Fifteen

Rebekah wrinkled her nose as she walked through the hallways of her family home, there were bodies splattered all around the compound and dried blood on the wall. She sighed irritably, definitely Klaus' doing.

She wished that her brother weren't so lazy and reckless, because she always ended up cleaning up the messes. She entered the living room and found Elijah flipping through a copy of War and Peace at such an angry pace that Rebekah was surprised that he hadn't ripped the pages in half. Klaus was watching in amusement.

Rebekah crossed her arms over her chest. "Nik, I would appreciate it if you would clean up your messes. I'm not your maid."

"That is not my doing," Klaus said, the amusement evident in his voice. "It's all our big brother Elijah's doing, He's being terribly moody."

"I am not moody." He snapped as he closed his book.

"He's angry that Katerina chose to dump him, I keep telling him that he can do so much better, but he doesn't want to listen."

Elijah threw a poisonous look towards Klaus and Rebekah sighed, only her older brother could fall prey to the doppelganger's charms. "Why don't you two go apologize to your wives so that we can move on with our lives?"

"Excellent idea, Rebekah." Elijah stood up and glance at Klaus. "Come along, brother."

"Me? Caroline and I have already worked out our issues."

"Really?" Rebekah raised an eyebrow. "Is that why you have been here pouting ever since?"

Davina raised her head when she heard a knock on the door. She had been studying a few pages out of Esther's Grimore and she was surprised when she noticed that she had a visitor. The only visits that she usually received were of Marcel or Klaus.

"Come in."

Bonnie entered the room. "Hi, Davina? Davina Claire. I'm Bonnie Bennett."

"Yes?" Davina said inching away suspiciously. "Who are you? Your last name is of witch descent. Are you a witch?"

"Yes and no." Bonnie replied.

Davina looked confused. "I was a witch, but then I became the anchor to the other side. Sort of a passageway so that supernatural creatures could enter the Other Side."

Davina looked curious. "How did you become the anchor?"

Bonnie bit her lip. "It's a long story. I came to help you, Sophie told me-"

"Oh, yes Sophie." Davina said in utter disgust. "What, did she send you? Sorry to disappoint, but I'm not really in the mood of dying today. So leave before I throw you out."

"No, I didn't come to-"she trailed off. "Look, I know how hard magic can be sometimes and I just wanted to let you know that I'm here if you ever need help with spells or something's."

Davina smiled. "You will really help me?"

Bonnie nodded.

Caroline, Katherine, and Bonnie were once again at Sophie's restaurant and bar and had just been debating about ordering Sophie's chili for dinner when suddenly the ground started shaking and it stopped almost immediately.

"What was that?" Caroline asked.

Katherine shrugged. "Some lame earthquake."

"No." Bonnie sighed. "Davina, she's withholding the power of four witches, Sophie says that she won't be able to control it for long and that sometimes this will happen."

Caroline bit her lip. "You make it sound so normal."

Bonnie shrugged. "I need to tell you guys something, I also don't need you guys blabbering it all, over the place."

"Our lips are sealed and our ears open." Katherine blinked eagerly. "Spill, Bonnie."

"A witch passed though me last night." She explained. "And she told me that the baby that Hayley is carrying is not Klaus', but," she gave Caroline a nervous glance. "The baby is Tyler and Hayley's. Hayley has just been passing it as Klaus."

Caroline and Katherine gaped.

"Wait, Tyler." Caroline squeaked. "When did he and that were-slut get together?"

"Probably when he ditched town." Katherine said happily. "How come I'm the only happy one here?"

Caroline opened her mouth to protest, but Bonnie hissed. "Shh, they're coming."

Katherine gave a silent groan.

"Ladies." Elijah said to the three girls. "Sorry for interrupting."

"So the rumors are true," Klaus said eyeing Bonnie. "You came along and you're not dead."

"Thanks." Bonnie said sourly. "I'm the anchor now."

"Anchor?" Elijah asked perplexed.

"She's the supernatural passageway." Katherine snapped, her eyes glancing in Elijah's direction. She was so angry at him that she seemed to be ignoring Klaus completely. "What are you doing here, Elijah?"

"I need to talk to you," Elijah said firmly. "In private, please."

Katherine narrowed her eyes and they both seemed to be glaring at each other before she said. "Fine."

As the two of them left, Kol appeared next to Bonnie. "Trouble in paradise. I wonder how Elijah's perfect feathers would get ruffled if he knew his precious Katerina and I had a history."

"Kol, don't be a jerk."

"Kol?" Klaus raised his head. "He's here?"

"Yes, I am, you backstabbing, treacherous bas-"

"Kol says hi," Bonnie interrupted.

There was a rare amount of guilt on Klaus' face before he said. "Hello, Kol."

There was an awkward silence before Caroline sprinted out of her chair and grabbed Klaus's wrist. "I need to talk to you." She really wasn't sure how she was going to explain the whole baby thing, but at least it was a start.

Bonnie sighed once she was alone. Again. It seemed that on this girls trip Bonnie still ended up being the third wheel even when Katherine and Caroline were fighting with-well, she didn't know what exactly Elijah and Klaus were too them.

Bonnie raised her head when she saw that Kol was too quiet. "What's wrong? You usually don't shut up."

There was a twitch of a smile on Kol's face, but it quickly disappeared. "There's something wrong, Bonnie."

"Where?"

"On the other side." Kol said as if it should have been obvious. "Haven't you noticed, some kind of power shift . . . I don't know everything just feels unbalanced."

"Unbalanced how?" Bonnie asked worriedly. She thought that as the Anchor she would feel most changes, but she had been too caught up with everything else that she hadn't actually been paying proper attention.

Kol shrugged. "I don't know exactly how to explain it. It's almost like it's falling apart."
