Chapter 24 – The Spell

"Are you ready?" Sabrina asked Kol.

Kol stared at her in surprise, "You want to do it now?"

Sabrina shrugged, "I know I said we would do it tonight, but everyone is gone so now would be perfect."

Kol nodded, "True, give me a minute and I'll tell Finn and Sage what is going on. They'll keep everyone from coming down here until further notice."

Sabrina wrinkled her brow, "Why Finn, why not Elijah or Niklaus?" She honestly wanted to know, Elijah and Niklaus had always seemed to be the ones in charge.

Kol smirked, "Finn took Elijah and Niklaus to task the other night, and I'd rather not get on his bad side right now."

Sabrina stared at Kol in shock, "Just how did he take them to task?"

"He, uh, handed out some old fashioned discipline." Kol explained delicately.

Sabrina winced, instantly understanding, "Yes, I agree. Let's not get on his bad side."

Kol nodded and opened up the link to Finn and Sage. "Hi Finn, Sage. Sabrina and I wanted to let you know that we are going to contact Henric to see what he thinks about our plan."

Finn frowned as he heard a Kol. Sage glanced at her husband as she replied, "Just how are you going to do that?"

Kol shifted uncomfortably, "Same as we did it before, only Alaric won't be the one with a broken neck."

"No, absolutely not." Finn declared harshly.

"It's the only way," Kol replied calmly, inside he was anxious. He worried that Finn wouldn't agree and he and Sabrina would have to disobey Finn.

"Is Sabrina strong enough," Sage asked concerned. "Last time she had Bonnie help her."

"She'll be fine, last time she had over exerted herself trying to locate Elena." Kol replied, a little surprised at the concern Sage had for Sabrina.

"You'll wait until Sage and I get there," Finn ordered.

Kol hesitated, weighing his options, then agreed. The options didn't really exist, He knew Finn wasn't going to take no for an answer.

"Fine, but do hurry, we want to get this done while the house is empty."

"Right," Finn cut the connection and contacted Elijah through their link. "Sage and I are needed at the house. Kol and Sabrina have to do a spell and I want to be there to make sure something doesn't go wrong."

Elijah frowned, "What kind of spell?"

"The kind where Kol ends up with a broken neck."

Understanding dawned on Elijah, "Ah. How is Kol taking your sudden overprotectiveness."

"I'm not sure, but he didn't argue."

"Right, well what do you need?"

"Someone to come help Elena and Rebekah, as well as someone else to keep everyone out of the house until Sage and I say otherwise."

"I'll come over there and inform Niklaus to keep everyone away from the house."

Elijah closed the link and turned to his brother and the others at the table. "Kol and Sabrina have decided to do a spell while everyone is out of the house."

Niklaus raised an eyebrow, "What kind of spell?"

"The kind where our little brother ends up with a broken neck." Elijah deadpanned, echoing Finn's words.

"They are contacting Henric?"

"Sabrina said she wanted to check with Henric and see what he thought about our preparations." Lucy spoke up. "She said she was going to do it tonight.

Elijah appraised the young witch as she spoke. Lucy hasn't been there when they had done the spell before, so she probably wasn't aware of the circumstances of the spell. She also believed that they would wait until tonight, he couldn't blame her for not saying something.

Niklaus frowned, "They must have decided to do it while no one was home. They are more than capable, what's the issue?"

"Finn wants to be there in case something goes wrong."

His brother snorted, "He's getting very over protective, might be worse than us."

Elijah smirked, "Perhaps, but do you really want to cross him right now."

Niklaus winced at the memory of Finn's correction the other night and shook his head. Elijah nodded, "Exactly, and I suspect that Kol doesn't want to either."

Lucy watched the exchange with an eyebrow raised but didn't say anything. Elijah intrigued her, and she wanted to get to know him.
