Hello, this chapter ended up being longer then expected.

I hope you enjoy it.

-The Darekening Heart.

High Castle - Freya's Garden

Kol and Davina quietly stood behind Freya as she made the potion to protect Davina from her blood being used against her. She picked up a small dagger, and the small bronze bowl which held a bluish green liquid. She turned to face Davina and handed her the dagger. "I need a small drop of your blood." Davina takes the it and pricks her right index finger letting a small drop fall into the bowl. Freya takes the dagger back and places it next to an unrolled scroll that sits in the middle of the table. The scroll has a drawing of an eight pointed star surrounded by eight symbols. Freya puts the bowl in the middle of the star. "O wend ykoo cing edwoerc purl, o poan trol jehi." Davina looks at her in confusion as Freya speaks a language she has never heard. Freya repeated the spell two more times. When she was done the liquid in the bowl ignited with a blue flame. "It's done." She turns and looks at Davina and Kol.

"What language was that?"

"An ancient language no one knows the name of. According to Glenda it was the first language, or at least the oldest we know of."

"Glenda?"

"The bitch who took Freya when she was young." Kol said with disgust.

"So, are you two going to tell me why I had to do this spell?" Kol remains calm and just gives his sister a look which says, mind your own business. She rolls her eyes at him and then looks at Davina. She looks anywhere but except Freya. She sighs and shakes her head. "Fine don't tell me, but be careful with whatever is going on." She looks at Kol "If you need help, I'm here."

Kol gives her a reassuring smile. "I know." He takes Davina's hand and walks out of the garden. She smiles looking at their intertwined hands.

"They're gone, you can come out now." Freya looks to her left to see Klaus step out from the shadows. "I'm shocked that you didn't just barge in and demand Kol and Davina tell you what they are planning."

Klaus gives her a blank stare. "Let's just say that something has come up that has me questioning my past actions. I'm trying a different approach for now."

Freya may not be as close to Klaus like Rebekah was, but she is very observant, and even though Klaus is hiding it very well she can still see the fear in his eyes. "Something happened at the Bennett Castle."

"I saw Abby Bennett's ghost."

"Really, what did she say?"

"She said, 'They lied to me.'"

"Who?"

"I think she means Jonas Martin."

"What did he lie to you about?"

"He told me that about some prophecy that the Bennetts would be our downfall."

"And you believed him?"

"He showed it to me. It was in an ancient book he found in some ruin while he was traveling. The thing is I now believe more than ever that the prophecy is true, just not the way he wanted me to believe."

"What do you mean?"

"Abby also said something about Zyair, who, will wake soon."

"Who is Zyair?"

"I'm not sure, but I think we'll find the answer in that book."

"We?"

"Yes, we. Rebekah has run off and Kol seems to be busy with whatever is happening with Davina. And I've already given Elijah a mission."

"And what might that be?"

"Hopefully another piece to the puzzle."

"Okay, what do you want me to do?"

"Right now Marcel and his men are guarding the Bennett Castle. I need you to go there and place a new barrier around it, one that will allow only you and I to enter."

"Okay."

"After you're done, you are going to look for the book that holds the prophecy, and steal it. My guess it is in Jonas Martin's home. I'll invite him here and while he is gone you will look for it. I want you to look it over and see what you can decipher."

"Sounds good, except for one problem, I have no idea what it looks like."

Kluas hands her a folded piece of paper. "I drew a sketch of it." She unfolds it. "It's a red book. The drawing on the cover is of black snake battling a golden dragon."

"I'll get ready and head to the castle now." Klaus nods and turns to leave. "Klaus," He stops and looks back. "Why do I get the feeling there is something you're still not telling me?"

"I told you everything you need to know." He then leaves.

Freya looks at the drawing of the book, something about a black snake and golden dragon fighting seems familiar to her. She vaguely remembers a story that Glenda told her when she was young about Qetsiyah. She remembers it had something to do with a great battle between light and dark, but she could not recall the whole story. She needed to get her hands on that book.

Kol's Study

Davina sits on the small couch as Kol is on his desk looking at his map. She takes the time to look around his room. She is surprised to find that it only had the bare necessities. A desk, a chair, a sitting area. The most surprising thing is the large bookshelf filled with books ranging from history to war strategies, mathematics to philosophy, and ancient religions to science. The books look like they have been read hundreds of times. When she was told of her marriage to Kol she had asked a maid to find information on him. The maid told her that he was very handsome and charming, the problem was he knew it. There were rumors that not only did he have lovers all over Mystic Falls, but also in all the neighboring kingdoms too. They said he uses his cock instead of his brain.

"Do you like to read?" Kol asks Davina when he sees her looking at his books.

"I do, but mostly romance novels, and sometimes a good mystery." She smiles. "I'm surprised you read these books."

"Why? Am I not smart enough?" He cocks an eyebrow at her.

"Oh… no, no I didn't mean it that way. I just heard that you spend most of your time with women… you know doing stuff."

"Are you calling me a man whore?"

"What!? Absolutely not! I just heard rumors that you have lovers all over the place."

"And you believe in those rumors?"

"Um…"

Kol starts to laugh. "You should see your face."

Davina blushes in embarrassment. "That's not funny!" She crosses her arms and turns her body a little so she is no longer facing him.

When he finally calms down he gets up and moves to sit in front her. "Look at me." She refuses to move. Kol gently grabs her chin and turns her head to face him. When he touches her, Davina feels a tingling sensation that goes down her spin, and makes her heart speed up. "I'm sorry. I was just having a little fun." He lets go of her. "The truth is I love to learn. Before, back when we were humans Ayana would teach us whatever she could. She always used to say that knowledge is power. For some reason that always stuck with me."

"Who was Anaya?"

"She was my mother's friend, and a Bennett Queen. So whenever I get the chance I try to learn something new." She gives him a soft smile. "But I am going to be honest with you. Those rumors you've heard about are not entirely false." Her smile falters. "I'm no saint, and I like to have a good time. Which usually involves drinking, women, and the occasional bar fight."

"I see."

Kol can tell she wants to say something. "You are aloud to speak your mind, Davina."

She looks back up. "When we… I mean if we get married would you… would you still have fun with women?"

"Truth?" She nods yes. "I don't know. I've never thought of myself as the, settling down and having a family kind of guy. That's more of a Finn and maybe an Elijah thing."

"Then why were you chosen to marry me?"

"I have no idea. Maybe Klaus thought we were a good match. You'll have to ask him." They sit in silence for a bit. "So, about the Wolf Lands, I know how we can get there."

"You're coming?"

"Of course, this is a dangerous adventure, you'll need a dashing prince to keep you safe."

Davina chuckles. "You do know I'm a powerful witch. They say one day I could be as powerful as a Bennett." She smirks.

"And yet you forgot that your blood could be used to curse you."

"Whatever, tell me your plan."

"Remember about the waterfalls that give Mystic Falls its name?"

"Yes."

"Well I'll tell Klaus that we will go there and stay at the winter palace for a while. But instead we will change course and go to the Wolf Lands. Do you know where exactly we need to go?"

"The wolf I need to find is a Southern Wolf."

"Fuck." Kol drops his head in his hands. "Of all the wolf packs in the world, it had to be that one. Actually why am surprised, of course one the warriors would come from that pack, they are the Bennett protectors after all." Kol gets up and starts to write something on a piece of paper at his desk. "Slight change of plans, before we go to Southern Wolfves we'll go meet Finn."

"Why?"

"I'm a Mikaelson, I can't just walk on to Southern Wolf territory. We'll need his help." When Kol was done writing, he folded the paper, put it in an envelope, and sealed it with wax.

"What are you doing?"

"Letting Finn know we are coming." He opens the window and softly whistles. A falcon flies down and sits on the window sill. Kol rolls the envelope and puts it in a tube attached to one of its legs. When he is done the falcon flies away heading towards Finn.

Klaus's War Room

Klaus was busy looking through all the files he had on Jonas. Abby had said they betrayed him, they. That means if Jonas did betray him, he was most likely not alone. He was trying to figure out who could be working with him. "Maybe Greta?" Klaus thought. The first day he met her she had been eager to get into his bed, maybe it was a ploy to get close to him. The Martins were not a part of any coven, they worked solely for his family, but he did have connections with other witch families. He is really close to the Dubois family, but they tended to stay away from his family after the whole incident with Elijah and Céleste. Klaus groaned in frustration. He was getting nowhere and all he really wanted to do was kill Jonas Martin and be over with it. But the last time he killed first and then asked questions never, was a really bad idea. He closes his eyes and all he sees is a woman in a red dress with bright green eyes. That was another issue he was dealing with. Why couldn't he get her out of his head. Bonnie, the name that has been on his mind for the past couple of days. Something fluttered in the pit of his stomach, it was a feeling he had not felt in a long time.

"Ahem!" Klaus opens his eyes to see Aurora standing before him. "Do you know how long I've been waiting?"

He rolls his eyes. "Waiting for what?"

She fumes. "For you! I've been here for a while now and you have not visited me once."

"I never said I would come to you."

"Klaus!"

He slams his hands down on the desk. "Enough!" Aurora flinches and takes a step back. Klaus has never talked to her with that tone. "I don't know what fantasies you have concocted in your head, but let me make this clear. I never have and never will love you. When I fucked you it was to alleviate my boredom, but now, no matter what you do my boredom gets worse. Go. Home."

Aurora stares at him in shock. "You're… lying."

"I'm lying?"

"Yes." Aurora said in confidence when the shock wore off. "Greta! She made you say that!"

Klaus hangs his head. This conversation was becoming tiring. "That is ridiculous."

"It's the only thing that makes sense. I know we are soul mates, and Greta knows it too. She is trying to drive us apart."

"You're insane. Joshua!" A member of Klaus's personal guard came into the room "Escort Lady Martel to her room, and make sure she leaves tomorrow morning."

"Yes, you highness." Joshua grabs Aurora and drags her out of the room.

"Soul mates? What a ridiculous idea." Klaus said to himself, but green eyes briefly popped into his head at the thought of soul mates.

"I see you finally told Aurora off." Kol walks into the room and sits in the chair in front of Klaus's desk.

Klaus sits back down. "How is everything going with Davina?"

"Really good."

"I'm glad to hear."

"She is the reason I'm here. She wants to go to the winter palace for a bit. I was thinking maybe a week or two."

Klaus knows that Kol is lying. He and Davina are up to something and he is guessing that it has something to with whatever made Kol rush out of the Bennett Castle this morning. That means it's most likely related to what Abby told him. For now he'll let them go, but not alone. "Okay."

"Really?" Kol thought it would be a lot harder to convince him to let them go.

"It's a good way for you two to bond, but make sure you return in two weeks. The official announcement of your engagement will be at the end of this month, at a grand ball."

"Understood. We will leave tomorrow morning." Kol got up and left.

"Now look who's hiding in the shadows." Freya comes in and stands in front of him. "Is the castle secure?"

"Yes, only you and I will be allowed to enter. You do know Kol was lying to you?"

"Yes. Like I said, I'm trying a new approach. Do you have a way to track them?"

"Of course."

"Give it Joshua, I'll have him follow them and he will report back to me."

"Okay. What about Jonas Martin?"

"I've asked Jonas to come here to discuss business, he will be arriving tonight."

"And while he's here you want me to sneak into his house?"

"Yes, but Jonas has warded his home, it is protected."

"Oh please, you're talking to me, the Great Witch Freya. Jonas may be powerful, but he is nothing compared to me."

Wolf Lands - Finn's Base

Finn puts a hot cup of tea in front of Tyler. "It's not poison, I was just taught that when you have a guest over it's always nice to offer them something to drink." Tyler picked up the tea and took a small sip. "It's mint jasmin, my favorite."

"It's nice. Sooo… um, who do I have to meet?"

"Well first off I want to tell you, you are right. Klaus was tricked into killing the Bennetts. My brother and I tend not to get along very well. He does not like the fact that I try to control my bloodlust, and choose not to let loose as he puts it. But he is family, and therefore I will do whatever it takes to protect him. It's a big brother thing. Anyways, a year ago while I was out hunting I ran into a familiar face, someone who I thought was dead." Finn gets up. "You've probably met him a long time ago." He walks out of the tent, and soon Tyler hears him return, but he is not alone. Next to him stands a dark skinned man, with a shaved head, and brown eyes. "This is Rudy Hopkins."

Tyler stands up really fast knocking the table over. "Impossible, Rudy died eighteen years ago!"

Rudy gives him a soft smile. "The last time I saw you, was the first time you met Bonnie." Rudy looks down sadly. "The only time you met her."

"How did you survive?"

"When the hybrids attacked, I wasn't home. I had gone to a nearby village to help them build a new bridge after the old one was destroyed due to flooding. By the time I returned it was morning the next day, my family was dead and I could no longer enter my home. I went back to the village and hid there for a year. While I was there I tried to find ways to kill Klaus. I wanted revenge, but the more I tried to learn about him the more I realized something darker was at play."

"Darker?"

"Jonas Martin, he was the one that convinced Klaus to kill my family. At first I thought it was because of jealousy and a way to get back at me. A thing not widely known is, before Abby and I met, Jonas was trying to court her. And by trying I mean failing miserably. One day my best friend, Kol-"

"Kol? As in Kol Mikaelson."

"Yes. As I was saying, Kol was going to meet with Sheila, the Bennett Queen at the time, and I begged him to let me tag along. I was twenty when I first saw Abby Bennett, she was the most beautiful woman I had ever seen. To this day no woman can compare to her. I have no idea what she saw in me, but she agreed to my proposal. Jonas did not take it very well. He vowed to make me suffer." Rudy took a deep breath. "Looks like he succeeded."

"So the Bennetts were killed, because a guy can't take rejection?"

"That's what I thought for awhile. I started looking into him and everything surrounding him. That was when I found out about a dark coven."

"Jonas was part of a dark coven?"

"Yes, one that has been around for a very long time. They know how to hide themselves. For the last fifteen years I've been trying to find out anything I could about them. So far everything I found hasn't been much, like I said, they're hidden very well. This coven has many members, but there are five core leaders. Jonas Martin is one. There are two others that he interacts with. A siphoner, Kai, and a woman, Alicia."

"What's a siphoner?"

"A witch who can't use their own magic. They have to steal it from others. They are extremely rare. Because of fear of their ability most are killed at birth. I've tried to find out who Kai actually is, but no one knows his true identity. Alicia is a witch from the Arctic Lands. She was exiled from her coven when they found out about her sacrafficing witch children. They should have killed her in my opinion, but she was very powerful, and her mother was the leader of the coven at the time."

"What about the other two?"

This time Finn speaks. "Finding the identities of the last two have proven difficult. So far all we have found is the area where they are located. One of them is somewhere here in the Wolf Lands and the other is in Templeton Kingdom."

"So what's the plan?"

"Find the coven and kill them." Rudy says with malice.

Templeton Kingdom

Bonnie jolts awake. The last thing she remembers is failing to protect her friends from the powerful male witch. She looks around and realizes she is no longer in the alley behind the bazaar. She finds herself in a small room on a bed. The walls are bare and the light green paint is peeling. There is a small table next to the bed with a glass of water. She takes the glass and gulps it down as if she has been without water for days. There is also a small window, and Bonnie can see the sun setting. But when she was knocked out it was only mid day. That means she has been unconscious for hours. She needs to find Stefan and Caroline. She gets out of the bed only to stagger back on to it.

"Be careful" Bonnie looks up to see an older woman with short red hair standing at the doorway holding a tray with a bowl on it. "Your body is still weak from the spell Atticus used." She puts the tray down on the table. "This is a herbal soup. It will help with gaining your energy back." She picks up the glass. "I'll get you more water."

"Who are you and where are my friends?"

"Eat first. Then we will talk." The woman leaves and Bonnie picks up the bowl. As she slowly sips it she can feel her body regaining energy. "Here is some more water." She puts the glass back down on the table. "Feel better?"

"Yes, thank you."

"Your welcome."

When Bonnie is done with the soup she puts the bowl back on the tray. The woman picks it up and heads out of the room. Feeling better Bonnie is able to get up and and she follows the woman out into a small kitchen. "Are you going to answer my questions?"

"My name is Gabriella, and your female friend is over there." She points to a small worn out couch in front of a fireplace.

"Caroline." Bonnie rushes to her and leans down.

"Don't worry she is fine, because she is human the spell affected her more. She will need more rest. As for your male friend, Princess Hayley's personal guards took him. He is being held in the castle at the top of the north tower."

Boonie becomes angry at the thought of Hayley. "That bitch! What the fuck does she want with Stefan!?"

"She wants to marry him."

"What!?"

"After I brought you two here the princess's wedding was announced."

"She just met him!? How can they be getting married!?"

"The one thing you need to know about Hayley, she is a spoiled little bitch."

"Sounds like you know her personally."

"I used to be her maid. Because of what Atticus said when she was born, people treat her like she is the Goddess reincarnated. They all think she will be some amazing queen, but all she is, is a little girl who throws tantrums when she doesn't get her way."

"But why does she want Stefan?"

"Who knows, this is not the first time she has done this. Any man that she finds attractive she takes to her castle and plans to marry them. Give it a couple months, she will get bored and let him go, like always."

"I don't have a couple of months. I need Stefan."

"Why?" Bonnie tries to come up with some excuse as to not reveal who she truly is and what she and her friends are really doing. "Does it have something to do with the panther and dragon that are outside my house."

Bonnie's eyes widened in surprise. "What!" She runs out of the small cottage to see Keeva and Amani sitting outside. When Amani spots her he runs up and rubs his head against her legs.

"Imagine how shocked I was when they just appeared outside my home after I brought you here. The dragon really scared me."

Bonnie sighs. "I'm sorry for the trouble I've caused you, but there are some things I can't tell you."

"I understand, and you have nothing to apologize for. I chose to help you. I could have just left you in the alley, but then I would have been filled with guilt. So really I did this for myself, guilt is really bad for one's skin." Bonnie gave her a small smile.

"Bonnie!" Caroline shouted.

"Your friend is awake. I'll go get some soup for her."

They both get back inside. "Caroline." Bonnie goes and hugs Caroline who has sat up on the couch. "I'm so glad you're okay."

"I thought we were going to die. Where is Stefan?"

"The bitch has her." Gabriella says as she hands Caroline a bowl.

"Who is she?"

"I'm Gabriella. I brought you two here."

"She helped us after that witch knocked us out."

"What are you going to do now?"

"I have no idea."

"You're going to save your friend." They both turned to Gabriella. "I don't know what is going on with you guys, but if there is something that you need to do, and you need your friend for it, then the only option is a rescue mission."

Bonnie knows she's right, but that means she might have to face Atticus again, and that scares her. When they were in the alley, Bonnie was lucky that she was able to get off that one spell, but when the other witch showed up she was frozen in fear. Her cousins have taught her how to fight not only with magic, but also physical weapons, they said witches should never rely solely on their magic. Practice was very different compared to the real thing and Bonnie felt unprepared. She was starting to have doubts about her abilities. If she can't protect her friends from a single witch, how was she going to protect the world from the darkness?

"Bonnie, are you okay?" Caroline asks concerned.

"What if…" Bonnie looks down. "What if I fail again?"

"Bonnie-"

"As soon as I was up against a witch I couldn't do anything, I froze. He was very powerful."

"So are you Bonnie."

"What's the point of power if I can't even defend myself, let alone protect the people I care about."

"Bonnie, because of you I was able to escape a forced marriage and now I am free to follow whatever path I choose."

"Caro-"

"And the path I want to follow is the one you're on." Caroline took a hold of her hands. "When we were in the alley surrounded by all those men, I was scared at first, but you and Stefan were there with me, and my fear lessened. Bonnie, if there is one thing I know about you, it's that fact you will go to any length to save the people you care about. We were both scared in that alley, but now we know what we are up against we will face our fears together."

Bonnie pulls Caroline into a hug. "You're amazing."

"So are you." Bonnie releases her. "So, what's the plan?"

"Okay, we know where they are keeping Stefan, the north tower of the castle, right?"

"Yes. I can draw you a map." Gabriella gets a piece of paper and a quill. "This is the northern wall. There is a small door that was used as the servants entrance hundreds of years ago back when the servant quarters were on the north side of the castle. The door is basically forgotten except by a few people. There will be no guard in the area. As soon as you enter the palace you will be in the northern courtyard. At night no one will be around except for one guard who walks the perimeter of the garden. It is pretty big so it should be easy enough to avoid him. Cut through the garden and you will reach the north tower. This is where things will get hard, Hayley will have the guards all around the tower making sure he does not escape."

"I could use a similar spell to the one Atticus used to knock us out, but I've only ever been able to take out two at most."

"Do you think we have time to stop by the ship?" Caroline asks.

"Depends, why?"

"When I was going through all the stuff in my father's lab I found dried blue devil flowers. I can grind them into a powder. With the powder all you have to do is blow it in their faces and it will knock them out for hours."

"Excellent, we will use that."

"Okay, after you take care of the guards on the ground floor you should see a door on the right wall, there is a spiral staircase on the other side. Take those stairs all the way up. The door at the top will most likely be spelled shut, since Stefan is a witch Atticus probably used a spell that will be very hard to break."

Bonnie smiles. "Legend says that a dragon scale can be used to increase the strength of a spell. I'll combine that with an unlocking spell I know and that should get us through."

"Are sure it's going to work?" Asked Caroline. "Like you said, it's a legend."

"I know it will." Bonnie said confidently. "Once we have Stefan I should be able to teleport us right outside the wall."

"Wait, if you know a teleportation spell how come you can't teleport us there?"

"I need to have seen the place I am teleporting to for it to work."

"Ah, I get it."

"Once we are out we run to the ship and leave."

"Sounds like a plan."

High Castle - Throne Room

It's late at night when Jonas Martin arrives. Klaus is sitting on his embellished golden throne when he comes in. "Greetings, my king." Jonas bows before him. "What can I do for you?"

"I am assuming you've heard about the barrier around the Bennett Castle."

"I have, sire. Do you wish for me to go to the castle and see what can be useful for you?"

"No, Freya will be in charge of all that. I have also asked her to reseal the castle so only her and I can enter."

Jonas raises his head in shock, but quickly hides it behind his calm mask. But it was not quick enough, Klaus saw the panic in his eyes. "My king, I can be very helpful when it comes to the the ancient grimoires the Bennets have collected over the years. It is my expertise after all."

"You seem to have forgotten that it was Freya who taught all about ancient languages and magic."

"Of course not. I meant that it would go a lot faster if the both of us were going through it together."

"No."

"But-"

Suddenly Klaus grabs Jonas's throat. "You dare question your king!" Klaus thundered as he tightened his grip.

"N..No, I..I I'm so..sorr..sorry." Jonas manages to choke out.

Klaus lets go and Jonas falls to his knees. He tries to take slow, deep breaths, but every time he inhales his throat burns. "I've recently been made aware of somethings that have me concerned." Jonas looks up at him. "The prophecy you told me about the Bennetts, I want you to go through every single detail about how you found it."

"My king," Jonas's voice sounded like a wheeze. "Why are you concerned? The Bennetts have been dealt with."

"That is my business." Klaus bends down, his eyes shifting from blue, to amber, then to black. "Tell me what I want to know, or I will have you dealt with."

The Martin's Estate

Freya stood outside the front door to Jonas Martin's home. Getting rid of the magical wards surrounding the property was child's play. Sometimes Freya wondered why Klaus kept the Martin's around. He was a stupid man and his daughter was worse. Freya took her in as a student because she had potential, but soon she realized all Greta cared about was Klaus. Freya shook her head remembering all the women that had jumped into Klaus's bed. They all wanted the same thing, power and wealth. She never understood why he bothered to entertain them. She shook her head again, she needed to concentrate on the task at hand.

As she was about to open the door she heard what sounded like glass breaking. She quickly crouched down and went to the side of the house. Someone was here. Jonas was still with Klaus and Greta was staying at the castle. She takes a peek through the window. The room seems to be Jonas's office. It's filled with books, and loose paper is strewn on the floor. In the middle of the room stands a tall woman with skin and hair almost as white snow, and she is wearing a black hooded robe. Her back is to the window so Freya can not see her face. She watches as the woman looks for something in the office. "Where did that bastard hide it!?" The woman screams in frustration and finally turns around. Freya sees the scar on her forehead, the six pointed star in a circle. The same symbol that was found at the Silver Moon massacre. This was the witch that killed the Elena's pack.

Freya had to make a move, she needed information and this witch had it. She stood and held her hand out sending a fire ball through the window and hitting the white haired witch. Freya quickly entered the room through the shattered window and placed a paralyzing spell on her.

"Well, if it isn't the great witch Freya."

"Who are you?"

The woman laughs maniacally. "You're going to have to do better than that if you want information from me."

Freya flicks her hand and the witch screams as her right arm is broken. "Tell me who you are."

"You should just kill me." Another flick of Freya's hand and the witches left leg is broken. "You bitch!" Freya's stare remains unblinking. "I'm going to enjoy watching your family die! Darkness is coming, and when he comes he will kill you all."

"Darkness, is that Zyair." The witch's eyes widened in shock. "I'll take your silence as a yes. What were you looking for?" Freya pulls out the drawing that Klaus gave her. "Were you looking for this book?" The witch remains silent, but Freya sees the recognition in her eyes. "Jonas told Klaus that the Bennetts would be our downfall, that was a lie wasn't it?" Suddenly Freya is thrown back against the wall, the witch broke free of her spell. The room is suddenly filled with black smoke, and when it clears Freya is the only one there. The witch was more powerful than she thought.

Freya gets up, she still has a job to do. It seems the witch had already looked through the study, but could not find the book. Wherever the book was hidden Jonas must have put some type of magical protection on it. Freya closes her eyes trying to see if she can sense a protection spell in the room. After a few minutes she feels what she is looking for. She opens her eyes and walks over to the wall behind the desk. She moves her hand across the wall until she feels a small tingling sensation. She smirks. Maybe Jonas is not as stupid as she thought. He has cloaked a hole in the wall. She reaches her hand in and grabs the only object that's there. When she pulls her hand out she sees she is holding a red book with a black snake and golden dragon.

Next chapter: Bonnie and Caroline attempt to rescue Stefan, Freya tries to find out about the prophecy, and Rebekah finds herself in a dangerous situation.
