For first time in many nights boarding house was completely empty.
The moon was shining bright through its windows and in that moment someone appeared right in the middle of parlour.
He stared around the house before using his magic to light fireplace making room filled with warmth and glow.
He then took seat near fireplace while he waited for residents of this house to return.
After few minutes of waiting front door opens and he heard voices filled with joy and relief.
Stefan and Caroline, Damon and Elena were first one to enter in parlour closely followed by Enzo and Bonnie, Sheila, Lucy, Ric, Lexi, Lee, Nadia and Finally Katherine who unlike others just looked greatly relieved to survive this night.
''Congratulations to you all.'' The man on chair finally stood up gaining Stefan's and everyone else attention.
''Cade?'' Stefan voice sounded as shocked as he felt.
Realising who that man was Damon stepped forward. ''So you are The Devil? Cade?''
Cade smiles at him. ''I prefer Ex Devil but nowadays I am High Spirit who gave you all this second chance to change your fate.''
Enzo scoffs bringing Bonnie closer in protection of his arms.
''So what' the reason behind your sudden appearance? Specially tonight of all nights?''
Cade couldn't help but apprised the protective stance this group have.
Raising his hands in surrender he tried to assure them ''You all can relax, I didn't come here to mean harm to any one of you.''
They all stared at him wearily but Stefan somehow trusted him.
He sighed before staring at his brother who was standing In defensive way in front of their group.
"Damon, I trust him.'' He then glanced at Cade. ''How come you're here? I thought you found peace?''
Nodding his head he sat down. ''Its true I found peace but a higher power send me back to give you all your prize of Redemption which you all managed to achieve.''
They all stared at him in confusion. ''Higher power?'' Sheila asked again unsure she heard him right.
Cade smiles widened. ''Higher power, creator of universe , God you can call him anything but point is since I was first psychic of this world and when I found peace he made me high Spirit just like your ancestor Annaya. It's our job to create balance in supernatural world and help those people find Redemption whose lives got destroyed by it.''
He mentioned them to take seat and then turned his attention towards Bennett witches. ''Sheila, Bonnie and Lucy you three went beyond in restoring balance with not just your magic but believing in goodness by believing in Stefan and breaking Nicklaus curse. This Supernatural world can't survive if it won't have a powerful being leading it. In past Nicklaus's cruelty is the reason of his downfall and that was his upbringing fault but today you changed that by binding him to his father, to give his legacy back and that will help him make a compassionate leader this supernatural world needs.''
All three Bennett witches felt little overwhelmed at his praise.
''So your prize is me bestowing my whole power, my knowledge and my wisdom to your family and to make you Sheila the regent of every witch and warlock family in this world, so you can oversee that balance of universe is always restored and that no one will ever misuse magic to destroy it.''
Seeing their stunned faces he turned his attention towards Lexi. ''Lexi you are the most controlled vampire ever exists in our supernatural world and that control also help vampires like Stefan who couldn't control their bloodlust.''
Lexi looked at him with surprise, wondering what he meant by all this. ''You're also better friend than vampire and even when all this did not concerned your life but you and your mate still stayed to help your friends so as your prize I am bestowing you and Original family control over entire vampire race, from this moment onwards you can control their way of life and teach them how to survive without killing anyone.''
Lexi stared at him as if he is speaking completely different language while a question came in Lee's mind. ''You want us to teach entire vampire race to feed without killing? How can you be sure they will listen us?''
Cade then pointed towards Katherine. ''Why don't you test it yourself.''
Lexi and Lee both went towards Katherine to test their powers and Cade called Nadia to come closer.
''Nadia Petrova your mother once held special place in my world and to make sure it never happened again my prize to you is binding spell that I have placed between you and your mother.''
Speechlessly Nadia stared at him and then at her mother who looked kind of dazed as Lexi use her power.
''Take her to Bulgaria Nadia and I will assure you your mother will never leave your side again.''
Nadia smiled at him with gratitude. ''Thank you.'' She then turned around to face everyone. ''Thank you all for giving me my mother back.''
Cade looked at Alaric. ''Alaric you and few other humans of this town helped and believe in Redemption of these supernatural people. Your prize is happiness with peaceful life ahead.''
Cade then stared at Caroline, Elena and Bonnie. ''Can I talk to you three of you alone for few minutes? It's really important.''
Once again he saw how their respective partners hold them protectively in their arms.
So he waited and then finally Bonnie touched Enzo's face.
''It's okay we will be in kitchen.''
Caroline kissed Stefan's cheek. "We will be right back.''
Elena was about to follow them when she felt Damon pull her back. ''Shout if he tries anything.'' She gave him radiant smile before giving him quick kiss. '' I will.''
Damon watched with others as girls make their way towards kitchen followed by Cade.
Unfortunately they couldn't hear a word and Sheila concluded Cade has used magic to soundproof room that was enough to set all three guys off making them more anxious by each passing seconds.
''What the!'' Damon growled when three distinctive scent of blood hit him and panicked looked on both Enzo's and Stefan's face mirrors how he felt.
Without any delay all three of them rushed towards kitchen but instead of what they feared they came face to face with Cade who was staring at them calmly.
They then saw love of their lives standing together near kitchen island looking perfectly fine but that still didn't explain lingering scents of their blood.
''What's going on in here?'' Damon
asks while checking out Elena for any kind of injury.
''We smelled blood.'' Stefan stated in anger as his eyes filtered between Cade and Caroline.
''As you can see your love ones are perfectly fine.''
Cade tried to assure him.
''Then why we can smell their blood here?'' Enzo inquired angrily, he reached to Bonnie and checked her out.
''Guys we are fine.'' Bonnie tried to assure them.
'' As for blood, well don't worry we are perfectly fine.'' Elena place her hand around Damon's waist calming him down instantly.
''That still doesn't explain why?'' Stefan begins but Caroline cut him off. ''Cade will explain that to you but you three need to go with him.''
The way Caroline sounded so sure make his doubts go away.
He stared at his brother and Enzo and nodded his head before turning to face Cade. ''Okay Cade lets go and talk whatever you want to talk about.''
With Cade leading the way all three off them quickly exchanged loving glances with their respective girls and then quietly followed him outside of the house.
Stefan felt like he stepped back in time few months ago when he followed Cade into the woods , only difference this time around is that he is not alone with him.
They walked quietly until they reached falls and with pang Stefan realized that this is same spot where he killed Cade in his past.
''I know what you are thinking Stefan and trust me there is a huge reason why I bring you three here.''
Once they reached there Cade stared around before turning to face them. ''I don't know if Stefan told you two this but you three were last to serve me.''
When they stayed quiet Cade understand they knew about their service to him in Stefan's past.
''Anyway both Sybil and Seline choose you because all three of you led your life in a way that gain you spot in hell and I agreed with their reasons of choosing you but yet to my surprise all three of you proved how wrong we were.'' He stared at each one of them with kindness.
''Souls that can love, that can sacrifice its happiness, its life for sake of others can found Redemption and those Souls who redeem themselves don't deserve hell.''
Stefan heard some of it before but he can see Cade's words were touching both Damon and Enzo just like him.
''So that being said there is no higher prize I can offer you than chance to live happy, human life.''
All three off them looked at him as if he's gone crazy. ''Happy human life?'' Damon asked him with hint of sarcasm. ''Do you have three cure for us?''
Cade shake his head before reaching for his pocket bringing three small bottles of blood which he held out towards them.
''What is this?'' Enzo asked while stepping away from blood he was offering.
''This is last magic I will ever perform. In each bottle there is blood of girl you love and if you agreed to drink this then your life will be binded to them.''
He then gave Caroline's blood bottle to Stefan, Elena's blood bottle to Damon and finally Bonnie's blood bottle to Enzo.
''By giving their blood they given their permission to perform this magic but they want me to warn you.''
Stefan stared at bottle In his hand before looking up at Cade. ''What warning?''
''If you drink their blood you will be bind to their humanity which will make you human but since you all three are already dead you will live as long as your soulmate. In easy words the moment they stopped breathing so will you, you will live and die with your soulmate.''
Once they understand what drinking blood truly means a smile from on their face. ''To live human life with love of my life.'' Stefan
smiles while opening cap of his bottle.
''To die with love of my life.'' Damon smirked while opening his bottle.
''That mate is best prize in this world.'' Enzo finally completed what each one of them felt about Cade's prize and with that all three of them drink blood for the very last time.
A wave of dizziness swept over them as they collapsed and as darkness overtook them they saw Cade's spirit fading away and heard his last words. ''Have a great human life.''
With that Cade was gone leaving three unconscious human being behind.
