They all gasped at the name.

Caroline suddenly felt dizzy.

She did, of course, know Kol. Not in person, thank god, but she saw him around town a couple of times.

She knew that he was an Original.

She knew that he killed people.

And she knew that he revelled in those killings.

But it was so much more different to actually speak to someone Kol had killed.

Was this a coincidence? Surely not.

Or was it?

'Caroline.' Elena whispered and nodded towards the pointer, which was now moving towards the letters hastily.

'KOL MIKAELSON KILLED ME AND THEN MY FAMILY.'

Caroline didn't know what to say. Or ask. Things weren't supposed to go like this at all.

She cleared her throat.

'Why?'

The pointer once again moved towards the letters, but none of the words made sense.

'Why did he kill you and your family, Eva? Caroline tried again.

'WE WERE IN LOVE. OR AT LEAST I THOUGHT SO. '

Caroline glanced at Elena. She was biting her lip nervously.

'BUT THEN HE SAID THAT LOVE WAS A VAMPIRE'S GREATEST WEAKNESS. AND EVERYTHING ENDED. MY LIFE. MY FAMILY'S LIVES.'

'I'm so sorry Eva.' Caroline said.

'VAMPIRES ARE NOT TO BE TRUSTED.'

Caroline heard Bonnie mumble something very similar to 'tell me about it.'

Caroline was slightly offended though. Vampires are not to be trusted? Surely, Eva had forgotten the word 'some' at the beginning of her sentence.

Because hello, she was a vampire and she was so to be trusted. She was like the most trustworthy person ever.

Well, maybe after Elena.

And Stefan wasn't that bad either. For a vampire.

Damon was, of course, a different story.

'BUT I CAN HELP YOU.'

Bonnie furrowed her eyebrows and shook her head at Caroline.

'KOL IS HERE, ISN'T HE?'

'What? No... No. ' She stuttered. Because he wasn't here. Not in her house anyways.

Oh my god, was he? She was seriously getting creeped out.

'KOL IS IN YOUR TOWN, ISN'T HE?'

Caroline sighed with relief and corrected herself.

'Yes.'

'I CAN HELP YOU.'

Again, Bonnie shook her head and mouthed a small 'no.'

'Help me how?'

'I CAN HELP YOU KILL HIM.'

'We know how to kill him. He is an Original, therefore, we need to stab him with the white oak tree. But we don't have it.'

'THERE IS ANOTHER WAY.'

'Another way?'

'YES'

'What is it?'

'I WILL TELL YOU.'

Caroline waited.

'BUT I NEED YOU TO LET ME SHOW YOU SOMETHING.'

'Show me something?'

'YES. I NEED YOUR AGREEMENT. FOR A PORTAL.'

Before Caroline had a chance to reply, Bonnie jumped up and moved the pointer to goodbye, at the same time saying 'We're leaving now, rest in peace.'

Both Elena and Caroline looked at Bonnie questioningly.

'Portals are things that let spirits get from their world to ours.'

Caroline let out a small 'Ooh.'

'It's a good thing we have you Bonnie.' Elena whispered, looking terrified.

'I guess so.' She answered.

Needless to say, they spent the rest of their evening doing no harmless stuff.

Just watching cartoons.

Courage the Cowardly dog.

Because right now, that's what they needed most.
