Salvatore Boarding House

As Elena, and the Bonnie possessed Jeremy place candles all around the living room, Kol impatiently waits in the center of living for Jeremy to some how untether him from the city.

As he waited in the center of the living room for the festivities to start, the impulsive and highly unstable original suddenly takes notice of the fact that Caroline Forbes is relentlessly staring at him.

So with a smug smile, Kola addresses Caroline with the most arrogant of tones. "You know darling, in stead of fantasying about how great I am in the sack, you could just offer."

"Ewww, in your dreams!" spat out Caroline in disgust.

"No need to hide your true feelings love, I know I'm a catch. Besides, that drool on the side of your face added with the way you're staring at me says other wise sweetheart." baited Kol

"Is it just you and Klaus, or does delusion of grandeur run in the family?" rebutted Caroline

"Ahhh I forgot, you only have eyes for Nik. You know many that have sampled us both have declared that I'm the better lover." teased Kol

"Hey, mini Elijah and Barbie vamp, this isn't vampire mingle got it. So how about saving the unsolicited flirting for after we get psycho original untethered and out of Mystic Falls." interrupted Damon, as he personally was getting tired of the back forth

"Flirting!?" blurted out Caroline, "I was not flirting, I was just wondering how can we be so sure that Kol here is going to keep his word. I mean for all we know, my mother's already dead." said Caroline.

"Caroline's right. How do we know Sherriff Forbes still alive and that you're going to honor your part of the deal." asked the Bonnie possessed Jeremy, just after setting down the last candle.

Alternating his glances between Jeremy and Caroline, Kol goes on to say. "I assure you the good sheriff's still alive, but for how much longer she remains that way is dependent on your ability to free me from Qetsiyah's binding spell.

"Yea, and you wouldn't lie to us just to get your way now would you." baited Damon

"Damon has a point, I mean it wouldn't be the first time an Original's went back on their word. How do we know you won't do the same." pointed out Stefan

"A very untrusting group you all are aren't you." said Kol in a now serious and Darkened tone. "So be it, I figured you people would need some convincing." finished Kol, just prior to putting the index and pointer finger from his right hand into his mouth and whistling.

After looking around at the rest of the gang, Damon then sets his gaze back on Kol. "What the hell was that?"

"You all needed proof, well there it is. Signed sealed and delivered." stated Kol, as he pointed towards the foyer.

With out any hesitation once so ever, everyone quickly peered into the foyer, and standing there bound and gagged and a little bruised was non other than Elizabeth Forbes. Who was being held captive by the once friend, recently turned vampire, April Young.

"Mom!" got out Caroline, before then instinctively super speeding towards her mother. But before Caroline could get close enough, April instinctively pulled Elizabeth behind her, but not before Kol super speed in front of Caroline cutting her off at the pass.

"Now, not so fast darling. I still need to be untethered from the town before you can get your mother back. So, shall we get down to business." smirked Kol.

Foreclosed House

"I don't believe you. There's no way Alex helps you bring darkness into the world." stated a now not so sure Aiden

"If I were you I wouldn't worry to much about it to right now. I mean after all, you already have your hands filled with trying to get Alex back as it is. Speaking of which, I'd hurry if I were you, I don't think she has very much time left." smiled Illianna, before then taking her leave.

With Illianna now gone, Aiden takes a minute to let everything that the original Petrova doppelgänger had just say sink in. As he now pondered over whether or not he was making the right decision in choosing Alex over Amelia.

"Hey, don't tell me your doubting your precious Alex now." spat out a now agitated Brianna

"I"m not, but let's say I just don't want to be making a big mistake here." said Aiden

"Did you not listen to what that woman said, it doesn't matter which one exists. Whatever it is she has planned either one of them will do, now snap out of it and come do whatever it is you need to do to ensure that Alex's persona prevails over Amelia's." demanded Brianna, as she now realized that Alex might in fact be the only hope she and her family had of ending the servitude that they were born into.

"You're right, if I truly believe in Alex then I shouldn't doubt her. Especially not just based off of Illianna's meaningless taunts." said Aiden to himself, just prior to setting his gaze upon Brianna. "Let's do this." said Aiden, with a new found sense of determination.

Now ready to do whatever it took to get Alex back. Aiden sits down in front of Brianna while she continues to firmly grip the picture of Alex, in one hand and the priestess's hair brush in the other.

"Ok, so here's the thing Bri, I need you to focus on Alex not Amelia." said Aiden as he grab a hold of Brianna's wrist.

"Not a problem, I think I can manage that." pointed out Brianna.

"Good, now close your eyes and focus on Alex. And no matter what you do, do not break the connection with Alex until I tell you I'm clear.

After a few good long minutes of just channeling, Aiden and Brianna were finally able to pick up on Alex's faint presence deep with in her and Amelia's subconscious.

"I can see her Aiden, she's curled up in ball. Completely surrounded by darkness, it's pretty overwhelming." described Brianna, as she had made the connection to Alex's subconscious.

Using Brianna's connection to Alex as gateway in to the young priestess's subconscious, Aiden projects himself into the Alex's psyche.

Now deep with in Alex's psyche, Aiden witnesses first hand what it is his fellow druid was actually going through. Seeing Alex off to the side curled up in a ball, Aiden slowly begins to proceed towards the young priestess while attempting to not spook her.

"Alex." called out Aiden

Raising her head from up out her lap Alex gazes upon Aiden, and remembered him as one of three responsible for the hell she was now going through. With that Alex quickly scurries to her feet as she then backs away from Aiden. "You, you and your friends did this to me. You're the reason I'm in this place. Whatever this place even is!" declares a an untrusting and fearful Alex

"Alex I didn't do this, but I can help you break free. You just have to be strong, Amelia gains power in your weakness." started Aiden

"No! Why should I trust you! It's a trick, this is a trick." muttered Alex

Seeing how being confronted with her past demons were emotionally scaring and draining the young priestess, Aiden knew he had to hurry and find away to save her, before she vanished from the face of existence.

Alex's Apartment

Amelia and Neil had been mixing words with each other for a good while now, when the two thousand and something year old priestess suddenly felt an unbalance with in herself.

"Amelia, Amelia what's the matter." asked Neil, immediately after noticing the shift in Amelia's demeanor.

"Something's wrong, I think someone's trying to freeing Alex." said Amelia, as she confirmed that there seemed to be another with in the confines of her mind.

"Well, who is it?" asked Silas, as this was the first thing he'd been able to say after the father and daughter duo got together.

"It seems my fellow druid and previous acolyte are hard at work trying to save my reincarnation. Well, I'm just going to have to do something about that now won't I." stated Amelia, as she began to force the intruder out of her mind.
