"So this is his family?" Elena asked raised brows, not at all surprised to find the Original Hybrid's family members lying inside coffins in front of her.

Bonnie stared at the one coffin that had her hooked from last night's dream. Still, she was believing it wasn't the ancestors - the second time.

His voice was ringing her ears. Alluring, it was.

"Bonnie!" Elena brought her back to the land of living. "What's wrong?"

"I-" Bonnie wasn't sure she was ready to share her thoughts, so she jumped into another topic. "We need to open the coffin quickly." She spoke about the box that was having the weapon. Though her eyes glued to the alluring one and she had this urge to open that box. "But it was locked with a spell." She said distractedly.

So enchanting that the power wanted her to open the box and look at the source—at the man.

Or it was her feeling.

"You think you can break through the spell?" Elena kept speaking about the locked coffin.

Focus!

The witch shrugged lightly, thinking of how to initiate. Staring at the books of spells for a minute or two, she drew conclusion.

But she was not sure if it was possible.

"Maybe I can by taking some help." Bonnie replied distantly.

"From whom?" Elena's curiosity piqued in.

Go for it, said the familiar sultry voice. Bonnie did not see it coming. The force was guiding her now? I believe you, it told, I will always believe you.

Bonnie felt nauseous, assuming that she was hallucinating. But her instinct was to accept the voice and put her thoughts into action.

Only the Bennett line of witches could undo the spell and for that so much energy was required. And hence she decided.

Although she was driving her thoughts weren't in order. Throughout the way, Bonnie was in that state of mind. Elena spoke of Damon pursue, humanity less Stefan-still the Bennett witch didn't participate in the discussion like she used to.

"She is going to be here for sure?" Elena asked her friend, as soon as they parked in front of a house.

Bonnie came to the real world when she nodded as yes. "Abby has to be here."

Or else she could not unlock the weapon to destroy the Original Hybrid.

Bonnie made sure all of her inhibitions disappeared by the time she hit the buzzer. They exchanged looks when the door wasn't open after she buzzed more than five times. Assuming no one was inside, they were about to come back and plan something else.

But Abby opened the door.

Bonnie fluttered eyes watching her aged mother. The woman looked between both the teenagers and smiled hesitantly before realization hit her. "Bonnie?"

"-it consumed my magic." Abby explained how captivating Mikael and putting him down had taken away her witch powers. Bonnie could feel her suffering, her distress for losing a part of her. Though it did not explain why she had left when Bonnie needed her most.

"I'm nothing without it," Abby stared at her entwined fingers.

Anger seethed in Bonnie's veins. "So, leaving the town, leaving us, leaving me is the best you could come up with?"

Abby clearly understood Bonnie's pain. "I'm useless, Bonnie. I know my decisions weren't appropriate, but-" she sighed from the chair. "I'm more willing to make it up to you!"

The youngest Bennett hardly remember Elena's presence in the room until she moved from her seat and explored the surroundings.

"I don't want to hear this." She was harsh, she knew, but she could not help it. All those sleepless nights she had when she was a kid were partly because of her mother. She stood there waiting for many days until she figured out Abby was not going to return for a lifetime. "I came here to you because I need to break a spell. Only you could help me with that."

"I'm out of magic, Bonnie." Abby reasoned.

"Magic is boundless." Bonnie did not lose hope. "Please, mother, try it for once." Abby's expression was mixture of uncertainty and accordance. So, the younger one did not give up her pursue. "Try for me."

With much difficulty, she did agree. Bonnie breathed in relief and glanced at her friend who was gazing at a chain. Abby followed her eye and found Elena bringing long necklace to their notice.

"Oh, this!" Abby smiled fondly running fingertips on the pendant. "It has been passed down since the ages."

Bonnie got a chance to take look of it. Star and the converging circles of the silver pendant- she liked it.

For you.

Never had she intrigued to possess an ornament, but she wanted to keep it.

"Can I take this?" Shamelessly she asked her mother.

"It is all yours."

Bonnie did not understand why Kol would come home swinging at nights. Even his words differ, his voice would slur. But he would smile at her sweetly before closing the door of his room.

The five-year-old wanted to ask her caretaker why Kol's behavior was odd at nights, but she never did for was not feeling comfortable with the old woman.

Bonnie knew the old woman's intentions were not cold and she was nicely feeding her, taking her for walks in the garden. She would sing for her and narrate fairy-tales before sleep. But the little girl could say that old woman was not being lively-almost mechanical.

So, she could not get attached to her caretaker. And that made her want to get back to her aunt.

But last night put Bonnie in terror. She had seen Kol's new face-he became a monster and did something to one of the servants that he collapsed on the ground and never came to life again. Bonnie peeped in when she heard dread filled screams. When Kol was done he was smirking, his body let out a swing of euphoria. The little witch shivered when Kol glanced at her.

He took a step at her, but Bonnie let out a piercing cry and ran to her room.

She was safe in her room, that's all she knew.

Restless all night, Bonnie embraced the morning distastefully. Though she was hungry and thirsty she did not try to step out of the room, for Kol's murderous face re-winded in her head.

That's when she heard unlocking sound of her door. Hoping to see Paige, her caretaker, Bonnie froze in her bed.

It was Kol. In humane form.

But it did not stop sending chills to her little body.

"Good morning, darling." He greeted merrily with a tray in his hands. "I heard you did not come out of the bed."

Bonnie gulped more than a couple of times. Fear spiked up with every step he took closer and she sank into bedding further.

Placing tray on the table beside bed, he settled at one of the corners. The little girl blinked her green eyes at his smirking face.

"Come here." He sighed.

Scared, she did what he said. Taking her on his lap, Kol patted on her head. "What is wrong, little one?"

He might be anything, but he was always gentle with her. Strange, but Bonnie eased up sooner than she expected, as if she knew he would not harm her.

Though it did not mean she was terrified of his monstrous face.

Gathering her confidence, she touched Kol's cheek, projected what she had seen on the previous night, her fear and blood crawling from his mouth. His body tensed a little before he spoke.

"Oh, that?" Kol purred. "I have punished that man, for his wrong doing."

After contemplating, Bonnie shivered pressing her tiny palm to his jaw again. She did not wish to get punished like that man, weakly she expressed her feeling to Kol.

He chortled when he had to assure. "I would never think of doing that to you, innocent one."

Bonnie sighed in content and relief.

"There is something I want to give you." Kol added, elevating his brows. "But first you need to finish the food I brought you."

Well she had no problem to oblige, for she was famished. And when the food was complete, Bonnie turned to him excitedly.

Kol smiled, taking out a long silver necklace. Bonnie parted her lips, surprise clouded her baby eyes, as she took the chain and inspected the pendant. Star and circles. She didn't know what it was for, but she quite liked it.

"For you." He leaned back on his palms, observing her.

Remembering her aunt's words-that it was manners to thank him- Bonnie curtsied at him.

"I made it by myself. Do you want to put it on?" He inquired and she shook head as yes. "Here, let me help you."

Bonnie was all grinning ear to ear by the time that chain reached her neck. Her eye halted at the pendant for long time.

"You know what does that mean?" Kol tested her knowledge. When she pouted as no, he replied. "It is to bring the best out of you, that's all should you know."

Confused at first, Bonnie batted eyelids at his mysterious expression, but then she beamed at him. All she knew was he meant only good for her.
