Outdoor
Later...
Caroline and Kol stared at Bonnie with bewilderment and astonishment. They are sitting on the outdoor chairs at one of the tables. The blonde-haired beauty is across from Bonnie who looks frustrated and distressed.
"...so Katherine has the necklace." the blonde-haired beauty stated, repeating what her witch best friend just informed her.
The Bennett witch rubbed her face exasperatedly. "Yeah. I didn't realize it was her. She act like Elena so convincingly that I didn't stop and think." She dropped her hands to her lap with a bitter frown.
"I need to teach you how to sense supernatural species by their auras instead of touch." Kol muttered as he folded his arms behind his head, leaning back against the chair while his ankles crossed.
"Not only that was the worst part." Bonnie said while Caroline grabbed a glass of water with lemon and played with the straw. "Jeremy has been seeing ghosts of his dead girlfriends all summer."
Caroline nearly choked when she was sipping her drink through the straw while Kol's eyebrows shot up with intrigue. The blonde-haired beauty lowered the cup down on the surface of the table in shock. "What?"
Bonnie crossed her arms with a discomfort frown. "Vicki and Anna. He's been talking to them."
"All because you brought him back to life. That's the price of the dangerous reckless magic." the transparent Original pointed it out, calmly.
Caroline tilted her head when she caught words from the ghost Original. "he said that was the price of the dangerous magic." she delivered the message to Bonnie, as she is used to being the messenger between the mentor and mentee.
The tiny witch exhaled through her nose as she leaned back heavily against the chair. I know, I know." she groaned while tipping her head back. "All spells have a price. Nothing is ever really free." she recalled how Kol made Caroline repeat those words so often that were engraved into Bonnie's mind from the first magic lesson. "This whole supernatural drama is making me so exhausted."
Silence appeared for the witch, vampire, and ghost for a moment until Caroline cleared her throat on purpose. A bright smile appeared on her face as her blue-green eyes shined. "Well, you know what?" her spine straightens up to get Bonnie and Kol attention on her. "Tomorrow night, we're going to do a Senior Prank." mischievous sparks appeared in her eyes that caught Kol's interest.
"Senior Prank." the petite witch mumbled, realizing just how time goes by so fast. "I almost forgot about that."
"Ah, isn't that some kind of event that pranks humans?" the wild Original perked up, attentive with slight enthusiasm. He loves pranks. Kola always used his magic to prank villagers when he was a little lad. He silently pondered when was the last time he actually did a prank for fun. Centuries ago? He mused, deeply.
"Yes, and we're going to be seniors. We need to create new memories because they will stay with us forever." Caroline slides her wiggle fingers across the table, gesturing to her witch best friend. Bonnie uncrossed her arms, accepted Caroline's playful fingers and they both entwined their fingers. Their talisman bracelets shimmer beautifully. "Plus, we can focus on having fun and ignore the whole supernatural drama. What do you think?" a hopeful smile displayed on her face.
Bonnie stared at her vampire best friend and then a soft smile appeared. "Alright." Caroline dances in her seat happily. "What's the plan for the prank? It is a big school."
"I have tons of ideas." Kol's dark eyes twinkle with mischievousness. He unfolded his arms, reached his fingers, and brushed against his vampire's cheek.
Caroline shivers by the icy-cold touch which informed Bonnie that the transparent Original had reached for the blonde-haired beauty's attention. "Kol?"
"Darling, I have a few ideas that you're going to love." Kol smirked widely, full of elation and excitement.

Mystic Falls
High School
Indoor — Night
Kol watches his vampire with amusement as he is currently sitting on the teacher's desk with his legs swinging idly. The sounds of clattering were heard through the quiet classroom. There are no voices because they are too focused on their delicate task. Unaware that someone opens the door and steps forward. A foot nudged one of the mouse traps that caused set off a number of mouse traps that have been placed on the floor.
A flick of light switched on to reveal Caroline, Bonnie, Elena, and Tyler who were startled badly while Kol burst out laughing. The blonde-haired beauty instantly stood on her feet exasperatedly. "Ohh! Oh, come on! Seriously!" she stomps her foot childishly with a pout. All mouse traps are activated as the sounds fade.
All eyes turned to Matt who stared at them flabbergasted and confused.
Caroline huffed as she crossed her arms while glowering immaturely at the Quarterback jock. "Do you know how long it took for us to set all this up?!" Kol watches his vampire with fond yet mith dancing in his dark eyes.
"Forgot about senior prank night, huh?" Tyler leaned his arm against the old television on the stroller, a raised knowing eyebrow at Matt.
"Clearly." Matt said with a guilty smile.
Caroline almost looks offended. "How could you forget? We've only been waiting for this since like freshman year. Plus, didn't your girlfriend tell you the story about her senior prank?" Matt rubbed the back of his neck sheepishly.
Elena props herself on top of one of the student desks. "Yeah, Matt. If I'm going this, you're doing this." she pointed at him with her flashlight.
The jock just shakes his head. He observed his friends with incredulity. "I'm kind of surprised any of you are doing this." he thought his friends would not be interested in senior pranks because of their dramas and he doesn't know the details. Since he has been busy working and spending time with Amber before she leaves for college.
"Caroline wants us to have an adventure." Bonnie voiced out as she exchanges knowing glances with Caroline who smiles at her. The transparent Original knew the reason was that they are taking a break from the supernatural drama and focusing on being normal for a short while.
The blonde-haired beauty placed her hands on her hips with a lifted chin. "We're about to be seniors. These are the memories that will stay with us forever, and if we don't—"
"—and if we don't create these memories now, then what's the point of it all?" Elena interjected as she finished the words easily with a playful smile.
Caroline sniffed faux-haughty as she brushed her hair over her shoulder. "Go ahead and make fun, I don't care." which made Kol smirk with amusement at her silly antics.
"You're all lame." Kol glares hatefully at the Lockwood werewolf. "And I've got ten more classrooms to prank." Tyler lifted the duffle bag from the ground, pulled the strap over his shoulder, and walked out. Matt chuckled softly with disbelief at Tyler's eagerness to pranks.
Elena slid down from the desk, stepped forward, and placed the flashlight down.
"Where are you going?" Matt asked the brunette with curiosity.
The doppelganger halted, turned halfway, and lifted the glue gun with a slightly lively smile on her face. "To superglue Alaric's desk shut. I'm making memories." then she walked out
Caroline hummed with pleased. "That's good!" then her blue-green orbs turned to Matt. "Are you going to join us?"
Matt glanced at her and Bonnie for a moment then shrugged his shoulders. "What the hell not?" Caroline squealed happily as she clapped her hands while Bonnie smiles widely.
The transparent Original jumped on his feet and sauntered his way to his vampire's side.
"You can do with Tyler. I'm sure he needs help." Caroline suggested which Matt agreed and hurriedly left to catch up with the Lockwood werewolf.
Bonnie slid toward Carolien with raised eyebrows. "What's next? Since this classroom is a bit of failure." she is eyeing the messy mouse traps on the ground. The blonde-haired beauty pouted disappointedly.
Kol taps his vampire's forehead as Caroline makes a face. "Bennett witch can do a spell." he reminded Caroline gently.
"Oh!" the blonde-haired beauty jerked her head at her witch best friend. "You can do..." she wiggles her fingers as if mimicked by doing magic.
The Bennett witch glanced around wisely for a moment and her lips twitch to a small playful smile. "Watch my back?" Caroline bobbled her head excitedly, quickly went to the door, and shut it. She turned around to cover the window as a precaution.
Kol straightens up as his eyes went attentive to his mentee. Bonnie stood a couple of feet away from Caroline as she is facing the mess of mouse traps while closing her eyes, relaxing her shoulders, and her fingers loose at her side. A soft Latin released from her lips.
Soon, hundreds of mouse traps levitated in the air. The objects carefully placed on the ground, covered the entire floor, and the sound of clicks was heard from all the mouse traps. "Not bad." Kol mumbled, approving how smoothly Bonnie's magic is working.
Bonnie opens her eyes and a joyful smile breaks on her face when she succeeded in her spell. "Bon-Bon!" That was amazing!" Caroline praised her witch best friend.
"Ready for the next prank?" the tiny witch asked, enthusiastic. Caroline grabbed her hand and tugged her out of the door while Kol follows them with amusement.
"To the pool!"

Pool Room
Later...
Kol examined the pool that was covered with toilet paper over the string banners and a few in the water. It was very entertaining hours for the transparent Original. He really enjoys watching his darling vampire doing tons of different pranks in school. Kol briefly thought about how he would introduce Caroline to how to do fun real pranks as a vampire. it would be very enjoyable for the blonde-haired beauty.
The wild Original shifted his gaze to Caroline who was throwing toilet paper over the string banner with a wide smile. So beautiful. Kol mused, taking his time to examine her face once again.
"This is going to be hilarious." Bonnie chuckled after she noticed how messy the pool room was. Caroline agreed with her as she put her hands on her hips proudly. "This is fun. Not worried about the dramas. Just acting like normal teenagers." the witch added as she leaned against the metal ladder with a soft sigh.
Caroline glanced over at her witch best friend with concern. "You alright, Bon?"
The petite witch stared at the body of water quietly for a brief moment. "Just... so much happened in just a year, you know? Last summer, I was a lifeguard at the community pool. You were part of the volunteer community events. We are also busy with cheer camp. And Elena was..." she trailed off.
"She was in mourning. In grief." Caroline finished Bonnie's sentence softy with sympathy.
Bonnie nods her head slowly then shifted her olive-green eyes to meet the gentle blue-green eyes. "And when the Junior year started... everything went insane. Elena's dating a vampire. I'm a witch. You're a special vampire. My ancestor was a soldier vampire. A ghost Original was cursed bound to your soul and became my mentor. Jeremy can see his dead girlfriends." she huffed, thinking about all the dramas that were happening just in a year. "Not to mention, there are Originals." she briefly thought about a certain Noble Original.
The blonde-haired beauty ambled to Bonnie and gently touch her hand. "I get it. Everything was crazy. Before the supernatural, things were so different."
"I always wondered what it would be like if we're just all normal teenagers, you know? What if the supernatural doesn't exist? What if the Salvatore brothers never came? Just... all these what-ifs, you know?" Bonnie explained, while playing with Caroline's fingers as their talisman bracelets glistened once again.
Kol sighed silently as he leaned his back against the wall. "Even if the Salvatore brothers never come. Eventually, the supernatural will come to you no matter how." he mumbled. After all, Elena Gilbert is a doppelganger. Bonnie Bennett is a witch. Caroline Forbes is an Sáõ.
"I know what you mean." Caroline did understand the witch's feelings. Since the blonde-haired beauty did think about "what-ifs" a few times but never really put effort into it since she wants to focus on the present time. Put her concentration on her life at this moment. "Sure, there are bad moments but there are also good moments."
A pretty shy smile appeared that caught Kol's attention. "I am confident and badass as a vampire. You got awesome magic and is totally badass as well." Bonnie chuckled wetly. "My mom loves me so much and accepts me as me. True that I don't know much about my kind but eventually, I will know the answers. You are becoming a true witch, thanks to a certain mentor." Bonnie rolls her eyes faux-exasperatedly. "We both went through a lot together. And no matter what, we have each other. Right?"
Bonnie nods her head with a soft sniff. "Right." the two best friends hugged each other warmly.
The transparent Original couldn't help but feel fondness for his vampire and his mentee. Then he just realized how he started to care about the petite witch. He mentally scoffed. It seems that a certain Bennett witch had crawled her way into his undead stone-cold heart. Making him care about her. Guess this is what he gets to take a mentee under his guidance. He has a feeling that his old mentor, Ayana, would be very proud of him.
"Now, should we head to the gym?" Caroline and Bonnie broke the hugs and exchanged sisterly smiles. "Let's go!"

Gym
Moment Later...
The vampire and the witch giggled as they pushed the doors open and step inside the gym. Unaware of the intense inside of the gym. "Bonnie! Caroline! Get out of here!" Elena shouted at them with wide eyes of fear for her friends who halted in baffle.
Suddenly, Klaus appeared behind the petite witch with a cold smirk. "Ah, I was wondering when you'd show up." Bonnie whirled around in shock while Caroline stiff with a defensive posture. "Now we can get started."
"Niklaus." Kol whispered, staring at his brother with blank eyes. He perfectly recalled the last time he saw Klaus was back in the year of nineteen-fourteen. When Klays was the one who stabbed him with a cursed dagger.
Klaus looks over at the poor human girl who is struggling to stand on one foot. "Ah, Dana, why don't you relax? You and Chad sit tight." Dana finally drops her foot with relief and Chad quickly helps her down, comforting her with his love and support.
The Hybrid shifted his blue eyes to Bonnie thoughtfully. "I assume you're the reason Elena's still walking around alive?"
"That's right." Bonnie lifted her chin fearlessly. "If you want to blame someone, blame me." Caroline was eyeing the dangerous Hyrbid Oiriginal while Kol still couldn't believe that he is seeing his brother in the flesh.
"Oh, there's no need for blame, love." Klaus chuckled humorlessly. "Just your witchy interference seems to have caused some undesirable side effects. And since you caused the problem, I'm going to have you find the fix."
Before anyone utter a word, a door slammed open, and a loud voice was heard from the Lockwood werewolf. "Get off of me!"
"Hush now." a feminine voice from a beautiful blonde vampire who is dragging Tyler across the gym with a calm face.
Kol's eyes widen in surprise to see his sister. "Bekah." he muttered, looking at his sister who betrayed him to Klaus all because he wanted to create a special golden dagger.
"I'd like you all to meet my sister, Rebekah." Klaus introduced his sister to the others with a smirk. "Word of warning, she can be quite mean." Kol snorted as Rebekah frowned at Klaus with a glare.
"Don't be an ass." Princess Original pushed Tyler to Klaus who caught him by the back of his neck.
Elena steps forward fearlessly. "Leave him alone!" she demanded, worried about the werewolf.
"I'm going to make this very simple..." Klaus dragged the Lockwood werewolf by the neck to stand in front of his audience with a haughty smirk. "...every time I attempt to turn a werewolf into a vampire hybrid, they die during the transition. it's quite horrible, actually." then he immediately bit his inner wrist and forced it on Tyler's mouth to drink his blood.
The Lockwood werewolf struggle uselessly against Klaus who stared at them coldly. Elena's jaw dropped while Bonnie and Caroline exchanged grave glances. Kol frowns solemnly with a considered glint in his dark eyes.
"I need you to find a way to save my hybrids, Bonnie. And for Tyler's sake..." Klaus' blue eyes stared straight at Bonnie. "...you better hurry." he warned her as he twist Tyler's head, instantly killing him.
All eyes widen in horror shocked when Tyler fell onto the ground, motionlessly. Klaus chuckled humorously at their reaction while Rebekah smirked and Kol sighed at his brother's dramatic act.
The transparent Original is slowly understanding Elijah's tolerance for Klaus' behavior of being dramatic. First, the whole music during that seventies dance, the body snatcher of that wannabe hunter, the ritual drama shit, and now this... Kol honestly started to get sympathy for his noble brother.
Klaus step back with a smirk while the Princess Original followed him. Elena quickly reached to Tyler's side and check his pulse. "...he's really..." she forced to swallow nervously and anxiously while glancing up at her best friends.
"Dead." Caroline blunted while staring at the dead werewolf, upset. Bonnie couldn't even utter a word. Kol narrowed his eyes at the Lockwood werewolf with contemplation.
Elena shakes her head, denying it. "No... he has Klaus' blood. It will turn him into a vampire." she said, clinging on positive.
"If Bonnie's successful, he'll live through his transition." Klaus opens his mouth, gaining all eyes on him warily. "Go on, then. Go and fetch your grimoires and enchantments and what-not." the Hybrid Original grabbed Elena's bicep and forced her to stand on her feet. He smirk coldly at the frightened doppelganger. "I'll hold on to Elena... for safe-keeping."
Bonnie shifted her eyes to Elena who nod her head, and silently gesture to her to leave her behind with the dangerous Originals.
The witch's lips pressed together, solemnly then turned her gaze to her vampire best friend. Caroline immediately understood and nod her head. they both held hands and quickly jogged out of the gym through the doors while Kol studied his siblings quietly and then hurriedly run after his vampire.

"What the hell am I doing to do?" Bonnie brush her fingers through her hair anxiously. "The curse he's talking about is a thousand years old. My grimoires don't go back that far."
Caroline bit her inner cheek as they both striding down the hall, thinking of how to solve the problem before Tyler is truly dead. Bonnie turned her head to the blonde-haired beauty. "Does Kol have any answers?" she practically pleads for her mentor's answer.
Kol made a gramice face. "Thousand years old curse made by our mother." he mumbled, attempting to recall all information. "She created this curse to bind his werewolf side with a moonstone. The ingredients were Petrova's blood, witch, vampire, and werewolf on the night of the full moon. Perfect spell for a curse. Yet..." he frowns thoughtfully. "...easily to lift the curse as well..." he is well aware of the fact that Original Witch wouldn't make her curse easily lift. Mother love makes complicated spells. It was her signature as a witch. Kol thought of all the possibilities. In fact, all witches love making complicated and almost impossible curses. However, all curses have loopholes and trickery.
"Kol?" Caroline questioned, waiting for the ghost Original's answer. The vampire and the witch continued to walk until they reached the exitance doors.
They step outside of the school building in the silent night of the illumination moon in the sky. Bonnie turned her head to the blonde-haired beauty. "Well?" she impatiently asked.
Caroline shrugs her shoulders in response. "Kol? Do you know anything?" she also impatiently wait as well.
"What if her curse causes her to trick Klaus?" the transparent Original blurted out.
"Huh?" the blonde-haired beauty blinked bewildered and confused. "Trick?"
Bonnie moved closer with eagerness. "What did he say?"
Caroline frowns at her witch best friend with unsure. "He said something about a curse and trick." Bonnie's eyes glimmer thoughtfully while Kol rubbed his lip with his hand as he slowly comprehend with knowledge. "I honestly don't get it?" Caroline is completely lost.
The Bennett witch's eyes were clear as she glanced at Caroline. "I've read and studied some curses on grimoires. They have some nasty spells that involve details." Bonnie made a disgusted face when she remembered the horrifying details of the nasty curses. "What they all have in common was that they trick people who attempt to lift the curses." she explained, calmly on her vampire best friend's behalf.
"So..." Caroline trails off as she processes the information. "...does that mean the witch who cursed Klaus a thousand years ago... tricked him somehow, and it caused his hybrids dead?" Bonnie nodded her head as she confirmed that Caroline is on the right track. "Okay, what then? How are we going to find the fix for Klaus' problem with hybrid, exactly? It can't be Elena's death. He's already a Hybrid so that means his werewolf side is free even when Elena is alive."
Bonnie furrowed her eyebrows deeply. "The moonstone already unleashes the bind. Vampire, werewolf, and doppelganger are all dead. Maybe... the witch wasn't supposed to be dead?" she pointed it out, with suggestions.
"Incorrect." the wild Prince Original denied, doesn't believe that is the right answer.
Caroline shakes her head. "Kol said no." she replied for Kol to Bonnie who looked frustrated.
"If only I have that witch's grimoire. Then I can figure out her spell." the petite witch groaned as she rubbed her face impatiently infuriating and distressed.
The blonde-haired beauty crossed her arms, trying to think since she wants to help her witch best friend and her ghost friend. "Uuhh... all I know is that they all involves with death, and they were all females... umm...messy rituals that have blood all over." Caroline thinks aloud, unaware that she unintentionally just provide the answer for Kol.
Suddenly, Kol's dark eyes lit up with elastic knowledge. "Holy shit." he finally figure out what's the problem. "The doppelganger is the answer." he muttered as he shifted his gaze to the doors thoughtfully with a humorless smirk. "Her blood is the answer." he huffed, silently impressed with his mother's trickery with her curse. To think that mother is still screwing you, brother. Kol mused, dryly humor.

Meanwhile...
Rebekah hummed softly while looking through the phone that she stole from Tyler's pocket. She is currently sitting on one of the chairs, with her feet placed on the edge of the table while being nosey about the werewolf's phone.
Princess Original did see a photo of Tyler's group of friends where Elena and Stefan were in it. When she saw the necklace that Elena wore, she immediately went warpath on the doppelganger. Unfortunately, the bitch doppelganger vampire, Katerina, had her necklace.
With no choice, she has to return and watch over the Lockwood werewolf. At least Klaus punished Stefan and Elena with their lies so, Rebekah feels a bit better.
In front of her, Tyler laying on a table that has been dead for nearly ten minutes. Until he wakes up with a loud gasp. "Where am I? What happened?" he curled his body defensively while jerking his head around with rapid-speed eyes.
"You're in transition." the blonde vampire blunted, uncaringly while tapping on the phone with interest. "This adance mobile telephone is fascinating. Didn't have it in my day, would have made my life a whole lot easier." she changed the subject with intrigue by the amazing invention of the cell phone.
Tyler turned his head to her with confused narrowed eyes. "Wh-what? Tr-transition? What are you talking about?" he carefully touch his neck he could've sworn that it was snapped by the Hybrid.
"A vampire, sweets." she glanced up at the bewildered werewolf. "Well, more like a hybrid. But only you survive if your witch is successful to figure out what went wrong. If not..." a happy smirk appeared. "You're pretty much dead."
The Lockwood werewolf stared at her in horror aghast.
Rebekah double-taps on the cell phone then flip it over to show him the timer on the screen. "Only five minutes remaining." a smug glint in her blue eyes. "Tick tock goes the gym clock where the ripper is ready to rip a doppelganger apart." she gleefully sang.
Tyler anxiously gulped.

Moment Later...
"Is he absolutely sure?" Bonnie asked, repeatedly while wringing her wrist nervously.
"Yes. For the umpteenth time." Kol grumbled, tired of repeating the same answer. He followed close to his vampire as the blonde-haired beauty and the Bennett witch hurriedly with fast power walking.
Caroline nodded her head. "Yes. He is positive. No mistake." she assures her nervous witch best friend.
The petite witch exhaled from her lips with incredulity. "So, it's her blood that he needs."
"Blood, you say." the best friends halted in a freeze when they heard a British voice. Kol made a face when he saw his brother who is leaning against the wall with his arms crossed, coolly. "Please enlighten me, little witch." Klaus emotionlessly smirked.
Bonnie's hands curled into tight fists at her side as she pulled her shoulders back, daringly. "Elena's blood might be the key that needs to complete the transition for your hybrid." she proclaimed, calmly with a glare.
Klaus tilted his head with consideration for a brief moment until a dry chuckle was released from his lips. "Of course. Of course, that bloody witch would do this." he pushed himself away from the wall. "Let's hope this solution you offer saves your little werewolf friend's life." he whirled around and walk away until he was out of their sight.
The blonde-haired beauty sighed loudly. "That was intense." she said, uncomfortably. Bonnie nodded her head, agreeing with Caroline. "Now what?"
Kol shoves his hands in his pockets. "Now we wait, I supposed." he grumbled quietly. the transparent Original honestly doesn't know what to think about his brother and sister who are now in Mystic Falls. He doesn't want Klaus to be anywhere near his vampire and his mentee.
His bloody dramatic paranoid brother is extremely troublesome and a pain in the arse to deal with. He rather have to deal with Elijah than Klaus.

Caroline's Bedroom
Later...
Caroline softly bit her thumb with her teeth while her holding her cell phone pressed against her ear. She is sitting on her bed while Kol is laying on his side of the bed with his arms folded behind his back, staring at the ceiling blankly.
"I see...okay...thanks for letting me know. Uh-huh. Alright. See you tomorrow. Good night. Love you too, Bon-Bon." the blonde-haired beauty hang up the phone, set it on her nightstand, and flopped on her side of the bed.
She sigh loudly in disappointment and tired. "What a botch. So much crap happened." her blue-green eyes filled with frustration and upset. "Klaus came back. Another Original popped up. Stefan's emotions are shut off. Dana and Chad are dead. Tyler is now a hybrid. Klaus tried to kidnap Elena for her blood but ran away. Damon saved her, and got a secret message from Stefan hours ago. Bonnie checked on Matt and turned out he was compelled and completely forgot about Senior Prank." she roughly rubbed her face with her hands. "God... this night was supposed to be harmless and fun."
Kol turned his head to his vampire who dropped her hands on her stomach. He could easily see how much upset she truly is. Prince Original lifted his fingers and gently brushed feather-like touches on her jawline to her cheek. Caroline shivers as her eyes closed and tilted her head in his direction.
The transparent Original has no words but silently informs her that he is here with her. A small yet soft shy smile appeared on Caroline's face. "Senior Pranks are a complete failure but... maybe, next time, we can do pranks once you're physically here?" she gently whispered with hope and not even a minute later when she has fallen asleep.
"I would love that, my darling girl." Kol whispered back with softened eyes while watching over his slumber vampire as his undead heart lit with very small, weak fragile hope that someday would be very soon.

Meanwhile...
The ringtone was heard loudly as a hand grabbed it from the dashboard. Pressed the accept button and answered. "Hello?"
"Ray Sutton. Ready to become my Second in Command?" Klaus' tone wasn't a question, but a command that must obey.
A pair of warm whiskey-brown eyes stared at the night sky calmly as Ray leaned sideways with his elbow resting against on the windowless edge. A werewolf wordlessly sigh, as he thought about his private conversation with his mother a while ago. They've been having a lot of discussions about his life and his future for days.
In the end, Ray decided that he wants to have a long future to share with his mother and his few vampire friends. They made him feel at home and content. He doesn't want to lose that. "Yeah." determined glint in his whiskey-brown eyes. "I'm ready."
"Wonderful." Klaus hummed with elation.
