"Hello Mia," Bonnie said.

Mia scowled. "I don't want nor do I need your help so you can go now."

"Mia," Kol said with a sigh.

"You, don't talk," she said to Kol. She turned to Bonnie again. "I don't like you nor do I trust you. Whatever is going on, I can handle it on my own."

"Oh sure because it certainly sounds like you're handling it well," Bonnie shot back.

Kol held Mia back.

"Mia, perhaps we should hear what Miss Bennett could do to help us," Elijah said.

"Come on love. We can't let Celene and Derrick have the upper hand," Kol whispered in her ear. "We need to do this so you can have your powers back."

"No," Mia said, pulling away from him. "You where the door is. I'm sure you can let yourself out."

"Fine," Bonnie said.

Within seconds, Klaus was in front of her, blocking her from leaving.

"I don't think so," he said.

"Bonnie, if there's something you can do, then do it. Quickly," Elijah said.

"Has no one been listening to me?" Mia said.

"Well love, this doesn't only involve you, now does it? They're after all of us and we're going to need your powers," Klaus said.

"Who's after you?" Bonnie asked.

"That's not your concern," Elijah said.

"If you really want my help, then you need to tell me."

"Actually, we don't. And don't worry, it has nothing to do with you or your pathetic group of friends," Kol said. "Do whatever spell you need to do so Mia can get her powers back. As soo as you're done, you'll be free to leave."

"Kol-"

"Mia, enough. We're doing this to help you and to protect all of us," Kol said.

Kol walked up to Bonnie. "Just so we're clear, you do anything to betray us and you'll be dead within seconds."

A little later, Bonnie, Mia, and Kol were in the study. Bonnie was looking through her grimoire. All she had been told was that another witch had cast a spell on Mia to drain her powers.

"Found it," Bonnie said.

"Was is it?" Mia asked.

"I can't exactly reverse the spell she put on you, but I can lessen the hold she has on you. It should give you enough power to fight back," she said.

"Great. Let's get to it then," Kol said.

"I need a few things," Bonnie said.

Bonnie gave him a small list.

"Play nice love," Kol whispered in Mia's ear before pecking her cheek.

"So you and Kol are together?" Bonnie asked after Kol left.

"Why do you care?"

Bonnie rolled her eyes. "I was just asking a simple question."

Mia sighed. "Yes. We are."

"Why?"

"Excuse me?"

"I mean…it's Kol."

"I'd watch what you say to me Bonnie," Mia warned.

"Without powers, you can't do much," she shot back.

"I don't need powers to kick your ass," Mia said.

"I see you're playing nice like I asked," Kol said.

"That was fast," Bonnie said.

"Mia already had those things upstairs. Now, come on."

Bonnie soon began chanting. Klaus, Rebekah, and Elijah had entered the study now. Kol kept his gaze on Bonnie, making sure she wouldn't try anything.

"Well?" Kol said after Bonnie had finished. "Feel any different love?"

"No," Mia answered.

"Try using your powers," Elijah suggested.

Mia tried using her telekinesis to move a lamp, but it only moved a few inches. She tried to give Kol an aneurysm, but he only felt a small headache.

"I told you I couldn't reverse the spell," Bonnie said.

Kol scowled and stepped towards her.

"Wait," Mia said. "Maybe I can try to push the block Celene is putting on me by creating a spell."

"Your magic isn't going to be strong enough," Elijah said. "Unless perhaps Miss Bennett is willing to help again."

"Over my dead body," Bonnie said.

"That can be arranged," Rebekah said, slamming her against the wall.

"Rebekah, let her go," Elijah said. "Now."

Rebekah rolled her eyes.

"If you don't help, then maybe I'll just pay a visit to young Jeremy. I haven't seen him in awhile. Perhaps it was time we caught up," Kol said with a smirk.

"Perhaps I'll join you brother," Klaus said. "Maybe we'll see Elena too."

Bonnie glared at them. "Don't you dare touch them."

Kol trapped her against the wall. "Then don't test us. Help Mia with the spell."

"I hate you," Bonnie said.

Kol smirked. "Consider the feeling to be mutual darling."

"Kol," Mia said.

"After this, I'm done," Bonnie said.

"Fine," Mia said.

The two gave each other a hard look. After an hour or so, the two were able to create a spell. The two witches chanted but Mia could feel something fighting her.

"Mia?" Elijah said.

Kol was at her side instantly. "Darling? What's wrong?"

Mia began bleeding through her nose and she suddenly felt faint. Bonnie continued to chant and Mia tried to keep up.

"You have to fight Mia," Kol said. "You're stronger than this love. I know you are."

Bonnie was slightly distracted by Kol's words of encouragement to Mia. She never knew he could ever care about anyone.

Mia fought against the force. After the chanting stopped, she could no longer stand. Kol caught her before she hit the floor.

"Mia, love, are you okay?" Kol said.

"I think the spell may have been too much for her," Rebekah said.

"I…I'm okay. I just feel a little weak," Mia said.

Kol bit his wrist. "Here. Drink."

Mia drank a few drops and could slowly feel herself getting stronger. She stayed in Kol's arms and looked at Bonnie. Bonnie looked between Mia and Kol. She was at a loss for words. Kol seemed to…love her. And Mia seemed to love him back.

Mia was soon able to stand and tried to move the lamp again. This time it moved a foot.

"It might take a few hours or so for you to re-gain all your powers. That other witch really put a hold on you."

"Yeah. I think I'll be fine now," Mia said. "As much as I hate to say this, thank you."

Bonnie nodded and walked out of the mansion.

"Bonnie," Kol called.

"What?"

"I just…I wanted to thank you."

Bonnie raised an eyebrow. "Seriously?"

Kol rolled his eyes. "Don't get used to it."

"It's not like I had a choice. I did it to protect my friends. But if you come after them-"

"You know, believe it or not, it's not all about you and your friends. I have more pressing matters to deal with."

"Like?"

"Like to protect Mia and my family."

Bonnie crossed her arms and smirked.

"What?" he said.

"So the big, bad Original Kol Mikaelson does have a weakness. It's Mia, isn't it?"

"Don't you have somewhere to be?"

Bonnie rolled her eyes and walked to her car. Kol walked back inside the mansion only to face Klaus.

"She's right you know," Klaus said.

"What you talking about?" Kol said.

"Mia is your weakness," Klaus said. "And to think, you used to give everyone else hell for being in love and here you are, madly in love with a witch."

"Shut it Nik."

"Don't be so sensitive dear brother."

Kol rolled his eyes. "I'm going to check on Mia."

"Of course you are."

"At least I have someone Nik. At least I'm not chasing around some blonde baby vamp who doesn't want anything to do with me. That's just pathetic."

Klaus glared as Kol smirked.

"Goodnight brother," Kol said, speeding upstairs to check on Mia.

"She doesn't him weak Klaus. If anything, she's his strength. She's the one who keeps him fighting," Elijah said, walking into the foyer.

"Maybe I should hand them both to Celene and Derrick and get this over with it," Klaus said.

"You wouldn't dare," Elijah said.

"Don't test me Elijah."

"Not only is he our brother Niklaus, but Mia is our family too. And we protect our family," Elijah said.

"Perhaps I was born into the wrong family then."

Elijah walked to the stairs, but paused. He turned to face Klaus.

"No you weren't Niklaus."
