"What do you think they're talking about in there?" Kol wonders aloud.

"Nik and Elijah probably." His sister answers, not bothering to look up from her phone. Klaus chooses that moment to walk into the house.

"What did I miss?" He asks, moving to where his siblings are in a few seconds.

"We were just talking about how that baby vampire is probably talking to the doppelganger about you." Rebekah says and his younger siblings both catch the flicker of hope in his eyes.


"Want to make a wager, Bekah?" Kol asks, a grin appearing on his face. His sister puts down her phone to look at him. She moves her hair, back to the blonde she was born with. She's already gotten her revenge on Kol, they're even now.

"Perhaps." She answers. Kol's grin widens, he knows she's already accepted.

"I'll be you my house in France that Caroline doesn't spends time with Nik, alone, within twelve hours of getting out of the doppelganger's ahead. Sleeping doesn't count." He proposes. She grins.

"Deal. I'll put that house to good use, I promise." She says and they both catch the hybrid tense. He wants his sister to be right. So does she. She's always liked the little manor house in the French countryside.


Bloodstains came out eventually. She'd hire someone to do it when the house was hers.
