Love E x

Bonnie held onto their hands tightly and chanted, willing nothing to break her concentration. The flames of the surrounding candles shot upwards, flickering dangerously. A drop of blood trickled from her nose and onto her lip. She felt Elena grasp her hand more tightly as letters were conjured onto her forearm. Caroline gave a small gasp as letters began to appear o to her forearm in the same manner. Bonnie dared herself to look down at the jumble of letters scattered on her smooth skin. A few moments later, the candles went out abruptly and Bonnie stopped chanting. Slowly, each girl let go of one another's hands and began to stare at the mass of black letters written onto their skin.

"No,"

They heard Caroline mumble to herself,

" no no no no no..."

Caroline looked up, her blue eyes flooded with confusion and denial. Elena said nothing and only stared at the name. Bonnie looked away from the array of letters, refusing to believe that this person was her supposed mate.

"Klaus."

Caroline said, tracing the swirling letters with the tip of her finger. Elena took a deep breath and decided it was only fair that she told her friends who her mate was.

"It's Elijah..."

Caroline and Elena looked at Bonnie expectantly but she couldn't bare to say the name aloud. Instead, she twisted her arm around in an effort to allow her friends to read the

name out themselves.

"Your mate is Kol?"

Elena said questioningly. She wanted to believe that her best friend had done the spell wrong but Bonnie was a powerful witch and in her mind, Elena knew that that wasn't the case. Bonnie couldn't stand the silence so instead she asked the inevitable question that was burying itself deep into the girls thoughts,

"Are we going to tell them?"

Caroline looked up, a look of utter horror plastered onto her face, as did Elena.

"Bonnie Sheila Bennett please for the love of the living, tell me you're not seriously planning on telling the Mikaelsons?"

Carolina asked, internally hoping that her friend wasn't serious.

At the Mikaelson Mansion

Kol sped downstairs, instantly recognising the black ink that was forming on his arm. He slammed into Elijah on his way across the hall.

"Brother!"

Elijah shouted after straightening his suit and offering his hand to his childish younger brother. Kol stumbled to his feet and smirked at seeing the faint black mark through his brother white shirt sleeve.

"You as well brother? I wonder has Nik gotten his..."

Kol said to Elijah with a smirk. As if on cue, Niklaus raced out of his studio and to where his brothers currently stood.

"What is the meaning of this, brother?"

He growled at Kol, gesturing towards his paint stained arm where the name 'Caroline Forbes' was printed.

"I guess you won't need to fight for Caroline anymore brother. Seeing as she's already yours."

Kol smirked devilishly.

"You have about 10 seconds to explain what you mean brother or you will be back in a box with a dagger in your heart."

Klaus growled angrily at his youngest brother,

"Congratulations brothers... we have found our mates!"

A triumphant grin made its way onto the youngest Mikaelson brothers face.

"So you mean to say these names are those of our mates?"

Elijah asked, his face still shocked by the whole incident. Kol nodded and pulled up the sleeve of his shirt.

"I'm sorry to cut our reunion short brothers,"

Kol stated,

"but I have a particular Bennett witch to find."

With that, Kol sped out of the house in search of his mate. Klaus and Elijah glanced at one another before quickly following Kols train of thought and speeding off to find their mates.
