A/N Hey guys this is shorter than the last, a little more build up and more progress … things will soon get bigger! Enjoy!

Disclaimer- I have nothing to do with The Vampire Diaries or The Originals except what my imagination stirs up!

Caroline POV

"Caroline! Stop! Think about it do you really think Marcel will let you get anywhere close to him after the stunt we pulled today? There is no doubting your seduction skills as you have my brother completely enthralled but Marcel won't fall for it!"

I stopped raiding through whatever remotely sexy clothes that I had in my wardrobe, and turned to face him.

"You don't understand Elijah, this is literally tearing me apart, seeing him in my sleep now seeing him when I'm awake I don't know how much more of this stuff I can take!"

He put his hands on my shoulders

"It will all calm down once he is out of danger"

"You don't get it; he'll always be in danger. Nearly everyone he meets wants to kill him there is always that potential threat!"

Elijah walked over and sat at the edge of the bed; I sat beside him.

"Caroline the bond can be broken; I have waited to tell you in case you broke it before we got Niklaus back."

Klaus' words came back to me

"Klaus said that I could see him when I was awake because my feelings for him are stronger, he never mentioned there was a way to break it"

"My brother is a selfish man especially when it comes to you, he wants all of you, your attention, your light, your personality, your loving heart and of course not denying the obvious your body, the blood bond proves that on some level you return his feelings, it has renewed his hope do you really think he would tell you there was a way to end it all?"

I couldn't speak the thought of having a solution to all this was exciting and filling me with hope.

"One more day Caroline, that's all we need. We whisper the right words in the right ears and New Orleans will be ours with Niklaus by our side"

"Your side, not ours. I am still leaving when this is all over"

He looked at me and nodded

"And the compulsion?"

"Now that I know the connection can be broken I hope I'll not need it. How do we break it? Blood sacrifice? Big devil worship ceremony?"

He chuckled

"Nothing like that, all you need to do is stop caring. It is unusual but not unlikely that vampires stop caring about each other, especially with an epic proportion of feelings to evoke a blood bond like yours but it can be done, compulsion may have an impact but the only definite way is stop caring or switch off your emotions but when they turn back on the bond will return, the last way is a final way death of one or both vampires will sever the bond for good"

I smiled sarcastically

"Well that shouldn't be too hard, I just need to remember all the crap he has done since I have met him, imagine the horrors he has done the centuries before I met him and I should go right off him, go back to Whitmore and fall head over heels for someone who I wasn't stupid enough to share blood with and who isn't a spoilt brat who kills people in a tantrum!"

He smiled and there was a slight hint of sympathy on his face, like he could see that I was so clearly in denial.

"Let's focus on the problem at hand"

I nodded, what's one more day of conflicting emotions? Loving the elation of knowing that someone cares about me so deeply to have some weird freaky connection, but hating who that person is.

We made our way to the living room to join Hayley.

"So we got Marcel to let his secret slip, we have planted the seeds of doubt in the minds of his men, the next problem is Davina, she won't allow any harm to come to Marcel!"

Hayley basically handed us the solution on a silver platter

"Un-dagger Rebekah, say Caroline didn't know the dagger became ineffective if only removed once for a few seconds, she can run to Marcel and ask for help, protection. He'll put her with the only other person he cares about, Davina. So then Rebekah can work on the inside boom problem solved"

Elijah spoke

"With a few pages from mothers spell book I can make Davina believe they are magic channelling spells to help her control her magic, instead she will be protecting us with very strong magic, so that none of us will be harmed or taken like Niklaus"

I finished

"So leaving Marcel without his men and his secret weapon!"

"I love it when a plan comes together!"

My head shot towards him

"Did you just quote the A-Team?"

"What I can't be a ruthless vampire and movie buff at the same time?"

I just shook my head and smiled, small moments like this made me reconsider leaving; it felt so natural and right being here.

"Elijah you never cease to surprise me"

I was much more relaxed now but when the time comes I will still have my show down with Marcel.

I glanced at Hayley and noticed how every now and then her eyes would meet Elijah, they would stare for a few seconds before one or both of them managed to look away. It was obvious that there was something between the two and I felt sorry for them both, how much more complicated could it get? She falls for her baby daddy's brother. I wasn't the only one with conflicted emotions and having difficulty defining exactly what it is they want.

"Guys I wanna say something, forgive me if I am intruding but if there is something between you grab it with both hands, at least you two don't have this freaky bond thing! Hayley you're not going to be pregnant forever"

Hayley dropped her head to let her hair cover her face and Elijah gave me a knowing smile, he nodded his thanks and spoke

"Things are what they are and they will be what they'll be"

After that the moment passed and I suggested that we go wake up Rebekah

"You know I never thought I would say this but I kind miss having her around"

All three of us went to the basement, I took a blood bag so that she could feed straight away, Elijah removed the dagger and then we waited. He told us about how they first came to New Orleans and the boat trip here. After a few hours she was looking a lot better and then her eyes flew open.

"Please tell me it hasn't been centuries?"

Hayley laughed putting a nervous tone to it

"Erm about that, things got really crazy the night we got Klaus, and it meant that we couldn't undagger you straight away. Davina spelled the house so none of us could get in. Bekah' its 2024! Jenifer is so big and strong, the birth didn't go well and I was turned into a hybrid using some of her blood…"

It took all my might not to burst out laughing, Elijah has the perfect poker face and Hayley had that puppy dog eye please-forgive-us look.

"Are you bloody serious? Never again am I volunteering to get daggered no matter what trouble Klaus gets into! My life is literally just passing me by!"

"Sister Hayley is just being humorous, its Thursday of the same week. We can fill you in upstairs over a drink"

The look on Rebekah's face was just too much and I burst in to fits of laughter, so much so that the tears were streaming down my faced and I had to double over and put my hands on my knees to keep from falling.

Chancing a look at Rebekah I could see that she was not impressed but she couldn't hide her slight smile

"I am so sorry Rebekah, it's just… actually I don't know why it's so funny. I just can't stop laughing ..."

Slowly the laughter turned to tears and I was crying my heart out. I had kept everything so tightly bottled up that any bit of emotion even laughter triggered everything to be let lose.

There was three confused faces looking at me, Hayley came to me and hugged me, putting her arm around my shoulder we started to make our way back to the living room. Elijah avoided following us telling Rebekah he had business to attend too and left us to it.

"I'm sorry guys; I don't know where it came from. It's just … my god everything is so confusing."

"It's not easy loving my brothers, I should know I have a thousand years' experience"

Both Hayley and I just looked at her

"Oh come on neither of you can deny it, it is clear to be seen that as much as you want to deny it neither of you will be able to stay away from them for long no matter how hard you try."

Typical Rebekah, saying it as she sees it no matter how unwanted it is.

"I don't love Klaus, but I won't deny that I have some sort of feelings for him"

She sniggered

"Well obviously Caroline the blood bond already told us that"

Not being able to come up with a witty remark I just stuck my tongue out at her. I know for definite that I don't want to think about my feelings for Klaus at the moment we need to keep our minds straight not day dreaming of half-naked men with amazing accents, and slight stubble on their chins, the way there arms feel so safe and warm, how his eyes always seem to put me in a daze, how he always seems to make me feel so important, he has mercy for others because of me, he let people run without chasing them because of me, he loves me!

Somewhere along the line I went from not wanting Hayley and I to be distracted and what did that lead to? My fantasising over Klaus! How come every last little thought seems to end up at him?

Elijah was making his way across the living room with his mother's spell book in his arms, Rebekah was thoroughly enjoying her blood bag when both of them roared in pain, the room seemed to drift away, Rebekah and Elijah doubled over in pain, I was briefly brought to Klaus and seen that Marcel had slashed a deep gash across his stomach, it wasn't healing and I realised why when I seen him cover the blade in vervain.

"No No … Go away …Get out of here!"

Klaus roared directly in my direction he could see me, I wanted to say no but I couldn't I was already drifting back to the living room. He still didn't want me to see him being hurt; in his eyes he looked weak!

I quickly snapped out of it and Went to Rebekah's side, a few minutes later they sat back up again both breathless.

"What the bloody hell was that?"

Elijah shook his head not having any idea what was going on

"It's Klaus, Marcel was cutting his chest with a blade soaked in vervain, he must have got Davina to somehow link the family together. He thought Rebekah was daggered and that it wouldn't affect her."

Rebekah was pissed

"How do you know?"

"Because I watched it! Klaus let his thoughts loose and thought of me therefore I appear when he needs me the most!"

She looked towards Elijah

"Seriously? That strong? I've only known of one connection that strong!"

"Now is not the time for that Rebekah!"

I was listening in confused, I knew the bond was rare but not rare enough for Rebekah only to have come across one in her lifetime, they were hiding something and it annoyed me, I once again felt like the little teenage vampire back in Mystic Falls only being told the scraps of information.

"Now might not be the time Elijah I agree with that, but you and Rebekah are going to finish this conversation when we get Klaus back and I will be listening!"

Within half an hour we had updated Rebekah on everything, told her the next part of the plan and waited for her response.

"So I have to go running back to him, beg him for protection against Elijah and say that Caroline was messing with my desiccated body and didn't know that removing the dagger just the once would wake me up? Then I have to pretend to be weak until he puts me with Davina. Where I gain her trust and conspire against her to save my pain in the ass brother, who by the deserves to be suffering in pain and hope that it all works out and we don't get ourselves captures? Just a normal day as a Mikaelson then."

"Rebekah do you think you can find out how far along Davina is with the spell?"

"Well I guess I'm going to have to aren't I?"

I nodded it was a stupid question but it was necessary to make sure that we were all on the same page.

She was getting ready to leave for Marcel when Elijah added on

"Sister if this works, he will have to break the connection between Klaus and us, he won't want to see you in pain. Make it count."

"Yeah yeah damsel in distress I got it"

In a matter of seconds her face changed completely, fear filled her eyes and tears began to form…she was good!

The waiting was the worst part, not knowing if it would work or not.

Hayley was on the laptop aimlessly browsing when out of the blue she said

"Making pornos must be really in right now!"

I raised my eyebrow at her

"You're looking up porn?"

She smiled

"No … pop ups … but with some of these men my hormones are getting a little out of hand"

She winked when she seen Elijah shift a little in his seat.

"Porn movies are over rated"

He said shocking us both

"You made a porno?"

I choked out

He just winked and walked out of the room, I ran over to sit beside Hayley on the sofa and we sat there with every intention to watch every porno ever made to find Elijah's, if there really was one!

A/N So there we go, quick as I promised! I really want to show Elijah in a different light, and I think I'm doing okay! From the next chapter I am going to really get started on Klaus' character in this story, finally!

P.S Sorry for any spelling or grammar mistakes …. Crazy busy day!

Reviews as always rock!
