The blonde I'd assumed was Cami was sitting next to Davina checking on the unconscious girl while Klaus watched from the doorway with the white oak stake in hand.

"We should get her to a hospital," Cami said worriedly.

"Oh. Hello, darling. Back to huff and puff and blow the house down?" Kaleb asked Klaus

"You know, it's funny how often a person's sharp tongue can end up cutting their own throat," Klaus said unamused.

"Klaus, he's just a kid. Give him a break," Cami ordered him.

"You got a leash on him or something?" I asked her.

"You know, you may want to try a bit of lavender under your pillow. Does wonders for stuck-up pillocks with anger issues," Kaleb told him.

"Yes, piss off the hybrid who probably wants you dead," I said sarcastically giving him a look.

"Hey! Shut it," Cami told him angrily.

"I promised not to kill Davina. I said nothing of this insolent sod or her annoying ancestor," Klaus said and I threw him a look as Cami looked up confused.

"Wait, what?" she asked confused.

"You mean again?" I asked.

"Are you a..."

"Vampire? No," I answered the unasked question. "But just over 100 years ago, I was a witch in love with one. But big brother Klaus didn't like the idea of one of his precious siblings loving a lowly witch and leaving the family. So he killed me on Christmas Eve."

"You deserved it for deceiving my brother into caring about you," Klaus told me. "There's no way a witch could ever feel anything for an Original."

"Well, if you ever bothered to get that stick out of your ass, maybe you'd be able to find some sort of happiness."

"Klaus, come on." Cami pulled Klaus from the doorway and away from the cabin.

"How did you come back?" Kaleb asked me.

"What do you mean?" I asked him.

"From the dead." I sighed before turning to him.

"Sometimes a witch can piggyback on a spell to use one of their own. When Davina brought Mikael back from the Other Side, I used some of the leftover magic to bring myself back. Top off the power of Davina's spell with the birth of a magical baby and, well, you see where I'm going with this."

"But why stay in New Orleans?" Kaleb asked. "Why not travel the world?"

"You know, I thought of traveling. Seeing some of the places the love of my life told me about, but I couldn't leave her or this place. This was the last place I'd been happy with him."

"I can understand that," he nearly whispered before Klaus made his appearance in the doorway again.

"You've got a way with words," Klaus said.

"Well, I've traveled," Kaleb told him standing up and walking over to the hybrid so they could speak face-to-face, but still staying out of his reach.

"You seem to have crossed continents to order to weasel your way into Davina's good graces, thereby meddling in my family business." Klaus smiled at him and I stared at the pair confused where he was going with this. "Strange, isn't it? Unless it's your family business." My mouth fell open at Klaus' words. There was no way this could be Finn and with Elijah and Klaus still alive, it had to be... "You know, ever since my mother and Finn, I was wondering when you might make an appearance, Kol."

"Kaleb?" The witch chuckled before dramatically bowing to Klaus.

"Then the jig is up!" Klaus smiled at the man in front of him. "Hello, brother! Hello, Dani."

"It's not that I begrudge you hitching a ride back to the land of the living. It's just that you're making all the wrong friends, brother. And, I have half a mind to show you how wrong you are," Klaus told him.

"But you're not going to do that, are you?" Kaleb, no Kol, asked Klaus. "Because your little blonde friend told you to leave me alone." Klaus chuckled at his baby brother's words. "I'm curious, does she take one of those little baggies out when she takes you for a walk?" I could see Klaus' annoyance at Kol's words.

"Cami? I changed my mind, I am going to kill him after all." Kol and I watched Klaus as Cami said nothing back to him. "Cami?" Concerned without her reply, Klaus left us alone.

"Why didn't you tell me?" I asked Kol.

"I wasn't allowed to, love," he told me and I scoffed at him.

"That's never stopped you before."

"Going against my brother is one thing. Going against my mother is another." Kol sat in a rocking chair and started rocking as I watched him.

"Wake her up. Tell her to get Mikael back here, now," Klaus ordered.

"Well, let me- let me think about that," Kol tapped his chin thoughtfully while looking at me and Davina. "No!"

"You, wake her up." I laughed at Klaus' order to me.

"Why would I help you?" I asked him. Klaus gives the two of us a furious look.

"In fact, you should probably get going, Nik. Mikael, he's probably jonesing for a restorative snack about now. It'd be a shame to find- uh, Cami, is it?- nothing more than a bloodless husk."

"We're not done here, you and I," Klaus said angrily before he vamp-sped away to find his girl. I put a pillow under Davina's head to try and make her comfortable.

"We need to go," Kol told me quietly.

"I'm not leaving Davina here alone." Kol's phone began to ring and he checked it before silencing and pocketing it. Suddenly, his nose starts to bleed and I look at him curiously. "Kol? Are you okay?" He wiped the blood away as his phone rang again.

"Yeah, love, I'm fine." He smiled at me before moving to the porch to answer his phone. "Bit of family drama." He smirked at me and I just stared at him confused. Kol began to look around as I tended Davina's injury. I cast a small spell to take away some of the pain and gave it to myself. Not such a great idea all the time, but I'd get over it. I smiled as Davina started to wake up and start to look around. She winces and touched the injured part of her head.

"Hey, you're okay. Just take it slow," I told her.

"What happened?" Davina asked.

"Davina, you're awake! I was starting to freak out, are you okay?" Kol said falling into his role as Kaleb again. As Davina sat up, she groaned and rubbed the back of her skull.

"My head..." She looked around for a moment a bit frantically. "...Klaus?"

"Angry bloke with the deadly aim? Yeah, he smashed the place up, and then he left," Kol said. It wasn't a technical lie, but still.

"Don't sugarcoat it," I told him. "I had to release Mikael from the bracelet's hold and he fought Klaus." She started to panic a little. "Don't worry, Klaus won and shoved Tunde's blade in Mikael, but now Mikael's gotten away and Klaus went after him."

"Where'd he go?" Davina asked horrified.

"To hunt down your pet-serial-killer-friend. Listen, not to be Mr. Judgmental here, but I'm starting to question the company that you keep," Kol said and I gave him a look. Davina stood up and began to pace.

"The white oak stake?" Davina asked.

"It's gone, I'm afraid. The serial-killer one took it." Davina grabbed her bracelet and seemed like she was about to cry.

"Davina, sweetie, sit down," I told her. "You've been out for a long time. They could be anywhere by now." Kol poured her a glass of water from a pitcher and handed it to her.

"Here, have some water."

"No, you don't understand! If Mikael's free, he can kill Klaus, and then my friends die, too!" Davina shouted at us.

"Well, if I understand all this, Mikael's been trying to kill Klaus for eons. How are you going to stop him?" Kol asked her. Davina thought for a moment before shaking her head.

"I'm not. I need to finish my spell, now."

Davina and I began pouring over her notes she'd pinned to the wall, while Kol looked through other notes nearby.

"Um, perhaps we should hold off on this..." Kol suggested and Davina gave him a hard look.

"No, I have everything I need! Combine a knotting spell with a sire-bond spell," she turned away from him and looked through her things again. "I just have to combine them the right way..."

"And do them in reverse. That's pretty advanced for a wee girl like you," Kol told her.

"Which is why you and I will be doing it," I told him snatching the page he'd been holding out of his hand and giving him a look.

"You know, I can give you a list of people who have underestimated me," Davina told him. "Not one of them has done it a second time."

"Well, Kaleb, are you going to help me?" I asked him. He stared down at me and smirked.

"Well, perhaps I should help you. I'm pretty good at stuff like this," he told me and I smiled at him.

"Good."

"I don't think so," Davina chuckled. "It's not just saying the spells backwards, it's changing the verb tense into-"

"Nemo unus animabus carnem et sanguinem de ista duo." Davina looked at him impressed. "Like I said, I'm good at what I do. It's never paid to underestimate me, either."

"I'll remember that. Shall we?" I asked before Davina and I walked into the next room with him following.

Kol and I sat cross-legged across from each other on the floor and we quietly chanted Davina's spell.

"Sanguinatum venetus barkael meh-"

"Stop!" Davina said. "Stop. This isn't working." I gave Kol a look and he looked down. I scoffed silently before shaking my head.

"What did you do?" I asked him.

"Danielle," Davina said, but I just stared at Kol.

"Well, maybe you're just... doing it wrong?" Kol said.

"Are you really more worried about what she'll think of you if she knows the truth?" I asked him.

"I'm more worried about you," he told me. "What will she do when she finds out about you?"

"Neither of you are making sense," Davina sighed before grabbing our hands. "I'll chant and channel your power."

"Davina, no!" I tried to pull my arm away when she grabbed my arm and she got visions of what I was tying to hide from her.

"You're one of them!" Davina said furiously before turning to me. "And you lied to me!" She threw us both against the wall. "You liar!" She threw us against another wall and my head hit it hard. I put my hand to my head and saw blood on it. I glanced up at Kol and he turned to Davina and pulled her to him with magic before throwing her against the opposite wall.

"That hurt," he told her. Davina cast a pain-infliction spell on Kol, who grabbed his temples in agony. I cast my own spell to protect him and stared up at Davina.

"If you're going to be angry at someone, be angry at me," I told her.

"How could you have lied to me?" she asked me.

"I've been wondering the same thing about him," I glanced at Kol before looking back at her. "Would you have believed me if I'd told you I was your ancestor and I wanted to help you kill the monster who murdered me just because I dared fall in love with him?" I pointed at Kol and she turned her eyes to him.

"You ruined the spell, and now my friends are gonna die because of you!" Davina accused turning her rage to him.

"My mother said, "Kill the spell, or kill them." And I happen to love your aunt," Kol told her. Davina glared at us both.

"Oh, please-"

"Listen, you don't disobey Mother Dearest without some consequences. Yes, she brought me back to life, but she's mad as a hatter. And, that man you've made your pet, my father? Well, he's more of a lunatic than she is," Kol told her.

"What, so you just unleash him?" Davina asked me.

"He threatened Kol's life when I thought he was just an innocent witch," I reminded her.

"You're the one who brought him back to life first, love!" Kol tried defending me.

"I had him under control!"

"Yeah, right up until the point you didn't, which is when he threatened her with my life! He wanted freedom, so we freed him. You wanna know my secrets?" Kol held out his arms to Davina and me. "Then here you go. Go on! Have at it! Yes, I'm a Mikaelson, but I've got just as much reason to loathe the lot of them as you do. Especially Klaus." I stared at Kol's wrists and shook my head.

"You forget," I said looking into his blue eyes. "I know your secrets." Davina, after a moment, reflexively grabbed her bracelet.

"You deactivated my bracelet. How?"

"It's a dark object," I reminded her. "Kol showed me the spell I needed in case I ever got into trouble." Davina turned to him confused.

"I know a little something about creating and destroying dark objects," Kol told her.

"Show me." Kol relaxed and nodded.

"Alright." Davina turned and headed into the next room. Kol offered me his hand, palm up, and I stared at it. I slowly took it and we followed Davina.

The sun was high in the sky as the three of us walked through the woods in search of Mikael, Klaus, and Cami.

"Bleeding power from a dark object is tricky, so it does help to know what kind of object it is," Kol instructed.

"The white oak stake," Davina told him. Kol and I looked at her in disbelief. He laughed at her patronizingly and I shook my head once we realized she was serious.

"You want to drain the white oak stake, do you?" Kol mocked her.

"It's a dark object." Davina shrugged. "If I can't stop Mikael, I have to stop that stake from working."

"You can't drain the white oak stake," I told her. Davina grabbed my arm and stopped me from following Kol to his car.

"Just show me the spell!" she demanded.

"The problem's not the spell, love," Kol told her. "It's the white oak stake. It's too powerful, you can't just drain it. Best you can hope for is to disable it, but just for a bit." He turned and started walking back towards his car.

"So, do you have a better solution? Because I don't have time to argue! So, show me the spell, and hand me the keys," she ordered.

"And what are you going to do?" he asked her amused. "Just drive around until you bump into them?"

"We have a spell to track Mikael," I told him.

"Alright, fine. Your funeral. I'm still not going to allow you to drive me bloody car, though." Kol got inside the car and I followed him with Davina close behind.

When we arrived where Mikael was, we immediately got out of the car and rushed towards the building. Davina was about to walk inside when I stopped her.

"We can do the spell from here," I told her.

"We need to do this together," Kol told us.

"We're strong enough on our own," Davina told him.

"No, you're not. Listen, I know you don't trust me, and that's fair enough. But, these are your mates we're trying to save, here. The only way that we can do this is if we work together." He grabbed one of Davina's hands and held out his hand for mine. "You need to trust me. Alright? Take my hands. Take my power. Channel me." I took his hand and Davina and I held hands so we'd all be channeling each other for the spell.

"Mwen la bois. Donne m' la bois, la bois. Mwen la bois. Donne m' la bois, la bois. Mwen la bois. Donne m' la bois, la bois-" Davina stopped chanting and I opened my eyes to look at her.

"I can't hold it!"

"Look at me!" I told her over the wind we'd summoned with our magic. She looked up at me and I nodded my head to her with a smile. "We can do this!" Suddenly, Mikael appeared out of nowhere and approached us.

"Is this your doing, little witch? Then you will undo it! Return the power to the stake!" Mikael ordered us. We continued chanting as Davina released my hand to try and hold him back. Mikael fought her magic and Kol released our hands and stood between us and him. Mikael threw him across the room and against a chainlink fence. Davina held my hand tightly as we continued chanting when Mikael grabbed her and threw her to the ground before grabbing my shoulders and feeding off me. Once he was done, I fell to the ground and he ran back to the other room. I went to check on Davina just as she was coming round. Kol was at my side in an instant and helped me to stand. We walked into the main room where Klaus and Cami were joined by Marcel and Hayley. We all stood together to face Mikael.

"It's over, Mikael. You're outnumbered. Are you going to beg for your miserable life?" Klaus asked him.

"You think having people makes you strong?" Mikael laughed at him. "It proves how weak you are. Come find me when you don't have fools, women and children fighting your battles." Mikael threw the scrap of wood in his hand at us and vamp-sped away to heal.

Outside of the building, Kol sat on the hood of his car while I looked him over.

"Are you okay?" I asked him.

"Uh, a bit light-headed. Might have something to do with being knocked ass over teacup by dear old Dad," he joked and I laughed lightly as we were joined by Davina.

"How you feeling?" she asked us and I nodded to her.

"We'll be okay." After a moment, Marcel approached us and ignored us in favor of addressing Davina.

"You are lucky to be alive, young lady. You wanna tell me what the hell you were thinking?" Marcel asked her.

"Can we not do this right now?" Davina asked him.

"Am I gonna embarrass you in front of your friend?" Marcel asked him. Marcel finally took notice of us and stared at us. "Who the hell is this guy, anyway?"

"Oh, we've gotta stop meeting like this, pal," Kol joked. Marcel gave him a curious, yet suspicious, look.

"He's my friend," I told him. "And he's helping us with a pest control problem."

"You mean helping you wage war on Klaus, and help me get killed in the process?" Marcel asked.

"I just saved Klaus' life trying to protect you!" Davina said angrily.

"Yeah, from a psycho-vampire-hunter that you brought back to life-"

"Alright, enough!" Kol shouted at Marcel which earned him a glare. It scared Kol enough that he started to backpedal.

"Well, I-I think it's enough." Marcel continued to glare at him and I shook my head at him. "It should be enough. I mean, we're all friends here, aren't we?" Marcel gave Davina a look, but she just glared at him.

"Just stay here 'til I get back," Marcel ordered us. "I'll handle Klaus." Marcel drug Davina back towards the building leaving Kol and I alone.

"We should get out of here. Trust me, my brother's not the forgiving kind. Even if you did help out back there, his hatred and betrayal outweighs his sense of gratitude," he told me.

"Trust me I'm more than aware of how Klaus can be," I reminded him. "That's why I feel like a little protection is warranted." I pulled out the white oak stake from the inside of my jacket and smiled at him. Kol's eyes widened in shock and horror.

"You out to get yourself killed? Again?" he asked me.

"I'm here to get even with the monster who killed me and locked you in a box for falling in love," I told him. "You going to help me or not?" He threw his keys up into the air and smirked at me.

"Your wish is my command.

"Then let's get out of here," I told him before climbing into the car.
