Old Witch's Plantation
First Floor
Night

It has been a few hours since Bonnie has been reading through a bunch of old grimoires with Elijah's help. She did think about calling Jeremy for help, but she doesn't want to drag him into this supernatural problem. The Bennett witch decided to leave him out of it and focus on searching for any type of spell.

The tiny witch, who is currently sitting on the ground with grimoires surrounding her, is all open. She lifted her olive-green orbs to Elijah who is pacing back and forth with a grimoire in his hands. Bonnie was surprised that dead witches allow Elijah to be inside this house.

She briefly recalled a few hours ago when the Original vampire and her stepped into this old witch's house. Elijah asked for permission with the most politeness and respect to the dead witches. And it worked.

The dead witches allowed the ancient vampire into their home.

However, they refuse to let anyone except Bonnie go down to the basement. So, the Bennett witch had to take some candles and used them for illumination since it was getting dark in the old house.

Bonnie silently wishes she had called her vampire best friend for her help earlier today. The petite witch paused, quickly grabbed her phone from her bag that was next to her, and check the time. It's nearly close to full moon time. "Do you think Caroline will make it here if I ask for her help?" she questioned, with slight hope.

"It will be too late." Elijah gently said, while flipping the pages of the grimoire.

Bonnie's shoulders slumped, dropping her phone in her bag with disappointment. "So, just to be clear—are we going to kill Klaus with my powers?" she asked while returning to searching through the grimoire for a spell.

The Original vampire frown deeply, contemplative. He thought about his brother who is haunting around the blonde-haired beauty vampire. "…I need a truth from him." he decided to tell the witch the truth.

"What do you mean?" the petite witch lifted her head with confused furrowed eyebrows at him. Elijah closed his eyes with a sigh. "What truth?"

Elijah opens his eyes and carefully closed the grimoire. "Klaus told me that he sends all of our siblings at the bottom in the middle of the ocean. I believe I truly did lost them." Bonnie's eyes widen in horrify and appalled. "However, I discovered not too long ago that it's a possibility Klaus might be lying to me. The only way I can get the truth out of him was when he is weak and believed that I am going to kill him."

"But you won't." Bonnie stated, overwhelmed and unsure.

The Original vampire shifted his blank eyes at Bonnie. "Family is everything to me, Miss Bennett. If Klaus tells me the truth of what happened to my siblings—" he cut himself off, thinking about his elder brother who is trapped for nine hundred years. His young brother is in the coffin, stuck for a century yet his soul is around Miss Forbes. And his baby sister who is daggered for decades. "—I cannot lose them." He wants his family to be whole and together.

Bonnie bit her lips, pondering. She could see how Elijah truly misses his siblings. Then an idea popped into her mind. "If you want… I can do a locator spell for you?" she offered, almost shyly.

Elijah darts his surprised eyes at the tiny witch. "You would do that?" Bonnie nodded her head, timidly. "…thank you for the offer, Miss Bennett. Unfortunately, it would not work since Klaus had them anti-locate spell."

"Oh." The Bennett witch doesn't know what else to say. Then she glanced down, playing with the edge of the page from the grimoire carefully. "…I don't want Klaus to ruin us. I don't him to kill Elena, but I understand that we have no choice which is why we're looking for a spell…" she trails off, thinking deeply. "…if Klaus told you the truth that your siblings are alive and safe…"

The Original vampire steps forward toward Bonnie silently. "Then I won't kill him." He stated as he stops at a respectful distance from Bonnie. He bends down, and carefully placed the grimoire down on the stack of the grimoires.

Bonnie's breath hitches, uncertain and warily. "So you'll betray us." She doesn't know why she feels hurt by Elijah who is willing to betray them.

"No." the Bennett witch frowned perplexedly as she stared at the Original vampire suspiciously. "I won't betray you or Miss Forbes. Miss Gilbert will return alive as a human. I might betray them—the Salvatore since they are the ones who want Klaus to die." Elijah admitted, solemnly. "Will you be willing to forgive me if I decide not to kill Klaus once I get the truth about my siblings being alive?"

The tiny witch examined the Original vampire's face with calculating sparks in her olive-green orbs, brighten by the flames from candles.

Elijah waits patiently for her answer as he remains still in front of her.

Forbes' Residence
Caroline's Bedroom
Meanwhile…

"Kol?" Caroline whispered, worried. She is waiting for her ghost friend to answer her as she is anxiously nervous. Her hands were placed on her jeans, rubbing them up and down, edgy.

The prince Original released a sigh from his lips and reach to tap her hand. "Paper. Pen. Alphabet." He reiterated a few times until his vampire got his message.

The blonde-haired beauty quickly moved away from her bed to the desk, grabbed a notebook and a pen then return to her bed. She opens a new page randomly, uncapped the pen, and write down the alphabet in order. "Okay…" Caroline is used to this while Kol sat across from her on the bed.

She points at the first letter, second letter, third letter… and so on until she reached the thirteenth letter.

Tap.

"M."

Tap at the twenty-sixth letter.

"Y."

Tap at the twentieth letter.

"S."

Tap at the fifteenth letter.

"O."

Tap at the eighteenth letter.

"U."

Tap at the twelfth letter.

"L."

Caroline frowned puzzling over the two words that she wrote down on the bottom of the page. "My soul?" she muttered, wondering what could be about Kol's soul. The blonde-haired beauty pointed at the first letter, repeating the process again until the ninth letter.

Tap.

"I."

Tap at the twentieth letter.

"S."

Tap at the second letter.

"B."

Tap at the fifteenth letter.

"O."

Tap at the eighteenth letter.

"U."

Tap at the fourteenth letter.

"N."

Tap at the fourth letter.

"D."

Caroline paused for a moment while re-reading the words. "My soul is bound…" she mumble, worried for Kol. She has a feeling there's a bit more, so she pointed at the alphabet once again.

Tap at the twenty-first letter.

"T."

Tap at the fifteenth letter.

"O."

Tap at the twenty-sixth letter.

"Y."

Tap at the fifteenth letter.

"O."

Tap at the twenty-second letter.

"U."

Tap at the nineteenth letter.

"R."

Tap at the twentieth letter.

"S."

After that Kol gently brushes feather-like touches on Caroline's cheek with a blank face. Silently confirm that he's done and retreat his hand from her. He carefully watches her reaction.

The blonde-haired beauty just stares at the words on the paper.

My soul is bound to yours

A shuddering exhaled released from her lips while almost obsessively re-reading the sentence on the paper. Her ghost friend, the mischief vampire, the dangerous Original—

His soul is bound to her soul.

Caroline doesn't know what to think as she is trying to process the overwhelming information. This entire time, Kol has been with her was all because their souls are somehow bound to each other. She thought about the information she knew. Kol is an Original. He's a ghost. A curse.

Her spine straightens up with realization. Are his curse means his soul is bound to hers?

"Kol… when you said that you are curse… does that mean your soul is bound to mine? That is your curse?" she questioned, anxious and apprehensive.

The transparent Original gently taps his vampire's hand while eyeing her warily. Inside of him, he is extremely nervous and edgy. He doesn't want to lose her. He can't lose her.

She is his light in his cold dark world.

Old Witch's Plantation
Outdoor
Meanwhile…

"What?" Bonnie stared at Stefan in incredulity shocked as she hugged herself tightly with her jacket wrapped around her, attempting to warm up in the cold night. The chilling breeze plays with her hair in the air. Her olive-green orbs stared at the young Salvatore with astonishment. "…why did he take Jenna?"

Stefan shrugs his shoulder, unsure which Bonnie was not satisfied. She shifted her puzzling gaze to the Original vampire with hope for any answer. Elijah saw her silent questioning face. "A punishment for meddling." He voiced out, monotonously.

"Damon told me that Tyler and Caroline are supposed to be sacrificed but he rescued them before Klaus takes them." Stefan explained, grimly.

Bonnie froze when she heard her best friend's name. Her vampire best friend nearly got sacrificed and the Bennett witch wasn't there to protect Caroline. Caroline is supposed to be safe and away from anything that could put her in danger. The tiny witch feels so guilty. She should've stayed by Caroline's side and protected her.

However, she is torn because Elena is in danger and needs her help. How is she going to protect everyone if she can't figure out how to protect both of her best friends?

Her magic is supposed to help her. She has a hundred dead witches' power dancing inside of her. And yet, she is stuck and practically useless.

Bonnie wants to stop Klaus. She wants to kill him before Elena's aunt will be sacrificed. However, her gaze moved to poker-face Elijah. She thought about their talk not too long ago. How Elijah possibly won't kill Klaus if his siblings are still alive and safe. That he might betray the Salvatore brothers.

However, Elijah won't betray her.

"…Jenna is in Elena's loves one on the list." Bonnie whispered, almost emotionlessly.

The Original vampire stared at her blankly. "And I will carry that guilt with me for the rest of my life." He stated. Bonnie silently wondered how much guilt he has to carry in his life.

The tiny witch wants to be snappy and judgy at the Original vampire but she didn't. Because he was with her. Elijah is helping her search for a spell to bring Elena back alive as a human, not as a vampire. Almost immediately, she silently blames Damon Salvatore. If only Damon didn't force-feed Elena with his blood.

Elena would have drunk the elixir. Elijah would have watched over Jenna and others to make sure none of them are harmed. Bonnie would have Caroline with her, protect her and watch over her.

However, that won't happen.

This is her harsh reality, and she couldn't stand the thought that Elena and Jeremy will lose another family member. It hasn't even been a year. And they went through so much in their lives.

"We can't let Jenna die." Bonnie declared with a solemn frown. "They need her."

Stefan steps forward with a grave face. "They won't kill her because I'm going to offer another vampire." The tiny witch and the Original vampire stare at him interested and confused. "One that he'll want more. Me." The young Salvatore announced.

Bonnie's eyes widen in surprise and snap her eyes at Elijah who has a calculating glint in his eyes while staring at Stefan. Then his gaze shifted to hers with contemplative.

The Bennett witch doesn't know what to think about this situation.

Things just got really intense.

.

Forbes' Residence
Caroline's Bedroom
Meanwhile…

Caroline doesn't know what to think about this. For months, Kol became one of her best friends. A transparent Original who is always there for her. Comfort her. Listen to her. Helps her. Whenever she is in trouble, he's there for her. Whenever she needs her emotional support, Kol is there.

She has friends, friends who she truly cares about and loves. Who accepted her for her. Who cares for her and loves her as well. Caroline will do anything to make sure her friends are safe and happy. Because they are important to her.

Just as Kol is important to her as well. He's there for her every step of her way. She doesn't know how long he's been with her since she is human but knew enough that he always stays close to her ever since she is aware of his presence.

She briefly recalled how she feels so comfortable and content whenever Kol is with her. When he responds to her. Went along with her. Listen to her babble things. Getting to know each other. Always teases him with words and his cold touch playfully poking her in silly revenge.

Caroline doesn't feel upset.

In fact, she feels neutral.

Not happy but not unhappy.

She thought about how Kol is one of the Original vampires. A thousand-year-old first ever vampire. He could've not cared about her. He could've ignored her. Not communicate with her. Not helping her. He could have just pretended that she doesn't exist to him.

Deep down, she is glad that he cares enough to protect her. That he attempts to communicate with her and inform her of his presence. She just knew that he has something good. True that Originals are monsters, but she learns things about Kol that no one knows.

Kol has a heart.

After all, if he's a heartless monster… he wouldn't have feelings for her.

'Monsters are capable to have feelings.' The blonde-haired beauty mused, content as a beautiful smile appeared on her face. Her blue-green orbs shine lovely which caught Kol's immediate attention. "…we'll figure it out together." Caroline said, resolved that she will find a way to free Kol from being cursed and return to his body.

Kol has been terrified the entire time when his vampire has been emotionless for a while with tension in the room. When he heard her words spoken, his undead heart reluctant lit up with cautious hope. "You still want to help me, darling?" he extends his hand toward Caroline, feather-like brushes against her jawline with the back of his fingers.

The blonde-haired beauty shivers from the icy-cold on her jawline. "Yes. I want to help you, Kol. You are important to me. We will figure out how you can be free from being bound to my soul. You deserve to be undaggered and be in your real form." She promised with a determined glint in her blue-green eyes.

She doesn't know how nor why his soul is bound to hers, but she will make sure Kol is free. After all, she hates the thought of having her ghost friend stuck as a cursed transparent ghost with no free will.

Kol deserves to be free.

The prince Original stares at her with wonderstruck, awed, adoration, and hopeful.

Once again, Caroline did something impossible.

She made his undead heart skip a beat again.

Old Witch's Plantation
Inside — First Floor
Moment Later…

The Bennett witch rubs her wary and worried face with her palms while pacing back and forth. Ignore the sounds of creaking and groaning of the floorboards underneath her shoes. She is really stressful and intense. She did the locator spell a while ago and learned that Elena is at Steven's Quarry. Stefan left after that. There is so much has been going on at this moment and all she wants is to go home, curl under her blanket and sleep forever.

Unfortunately, they needed her.

While she is too busying stressing herself out, Elijah has been quietly searching something through the grimoire with his usual quick vamp-speed. Until he paused on a certain page. "Miss Bennett." Bonnie just hummed distractedly in response. "I believe I have found a resuscitative spell."

"Wait what." Bonnie halted and whirled around with wide hopeful eyes. The Original vampire step forward, closer to the tiny witch, and handed her the old grimoire book. Bonnie grabbed it not unkindly, turn it around, and read over the page. "This is…" she was surprised to see an old spell in a different grimoire that belongs to a different dead witch.

Elijah lifted his gaze at the Bennett witch thoughtfully. "It had said this witch was an old friend with Emily Bennett. They both exchanged spells which is not uncommon among witches and warlocks." He briefly explained, calmly.

"Life force… restoring a person to life…" Bonnie mumbled as she read carefully. "…as long as the soul remains intact." She lifted her gaze to the Original with pondering. "This is promising but it says that it has to be blood-related…" she can't think of using Jeremy's life force to give away Elena's life. He just turned sixteen-year-old recently, and there is so much in his life he has yet to experience.

Plus, she knew for a fact that Elena would never want her little brother to die for her.

Suddenly, Elijah slightly tilted his head. "We have company." He informed the petite witch, not unkindly. Bonnie turned her gaze to her side and blink in surprise when three familiar figures step inside the old building.

"What are you all doing here?" the tiny witch didn't expect to see Alaric, John, and Jeremy here. She could understand Alaric and John, but why is her boyfriend here? Shouldn't he be at home and stay safe?

"We're here for Elena." Alaric answered as his hands curled into tight fists. "I got a phone call from Stefan. About Jenna." He glances at Jeremy who looks scared and distressed.

Bonnie's heart sank with sadness when she saw Jeremy's broken expression. His sister will be sacrificed, and his aunt is going to die. On the same night. She really wants to help and bring his sister back alive.

Even if it means Elena will return as a vampire, then at least she will still be alive for Jeremy's sake.

John steps forward with a determined glint in his eyes. "I need a favor." He asked, politely to Bonnie who pushed the open grimoire to her chest with cautious curiosity. Unaware that Elijah adjusted his posture in subtly defense, just in case.

"I remembered something I've read from my ancestor's journal years ago. Johnathan Gilbert, he journaled the story of a mother who called on Emily's services. The woman's baby was sick; dying. Emily cast a spell that would bind the woman's life force with her child…" he trails off as his eyes soften when he thought about his daughter. "…the child died, but the mother's life force flowed through her, restoring her to life."

Bonnie eyed Elena's biological father for a moment. "Are you saying, you volunteer? You want to restore her back to life?" she wonders if Elena realizes just how much love John has for her, that he's willing to exchange his life for her.

"Yes. I refuse to let Elena become the thing I've spent my life protecting her against. I'm putting my faith in this spell." John's eyes started to tear. "I know I wasn't the best father in the world. Hell, I know I'm an asshole and I'm everyone's least favorite." Alaric stared at the ground blankly while Jeremy gritted his teeth and looked away.

Elijah stared at the human man contemplatively while Bonnie just listened to John quietly. "But that's only because I wanted to protect her. I want her to live her human life, to always be free and happy without fear. Always smile and laugh. Find love, have a family, grow old and die peacefully. I want her to live a good life. So… please…" John's breath hitches for a bit. "…please let me save my daughter." He whispered, pleading.

It feels like hours in silence when in reality it's only for a heartbeat or two moments then Bonnie nodded her head. "Okay." She respects John's decision.

John's eyes lit up with relief and gratitude.

"What's going on?" all heads turned to Damon who step inside with a suspicious frown, as he startled them with his sudden presence. Except Elijah who leaned his shoulder against the wall, nonchalantly yet there was a hint of alert in his eyes. "Why aren't we prepared to kill Klaus?" the older Salvatore scanned around to search for a certain person but none. "And where's Stefan?"

Alaric sighed, knowing he has to inform Damon about Stefan's choice to sacrifice himself for Jenna. "Stefan called me earlier that he is willing to sacrifice himself for Jenna's spot."

"He did what?!" Damon snapped in disbelief. "What the hell while I was gone for just a few hours?!" he demanded for the explanation, mixed of frustrated, worried, and angry.

.

.

.

Moments Later…

After Damon threw his short tantrum about his idiotic self-heroic brother. And learned that John is willing to give his life for Elena. The older Salvatore was skeptical, but John has faith in Emily's spell.

The petite witch started to prepare the spell on the first floor with a bunch of candles lit up everywhere. Since the dead witches refuse to let anyone in the basement. Not even the humans.

Bonnie has her hands on either side of John's head as she is chanting a spell. John is currently sitting on the ground, with his eyes close without any hint of fighting against the witch.

Jeremy, Alaric, and Elijah stand by, watching quietly.

Damon stood further away, impatiently. He lifted his hand, snapping his fingers insolently. "Come on, Bonnie, we got a hybrid to kill." He said, rushing the tiny witch with her spell.

The young Gilbert looks at Damon, signaling with his hand for the older Salvatore to be tolerant of the situation. While Elijah frowns disapproval at Damon's impolite and disrespectful behavior toward the Bennett witch. Alaric shakes his head at Damon with a stern glare.

After a moment, Bonnie's chanting slows down and stops. The candles flare for a bit then calms down in the room. She opens her eyes and sighs softly with empathic sadness in her eyes. "It's done." She can't reverse the spell nor stop.

It's a beautiful yet sad spell for a family member who is willing to give up their life force for another to restore back in life.

John opens his eyes, content with a small smile appearing on his face.

"That's it?" Damon raises his eyebrow at the petite witch who nodded in response. "Let's go." He quickly left without waiting for anyone to follow.

Bonnie rolled her eyes but obliged when she noticed that Elijah is waiting for her. She walks past John to reach the Original vampire but is halted when she realizes her boyfriend is following her. "Whoa, wait…" she gently touches Jeremy's arm. "What are you doing?"

"I'm coming. I need to be there. I need to make sure you guys are okay." Jeremy answered, determined.

The Bennett witch's eyes soften with understanding. "And who's going to make sure you're okay?" she doesn't want anything terrible to happen to Jeremy.

"I've got my own ring." The young Gilbert lifted his ring with a serious face. "Look, I'm not taking no for an answer." He refuses to be left behind. Jeremy won't deny but he was silently hurt that Bonnie didn't call for him earlier for help to search for a spell through the grimoires. He wants to be helpful and useful to his girlfriend.

Bonnie stares at him, then reached up to place her lips against his. Alaric and John exchange awkward glances while Elijah narrowed his eyes when he felt weak magic coming from a petite witch. When Bonnie breaks the kiss, Jeremy stares at her with a pleasant surprise with a smile until changed to a confused frown.

Before the young Gilbert knew it, he stumbles back and starts to fall. However, John and Alaric quickly catch Jeremy and leads him down to the ground gently. Bonnie smiles with an apologetic glint in her olive-green orbs.

"I'll stay with him." John makes sure to hold his nephew upright as he nods at them. "Go."

Bonnie turned around, and step forward until she reaches Elijah who almost immediately placed his hand on the small of her back. Guide her toward the exit of the doors while Alaric stood up and follows them from behind.

"I got the weapons in the car." The vampire hunter informed them, gravely.

The Original vampire commented, nonchalantly. "Bonnie's the only one we need."

When Bonnie and Elijah walked out of the doorway outside of the old witch's house. Alaric hurried his pace up; however, he nearly stumbled when he hit the invisible barrier. The vampire hunter's eyebrows furrowed with bewilderment and astonishment. He tries to get through, but he was blocked, he can't leave the house.

John noticed it right away as he watches Alaric place his hands on the edge of the doorway. "Bonnie! What is this?" he questioned, confused.

Elijah and Bonnie stopped while Damon watches in the distance quietly, the Bennett witch turned around with a solemn face. "It's for the best."

"I can't stay here with Jenna out there!" Alaric protests loudly. Bonnie just shakes her head apologetically while Elijah stares at the vampire hunter blankly. "You can't do this! Damon?"

The older Salvatore half-shrug. "Sorry, buddy. She's right."

Damon starts walking away while Bonnie and Elijah gave a last glance at the vampire hunter and then stride down the path through the woods.

"No!" Alaric shouted angrily and frustrated. "You can't do this! Bonnie! Bonnie!" the petite witch didn't listen to him until they are further away, and he hits the doorframe aggressively. "Damn it!"

.

Quarry
Bit Later…

Damon nods at Bonnie and Elijah with a grave face, vamp-speed ahead into the wood, hiding and waiting for the signal.

The Original vampire and the Bennett witch exchange glances for a brief moment. Elijah tilted his head, listening to the occurs down at the bottom of the quarry. "…he got Miss Gilbert." He barely voiced out, but loud enough for Bonnie to hear.

"Is she…" Bonnie's heart beats rapidly, fearing for her best friend. She knew that Elena is being sacrificed right now this moment. She didn't storm her way down the path yet because she knew that Elena will be restored later.

Elijah's eyes darken for a bit. "The ritual… is close to complete." He lifted his gaze upward at the full moon, somberly. He could hear how his brother is shouting with victory. "Ready?" he lowered his gaze to Bonnie.

"Yes." The Bennett witch's eyes darken with courage and bravery. Elijah tips his head slightly then vamp-speed away, not wanting to get in the tiny witch's way.

Bonnie stared down at the path, inhaled then exhale as she willingly allows a hundred dead witches' powers to flow out of her. The talisman bracelet that wrapped around her wrist, shimmered. Foreign words spilled out from her lips. "Phasmatos Infero Eseri Gratas, Disasustos Vom, Mas Pro Je Ta Sue Te. Victamas Veras." She gracefully steps forward, the rows of empty firepits with rocks around suddenly lit up with powerful strong flames.

When her eyes met Klaus in the distance. Instantly she used a silent spell to throw him through the air which startled him in shock. The flames in the bowl reignite, surprise the witch, and turned her head to Bonnie coming down the hillside.

The Bennett witch continues chanting a spell as her eyes shine like emerald gemstone, reflected by the flames everywhere. The sound of thunder was heard from the distance as grey clouds suddenly appeared in the dark sky. The witch lifted her hand to stop Bonnie, however, Damon appeared behind her, twisted the witch's neck and she fell lifelessly to the ground.

"Phasmatos Tribum, Niha Sue Exilum, Disasustos Vom, Mas Pro Je Ta Sue Te. Levam, Mina Sue Te, Disasustos Vom, Mas Pro Je Ta Sue Te." Bonnie continued chanting the spell with confidence. The wind joined in the unnatural storm of the weather. Stefan watches them while grimacing in pain with the broken stake in his back and saw his brother pick Elena up bridal style in his arms and vamp-speed away.

Klaus snarled furiously at the witch, not expecting her to be powerful to take him down so easily. "I will kill you!" he roared, viciously.

Bonnie ignores his violent promises and threatening words at her as she continues chanting her spell. Klaus' body contorts into painful shapes as he screams in agony.

Damon went to Stefan's side, bend down, and rips the remainder of the stake out of his brother's back. Stefan grunts in pain and he grabs Stefan's shoulder. "Wait! Wh-where's Elena?!" he asked, worried and scared.

"She's somewhere far away from here. I will take her to the house, but I need you to come with me." Damon muttered, helping Stefan to sit up. "Judgy and Suit got this. Come on." Stefan wants to protest but his wound is not healing quickly enough. He needs blood as soon as possible.

The Salvatore brothers left the quarry along with Elena's body. Trusting Bonnie and Elijah to kill Klaus.

Back to Bonnie as she slowly stops chanting a spell yet uses her power on Klaus. The Original Hybrid continue screaming in pain, laying against the rocks as he kept rolling around. From the corner of her eyes, she saw Elijah calmly approach Klaus with his hands in his pockets.

"Elijah?" Klaus muttered, while his body jolt in agony.

The Noble Original tip his head. "Hello, brother." He greeted him, politely.

Suddenly, Elijah punches his arm into Klaus' chest and grabbed a hold of his heart as his dark eyes ominously changed to crimson-red. "Tell me the truth, Niklaus… Finn, Rebekah, and Kol… their bodies, are they truly buried and lost in the sea?" Klaus released a groan and whimpered in terrible agony in response. "Answer me!" Elijah snapped as he twists Klaus' heart coldly.

"No! I didn't bury them at sea!" Klaus proclaimed loudly. "Their bodies are safe!"

The Original vampire stopped yet his hand still held his brother's heart. His eyes narrowed suspiciously. "Give me your word, brother. You will take me to them." He needs to see his siblings with his own eyes.

"I give you my word… brother." Klaus promised with genuine eyes while his body still shook with pain.

Elijah stares at his brother, then slowly shifted his crimson orbs to Bonnie who stares at them expressionlessly. They made eye contact for a heartbeat moment.

A whisper speaks through Bonnie's mind from Elijah's words earlier.

"Will you be willing to forgive me if I decide not to kill Klaus once I get the truth about my siblings being alive?"

Bonnie knew what her answer is going to be.

"Go."

Elijah's crimson-red orbs fade to his normal dark brown while staring at her with wonder and gratitude for a moment. Bonnie gently tilted her head in the direction of the woods, silently encouraging him to leave with Klaus. The Noble Original instantly grabbed his brother and vamp-speed somewhere far away into the woods. Leaving Bonnie all alone in the quarry.

Her bright glistening emerald-like eyes flare magically. Flames everywhere are slowly extinguished. Grey clouds fade away to reveal a milky full moon. Winds became still. Silence appeared.

'The Salvatore brothers are going to be pissed.' She mused, slowly controlling her powers to relax.

Forbes Residence
Caroline's Bedroom
Later…

The blonde-haired beauty already changed out of her attire to her pajamas—pale light-purple tank top and grey sweatpants. She is sitting on her bed with her back resting against the headboard, a duvet covering her lower body. Kol is sitting next to her on the bed, back rested against the headboard as well with his ankle crossed and his arms folded behind his head.

Caroline has been talking most of the time while Kol has been listening to her. He does respond a few but most of the time, attentive to her. He enjoys hearing his vampire's lovely voice. Kol can never get tired of it.

Suddenly, a phone rang. The blonde-haired beauty stopped talking as she turned her head to her nightstand. She reached over, picked up her phone, and saw the caller ID with bright eyes. "It's Bonnie." Caroline answered with the speaker on so Kol can hear. "Bonnie! Please tell me Elena is okay?"

Kol made a grimace face. He really doesn't like the doppelgänger.

"Elena's alive. Thanks to John's sacrifice." Bonnie informed through the speaker with a hint of relief and tiredness. Kol clicked his tongue disappointedly as he dropped his arms to his lap.

Caroline frowned with perplexity. "Wait, what? What's going on? Did Klaus break the curse or not? What do you mean about John's sacrifice? Bonnie, please tell me." She needs details right this instant which amuses Kol.

Bonnie sighed was heard. "It's a bit of a long story, Care."

Caroline narrowed her eyes at her phone, suspiciously. "You sound exhausted." She blunted, concern for her witch best friend. "Want to come by my house and talk? You can sleep over here." She doesn't care that its early morning.

"…Yeah. I'll come. But let me tell you this—" Caroline and Kol stared at the phone, interested as they heard the Bennett witch's tone change to firmly. "—Klaus succeed. The curse is broken. He's a real Hybrid now." Caroline silently gasps while Kol groans loudly in exasperated.

"Bloody hell… now he's going to be worst." Kol whined, a bit childishly. Just great, now it's going to be more complicated since Klaus finally broke his curse and became a true Original Hybrid.
