chapter 2
Team Elijah
Once every one had got their boxes they packed quickly and efficiently, Elijah having to force Rebekah to pack faster with the threat that he would take over if not, as they stood together Marcel was told to read out their riddle.
"I stand up tall and made of steel, with baguettes and garlic at my heel, the hunchbacks houses could see my head, I'm more well known then a certain bread, I love the colours red, white and blue. But obviously not as much as you, I am a marvel for all to see, thought by some I am a monstrosity, What am I" Marcel says looking up from the clue to find everyone's faces scrunched up in thought.
"what on earth" Rebekah says not any where close to getting it and follows Elena in folding her arms "what your looking for is the Eiffel Tower" Elijah says before bending and picking up the two Back packs and striding towards the exit with the others having to hurry up behind them.
Team Klaus.
"well whats the clue" Bonnie asks after following Klaus out of the hotel and into a car, after sitting in silence for what seemed like an eternity she had given up and with a loud sigh asked him.
With barely a look at her he answered "we are going to paris bonnie, the Eiffel tower to be exact" he says passing the note over to her.
Ignoring Damon's grumbling in the back of the car she looked at the note and found that he must be right it all clicking into place. "do you think that the others would of figured it out by now?" she asks hating the idea of Marcel any where near Rebekah.
"most likely" Damon and Klaus say their voices echoing of off each other.
"Whats new" Caroline asks coming into the room with a bottle of champagne and punnet of strawberries, Sliding easily into the space next to Kol.
"Klaus compelled the airport staff to say there wasn't any more space on the flight to Paris, Elijah has just found out that he has to wait till tomorrow for a flight to be available, and Elena had to calm him down" Kol says stealing one of her strawberries. "Why?" Caroline asks around a bite of the red fruit.
"because otherwise there would of been a very scared family that got to see his vampire face" "but he's so in control he wouldn't of let it slip so easily" she says confused "well Elijah likes to win, and he gets very agitated when things don't go the way he wants it to, any way what's are plan for this evening"
He asks her getting a shrug for an answer he decide to take it apon himself to plan their evening activities.
Paris, France.
Bonnie looked up at the beautiful tall structure finding it stealing her breath, Damon's impatient-ness breaking in her from the awe that is the Eiffel Tower.
"Witchy we don't have time we need to find the envelope" he snapped at her, Suppressing the urge to give him an aneurysm she settled for an eye roll before helping the others to search around the area.
"Found it!" Stefan shouts from his spot near one of the entrances and quickly running over to the others.
Reading it out loud to them what there challenge is " Hello our lovelies you have found me, are you ready for your first team challenge well here it is...".
"Do they have to be so-" "shh Damon" Bonnie says elbowing the raven haired Salvatore in the ribs.
"the challenge is to convince as many people you can to pronounce two team members man and man or wife and wife, Without the use of compulsion. Win extra points for getting 10 to do it within a 1 hour and win a night of lavishness at the London Marriott, Lose and its a trip to the youth hostel, Time begins when you have chosen your teams champions, Good luck , C. K, so who is it going to be" Stefan asks seeing Bonnie and Damon looking at him and Klaus Expectantly.
"no, no ,no- Oh come on" Stefan says wanting to do a Caroline move and throw his hands up in the air and shout 'Seriously'.
"Don't look at me brother, I'm not the one who likes the Hybrid" Damon says smirking at Klaus "Feelings are mutual Salvatore".
"Stefan think about it you two are brothers it would just be plain wrong and I can't do it so it only leavves you and Klaus, Because theres no way were gonna get Damon or Klaus to agree to do it other wise, Please" she asks looking at him pleadingly, With a heavy sigh he agrees and orders Klaus to follow him.
while Bonnie takes the Camera out of the team bag to film the progress.
"Aww, I just knew Klaus and Stef would get married before we did" the bubbly blonde says with a laugh watching the screen in front of her.
"I'm just waiting for the big bang" Kol says eager to see the Vampires reactions to there secret plan.
they watch the screens from the cctv live feeds of team B as well as the feed from the groups camera.
Klaus and Stefan have so far not had anyone announce them married and have been consistantly turned down, in various forms.
One older bald gentleman told them to burn in hell in scandanavian that had Klaus threatening to send him there early, which had Caroline praying he didn't and Kol laughing causing their bowl of popcorn to spill onto the floor.
an older lady refused because she 'no speak' in her words.
at the moment they were busy looking for a next target, "they're not" "oh I think they are darling" Kol says cutting her off, as Kol reaches for the remote Caroline speaks her voice filled with disbelief "A nun!"
"Is he" Damon asks voicing the question that was going through Bonnie's mind too.
"Klaus no she" Stefan starts saying but its too late they're already standing in front of the old lady dressed in a habit, Klaus announcing their presence by a small cough which has the nun turning on her axis to face them, "Yes, are you in need of assistance young man" she asks in a sweet grandmotherly voice
"Yes, you may be able to help us." he starts with a charming smile while bonnie and Damon walk a little closer not in need of their super hearing.
"You see me and My wonderful husband here has not long gotten over a blood dysfunction and I had promised him that if he did beat his impairment that we would find some one of good faith and have them witness our vows to one an other and have them pronounce us again" he says making Damon laugh a little to loudly and has the trio turning in the pairs direction for a brief moment.
Back to acting he then wraps an arm securely around Stefan's shoulder "I know your faith does not believe in our commitment to each other but if you could do us the honour of it, we would very much be in your debt, For you must know how strong a bond a promise can bring" Klaus says even playing the part by looking into Stefan's eyes before glancing back at the Nun.
Every one held their breath even a few onlookers who had over heard his speech and had started to gather around, while they waited for the nun to speak.
she smiled a kind honest smile before her voice rose coming out firm and clear to everyones ears, "sons I worship a god who worships love in any kind, and i would be happy to do you this kindness, for it would be a dishonour for any one with love held in their hearts, please join hands" after the initial shock the pair quickly faced each other "join hands"
"Do you -" "Klaus Mikealson" Klaus fills in for her earning a small smile from the nun " do you Klaus Mikealson take - " "Stefan Salvatore Ma'am" Stefan says quickly his voice stilled filled with shock.
"Do you Klaus Mikealson take Stefan Salvatore, To have and to hold , In sickness and In health As long as you both shall live", "I do" he says with a tight fake smile.
"And do you Stefan Salvatore take Klaus Mikealson-" she was cut off by Stefan's Quick ' I do' but just laughed lightly along with the growing crowd "with the love from my heart I happily pronounce you husband and husband" The nun says with a smile before leaning in and embracing them both in a warm hug.
As they where hugging the nun a loud noise caught everyones attention, their eyes snap up to the screen that used to be broadcasting French news was now a shot of the three of them surrounded in a pink heart frame.
Bonnie felt the vibration in her pocket and was quick to pull the phone out and read the text "Klaus you have to kiss Stefan to win an extra clue" Bonnie said whispering lowly knowing his hybrid hearing would pick it up, the low growl wasnt already the confirmation then what he did next was.
Surprising Stefan Klaus quickly leaned into him and placing a brief kiss onto the Salvatore's smiling lips. A round of clapping went around and it seemed like everyone had stopped to watch the vampire and Hybrid kiss.
"Oh- oh-" Kol said around his roar of laughter that his blonde companion was partaking in too, Both of them falling over each other trying to keep their ribs from breaking.
"that was priceless" he eventually managed to get out.
"More like amazing" Caroline says wiping a tear from her cheek. "Elijah's teams just got to the Eiffel tower" she says noticing them on the screen.
"je l'ai dit non merci", Rebekah growled and turned away, Grabbing Elena's hand and walking fast paced over to her brother, "This isn't working" she says once she gets infront of Marcel and Elijah.
"It doesn't matter we are out of time" Marcel says "cheers for that by the way" he says before turning his back on the girls,
"so we failed" Elena says "what happens now" She asks looking at her husband, "We go to the address we've been given and wait for our next clue" Elijah says linking hands and offering his sister the crook of his elbow, which she ignores and starts walking ahead.
Meanwhile...
Above the travelling group , Klaus's team are relaxing in the Premier suite Damon laid across one of the living rooms comfortable cream sofa's sipping a 50 year old vintage, While Klaus reclined in a arm chair sketching.
"Ew! Damon" Bonnie says throwing her arms across her face, "Brother seriously sit up, nobody wants to see that" Stefan says as he comes further into the room pushing the room service trolley ,
Damon roll's his eyes and begrudgingly sraightens up so he's not showing his crown jewels to every one in the room. "There closed witchy no need to be prudish about it" he says recieving a glare from Bonnie.
"we got are clues, as well as the food, what do you want first" Stefan says to Klaus who has been silently listening to the whole thing, Lifting his eyes from the sketch of Caroline, Klaus looks at the trio "clues first" he says then looks at them to see who would be the first to open the white envelope.
With an eye roll Bonnie plucks the card out of the ripped envelope and starts to read...
" Hello darlings well done for your superb performance today you won your first challenge and have been rewarded with your first prize, Inside the envelope is an object, Don't try to geuss what it is because it is only a small peice taken from a larger one, That you will be able to make once you have collected all the pieces to win the hunt, Now enough of that congrats on the wining the extra task you have been given an extra clue to help you move on to your next challenge as always good luck C,K." Bonnie sighs and pulls out an strange triangular object and passes it to Stefan to see as she flips the card over to read the clues.
"Okay huh" "whats huh for bonnie " Stefan asks looking at her while Damon flips the object over into his palm "You'll find the next envelope when you find me, To help you figure it out here's a list of things that can help you, TEA, Nutcracker soldiers, kings and queens," Bonnie scrunches up her eyebrows before a sigh leaves her mouth and she continues.
" The originals saw it built in 1703 and often spent some time in it charming royalty and diplomats" at that everyone turns to Klaus who in turn asks to see the card "I think it means that were going to..."
