"I can't be killed. Let me just put that out there since we are going to be in here for a while." Mikael said looking around.
"You are bluffing." Rebekah said and came near the coffin, she rested her hand there in hopes to end this soon so she could bring her brother back.

"I'm here by magic, a spell that isn't that easy to undo, not even when you have a Bennett on your side." he said measuring the girl.
She smiled at him. "I bet I can refute those odds."

"You can try my dear but I'm here on a mission, even if you send me back, I will still find a way to come here to this future, now that I know how it's done and that it can be done."
Bonnie looked at Kol not fully understanding what Mikael was saying.

"Ayanna won't send you back, she wants to end us all and if you don't go back, our present is forever changed." Elijah spoke closer than Mikael assumed he was.
"Ayanna? She is probably thinking that I went on a hunting trip like everyone else."

"What do you mean? She sent you here, she knows where you are." Bonnie was more confused by the minute.
But so was Mikael. "Ayanna? Why do you insist on her name? She was not the one that sent me here."

Rebekah exchanged looks with Elijah. "What do you mean old man?"
"I'm your father, show me some respect." he hissed at his daughter.

She shook her head scorning his words.
Elijah spoke again, calmly but eerie. "Shane told me that you saw Niklaus cross time and that you found a way with Ayanna to do the same."

"Shane told you that and you believed him so briskly? I expected that at least you would be more astute than the others Elijah."
The older Mikaelson wasn't happy with the judging tone of his father but he had other priorities. "Was he lying then?"

"I did see Niklaus and the others cross but I had no idea what magic was that. And Ayanna would never be able to perform such a spell when in our time nothing like this was even considered possible."
Elijah looked at his siblings.

"So if it wasn't the witch who sent you here?" Kol pressed.
"I was out hunting and then I blacked out, when I came to myself I was among strange houses and your timeline."

"This makes no sense, you are lying through your teeth." Rebekah snapped.
"Am I? I assume you still can tell when someone isn't speaking the truth Rebekah..." Mikael confronted her.

Rebekah looked at Kol and nodded, she could feel how the old man was telling no lies.
"If Ayanna didn't send you, if you simply woke up in here, why are you after Niklaus?" Elijah asked his father, ashamed that he was still pursuing his own son.

But like so many talks they had as humans, Mikael read Elijah's unspoken words. "Don't look at me like that Elijah, he is not my son."
Rebekah snarled mad but Kol held her back by her arm, she shook Kol's hand upset but stayed where she was.

"But he is our brother." Elijah said determined.
Mikael felt tired with the dull conversation that now focused on the grey man inside the coffin that he wished dead. He faced Bonnie, the one he had made a previous agreement with. "It was either Niklaus or Kol, it was that easy to choose."

"There's four of us, you won't get out of here alive." she said as the rest of them closed ranks on the man.
Mikael smiled. "There is only a small matter… I really can't be killed." he said again.

"Lets' find out shall we?" Kol flashed and drove a stake he had kept in his coat right through Mikael's heart.
The man's blood filled his hands but he didn't falter and only released Mikael when he didn't feel him breathe anymore.

"We shouldn't risk it and take him back to the mansion, in case he comes back to life we would have him under surveillance." he told Elijah who nodded and helped him carry the man's body away.
Bonnie looked at Rebekah that looked sad. "Are you ok?" she asked the blonde.

"Can I have a few minutes with my brother?" she asked the witch warmly.
Bonnie smiled and left her alone with the coffin, Rebekah ran her hands slowly through the cold surface and then opened the coffin.

She stroked Klaus' face gently, this was her only chance to do this, to be this close and showing affection to him without getting scolded or pushed away by him.
So she smiled. "I already miss you prick…" she whispered promising herself to set him free as soon as possible.

Bonnie was quickly gathering a few clothes, proper clothes this time and not the impossible bag that Kol fixed for her previously. She stuffed all she could inside a new bag and went to the kitchen, gathering some of her herbs that could come in handy when there was a knock on the door, she expected Kol or Rebekah but instead she found a pretty girl with black hair and blue eyes.

The girl smiled awkwardly. "Hi… I'm sorry to bother you but I'm looking for Professor Shane and he mentioned you when you came to visit him at the university. I asked around and found out where you lived, I'm really sorry for showing up like this at your door but he's gone missing and no one seems to even know he was accepted at your high school… I was hoping if you could tell me if you have seen him at all since he arrived to town?"

Bonnie clasped the small bag with the herbs in her hand. "I'm sorry…" she narrowed her sentence short realizing she didn't know the girl's name.
"April." She introduced herself with a contagious smile.

"I'm Bonnie and I'm sorry but I was just on my way out. I haven't seen Shane since he came to a town's party a while ago."
April was sad. "Well thank you for your time anyway, I'll just ask around a little more."

Bonnie smiled and prepared to politely send the girl away when Kol showed up.
"Are you ready darling?" he asked suspicious that she had company.

April frowned feeling a strange pain in her chest; she touched it feeling crammed and tight.
"Hey... are you ok?" Bonnie stepped closer to the girl.

"Yes..." she smiled and looked back at the voice that in a bizarre way sounded familiar.
Kol stopped on his way, he stared at the girl; his stare was so intense that she felt bothered by it but she didn't take her eyes away from him either. He didn't say anything, he just stood there looking at her not wanting to believe his eyes.

"Kol?" Bonnie asked trying to snap him out of his daze and worried about his reaction.
April repeated his name without a sound, just forming words with her mouth.

"This can't be…" he mumbled and Bonnie got even more worried.
"What is it?" she asked him stepping outside her house.

"Lumina noptii mele…" April whispered at him without a clue of what it meant.
"Mirela?" he asked slowly.

The girl smiled like she recognized the name and him while Bonnie clutched the bag in her hand so hard that she destroyed the herbs.

He came inside the dark small house and grimaced disturbed with his new conditions. He spun around and even after he turned the lights on, he still felt horrible that the house looked so sad and appalling.
The trip to the kitchen was even worst for him, he sighed deeply at the contents of the fridge. One apple and two bottles of water, he stayed away from the milk fearing that it has gone bad already.

"New found respect for the human..." he mumbled and cleared the table.
He pushed away the ridiculous amount of bills and grabbed his phone to call Bonnie.

Bonnie handed the girl water, she was still shaking as she took it. "I don't know what to say…" she told Bonnie knowing she sounded as lost as she felt.
Bonnie forced a smile. "I think you two should talk." she looked at Kol.

He was standing across the room watching the two girls in silence.
"You have a lot to talk about so I'll leave you both alone." she grabbed her bag and moved to the door.

"Where are you going?" April asked in jolt, getting up quickly from the couch.
"I'm going to stay with a friend." she said and didn't look back at Kol leaving her house at once.

April took her water as Kol went out fast after the other girl.
"Bonnie." he called after her.

She stopped by her car and took in a deep breath before facing him.
He cupped her face, he didn't know what to tell her.

"It's ok… I'm going over to your house; I don't think Caroline wants to see me right now."
"We should talk." he said venturing a way out of his troubled mind.

She smiled. "You need to talk to the girl inside my house, the one that died because of you."
"She's just a body, the girl I loved died in Romania."

Bonnie nodded looking down on the ground. "The girl you loved…"
Kol realized his words but could she really blame him? He just had a blast from the past that was very vivid and real. "I will talk to her because I don't know how it's possible that she remembers her past life…"

Bonnie looked at him with a smile. "If a love like that is strong enough to stay with her even after she died and was born again…" She pushed herself away from him, the thought was too painful to even talk about it, she wasn't ready to fight against an epic love. She turned around and opened the door to her car when she felt him pull her hand.

She ended up against his chest and Kol kissed her sweetly, only brushing her lips; she saw that sparkle he had in all the hazel in his eyes, the sparkle she could call her own and easily gave in. She laced her hand around his neck and parted her lips to him; Kol slowly indulged her with a deep kiss. She answered his tongue sweetly battling him and caressing his neck while he made sure she was close to him as he kissed her slowly pulling a moan from her.

He only stopped caressing her tongue with his when it became harder for her to keep the kiss going without stopping for air. He held her close, she became conscious that her body was melted against his and that they were resting against her car.
"I'll be home soon." He whispered and left a small kiss on her lips.

She smiled, her green emerald eyes leaving him stranded and locked with her. "Ok..." she said without much sound and kissed his soft lips one more time before leaving.
He wasn't happy that she was gone but he looked at her house, his smile gone now. The reason he stopped caring and shut all his emotions out was now standing by the threshold waiting for him.

Rebekah parked the large van on the driveway with Klaus' coffin inside and rushed inside her home. "Elijah? I could use the help with Nik's body." she called for her other brother. She fell serious and stern when there was no response. "Elijah?" She called again.

When he didn't answer her, she went to where they were to keep Mikael's body, she paced quickly down the hall and found the door open; she pushed it a bit more, running inside when she found Elijah lying on the ground with a dagger in his heart. "Elijah." she touched his grey skin and pulled the dagger sticking from his heart out.

She grasped it furious around her hand and went to check on their other prisoner but Shane was also gone. She threw the dagger in anger against the wall with the sight of the empty chair and chains resting on the ground.
They had been played so well.

"I know Klaus..." Bonnie sighed stopping her car.
"Out of all the male population in Mystic Falls you had to choose the one that keeps saying... man, in every sentence? Plus the kid is poor."

Bonnie rolled her eyes, he sounded really appealed by it. "He is protected against compulsion and in case you didn't know, Caroline is only close to two men in all of Mystic Falls. Matt and you." She could imagine the big smirk on his face. "So just lay low and don't make a scene. This plan was insane and I just killed someone because of it..."

His silence was welcomed, she could do without the snarky comments of Klaus.
"Besides I'm not sure this will really work, technically you aren't really sleeping... you are in Matt's body and I'm not sure if this will dormant the Five."

"Not bloody likely that I would allow you to fully put me out of circulation sweetheart so be a good girl and keep your mouth shut about my new face and body. I will work my way around answers we need, without resistance. The mate is practically homeless but he has a lot of birthday cards on the box he keeps under his small bed."

Bonnie shook her head ending the call, it wasn't enough that he took Matt's body hostage, he had to invade his privacy as well. Bonnie noticed the big line of cars in the driveway and left her small cheap car by the path that led to the garden. She took her bag from the back seat and looked ahead to the garden, there was a noise that caught her attention.

She looked back at the house but the door was open and she assumed they were taking care of Klaus' coffin along with the guest prisoner. There was another sound and before she managed to understand what was happening there was a cloth with an awful smell covering her face.

She tried to put up a fight but it was of no use because her arms and legs went limb and she was carried to the back seat of her car. She passed out before the two blurs in the front took her away.

"Do you remember anything from that time?" Kol asked her suspicious. There was something here, the way she showed up now after all these centuries and right when he just had his heart open to Bonnie. Something was fishy and he had to find out who was behind it all.
"These words I said before… they keep running in my mind but I don't know what they mean."

"Lumina noptii mele… Means light of my night… it was something that I used to tell you."
She smiled. "I feel all this comfort inside, like I was happy with you."

"It was a very long time ago Mirela… I mean… April." he corrected himself.
"It sounds familiar, the name, the way we are here talking alone and close."

He stood up, there wouldn't be any close feelings, she was not the gypsy girl he fell in love once. "How did you end up here?"
"I was looking for Shane, he has gone missing and Bonnie came once with another boy to college looking for him." she suddenly remembered why she was here in the first place.

"Shane?" Kol finally had his answer.
She opened her mouth but nothing came out as he hurried away before she started.

Caroline had her coffee in a numb daze; she didn't pay any attention to what her mother said or when she left for work this morning. She stayed a little longer at the table staring at the white wall, nothing crossing her mind, just this strange feeling of missing something.
Finally she forced herself to get up and go to school.

She smiled a bit when she saw his car waiting outside; she came to his window easily. "You didn't have to check on me. I'm fine, last night was just a tiny meltdown. I'm all good now."
"But I could drive you to school, you could use the company." he said with a flawless smile.

Caroline shrugged and got inside the truck. "I guess it's better than driving alone in my sad car and listening to depressing music."
He started the car but before he sneaked a look at the beautiful vampire wearing her hair in a side braid today. "Are you feeling better?" he ventured, keen on knowing all he could in this current condition.

"I'm fine." she simply said hiding everything behind that perfect mask of normality.
He tapped the wheel, not that he was eager to experience high school, God helped him, he would probably kill himself before the morning ended but he needed to make the most of this.

There was a silence inside the car that left him uncomfortable, he liked when Caroline talked about everything that went on inside her amazing mind. He turned the corner and looked at her, she was staring down on her lap, lost in her own wonderful world. "If you don't start talking I will take that as a sign that you are not… fine." he told her with a smile.

It pulled a smaller one from her. "We just need a little music." she said and looked inside her bag, taking her Ipod and connecting it to Matt's radio.
He didn't recognize the song but apparently she knew it by heart and started humming to it happy, he focused on the road.

And then the car was filled with the sweetest sound he ever heard, Caroline was singing, he looked at her stunned. She was facing outside her window now and sang in a low voice, so sweet and perfect, much better than the original version sang by a man in Spanish. By comparison his voice was hurting his ears while hers was like a mermaid pulling him to his doom. He discretely lowered the sound of the radio, wanting to listen to her voice only.

"…por dejar tu recuerdo quemarme la piel… loco..." she stopped and looked at him. "Why did you do that?"
"You are singing." he said astonished at how good she was at this.

Caroline laughed. "Have you forgotten that night at The Grill when I sang just for you?"
He forced a smile and looked ahead to the road, now he was upset that the idiotic human had been awarded with a show from the flawless blonde.

"Since when do you listen to Spanish though?" he tried to make up for his latest slip.
Caroline sighed. "Try not to judge me too hard but I went to Portugal with Klaus and it was like stepping into an entire different world with an another culture and history. When we got back I started looking for songs from there and then other languages and I started looking up all these countries and somehow with Klaus around… they didn't seem just there on paper you know?" she looked at him.
He gulped down and nodded. "I guess." he tried to sound neutral.

"With Klaus around it was like they really existed, they were real because he had been to them and he knows all these amazing stories about queens and kings and epic loves… he told me about this king that fell in love with a woman that he couldn't have and they all were against it and then they killed her and he chased the doomed men and killed them by ripping their hearts out because that's how he felt and then he made the entire court kiss her hand and he made her Queen, even if she was dead but he loved her until the day he died." she spoke excitedly and he finally recognized that fire in Caroline.

"So Klaus is a bit… cool." he said with a smile.
"He's a moron and a sneaky bastard with a dork side to him." she laughed easily.

His shoulders slumped in discouragement.
"But I sort of… like him." she whispered in fear for his reaction.

He looked at her, no idea what to tell her.
A sound was pounding in his ears and he finally noticed that his human heart was racing, he looked at the road, he had to stop it before she picked up on it.

"Are you upset at me Matt?"
He shook his head. "Never Caroline."

She was happy, he could tell the small change in her. "Good, because I can't afford to lose another friend and I need someone to talk to about this."

They pulled over the parking lot filled with dreadful teenagers that he felt the urge to drain already. He ran his tongue over his teeth, he missed his fangs.
Some kid just slapped his shoulder and he was forced to smile again, how thoughtful of the pesky boy to leave his germs all over him.

"Caroline." an eager voice called and they both looked behind.
Rebekah rushed to them in her cheerleader outfit and perfect ponytail. "Shane escaped."

He was instantly worried and in instinct looked around.

"What do you mean?" Caroline asked on the way to gloriously freak out.
"We killed Mikael but he didn't die for real and then once at the house he daggered Elijah and freed Shane." Rebekah explained looking at Matt.

She smiled at him warmly and he frowned at her, this was no time for smiles, they needed a good plan.
"This just can't be happening…" Caroline paced around.

"We'll find him… Elijah is out there looking for them already."
Caroline stopped and snapped at Rebekah. "Your brother went all martyr on us to stop Mikael and not only it didn't work; now we lost Shane as well."

"I'm very aware of it Caroline." Rebekah smiled in that soon to lose it way of hers.
"We've lost Nik, the least you all could do was not screw the entire, kill Mikael part." Caroline all but shouted upset.

"Nik?" Rebekah asked narrowing her eyebrows close and tilting her head.
Caroline clicked her teeth nervously. "I need to call Bonnie." She left quickly without looking back, Rebekah slid to the ground coming down from the table she was sitting on and looked at Matt.

"He did that for her, not us. He was protecting her so that no one used her against him." She ranted mad.
"You need to focus. Finding Mikael and Shane is a priority."

She shook her head like she wasn't even listening to him. "And here I was, going about school like nothing happened just to keep an eye on her, and turns out they were going around my back all close and nicknames."
"Is Klaus' body safe?" he asked worried, he needed to get back in one piece and for that he needed the body they were all supposed to be looking after.

"Yes. Do you want to stab him a little for practice?" she asked naturally.
He laughed loudly, how well he had raised her.

She smiled again in that strange way and came closer to him, lazily and he tensed concerned. "I'm happy that you decided to ease up to me and my family."
He shrugged. "I'm not picking any sides for now."

Rebekah twirled her hair slowly and came even closer to him. "The jealous fit the other day was adorable Matty..."
He looked down at her finger that decided to trail his chest, he felt a foul taste in his mouth. Good, vomit reflex was working perfectly; he easily moved away from the table and breathed better when he was a couple of feet away from the predator. "I need to leave."

She pouted. "I don't understand you Matt, one minute you hate me, the other you are jealous of Stefan and now you are indifferent to me again."
"Stefan!" he smiled. "You should give Stefan a chance."

"Stefan?" she crossed her arms distressed.
"He has nice hair and… perfect handwriting." He said leaning his head to the side.

Rebekah closed her eyes in wrath and then left him standing there, she slammed the door behind her angrily.

He was in the body of Rebekah's love interest, he was coming out of this one seriously damaged.
Caroline returned inside the empty classroom. "She's not answering her phone and Kol says the last time he saw her was last night… I'm going over there."

"Can I go with you?"
"Promise to behave?" She asked with her finger in the air.

He gave her puppy eyes and she wondered why he never did this before.
She slowly nodded. "Let's go…"

Bonnie sat inside the circle, she pressed her teeth mad watching Shane display the candles on the ground.
"I can see the little clouds in your mind finally clearing." He said and crouched in front of her.

"You were the witch, the original witch that forged the Five and cursed them into this life."
He smiled proud of himself. "Extra bonus point for you for figuring out what others couldn't."

She recognized the symbols on the ground, he was linking them, she looked at Mikael that stood there watching everything in silence. "You brought him here…" she told Shane.
"Yes, I needed someone I could trust and that when the time came was able to get me out of that house, since you decided to go all rogue on us." he scolded her.

"I will never do what you want me to." she defied him determined.
"You don't have a choice Bonnie…" he said almost sweetly.

She looked behind him as Hayley and Jeremy came inside but she was stunned when Elena came inside the cave after them.
"Bonnie, meet the brotherhood of the Five!" Shane said with a big smile.

"Elena?" she still couldn't believe it.
"I have Rebekah." She said like it was the most natural thing ever.

Bonnie shook her head. "I won't hurt Kol, I don't feel this calling or awakening or whatever you call it."
"Have you met Mirela yet?" Hayley taunted her with evilness. "She's really pretty and she really loved that fine Original you have."

Bonnie looked away fighting tears, why couldn't she just be happy for once without all the problems.
"Is everything ready?" Jeremy asked Shane.

"I have my Five, though technically you are four since Matt pulled that trigger early; he would have been an outstanding hunter, that one…"
Bonnie forced herself to look at them again, she noticed how Jeremy and Elena searched for their circle and stepped inside.

Hayley looked for the circle with Klaus' name in it. "Shane…" she looked at him with suspicion.
He smiled at her sadly and she gasped as Mikael shoved a knife in her back, she made a really painful sound as he twisted the knife and blood left her mouth slowly. Why, she seemed to ask with her eyes.

"I needed a sacrifice since Elena failed to get Caroline's supernatural blood. You are supernatural and no longer necessary to me, Mikael managed more than you did in months. Klaus desiccated and in a box is almost too easy to kill besides your blood runs in Caroline now. That's mostly disappointing and punishable by death." Shane sighed as she finally fell dead and handed Mikael a silver cup that he filled with the blood that dripped from the knife.

He drank the blood and started the spell, all candles went high in front of the hunters, Bonnie remained silent and locked her eyes with her candle. While all others went high, her flame remained the same; she focused on keeping it low.

"Very smart indeed Bennett." Shane hissed realizing her sin.
She looked at him still defying him, he smiled and brought his eyes almost to a close, an excruciating pain took over her head. She screamed and knelt in pain.

"Have you ever tried to give an aneurysm to a human? It's quite efficient when you want something done. So behave little child while I finish this spell." he shouted at her.
Bonnie cleaned the blood that showed up at her nose and focused again.

Shane smiled and closed his eyes this time; it was like her body was on pure fire, she fell on her back shrieking in pain and yelling. An invisible force was holding her to the ground, heavy and suffocating, now she couldn't really breathe and that force was just pinning her, leaving her powerless, she tried to reach her powers but she wasn't able to. Everything was cold, Bonnie moved her head and a single tear streamed down her cheek.
He was taking her powers away.

Shane sighed. "That should keep you busy for now..." he said and then finished the spell.
