Kol finishes explaining what Elijah did leaving out any details on the bond they share. Klaus had no need to find out and Kol was going to keep it that way.
"Elijah I thought you more noble than that"Klaus sighs surprised to hear what his elder brother did.
"We can discuss this later, you needed help with something I assume. That's why you always wake me"Kol sighs sitting on his coffin.
"Yes ghosts, are running amuck around Mystic Falls. We need to push them back into the veil"Klaus says glad to change the topic from his brother and Damon's epic love story.
"I see, the spirits are probably trying to send a message. Anyone been having strange dreams?"Kol asks.
"Not that I know of the Bennett witch might know something we don't"Klaus responds and he looks to his silent brother Finn. "Stay here Finn, everything will be new to you. I will explain later my brother but I need to sort this out"Klaus says and Finn nods.
Kol walks out of the room and bewildered expression on his face and Rebekah speeds to him, hugging him as tight as she can. "Hey Bex long time no see"Kol grins hugging her back. His little sister buries her face into his chest laughing against him.
"I'm so glad your up Kol"she says grinning and he kisses her forehead.
"Me too Bex, we have ghosts to banish"he smiles taking her hand and walks outside their two older brothers following. They go to Boarding House while Kol looks around amazed at the new technology. They enter to see Stefan standing with Damon in a corner whispering harshly to his older brother. Caroline and Elena are looking at books while talking into the phone to Bonnie and another woman. Little Gilbert was pacing nervously.
"Movie?"Klaus asks and Damon looks up looking like a kid caught with his hand in the cookie jar.
"More a code phrase for come meet us and don't tell your Original lover"Caroline cuts in and Damon rolls his eyes.
"We were trying to open the other coffin"Damon blurts out.
"You sure you aren't compelled darling?"Kol mocks. Damon smirks at him before glancing quickly at Klaus who is frowning.
"You went behind my back and took something of mine?"he demands and Damon looks away.
"What's in the coffin Nik? Would it be our mother you never buried and made me preserve?"Kol asks. Klaus looks away and everyone right away knows that's exactly what it is. "So there should be no problem opening it"Kol grins walking over to the the phone and telling them about the spell they needed to open it.
Klaus looks between all his siblings who looked happy at the idea, the ones who hated them looking gleeful, and his love looking guilty. "She'll kill me"Klaus mutters and Damon's eyes snap up.
"Stop it you two"he demands of the witches over the phone.
"Damon this could give us leverage against Klaus to keep Elena safe"Bonnie says.
"No this isn't leverage taking one of his siblings would be leverage, this is a weapon"Damon growls.
"If he agrees to not take Elena we won't let her out"Stefan says.
"Stefan no we're letting her out. Vampires rule the Supernatural community, now witches can"Bonnie says hanging up.
"No"Damon breaths out standing up.
"You'll never make it in time"Elena says moving in front of him.
"This is your fault, all of this"Damon accuses looking lost as he gazes at Klaus.
"No I said I'd make a deal with him, they insisted"Elena defends herself and Klaus looks interested.
"What deal would you make with the man trying to kidnap you?"Rebekah asks in disbelief.
"He doesn't have to kidnap me. I can give him a few pints of blood every so often when he stumbles across a werewolf pack. I can live with Stefan, and if he has a stock pile of my blood then even if I do turn it won't be a problem"Elena offers.
Everyone looks like they want to say something but can't really argue with this option. Klaus offers a weak nod and collapses onto one of the couches. Damon curls up at his side while Kol looks around carefully at everyone.
"I'm Caroline Forbes"she says extending her hand to Kol.
"Kol Mikaelson, pleasure to meet you darling"he says kissing her hand and winking at her. She smiles at him and he looks at the others before settling on Elena. "You look just like someone I use to know"he grins teasingly and she rolls her eyes but there is no real annoyance behind it.
"Elena Gilbert"she introduces herself. "This is my younger brother Jeremy"she adds pointing to him.
"No you don't smell like siblings. You can tell for example if you get passed the wet dog smell, that Klaus is only our half brother. The rest of us are pure siblings, same with Damon and Stefan. You two aren't even half siblings, yet you are related"Kol protests.
"Well technically I'm her younger cousin, but we didn't know till recently"Jeremy explains to the Original. "So why were you in a coffin?"he asks and Elena's eyes snap to him.
"Jer"she says in a warning tone.
"Don't worry about it Lena"Kol says deciding she'd have a nickname. "I was making a dagger that could put Nik down. He locked my witches up and threw away the key. He was also upset that he had to deal with the town leaders, I may have killed a good fifty people max"Kol sighs. "To be fair I had to kill someone to get into a house, I didn't know what she looked like"he defends himself at their shocked expressions.
"Kol is often locked away for violence that frightens all of us"Elijah inputs and Kol sticks his tongue out pouring the good stuff.
"Never thought I'd be terrified of Kol, even when he had magic he would've of never hurt us. And then suddenly he would alert our father where we were just to get a laugh out of watching run around like headless chicken"Klaus explains and Kol looks proud.
"I was a bit saddened it took Marcel six years after I'd been daggered to take my advice and call Mikael. I had this locket, it allowed me to send a message to Mikael. Honestly the little whelp could never get anything right, heard he died"Kol snickers.
"So are we going to just sit here and wait for her to show?"Caroline asks and Kol shrugs.
They spend the next hour, drinking, talking, and getting to know each other. When they stop treating each other like enemies they get along pretty well. Elena even snaps a photo of Damon looking at Klaus while he talked to Rebekah. His eyes were shimmering and his smile was brighter than Elena had ever seen it. Then Klaus shifts and kisses Damon softly with a hand at the back of his neck. Caroline gets a photo of that before turning back to talk to Kol.
Damon and Kol get a chance to talk and let each other go. They were best friends before lovers and the bond was barely active anymore with so long apart. Kol says he wants no part in a love triangle, ever.
In the end they are just about to go home when the door opens and the Mikaelson's freeze eyes quickly filling with tears.
"Mother"Rebekah breaths out.
