The entire next day Bonnie spent with Klaus, no one else, just him. The two of them were down by the lake, Bonnie was seated on the ground with her back pressed up against one of the large rocks that were scattered around the edges of the lake while Niklaus lay with his head on her lap.
Neither said anything as Bonnie watched the ripples in the water and Niklaus quietly enjoyed the feeling of Bonnie's fingers combing through his hair.
It was such a peaceful setting, the soothing sounds of the water gently washing against the shore with birds chirping in the trees surrounding the clear lake made the both of them felt so relaxed, more so than they had ever been in a long while.
"It has been a long time since I have been at such ease," Klaus was the first to speak after a short while of comfortable silence between the two.
Bonnie smiled down at him and moved some hair away from his face. "Me too," she agreed with him.
It had been a peaceful morning with him and it was a shame it would be coming to an end soon but Tamara had wanted Bonnie with her today for some reason she was yet to explain.
"You look beautiful when the sun shines down on you," he said as he gazed up at her. "Like a true goddess of nature," he grinned even more when he saw the slight reddening of Bonnie's cheeks at his words. "Even more so now," he added, his voice full of humour as he sat up so he could be eye level with her.
Bonnie let out a soft laugh and shook her head at the man in front of her. He had been incredibly sweet to her all morning with his words and the way he treated her and Bonnie enjoyed seeing the smile back on his face.
It was something she longed to see more often.

"Immortality?" Mikael questioned his wife with a shocked but interested glance. "You want to turn our family into immortals?"
Esther had immediately sought out her husband once she had gathered her thoughts and formed a theory for a possible solution to their troubles. Her husband welcomed her theories but she knew part of him still held some disbelief to what she was saying.
"Tamara told me that no one can live forever, but what if we can?" Esther said with a hopeful tone. "What if there was a spell that could protect our family? We could stay together forever."
Mikael placed his hands on his wife's shoulders and gave them a gentle squeeze. "My love, I understand that losing Henrik has been difficult for you – it has been for all of us – but what you are speaking of is unheard of," he tried to tell her. "Tamara was correct, no one can live forever. We all must pass on someday, including our children."
Esther removed herself from Mikael's touch and turned her back to him. "It was unnatural to lose Henrik at such a young age in a tragic way and I refuse to go through that again with another of our children," she was clutching the talisman that hung around her neck tightly as she spoke. "I will not be able to handle any more loss in our family," she spun back around to face Mikael. "If there is anything I can do to prevent that then I will do it no matter the cost."
"Esther," Mikael started but was quickly cut off.
"No, Mikael," she said sternly and rose her hand to prevent him from coming any closer to her. "Our family will never be safe with those beasts so close by; we must protect our children, Mikael – that is our duty."
"We will protect them," he promised her. "We will not lose any more of our family, I promise you."
Esther shook her head. "That is a promise you cannot make." Mikael may try to protect them but how can a human man withstand a battle with a powerful supernatural beast? He could not. The beast would tear him apart like they did to little Henrik. "But I can," she said and without another word she walked passed Mikael.
If her husband would not help her then she would go to the only person she could trust, Ayanna.

"I find myself in need of your guidance more than ever, dear friend," Esther spoke when she and Ayanna arrived at the spot they went to regularly to practice their craft.
Ayanna looked to her friend with a concerned but curious look but said nothing and let Esther continue.
"Ever since Henrik's death, I have been searching for a way to keep my family safe from any more harm and I believe I may have found the solution," she explained with hopeful eyes.
"What have you found?"
"What if there was a way, a spell, that could make someone live forever," Esther answered and Ayanna felt her eyes widen in shock.
"There is no such spell, Esther," Ayanna replied quickly, stunned that her friend would even considering something so dangerous and unnatural.
"There must," Esther responded, the hopefulness gone from her eyes and now replaced with desperation. "There must be, Ayanna, please!"
"I have always taught you that our magic comes from nature, immortality is unnatural. We are not meant to live forever, it goes against the balance of nature," she tried to make her friend see reason.
"There must be other ways, other sources of magic."
"None of which you will hear from me," she cut in with a tone that made it clear that their conversation was over.
Ayanna had a profound and deep respect for Esther and she understood the pain and the loss the other woman was feelings, but she would not have any part in whatever Esther was planning.
It was their job to keep the balance, not tear it to shreds.
Perhaps this was the reason Bonnie had come to their time, to prevent such a thing from occurring. It must be. First Bonnie tells her of a doppelganger and now Esther's determination to turn her family immortal… It was an important enough issue for the spirits to risk messing the natural order by sending someone back in time.
Time travel was such a tricky and delicate thing and was only to be used in the most dire of times.
Times like these.
"I refuse to leave my family defenceless against the wolves," Esther spoke again. "I will not let another of my children succumb to the same fate as Henrik."
"And they will not," Ayanna tried to reassure her friend. "Your sons are warriors, my dear friend, they are never defenceless and you are a powerful witch."
Esther shook her head. "I'm sorry, Ayanna, but that is not good enough for me," she responded. "A sword will do no good against a beast that can move faster than a blink of an eye, or a bite that can tear through skin and bone like the weakest cloth."
"Immortality will not help you with that, my friend," Ayanna tried to tell Esther. "Immortality will only allow your family to live forever but it will not give them any defence against an attack of a wolf – they will not be able to match a wolf in battle."
A look of sheer determination crossed the face of the witch as the final piece of the puzzle was found. She could give them more than immortality. She could give them strength, speed and power. That stronger than a wolf's.
Esther now knew what it was that needed to be done and she now knew where to look.

Bonnie and Klaus returned to the village later that day and the first person they saw was Rebekah.
"There you two are," she greeted with a bright smile. "I have been looking all over for you," she said and linked arms with Bonnie and the three of them continued to walk.
"I had told you that Bonnie and I would be together for the day," Klaus replied with a roll of his eyes. His sister never listened to anything he said.
"Well, it has not only been me looking for you two but others as well," she said and looked between the both of them. "Bonnie, Ayanna has been looking for you and Niklaus," her eyes flickered to the ground and her voice dropped lower. "Father has been looking for you."
Klaus visibly tensed when Rebekah had informed him of Mikael looking for him and Bonnie immediately grabbed onto his arm and gave him a soft and comforting smile.
"Bonnie, you will find Ayanna over there," Rebekah told Bonnie with a friendly smile as she pointed over the other side of the village and beyond the trees.
"I will come and find you when after I finish speaking with Ayanna," Bonnie said to Klaus before she rose to her toes and gave him a quick kiss to the cheek.
Bonnie gave a quick goodbye to the two of them before she headed off in the direction Rebekah pointed to her.
"Ayanna," Bonnie announced her presence as she came upon the older witch with her back to her. Ayanna had been waiting for her just a little way into the woods to allow the both of them a little privacy from the town's people. "Rebekah said you were looking for me," she said with a polite smile.
"Yes, child," Ayanna replied with a smile of her own. "I must ask you something I know I should not," she said and took Bonnie's hands in hers. "I must know about the future and why you came here."
Bonnie let out a sigh before frowning. "I wish I could but Tamara said I shouldn't talk about it to anyone in risk of disrupting the timeline."
"I understand that, dear but I do believe what I need to know is related to why you are here," she said and Bonnie could sense the desperation in her voice. "I do believe Esther is planning something that goes against everything I have taught her."
Bonnie didn't know what to do. She knew exactly what Ayanna was talking about but she also remembered what Tamara said about this needing to happen, for Esther to succeed in her plans.
She felt conflicted. She wanted to tell Ayanna what was going on because she was Bonnie's family and because she deserved to know but Bonnie also knew that the older Bennett would try to prevent what Esther planned and that couldn't happen according to Tamara.
"If you will give me some time I will speak to Tamara and see what I can tell you but I don't want to risk ruining anything by telling you something I'm not supposed to," Bonnie finally said.
"So your presence here is connected to the Mikaelson's and to what Esther has planned for them."
Bonnie nodded slowly. "It is, but not in the way you may think."
I'm not here to stop it. I'm here to make sure it happens.
Along with something else that she wasn't exactly sure on yet. Tamara had only made clear that she was not to interfere in the transformation of the Original family. That was something that needed to happen.
"But I need to speak with Tamara before I reveal anything else to you," Bonnie quickly added. She really did not want to risk completely screwing up the timeline.
She'd very much like to return home to something normal.
Ayanna exhaled deeply before she nodded her head. "Very well, I will remain here and wait for you while you speak with her."
"I'll try and be quick," Bonnie promised the older witch before she turned around and headed back towards the village.
Bonnie had just about reached Tamara when Rebekah suddenly came running up to her in near hysterics.
"Bekah, what is it?" Bonnie asked her and placed her hands on the other girl's cheeks out of concern. "What's wrong?"
"It is Nik," she got out through her tears. "He needs you."
Bonnie felt the blood rush from her face and her heart drop to her stomach. "What happened?"
"It's bad," Rebekah cried and Bonnie pulled her into her arms. "It all happened to fast. Elijah had managed to pull him off Nik but…" she couldn't finish her sentence as she continued to cry into Bonnie's shoulder.
Rebekah wasn't being exactly clear in her words but Bonnie had managed to get the point of what she was trying to say.
Mikael has beaten Klaus.
Bonnie held Rebekah closer to her and tried to push down all emotions that were threatening to surface. She needed to be calm right now.
"Where is Nik now, Bekah?" Bonnie asked.
"He left in the direction of the lake, I think Kol followed him," she answered and lifted her head off Bonnie's shoulder.
"Where is Mikael now?" she hoped wherever he was he was far away from Niklaus.
"Elijah took him off to calm down in the woods," she said and wiped her eyes with her sleeve.
Bonnie caught sighed of Finn approaching them and she nodded to him before looking back to Rebekah. "Why don't you stay here with Finn and I will go see Klaus?" she suggested to her upset friend.
Rebekah had quickly latched onto her older brother's arm as soon as he reached the two of them.
"Do not worry, little sister, Niklaus will be fine," Finn comforted his sister and motioned to Bonnie to find Klaus.

Bonnie caught sight of Klaus as soon as she reached the lake. He was sitting with his back against the same rock she was earlier today. She also saw Kol not too far away from Klaus.
Kol smiled when he saw her and waved her over. She saw him say something to Klaus but she was too far away to hear what he said but whatever it was made Klaus sit up straighter while Kol only smirked at him.
"Greetings, pretty lady," Kol grinned when she stood in front of them. "I will give the two of you some time," he said and Bonnie thanked him with a smile.
"How are you feeling?" she asked Klaus as she sat on her knees between his open legs, her hands reaching to gently touch his reddened cheek but pulled back when Klaus hissed. "Sorry," she quickly apologised.
Klaus mustered a smile to tell her it was fine and his hand grabbed hers and held it.
"Rebekah is so worried for you," she said to him and moved his hair away from his face, careful to avoid the sore area of his face.
"My sister is too sensitive," he replied. "What she saw looked a lot worse than what it really was." Klaus hated that his sister had to witness that.
"What happened?" she asked him.
"I barely remember," he answered her and leant his head back against the rock. "It was all so quick."
Klaus was following Rebekah's direction to where his father was waiting but once he had arrived Mikael had driven his fist right into his face.
"Are you hurt anywhere else?" Klaus nodded and his free hand lifted up his shirt and Bonnie gasped at the purple and red splotches scattered over his stomach.
"He was rather angry with me," he tried to make a joke but it only caused Bonnie to frown.
Bonnie bit down hard on her lip to keep her emotions at bay, mostly her anger. Anger directed towards the cause of those wounds.
"There is no excuse," she said. "He should not have done this." She wanted to tend to him but had no idea how. She felt helpless.
"It is not as bad as it looks, my goddess," he said to her to try and put her at some ease.
"Why are you calling me that?" Bonnie asked him with a slight smile.
"You are what I imagined a goddess to look like," he said and brushed his fingers against her cheek bone. "You are kind, you are beautiful and strong – everything I imagined a goddess to be."
Bonnie looked down when she began to feel the heat rushing to her cheek for the second time today by his doing.
"I am no goddess," she said to him and looked back up to him.
He gave her the softest of smiles before he replied. "You are to me," he replied and began to lean forward for a kiss but before their lips could touch he let out a pained groan. By leaning towards her he had put pressure on the tender parts of his torso and Bonnie couldn't stop the feeling of anger from bubbling inside of her and it was all directed at Mikael.
The witch located Kol standing not too far away and motioned him to come back over.
When Kol reached them, Bonnie looked up at him. "I am going to go see if Tamara has anything that will help with the pain," she said to the both of them before she gave Klaus a quick kiss on the forehead and began to head back to the village, no longer able to hide the anger she was feeling.

Grams once told her that many things could fuel a witch's power and right now, Bonnie was livid and her mix of high emotion and power led her right to where Mikael was. She smiled to herself when she saw that he was alone. That was perfect for what she had in mind.
But unfortunately he had noticed her quicker than she would have liked. His glare was like ice when it fell upon her but she really didn't care, she wasn't afraid of him. She had no reason to be.
He was only human and she was a witch.
"What do you want, girl," his gruff voice spoke to her.
"Why are you like that to him?" she questioned him. "He tries so hard to be your perfect son and yet you treat him like dirt."
"Niklaus is a coward," Mikael sneered and Bonnie scoffed.
"Well, where I come from only a coward would beat their own child," she countered with a stern glare. She refused to back down from someone like him. "What is it that makes you despise him so much? He is a good person and doesn't deserve the way you treat him."
"I do not need to explain myself to you," he gritted and Bonnie narrowed her eyes at him. "This has nothing to do with you, you are nothing."
"I'm not the one who hurts the people I am meant to protect," she shot back at him. "He's your son; you should be protecting him not hurting him."
"Keep talking, girl and you will regret it," he threatened and took a warning step towards her.
"If you even think about laying a finger on her, you and I will have a big, big problem," Bonnie heard Godric's even more threatening tone sound from behind her and soon enough she had Tamara and Godric standing either side of her, both staring down the man in front of them.
"You do not want to get on our bad side, Mikael, you know that," Tamara spoke. "You know very well what we are capable of."
"Perhaps you should keep that witch of yours under control," he sneered in Bonnie's direction.
"She is none of your concern, now leave us, return to your family," Godric said to him and Mikael wasn't foolish enough to not listen to the powerful Spirit.
He gave a final glare to the young witch before stalking off.
Bonnie's smirk fell from her lips once Tamara and Godric turned to face her. "I know I shouldn't have but I couldn't just stand by and do nothing while he was hurting Nik," Bonnie defended her actions.
"You should never confront someone like Mikael on your own," Tamara chided. "Even as a human he is still incredibly dangerous."
"We understand that you want to look out for Niklaus but you can't run after Mikael every time he does something to hurt him," Godric finished for Tamara.
"I'm not afraid of him," she said to them.
"Believe me, you will be," Tamara muttered under her breath low enough that Bonnie didn't catch what she said.
"How did you know what I was doing anyway?" she asked them as the three of them headed back to the village.
She wasn't going to bother fighting them on the Mikael situation. He wasn't worth the breath she'd waste talking about him as far as she was concerned.
"Because it is our job to look out for you," Godric answered and placed a hand on her shoulder. "As long as you are with us, you are our responsibility."
"And while you are here you are connected to us, Bonnie," Tamara told her. "We will always know where you are and if you are in any kind of danger."
"I guess that would come in handy," Bonnie shrugged and stepped over a log.
"But don't rely on us every time you get into a bit of trouble," Tamara warned her. "We asked you not to cause any trouble while you are here."
"It wasn't deliberate," Bonnie defended herself. "I'm just so over the way he treats Klaus."
"As are we but we can't get involved in their family disputes," Godric said to her.
"Well maybe if you did, Klaus wouldn't be the way he is now," Bonnie retorted.
She wasn't excusing all of present-Klaus' behaviour on his issues with Mikael but it would be silly to deny that it wasn't at least part of the reason, especially since Mikael kept tracking him all over the world with the intent to kill him.
That would mess anyone up.
"By the way," Bonnie said, Godric and Tamara's presence suddenly reminded her of her original plans to seek the two of them out in regards to Ayanna. "Ayanna is worried about Esther and knows that she has something up her sleeve aka turning her family into vampires and she is desperate to know if that's the reason I'm here but I told her I had to speak to you before I told her anything."
"Don't say anything," Godric said to her straight away.
"Ayanna is one we can trust," Tamara said to him. "If we can convince her that it's for the best and the Spirits wish for her to happen she will listen." Tamara turned her attention to Bonnie. "You can answer her questions but don't reveal too much, don't give her details and tell her that this is what the Spirits wish to happen."
"I still think it be best not to say anything at all," Godric jumped in.
"If we tell her nothing it will give her more reason to get involved and that is something she cannot do," Tamara responded to Godric. "I trust that Ayanna will listen to Bonnie and to the Spirits, she always does."

"Ayanna, I am so sorry I took so long," Bonnie apologised when she finally got back to Ayanna after she left Tamara and Godric.
As soon as Rebekah told her what had happened, Ayanna and her questions had been completely wiped from Bonnie's mind and all she could focus on was Niklaus and she just wanted to get back to him and see if he was okay.
"How is Niklaus?" she asked with concern. Ayanna shook off her apology; she too had heard what had happened and understood Bonnie's distraction. But Ayanna had not been able to return back to the village on this day. She did not want to face Esther after their earlier encounter.
"I think he will be okay," Bonnie answered. "Rebekah and Kol are with him now and Finn and Elijah are making sure Mikael stays far away from him."
Klaus was incredibly lucky to have the siblings that they did. They all worried and cared for him but she couldn't understand what they did for him to end up putting daggers in their hearts. It was something that always played in the back of her mind and she didn't think she'd ever understand.
"Did you speak with Tamara?" Ayanna asked her and Bonnie nodded. "What are you able to tell me?"
"That you need to let Esther do what it is she feels she needs to do," Bonnie said to her. "You need to not interfere because what she does must happen."
"What Esther plans to do goes against everything we were taught to believe in," Ayanna responded, a little shocked that the spirits wished for such an unnatural thing to come to pass. "No one should be able to live forever, especially not in the way Esther has planned for her family."
"You are right," Bonnie empathised with Ayanna. "But this is something that needs to happen for the world to form the way it needs to be and when it does, the spirits will step in and fix what Esther has done," she tried to explain to the older witch.
"Will Esther turn her family into monsters?" Ayanna finally gained enough courage to ask.
The witch cared for those children a great deal, she had known them all since they were just tiny babies and the possibility that they may be turning into something terrible and beastly was nearly too much for her to handle.
Bonnie managed to keep back the frown that was threatening to form before she answered her ancestor.
"Yes."

It was much later that evening when Bonnie met with Niklaus in the cave beneath the village. He looked up and smiled when he saw her enter the rocky cavern, one that she immediately returned as she sat down next to him on the cold, hard floor.
"How long have you been down here for?" she asked him and couldn't help but rest her head on his shoulder.
"Since returning from the lake," he answered her. "I was not ready to face anyone yet, especially not him." Bonnie could understand his reserves about returning back home. "I felt like being alone for a while," he said.
"You wish to be alone?" Bonnie asked him and looked up at him with a teasing smile.
Klaus grinned for what seemed to be the first time in hours and pulled Bonnie onto his lap. "I wish to be alone with you."
Being closer to his face, she was able to see the darkness on his cheek in the flickering light of the flaming torches. Bonnie brought her hand up to face and very gently her fingers brushed against the bruise that was forming on his cheek.
He flinched under her touch but only from the coolness of her fingers but he found her gentle brushes to be soothing against the sore flesh, so much though that his hand came up to wrap around her wrist to keep her hand there.
"You must have a healing touch," he smiled to her and his head turned so he could place a kiss to her wrist.
"Has he done this before?" she asked him and her other hand brushed through his hair and down to rest upon his shoulder.
Klaus shook his head. "Though I have been anticipating it for a long while now," he confessed to her.
"You should not have had to," she responded and her other hand fell from his cheek.
He gave her a soft smile as his arms circled her waist and pulled her closer to him. "Can we not speak of my father right now?" he requested and his forehead touched hers.
"Of course," she agreed and gave him a gentle but quick kiss that had Klaus sighing.
With each kiss, the pain left his body.
She kissed him again, a little more pressure added this time and her hands threaded through his hair.
Their lips moved together perfectly as Klaus ran his strong hands up and down her back and pressed them tighter together. He felt an ache in his torso but it was easily ignored when she began to trail kisses down his neck.
Bonnie slowly unlaced the strings of his shirt before removing the fabric all together and letting it drop to the ground next to them.
Her lips pulled away from his when her eyes caught sight of the forming bruises all over his torso from the hard kicks that Mikael had delivered to him.
"I'm so sorry that this happened to you," she whispered as her fingers softly glided over the bruised areas. She felt Klaus' fingers under her chin and tilted her face up to look at him and his lips gently brushed against hers.
"Being here with you helps me to forget the pain," he murmured against her lips before he pulled her back in for another kiss. "When you are around I no longer feel the darkness surrounding me." Another kiss was placed on her lips. "You are my goddess, Bonnie. I don't know what I did to deserve you but I have never been happier than I am now with you," he confessed to her, lips brushing against hers with every word.
"You were you," Bonnie said and bit down on her lip and her hands cupped his face. "And you are making it incredibly difficult for me to resist falling for you, Niklaus," she said and their lips met once again, this time with more pressure, more passion.
"Then stop resisting," he whispered between a kiss, his hands slipping the dress from Bonnie's shoulders. "I have."
No more words were said between them, instead, the sounds of pleasure and passion were the only noises to be heard inside the now heated cavern as lips and tongues danced while hands explored every inch of exposed flesh as they joined as one.

Klaus had sensed Elijah before he heard him speak.
He had been waiting for his brother to wake up for quite some time now; he had heard Rebekah remove the dagger before she left for the witch house to await Bonnie's return and Klaus hadn't bothered to race down and put the dagger back in his brother's heart.
Elijah would understand his predicament much better than Rebeakh.
"You do know the first thing Bonnie will demand you do once she returns, do you not?" Elijah questioned his brother as he leant against the doorframe of Niklaus' bedroom.
"Release Finn and Kol," Klaus replied knowingly without turning to face his recently un-daggered brother.
"I would say it'd be better to remove the daggers before then," Elijah said and walked further into his brother's room and didn't stop until he was in front of the hybrid. "I know the both of them would love to welcome her home to us."
"She won't be staying for long," Klaus muttered and took another swig of the bottle of whiskey he held in his hands. "So I'd rather our brother's not witness the things she will say to me."
"Kol and Finn are not going to care about your troubles with her, they will want to see her because they care for her and would want to help her adjust to her new memories," Elijah explained to him. "It may even distract them from what you have done to them; they will be so preoccupied with Bonnie that they won't even think to extract their bit of vengeance on you for locking them up for so long."
Klaus knew that his brother had a point and it appealed to the hybrid. He knew Kol and Finn would both be feeling incredibly angry and vengeful for what he did to them so perhaps a distraction for them would not be so bad.
"I will remove the daggers once Bonnie arrives here," Klaus promised his brother. "I suppose it will be a nice surprise for them when they wake."
"I don't accept that," Elijah refused. "Remove their daggers now and explain to them what is going on and I will make sure they behave until you have dealt with your Bonnie related issues."
"How did you even know that it was today Bonnie would be going through this, you've been dead for the last few months?" Klaus asked him and Elijah pulled a neatly folded piece of paper from his suit pocket.
"Rebekah left me a little note informing me of the date and a promise not to repay you for the dagger in my heart," he answered. "And given today's circumstances I shall grant Rebekah her wish and leave you be," his voice then took on a more threatening tone that never failed to send a shiver down the hybrid's spine. "But only for today, I will allow you your time with Bonnie and regardless of how that goes, tomorrow you and I have an appointment."
Klaus finally looked up to Elijah with an emotionless façade. "I look forward to it, brother."

I'm kind of terrified to update because I've kept you guys waiting for so long….You all probably want to kick my ass right about now…
I hope you enjoyed this chapter, I'm a little nervous about it TBH so I really hope you like it! I know some might not which is (partially) the reason I didn't go into great detail (saving it for later winkwink lol!) and obviously things in this aren't going to be 100% historically correct (probably not even 50%) because if it were, you'd never get updates because I would be throwing my laptop at the wall in frustration and I really don't want to do that.
Hope you don't mind the new nick-name. I wanted to use something different than the usual but don't worry if you don't, it won't be used a lot (see? I'm stressing about this chapter! Lol)
For my apology I am going to give you guys longer chapters starting next chapter because that is when the magic and Esther's plans start to form and take place and also because I really want to wrap up the past stuff and get to the modern stuff so I can actually go back to enjoying writing this story because I have a lot planned for it.
Thank you all so, so very much for the wonderful feedback I have been receiving for this story, I really appreciate it and each review gives me a kick of motivation so please keep them coming!
Any mistakes in this chapter I apologise for (I tried to read through it but it's late here and I'm super tired!) and please leave a review with your thoughts!
Next chapter Esther's figures out the details of her plans and she asks for Bonnie's assistance, Mikael gets on board with her plan too, lots of Klonnie, Finn and Kol in the present time and more!
