Ace nodded softly as he got up swaying, his nose was still dripping blood. Freya walked over with a towel pressing it to Ace's nose. , "Lean
forward not back." She said softly as he tilted his head forward breathing through his mouth. Hayley walked over and touched his cheek. , "You are a dumbass.
I love you, but that was the stupidest thing you could have ever done. You went against a witch that's over a thousand years old." She said as Ace nodded. ,
"And she's been dead for most of that time, I haven't, making my level of magic power much higher than her's. I had it handled Hayley." He said as he sneezed
into the towel, his nose slowly dribbling to a stop. , "Just be careful okay?" Freya said worried as Ace laughed softly hugging her. , "You worry too much." He
said as he got up Damon and Elena looking at him shocked. , "He's very...powerful." Damon said and Klaus turned to him smiling. , "He's my brother. What do
you expect?" He asked as Elena rolled her eyes. , "A British accent and a fixation with killing innocent people?" She said as she watched the boy run jumping on
Elijah's back.
.
"He doesn't look like he wants to slaughter an orphanage full of innocent wide eyed children and laugh in their dying faces." Damon commented as
Klaus nodded. , "He's brilliant at whatever he does. He's a fantastic artist, an extraordinary witch, and just an overall kind hearted boy." He said as Elijah
carried his little brother around the room as Ace laughed holding onto his brother's shoulders making sure he wouldn't fall off. , "He sounds a lot like my brother.
. . he even has the hero hair." Damon said softly as Caroline smiles sadly. , "You're right, he's a lot like Stefan in a lot of ways, kind, honest, smart, loyal." She
said as Damon put his arm around his sister in law. , "Snarky, self deprecating, hypocritical, stubborn to a boot." He said as Caroline grabbed his hand breaking
his wrist and pulling his hand off her shoulder. , "Ace is none of those things, a bit secretive, and hard on himself, and stubborn. Oh my god, he's like Klaus's
Stefan." She said shaking her head as she hit her forehead with her palm.
.
"Actually I think Stefan was much handsomer and taller, besides he could play football, and could remember every date ever." Ace said still holding
onto Elijah. Caroline couldn't help but laugh softly as the younger boy hopped down. He steadied himself smiling up at her. He grabbed her hand siphoning a
little bit of power from her. He closed his eyes and smiled softly as her phone began to ring, it was a video call. She didn't recognize the number, but she wasn't
going to stop trusting Ace now. She pressed the accept button, and when she saw who was there she almost dropped the phone. Ace waved his fingers
pointing his index finger at the TV snapping his fingers. On the screen smiling and crying was Stefan Anthony Salvatore. , "Oh my god it's you. I-I-I thought that
I would never see you again." Caroline said softly as she cried Stefan shook his head. , "Where there's a witch there's a way." Stefan said softly as Klaus
chuckled. Stefan turned and his smile wavered a little. "Hello Klaus, it's been a long time. I want to thank you for taking care of my wife." He said as Klaus
smiled softly. , "She's saved me a time or two as well. I don't think you ever had the chance to meet my younger brother Ace Mikaelson?" Klaus said as Stefan
nodded. , "We've met once or twice, when I knew I was going to die I contacted Ace." He said as he turned his eyes to the young man who holding his hands
up palms facing out as he tried keeping the connection stable for as long as he could.
.
"Did you forget what I asked you to do?" He asked Ace as he shook his head. , "N-No I just didn't know how to go about telling her without her
totally losing it, or accuse me of lying and you know ripping my heart from my chest. It wouldn't kill me, but it would sure hurt a lot." He said rubbing his chest
softly. , "What are you two talking about." Caroline said as Ace turned to Freya. , "Can you hold the magic connection for a minute so I can give Caroline what I
promised Stefan?" He asked as Freya nodded holding up her hands her palms glowing slightly. Ace walked over to Caroline. , "Can I have your cell phone for a
second?" He asked as she nodded holding out her phone. Ace took it slowly putting it between his hands as they glowed, the phone started to beep and ding
for a minute, until it went silent. Ace held out the phone, and she took it confused. , "Unlock it and check your contacts." He said as she unlocked the phone
clicking on the contacts confused. , "W-what?" She asked confused showing it to Ace, in the contact list were six numbers, with names, they weren't there
before.
.
, "Try calling one. How about that one." He said touching a contact and pressing the video call button. Caroline held the phone confused, she
didn't know who's contact it was. All of a sudden a familiar voice came through the phone followed by a familiar face. , "This is Ty, what's up Care?" Tyler
Lockwood said with a smirk as Caroline covered her mouth. , "You connected my phone to the other side?" She asked as Ace shrugged. , "Just a few people on
the other side, your Mom, Damon, Elena, Stefan, Tyler, Bonnie's grandma, your dad if you want. I-I-I'm gonna do the same with everyone else's phones. It
carries over to any device you want it to, just type 'open' and click enter or send three times and it should open to the list of people." He said as he
concentrated once more his hands glowing as everyone's phones start to buzz and bing. Ace sat on the bed taking off his shoes as he laid down propped up
on the pillows.
.
Freya walked over. , "I'm-I'm okay just a bit dizzy." He says as Freya takes his hand. , "You need to pace yourself. Helping everyone is all well and
good, but you shouldn't drain all your powers in such a short time. You've done so much magic in the last few days. I think you should take a rest. I don't want
you to do any magic tomorrow, if you have to, only do small spells." She said stroking his hair as he nods. , "Alright Freya." He said as Enzo walked over. , "You
look dog tired mate." He said sitting on the bed as Elena Bonnie and Caroline all hug and talk among themselves with Stefan, Liz and Damon talking with
Sheila. , "Yeah sometimes that happens when I do a lot of magic in a short time. I-I'll be okay soon." He says with a soft smile as Enzo rolls his eyes. , "Ya know
mate a big strong vampire like me has enough power to share a little with a friend." He said as Ace shrugged. , "I know, but I don't siphon from friends." He
said as Bonnie rolled her eyes. She walked over and grabbed Ace's hand. , "Magia commodare meum." She whispered as Ace's hand glowed red as Bonnie split
her magic with Ace. Ace looked up at Bonnie. , "You know you didn't have to do that, right?" He whispered as Bonnie nodded touching his cheek.
, "I know, but I also know what it's like to be a teenage witch with the world on your shoulders." She said with a soft smile as Sheila sighed. ,
"Bonnie Bennett, He's a Mikaelson he's not your friend he's fooling you." She said as everyone turned to Sheila. Bonnie cocked her head looking at her grams. ,
"How could you be so cruel? He drained himself to the point of not being able to stand so I could see you and my friends again. Ace is one of the most
honorable people I know, He almost died Grams. He almost let himself die so his family could be together. How long have you known your family Ace?" She
asked as Ace looked up. , "I've known about them since the beginning, but I have only just recently gotten to known them. I-I met Hayley and Freya sixteen
days ago." He said slowly standing up.
.
He looked to the TV screen checking the clock. , "Hey Salvatore, the portals open for another forty five minutes come kiss your wife." He said as
Stefan with tears in his eyes stepped through the TV kissing Caroline, it was a short kiss barely a kiss at all before Caroline pulled away hugging him. Everyone
rejoiced and drank as Ace sat on the bed quietly. , "You know the world wouldn't end if you had a bit of fun." Damon said sitting next to him as Ace shrugged. ,
"Fun usually evades me, unless I'm in a near death situation." He said as the oldest Salvatore brother turned to the portal. , "A two way portal for a few hours
wouldn't drain you this fast, what's your deal?" He said as Ace looked up at him with a soft smirk. , "You know you Salvatores ruin all the fun, help me up." He
said as Damon picked him up holding onto him. , "Everyone listen for a sec! There are five minutes left, but when the dead leave here, they each have a ring
every other weekend a restricted version of the portal opens, for two days they are basically human. So no sad goodbyes or mopey sobbing you guys can visit
on the weekends." He said as Klaus stood up on a table as Elijah passed around glasses and bourbon.
.
, "I propose a toast to the bravest young man I've ever met. He's stood up to ancient spirits, bratty medieval men, and our mother the
original slut, but more than that he's the glue that binds us together. So everyone raise your glasses to my younger brother, and the youngest original
Mikaelson, Ace." Nik said as everyone raised their glasses. Ace smiled softly as Caroline walked over. , "Where should Alaric meet you tomorrow? I'll tell him that
Jo contacted me for information." She said as Ace smiled softly. , "How about the patio at Rousseau's at eleven?" He said as she nodded kissing his forehead. ,
"I swear to god you are one of the greatest people I've ever met." She whispered as he gave her a cheeky smile. , "I'm only one of them? That's a bit
disappointing." He said as Caroline laughed shoving him. , "Sometimes you're just like your brother." She said as Klaus walked over putting an arm around his
baby brother as the brothers shared a look turning to Caroline with the same cheeky dimpled smirks. , "Thank you." They said in tandem as Caroline shook her
head. , "You Mikaelsons will be the death of me." She said as she hugged Stefan goodbye as Klaus watches full of jealousy.
.
Ace pulled him close. , "She never kissed him back." He whispered as the clock rang for midnight and all the people who were dead
disappeared. Enzo and Bonnie sat on the ground holding each other. Caroline fell to her knees crying as Klaus ran catching her. , "Caroline? What's wrong?" He
asked as she looked up at him. , "I-I-I told him that I couldn't love him the way he deserves." She whispered holding onto him tightly. , "Why is that?" He asked
rubbing circles on her back. , "Because, Because I just can't! How can I love him when I'm feeling all of this!" She said turning away from him running her hands
through her golden blonde hair savagely as Kol and Elijah sat next to Ace. Ace put his head on Kol's shoulder smirking. , "How similar to Silas's powers are your
powers?" Elijah asked as Ace looked up rolling his eyes. , "Identical, meaning right now both of them, are having some VERY riveting thoughts about activities
to take part in." He whispered as Kol started laughing. The three of them watched as Klaus held Caroline at arm's length facing her. , "Feeling what Caroline?"
Klaus whispered his eyebrows furrowed together. , "These feelings! All of them spinning in my head! It makes me feel insane for wanting this!" She said
aggravated with herself. Before Klaus could respond Caroline lips crashed into his her arms thrown around his neck. Klaus's arms were around her in seconds
holding her to his lean chest one hand around her waist the other in her wavy feather soft blonde hair.
.
As the kiss deepened Kol picked up Ace, "To the bachelor suite for you mister." He said as he carried Ace to a different room, Enzo, Elijah,
Marcel and Henrik following. Ace started to laugh. , "The only bachelors here are Henrik and I, Kol you're married, Enzo, Elijah, and Marcel all have soulmates as
well. So how about just letting me crash in Henrik's room while all of you follow our brother's, tonight's a night for celebrating our world isn't in peril our mother
is dead for good, and last time I checked there isn't someone trying to kill any one of us." Ace said as the men turned to look at each other and shrugged. ,
"Boys night in sounds a lot better besides I think Hayley and Rebekah are taking the girls clubbing." He said as the girls walked past waving, all except for
Caroline. Ace took a shower, when he came back the four other males had already ordered five pizzas and were ripping their ways through a mountain of
barbecue wings. Ace attacked the food eating hungrily, when he was full his head slumped over on Enzo's shoulder. Once Ace and Henrik were both out cold
from the food comas the others drank themselves silly, and when he woke the next morning, it was only him and Henrik in the room, all the other guys were
gone.
