"I'm telling you, I am strong enough" Bonnie stressed to Hanna. "You've been teaching me these last couple of months, training me. Do you not see it? I'm stronger than the last time we did this spell, a hell of a lot stronger."

"There's still a very big risk" Hanna told her. Hanna was trying to get some dishes done but Bonnie was very determined. They had gotten done with one of their lessons not too long ago. Hanna could see Bonnie becoming more and more powerful.

"What are you so afraid of?" Bonnie couldn't help but to snap. Hanna sighed and turned the water off. She grabbed a towel and dried her hands before facing Bonnie.

"Kol is known to be the one of the most dangerous Originals. Not only because of his unpredictability but because of his willingness to take lives. He's been daggered the most yet his death toll is as high as Klaus's, if not higher." Hanna explained.

"But he's changed, ever since he met Claire he's changed. They all have" Bonnie points out.

"I understand that but the Ancestor's won't see it that way. Bringing someone back from the dead is a crime against nature. Especially if that person is an Original. I'm afraid of the consequences, the repercussions. The Ancestor's are violent and vengeful. They will not let us bring Kol back peacefully."

"What do you think they'll do?" Bonnie asked feeling more calm. Hanna sighs and shakes her head.

"I don't know... That's why I'm nervous. Whatever they'll do, we won't be ready for it. We won't be prepared" Bonnie sighs and crosses her arms.

"We have to bring Kol back... Claire is barely hanging on. The only reason she's lasted this long with her sanity is because of the others. That won't last. We don't have forever." Bonnie said. "Have you seen her lately?"

"I saw pictures of her at the Prom, she looked beautiful" Hanna smiles.

"That was a good day. Those are rare. The prom was weeks ago. She's gone further down hill sense then. She's lucky to get a few hours of sleep. She's putting on a brave face but everyone can see the pain she's in. Not just the emotional pain but it's physical now. She was going steady and then suddenly everything just went down hill. I'm afraid she's going to stay like this for a little bit and then have another drop, a drop she might not survive. She needs Kol. The baby needs Kol. That family needs Kol."

Hanna looks at Bonnie. She could see the desperation in her eyes. Hanna can't help but to smile. She remembers the last time they preformed this spell. Last time, Bonnie and Claire weren't on speaking terms and Claire had to practically beg her for help. This time, it's Bonnie begging Hanna to do the spell to save Claire.

"I'll ask my brother and sister, they should give us the extra power to do the spell." Hanna said.

"You have a brother and sister?" Bonnie asked. Hanna nods with a small smile.

"Their younger than me. My brother just retired from the military and my sister is in town visiting my parents. I think that their both wanting to come back home, be apart of the coven again." Hanna said.

"And it's just your family in the coven?" Bonnie asked.

"At the moment" Hanna nods. "Some covens are made up of various witches and warlocks who simply gather for rituals, holidays or to accomplish powerful spells. Then there are families of covens where the witches stay within the same town and rely on each other more. That's the type of coven my family has. We're stronger when we're together, unstoppable even. But we're only truly unstoppable when we're all together. If one of us dies, their magic flows through the other coven members making us stronger."

"Is that why Claire is so powerful? Because Noah died and she got some of his power?" Bonnie asked curiously.

"Claire is so powerful because when Noah died all of his power flowed into her" Bonnie's eyes widened slightly. "His coven worked similarly to ours. When a member dies, their magic flows through the first born and if they don't have a first born it flows through their sibling. No sibling, the magic dissipates through nature." Hanna explains.

"So your siblings are coming back so they can be more powerful?" Bonnie asked wanting to understand.

"My siblings are returning because this is where their family lives. Think of it like werewolves. Werewolves desire to be in a pack, werewolves desire a leader. Our family desires to be in a coven, to be around each other. We feel complete, like when a siphoner is full on magic, when we're all together. So, with my siblings return, we'll be stronger. We'll be complete."

"Who's the leader?" Bonnie asked.

"Me, for the time being." Hanna said. "Then it will pass to Claire when she's ready."

"But Claire isn't yours" Bonnie pointed out.

"But she's Noah's and Noah was the leader when he was married to me. I didn't want to be leader and my parents agreed to give him power over the coven. Noah was the strongest witch I ever saw. He was also a very good man." Hanna tells her.

"But what if Claire leaves Mystic Falls?" Bonnie asked. "Will you follow her?"

"If Claire decides to travel then she can do as she pleases. However, when she finally settles down and starts a family... a large family and gets serious about planting her roots and that place isn't Mystic Falls then yes, we will follow her." Hanna nods. "It's a choice though. Say my children don't want to follow her then we're not going to force them."

"That sounds... nice" Bonnie said. She wondered what it would be like to be apart of a coven like that. To have people have your back no matter what. Then she thinks about it. Claire's had her back, same with Caroline, Matt and Jeremy, even the Mikaelson's, and Jamie of course. They weren't a coven but it was enough for Bonnie.

"It is" Hanna smiles. "I'll call my siblings, explain the situation and let you know."

"Thank you" Bonnie said before leaving.

"I have a pineapple in my stomach" Claire complains laying on the couch, her head in Henrik's lap, her hands rubbing her stomach. Henrik grins and looks away from the book he was reading and down to his mate.

"Most people call it a baby" He points out. She gives him a full on glare. He bends down and kisses her forehead.

"We got in!" Caroline shouts racing into the house saving Henrik from Claire's moodiness. Claire struggles to sit up, Henrik helps her. Once she's sitting up she swats his hand away. Henrik smiles and rolls his eyes before going back to his book.

"What are you talking about?" Claire asked holding her hand out to her sister. Caroline helps Claire up off the couch.

"We got into Whitmore!" Caroline squeals. Claire frowns her eyebrows.

"Whitmore? I don't remember applying to Whitmore" Claire mutters.

"You didn't, I did" Caroline smirks. "I applied for both of us... You don't have to go but it's an option." Claire smiles lightly as she thinks about going to college. It certainly would be the normal route and Claire desperately needed normal.

"Thank you, Caroline" Claire smiles. Caroline nods and hands her the acceptance letter. Claire looks it over. "I never thought I'd be accepted anywhere even if I tried" Claire muttered. Her grades weren't nearly as good as Caroline's but obviously it was enough.

"You have a few weeks before you have to accept and sign up for classes" Caroline tells her. "But this will be good for us. Get us out of town, start our lives." Claire smiled and could see Caroline's excitement.

"I got in!" Bonnie shouted coming into the mansion.

"Did I mention Bonnie got in as well?" Caroline asked. Claire grinned as Bonnie and Jamie entered the room.

"We got our acceptance letters today" Bonnie said.

"So did we" Caroline grinned.

"Are you going?" Jamie asked looking at Claire.

"I don't know yet" Claire said shrugging. "I'd have to talk it over with my mates." Jamie nodded. "But congrats on getting in, all of you"

"All of us" Caroline corrected nudging her. Claire grinned but groans when her baby kicks her ribs.

"I cannot wait to get this baby out" Claire growled.

"Have a seat, Angel" Henrik said standing up. He gently grabs her hands and helps the 8 month pregnant woman sit.

"At least it'll be out before college, if you decide to go." Bonnie said looking on the bright side, Claire nods in agreement.

"I don't even know how I'm going to fit in my graduation gown" Claire grumbles.

"I'm sure their stretchy" Caroline shrugs while Bonnie sneaks off undetected. Claire gives her a look completely over this whole pregnant thing.

"Elijah, can I talk to you?" Bonnie said standing in the doorway of his study. He looks up and smiles at the witch.

"Of course, come in" He said standing up. He walks around his desk as Bonnie enters the room closing the door behind her. "May I offer you a drink?"

"Thanks but I'm alright" Elijah nods and motions for her to have a seat on the couch. The two of them sit comfortably. "I want to talk about Kol."

"What about him?" Elijah questions shifting in his spot.

"We're going to attempt to bring him back" Bonnie said. Elijah raised his eyebrows. "I talked to Hanna, she's going to talk to her brother and sister and hopefully the four of us can bring him back."

"When?" Elijah asked.

"Soon, before graduation." Bonnie said.

"Is there anything I can do?" Elijah asks.

"Not with the spell itself but with Kol. When we bring him back, he's going to be thirsty. We're going to be too weak to fend him off"

"Say no more" Elijah told her. "I'll be there and I'll control him, I'll protect you and the others." Bonnie relaxes and smiles at Elijah.

"Thank you" Bonnie said.

"No, thank you for bringing my brother back." Elijah said.

"It's the least I can do.. Claire needs him and besides, you and your brothers have killed people that have done less things to offend you than my father, yet you spare his life continuously. I appreciate it more than you know"

"Bonnie, you should know, the only reason he's alive is because of Claire, not our good hearts." Elijah warns her.

"I know but still" Bonnie said. Elijah nods and stands sensing the end of their conversation.

"Inform me when you're ready to do the spell and I shall be there" Elijah says. Bonnie smiles and nods before standing up and leaving the room.
