"Who is he?" asked Caroline and Stefan at the same time.
At that Marcel flashed in front of Caroline " I am Marcel Gerard and you are?"
In less then a second Klaus stood in front of Marcel and answered for her "Spoken for."
Caroline just rolled her eyes and stepped in front of Klaus "Caroline Forbes."
Marcel's mouth nearly fell open. This was the girl that Rebekah had spoken of , Marcel decided to get a little revenge on Klaus for all the trouble he had caused when he was in New Orleans. " I have to say Klaus I agree with Bex she does look a lot like Cami."
"Who is Cami?" Caroline asked
"Just a friend from New Orleans, sweetheart."
"Friend huh? Caroline responded she would definitely be asking more about this friend later on.
"I think the more important question is who are you?" Stefan asked
"I've already told you I am Marcel Gerard."
"Marcel is an old family friend." Rebekah said
"Now, now Bex, Klaus raised me since I was a boy before tuning me and well you and I were much more then friends." Marcel said purposely trying to upset the women who caused him so much trouble in New Orleans. "We planned on spending eternity together before your father forced you to leave New Orleans."
"That was a long time ago Marcel." Rebekah answered coldly
"When exactly was this?" asked Stefan trying to hide the jealousy in his voice
"1919" Marcel answered
"Oh, well couldn't have been all that memorable since Rebekah and I were together in 1920s." Stefan responded
Caroline couldn't believe her ears or her eyes Stefan was jealous, but wait just last night he saw a vision of his one true love could it be Rebekah? Caroline looked over at Rebekah who seemed to be oblivious to what was going on in front of her. She appeared to be annoyed more then anything. No matter how much Rebekah tried to deny it everyone was well aware of the fact that she had feelings for Stefan.
"Really, well did you ever think you were just her rebound your obviously still not together." Marcel said taking a menacing step towards Stefan
"Boys, we do not have time for this now" Quetsiyah interrupted
"Well, witch I think it is time you tell us how you plan to defeat Silas." Klaus said
"Yes, I believe it is."Quetsiyah responded. "Its simple really, I need Kol to retrieve an item he hid many centuries ago so that I may use it to make a weapon that can kill Silas."
"Wait I thought that your spell gave him true immortality that he could not be killed unless he drank the cure." Caroline asked
"There is alway a loophole Caroline, when I altered the spell to make my children invincible to the wolves there was still a way to kill them." Esther said
"Oh is there now." Marcel asked this trip was definitely going to pay off for him, stop the witches of New Orleans from taking him down and find a way to kill Klaus win win.
"Yeah there is"said Caroline " Although you should now that you kill him you have about one hour left to live, he dies and his entire blood line dies with him." In that moment Caroline decided she definitely didn't like Marcel.
Esther was very pleased to see how quickly Caroline made sure Marcel knew he could not kill Klaus without causing his own death. Her son finally found someone he loved and who loved him in return. "As I was saying, before I was so rudely interrupted, every spell has a way to be undone it is what keeps the balance.
"Exactly!" said Quetsiyah
"So what do I have that will help you create this all powerful weapon." Kol asked
"You, my dear Kol have hidden a petrified flower from my wedding garden. I can fuse the flower with a piece of the stone Professor Shane used to find Silas. Together they will make a weapon powerful enough to end his life."
"Yeah, Uhm don't know what you're talking about." replied Kol
"That's a shocker." said Bonnie
" No one asked for your comments, little witch"
"We need to focus," said Quetsiyah " Now Kol, about two centuries ago you had a friend named Ariana, correct?"
"Yes, bloody brilliant witch. We were acquainted for a time."
"I believe she gave you a necklace to hold on to, am I correct again."
"Yes, she did."
"I need you to retrieve the necklace please."
"I thought I was looking for a petrified flower?"
"The flower was hidden in the necklace. Now, where did you hide the necklace, Kol?"
" It's hidden in one of my favorite cities, Las Vegas. I'll go pack" Kol said with a devilish smirk
"Is it a good idea to send him by himself?" Stefan asked
"NO!" said all of the Michelson siblings together
"My thoughts exactly" said Quetsiyah " Bonnie will accompany him."
"What?" said Bonnie "Oh no, I am not going anywhere with him. Why can't Klaus go with him?"
"Oh don't pretend you're not thrilled to be traveling alone with me, little witch." Kol said
"Because if Klaus where to leave Silas would grow suspicious and before you bring up anyone else's name as far as we know Silas is unaware of you're being brought back and I would like to keep it that way. Besides I believe you are one of the few people in this room who has a chance of keeping him in line." Quetsiyah said ignoring Kol and giving Bonnie a knowing look, the obvious attraction between the two had not escaped her attention.
"So why are we here?" Marcel asked
"Excellent question. Why is he here?" asked Stefan a little to eagerly
"Silas has aligned himself with a coven of witches from New Orleans, Davina may be young but she is a very powerful witch. We will need her help to fight the witches so that Klaus can take care of Silas."
Henrick had been very quiet up until now mainly for two reasons he wanted to hear what Quetsiay's plan was to defeat Silas and two standing on the other side of the room was the most beautiful girl he had ever seen. It had actually felt like the world had stopped for a moment when he first laid eyes on her. It had taken every once of his self control to focus on the conversation instead of her.
" What about the stone the professor used to locate Silas don't we need to retrieve that as well?" Henrick asked.
"Yes, we do, Henrick. I think perhaps we should send Rebekah and Stefan to retrieve the stone. They are both familiar with the island and should be able to retrieve the stone quickly for us." Quetsiyah said
Henrick fought the urge to smile he couldn't think of a better person to accompany Rebekah on this journey then Stefan.
"Fine, I guess I will go pack as well." Rebekah said. " I take it you would like us to leave ASAP."
"Yes, that would be best." Quetsiyah replied

Caroline didn't know who to go talk to first Stefan or Bonnie. On the one hand, she wanted to know what was going on with Stefan, who's face had he seen?, Was she right was he jealous of Rebekah and Marcel? On the other hand she knew that her friend wasn't happy about having to take a trip alone with Kol. Although she suspected that Bonnie may not be as opposed to spending alone time with Kol as she was letting everyone believe. Hell, she knew first hand how the members of the Michelson family tended to get under your skin.
It turned out that her feet led her to Bonnie's door first. "Hey, Bon you in there?" Caroline said as she knocked on Bonnie's bedroom door.
"Yeah, come on in." Bonnie said
"So, you and Kol alone in Las Vegas?"
"Don't remind me. How am I going to deal with him by myself for the next couple of days."
"So you talked with him and it will be a couple of days huh?"
"Well, no I don't know I'm just guessing."
"Or is it maybe you wouldn't mind a couple of days alone with him? And before you, Caroline me lets not forget the little conversation we started the other night." Caroline said
"Yes, lets not forget that conversation. By the way couldn't help but notice, you know since Kol brought it to everyone's attention, that you came out of Klaus's bedroom this morning. Care to share?"
Caroline just smiled as she thought back to last night. It had lived up to every fantasy she had ever had about him and well since she was finally being honest with herself she had fantasized about him quite often.
"Yeah, I took your advice and I went to him and we talked."
"Just talked?"
"At first, Bon, it was the most amazing night and I'm not just talking about sex. He made me feel like, I am all that he needs and so much more he did the one thing no one else has ever done before, he made me feel like completely loved."
Bonnie smiled back at Caroline, this is exactly what she wanted for Caroline. This was the reason she had agreed to help Quetsiyah, so what if she had to spend time with the annoyingly hot original. Wait, did she just think Kol was hot? No no no Kol is not hot he is annoying and loud and sexy. Shit!
"I told you so." Bonnie said with a wide smile.
"I know, so let me help you pack for your trip."
"Thanks."
After finishing helping Bonnie pack for Las Vegas Caroline headed to Stefan's room, time to see what was going on with him. When she got to his door she knocked.
"Its open come in." Stefan said
"Hey it's just me coming to check in on you." Caroline said
"Are you coming to check in on me or are you here to find out about the vision I was given last night?" Stefan asked already knowing the answer
"You know me to well." Caroline laughed "So are you going to tell me or am I going to tell you what I think."
"This should be interesting." Stefan said with a laugh
"Oh really you think its funny? Well, you know what I found funny this morning ?"
"I have no idea but I am certain you are going to tell me."
"I found it funny how you seemed to have such a strong reaction to Marcel." Stefan's smile immediately disappeared from his face, "I think that it was Rebekah's face you saw in your vision yesterday."
"I was that obvious?" Stefan asked
"Actually you were, however for whatever reason I don't think anyone else but me noticed, Have you told Rebekah yet?"
"No, and to be totally honest I don't know how to tell her, Care. Ever since Klaus undaggered her I have made it very clear I don't have those types of feelings for her and in the process I know that I hurt her. What do I do knock on her door and say hey Becca, turns out I only rejected you because some dead witches put a curse on all doppelgänger, but hey turns out you're my one true love.
"Yes,! Don't give me that look are you forgetting I'm the girl who was kidnapped and told hey guess what Klaus and you are mates meant to be together forever." Caroline said "And FYI I'm the happiest I've ever been so there." Caroline said before sticking her tongue out at her best friend.
Stefan smiled at Caroline again she was happy it was obvious. "I happy for you nobody I know deserves to happy more then you.
"Talk to her Stefan she'll understand trust me. You deserve to be happy as well." Caroline said before leaving Stefan so that he could finish packing

Henrick was sitting on the sofa when he heard someone enter the room, he was pleasantly surprised to see that it was not one of his siblings.
"Oh, sorry I didn't mean to disturb you. I'm Davina by the way." Davina said
"No, I don't mind being disturbed wait no you weren't disturbing me." Henrick answered
"Ok, well I introduced myself so you are?"
"Henrick Michelson, " Henrick said awkwardly
"Wait, Michelson but your human how can you be related to them?"
"Short story powerful witch brought me back from the other side to help with defeating Silas."
"How can you help? No offense but your human. right?"
"Yeah I'm just your average human and there is no offense taken. She brought me back to help convince the rest of my family to help her."
"Then I guess you've done your part." Davina said smiling.
"Are you going to help? If you don't mind me asking?"
"Marcel is my friend and if it means that it will keep him safe then yes, I will help, although I'll be honest I don't exactly trust your brother."
"Which one?" Henrick said with a laugh.
Davina laughed with him. "Klaus, although I'm not a big fan of your sisters either."
"I understand, however they have begun to change."
"No offense, but they have only been here for a few days how much could they have really changed?"
"Just give Nik a second chance, he has something now that he has never had before."
"Yeah, whats that?"
"Caroline."
"And you think that will make a difference" Davina said almost laughing
"No, I know it has made all the difference. Look I'm not saying my brother is going to turn into a cute little kitten, but I've watched over him for one thousand years and I have seen the difference that she makes in his life."
"If you say so, well I'm going to find Marcel, guess I'll see you later."
"Yeah, see you later."
"Well, well does my baby brother have a crush?" Kol said entering the room
No, no, no was all Henrick thought out of all his siblings Kol was the last one he wanted to find out about his feelings towards Davina. "What, no I don't know what you're talking about."
"Now, Henrick are you really going to pretend you don't have a crush on the beautiful Davina?" Kol continued "Because I do have super vampire hearing as well as perfect vision and from what I have seen and heard you my boy most definitely have a crush."
"Leave him alone Kol." Bonnie said as she entered the room.
"Excuse me little witch, but this is between my brother and I." Kol responded
"First off there is no excuse for you, second you're embarrassing him so leave him alone."
"Again it is not your concern and of course I'm embarrassing him, as his big brother it is what I am meant to do."
"God, you know you are the most annoying being that I have ever met? Just leave him alone."
"What was that i'm the most gorgeous being you have ever met, well I figured that but thank you." Kol said with a smirk
"Ha, not even close."
"Sure, little witch you say that with your words, but your eyes tell a different story. It's ok women can't help themselves around me."
"Ok, well I'm going to leave now." Henrick said "It looks like you will have your hands full in Vegas, good luck."
"Oh no little brother I don't need luck." Kol said with his signature Michelson smirk in place.
"I was talking to Bonnie." Henrick said as he left the room.
"All packed little witch?"
"I've already asked you to stop calling me that. I have a name and I expect you to use it."
"Not going to happen, little witch" Kol said as he stepped closer to Bonnie. With each step he took Bonnie's heart began to beat a little faster while her eyes settled on his lips.
"Something I can do for you little witch?" Kol said mere inches away from her now.
"Hey, Kol have you seen either of your brothers?" Marcel yelled as he entered the room bringing Bonnie back to her senses "Sorry, am I interrupting something?"
"No!" Bonnie said "When do we leave?"
"In an hour."
Bonnie turned around and went back to her room to get ready for their trip.
"Well, that seemed interesting." Marcel said
"What do you want Marcel?"" Kol asked more then a little annoyed
"Just looking for your brothers, Have you seen them?"
"Nope." Kol said as he exited the room leaving Marcel by himself.

Caroline was heading back to her temporary bedroom when she felt two strong arms encircle her. "And where do you think you're going, sweetheart?" Klaus whispered in her ear.
"To my bedroom, your more then welcome to join me." Caroline said as she leaned into him. How had she not given into him so long ago just being in his arms felt so right.
"Actually, I have another idea."Klaus said with a smirk
"Oh, really and what might that be?"
"You move your stuff into my room and stay there, permanently." Klaus said looking quite seriously. It had taken him one thousand years to find her and now that she was his he had no intention of ever letting her go.
"Permanently?"
"Yes, permanently."
"You do know that I intend to finish school right?" Caroline said
"I figured, although I am hoping to convince you to transfer the University of New Orleans. Either way I still plan on having you in my bed every night, Love."
"Oh really, you plan sharing a dorm room with me and Elena, oh and Bonnie now that she is back?"
Klaus laughed "No, I plan on getting us a place near whatever college you choose to complete your education at. Still hopping that will be New Orleans by the way."
"Klaus I…" Caroline began but was cut off by Klaus's lips on hers
"Just, give it some thought please." Klaus said giving his best puppy dog eyes.
"Fine, I'll think about it." Caroline said with a smile before grabbing him and pulling him into her bedroom.

Rebekah hesitantly knocked on Stefan's door. "Come in its open." she heard him call
"Hey." she said
"Oh, Hey" Stefan said
"Uhm I just spoke with our pilot he will take up to the island first thing in the morning if that's ok with you?"
"Yeah, sounds great." Stefan said with a smile
"Ok, then I'll see you in the morning."
"Oh, ok unless maybe you would like to grab a bite to eat?" Stefan asked hopefully
"Thanks, but I made plans with Henrick for dinner. Its just that we just got him back and now I have to leave to retrieve the stone which will take at least two days."
"I understand Rebekah. Enjoy your dinner and I'll see you in the morning."
"See you in the morning, Stefan."

Silas watched as the eldest Michelson dropped off the annoying doppelgänger back at the Salvatore's boarding house. It wouldn't be long now until he had his one true love back in his arms. All he needed was a little more patience and the annoying doppelgänger blood, very soon he would have all he ever wanted and more.
