Later that day Bonnie woke in her bed and rubbed her eyes a little before rolling over to find Kol still laying fast asleep next to her. She couldn't help but smile to herself as she watched him sleeping, 'who would have thought I'd end up with a 1000 year old vampire' she thought to herself. Bonnie laid for at least 10 minutes just examining every feature on Kol's face but her thoughts were soon interrupted by Kol, "Its rude to stare" he said in a mocking voice before opening his eyes. "I wasn't staring I was just watching, its different" she said with a quiet giggle as Kol stretched his arms. "So what are you going to do?" she said, biting her lip a little as her smile disappeared. Kol turned to look at Bonnie for a second with his rare serious face before pulling one of the pillows that laid next to him over his face, "Im going to lay here for all eternity" he said from beneath the pillow. Bonnie laughed slightly as she took Kol's hand in hers, "Im serious Kol, what are you going to do about Esther? The next full moon is tomorrow and I don't really fancy loosing someone else I love". Kol pulled the pillow from his face and threw it on the floor as he pulled Bonnie over to rest her head on his chest whilst he wrapped his arms around her waist. "You're not going to lose anyone else Bonnie, I'll take care of it I promise".
Two Hours later
Kol ran effortlessly up the marble steps in to the Mikaelson mansion and into the long drawing room in which he found Klaus, Elijah and Rebekah. "Oh look, the wanderer returns" Klaus said as he temporarily looked up from his artwork to his younger brother who was now leaning against the fireplace. "We all know he wasn't wandering Klaus, he was with the Bennett witch, isn't that right dear brother?" Rebekah rhetorically asked as she sat painting her nails. "I don't think that's really any of your business is it Bekah?" Kol instantly answered as he cast a very sarcastic grin in his sister's direction. "Enough!" Elijah said with a wave of the hand, "Kol can take care of himself. We have more important things to discuss such as mother's weird behaviour". "Well you'd be right to be worried Elijah, it seems mummy dearest wants to kill us all" Kol answered, "and it seems our dear brother was only too willing to help her". All three of Kol's siblings sent him an infuriated glance as they focused their attention on him. "Don't be ridiculous Kol, mother loves us she wouldn't want to kill us" Rebekah spat at her brother as she walked towards to door behind him. "Why would I lie about this Rebekah?" Kol asked. "I don't know Kol but your pretty little girlfriend might do and no doubt you got this information from her? If she's lying I will tear her apart" Rebekah whispered in Kol's ear as she brushed past him. The last part of Rebekah's speech infuriated Kol, he spun round and grabbed Rebekah's arm before she could leave and pulled he back in to the centre of the room, "Touch her and I'll put you back in that box of yours for another century" he snarled at her. Rebekah laughed loudly her brother and flashed a mocking small almost identical to his, "You really have fallen fall her haven't you? Looks like you should listen to your own advice, what was it you said to me? Ohh that's right falling for a mortal is the first sign of weakness; isn't that right Kol?". "Shut up Rebekah, your wining is painful" Klaus exclaimed as he threw his drawings down on the sofa next to him. "What is it exactly that she has planned?" Klaus asked, his eyebrows raised in curiosity.
Kol wandered forward and took a seat in front of Klaus before speaking to his siblings. "She performed a spell that has linked us as one; if one of us dies we all die together. Bonnie said that mother wants to carry out a ritual on the next full moon where she hopes to use Bonnie's power and the power of her ancestors to reverse her own magic" he told the others, looking at them each as he shared the information. "So how do we stop her?" Elijah asked as he tapped his fingers against his forehead. "All we can do is interrupt the ritual and try to stop her" Kol shrugged.
Back at Bonnie's
It had been an hour since Kol had left and Bonnie was already missing him, the house now felt lonely as it was just her. She started rummaging round downstairs, tidying things away as danced to the music that was now playing from the radio in the kitchen. Bonnie spun round to find Elena stood in the doorway in front of her, "I did knock" Elena said. Bonnie couldn't help but stand in silence for a few minutes as she stared at Elena. "Look Bon, I know you said you didn't want to help us but there's someone here that wants to speak to you". Just as Elena spoke the last few words, another figured appeared in the doorway next to her, a woman she had seen at the Mikaelson ball….`Esther' Bonnie thought to herself. "Hello Bonnie" the tall blonde woman said, "I know that you know who I am so I'll cut the introductions and just say what needs to be said" Esther spoke softly. "I love my children but they are an abomination on this earth. I cannot bare to see them cause any more pain or suffering to those around them Bonnie! I need to restore the balance of nature and I need your help to do so" the original witch explained to Bonnie who just stood in silence. "Please Bonnie" Elena reinforced Esther's plea. Bonnie just stood and looked at the floor as she contemplated what the pair in front of her had said. Bonnie suddenly had an idea as to how she could help Kol, it was a spell she had read in her grimwar a long time ago that she could use to prevent Esther from channelling her power and the power of her ancestors. Bonnie put on her best smile and looked up at Elena and Esther before answering, "I'll do it". "Thank you Bonnie" Elena and Esther both said in harmony, "Your ancestors would be proud" Esther continued. Bonnie nodded at the pair as she tried to act as though she was as happy as they were, she hated every moment of lying to Elena. "We'll leave you to think" Elena said as she smiled widely at her best friend.
Once Elena and Esther had gone, Bonnie rushed over to the shelves and pulled out her grimwar in which she had seen the spell she was planning to use. She read through the spell multiple times, trying her best to memorise it. 'Bonnie what are you doing?' she heard a familiar voice say inside her head, 'you know you can't take on Esther, she's too strong, it'll kill you'. Bonnie looked up from her grimwar to the picture of her grams that was on the table in front of her. "I have to do this Grams, I'm sorry" she said as she tried to hold back tears. Bonnie stood up and looked at herself in the mirror, taking a deep breath as she did so. "If I'm going to do this no one can know, not even Kol".
