Ocean

-Off the coast of the Island where Silas is buried-

"You're going to kill Silas?" Kol asked for the seventh time that day as they rode across the ocean on the ferry. After the plane ride to Virginia and then the long car ride there, Mike should have known that telling him was a bad idea. The blonde male turned his head towards the vampire and would have sent him overboard if he didn't need him for his plan to through.

When he learned through his sources that a professor by the name of Atticus Shane had found Silas's tomb and even worse, was teaching his descendant how to use Expression, Mike had made sure he would kill him. But not before he taunted Silas himself. Despite loving another woman, Silas did love Qetsiyah and it was that love that was his downfall. He had struggled to chose and thought a human had been the right answer.

Mike smiled sadly. Qetsiyah had been the only woman he had ever conceived a child with that was not his wife. He did miss her but her spirit had moved on years before. He had left her when he found out what he was, happy to learn that his unborn child had not been a user of the craft.

"Yes," he answered the vampire's question. "I am going to raise him and then when he believes he is at his most powerful, I am going to rip his heart out of his chest and burn his bones. And once that is done, I'm going to take his ashes and use them to dust my roses."

"I do believe that last part was sarcasm," Kol quipped. Mike looked at the vampire. He knew beyond those dark brown eyes were the mischievousness honey colored ones Bonnie loved. They were the same as Bella's he knew. They were twins after all. Kol's smile faded and he looked out at the sea. "I really don't like this idea."

Mike nodded in understanding, "I'm aware. I do not like it myself but this has to be done. Bonnie does not know I exist and neither did any of her fellow family members, sans Abigail and Emily. But I've done my waiting and now she needs me. Her father is a coward and so is her mother. I will not allow that girl to be used and abused anymore. The only people who love her are the Gilbert boy, the Forbes girl, your brother's hybrid, the medium and you."

Kol nodded. Bonnie's safety was rarely an issue with the Salvatores and even Elena had seemed to forget that she was a person and a magical S.O.S. When she informed him that Damon and even Stefan had threatened her life multiple times, Kol had almost killed Damon with his baseball bat.

"Which brings to my attention," Mike said and looked at him. "When did you and Bonnie meet?"

Kol laughed. "I had met her after my mother's little ball. She had been at the Grille and I felt her power. I wasn't looking for a food supply but her power called out to me. I just wanted to tease her. I had no plans on using her. She almost killed me before I told her I simply wanted to buy her a drink."

"Alcohol really? Every smooth of you Mikaelson," muttered Mike.

"As I was saying," said the Original. "I bought her a drink, non-alcoholic to ease your troubles, we talked. I learned of her troubles and when my mother tried to kill us, I felt betrayed that Bonnie stood there, with Finn and my mother in that ring of fire. But even in that moment, with the light radiating in her eyes, I thought she was beautiful. I didn't know what it was, but I wanted to be with her. When I learned that Abby had been turned, I showed up at her house when Caroline was out teaching her mother how to be a vampire." He remembered that day. The day his witch had opened up the door, her eyes red puffy from crying. He told her not to invite him in and when she stepped out on the front porch, he held her. Just held her and listened to her.

Once all her tears were gone, he brushed his thumb along her cheek and found her eyes still beautiful. She had looked beautiful. Without a word, the Original had bent down and planted a kiss close to her lips, close enough to get a feel of how soft they were but still safe enough for it not to be a complete kiss. After that, whenever Caroline had left, he would sweep her away for few hours, taking her through the wildlife of Mystic Falls showing her things he knew she had never seen.

"So you two are secretly a couple," smiled the blonde witch. "I like that. A little Romeo and Juliet thing going on. Hopefully neither of you die."

Kol frowned. "I won't die, I would turn human for her."

Mike scoffed, "Or you could keep your vampirism and she can become an immortal witch like myself."

The two stared at each other before Mike turned over his shoulder. "We're docking," he announced.

The Island

-Silas's Tomb-

Mike watched from the shadows as Jeremy Gilbert's form fell to the ground, a part of himself tightening. He would admit, the boy was a handsome specimen, especially with his shirt off, but he was in the way. Yet something told him that without Jeremy, he couldn't really focus. Bonnie had dropped before he did, Kol having stabbed her in the back. She knew the plan but still, she wasn't going to be happy when she woke up.

He stepped out the shadows, stepping over an unconscious Shane and towards Bonnie. He bent down and picked her up by her lower back, careful of the wound. "Bonnie," he said slowly, knowing she was blinking in and out of consciousness. "Bonnie dear can you hear me?"

She moaned softly, "Who...?"

He grinned, sighing in relief. "I'm Mike," he answered her question and brushed the hair out of her eyes. "Listen to me, baby girl, I'm going to heal the wound but it's going to hurt. Do you trust me?"

She nodded weakly.

He brought his hand up to the wound, muttering in Latin the healing spell he had learned years before. He could feel it closing as he poured more energy into it. Once it was closed, he set her down and turned towards Jeremy's body. His heart felt tighter as he gazed upon the hunter. So young, he mused as he arose and walked towards him. He peered down at the empty brown eyes, wondering if there had been a spark of youthful innocent there once. He bent down and closed his eyes, and muttered a prayer of farewell. For now, he reminded himself as he arose and walked towards Silas's regenerating corpse.

"You look so weak," said the witch, a murderous glint in his eyes. "But killing you doesn't seem like something that would be too fun right now. Now, I'm going to bide my time. And the fun part about this," he paused and bent down, taking the cure from his chest. "You can't hear me."

He pocketed the small vial and turned back towards entrance to the cave. He hummed and looked right back to Bonnie. He bent down and kissed her forehead. "Soon you won't be alone. I promise."

He walked towards the entrance, feeling horrible for leaving the Gilbert boy and his family there.

Mystic Falls

-Mystic Grille-

Bella was getting impatient. She would not lie, it had been almost thirteen hours since she had heard from Mike or Kol and it was causing her to worry. Declan had gone to get her some alcohol and she was having a hard time trying to control her urges. With Edward breathing down her back, almost literally since he was sitting across from her, his now emerald eyes staring at her. In order for the Cullens to fit in Mystic Falls, Mike was able to give them the appearance of traditional vampires; they still had their abilities, but now the sunlight didn't make them sparkle.

"Calm down love," Edward said. She shot him a glare.

"I'm not your girlfriend." she stated.

He looked hurt by that fact. But she didn't care, he needed to understand she loved Declan. "Bella everything will be okay. I'm sure Mike and Kol are fine—ouch!"

Bella retracted her foot, having kicked him hard in the leg. "No one knows my brother is alive, Edward. Thank you for announcing it to the world."

"Announcing what to world?" Both looked up to see a woman with short blonde hair and a sheriff's uniform. Bella instantly knew who she was, while Edward could hear her thoughts of how she hoped they weren't vampires.

"Oh just that we're no longer dating," Bella smiled.

Liz looked confused, "Oh alright. Well I don't think I've ever seen you two before."

Edward flushed. "I'm Edward and this is Bella."

The Original scoffed and raised an eyebrow at the sheriff, "Do you think we're a threat? I can assure you we are not. Edward and I are simply here to see a friend."

"Who might that be?" Liz asked. Bella looked around and smiled when she found who she was looking for. Bonnie Bennett waltzed into the establishment, looking hurt, confused and worried.

"Bonnie over there!" she cried.

The emerald eyed witch turned to her and she instantly waltzed towards them. However, as the witch came towards them, Bella caught sight of her brother, Klaus, walking through the door.

This was not going to end well.

Mystic Falls

-The Burned Remains of the Gilbert House-

Mike started at the remains of the house. In his hand were the Gilbert rings, an old grimoire, a ring and a sweater. He placed the items in the bowl and poured his blood over them.

"Is this even safe?" he turned his head towards Jasper and smiled at his old friend. "You just said this could kill you."

"I said it will kill me," said the witch. "I have to die to pass through the in-between. You'll be here for when I wake up. And Kol once he wakes up in his damn body."

He couldn't help but smile when he thought of what Rebekah's expression will be when her brother jack-knifes away in his coffin.

Shutting his eyes, Mike began the chant. Blood dripped from his nose and out his ears as his heartbeat quickened and stopped. He fell to the floor, dead to the world.
