Hello everyone, sorry for taking almost an entire fortnight with this, I think. The last Doc says 87 days more life which means I haven't updated in 13 days which looks like two weeks and I swear it feels like just the day before I updated.

So OMG I love Questsiyah. She's badass. Stefan losing his memory...I kinda don't wanna see Stelena fall in love all over again, once is enough.

Responses:

Rucky: I know right?

Draco-Harry-Lover-1: You have no idea just how accurate you are...

roseberrygirl: Actually there's another reason why she's so angry but basically, like if someone shows you just how much they care for you only to go sleep with another girl, more so if the girl he slept with is someone she hates, if she wasn't pissed I would be. You are so right... it hurt her deeper than he's even aware of.

SabbyDeeKnowles: let's not damn the children just yet...

Hazel21: Just because Caroline's human, doesn't mean she's weak. I think anyone who's been a vampire and turned wouldn't quite back down from another vampire. She'll be so accustom to dealing with them that she forgets she's no longer one.

PookaDooka01: I hope your views will change after this chapter...

On With the chapter...!

Chapter 7: Devious Little Wolf

One Week Later…

"Kol, don't you find it kinda odd that Elijah's been gone this whole time?" Bonnie asked, while reading through a grimoire Kol had given her. He told her that it was one of her family member's grimoire he acquired a couple of hundred years ago. It had all sorts of spells in it, stuff Bonnie thought was impossible, even given the world they lived in.

"Probably with Katherine" he said, his tone sounded a bit sarcastic and distant "Probably with sweet Elena" he smirked.

"Kol" Bonnie warned… but she did miss Elena though and talking to Jeremy, but she told Jeremy that she was alive. He was happy of course but she told him not to tell anyone where she was. She emailed her friends every week, Elena occasionally texted her from time to time, as did Jeremy.

She couldn't tell them where she was or what she was doing. She was protecting her friend, she was helping the Originals, as crazy as that sounded.

"It was a joke, little phoenix" he teased "But I do find it odd that my big brother, of all people isn't here to relish in the making of Niklaus's redemption. It is quite odd of him to just get up and leave without saying anything to anyone" he started clearing the table of all the books, grimoires, papers and packed them aside before placing a giant map on the table "He's not answering phone calls, responding to texts, nothing" His face turned into his true nature, dark purple veins under his eyes, eyes darkened with blood and elongated fangs.

He put his index finger to his mouth and punctured a hole in his skin, causing blood to seep through.

He dropped the blood on the map, drop after drop after drop before the wound healed, leaving a stain of blood in its wake. He closed his eyes and mumbled the words as if they were being unconsciously said.

"Fes matos tribum nas ex viras, Sequitas saguines, Ementas asten mihan ega petous"

Bonnie raised an eyebrow at him "You've done a locator spell before?"

"No, but when you hang around with witches for the time I did, the words never leave you" he smirked.

He watched as the blood as it trickled it way on the map to the location where Elijah was being held, when it stopped, he smiled, an actual smile, it was sadistic and menacing but it was a smile nonetheless.

"I know exactly where he is" Kol smirked.

Katherine has been lurking around the french quarter with a couple of friends, she called in favor of yesterday when she spotted the Lockwood boy also lurking around in New Orleans, she found it odd of him to be there to begin with considering he was supposed to be running from Klaus instead of walking into the very town he currently lived in.

She saw a lot of vampires, like tons, it felt like a city that was especially made for vampires, with a few blood bags walking around for feeding pleasure. The thought of it was actually genius, a supernatural town for all vampires to come and be what they were without having to hide from those that seeked to kill them. It was liberating, actually.

There was something, or someone she hasn't seen in a while. Hayley.

The best way to get a job done was to do it yourself, never send a man to to a woman's job. She should have killed that little wolf when she had the chance.

Now she was also in New Orleans, where the Originals have taken up residence. A coincidence maybe, or was there something going on….?

Katherine spotted Hayley going towards the Lockwood boy as he sat in a diner on the outskirts of The French Quarter and if she knew better, she'd say they were planning something against someone…

She made her way to the diner as well, wanting to listen to what they were plotting and hoped that the information they would unknowingly provide for her would help her.

"Table for one" she said sweetly to the lady.

She smiled at her and took a menu up before directing her to a table opposite the couple who were greeting one another. She made sure to face away from them so that she wouldn't be spotted, while she opened the menu and skimmed through it, but listened intently to their conversation.

"I'm in a terrible bind Ty, there's these witches who are threatening to kill me, this town does not allow werewolves and on top of that, I have to deal with three Originals that hate me. Elijah promised to protect me but he just up and left like a week ago and hasn't returned since, I couldn't call you without getting you killed or getting us killed and causing a war but now I can" she sounded hurt by the fact that Elijah disappeared after promising her protection. It was so like him to want to protect his family. How sweet, Katherine thought with a roll of her chocolate brown eyes.

Elijah disappearing for over a week was a bit unsettling and so unlike him,

Something happened to him, she knew it, the only place he disappeared to like that was to see her and she has been waiting for him like a sad puppy for days now.

"Wait, why are you with the Originals, they're dangerous Hayley, especially that stunt you pulled with the other hybrids, Klaus may have given me my freedom but that doesn't mean I should live in the same city as him" Tyler argued, his voice sounded so concerned, she could aw at the couple.

"I'm pregnant Ty" she said softly, placing a gentle hand on her stomach.

He looked stunned, as did Katherine. She was a wolf but the people she has been sleeping with were dead, it was impossible really.

"Wh… What?" cross that, he was stunned.

"The witches confirmed it, they're holding it against Klaus, if he doesn't do what they want him to do, they'll kill me and this baby" her tone sounded frantic and Katherine was pleased at the witches, to find something that would make Klaus submit, even though this little wolf and her child normally wouldn't have made him bend to no rules, she knew Elijah had something to do with that. No one could have persuaded Klaus to not kill the girl and the child except him.

Always the silver tongue.

"You're pregnant...with...Klaus's…" he couldn't even finish the sentence. He sounded disgusted.

"Tyler listen" she insisted and he closed his mouth instantly.

"The witch confirmed that the child was a hybrid, so she instantly thought it was Klaus's and I didn't disagree because she offered me something. She offered me information to some family I have. She says that all she has to do is make sure that Klaus accepts the deal they made and I keep up appearances and when my part is over, I can leave to go find my real family" she paused before continuing "I had to do this, they were going to kill me and the baby if he didn't agree to their terms, I had to say it was Klaus's"

"You mean it's not Klaus's child, then whose is it?" Tyler asked.

"Ty remember when I told you that after the Katherine mess, I left Mystic Falls and came to you, you know what we did…" she trailed off and Tyler's eyes widened in shock.

"You mean…" he was cut off.

"Yes, the child is yours" Hayley quickly said.

Caroline was in the kitchen again, looking for something to eat again because she knew it was too early for the crazy eating habits but she was angry and when she was angry, she got very hungry. With child and without.
That woman had managed to insult her, called her a cheater and smiled as if they were the best of friends.

She was so close to choking her it was at the tip of her fingers just waiting...

That woman had the nerve to…

She should not be so upset about this! He was a free man, he was a free man, she had told him one too many times that she wasn't interested yet he kept pursuing her, it was only a matter of time before he would have moved on.

She just didn't think he would have chosen Hayley of all the women in the world.

She was still pissed about this. She was pregnant, Hayley was pregnant, Klaus was the father of both if their children and to top it all off, the morning sickness was only getting worse, her heart made her sick constantly, and everyone was almost either never there or stuck in their rooms.

Kol and Bonnie were the most peculiar of them all, Bonnie seemed to be stronger, more confident, more bold now. Kol was the most annoying Original of them all, like little brother annoying.

Then there was that voice message Tyler left her and even though she removed it from her phone, it was like on replay in her head constantly and she couldn't help but feel angry by it.

Then she still didn't know how Klaus felt about all of this and it was slowly screwing with her mind. She knew that the thought of having a child enough was scary and now thinking about two of them, she understood that he needed more time, but she was beginning to get antsy.

After searching the fridge and finding nothing, she huffed.

"You sound tired"

She jumped and turned around to find Rebekah standing at the doorway with a smug smirk on her face. Her heartbeat picked up at a fast rate before slowly, agonizingly slowly returning to normal.

"Rebekah, you need to stop doing that, you'll give me a heart attack" she breathed out, clutching her chest in attempt to stop her heart from pounding so hard in her chest

"You're stressing again, you need a distraction" Rebekah said, leaning to the side of the doorframe.

"Oh yeah, and what did you have in mind?" she asked.

"A quick lunch and a history lesson" she smirked.

A two hour drive later, they were on the outskirts of the French Quarter at a little diner as Caroline ate to her hearts content, which was a lot considering she usually ate very little.

She was blaming it on the hormones.

Rebekah had sat there and stared at her for the beginning of her meal and Caroline did not like to be watched, especially when she was eating. It made her feel uncomfortable.

The other half was spent texting someone, Caroline didn't care because she wasn't being watched so she ate comfortably while Rebekah texted away.

When she was finished, she slipped her phone in her purse and looked at Caroline.

"It seems my brother thinks that Elijah's in town, finally putting himself back on the map"

"Wait, what?" Caroline asked, as a spoon full of pasta was about to enter her mouth. She rest the spoon down and listened intently to Rebekah as she spoke.

"Yes, Elijah's coming back, I am curious to where he has been this whole time" Rebekah said in a tired tone.

"Where is he?" Caroline asked.

Rebekah smirked "Don't you worry about that sweetheart, the whole point of this little trip is to stop you from stressing, not adding on more…" she trailed off.

"I-" Rebekah cut her off.

"You were stressing, my best guess would be about my brother and his lack of words on the child baking in your oven and the werewolf slut also cooking her own little one" she smirked, stretching over to Caroline's plate, picking up her fork and sticking it in a meatball on her plate, she used the knife beside the plate to cut a piece of it off before popping some in her mouth. She smirked, remembering the divine taste of french food and missing France, making herself a silent promise to visit there again.

"Speaking of, where did she disappear to today, not that I'm complaining, but…" Rebekah cut her off.

"She went to see the witch, or so she said, I really don't care and neither should you"

"Of course you should care!" Caroline snapped "We both may hate the mother but not the child, what if she does something selfish like I don't know, trying to kill it?"

"Then we keep her alive until your unborn child is born, turn you back and we'll bond over torturing her until she turns 40" Rebekah smirked and Caroline scoffed and rolled her eyes.

"Torturing her won't bring back the child, Rebekah" Caroline pointed out.

"I know but it'll be extremely fun" she teased with a smile.

Caroline shook her head with a smile on it "You're not distracting me, if anything you're making it worse" she laughed softly.

Rebekah's smile vanished and she knew what she had to do. She didn't like talking much, but they both needed a distraction, mostly because Kol told her to keep Caroline out of town, so she figured that a history lesson was in order, considering she was going to live in New Orleans basically now.

"Fine, let's begin the history lesson" she smirked before continuing "In the year 1820 my brothers and I were attending the funeral of one of my boyfriends Niklaus killed…" Caroline cut her off.

"Why did Klaus kill him?" Caroline asked.

"He spoke up for my honor after Nik made some nasty comments about me and Niklaus doesn't like to be disrespected" she smiled snidely before continuing.

"Anyways, he was the governor's son but he wasn't the governor's only son" she paused for dramatic effect "Marcellus Gerard was his bastard son from one of his maids"

"Wait, you mean…"

"Yes, Marcel is a bastard" Rebekah smirked at her choice of words "Yes now on with the story"

"He was being whipped for something, we never knew what, and he threw an apple at the man who was beating him in retaliation and defiance, the man was killed by Nik before he could strike him. I'm sure you know of our past with our father and Nik so you can see why Nik saved him" Caroline was sitting opposite Rebekah, taking in every word she said.

"Not much" she replied.

"Mikael struck us as children, when he was angry, or upset, or when we did something we weren't supposed to do, but not Nik, he struck Nik mostly for no reason, other times would be for sticking up for one of us, he saved me from many beatings. He was most protective of Henrik and I" she paused to smile, an actual smile that Caroline rarely ever saw.

"All he wanted then was someone to love and to love him in return, all he wanted was his mother's and father's love… now it is because of Mikael and Esther why he is the way he is" Rebekah's tone suddenly turned cold and the sound of her parent's name on her lips.

"Your dad's a dick" Caroline spat.

Rebekah smiled "That we can agree on, now on with the story, I got sidetracked" she shook her head.

"By adding one and one together, you'd see why Niklaus saved the boy" Rebekah raised an eyebrow at her, wanting her to say it.

"He saw himself in Marcel when he was a child." Caroline stated and Rebekah nodded.

"Nik was the one to give him that name, Marcellus comes from Mars, is means little warrior. Since then, Nik taught him all he knew, which is quite a lot considering the amount of years we've lived. One day Mikael found where we were and burned the mansion down, we never saw Marcel ever since, we believed him dead. It was a shock for us all to find him here running New Orleans"

Caroline was too deep in thought by the time Rebekah had stopped and Rebekah smirked because she was putting all the pieces together in her head, one by one and now…

Rebekah noticed the look of realisation on her face and her smirk grew bigger.

"You finally realize why Nik is a bit speechless about his impending fatherhood, yeah?" she asked sarcastically "Took you long enough" She winked.

"He thinks his own child will grow up and hate him like Mikael did or turn out like Marcel" Caroline breathed out.

"Why are we not going after Elijah and just sitting here like a bunch of ducks?" Bonnie snapped, slamming the grimoire down with a loud boom on the table in front of her while Kol lay on his bed and stared up at the ceiling.

"You don't even realise it do you?" Kol asked softly, sitting up and looking straight at her.

"Realize what?" she asked impatiently, her fiery green eyes staring right back at Kol.

Something that was new since her return from the dead, when she got frustrated or angry, her eyes would shine a brighter green.

He got up from the bed with a grunt, and stood up. He fixed his wrinkled clothing before walking to the edge of the bed and sitting down, closer to the Bennett Witch.

"A thousand years ago I accompanied my mother to Ayanna's home, your ancestor for some help. Esther wanted to find a way to stop the werewolves from transforming. Ayanna, as always, did what nature wanted. She told my mother that it was in their nature to turn. It couldn't be stopped but mother didn't listen. She tried to do it herself but she passed out. So she did something that was frowned upon. She stole some of Ayana's magic. It made her more powerful than Ayanna. She still tried but like Ayanna said, it couldn't be done if it would affect the balance of nature. My mother never returned that magic and now the entire Bennett line lived with a missing piece of themselves. Ayanna didn't find out about it until her death but it was too late to take it back" he paused a while as he saw an uncertain look in her eyes "I have enough magic to carry myself back from the dead, Bonnie. I told you that we would have been able to do it together because firstly, I would have either came back a warlock or an Original Vampire. By using your magic, I had enough power to make sure I was both. Another reason was to return the power back to you, as a thank you gift and I knew you would need it to take down Silas once and for all"

Bonnie was completely speechless and dumbfounded. First being that Kol used her. Second being, that she felt different. More herself. More in control. More stronger. She guessed she should be grateful and thankful that he returned the Bennett line's magic to her.

But she felt used. A feeling that she didn't like.

Her shocked and dumbfounded look on her face was transformed into the look of indifference. She didn't blink, she didn't flinch. She wanted to test this new found magic of hers. She wanted to know just how powerful she was.

All she did was think about what she wanted to do to him, channel her anger on him and his hands flew to his throat. He was gasping for air he didn't need. His eyes were jumping in his sockets. She knew he was in pain and she liked it.

"You USED me!" she snarled, her mind told the magic to lift him off the ground and it did. He floated in the air, he couldn't do a thing, he felt as if his magic was being held down.

Bonnie felt no pain, none at all. She felt as if she had the power of 1000 years on her. She felt as if she could take on Klaus, Silas, both of them. The power was addictive.

"Bon-" he choked, trying to get her to stop. He couldn't and him gasping for air was painful.

"Bonnie stop" said a voice from behind her.

She turned around and gasped as her hand flew to her mouth. Losing focus she had on Kol, he fell to the ground rather loudly, coughing and forcing air he didn't need into his lungs while Bonnie stared at the wall.

But Bonnie didn't see a wall in front of her, she saw…

"Grams?" her voice was hoarse and suddenly dry.

Marcel opened the door to Davina's room, anxious to see why she woke him in the middle of his nap for.

"Davina, what's wrong?" he groaned, looking around for her. He walked further in, passing the coffin that Elijah lay in and spotted Davina sketching furiously and painfully almost.

"Davina, are you okay?" he asked.

"No" she replied with a cry as she threw the black coal at the sketched paper filled with squiggles and no face as she looked around frantically as if she was going out of her mind.

"Davina what's wrong?"

"Someone's using magic but I can't...I can't seem to figure out who it is" she was panicking because it was different magic, she was able to detect it but it was making her frantic, her head was pounding like crazy "She's not from here, she's stronger than me Marcel"

He was shocked about this newfound information. He was so sure that Davina was the most powerful witch ever and now finding out that there were more powerful witches out there, he feared for Davina and his kingdom.

Sheila smiled sadly at Bonnie. She slowly walked towards Bonnie but knowing they couldn't touch, she didn't get too close.

"How can I see you?" she asked softly.

"You died Bonnie" she whispered back, with a smile "Remember Jeremy?" she paused "You both used the same spell you used on him"

"Oh god" she chuckled lightly, her eyes burning with unshed tears "I'm so glad I can see you"

"But I can't and I'm feeling crazy" Kol spoke, causing them both to look to him.

"How can he…" Bonnie asked, turning back around to her grams and pointing back to Kol behind her.

"Being on the other side is a push and pull" Bonnie cut her off.

"He needs to push in order for you to pull" she said in confirmation.

"That means…" Kol trailed off.

"You have to be thinking about her to see her" Bonnie said.

"I came to confirm his story and thank him. Because he returned the magic that was once lost to us, I don't have to wait for you to push so I can pull, I can appear to you on my own"

Bonnie let out a soft and faded laugh "I'm just so glad I can see you"

"Me too, now why are you angry with Kol when you were using him to get back to the land of the living?" Sheila asked, causing Bonnie to look down in shame because it was true. She was using Kol to become alive again.

"Help him get his brother back, take her power from her, she's abusing it and protect Caroline. She's more special than you think" Sheila said before disappearing.

Bonnie was confused, take whose powers? What was so special about Caroline?

Klaus reached his home from another one of Marcel's stressful rants about his sister's presence and how much it was throwing him off his game lately. Honestly, he was beginning to realize that Rebekah should not have returned at all.

But if she didn't, Caroline wouldn't be there.

So he supposed some good came out of her presence, but she was torturing him mentally at this point.

He loved his sister but she could be the most annoying woman on the planet when she wanted to be.

All his inner musings distracted him from the fact that the house was quiet.

Too damn quiet.

Especially considering Kol was back from the dead.

He searched the house and found no one, not a soul. Not even a heartbeat.

Where did everyone disappear to?

He called Kol.

"Hello Brother" Klaus could hear the smirk on his face.

"Kol where is everyone?" he asked.

Rebekah and Caroline aren't home?" he asked.

"Of course not, where's Hayley?" he asked.

"How should I know, I don't give a lick where she is"

Klaus shook his head and hung up.

He called Rebekah's phone.

"Rebekah where is Caroline?" he asked, not wanting to go through pleasantries.

"She's with me, why are you so grumpy?" she asked in an accusing tone.

He let out a heavy breath of relief, wondering where that came from and why he was so relieved she was safe.

Somewhat safe.

"Where are you?" he asked.

"Outskirts of The French Quarter having a chat. Someone had to get her out of that house before she tried to kill Hayley in her sleep. Look at the trouble I'm putting myself into for the brother I haven't even forgiven yet" she said angrily before hanging up the phone before Klaus could say anything.

He knew they hated each other but it really couldn't be that bad…

Right?

Kol entered the building. A place his family supposedly called home. He could see why, it was somewhat grand but poorly decorated, as much of a narcissist his brother was, he would have done a much better decorating job than Marcel did.

Ah the family name… At least the bloke left that.

"Kol where are we?" Bonnie asked, looking around, sensing the many vampires around her, watching her intently.

"We are where Marcel has my brother daggered and in a coffin...or a bed, or a box" he stated, before turning to her "I wouldn't mind them darling. You're far too powerful to even waste a sweat putting them down" he smirked.

Bonnie shook her head but a slow smirk blessed itself on her lips at his words, she did feel the power, knowing that she could end them all without moving, without blinking.

A guy, probably a vampire came up to them with a cautious and curious look on his face, funny hat on his head.

"Who are you?" the man asked and Kol smirked.

"I'm Kol Mikaelson, and I'm here to retrieve my recently daggered brother so if you'll excuse me…" Kol tried to pass by but the man stood his ground, defying Kol, who only smirked in return.

"Stupid choice, I'm just dying for blood" he smirked before plunging his hand into the man's chest.

"HEY!" a man shouted.

Kol looked up and saw Marcel panicking on the steps.

"You want Elijah, leave the nice man alone and follow me"

"Marcel, so heartwarming to see you, you look good" Kol stated with sarcasm before pulling his hand out of the man's chest, using the men's tee shirt to wipe his hands of the blood before signalling Bonnie to follow him.

As they went up the stairs, many many stairs, into some sort of attic, which couldn't really be considered an attic considering it was as big as a teenager's room.

Marcel opened the door and walked in, followed by Bonnie but Kol attempted to walk in the room when he bumped into an invisible barrier.

"Marcel, who lives here?" Kol asked "I need to undagger my brother and I can't do it from here" he smirked.

"Davina, come out sweetie" Marcel said sweetly.

A young girl, no more than 16 years of age appeared. She was wearing some white dress and was barefooted. She didn't hold any boldness to her, but a cocky attitude, which was abnormal for a girl as young as her.

"Davina, interesting name darling, care to invite me in?" he asked ever so sweetly. The girl looked at Marcel who nodded and the girl stole a glance at Bonnie before returning to Kol.

"Come in"

Kol smiled and entered the room, heading straight to the coffin and opening it, breathing a sigh of relief when he saw his brother's suited body in a deep slumber. He grabbed the dagger to pull it out when it went straight back down.

"I wouldn't do that if I was you" Davina said in a warning tone, causing Kol to smirk before standing.

"Davina darling, you might want to back down from this fight, something tells me it won't end well for you" Kol warned her.

"Weren't you dead?" Marcel asked, ignoring his warning.

"Magic has it's perks Marcel, but you would know that" he looked to Davina "You have a living breathing magic compass that points you to who's cooking up some magic"

"He's the cocky one, right?" Davina asked, turning to Marcel.

"He was undaggered once, but yes, he's the cocky one, but with reason, he loves killing for the sport of it"

"Right you are Marcellus" Kol smirked and turned to Davina "But getting back to the problem, I really am going to need you to back out of this one, we all don't want to cause any trouble"

"How are you alive?" Marcel asked, his voice soft as if really wondering.

"Let's just say, I'm a little more powerful than Nik" he smirked.

"You're a warlock!" Davina hissed, backing away slightly.

"Bingo, but for the sake of getting our facts straight. I am both a vampire and a warlock. A hybrid vampire if you will, just like my older brother except I'm more handsome than he is, obviously…" Kol told her as he cocked his head to the side with a shit-eating smirk on his lips.

"You can't be both" Davina spat at him.

"Shouldn't, won't, can't...I'm really bored of it all" he smirked. He turned to Bonnie and smirked, she was just standing there as if she was getting bored with the exchanged.

"Do you want to say something, darling?" Kol asked her as he licked his lips with a small smile on his lips.

Bonnie shook her head but turned to Marcel "Did you dagger Elijah and if so where did you get the dagger?" she asked.

"I found him daggered…" Kol cut him off.

"That's a fib" Kol gasped dramatically "Careful pinocchio, growing a nose in such a small space can't be good…"

Kol used his hand, turning his palm to face up as he used his powers to lift the dagger, only for it to go right back down again. This was starting to get on Kol's nerves.

"Davina darling, try not to anger an Original or I might be forced to show you why" he warned her.

Suddenly, the atmosphere grew windy and Kol knew the party was going to start… About damn time, he thought.

"Bonnie, this is your show now" Kol called, Bonnie walked towards Davina while Marcel made attempt to reach Bonnie but Kol picked Marcel off the floor with a wave of his hand and threw him into the nearest wall. His outstretched palm, held the supposed King of New Orleans in place.

"With all our idle chit chat, I forgot introductions, Davina, meet Bonnie, the strongest witch on the planet, stronger than you darling because there's the thing, no witch, not even my own mother, may she burn in hell, is stronger than a Bennett witch" he smiled.

Bonnie used her mind and immediately Davina was in the air, choking on something. Her hands flew to her throat in an attempt to relieve her throat to get the air into her lungs, but it was futile.

"You have been abusing the magic you have" Bonnie's voice boomed throughout the room. Bonnie closed her eyes and mumbled the spell she needed.

"Fes Matos Tribum, Exum Sue, Redem Supas Quo!" with that, everything calmed down around her, the room was in dead silence, all that was heard was the thud of a body hitting the floor and Marcel screaming "Nooooooooooooo" at the sight.

"She no longer has magic, she is nothing but a girl now" Bonnie looked down at the girl who was sobbing on the floor from the loss of her magic.

"You are the reason many witches are dead, I have your magic now, the only person capable or returning it to you, is me, not even my death can restore it" Bonnie shook her head before turning around, glancing at Marcel who was in tears and looking at the opened coffin. She bent down and pulled the dagger out without hesitation and stood then looked to Kol.

"How long?" she asked.

"A couple of minutes, he'll need some blood" Kol replied.

"Go get some, I'll watch him" Bonnie said, eyeing Marcel.

Kol let out a breath and Marcel fell to the ground, he immediately made his way to Davina who crawled into his arms and sobbed into his shoulder while Kol left to find some human blood.

"What did you do to me?" Davina whimpered at Bonnie.

"I took your magic from you. Because of you, many witches have died. You were abusing the powers that were given to you at birth. I did what I had to" Bonnie replied.

There was a loud gasp that filled the air. Bonnie turned around, Marcel cocked his head to the side and Davina stopped crying when they all saw Elijah finally awakening.

He sat up and looked around him, noticing the room of some sort. His throat was dry, extremely dry, his body ached everywhere and his eyes were burning with the light of day.

"Elijah" Bonnie called.

His eyes immediately went to the source of the voice, immediately recognizing the Bennett witch as she stood.

She was different though, her stance alone told him so. She seemed stronger... bolder... powerful.

"Ms. Bennett" he stated, his voice was hoarse and dry "What a surprise" he added.

"I'm not the surprise, the surprise is much more annoying" she smirked.

"Greetings from the dead, dear brother" Kol smirked, standing in the doorway.

Elijah's eyes near popped out of his head at how wide state, seeing his supposedly dead brother, alive and well.

"Kol" he breathed.

"You must be hungry, that dry feeling in your throat sounds like it's becoming annoying" he smirked.

Kol made his way over to Elijah who still sat in his coffin and gave him the cup in his hand filled with blood.

"Kol where did you get that?" Bonnie asked warily.

"I didn't kill anyone if that's what you're asking" He replied, annoyed.

"Good thing I didn't ask then" Bonnie retorted "Where'd you get it?"

"From a passer-by who's now on their way to having a more fun and carefree life" Kol replied cheerfully as he kept looking down at Elijah who had yet to voice his presence.

"Should I even ask how you're standing right in front of me, as cocky as ever?" Elijah asked, looking up to Kol.

"You could but it's a rather long story for another time" Kol informed in an easy tone.

Elijah gave him a nod and opened the bottom half of the coffin. He then stood and fixed his ruined suit before seeing Marcel cradling the girl in his arms while staring at the scene before him.

"Kol, tell no one where I was, I found you, I was shocked, you told me that everyone was looking for me, I told you I was on urgent business and now I've returned, mention nothing of Marcel or Davina's part in this and leave. Keep the dagger and make sure not even Niklaus knows where it is. I want to have a conversation with Marcellus and Davina" he was staring at them the whole time while speaking to Kol and Bonnie as they both glanced at each other, wondering why Elijah was asking of them what he was asking.

"Why?" Kol asked.

"Trust me"

Bonnie made an attempt to say something when Kol stopped her "Let's go phoenix, our work here is done"

Katherine let out a sigh of relief to find their lovey dovey conversation was over and they were parting ways, a couple of hours ago she got all the information she needed and already had her men waiting to the places she sent them to. Her newly found information might actually grant her the freedom that was taken from her 500 years ago and maybe Elijah's heart.

Tyler left first, followed by Hayley, not wanting to seem like they knew each other at all and went their separate ways.

Katherine followed Tyler first. He may have been a hybrid but he was the easier target. Being a doppelganger and an Elena look-alike did have its perks.

She put on her best innocent look, following him in the crowd of people before calling him out.

"Tyler!" she called, trying to make her way to him.

He turned around and spotted Elena. He stopped and looked both ways before walking back to her.

Once they were in front of each other, he was in panic mode, Elena was not supposed to see him but if she was here in New Orleans, looking for him it meant that something was wrong with Caroline.

"Elena, why are you here in New Orleans?" he asked "Is something wrong?"

"We can't talk here…" she trailed off and grabbed his hand, she walked him down the street into an alley she spotted on her way there where she then released his hand.

"It's Caroline, Ty. She really needs you…" she was cut off as Tyler noticed her bracelet.

"You're Katherine" he said in realisation.

"Here I was hoping I'd get you to come nicely" her tone changed from the sweet innocent Elena to a much deadlier tone.

He was ready to pounce on her when he felt hands cup his face from behind and twist his neck then everything went blank.

"Put him in the trunk, did you get the girl?" she asked.

"Yes, she's with Alex in the car" the man replied, picking up Tyler's body and throwing him over his shoulder.

"Perfect"

Elijah found Sophie in the bar where she worked. He walked in calmly, noting the vampires and remaining cautious at all times. He spotted her mixing something at a table.

"Ms. Deveraux" he smirked.

She turned around and the utensils in her hands fell to the ground at the sight of Elijah standing in front of her.

"What the hell happened to you, you just disappeared" she asked, picking up the utensils she dropped on the floor.

"Yes well I had urgent matters to take care off" he replied vaguely "I would like to have a word"

She put the utensils down and signalled for him to come forward but he didn't move.

"I meant a more private conversation" he corrected himself.

She sighed in defeat, knowing exactly what he meant.

They ended up at the cemetery, in the one place they could speak freely without being overheard.

"What updates you have for me regarding the child?" he asks.

"Well, either he got another girl pregnant or she's having twins" she replied.

He paused, turned his head to meet hers and made a face "Are you sure?"

"Katie realised that whatever Marcel has that senses our magic only senses the magic on these grounds, not spiritual magic, she did a spell that told us this using said magic and she's still alive"

Elijah nodded, already knowing this much, just how accurate the spirits were, knowing far more than she thought. He thought better of telling her what happened to said person who once would have been able to detect their magic, not wanting them to end Hayley's life, or set sites on Caroline's.

"Hey, does Klaus...have feelings for Hayley?" Sophie asked hesitantly.

Elijah snapped out of his thoughts and looked at Sophie with a cold look, because the truth was much more colder.

"Niklaus does not even value her life or the children she holds inside her. The only reason she must be still alive is because they know I will never forgive them if something should happen to her and that's it. They are not friends, not lovers and are far worse than enemies. Niklaus will forever see Hayley as the drunken mistake he used to relieve his frustration."

Elijah opened the doors to his home and sighed in relief, he needed a shower, a change of clothing some sort of comfort from the day he's had.

He just hoped the information he told Marcel would end up the way he wanted it to and not a completely different way. He gave him a choice, family or power.

If he chose family then his true whereabouts would remain unsaid. If he chose power then he must be taken down.

"Kol, did you manage to find…" Klaus paused as he saw none other than the very brother he was just about to ask of "Elijah".

"Hello Niklaus" Elijah greeted "Where's everyone?" he asked.

"Caroline and Rebekah are out of town chit chatting, Kol and Bonnie went in search for you and Hayley's disappeared since the wee hours of this morning, where have you been all this time?" he asked.

"I had some incredibly urgent business to take care off in Europe, private matters" he replied distantly as he walked past Klaus to head for the stairs.

"Does this urgent business have anything to do with our favorite doppelganger?" Klaus asked, a smirk evident in his tone.

"No, Niklaus, I haven't been with Katerina" he replied with an annoyed sigh before flashing up the stairs and into his room.

Finally left alone and to his devices, he reached for his phone in his shirt jacket and listened to the many voicemails from his siblings and Katerina.

Some threats, little worry, annoying voicemail from Kol, one worried voicemail from Hayley. It seemed a lot of people did miss his presence.

"Kol what is it that you couldn't wait until I got out of the shower?" Klaus asked in an irritated tone, while drying his hair with one towel and the other was wrapped around his waist.

"Hello to you too brother" Kol said cheerfully "You will never guess what Bonnie and I found coming into New Orleans with fantastic news?"

"Kol" Klaus sighed "Get on with it"

"Get dressed, we have guests and make sure everyone's present for this" he informed him, "I'm pulling up at the house now and make sure Elijah is with you. He's the only one of us that can control this doppelganger" he then hung up.

That was strange, yes even for Kol of all people. How did he, who's been dead for months and daggered most of the time to find Katerina who he has been hunting for 500 years?

He quickly got dressed and went to call everyone out. He went to Hayley's room to find it empty, he would have to speak to Sophie later about this girl. He then went to Elijah's, then Rebekah's who then told him that she would bring Caroline with her too. He wanted to call her himself but thought better of it. Not wanting to be cornered like a caged beast.

He made his way down the staircase to see Kol waltz in with Katerina being dragged, Hayley next to her, followed by Bonnie behind. They left the door open so he assumed there was more company. He was furious enough to find Hayley with them but Katerina in his home?

"Katerina, how nice to see you, I wanted give my thanks for the message you sent me…" he trailed off in a calm tone.

"Lovely to see you too, do you both mind, I'd like to tell the good news since I sat through hours of it" Katherine snapped, looking at them both behind her.

"She claims to come bearing gifts, gift away" Kol encouraged.

"Well" Klaus sighed heavily, finally reaching the bottom "Be quick about it"

She scoffed and rolled her eyes before looking out the door "Bring him in" she ordered.

While everyone else came down the stairs, two men came in carrying an unconscious Tyler with them.

Hayley gasped at the sight, wondering what happened to him while Caroline's eyes widened and ran down the extra stairs quickly to reach to his aid.
"Bitch, what the hell did you do to him?" Caroline snarled, looking up at Katherine.

"Hello to you too Blondie, I snapped his neck, no need to get dramatic" she groaned "Do you really know why Tyler didn't return, even after Klaus gave him his freedom like that but even after 500 years of torture its still not enough?" she asked with a sigh of irritation.

"I- she hesitated.

"I thought so" Katherine said in disappointment.

In all truth and honesty, she doesn't know why he broke up with her. For all she knew he was lying about the pack that was more important to him. Did he know she was pregnant? Did he know she was pregnant with Klaus's child?

"Tick Tock Katerina" Klaus warned her.

"These two, thing one" she said pointing to the ground where Tyler lay "Thing two" she said pointing to Hayley "Were having a private meeting this morning on the outskirts of The French Quarter about what you've all been up to since you moved here" she smirked at Hayley's shameful look on her face.

"Is that all?" Klaus asked impatiently, giving Hayley his best 'I'm going to kill you' look.

"Oh no and you're going to love this one, she made a deal with some Sophie chick to use her as leverage in exchange for information and possibly a location of her long lost family but that's not even the best part. From the moment you two met in New Orleans when I sent that vampire to kill her was a set up. She made that deal with some Jane Anne witch months ago. She was to ask for your safety, come into your home, find out your weakness and lay with you till she got knocked up but it didn't work and she knew she would not have gotten another chance so she did the next best thing and called…" Caroline cut her off.

"Tyler" she breathed, looking down at the man she once loved.

"Right. Which means she got pregnant and thought she was dealing with Jane Anne but came to find out that she died and she was left to deal with Sophie, who knew nothing of this plan" she smirked "It's genius really" she added.

"What are you saying" Caroline's voice was hoarse and dry as tears upon tears fell from her eyes.

"I'm saying sweetheart that the child she carries is a hybrid but not Klaus's hybrid"

Sighs*

Well, I do apologize for fooling you in the previous chapter into thinking that Hayley's child is Klaus's. Her child will play a bigger part in this chapter, in the coming chapters you'll see.

Well Elijah's back. At the exact same time the news comes out. Imagine Elijah made her family on false pretenses and lies...something like that can't be forgivable...I feel for, I really do...(sarcasm)

Reviews, I really really really wanna know what you guys think...
