch on the planet he was already stronger than most of the witches to begin with. Also, Tyler's army is getting bigger and stronger so at this point in time we can do nothing about those two problems." Bonnie looked around the room, scanning the faces of her family for any reaction. Fortunately for her Damon was there too. "So what are you saying Witchy? That we can just sit and wait for our killers to come through the doors and start getting rid of us?"

"I will not allow it. You said you had an answer!" Klaus said furiously. "All my life I have been at least two steps ahead of my enemies. I won't lose now! " Caroline put her hand soothingly on his back, his tension and anger immediately receding. Kol brought Bonni's hand in his, giving her his support and love. "Nik, stop screaming at my wife and let her finish. Both of you." His eyes catching Damon's, sending him his silent warning. Even after all these years the Original and the oldest Salvatore still didn't see eye to eye with each other.

"You are right Klaus. There is no way for us to defeat them now. They are simply too strong even for our family. But there is a way. And that way leads to the past." They all looked dumbfounded at the petite witch, all eyes in the room staring at her. "Bonnie, what do you mean when you say past?" The eldest Original finally voicing his thoughts. "What I mean is, how familiar are you all with time travel spells? " "Bonnie the time travel spell is just a myth. And trust me I would know, I have travelled and lived with a Bennett witch for too many years to not to know mostly everything about spells and magic."

"Katherine is right." Said Rebekah "Although I did hear about a man who travelled back once. It was in the middle of the 16th century. A New World was discovered by Columbus and after his discovery all of the biggest European countries were trying to find a new source of wealth because the new lands weren't representing only land but an unimaginable source of new materials, food and gold. "

"Yes, yes Original Barbie we all know the history. Soon all of the european kings had their own little playground, what does it have with the time travel spell?" Damon asked with his usual smirk but was greeted with Rebekah's ice-cold glare. "I'm getting to it. And don't think that just because you are now my brother-in-law I won't hurt you. The bear traps are safely stored in the basement." She answered him with a smirk of her own, while all he could do was scoff. A whole room had a smile on their faces. Threatening Damon is sort of a sport in the Mikaelson family. "So to continue. Most of the land was occupied by the king of Spain, but he wanted the richest of them, a land that is now Mexico. The story of El Dorado is partially true, but the first to discover it was an Englishman, not a Spanish conquistador. So a king of Spain decided that, since the England didn't want to sell him or trade with him for Mayan land, and a war wasn't an option, he will find a witch that will give it to him. The only way for that was to go back in time so that a first flag on the Mayan land was a Spanish flag. He accomplished that and came back unharmed. The catch was that a time travel spell could be performed only once on each person, and a witch that would cast it could only cast it once but on unlimited number of people." During her storytelling everybody was sitting still and keeping quiet. Then Bonnie broke the silence.

"Now you all know what I'm planning to do. Somebody has to go to the past and stop Silas before he gets his powers back. The only question is who? " Everybody looked around the room. They all knew that they have to choose wisely because they can't be left unprotected in this time, and they have to take care of the children. Stefan spoke up. "I think that Caroline and Elena should go. They are the youngest and weaker than the rest of us. They can also infiltrate without a big problem because they are most trustworthy and therefore have a greater chance of earning our trust in the past. If we send an Original or Katherine it will be useless."

Klaus sat there next to Caroline, absorbed in his thoughts. If he let Caroline go back she will be safe, he won't have to protect her and she will be OK. But at the same time he couldn't part with her. How much did they really know about this spell? They only knew a story which could be real, but at the same time it could be just a legend after all Rebakah never said that the man came back to the future. His eyes drifted to Damon. The look in his eyes mirroring that in Klaus. Despite their differences, Klaus and Damon were very similar. Both looked down upon by their fathers, both keeping their siblings safe despite the pain they caused them, both helplessly in love with the women who were so much better than them. But at the same time both loved by those same beautiful women. They knew what they had to do. "The spell will be performed. But you have to make sure everything is safe for them and that no harm will come to them. Can you guarantee us that they will be able to come back and how?"

"You have my word Klaus, they are my best friends, I won't let anything happen to them. They will get back. I'll spell an opal necklace, it will bring them both back together with anyone go goes with them to the past. It is a spell specific charm. Thus it will only work for that one time travel spell I do that one time." With that being said Klaus stood from his seat pulling Caroline along. She followed him without a word, knowing his inner struggle, knowing that if the roles were reversed she would be just as scared for him.

A month has passed, and everyone was slowly going crazy. Everything was prepared for the spell, they just had to wait for a full moon which is tonight in just a few hours.

The main entrance was violently opened and a shocked Elijah came trough carrying a week body of one Kol Mikaelson. Bonnie rushed to them telling Elijah to put her husband on the couch. She slumped down next to him, holding his hand tighter than she ever thought possible, pleading him to open his mesmerizing dark brown eyes that she loved so much. Stefan and Klaus came in.

"What is going on here?" His eyes were looking at Kol's nearly lifeless body.

"Elijah, tell me now!"

"They are dead. Silas killed Elena and Damon, the only reason why Kol isn't dead yet is that he is an Original and few centuries older than them so it takes longer for the spell to take hold on him."

In the corner sat John with Lizzie, she immediately took hold of his hand trying to comfort him with her soothing touch and softly whispered words of better time. Bonnie's eyes were filled with tears, watching Kol's that were slowly opening.

"Well that was fun, remind me to never again go to the crazy witch's layer." He coughed, spitting blood, Bonnie quickly used Elijah's handkerchief to wipe the blood from his face. Her silent sobbing has now turned to full blown waterfall, blurring her vision.

"Everything will be OK Kol, I'll save you, just let me go get my grimoire, I won't let you die on me". She stood up to go to the bookshelves to collect her grimoire but a hand caught her carefully by her wrist. Kol pulled her back to him intertwiningtheir fingers and bringing them to his lips. He placed a soft kiss on her warm caramel skin.

"Don't cry darling. And don't use your strength, you have to perform a time travel spell and it has to be done right. Remember that if it goes by as planed we are all going to be safe and sound because nothing of this will ever happened." Bonnie just gave him a little nod, whispering so that only he could hear.

"I love you Kol, forever." She placed a warm kiss on his cold but responsive lips.

"I love you too my beautiful little witch. Take care of yourself and our little angels." With that he closed his eyes and fell in a permanent peaceful sleep. Bonnie sat next to his dead body, not being able to part with him. Suddenly Katherine came running in the room.

"We are under attack! Tyler is here with his army along with Silas. They came to kill us all."

Klaus took hold of Caroline. "Take the children and Bonnie and go to our bedroom, wait till the full moon rises and do the spell, take the children to the past with you. That is the only way to keep them, Bonnie and yourself safe."

"Klaus be careful I don't know what I would do without you. "

"Hopefully you will never have to find out my love. Now go and take care of yourself and Lizzie." He kissed her, and she kissed him back with so much love but at the same time uncertainty.

"I love you Klaus." With that, she vampirespeed to gather round all nine children and Bonnie. They rushed to her and Nik's bedroom, locking the door and putting a protective spell around it.

"The moon is almost full, I'll start the spell." Caroline took hold of her daughter. The last thing they all heard were Silas' acid words "There is nothing you can do, it is over you all die tonight." In seconds the room was enveloped in bright light. Caroline felt a pull at her stomach, her last thoughts were on Nik and their goodbye kiss and then everything went black.
