Crazier

With Damon gone and the scene over, Rebekah and Stefan left the house once again. Violet had gone off downstairs and Klaus wasn't sure if he should try to follow her. She was pretty angry and he didn't want to do or say something that might upset her more. Realizing that he was being ridiculous, he followed her to the basement of the house where he found her cleaning like crazy, standing up on a chair while she dusted the high shelves that were covered mostly in cobwebs.

"What are you doing love?" he asked her curiously.

"I can't sit still," she told him, not looking at him as she dusted. "If I sit, I'm going to just think of different ways to kill my brother." She shook her head. "And this basement is disgusting, I don't want to have kids in a house with a disgusting basement."

"Fair enough," he agreed with her, though he thought the basement was fine how it was. He picked up pretty quickly that he should agree with her, at least on little things like this. "Want some help with that?"

"No," she muttered. "I need to keep moving, keep my mind off the fact that my brother is a complete..." She trailed off as he came closer to her, offering a hand to help her step down. She shook her head, but hopped off the chair with his help anyway, with him taking her face between his hands.

"Breathe," he instructed and she let out an exaggerated breath to prove a point; he laughed a little. "You need to relax sweetheart."

"I can't relax!" Violet complained. "Not when Damon is out there tracking down some crazy ass spell which will-"

"Breathe," Klaus stopped her; she made an O with her mouth, blowing air in his face. "Violet, the babies." He was trying to remind her that she really needed to relax, for the benefit of both her and her children.

"I know, and that's my point," Violet continued. "We're having kids and my brother is trying to start his own version of The Walking Dead." She groaned. "And has everyone forgotten about the witch/Marcel thing? Because-"

"You need to listen to my brother and calm down," Kol smirked from the basement stairs and Violet rolled her eyes at him.

"What do you want Kol?" she asked, knowing he didn't actually care that much about her pregnancy.

"Just to let you know that your brother is officially out of town," Kol informed them both. "Back to Mystic Falls, spell in hand."

"That's not helping anything!" Violet shouted at him and Klaus held a hand up.

"At least we know what to expect, now that he has it," Klaus tried to reason, though he knew his brother was just trying to cause trouble. "Did you need something else Kol?" Kol was still standing there, looking like he wanted to say something else.

"Violet," he started off saying. "How off limits is Hayley?" Violet didn't answer him, though Klaus did have to grab her around her waist to keep from going after Kol.

"You have about thirty seconds until I let her go," Klaus informed his brother, who only shrugged and went back upstairs. "Violet."

"I'm fine," Violet snapped, jerking away from him. "I'm..." She started sniffling. "Fine..." She latched onto him, sobbing into his chest. So she wanted comfort this time? He took the hint, wrapping his arm around her, kissing her head.

"What if," he offered, kissing her hair. "I took you away for a couple days?"

Rebekah had taken Stefan out back with her, walking the intricate paths of the garden. The couple was quiet, though Stefan could tell that Rebekah had been wanting to say something. He had been able to tell for days, though he wasn't sure what it could be. Rebekah wasn't sure how to bring it up because she had no idea how he was going to react. Part of her understood why Violet just got pregnant without talking about it first, though she had seen how that ended and would never do it herself.

"Hey," Stefan stopped her, squeezing her hand. "What is it?"

"What's what?" Rebekah asked in confusion.

"Whatever's on your mind," he said, offering a comforting smile; Rebekah bit her lip.

"I've just been thinking a lot," she started off saying and noticed his expression. "Not that!" She was shaking her head. "Not that at all...sort of, um, the opposite of that?"

"Ok," Stefan said in confusion, though he wasn't sure what the opposite of splitting up was; continuing to stay together?

"I just...I see Violet," Rebekah tried to explain. "And my brother. And I see what they're going to have..." Stefan picked up on what she was saying now. She wanted to have a baby. "And I want that," she finally admitted. "I want to know...if you want that too?" Stefan was quiet for a moment.

"I mean," Stefan started to say. "I don't...really know?" Disappointment read all over her face. "I'm not saying no," Stefan said quickly. "All I'm saying is, that's a lot to take on. Kids and...us staying seventeen for their entire life." He squeezed her hand again. "Could we just think about it some more? Talk, before we make any big decision."

"Ok," Rebekah agreed, seeing the fairness in that, though all she wanted was to have a baby of her own.

Damon continued to drive non-stop until he got back to Mystic Falls the next morning. Grimoire under his arm, he walked up to his house where he knew Bonnie and Caroline had been staying anyway. He found them sitting at the table, waiting for him to show up. Without a word, Damon went over and dropped the book in front of Bonnie.

"Thank you Damon," she told him, though she didn't seem happy, her expression cold. She reached for the spell book, but he put a hand on top of it to stop her.

"Do you know what you're doing?" Damon asked her and she looked at him in confusion.

"I've done spells before," Bonnie told him sarcasticallhy. She was desperate for this spell, waiting for what felt like an eternity for Damon to bring it back. All she wanted was to bring Elena back.

"Not like this," Damon argued. He hadn't told her everything when he called her to let her know he had the spell, to keep her from acting out on his sister more. "The other witch, Kate, she said this wouldn't just bring back Elena."

"What are you talking about?" Caroline asked now.

"It's going to bring back everyone Violet's ever killed," Damon tried to explain, though Bonnie took the book out from under his hand so she could open it and start to read. "And, I guess since we're twins, it's going to bring back everyone that I've killed."

"Oh," Caroline said, stifling a laugh, earning a look from both Bonnie and Damon. "I'm sorry! But, that's a lot." She started holding up fingers to list. "Vicki Donovan, Lexi, Mason Lockwood-"

"So, that gets Matt his sister back," Bonnie argued to stop Caroline's list. "Stefan gets his best friend, Violet and Tyler get back their family..."

"But that's just three out of what I'm guessing is tons," Caroline said, getting another look from Damon. "Am I exaggerating?" Damon shook his head at her in annoyance, but knew it was true.

"Caroline isn't wrong," Damon admitted. "I'm over a hundred years old Bonnie, that's-"

"I don't see anything wrong with people getting their loved ones back," Bonnie continued to argue, though she was quickly getting out numbered.

"But Bonnie!" Caroline jumped in now. "Damon's been around since the Civil War. I bet you even killed people back then?" Damon nodded. "So you're just going to raise a bunch of soldiers from the 1860s? And everyone Damon's killed since then?"

"I don't care!" Bonnie finally snapped, getting up and grabbing the book to take with her. "I want my best friend back, our best friend." She shook her head. "And you can't stop me."

The next morning, Violet and Klaus had gotten up to start packing for their long weekend away. Klaus knew that she needed to get away, that all the stress from being at the house couldn't be good for her or the babies. He planned to take her to Savannah, Georgia, far from New Orleans and the controversies that were surrounding the house. He said he didn't want her to worry about anything, keeping an eye on things himself. If Stefan heard anything about what Damon was doing, he was going to call right away. Other than that, it was going to be a peaceful few days away. It was really what they both needed.

"I'm so happy we're doing this," Violet said as he grabbed both their bags. "Because I seriously don't know how it could get any crazier around here." As she opened the door for them to go to the hall, she immediately regretted her choice of words as she saw Elijah had come back, carrying a few bags; and he had brought a guest.

"Hey!" Katherine greeted them both. Violet's mouth dropped open. She knew that Elijah had started seeing Katherine again, Klaus had told her what happened in Baton Rogue, but she never expected that they would show up at the house to stay.

"Oh, I hope you don't mind," Katherine continued, though she knew it didn't matter and she didn't really care. It was Elijah's house too, he should be able to have whoever he wanted to stay there. "But, Elijah wanted to come back, and I didn't want to stay in Baton Rogue alone."

"I'll be in the car," Violet shook her head, going downstairs.

"Oh, and congratulations on the babies!" Katherine called down the steps after Violet, who slammed the front door so hard they could hear things downstairs shaking; Klaus looked to his brother.

"Thanks for that."

Damon spent days trying to track down Bonnie, having no idea where she had gone off to. He didn't find her at the old plantation house where she used to go to channel the spirits. She wasn't at her house, or at Caroline's. She didn't seem to be anywhere. Then, he realized exactly where she would be, racing in his car towards the cemetery. He found Bonnie in the woods, her body cold as he check for a pulse.

"Dammit Bonnie," Damon grumbled to himself. She would get herself killed trying to bring her best friend back. The selfish part of him wondered if she managed to succeed. That was when Caroline, who had been searching for Bonnie too, called him.

"Damon, you're going to want to get over here," Caroline explained and he hopped back into his car, heading back into town towards Caroline's home. As he took the back way to town, he had to slam on the brakes as someone appeared in the middle of the empty road.

"Hello Damon," the blonde smiled at him.

"Oh shit," Damon said quietly; Lexi.

Tyler knew why all of his friends were avoiding him. Whatever plan they were coming up with, he knew that he was the one that had to stop it if they were going to try to hurt Violet. They had been keeping him far out of the loop, knowing that he would have to tell Violet and Klaus if anything came up. It was starting to drive him a bit crazy though as his girlfriend and friends continued to avoid him. Hearing a knock at the door, part of him hoped it was one of them coming to explain. Opening the door though, he got quite the surprise.

"Tyler," he smiled at him.

"Uncle Mason?" Tyler asked in shock.

Klaus had been enjoying three peaceful days with Violet. She had finally started to unwind, letting herself try to forget about everything that was going on. Damon, Kol and Hayley, Katherine, Marcel. It all seemed to slip away as they spent a few days in Georgia. This morning, he was watching her sleep, perfectly content as he listened to the soft heart beating of his children. His son and daughter, Nicholas and...he knew he better think up a name quick before Violet asked again.

"What is it?" Violet asked sleepily, catching him watching her.

"What about Lily?" Klaus offered her.

"I like it," she smiled. "What made you think of that?"

"Trying to link the two of your names," he explained, since she was naming their son after him. "Went with your name being the flower, rather than the color." She laughed. "Until you want to name our daughter Magenta, then-"

"Lily is perfect," Violet smiled, kissing him. Hearing her phone ringing, they broke apart with a groan.

"Don't answer it," Klaus warned as she sat up, knowing every time she answered her phone it meant all hell was about to break loose.

"We have to go home tomorrow anyway," Violet shrugged as a reminder, answering Stefan's call. "Hello?"

"You, um," Stefan said as he looked at who was standing in front of him. "You're going to want to come home."

"Why?" Violet asked in confusion.

Earlier that morning, before his call to Violet, Stefan was up in the house alone with Rebekah. Katherine and Elijah were still upstairs and Kol was out, probably trying to pick up Hayley again. With everyone either away or accounted for, Stefan was a bit surprised to hear someone ringing the doorbell. Who would be coming to the house, that early? Anyone they really knew already had a key or someone to call to let them in. When he opened the door, he almost fell back with surprise, then he realized that Bonnie must have been successful in her spell. They knew that the spell would bring back everyone that Violet and Damon had killed, but Stefan had almost entirely forgotten about this one.

"Hello Stefan," the man said politely, giving Stefan a small smile. "I heard you were staying here, I was hoping Violetta might be with you?"

"Who is this?" Rebekah asked, coming up behind Stefan and observing the man in the doorway.

"Ah," Stefan hesitated as he looked at her. "Rebekah, this is Thomas." He looked back to the young man. "My brother-in-law."
