Quetsiyah watched from a distance as the two witches approached the Michelson brothers. She needed all four of them if her plan to get Klaus's help was to work. She knew that Henrick would be useful in keeping both Esther and Kol under control. Bonnie, on the other hand, would be a challenge. Sure she wanted to make up for not supporting Caroline in the past but watching her at this moment she could tell how uncomfortable she was with the originals. It would not take much to change her mind and that could destroy her whole plan. Klaus was the only being capable of taking on Silas. He was the only one who could defeat the believed immortal.
Kol stepped in front of Henrick as soon as he realized Esther was one of the people walking towards them. He stared at his mother not making any attempt to hide the contempt he felt for her. " There is no need for you to come any closer Mother."
"Excuse me Kol but if you think I am not going to stay as close to Henrick as I possibly can you are mistaken."
"Ok then consider this as close as you can get to him because there is on way I am going to let you anywhere near him."
"Excuse me and who do you think you are telling me how close I can get to my own son?"
"Oh Mother you remember me I'm one of your five children you attempted to kill. You do recall that don't you Mother you lied to us pretending that you wanted a fresh start with all of us. Only that was not the truth you and Finn were plotting against us in attempt to kill all of us and every vampire ever created."
"Yes, I remember that all to well my son. I recall you promising that you would behave yourself only you didn't did you? If I recall correctly you broke the hand of your sisters date and then you tried to kill him."
"That is enough" Quetsiyah commanded " you are all here to help someone you care about and in order to do that everyone must work together."
Bonnie had to keep telling herself this was for Caroline she had to find a way to work with Kol to help her friend. "What exactly is this plan of yours and why do you need them?" Bonnie asked pointing at Kol and Esther.
"Excuse me darling but why exactly are you here?" Kol said "You do realize this does not involve your little friend Elena right?"
Bonnie looked directly into Kol's eyes "What is that suppose to mean?"
"Was I not clear witch? This has nothing to do with your precious doppelgänger. From what I observed of you and your friends everything you do seems to revolve around poor Elena." Kol glared at Bonnie he knew she was in on the plot that took his life.
"I'm here for Caroline although after spending a few minutes with you I'm beginning to reconsider why I thought this would be a good idea in the first place." Bonnie said
"Now there is the witch I know. Yes ,why would you want your friend to be with the man who loves her above everything else? Why would you want her to finally be someones first choice? Kol yelled back
"First of all you know nothing about me. Second of all you know nothing about Caroline. So once again I find myself questioning what I am doing here." Bonnie said
"Your here because you know Caroline feels something for Niklaus and for once I thought you were going to show her the same type of support you have shown your friend Elena" Henrick said. He knew from watching Caroline that she cared about what her friends thought and if she believed she would lose all of her friends she would never give Niklaus a chance.
Bonnie looked down at Henrick once again he reminded her of why she had agreed in the first place to help. Caroline was always there for them even when Elena choose to give Damon a change Caroline eventually excepted it and supported Elena. It didn't matter how she felt about Klaus or Kol for that mattered what mattered was what Caroline felt. Bonnie once again looked at Quetsiyah "I'll ask again what is the plan and what do you need from us?"
"First things first Bonnie I need to have you each cross over. None of you will be able to help if your family and friends can't see or hear you." answered Quetsiyah
It was Esther who spoke up first "And how exactly do we go about doing that? If it was simple every witch on this side of the veil would have crossed back over by now."
"Well that's just it for any witch it is not that simple but for me the person who created this place it is. I have domain over my creation Esther. Bringing Kol , Bonnie, and you back will be simple Henrick will take some help." said Quetsiyah
"But you will be able to bring him back" Kol asked nervously.
"Yes, Kol with Bonnie's and Esther's help I will" Quetsiyah looked at Henrick as she spoke "First I will bring them back I will have to leave you alone here for a little while once my spell is complete The three of us will use our combined powers to bring you over ok Henrick?"
"I'll be fine. I have been alone for over one thousand years must I stay here or can I go check on the rest of my family while I wait." Henrick asked
"I'm sorry Henrick but I will need you to stay put"
"No worries I will be here waiting." Henrick said giving both Kol and his mother a reassuring smile.
Quetsiyah began to chant "Redditus his ego vitam donare tress animae alter locus. Redditus his ego vitam donare tress animae alter locus. Redditus his ego vitam donare tress animae alter locus."
Henrick watched as Quetsiyah, Bonnie, Kol, and Esther disappeared from sight leaving him alone. He was glad to have a few moment to himself. He needed time to process the events of the day. He had finally been able to spend time with one of his siblings. Seeing Kol was amazing he had never imagined he would see any of them again. He was not only going to be able to see them all again he was going to be given the opportunity to help them. Quetsiyah had said that if he helped her she would grant him what he wanted most which simply was to help his family to be happy. Henrick would not just help Niklaus no he planned on helping Elijah, Kol, and Rebecca as well and he already knew he would get to help him in his endeavors.
As Quetsiyah began to chant Bonnie's entire body began to tingle she looked towards Henrick one moment he was there and the next he was gone. Bonnie looked around and immediately recognized the falls. Had Quetsiyah really just brought them back and that easily? "That's it?" she asked.
"I already told you bring the three of you back would be easily its bringing Henrick back that will require more magic."
"Well, let's go ladies begin chanting and bring him back now." Kol ordered.
Bonnie was about to snap at him but then she saw the desperation in his eyes. She could tell he was scared that Quetsiyah would not be able to deliver on her promise of bringing Henrick back. It then occurred to Bonnie that Esther had probably tried to save him with her magic one thousand years ago and been unsuccessful. Bonnie looked at Quetsiyah and asked " Is there anything we need for the spell?"
"No we just need to make a pentagram and stand inside of it with our hands joined. The spell to bring Henrick over is quite similar to the one I used for you. I must warn you however the spell will take a great deal of power and you will feel quite drained afterwords."
It was Esther who spoke up this time "Lets get started please. I don't want him to be alone any longer. He has been alone far to long as is."
"I never thought I would say this but I agree with Esther. I"m ready to begin as well." Bonnie said
Quetsiyah found a stick and drew the pentagram in the dirt. The three witches entered the circle and joined hands. Quetsiyah began "et huic quidem redditus vitae donare casto alter locus." Both Esther and Bonnie joined in "Et huic quidem redditus vitae donare casto alter locus. Et huic quidem redditus vitae donare casto alter locus" As they began to chant Bonnie entire body felt like it was on fire. It took all of her will to continue. "Et huic quidem redditus vitae donare casto alter locus" they said once more.
Bonnie could feel the blood dripping from her nose she was not sure if she could continue much longer. She found the will to say the spell one last time "Et huic quidem redditus vitae donare casto alter locus" just before Bonnie passed out she heard Kol say Henrick's name.
Bonnie woke up in an unfamiliar room. Where the hell was she and how did she get here? She got of the huge bed she had been lying in and quietly headed for the door. She walked down the hallway to the staircase and headed down. When she was about halfway down the stairs she saw Kol.
"I thought you were never going to wake up witch" Kol said while giving her that signature Michelson smirk.
"Where are we and how did we get here?" Bonnie asked
"Where at Klaus's home and I brought you here after you passed out." He answered
"Where is everyone else?"
"Quetsiyah left to run some errands and my mother and Henrick are still resting."
"How long was I out for?"
"About 6 hours its seems Quetsiyah wasn't lying when she said it would require a lot of magic. To be totally honest I wasn't sure you were going to be able to complete the spell or survive it."
Just then Bonnie heard footsteps behind her she turned around to see Esther approaching them.
"Hello again Ms. Bennett glad to see you have recovered."
"Yes and you can call me Bonnie." Bonnie turned to Kol and asked "Do you know how long Quetsiyah will be?"
"She left about an hour ago and said she wouldn't be long. Something about retrieving something that had been locked away by Silas." He responded.
As if she was aware they were talking about her Quetsiyah walked in the front door. "Where is Henrick it is time to discuss how we are going to go about getting the two lovebirds together."
"He is still resting" Esther said
"I'll get him" Kol said "He's actually been up for some time I can hear him moving around the room"
A few moment later Kol returned with Henrick. Bonnie couldn't help but notice how different he looked. When she had seen him on the other side he had worn the clothes he had probably died in now he was wearing a blue t-shirt, jeans and a pair of sneakers. She also noticed that his hair had been cut short she couldn't help but notice that out of all the originals Henrick resembled Klaus the most. As if he was able to read her mind Henrick said "Kol thought I needed to update my look."
Bonnie looked at Kol and noticed how caring he was with the younger Michelson. When Kol was with Henrick she didn't see the murderous vampire that had tried to kill Matt the night of the Michelson ball nor could she see the psychopath that threatened her in the hallways of her high school. No right now all she could see was an older brother who was simply happy to have the opportunity to spend some time with his little brother once again. The sound of Quetsiyah"s voice pulled Bonnie from her thoughts.
"The first thing we must do is get Caroline to admit that she is has feelings for Klaus." Quetsiyah looked directly at Esther as she spoke. "She has denied her feeling for him since the beginning. She needs someone to help her understand what it is she feels for him and the importance that their bond holds for both of them."
Bonnie noticed how Quetsiyah looked at Esther while she was speaking and this made her very uneasy. "What does she know about how Caroline feels and what do you mean by their bond?" Bonnie feared the answer to her own question.
"They are mates" said Esther "destined to love one another. They have been drawn to each other from the first time they have met and no matter how hard your friend tries to ignore how she feels those feelings will only grow stronger. I know this Bonnie because I was blessed enough in my lifetime to have been someones mate. I know what it is like to have someone love you with their entire being to have someone willing to put your needs above their own. When a wolf is blessed enough to find his mate there is nothing on this earth that they will not do for them.
Bonnie didn't know what to think was Esther really trying to convince her that Klaus and Caroline were soul mates. Sure Bonnie had noticed how Klaus treated Caroline differently but could he actually be her soul mate? It was Quetsiyah's voice that brought her out of her thoughts.
"Yes, Bonnie what Esther says is true they are mates that is why she has such a profound effect on him. Think about it do you honesty believe that Klaus did not know Caroline was playing the little blond distraction for you and your friends? The simple fact of the matter is he didn't care it was an opportunity to be around her. If it had been anyone else attempting to deceive him how do you think he would have responded?"
"Oh please let me answer that question" Kol said "Nik would have tortured then killed them. Nik really has a gift for torture"
"Kol you are not helping" Henrick snapped " Bonnie I understand you don't like Niklaus in the last thousand years he has changed from the brother I once knew however when he is around Caroline he allows his humanity to resurface. Please don't get me wrong I know he will never be the person he once was but she makes him better than he now is. "
"What my son says is true Bonnie. When my children were human before I turned them Niklaus was the kindest of them all. All he ever wanted was to be loved and I failed him. I thought that if I showed him indifference then maybe Michael wouldn't realize he wasn't his that maybe he would just ignore him and leave him alone. I was wrong a part of Michael must have always known that Niklaus was not his son possibly because he was such a kind child. Niklaus was always aware of the fact that his father would punish him more severely then any of his siblings but he would always take the blame for whatever it was Michael thought they did just to protect them. When he made his first kill and Michael had proof he was not his son he originally wanted to kill him I was able to convince him to just bind his werewolf side however I believe it was that betrayal that caused Niklaus to shut off his emotions for the first time. Add to that being hunted down by the man you spent your whole life believing was your father, well how could he have turned out any differently."
"So who was Nik father? I take it he was your mate and not Michael" Kol questioned. It was something that he and his siblings had wondered about for centuries.
Esther looked at Kol and then Henrick "Eirik" She could tell from the stunned look on both their faces they remembered him.
"Your telling me that Nik's father was Eirik the leader of the other village." Kol was shocked he remembered seeing Eirik come around their village quite often as a child come to think of it now he remembered him usually coming when Michael was away hunting or taking care of some town business. Just like that everything made sense how had none of them ever realized this before?
"He was alway nice when he came around" Henrick said "I remember him visiting a few times he always seemed a little said though.
"Yes well he knew I could never leave Michael not without losing the rest of my children so he agreed to take what I could give him. I think what hurt them most was not getting to know Niklaus and…" before Esther could finish her sentence Quetsiyah interrupted her.
"I do believe we have a plan to discuss." she said " Now as I was saying we need to get Caroline to realize how she is in love with Klaus"
"Right so I guess that's where I come in." Bonnie said
"No, Bonnie not just yet. I will need you to reassure her that she will still have her friends after she chooses to follow her heart. No it will be Esther's job to get Caroline to admit her feelings." Quetsiyah said
"What?" everyone asked in unison
"Esther you are the only one who truly understands what Caroline is feeling. You are the only one who knows that what she feels is real and everlasting." Quetsiyah said
"Well that's brilliant I'm sure Caroline will welcome a conversation with my mother" Kol said sarcastically.
"Of course not that is why Esther will have to Kidnap Caroline." Quetsiyah said.
Bonnie was the first to speak. "That's your brilliant plan have Esther kidnap Caroline. Are you freaking kidding me?"
"How else will we get Caroline to listen to Esther she certainly won't willingly have a conversation with her as Kol has already pointed out. The last time Caroline saw Esther she was trying to put an end to her own children."
"So you think if I force her to go somewhere with me she listen? That does not sound like a sold plan to me." Esther said.
"You will make her listen Esther. With the Help of Kol you will find Caroline and take her the caves under the Lockwood estate. I have placed a spell on it so that there are only three who may enter." Quetsiyah replied
" Fine and what am I going to to do why Mother and Caroline bond?" Kol asked
"I never said you were one of the three that could enter the caves Kol"
Caroline woke up in Tyler's arms she should have been content. After months of waiting for him to return she should have been happy. Problem number one even with Tyler back she still felt as if something was missing. She thought back to last night opening the door and seeing him in front of her holding flowers. She was so surprised she threw her arm around him and kissed him. Problem number two while she was kissing Tyler she was thinking of a different hybrid. Caroline had quickly ended the kiss and put the flowers in some water. She was not going to do this there was no way she was going to think of Klaus at this moment she was in love with Tyler and he was here in front of her. Once she turned back towards him things had quickly escalated and they ended up in bed.
"Good morning beautiful" Tyler said
Caroline looked up at him and smiled instead of feeling happy she felt sick to her stomach. Tyler leaned in and kissed her and Caroline Quickly pulled away.
"Hey whats wrong Care?"
"Nothing I'm just hungry. I"m going to go get us something to eat." Caroline replied.
"Don't be silly I'll go with you?
Caroline needed some time to her self so she put on her best fake smile and said "No you won't I am going to get breakfast and serve it to you in bed. No arguing do you understand me Tyler?'
"Well when you put it that way how can I refuse?" Tyler said "And after breakfast I'll have to find a way to show you how grateful I am."
Caroline used her vamp speed to quickly get dressed and headed out the door. All she could think about was when had her feelings changed for Tyler. Three months ago she would have never left him in bed alone now she couldn't leave fast enough. Instead of being happy to have him back she wondered if what they had in high school had been real or just sex. What was wrong with her? Caroline was so deep in thought that she had not noticed the women approaching her until it was too late.
"Hello Caroline dear" Esther said
If Caroline hadn't been dead her heart would have been racing. In front of her stood Klaus's mother. "Your supposed to be dead."
"Yes well I'm back and I'm going to need you to come with me dear."
Caroline turned to run and ran right into Kol. Before she could say another word her entire world went dark.
