AN: Sorry I couldn't get out 2 chapters last time. I was going to try to get out 2 this week, but I've been sick and busy so it's just one. Thanks for reading.
When the two brothers break apart Kol turns to Bonnie.
"I suppose this means I have to forgive you for the part you played in my demise, the first one, of course. Although, brother, making promises for me normally doesn't work out. Luckily this time, I'm willing to agree and I won't kill the Gilberts just yet," Kol smirks. Bonnie rolls her eyes annoyed. Caroline is still watching Bonnie to make sure she's ok.
"I'm guessing you were watching when we talked about everything?" Bonnie asks.
"Obviously, had to make sure you did everything right," Kol jokes.
"So you know I tried to get you back as a witch, you haven't been pushed out yet do did it work?" Bonnie asks. Caroline looks at Klaus and knows the answer before Kol says anything.
"It didn't," Kol answers.
"You haven't been invited in though?" Bonnie asks confused.
"You invited me in when you brought me back to life here, but thanks for trying, I didn't even expect Nik here to say anything," he shrugs. Klaus looks like he's about to say something when Hope starts to cry. Klaus quickly spins and picks her up to comfort her.
"This must be my beautiful niece," Kol grins.
"This is Hope," Klaus says with a smile and moves forward to hand her to Kol. Kol seems hesitant at first but let's Hope be placed in his arms.
"Hi Hope. I'm Kol and I'm gonna be your favorite uncle. I'll tell you all the embarrassing stories about your daddy here," Kol coos.
"Kol," Klaus growls. Kol laughs and walks away continuing to talk to Hope. Klaus glares after him for a bit, but then turns back to the girls.
"Thank you," he says. Bonnie looks slightly startled but nods.
"Bonnie can take Dahlia's powers later today, but if her helping out Hope has to wait until tomorrow it will, got it?" Caroline looks at Klaus.
"Once she's rested and ready," Klaus sighs and leaves the room after Kol.
"I have half of the Mikaelson siblings in my house right now, we better hope that Damon doesn't stop by to get us to help," Bonnie sits down on the couch.
"Actually you'd need one more of them to show up, but for once we can be glad Elena is spending all her time with Damon," Caroline states sitting down next to Bonnie.
"I really don't want to clean this up," Bonnie looks around at the mess.
"Well that's the good thing about them being here then, you helped them out, they can clean," Caroline points out.
"We can hear you and I don't clean," Kol calls from the other room.
"I know and yes you will," Caroline calls back. There's a yelp and then a short pause before they get another reply.
"We'll clean up, don't worry love," Klaus answers. Caroline smiles at Bonnie with an idea of what just happened in the other room. She can hear Kol mumbling to Hope again.
"I can't believe this is my life," Bonnie shakes her head.
"At least it's not your long lost aunt's body on the floor," Caroline jokes. They both look at Dahlia's body and then each other and laugh.
A couple hours later after Bonnie eats and Kol and Klaus clean up the living room, Bonnie's ready to take Dahlia's magic.
"What are you going to do if she doesn't die without her magic?" Caroline asks Klaus.
"Either take care of her myself or send her unconscious back to my siblings. Freya would love to take care of her on her own," Klaus answers.
"For a thousand years old, your family keeps popping out of the woodwork," Caroline notes.
"Hopefully this is the last estranged family I have to deal with," Klaus says. Bonnie finishes with whatever she'd been mixing and stands up.
"We probably don't have much time to do this because I don't know how much longer your witches spell will last now, so I need you both to be ready in case something goes wrong," Bonnie turns to both of them.
"And Care, I will most likely get knocked out once the power transfers to me, so don't worry I should wake up once the magic settles."
Caroline doesn't look happy about it but nods in understanding.
"Kol took Hope somewhere else correct?" Bonnie asks Klaus.
"Yes and with instructions to make sure he's not discovered by your friends," Klaus answers.
"Good because we don't need Dahlia trying to attach any of her power to Hope," Bonnie states. She turns back to her mixture and picks up the bowl moving next to Dahlia's body on the couch. With one hand grabs onto Dahlia's body tightly and holds the bowl in her other. She takes a deep breath and then lifts the bowl up to her face and downs the mixture in one go. She drops the bowl and brings her hand to meet the other, chanting loudly. She chants for a minute or so before her words start getting quieter. Her last word is said with a sigh before she passes out still holding onto to Dahlia.
"Is she supposed to still be linked or do we move her?" Caroline asks hesitantly.
"Keep her there for now, just in case," Klaus answers. They both wait in silence for a couple minutes.
"Do you hear that?" Klaus asks. Caroline looks at him.
"What?," she asks.
"Dahlia's heart rate is slowing, it must have worked," he replies. Caroline listens closely and recognizes the sound. She then listens to Bonnie's which is still strong and steady.
"We can probably move her once Dahlia's heart stops," Klaus says. They only have to wait a couple more minutes before that happens. Klaus checks Dahlia just in case before he allows Caroline to lift Bonnie away. Caroline carries Bonnie to her room and sets her on her bed, tucking her in before heading back to Klaus.
"I'm thinking I still might send her body back to Freya, could keep her off my back a little longer," Klaus considers.
"That's not creepy at all," Caroline rolls her eyes. Klaus just smiles at her.
"I guess I should call Kol back before he causes any trouble," Klaus sighs pulling out his phone.
"I should probably check in with the others maybe drop some hints about Bonnie and her getting close to getting her magic back so it's not suspicious when they see her again," Caroline says. Klaus nods and Caroline leaves the room to call Elena.
"Hey Care," Elena answers slightly out of breath. Damon's with her still then, good, she thinks.
"Hey, just wanted to check in, make sure everything's ok. Did you guys find the wolf yet?" I ask.
"Not yet, we're still looking. I'm hoping he just passed through town. Damon said you and Bonnie are busy, what's going on?" she asks.
"Well we were going through some of Bonnie's grimoires, I think she may be able to get her magic back soon. I didn't understand all the witchy rules but her no magic thing is not permanent this time," Caroline plays up the ditz.
"That's great. Does she need any help? Do you want me to come over?" Elena asks.
"No we're good. We're going to look through a couple more books and then take a break, you guys keep working on the wolf. We'll see you tomorrow," Caroline says.
"Okay then, see you tomorrow, good luck," Elena gets out before presumably Damon hangs up. Caroline puts her phone away and turns to see Kol strolling in with Hope, both eating ice cream.
"You know you're little town is quite nice when you're friends aren't being idiots," Kol states.
"It's nice when people aren't trying to kill everyone," Caroline looks at him. Klaus walks in and goes to take Hope from Kol. She squirms and mumbles but goes without a fight.
"Already the favorite, I told you," Kol grins finishing off his ice cream.
