They searched all night in hopes to find Elena and there brother but there wasn't any sign of them, even Rebekah was concerned for the wellbeing of her brother, she hardly cared for Elena, she left that to her overly obsessed brothers.
Niklaus had returned to the hotel, rage still consuming him, he picked up any object that was near him and threw it across the room, "How did we let this happen?"
"We will find them, Nik." Rebekah tried to reassure.
"We looked all night and nothing, unless you have some type of lo-jack that allows you to find the demon king, then we're stuck at a dead end." Klaus' was still yelling, not necessarily at Rebekah, just in general.
Elijah did not speak, his mind was racing far too much to even contemplate words; he had to find her, he had to bring her back to him and he needed her safe, he felt guilty for the fight they had earlier, that couldn't be the last time he would see her. His pain was overwhelming.
"Niklaus, contact the airline and Bonnie Bennett, get her here sooner," Elijah spoke, the only plan he had, "She may be able to locate Elena."
He nodded his head in approval and exited the room, dialling Bonnie's number into his phone; the airline he would have no issue with and he hoped that once learning of Elena's capture, she would be willing to come as quick as possible.
...
A short while had passed before he entered the room once more, "The Bennett witch cannot come for another 2 days, she has other business to attend to tomorrow and she'll leave that same night, arriving in the next morning, I've changed her flight details with the airline and until then, she'll try a couple of spells but she doesn't believe they'll extend as far as here, especially if the warlocks are masking Elena with magic."
"They won't harm her or Kol, I don't understand why he needs them, Elena because her blood binds the weapon but he needs the other half to ensure it will be fully destroyed, we have that piece, I'd expect an attack."
"I really hope they do." Klaus spat, he wanted to kill them all; his rage came from his concern for Elena, his heart ached ever so slightly at her capture, the fact that she wasn't here where he could protect her was bad enough but that he hadn't honoured his end of the deal by keeping her safe was truly eating away at him. He missed her smile.
"We'll spend the next two days searching for them until Bonnie arrives, hopefully we'll pick up a scent." Elijah spoke, trying to remain as calm as normal as to not spark suspicion.
-w-
A day had passed and Elena had no idea where she was; she knew she was in a house of some kind as she was locked away in attack, Kol had been ordered to guard her, he just stood by the door, he didn't move or speak and his where still bright blue. He had been ordered to kill her if she escapes.
She pleaded with him constantly and tried to reach him, anything to break that spell.
"Kol, we have to leave." She pleaded once again, "They're going to kill us."
Nothing. Not a word or even a flinch.
"Your family is going to find us, you'll never forgive yourself if you did anything to them." She growled under breath, annoyed at the monks mainly but she was terrified.
"There's only 2 days left until the ritual, they're going to sacrifice 3 innocent people and start the end of the world, I know there's still a part of you in there that can't allow that to happen." She was stood in front of him, looking him straight in the eye but he did not move, she grabbed onto his arms and tried to shake him out of it.
He threw her backwards all the way to the other end of the room, she hit the floor once again.
She pulled herself up into a sitting position, not a glimmer of hope left within her; her mind kept wandering to Elijah and how she wished he would come crashing through the door and take her away from here. She too was feeling the guilt about the way they left things.
She couldn't help but think of Klaus as well, they had bonded slightly, she missed him too. Not so much Rebekah though, she didn't like her too much.
Suddenly, Kol had moved his head towards her, his eyes locking on hers; Elena jumped slightly and pulled herself up onto her feet.
"Kol," She said, her voice low and full of fear, "What is it?"
He said nothing once again and began walking slowly towards her; she followed his gaze and found that he was staring at her arm, she hadn't noticed the blood trickling down to her wrist, she must have cut her arm when he threw her.
"No, Kol, don't," She tried to move away but she couldn't move any further back, she panicked as he neared her, "Please, Kol, stop!"
There was no reaching him; he lunged at her, his fangs plunging into her wrist; she fell to the ground, a writhing pain in her wrist as he drank from her, she thought that this would be it, that her death would come by the hand of Kol.
But he suddenly flew back, his body thrashing about the floor.
Elena wiped the tears from her face and watched as he struggled; he pushed his hands into his head before he finally lay still on his back, his eyes returning to there normal shade of brown. He lay still for a moment, his mouth stained with Elena's blood.
He sat up, frantically looking around the room before landing his gaze on Elena, "What happened?"
"Kol?" She said, questioning if he really had returned, "Is it you?"
"Well, who else would it be?" He quipped, his voice full of sarcasm.
"Definitely you." She rolled her eyes and approached him, kneeling down in front of him, "Don't you remember anything?"
"The last thing I remember was the crypt, the warlocks attacked us," He paused, trying to remember any little detail, "After that, darkness. Like I was asleep."
"You weren't asleep, they put you under some kind of mind control spell, we've been here for nearly 2 days."
"Did I feed from you?" He said, wiping the blood from his lips and clocking the puncture wounds on her arms.
She thought for a long moment, remembering what the monks said about her bloodline being connected to them all; if her blood was what would kill him in the end, maybe it would render his magic useless too.
"I guess my blood broke the spell." She furrowed her brows, trying to figure it all out.
"Well, thank you," He tried to stand up but his body still weak, Elena extended a hand and he took it, she helped lift him from the ground and he gave her a smile, first of its kind from him, "So, where are we?"
"I'm not sure, the warlock knocked me unconscious and when I woke up, I was in here."
"Can we escape?" Kol asked.
"I don't want to try, the place is swarming with warlocks, we'll never make it past the door."
"So we're just supposed to stay here until they eventually kill us?" Kol didn't like this plan at all.
"I'm hoping your family will find us soon, 4 original vampires stand a better chance than just 1 and a weak human doppelganger," She smirked at her last comment, Kol responded with a chuckle, "If we need to fight we will, I'm not gonna let them kill me that easy."
"What do we do when they find out you broke there spell on me?"
"I guess that's when we have to fight."
-w-
The next day, Elijah and Klaus had gone to meet Bonnie at the airport, almost to eager for her arrival; when they seen her exit the airport, they instantly approached her.
"I thought you'd never get here," Klaus spoke, his patience was thin, he wanted Elena and Kol back immediately and he hated not getting his own way.
"It's good to see you, Miss. Bennett," Elijah smirked, "I hope you're flight wasn't too tedious."
"It's good to see you too Elijah! It was fine, first class helped." She smirked at him, completely disregarding Klaus' comment.
"Come," He gestured towards the car parked behind them, "We need to find Elena and my brother."
Bonnie nodded her head at Elijah and proceeded to throw her bags into the boot and climb into the car; they sped off towards the hotel.
"I tried doing a locator spell from home but it wouldn't work; even when it did, it didn't give me a specific location, only that she was in London, didn't really narrow it down."
"Do you think it will work from here?" Asked Klaus.
"There's a good chance. The warlocks must not be masking her because the previous spells I performed did give a location, just not a specific one. They must not be aware you have a witch helping you and didn't see the point to a masking spell."
"Then speed up, brother, we're running out of time."
Klaus responded by putting his foot down and racing down the road towards the hotel.
They arrived 15 minutes later and went straight to the penthouse, Bonnie gathered all the necessary ingredients she would need and a map; she lit a few candles around the map and threw several ingredients into a pestle and mortar and ground them into a paste.
"Do you have anything of Elena's?"
"I'll look," Elijah stepped away and located her bags; after a quick rummage, all he could find was a hairbrush, several strands of her attached to it, he took it too Bonnie, "Will this suffice?"
"It will work." She took the several strands of her and placed them in the pestle and mortar, grinding once more before placing the brush in the centre of the map.
She lowered her head, her eyes closed as she whispered a chant beneath her breath; the flames on the candle extinguished and as she got further into the spell, the brush was levitated into the air.
Klaus and Elijah watched her intently, hoping that this would work and bring Elena back to them.
Bonnie raised her hands in front of her, the spell becoming more intense, the flames lit once more and a spark of the flame landed on the map and the spell was complete.
They all instantly looked at it, Klaus said "Right on the outskirt of Epping forest."
"Let's go," Bonnie said.
"Definitely not," Elijah protested, "Elena will never forgive us if we let you come with us and something happened to you, I won't risk it."
"Elena's my best friend, I'm coming whether you like it or not," She crossed her arms across her chest, her foot tapping the ground in annoyance, "Plus you need me, this is a place full of warlocks, having a witch on your side might be helpful."
Elijah shot a glance at Klaus who nodded his head, "Fine. Let's go."
-w-
They drove to the forest with haste, arriving 1 hour later, they went as close as they could by car but when the road stopped at the foot of the forest, they had to walk the rest of the way; Klaus was impatient so he just grabbed Bonnie and they sped off towards the location on the map.
They came to an old mansion; there was 4 floors, one being an attic. Elijah pointed his ear towards the house, listening in for any sign of Elena; a few minutes had passed and nothing until he heard her speak to Kol, they where discussing what they might do if they had to fight.
"They're in the attic," He announced before turning to Bonnie, "I can also hear about 15 separate heartbeats, must be the warlocks. Can you cast some sort of spell to mask us before we go any closer?"
"I can try, after I've done that, I'll follow you. Trim the herd a bit." She began casting.
"Let's go, brother," Niklaus was far too excited to finally get in there.
They peered through the windows, there seemed to be less of them in the back of the house; they crept in through the unlocked back door, Niklaus having to snap the neck of a warlock that was roaming in the hallway, he placed the body in the cupboard under the stairs.
They continued through the house, using there speed to climb the staircases.
A warlock appeared in front them, Elijah instantly ripped his heart out and caught the body, this was almost a reflex for him. He peered his head around the door the warlock emerged from, when he knew it was clear, he placed his body down in there and they continued to move through the house as stealthy as possible before reaching the attic. The door was locked.
Klaus pushed his arm against the door and forced it open; there stood Elena, a knife to her throat and a warlock grabbing her from behind, Kol was magically stuck up against a wall and couldn't move.
"Let her go," Elijah demanded, a sudden smirk appearing on his lips, "Or we will kill you all."
"Are you willing to risk her life?" The warlock spoke, "How fast are you?"
Whilst he was speaking, Klaus had sped behind him, pushing his hand through his back and gripping his heart, "Extremely."
As he pulled out his heart, he took the knife from his hand and let his body drop to the floor. Kol fell when the spell broke.
"Elijah," Elena instantly said his name, she had to fight every urge in her body to just embrace him, too feel the safety of his hold, "Klaus."
She smiled at them both, wiping a few stray tears from her face.
"We have to go," Klaus smoothed his hand over the top of her arm, noticing the puncture wounds on her wrist, "Who did this to you, Elena?"
She didn't speak.
"Elena, who did this to you?" He repeated, his voice becoming angrier.
"It was me." Kol spoke, as he approached his brother from behind; Niklaus instantly grabbed his neck and forced him into the wall.
"What where you thinking?" Klaus growled.
"Klaus, it wasn't his fault," Elena came up behind him and placed her hand on the arm that held Kol, "It was the spell, my blood actually broke him from the curse."
"That doesn't excuse him for feeding from you," He growled at the thought of it, enraged.
"What, brother? Only you can have her blood, is that it?" Kol argued and Klaus responded by throwing him across the room, using his speed to catch him before he landed and throwing him once again into the wall.
Elijah interjected and separated them both, his hands pushing them away from each other, "We don't have time for this, I have to get Elena to safety. All this noise will have alerted them, we have to go."
As much as Klaus wanted to rip Kol's head off, he knew Elijah was right; he ceased his fight with his brother and they all proceeded to leave the room.
When they reached the bottom of the house, the front door was blocked by the other warlocks, Elijah counted 10.
"This will be fun," Klaus was ready for a fight, almost too excited to kill them all.
Suddenly, the door blasted open and the warlocks had been levitated into the air, Bonnie entered, her arms raised and she was chanting once again, her voice intense; the warlocks where trying to gasp for air before she snapped there necks and they all fell to the ground.
"You could have saved me one!" Klaus smirked.
"Bonnie?" Elena exclaimed before running to her best friend and pulling her in for a hug, practically crying at the sight of her, "I'm so happy to see you."
"I've missed you, Elena," She returned her hug and tears and they just held each other for a moment.
"This is all very touching but can we continue this at the hotel? I don't feel like running into more warlocks." Klaus quipped.
They broke there hug and they all left the house, walking through the forest and returning to the car; Elena and Bonnie fully engaged in the start of a long catch up conversation that was long over due.
