A/N: Sorry for the unintended and lengthy hiatus, it's very difficult getting to a place with a connection, and it almost gave me a bit of writers block. But anyway, I feel like I owe you all at least three or five chapters, so what Imma do is, I'm going to give you all this stand-alone chapter first, and then these next ones in parts in One Whole chapter.

And brace yourselves because y'all know how long the chaps are when I write em' but, uh yes, the chapters that would have been solo chapters will be in one chapter but in parts-hope that's not confusing (my silly self lol) enjoy this chapter and then get ready for the parts,(and thanks for the follows, favs, and reviews they help! So keep em comin' you can get around to it) when I'm done writing them and firguring them out. Hope you all are having a great year so far-I know... i'm late saying it.

Thanks for being soooo very patient with me and my (late, late, late) updates thanks a bill, [and those that's been with me from the start thanks a lot] hope you are still interested. If not, can't blame ya'….

-The Wind Blows and The Sky Shudders- chapter 11-

Wednesday arrived with a calm and quiet mood. Klaus, Bonnie, and Kendra were all knocked out in the suite they were sharing. Bonnie was wrapped up on Klaus' back as he had her thighs. High schools were closed for a development day thing, leaving it to make for a very lax day. Damon was at his hotel surrounded by quests from the night before all lying around him, waking to wash. He threw them out and got dressed; he left out and onward to Black Ice.

Bonnie had gotten up first. She sat at the edge of the bed and gazed on at her sleeping hybrid. Now that she had him back with her she couldn't help but feel this sexual urgency flow through her. The night of that confrontation she pleased him with some release but she refused him, because then, she just wasn't ready at all-she still had reservations with Klaus. But now she didn't feel so abstinent, all that yearn and hurt for him made her want him badly in the physical way.

So she would give herself to him soon. But she'd long continue on to torture herself until that very near day came. She got some leggings out of her bag along with a white cotton sweater, turning the shower on almost hot. She undressed out her old dirty clothes and stepped in, the warm droplets crashed against her in the best ways cleaning away all the grim and negative emotions that racked her body. Kendra had woken up and she was ordering some breakfast from room service, she popped her head in the bathroom, "What'd you like for breakfast?" you could sense the smile in her voice, "Uh, whatever you're getting...no, surprise me!" washing her hair now, "Okaaaayy." Klaus seemingly sleeping.

She finished up and began stepping out of the shower but flinching at a hybrid staring deviously at her. She covered up knowing how wanton she was feeling around him, refraining from any sexy flirting. She wrapped the large towel tightly around her form and looked up at him; he hugged her and brushed his cool lips across her warm forehead. He could feel her brows furrow, "What's wrong?" Bonnie asked head on his chest.

"Nothing, just taking in the beauty, is all." she took her hand in his and led him back into the room. Unintentionally getting dressed in front of him, he turned his head though reluctant. He sat on the edge of the bed as she finished dressing, she came and sat right next to him and cocked her head, "Go ahead and feed. If you need to," he looked at her neck first, then her, "How'd you know I was hungry?" fangs slipping out, "When you haven't fed, your eye twitches," she looked rubbing his thigh, "Really?" he stopped nibbling on his bottom lip and moved over to her neck.

"Yes, I've only noticed it three times so far but it's enough to make that assumption," hand on his chin, "Now c'mon and bite me wolf boy." he lunged gently into her carotid and wrapped his arms around her laying her back. Even that was too much for her, it made her loins tighten, and it really didn't help that she could feel how hard he was. He pulled back licking away the escaped blood from his mouth and stared at Bonnie with seduction, then looked down at his clothes and back at her, "I feel I may need to shower as well," Bonnie jokingly pinched her nose laughing, face brushing hers and hands on thighs, when a knock came on their room door.

"Bonnie! Room service! I've got a surprise for you." Bonnie hopped up and went out to the food cart Kendra was standing next to. Kendra pointed to her covered meal and smiled. Bonnie opened it and looked at Kendra, "Ew! Liver and onions?" looking at her with an uneasy stare, "You said surprise you." Bonnie shook her head, "I did. Touché." and put the lid back on. She re-ordered and ate a regular breakfast, Klaus left to go pay for the flat.

At Elena's there wasn't much to do since it was a day off. So, Stefan decided to get her out and continue to train her since they hadn't had a chance in a while. Jeremy came along for the ride but stayed in the car. Stefan continued where they left off; combat. He knew she didn't know how to fight, fight, but it should be easy to go on teaching her, since he wouldn't need to worry about harming her like he would've if she were still human.

Defense would be today's lesson: how to carefully defend your self from things like stakes, wooden bullets, and the likes. Then he'd teach her how to use those objects against foes, how to handle fighting humans like Hunters for instance and maybe some tricks if she was quick to pick up. If they had time tomorrow, he'd teach her offense.

Klaus dropped off the money at Caine property and was handed its deed. He stopped in a clothing store shortly and came right back to the hotel. Bonnie and Kendra were watching a horror film on television while he walked into the room throwing his clothes off. He needed to bathe horribly, he had been in those dirty clothes since Tuesday last. And in all his glory he walked into the bathroom and stared at himself in the mirror.

"I need a shave." rubbing his chin and face close to the mirror. He stood back and saw out the corner of his eye someone standing at the door. He walked over and met them, "Taking a gander of all my person love?" beaming at Bonnie whom was looking at his face, "Mhmm," smiling. He leaned into her, "Care to join me in another rinse?" he cooed, "Soon. But not today," he stood tall again and grabbed his crotch, "Really?" looking shocked as she shook her head, "Delightful. Oh by the way, I need some olive oil," randomly, "Why?" walking to the shower turning it on, "To shave." the water rushed down him as she stood looking on uneasy, "Okay. I-I'll get right on that!" and she walked out.

Elijah and the other siblings were done organizing the first batch. It took all of that night but they had everything in some kind of order, so after they then went over it all, all they got from it was a reoccurring date:

November 14, 2012- Mystic Falls area.

14/11/12-Jamesville area.

12:00 a.m. 2012 14 11-Quarry entrance.

This kept popping up on the last twenty pages of the 245 they went through. Elijah wrote the date down right along with the addage after it, "It's only the middle of October, why is this date so important?" he asked himself looking through more pages. Kol gasped and flopped down next to him with a torn off piece of paper, "Elijah." he slowly took it as he brought his eyes from a page he was looking over.

On this torn scrap was a series of numbers written in blue ink:

DOOR 1-CODE #-4363

DOOR 2-CODE #-1209

DOOR 3-CODE #-8675

DOOR 4-CODE #-0010

LEVEL 2 ACCESS-LOWER LEVELS REQUIRE ACCESS LEVEL 4 KEYS.

Elijah looked at Kol and back at the scrap, "Where'd you find this?" Kol slid over to the pile he stacked and organized plucking up a small stack and back over to him, "This...was paper clipped to..this last page." he handed the last sheet to him, and all that was on it was a small map with black and white pictures of doors. All the doors were large, metal, and looked like they moved up; they had numbers on each of them that matched the scrap of paper. He also noticed a key pad on the wall next to the doors.

"I wonder who got all this? It had to have been Isaiah, he must've gotten caught or found out and murdered for this." he generally spoke. Kol looked at the scrap and the doors, "What do you think these lead to?" looking at Elijah, Rebekah now looking at the paper, "Ground levels or...something of that sort. This all has to be some plan, and here I was being paranoid with our brother..." he said shaking his head, "He needs to know about this ASAP." Elijah rising up, "Wait! Look at this." Rebekah yelled frantically and holding out a paper. He walked over and grabbed it.

On this paper:

EXTRACT TARGETS FROM LISTS 1, 3, 6, AND 11. BRING TARGETS TO PROCESSING CELL AND HOLD. AFTER PROCESSING IS COMPLETE STAMP OUT TARGETS FROM LISTS 1 AND LISTS 6. YOUR SEARCH MAY TAKE A WHILE TO UNCOVER THEM, REFER BACK TO YOUR MAPS FOR HELP.

DROP OFF AND DISPOSE OF THEM IN THE MASS INCINERATOR LOCATED IN GROUND LEVEL 5.

SIGNED-COUNCIL MEMBER #2. 17-9-2012

Elijah walked over to his stack and picked up that paper with all the names on it, "So this is a hit list. But I wonder how many are still alive from this list?" brows furrowed. Rebekah and Kol looked at each other with grief.

Bonnie ordered a bottle of olive oil from the kitchen, a few minutes later she went and gave Klaus the bottle who was just stepping out the shower. He smiled at her as he took hold of it, "Thank you, gorgeous," she kissed his collarbone dragging her lips from and away, "No problem." turning around. He slathered the oil on and let it sit a little while before picking up the razor.

Bonnie knew Kendra didn't have any other clothes with her because she, although wearing a different shirt, was still wearing the same pants. She went and got her bag and brought it out to the front room and sat in front of her.

"Don't take this as me trying to imply something, but do you want to borrow some of my clothes?" she offered handing Kendra a pair of jeans.

"Oh it's cool. I can just conjure some up," Bonnie looked stumped.

"Wait you know the manifestation spell? Cause I can't remember it,"

"Yeah I learned it when I was fourteen, my first. Haven't had much, so I learned that spell to get by [especially for clothes], the only thing with it is; you can only use it three times a week. Because of how badly it can drain you,"

"Oh, well that explains why I couldn't spawn anything else the weeks I did live in that house. So fourteen huh?"

"Yeah my parents died when I was nine, horrible train accident. They tried putting me in foster care but I ran away from that shit, and been on my own since then," laying back arms under head.

"No other relatives to help you out or take care of you?" Bonnie face scrunched solemnly.

"Nope. Grandparents died decades ago, I was the only child, don't know any cousins, aunts or uncles. Parents didn't seem to deal with the rest of the family," revealing.

"No kidding," looking away, Knedra squinted,"Oh?"

"I haven't seen my family in a while either; well I don't really know them much, myself. But my Grams [and my Dad] raised me," giving Kendra.

"Did your mother die or something?" Kendra on her elbows now.

"Well, you could say that now-but she left when I was little," looking at the T.V. Klaus was standing at the door listening on.

"That sucks. So she's a vamp now?"

"Yeah, and gone again. But I can't help but feel sorry for her she wasn't turned by will. I was told that it was between my mother and I in who to save, because Klaus' brother, Elijah, had sister Rebekah corner Elena in a cave. She was going to die if they didn't kill me and my mother. But guess who Damon and Stefan chose?" Bonnie turned her head and looked at Kendra.

"Your Mom..." Bonnie bit at her lip while ruffling the bag strap, "Yup," as she stood up.

"Well, why did that even happen?" Kendra asked getting up herself, arms folded and looking pissed.

"You know about drawing from another witch's power right?"

"Oh yeah,"

"Their mother, Klaus' and his siblings, was drawing from a link from our line to kill her kids, and 'balance' nature again," air quoting.

"Kill her children? Classy bitch..." Kendra looking repulsed.

"Yeah, so that night the moon was high enough for her to draw enough power to kill them linked together. All I remembered was being attacked by Stefan, and then I found out what had happened to my mom. I was so torn up; we were getting around to talking and learning a little about each other. I had met her adopted son Jamie, we just could have been on our way to really getting to know each other, then she left but again I can't be completely mad at that. I guess,"

"That is some Grade A shit. Was there any other way they could've approached that situation?"

"You know. I guess not," walking to the room door head turned to Kendra.

"And the siblings' mother is….?"

"She's dead, dead, and their brother Finn is too,"

"If they're originals how'd he die then?"

"They staked him with the only weapon that would have killed them all: the white oak tree. I guess they got Finn just as the link was severed,"

"Oh-jeez, the many uses of we witches huh?" Kendra sarcastically, "Tell me about!" and she went to change in her room as Bonnie went in hers. Klaus was sitting on the bed looking at the floor now clothed with dark washed jeans. Bonnie came and sat next to him looking concerned; she draped an arm over his neck.

"What's wrong?"

"I'm sorry. I didn't know it happened like that, I wish it turned out differently than it did,"

"Well, it happened, it hurts, and here we are, at least my mother is still here. just another thing to live through and continue on, and remember what happened so it doesn't repeat again right?" messaging his scalp.

"Did you hate us after that? I mean d-did you hate me?" looking at her squarely.

"I did. I hated all of you with all the strength I could muster. I was secretly contemplating a way to destroy you all without having your lines die. I had plan to leave that week, and go look for this spell called the Spirit Reaper," Klaus' brow quirked at the name of the spell. He has seen its use before.

"Spirit Reaper?" not asking but sounding intrigued.

"Yes, I know someone who's good at locating old spells. With that I was going to take all of your essence out, each one of you, an-" he cuts her off.

"Evaporate our spirits. Yes, I've heard of this spell. But I thought it was long gone since I last saw it being used," she looked at him eager.

"Wait, it's been hard finding it. But what does it look like and what happens afterwards?" close to his face.

"You can see a smoke like energy of the person streaming out of their body. It turns a jet black and vaporizes," looking awkward. Bonnie sat down on her knees and sat still, "Wow, that sounds-dangerous, and effective,"

"It is, in fact the witch who performed it died right after doing it," her eyes widen.

"It kills you?"

"I theorized that maybe she, was just too inexperienced, and not powerful enough. And the strength of such a spell took its toll on her and killed her," looking at Bonnie worriedly and grabbing her hands, "Was she one of your witches?" he chortled, "No love, it was something me and a group of others witnessed. Others she associated with ended up being burned at a stake," standing up and putting a fire red Henley on.

"That far back?"

"Yes, that far back," looping his belt through.

"So, you shaved it off huh?" looking at him and smiling.

"Yes, I needed to," grabbing her hand.

"I liked your stubble!" she said hands caressing his now shaven face.

"It shall return," smiling and resting his hands on hers.

"Listen, I'll be ready to leave soon and on my way to see my brother. Would you still like to come along?" a brow raised.

"Yes I would." he got up letting her hands go walking back into the bathroom.

1:20 p.m.

Stefan and Elena wrapped her training up for the day and headed home with Jeremy asleep in the car. Klaus, with Bonnie, since they needed a car stopped by an associate's place to buy a one. He got the keys and they were on their way out of the town, the ride like always was very quiet. He noticed how deep in thought she seemed, not turning her head once to him since the ride started.

He looked over to her, "Are we well?" she turned and smiled at him, "Yes, I'm just looking at the forest thinking about some things," that she didn't want to share with him just yet. It wasn't the right time for those ideas, "Like what? Camping or something?" she smiled again mischievously, "Oh, you could say that, I suppose," he could tell she was grinning, "You're hiding something aren't you?" smiling himself as he thought about pulling the car over now past the first mile mark.

"Uhm, no I'm not," sounding innocent. He rests his hand on her thigh, "You are my lovely. I feel I'll have to pester you until you tell me." rubbing her thigh now. He tempted her arousal, she was turning into a fluttering mess just waiting to open up and let him take her. But, she played coy and tried to keep a blank but believable face.

"Niklaus stop it," she softly demanded. He pulled his hand away back to his thigh, "I love it when you say my name. Maybe soon there will more of that, but with a much different pitch and tone to it," suggestively. Bonnie snorted and rolled her eyes, "Can't wait huh?" knowing she could barely contain her own self.

"Oh woman, you have no idea." giving her the most lustful gander possible. She quickly turned her head looking back out her window.

They were back in Mystic Falls at last. It took a short while to get to their mansion he knew they'd be at, because where else would they go? And pulled up in the drive way. Kol was outside looking at a tree when he saw the two exit the car. He stood as he was.

"I see Kol is normal once more. Thank you," to Bonnie. She saw him wave at her and waved back, "No problem." Klaus gave Kol a nod and he returned the gesture.

The door was unlocked; guess they felt no point in it being supers and all. They strolled right in as Klaus now walking fast from the entrance looking around, "He's here, with Bonnie." Elijah thought looking through some other papers able to pick up on her scent. Klaus swung the cracked double doors open to the grand room they were in and stopped. The doors hit the wall as Elijah turned around and looked at Klaus as he looked back grimly at Elijah.

"Oh. Hello dear Klaus!" Elijah waved with his fingers. Klaus sped up to him and threw him into the near wall. Bonnie was standing in the door way, he rushed over and punched Elijah three hard times in the face before pulling him up and back onto his feet.

"Hello Elijah! Just needed to get that out of the way!" brushing himself off and straightening his jacket. Bonnie walked over next to Klaus and Rebekah came in holding a laptop, "Well. That was warranted and long coming," Elijah uttered realigning his jaw, "Why the hell were you so adamant, pursuing me?" obviously angry as hell. Elijah smoothed some hair away, "Well?" with Klaus patience wearing thin.

"You. You Klaus. You know how you are, and what you've done; the things you have done. So, excuse me when I make a slight error, in judgment with you. To try and put a handle on you, normally out of control and scheming, brother," Klaus looked down but at him with changing eyes and jaw ticking, "And how erroneous your call to action was. How gun jumping your logic, sure I've done things that will make most people paranoid and perhaps a bit shell shocked. But you, you didn't even stop and give me the benefit of doubt!" through clenched jaws. Elijah sighed and looked at Bonnie; she looked behind her to realize he was staring at her.

"And I apologize to you and Bonnie. But this is, partially your fault, having daggered us all at some point throughout the centuries mind you and putting us away? Shoe on the other foot, well-it's not so pleasant being knifed and stored in a cramped little box? Is it?" he retorted walking around Klaus. His eyes went back to normal as Elijah came back to meet his front. {-non-canonical since he, Klaus, can't be daggered,}

"No, it doesn't. And I am sorry I did that. And you know I was running from your father!" riposte. Elijah turned at the last part, "You couldn't have let us out as well? It had to be on your terms, on your time when to let us out? Minding how I was released from my 'slumber' much earlier than you approved, but. Nonetheless, you tried to do it again, and then I gave you a taste of what we had faced for centuries at a time." face to face with Klaus. Bonnie; with Rebekah now standing next to her looking like she was eating this whole exchange of words up. Klaus looked at Bonnie for a minute then back at Elijah.

"I accept you frustration and shortness with me. I should expect that, however, do explain to me why you assumed the worse with Bonnie?" wiping his bottom lip with his tongue slowly. Kol came sauntering in over to the women, Elijah then looked at Bonnie, "I did so, because you are manipulative Niklaus. I had assumed you were using her, and that you tricked her into working with you to plot something foul. You do these things Niklaus! So I felt it necessary to retrieve her for her friends and apprehend you, to stop you," he reasoned still looking at Bonnie. Klaus looked at her too, "Well, how wrongly you assumed. How lucky you are of the kindness in her heart to help you with Kol, even though I'm sure you thought she had done that to him. But, bygones are bygones however recent...in memory." walking over to Bonnie.

"I guess we're even, you and me?" a hand in pocket now.

"Sure. We are you and I. The question though, is whether Bonnie and you are fine?" standing next to her all looking at Elijah.

"What do you say Bonnie?" Elijah spoke.

"You'll have to give me some time with that one. No offense,"

"None taken. My rashness has caused you grief, as I've bared witness. I hope that someday soon, you'll forgive me. But now that the two of you are here, I have a matter that is urgent of all our attention," now past the long and drawn out. Bonnie and Klaus looked simultaneously at one another.

"Regarding?" Klaus stepped forward.

"Bonnie remember that Arbitrator thing?" looking at her.

"Yes, why?" a brow rose.

"Well, it seems they are up to things most baleful. My friend was involved with them but I'm guessing he was going to blow the lid off," being slightly vague.

"You mean that brutish Isaiah?" Klaus asked.

"Don't judge him Niklaus. But yes, Ithink he was murdered trying to gather damning evidence on them, and I think that red witch did it," handing Klaus one of the papers.

"Who would he blow a whistle to Elijah? Most people don't know about vampires and lot," Rebekah asked.

"I assume he'd go and inform whatever super that would listen,"

"But he didn't tell you anything. You had to go through the man's work yourself," Klaus handing Bonnie the paper to look at.

"He could have withheld it from me to spare us. Because if I knew something then you all would then know as well,"

"Either way, it's still hard making sense of some of these papers," Kol.

"I wanted to warn you two of this. There are hit lists that we have yet to find, and two of those, lists people or targets are still being searched for. They will be knocked off as they say," Klaus looked uneasy, what has he missed? And how had he not catch wind to this months ago?

"Thank you, I'm glad you alerted us to this. Are we on any of these lists?" he inquired.

"On the ones we've seen? No. But I am unsure of the others, especially the lists that call for 'stamping' the targets out. I've been looking tirelessly for it though,"

"This is all a load of manure. Stop holding people's feet to the coals and they get froggy on you. Any rate, so what happened with that witch again?" looking at a sitting Bonnie going through a stack of papers.

"I spellbound her to a mind tormented in misery," all nonchalant as the siblings looked at each other.

"Oh. Okay love," eyes kind of big.

"Why?" eyes on him now.

"I have an idea," Elijah looked over, "Like?"

"If she does work for them as I was told. Then maybe we can go and look out to see if they got her, and follow them to where ever they are stationed?" he purposed.

"I always loved your scheming Nik," Rebekah stated.

"But what if they went and got her already? Then what?" asked Bonnie.

"Good question, I don't know." he went and sat down next to her and took some papers from the stack the siblings organized.

They all then went on looking through fresh papers, which Kol brought with the tote.

A car pulled up in front of the mansion Shanna lived in. A man in a large black leather coat got out, walked over, and observed the gate. He felt it, running his hands up and down the bars and quickly yanking them off, "This is hot..." he looked at his hands and back at the gate before walking in and up the driveway. The front door he didn't bother with, he went on around back and saw Shanna on her knees spaced out rocking side to side slowly. He rushed over and kneeled before her.

"Shanna? Shanna can you talk? Shit." As he waved his hands and gently shook her. She only responded with a garbled groan drooling out the side of her mouth. The man looked closer at her face not noticing before that her eyes were red.

"Oh dammit! So, that's why you can't speak? *Sigh* Lemme call this in." he pulls his cell out and dials, the end picks up, "Number 4, we have a problem." he turns and looks around her yard making sure nothing is there to hear.

"Number 3 is incapacitated, she cannot talk, her eyes are, red, and she seems spaced out. I repeat, Number 3 is compromised!" to the other end. He hangs up and waits for ten minutes, this time a grey limo pulls up behind his car and two large men and a shorter man wearing a grey overcoat walks through the bent gate. The grey coat stops and analyzes it and continues on to the back. He and the leather jacket shake hands as he leads them over to Shanna.

"She's been like this since you came?" the coat asks. Leather nods and pulls Shanna up onto her feet, she's about ready to fall forward or stumble back before being kept still.

"Her eyes sir, what do you think this is?" he asks, "I'm sure it's a spell, we'll have to take her back to HQ and have the rest of the council take a look at her. Good job Stokes," he snaps his finger and the one of his two guards picks Shanna up and throws her over his shoulder walking back to the limo, "Thank you sir, Do you want to me to stay here on standby? In case her attackers come back?" calling out to him.

"Yes, I'll send you some back up as well. See you in November Daniel!" grey coat waves as he disappears from Daniel Stokes view, as he enters the mansion.

2:16 p.m.

Bonnie and the rest hadn't uncovered much more of Isaiah's files. All they had that was better than the rest of the newer files was an underground map. In this map the facility stretched from one town past Jamesville, through Jamesville, and Mystic Falls. They all marveled but scorned at it all the same, the bright side to this map showed exit routes. If they were rounding up supes, then there was at least a chance for escape.

"This is insane..." mumbled Elijah, Klaus looked at him, "This is beyond insane Elijah. This is an impending war," Elijah now looking at Klaus, "Well, this is a very hush-hush war being implemented against us," Bonnie stood up and walked over to the window. Klaus got up as well and went over to comfort her, "I'm sorry love," rubbing her shoulders, "No it's okay. I just need to take a quick break from that and think of something," he came around to her front, "Do you want me to warn your old friends?" she shook her head, "Either you or Elijah can do that. They do have a right to know about this. I don't want to be a cold hearted bitch." she says as she looks out to the horizon.

Elijah walks over, "I'll go and inform them later on. Maybe we all can meditate on how to best approach this situation?"

"Maybe. I'll need a phone," she murmurs, "I'll buy you one when I get the chance?" Klaus hand on her shoulder, "Sure." Rebekah opens up and turns on the laptop she brought in. Elijah speeds over and picks it up from in front of her.

"Where'd you get this?"

"It was in the tote,"

"I looked in there and I didn't see this," the laptop was only about ten inches wide.

"It was up under all the files, at the bottom," hand on tote. It turns on and after a few minutes of the start up, it's on a password screen.

"Here's to hoping we find a password somewhere." sitting it back down. Bonnie left out of the room to go and look for a bathroom. She walked all around the first floor until she finally found one next to the kitchen. She got in and locked the door behind her; she turned the faucet on and plugged the bowl up letting it fill. Turning it off when it got mostly full, she pulled a small bottle out of a little bag she brought right along with a small notebook.

She hadn't really been practicing making many potions and whatnot, being occupied with learning spells, but today with the news she just received she thought she'd try a Reflection Call. With a reflection call, you can enchant a face bowl, bucket, pale, or anything that will hold the amount of water you want with a tree ash mixture-enough so you can see the other; and try and reach the desired person. Bonnie burned some sage leaf so no one, not even Klaus would hear her conversation, and waved her hands across the now murky water.

She wanted to get in touch with both Laura and Kendra since this was the next best thing. All she would need to do to reach them would be to call their name, and then she'd appear in their vision. The first call was to Laura, a handy and experienced Wiccan who knew so much info about damn near everything [well almost everything]. She came through looking especially tired.

"Hey Laura, how've you been?" cordially. Laura coughed and out came her raspy voice, "I've been better. What do you need young one?" glass of tea in hand.

"I need to warn you about The Arbitrator,"

"Ohhhhh...yeah...the Arbitrator. The one organization I can't wrap myself around,"

"Oh, so you don't know anything about them?"

"Now I didn't say that. I, here's what I can give you, and I appreciate the warnin' cause I didn't think they were still operating. Now if you're calling me about this, I get the sense someone has given you a little info on them?"

"Yes,"

"Ok, this group is a council of seven people of varying influence and types. Two are humans, there's a warlock and a witch, a wolf, and two vampires. They want to wipe out as many supes as possible, especially now witches. They feel as though they are the only supes who are righteous enough to exist, that they know better and what's best and so they have been rounding up as many quietly and quickly. What we have to watch out with them is that, they are strong, they are not like the Original vampires but they are capable with distinctive weaponry on their side and powerful magic, regarding the warlock." Bonnie shivered at the information and leaned up against the wall.

She closed her eyes and composed herself, "Are you ok Bonnie? I must add at how strong you've gotten since we last chatted. But you'll need to be able to do more than just use your magic in this war young one," opening up a jar of herbs.

"I'm fine. And I know that, but I start school again next week and I feel like I have such a small time frame to work with,"

"Before I finish telling you the last of my knowledge of the group, may I suggest a time jumping spell? It's not as risky as it sounds but it will drain you for a day or two," she purposed.

Bonnie pondered squinting her eyes up at the ceiling intently, "Hmmm, I do want to get out of high school sooner. Maybe if I do use this spell I can start training for whatever this is that's coming? Why the hell not?" thinking. She slapped the wall and stood upright and perk again.

"Yes, you can give me the spell, thank you Laura,"

"No problem. As soon as we wrap up this call and the water drains, there will be a rolled up piece of paper in the face bowl. Okay?" Bonnie shook her head, "So anyway, The Arbitrator lastly has a series of tunnels going through Mystic Falls, and the next two towns. It's like a massive encampment of them and their personnel and the prisoners from all across the country. Every single supe is on a list, but there are a select few [as in 30] who are on an immediate termination or flip list, I just don't know who. These are the ones they consider highly dangerous and threatening. Not all of the members have seen the list or even a picture for the people on it, so if you met one already they probably wouldn't know to take you in." she went on. Bonnie shook her head and bit her bottom lip.

"I came in contact with a witch name Shanna, is she a member?"

"Lord yes..." raspier.

"Is there a way they can find out about who she came in contact with?" nervous.

"Maybe Bonnie, did you use a spell on her?" she shook her head.

"Dammit! Your energy will be there depending on how long ago this was. But from what I can tell of you? It'll be there for a week, now; they will only know it was a witch and that it was a female. But you squarely, luckily, no, I can try and bless you for as long as possible but after that I can only hope you can do more than magic. You hear me?" sternly.

"Yes,"

"Finally, you're gonna need, just in case, several plans of escape and strategy with this group. They do not make the same mistakes twice, if they catch you and you get away? They will get you again but that time you won't be able to move, they will have you bound in every way possible, and lastly they aren't like hunters but they do use their armament any last questions cause that's it?"

"I don't, but thank you. Do you know who the warlock is?" she had a hunch.

"No unfortunately. But they go by numbers, so he might be number 1 or 6,"

"Okay, well that's something regarding that. But overall thank you again so much. You've been a tremendous help Laura,"

"You are always welcome. Now, I gotta go-bye-bye." and the water went murky again. Bonnie waved her hand over the water and then called out to Kendra. She appeared all chill and eating cereal.

"Hey Bonsi, are you using the Reflection Call? Never mind duh. So what's up?" sitting her fruit loops with cheerios down on a nearby table.

"There's trouble coming," smirking.

"Trouble's always rearing his bleeding ass around the corner, but what kind?"

"The super killing kind,"

"Oh shit. *Sigh* We're gunna have to roll our sleeves up on this one?"

"Our sleeves, pants, socks, everything!" she laughed as Kendra returned the like.

"Well then...whose ass do I have to bust for safety?" smooth.

"Watch out for some or anyone related to the group called the Arbitrator. They are a serious concern,"

"Damn, I'm up now. I'll be alert, thanks for the heads up,"

"No problem, hey!"

"Yeaahh?"

"I need your help with training. I feel like since you've been practicing since fourteen, I could use your sage advice?"

"Awww, sure! I'll be happy to teach you every single spell I know and the ins and out. I can also help you be slick with it if you want?"

"Yes, I'd appreciate all you can throw at me,"

"Good, good. Now we're talking. When should we start?"

"Two weeks, I guess,"

"Okie doke. See you?"

"Later tonight. Bye."

"Bye!" and their call ended. Bonnie exhaled deeply; she put her bottle of tree ash back in her little bag, drained the water and took the paper out of the bowl. She unfurled it and read the spell, "This looks easy enough." and rolled it back up placing it in her bag. She unlocked the door meeting a staring Elijah, looking awkwardly at her.

She eased past him and out of the threshold of the door and out into the corridor fully. His hands were by his sides but he had the calmest of looks on his face, "I guess you guys found a password?" she inferred, "No. We had no such luck, are you well?" inching a bit closer to her, "Yeah, why? Do I look sick?" rubbing her eyes and cheeks, "No, no it's just that, you were in that bathroom for ten minutes. I grew concerned when you hadn't returned," she sucked on her lips and began walking, him behind, "Oh no, thanks though I was just running through a few spells and I didn't want to make a ruckus," waving, he grabbed her wrist gently and looked at it, "Are you ok Elijah?" she snipped pulling from him.

"I'm fine, but frustrated at how much we've gathered, but so much we still don't know,"

"Yea, well maybe we should start planning," he looked at her and smiled. He was acting odder than he had been usually with her. It almost like he's sending her some sort of message. She stares waiting for him to respond, "What do you think Elijah, although I may be missing for a week or two," he looks blankly at her and tilts his head, "Why is that?" she walks back up to him, "School, for one. And second, I need to train. You know so I can be of better use to myself and others," he smiles again, "Hm, sure. I hope you stay cautious in your time away," why was he acting like this? All concerned and smiley, was it guilt? Did he feel obligated to make nice with her after what he did? Klaus must've said something again.

"I'll try." almost hesitating in response. She walked on back to the room they were in; he followed tow strolling and entered. Klaus and the rest were skimming through files still as Bonnie came and finished. Elijah took up a piece of paper to look at only to start looking at the young witch again, looking at her with new eyes. He couldn't seem to focus on the paper being held in his hand having stared at her more than thrice already.

She returned a perplexed grin and eyed balled her wad of files hard.

They never found a password for the laptop. All the rest of the papers were just coded nonsense, and they got nowhere else. Everyone now was just silent and staring around waiting for something to fall in their laps.

"Kol I forgot to ask you something," Klaus broke the silence.

"Yeah, what?"

"How'd you get that picture of that Shanna witch ?"

"I swiped it from Veronica. I was thinking about messing around with her until I forgot about that photo..and her,"

"Oh marvelous," Klaus sarcastically.

"Who's Veronica?" Elijah asked walking to the middle of the room where Kol and Klaus were standing.

"Oh! She was some poor high school senior he killed," Rebekah informed. Elijah turns to Kol horrified and angry.

"Don't look at me like that! You were so caught up and paranoid with him you hadn't notice. Then again I like to do as I please," he snapped before Elijah could chastise him.

"Right. So you mean I need to hold your hand so you don't fly off the deep end too? Though you do as you please right?" he, throwing it back.

"No. I'm just saying, next time prioritize your attention better,"

"Next time I'll try keeping a large eye on you and hold your infant hand. At any rate, I need to go and warn those others, you all can plan or whatever and fill me in tomorrow." he leaves the room and they all depart to other rooms.

Klaus and Bonnie walked out back onto the patio. She turns to him and grabs the shoulders of his shirt.

"I need your help," brows furrowed.

"How so?"

"I need you to teach me how to fight,"

"Weapons and all. I need to be able to do and use more to aid my magic,"

"Smart girl. Sure darling I'll be happy to teach you whatever you need!" she smiles and pulls his face down to meet her lips and plants one.

"But, don't you have school?"

"I do. But I have a spell to help me get out of there soon, hopefully. And then maybe a week later we can start my training. Kendra said she'll help too,"

"Oh, okay. Well that sounds like a plan, I'm glad she'll be helping you with your magic side,"

"Me too, but for now we should plan around the Arbitrator, escapes and all,"

"Let's get on then." and they walked back inside.

Elijah pulled up in front of the Gilbert house hopping out and ascending to the porch. He knocked twice on the door lightly and waited for someone to answer, he was surprised to see Caroline answer the door.

"Is Elena home?"

"Uh sure she's in the living room, why?" she comes walking up behind Caroline.

"Hey Elijah, haven't seen you since the whole Klaus thing,"

"Yes, well I'm here to delivery some grim news to you and everyone else," very stone face serious. Elena furrowed her brows and Caroline stepped aside.

"Like what? Did someone die?"

"No, but I'd rather not talk out here with what I need to inform you about,"

"Oh. OK, well come and have a seat." stepping aside arm out. He walked in as she closed the door and sitting down on the couch next to Jeremy and Stefan.

"I must warn you that we're still gathering info and a lot of it is in pieces that I tell you," he disclaimed.

"Should I sit down or stay standing up?" Elena asked.

"Doesn't matter. Shall I?"

"Go." and he went on and told them what they discovered and the threat the Arbitrator posed to them all.

Back at the Mikaelson mansion, Bonnie and the siblings were done with the files. They uncovered or deciphered nothing more. They still couldn't find a password and there probably wasn't a spell for it so, Klaus and Bonnie were ready to leave and go back to Jamesville.

"Pay us a visit if anything comes up, here," handing Rebekah the address to their flat.

"I swear after we are done with all this I'm going off to San Francisco for awhile," she said looking at the scrap of paper.

"Well good luck sister. See you all when we've formed a plan." Klaus waved as he went on walking out if the room.

"We'll be planning so don't worry, but if something happens or you come across anything new? Come and let us know okay?" Bonnie walking backwards.

"Sure, bye." and she waved her off.

Klaus had the car warming up staring at Bonnie as she sauntered out looking around. She got to the car and waited before getting in hand on handle; Klaus reached over and looked at her. She finally looked down into the car and smiled opening the door up and dropping in.

"What was that about?" he asked pulling out of the driveway.

"Just taking this all in and letting it marinate,"

"Oh, well it is a lot. Especially if you missed some action on the count of your brother,"

"Well it's time for some more. What do you think we should do?" grabbing his hand in hers and looking forward as he drove down the empty and quiet road now.

"I am not sure yet but If I had to throw something out there quickly. I suppose we all should do something regarding those maps,"

"Like try finding some entrance points?"

"Or exit, yes,"

"Well I got some more information on them I got from a friend that we could use,"

"How'd you do that?"

"...a spell, I called a friend,"

"Should I still get a mobile for us both?"

"Yes, I can't always use that spell,"

"Why? Is it an energy thing?"

"No, it's just a limited spell, I called Kendra and my friend Laura, that's all it allows, is two calls,"

"That's janky,"

"Yeah."

"So. Tell me what you've got?" speeding down the road.

A/N: Heads up, someone's going to shift in relation to Bonnie-it may be obvious but if not, you'll soon see. I'll be adding the parts soon.
