She turned on the water letting it run for a bit before she submerged her hands under. Staying there for a moment not really scrubbing just letting the water it clean off the blood that was on her hands. Turning off the water she found herself wondering who had been there. The werewolf dropped to his knees almost like someone had given him an aneurysm. Thinking back to the look on his face when she showed her vampire features, he looked shocked surprised even. Whoosh
Bracing herself she let her head fall bit as she gripped the counter. She turned around slowly, "Elijah". She hadn't been imagining things at the bar then. She was prepared to come face to face with Nicklaus but not him. Had he seem her kill the werewolves? Maybe he knew if a witch had been present.
"Katerina" reaching out to touch her cheek almost like she would disintegrate if he touched he did.
"How is this possible" She involuntarily leaned into his touch closing her eyes only for a moment.
"I'm a survivor, have you forget 'Elijah? " She stated pushing herself away from him walking out of the kitchen and into the living room. I can't just give into him so easily.
"But that wouldn't surprise me it seems like you have forgotten all about me "she continued turning around to face Elijah.
"I had no idea" he stated putting his hands in his pockets he looked down almost scare to look at Katherine. He truly hadn't known, at the time Hayley was pregnant and Rebekah and Klaus had simply told him that they would be out of town on business. He took it upon himself to keep an eye on Hayley.
"And if you did would that have made a difference?" She stated as she discarded the shirt that was covered in werewolf blood. Making her way through Bonnie's bag she found a black tank top and quickly put it on. She found herself terrified under Elijah's stare like he wanted to tell her a million things and couldn't. It killed her to be so close to him but so far away. He was wearing a black suit and it killed her not to be ripping it off as she had done so many times before.
Elijah Stayed quiet silently taking in her appearance. Katherine looked different or rather he felt different around her. The energy she was emitting was calmer more centered. He found himself face with the girl that had first showed up to his estate. Letting him lead the way, she let the silence govern over them waiting for answers. How could he explain to her that the Original family had another member one that was defend less and needed all their care? Katherine had lost her own child, ripped away from her arms at birth surely she could understand. But letting anyone else on their secret could bring more danger to Hope.
Taking his silence for a no she quickly brought him out of this thought "I didn't think so".
"It's not -"He said taking a step forward in her direction.
"No Elijah, you don't get to make any declarations now. I gave you a chance an option you choose. Now Get out!" in less than a second she was at the door holding it open for him. Walking over to the where she was standing he placed a kiss on her cheek. Katherine closed her eyes having him that close was dangerous. She felt his lips on her cheek but when she opened her eyes he was gone his scent lingering behind. Slamming the door behind she made her way into the kitchen go find a blood bag.
"Isn't she a pretty little thing?"
"What are you doing here?!" Hayley question placing Hope back down in her crib. She had heard footsteps but thought it had been Jackson who had surely forgot something. Like he always did.
"If you're wondering where Elijah is, he's entertained with a pretty brunette" Francesca said as she looked down to touch one of Hope's toy.
"What are you talking about?" There was only one brunette that could ever catch Elijah's attention that was Katherine. And as far as she knew Katherine was dead.
" We have visitors a Witch and a Vampire" she said smiling making her way further into the bedroom almost close enough to Hopes crib. Before she knew it she was pushed against a wall, Hayley had her by her throat. Suddenly Francesca smile having taken the bait suddenly she spun them around.
"And if you think your knight in shining armor is coming to save you I assure you he is not."
"I don't need anyone to fight my battles" she barely got out as Francesca's grip was becoming stronger.
"Ah Princess I beg to differ" before she could finish Hayley had knocked her off her feet having her land on top of her. Having the advantage she let fangs extend grabbing her off the floor as she pinned her against the wall ready to inflict the pain of a hybrid bite.
"You didn't really think it'd be that easy" she heard Francesca whisper before her she felt her hand pierce through her chest taking her heart out. Letting her drop to the ground she made her way over to Hope.
This baby will be raised by the Guerrera pack becoming one of the biggest threats on earth, she thought making her way over to Hope.

"You weren't supposed to be one "Amara's voice invaded the atmosphere bringing her back to reality.
They were crazy right? That was the only explanation she was in a dream of some sorts. This couldn't be happening.
"Okay so let me get this straight. You want me to believe that I'm supposed to be a witch?"
"Not just any witch Caroline, you are one of the three" Sheila said. One of the three so there were others someone else from Amara's lineage and Sheila's.
"The danger that is headed to Mystic falls is very real, all three of you will be needed in order to keep a balance" Amara looked exactly like Elena but for whatever reason she inspired more serenity then Elena ever had.
"And what Danger would this be?"
"We cannot tell you as the spirits as the refuse to tell us so we do not upset the balance. That's something all three of you must figure out on your own." Sheila voiced.
"Yet they didn't have any problems in letting you kill me" she was frustrated now. They had not given her any answers. Yet she had been killed and they just expected her to accept her faith? She sighed internally as she heard what her mother said next.
"Honey, whatever danger is coming all three of you need to be prepared "Caroline nodded at her Mother. She cherished the seconds she was in her presence for she knew eventually she would lose her again.
"You couldn't have just appeared in a dream or something?"
"You needed to die so that when you come back your magic would come to the surface. You are one of the three pillars, there will be no more from your lineage as you died as a vampire and will come back as one with magic "
"That's why the spirits decided to let it come to light. They decided to run the risk of letting you three roam the earth for there will be no more from your lineage or Mines" Amara stated.
'" Bonnie is the only human and therefor has possibility pass that responsibility down"
"They couldn't take the same risk with the two of you" Sheila said.
"We will leave you two to say goodbye" Amara finished standing up.
"Wait how do I get back?"
"They will find a way to bring you back, child" Sheila said smiling at Caroline standing and walking over to hug her.
She watched them as they walked away and disappeared mid-way.
Looking over to her mother she thought about what she wanted to say but knowing there was not enough time in the world for her to lose her again. She wanted her mom to be happy and to not worry about her she was going to be okay. She was strong and she needed her mom to know that. To not worry.
"Caroline I want you to know how proud I am of you. You can handle this. Everything will be okay "She moved closer to embrace her daughter in a hug.
"I love you"
"I love you too, Mom" Caroline whispered holding on to her mom tightly refusing to let her go. She refused to open her eyes as she felt the air around her pick up. The space that her mom occupied was now empty. Finally coming to her senses she looked around she was here by herself. If was she was supposed to be a witch she figured she better get started and there was only one place she knew she could find a grimoir. Bonnie's.
They drove in silence, Bonnie kept questioning herself asking why she had agreed to this. Kol was murderous he killed for no reason. Was she even sure this was worth it? Sensing her doubt Kol brought her out of her reverie," Are you going to tell me what Katherine is doing here?"
"That is none of your business"
"Well I don't remember it being part of the deal" She took her eyes away from the road momentarily glancing over to him. He was in a human body and didn't look as murderous. Maybe she could keep him in this body instead. Letting the thought sink in she knew that was impossible she gave him her word. He had kept his, a deal was a deal.
"I may have kept it out "
"Still doing what the spirits command I see". She reminded that even if he was cute as a human and not murderous, he would always be Kol.
They were in the middle of nowhere. It was dark now and she could only assume they were at a swamp. 'Great! Just what I needed'. She stopped the car and got out the car along with Kol.
"So you hid your body in a swamp?"
"Right this way darling" He extended his hand out turning on the flashlight.
"This was not part of the deal!" Bonnie found herself mumbling the same words Kol had said earlier.
"I may have kept it out" He threw he words back with a smirk
Bastard who does he think he is? Taking a step forward she headed down the path that he was pointing to.
Rebekah had walked in to find Francesca close to Hopes crib. Without a second thought she snapped her neck and pulled her heart out. She hadn't noticed at first since she had barged into the room. Hayley body laid on the other side of the room with her heart pulled out.
"What happened here "
"Well Jackson if you hadn't bloody –"she was interrupted by the crying baby in the room. She picked her up cradling her in an attempt to get her to calm down. Jackson had left them because Marcel had called him to inform him that a member of their packed had been killed.
"Rebekah, Take her. It isn't safe for her here. They must've known that Klaus was leaving out town" He said Gathering Hopes bag and handing it to Rebekah. Worried about Hayley's body she almost found herself hesitant to take her niece. Remembering that she had told Klaus that he would meet up with him and bring Hope, she nodded.
"I'll take care of it "Jackson said glancing down at his hand only to look back at Rebekah who was now thinking the same thing. " Someone should tell Elijah"
After half an hour of walking they finally made it to a cabin. It looked creepy as hell as far as Bonnie was concerned. There were no lights. The flooring made a slight sound when you stepped on it. She lit some candles that were by a window. Letting the light in she pulled the curtain back as Kol made his way around the house. She assumed that he was getting his body.
"She doesn't know does she?" Bonnie asked as he made his way back into the room. Dragging behind his body that was wrapped in an all-white sheet.
"Is that a tinge of jealousy I hear?" he was now unwrapping the body.
Bonnie found herself holding in her breath. She had never seen his body before as Caroline had been the one to wrap it up. The body was now out in the open was badly burned and grey.
No Davina didn't know he had used her to bring Bonnie back. He didn't find himself telling her because they had a mutual understanding, he would help her and she would help him. Oh it's not like Kol was unaware of his charm because he wasn't. He knew that Davina gravitated towards him and used that to his advantage. Although he didn't reciprocate the feeling. Nor did he tell her she was an original.
"Um I think that would imply I care" she said sitting down by the Kol's original body.
He got up to find a cup and came back with a knife. Cutting his palm be let the blood run and leak into the cup.
"I think that's denial "he said handing her the cup as he lay down on the other side of where his Original body was.
"Keep telling yourself that" she muttered.
Taking the knife she cut her own palm and held it above the cup. Letting their blood mix she began to chant. Feeling the wind pick up around her she began to chant.
Phasmatos Ravenus on Animum.
The candles flickered creating more darkness then light in the room.
Phasmatos Ravenus on Animum.
The wind picked up suddenly knocking things over in the process.
Phasmatos Raverus on Animum.
She chanted again her voice becoming louder and clearer. Kol suddenly felt the blood rush through his being. Sitting up he glanced up to find Bonnie still chanting.
Phasmatos Ravenus on Animum.
She finally breathed out opening her eyes to reveal Kol, that her eyes were now silver. Silver.
Bonnie open her eyes feeling like the air had been knocked out of her lungs. She found herself inhaling almost like the first time she had return to the land of the living. Kol was sitting up looking at her like he had never seen her before. "The blood bags are in the back of the trunk "she said barely above a whisper. He just nodded and flashed out.
She had been driving for a few hours now every so often checking on her mirrors to get a glimpse of Hope. She could hear her breathing and even though she knew she was asleep she was still paranoid. 'A thousand year Vampire, how did I get stuck babysitting?'
Pulling over on the side of the road she found herself behind a black car. Nicklaus was now getting out of the car slamming the door in the process.
She rolled down the window finding herself in front of a brother that she didn't recognized. Deciding that being honest and straight to the point was going to have to do today.
"She dead, Hayley is dead. This treaty is most likely over, she can't go back to New Orleans"
Taking into account his appearance she could have sworn she saw sadness take over his features. He had told himself that things would be difference for her. She wouldn't have to run, like they had. Over centuries they found themselves constantly on the run. He dint want that for her and this treaty had ensured this but he knew she was no longer safe there.
"She'll be coming with us then"
"Are you nuts?! She can't step foot in Mystic Falls that place is a death trap!" she almost screech at him.
"It'll only be temporary, or do you have a better suggestion" he voiced. Taking her silence for what it was he made his way back to the car.
Katherine was now bored and tired of waiting for Bonnie. Suddenly she heard a knock at the door. Taking her feet off the couch she made her way over to the door.
"It's about to time-"she stopped mid-sentence as she swung the door back. The man that was now in front of her had dark chocolate skin and a smile that didn't reach his eyes.
"Who the hell are you?" she suddenly found herself on alert. Folding her arms in front of her she gave him a look over. He was handsome that much was obvious. As obvious was that he was also a vampire.
"Marcel Gerard"
