"It's not that I doubt your intentions of killing Niklaus, but why are you pacing like a madman on a bridge when I can almost smell that bastard less than 5 miles away?" Mikael asked as he watched Uriel go up and down the wickery bridge.
"Because it's not only Niklaus that I wish to end. Did you know, when an original dies, their whole bloodline ends with them?" Uriel asked as he started breaking the wood off of the corner of the bridge.
"No, I did not. And how did you know that?" Mikael asked.
"Have you heard from your sacrificial son for the past 300 years?" Uriel asked back.
"Finn? No, I haven't. Quite honestly, I have been so busy catching up on that dog that I didn't have the time to have a cup of tea with my other children." Mikael replied sarcastically.
"Well, news flash- He's dead. I killed him. And the 700 vampires of his bloodline," Uriel said hitting the axe forcefully and taking a plank of wood out with it.
"Watch it, Mikael. Don't do anything stupid," Uriel warned him as he saw Mikael take big strides towards him.
"You killed my son…"
"You see this plank I am holding right now? It's white oak. Do not make me kill you, Mikael." Uriel said waving the plank at him.
"Impossible. I myself burned the tree to the ground 1000 years ago. The only white oak wood present is with me," Mikael spoke, stunned at the revelation.
"Angels unlike witches, don't believe in balance. We are soldiers. We need weapons. And we always make sure we have weapons. There has always been white oak present."
"You plan on eradicating the whole vampire race…" Mikael muttered as realization dawned upon him.
"Yes, including you." Uriel replied folding his arms against his chest.
"I will not be the prisoner of the other side. If I die a vampire, I am cursed to watch the living. I will not have that." The veins on Mikael's forehead bulging as his facial muscles tightened.
"You don't have a choice. No matter how much I don't want to kill you..." Uriel paused to look up at Mikael and continued, "I still want to kill you," Uriel said as he casually broke another plank of wood off the bridge.
"Really? You wish to end me?" Mikael asked raising an elegant eyebrow.
"Yes. Vampires are filthy creatures. I have the means to end you and so.. i will."
"You knew about the weapons. You knew where to find us. Why wait for a millennia? You could have easily end us the day we were made into vampires."
When Uriel didn't reply and continued to break planks of wood from the bridge, Mikael started walking around him.
"Why the sudden need to kill, Uriel? Angels have been around long before Vampires. If you really did loathe us that much, you would have ended us long ago. But you didn't. Neither did any of your brethren." Mikael stopped behind Uriel as he contemplated Uriel's motives.
"I also don't see you with any kind of backup. Where are your mates, mate? Are you so arrogant to think you can take on Originals all alone?" Mikael asked with a sinister smile on his face as he moved in front of Uriel.
Uriel still remained silent which made Mikael itchy and he fired another question, "Why am i really here, Uriel?"
"I do not owe you any explanation but to make matters smooth, i will give you this- this end i sort... eradicating your species... let's just say that it's off the records." Uriel replied giving a hesitant nod.
"You mean to tell me, that angels do not support you on this?" Mikael scoffed.
"More like, they do not know about this," Uriel shrugged and packed the travel bags with wooden planks he had broken off the bridge.
"Well that gives me an advantage," Mikael flashed in front of Uriel and crossed his arms defiantly.
"I am holding the white oak right in my hands and you want to take on me? Are you that foolish Mikael?" Uriel asked raising his eyebrows.
"A deal. I help you end all the vampires and in return, you help me turn human again," Mikael spoke tilting his head in question.
"And how do you plan on doing that Magic Mike? Because i don't have that kind of juice anymore where i can turn you into human." Uriel asked narrowing his eyes.
"Esther can do it. Help me bring her back and she'll handle the rest," Mikael said shrugging the nickname off and walking straight back to the motel he was accommodating.
"I'll see what i can do," Uriel shouted back, picked the bags and started walking the other way.
"Hey Bon! What's up? I thought i'd swing by before going to Lena's," Caroline spoke enthusiastically as Bonnie opened the door to her house.
"I am a little busy, Care. Can I call you laters?" Bonnie asked peeking her head out from the door.
"Umm.. okay. But you have to call. I feel like we haven't talked in ages!" Caroline said before Bonnie slammed the door in her face after giving a short nod.
"That was weird," Caroline said to herself as she walked towards her car.
"She's gone. Now, explain!" Bonnie demanded taking a seat on her living room sofa.
"Bonnie, a war is coming. And we have to be on the right side. I cannot go into the details yet but I need to enter your body,"
"You want to possess me? Grams, what the hell are you talking about?" Bonnie asked wide-eyed.
"On the other side, there have been some talks and they need our help. I need to possess your body honey. Please don't fight me," Sheila tried to convince her.
"No! Absolutely not! Tell me what do you want to do and I'll do it for you but you are not possessing me!" Bonnie protested jerking up from the sofa.
"Honey, it's about your mother. I need to see her. And I know you won't be comfortable doing that, so just let me enter your body. I will do all the work and you won't even feel a thing. I need a medium and you are my bloodline. With you, I'll be at my strongest." Sheila explained as Bonnie gaped at her with mouth wide open.
"Grams, what's going on? This is.. freaking me out…"
"I can enter your body easily, Bonnie. I just need you to not fight me when I am in there. Can you please do that? Don't you trust your grams?"
"Ofcourse I trust you but why won't you tell me anything?"
"Because the less you know, the better it is for you. Now I don't have much time. He's coming and I need to find your mother,"
"Who's comi.." Bonnie started to ask when she suddenly fainted.
Sheila easily stepped into Bonnie's body and took off to find Abby Bennett.
"You found the witch?" Mikael asked as he saw Uriel come to the clearing.
"Yes. And she's resurrecting your wife as we speak."
"That was fast." Mikael commented with an impressed look.
"She knew the location of your wife's body. All I had to do was steal it. Now that that's done… we need to discuss strategy."
"Already ahead of you. I am gonna need a vampire brigade to keep my children busy while Esther does her thing," Mikael said pointing to numerous corpses that lay behind him in the clearing.
"They are Originals. Not to mention, my daughter has angelic powers. We need something better than newbie vampires to handle them." Uriel said assessing the number of vampires that were going to wake up any second.
"Are you sure we are doing the right thing, mom?" Abby asked as she held hands with her mom in Bonnie's body.
"They are going to eradicate the whole vampire race. Don't you want that? To live without the fear of these demons?" Sheila asked as she prepared the ingredients for the spell with the other hand.
"You haven't been in Bonnie's life and she might never forgive you for that but you owe it to her. You have no clue how much she has lost because of vampires. She needs this. You are going to do this for her." Sheila continued commandingly as she drew a symbol with salt on the coffin.
"Have you seen Niklaus?" Elijah asked entering their bedroom.
"No. I was about to go look for him. I haven't seen him since last night," Charmeine replied as she put on her dress.
Elijah walked forward and helped her with the zipper. Instead of doing it up, he started undoing the rest of it. His hands went around her stomach and he could feel the warm skin underneath, throbbing ever so lightly under his touch. A sense of satisfaction washed over him at her body's reaction to his touch. Charmeine moved her hands above her head and weaved them through Elijah's hair, pulling him down. Elijah placed soft kisses on her neck and her grip on his hair tightened. But before they could act on the certain thoughts that were clouding their mind, Elijah heard Kol call for him from the next room.
Charmeine turned around to face him and placed a chaste kiss on his lips. She smiled softly at him and urged him to go.
Kol again yelled for him.
Elijah cursed under his breath and walked out of the room.
"What?" he asked entering Kol's room.
"I need a drink," Kol said putting on his boots.
"Well then go find one. We have alcohol in the house." Elijah replied irritated. Sometimes Kol was just too much of a child to handle.
"No, you don't." Kol replied shaking his head vigorously.
"Yes, we do. Check the kitchen cabinets."
"Empty." Kol replied taking his leather jacket from the closet.
"Well then go check the liquor cabinet in the living room. I am sure you'll find something of your taste there,"
"Already checked. I have checked every single room, except yours and I didn't find one single drop of alcohol." Kol replied putting on the jacket.
"What.. I have the finest scotch collection in the living room cabinet." Elijah spoke before walking down the stairs towards the living room. When he reached there, he found the cabinet to be empty.
"See, told you!" Kol exclaimed happily.
"Who took all this?" Elijah asked furiously.
"Wasn't me," Kol replied shrugging his shoulders.
"Niklaus.." Elijah said. "But he doesn't even like scotch!"
"It wasn't Nik." Rebekah slurred from behind them.
"Bekah, how many drinks have you had?" Kol asked gingerly as he saw Rebekah sway to no music.
"2. Or 200. I don't know…" Bekah said calculating in her head but then waved her hand dismissively and walked back to her room.
"So, how about that drink now?" Kol asked turning back to Elijah.
"Fine. Just wait here. I'll grab the keys," Elijah said before flashing up to his room.
"I am taking Kol to the bar. Maybe I'll have some luck finding Niklaus there," Elijah said putting his suit jacket on.
"Okay. I am going to go see how Rebekah's doing," Charmeine replied as she put her heels on.
"Look who decided to join their little brother," Klaus exclaimed happily as he saw Elijah sit down on his right side. Kol sat on Elijah's right side, so that Elijah would be in the middle of him and Klaus.
"I see you brought the non-bastard son with you," Klaus noted sarcastically to Elijah as he saw Kol order a drink.
"Not now Niklaus," Elijah warned as he saw Kol stiffen up beside him.
"Do you hear that?" Elijah asked after a few minutes of sitting in silence with his brothers.
"Hear what? It's silent." Kol replied nonchalantly.
"Too silent," Klaus said as he strained his ears to pick on any noise.
"Why are there no heartbeats?" Elijah asked as he looked around. He could tell from their faces that they were locals. He had seen them around town now and then.
"Better question is, Why are there so many vampires?" Klaus spoke as he too looked around. 20 people but not a single human.
Suddenly Elijah stood up and went over to a nearby table. Klaus and Kol could hear him introduce himself to a young woman of 20. She smiled and nodded while Elijah introduced himself. She replied and moved her hand forward to shake. But Elijah took it and kissed her knuckles.
"Not that I would mind but I never figured Elijah to be the cheating type," Kol spoke raising an eyebrow.
"Oh, so you are talking to me now?" Klaus asked turning to right.
Kol just scowled in return and went back to his drink.
Elijah walked back and paid for all of their drinks and motioned Klaus and Kol to follow him.
Klaus paid some more because apparently he had been drinking a lot. They both followed him out and continued to walk down the street as Elijah continued walking.
Kol paced a little faster and caught up with Elijah.
"What was that, back there? Are you planning on cheating on Meina?" Kol asked narrowing his eyes at him.
Elijah saw the concerned look that flashed Kol's face for a second. If the situation weren't so urgent, he would have argued with Kol about that. About why he was so concerned about him cheating on Meina when not a day ago he had lectured Elijah about trusting Charmeine.
"I was smelling her," Elijah replied as they turned a corner. Klaus too had caught up with them and was listening in on the conversation.
"Smelling her? I figured Nik would be interested in such perverse things. Not you. " Kol exclaimed coming to a sudden stop, causing Klaus to run into him.
"Watch it!" Klaus and Kol both yelled at each other at the same time.
Elijah grabbed both of their arms and flashed into the forest once they were out of sight of the town people.
"What the hell?" Klaus exclaimed as he flung into the tree.
"Those vampires back there? They are the town locals. I have seen them around here. They have been turned recently," Elijah explained before any of the brother could yell more.
This caught Klaus's attention.
"And the reason I was smelling her was because of her scent. Her blood was different." Elijah continued as he saw he had both of his brother's attention."Her blood smelt like Charmeine."
"Okay, I am not going to ask how you know what Charmeine's blood smells like because honestly, I don't want to know. But what does that mean? Charmeine isn't a vampire…" Klaus spoke standing straight.
"Exactly. Charmeine isn't a vampire and yet that girl's blood smelt like hers. Which means, that girl had angel blood in her system," Elijah concluded looking at Klaus.
