A quick A/N: I'm feeling utterly inspired today, so surprise! This is a two-chapter update, something I've never, ever done for this story. That's why the title of this chapter is named after only half the title of a Snow Patrol song. Enjoy while I finish up the next chapter, which will be up in a few minutes!


Bonnie had witnessed Kol helping Violet kill Elena, Silas killing Jeremy and Silas resurrecting two members of the Brotherhood of the Five from the other side of the veil. She knew that she had to stop Kol, Violet, Silas and the two hunters from causing any more damage to Mystic Falls, but she wasn't sure about how to do it when she was dead. Bonnie's Grams had tried to help Bonnie with the spell that she could do to stop Silas and the new witch in Mystic Falls, but the spell hadn't worked because Bonnie's own powers had turned against her and her Grams wasn't strong enough to do the spell on her own. She supposed that that was yet another consequence of tapping into three different types of magic at once to resurrect Jeremy for Elena, something that Bonnie was starting to regret doing now that Jeremy and Elena were both dead. She needed to find a way to stop Silas, Violet, Kol, Connor, Vaughn and the new hunter Ryan before all of her friends were slaughtered, and she had to find out why Elena hadn't shown up yet on the other side.


"I'll go after Alyssa," Silas said nonchalantly to the hunters, witch and Original on Wickery Bridge.

"That's not a good idea," Vaughn said.

"Sure it is. It won't take me as long as it would take the rest of you to get to New Orleans," Silas explained.

"She'll help us if you she wants to. Just leave her alone," Connor told him.

"Too late!" Silas exclaimed happily. He disappeared into thin air before anyone could try to stop him.

"I'll deal with him...as soon as I figure out what spell he used to disappear like that so that we can follow him to New Orleans," Violet said to the others.

"But he didn't use a spell," Kol told her.

"I know, but I've never seen anybody disappear like that before," Violet replied.

"How can we help?" Vaughn asked.

"You, Connor, Ryan and Kol can help me look for grimoires at Bonnie Bennett's house. I have some reading to do," Violet answered. The Original vampire, three hunters and witch started walking over to Bonnie's house without another word, though the silence was not uncomfortable for any of them. Ten minutes later, though, they saw someone they were not expecting to see again standing in the middle of the road, looking confused. The girl finally noticed them approaching when they were a few feet away from her and she frowned, agitated.

"Where am I?" Kol mirrored her frown and stared at her.

"You're still alive, Elena?" Elena's frown deepened a little and she glanced at both Kol and Violet as she slowly began to remember what had happened to her earlier that day. Elena snapped out of her haze of confusion and noticed Connor and Vaughn lingering around with Ryan behind Kol and Violet.

"Connor? Vaughn?" Elena questioned, befuddled once again at the sight of two previously dead hunters standing in front of her.

"Hello, Elena," Connor said.

"You're supposed to be dead. I killed you!" Elena exclaimed, unaware of how awkwardly silly her statement sounded until she said it aloud.

"I know and now I can return the favour," Connor said. He yanked a wooden stake out of the inside pocket of his jacket.


Meanwhile in New Orleans, Klaus was lying shirtless on his bed in his room at Marcel's house, staring at his cell phone's touch screen.

"Caroline hasn't text messaged me in a while," Klaus said offhandedly to Alyssa, who was sitting on the window seat of his room, reading a book. She didn't look up from the book she was reading.

"I'm not surprised. She's probably blocked your number so that she won't get another cell phone bill with a number that's in the thousands," she said. Klaus chuckled and got off his bed so that he could yank the book Alyssa was reading out of her hands.

"Hey!" Alyssa exclaimed when Klaus shut her book.

"Tell me that's not true," Klaus said as he tossed her book onto his bed.

"It probably is, hybrid. After all, she's not as rich as you are. Now put on a shirt," Alyssa told him as he loomed over her.

"Why?" Klaus asked.

"Because I don't want to see you shirtless," Alyssa replied.

"No," Klaus said. He leaned down to kiss her, but she shoved him away from her and got off of the window seat. She went over to Klaus's bed to pick up her book.

"I'm serious, Klaus," Alyssa said.

"But it's hot in here," Klaus said as innocently as he possibly could. Alyssa gave him a look that clearly said he wasn't fooling anyone with his fake innocence.

"Fine," he said reluctantly. Alyssa suddenly got a premonition that told her something was wrong in Mystic Falls. She frowned and started walking over to Klaus's bedroom door just as Klaus grabbed his shirt off the back of the chair he had draped it over.

"I'll be back," Alyssa said to Klaus as he tugged his shirt down over his head.

"Where are you going?" Klaus asked, curious about what she had suddenly felt. He knew her well enough to know when she had just had a premonition and when she had a vision.

"Mystic Falls," Alyssa said distractedly.

"Good idea. I'll go visit Caroline at that college she's attending. What was the name of that college again?" Klaus said cheerfully.

"Whitmore. You shouldn't follow me back to Mystic Falls yet, though," Alyssa said.

'Why not? I have nothing better to do but sit here and brood over the way Caroline has been treating me," Klaus said. Alyssa had to admit that he had a point.

"Okay, fine. You can come with me," she said. Klaus smiled and Alyssa teleported them both back to Mystic Falls.
