Salvatore Boarding House

Colden, Damon, and Stefan are waiting outside the boarding House

"You really think Bonnie can take on Klaus?" Damon asked

"Not really" Colden mumbled texting

Stefan glared, "She said she could channel enough witch's power to kill him. Elijah thought that would work and he was an Original, so..."

"We just need to find him" Damon said

Colden sighed and put down his phone, "You don't find Klaus he finds you"

"Sounds like you" Damon replied with then looked out "Do you think he killed her?"

"Katherine?" Stefan asked "Probably"

"If it were me I wouldn't" Colden shrugged

Elena opens the door with the lawyer

"Thank you, Mr. Henry"

the three of them walks to the threshold

"I'm sorry" Elena said "I completely forgot"

she looks at Stefan then Colden

"Stefan, Colden. Would you like to come inside my house?"

Colden smirked and walked in grabbing his bad and leaving again

Mystic Falls High

Colden walks into the history class late Alaric just looks at him

"I would say I'm sorry for being late but I'm not" the class laughs "Oh, by the way, Ric. I didn't do that assignment from last night"

then takes a seat in his usual one between Elena and Bonnie

Alaric sighs, "What are we learning today?"

"With the decade dance tonight, we've been covering the sixties all week" one of the humans -- Dana -- said

"Right. The sixties"

his eyes go to Elena staring for awhile before doing the same to Colden

"The, uh, ahem..."

he writes on the board

"The sixties. I wish there was something good I could say about the sixties, but...Actually, they kind of sucked. Except for the Beatles, of course. They made it bearable. Uh, what else was there? The Cuban missile thing, the...we walked on the moon. There was Watergate."

"Watergate was the seventies, Ric" Elena said then everyone stared "I-I mean, Mr. Saltzman"

"It's alright, Elena" Colden smirked "Ric doesn't mind, right, Ric"

the man doesn't say anything

Colden furrowed his eyebrows

"Right" Alaric said "It all kinds of mushes together up here, the sixties, seventies. Thank you, Elena"

when class is over Colden stays behind

"You good, Alaric?"

"Ya, why wouldn't I be"

"Well" he sighed "We fight in class, it's our thing. Except today you're not doing that. Normally, I don't care about your pathetic human life but Caroline does"

right at that Caroline comes skipping in with the most radiant smile and kisses him

"What was that for?"

"Because I love you" she giggled "We're still going to the dance as JFK and Jacqueline, right"

"Yes"

"Perfect"

Colden looks back at Alaric, "See you later"

Salvatore Boarding House

Bonnie, Colden, Damon, Elena, and Stefan are in the sitting room

"So we go to the dance, we find him" Damon said

"Really? How are we going to do that? We don't even know what he looks like"

"curly dirty blonde hair, dark blue eyes, tallish" Colden said

"You know what he looks like?" Stefan asked "How"

"I just do"

there's a knock at the door. Alaric enters

"There you are" Damon said "Guess what, Colden knows what this Klaus guy looks like"

"It's not a big deal" Colden said

they all glower at him

"Sorry, I'm late" Alaric said

"I need you to put me down as a chaperone at the dance tonight." Damon instructed "Klaus made his first move"

"Okay, so we find him and then what, hmm?" Elena asked "What's our plan of attack?"

"Me" Bonnie said "I'm the plan. He has no idea how much power I can channel. If you can find him, I can kill him"

"And kill yourself in the process" Colden finishes "No witch channels that much power and lives through it. Also, what happens if he's using others to do his dirty work? Or what happens if he's in someone else body. You'll kill yourself doing that and then Klaus will still be here. Look, just follow my lead and we'll be fine"

everyone is looking at Bonnie

"Is that true" Elena asked "channeling this much power will kill you"

Bonnie looks then finally sighs, "There is a chance"

"Then it's not happening" Elena said turning to Colden "What do you have in mind"

"Honestly, he's not gonna do anything to Elena until the full moon. I've already got a plan going so if you see him tell him to come find me. Just stay out of his way and I'll deal with it"

Alaric's Residence

Katherine is still in the chair. Her leg has blood all over it. She still has the knife in her hand.

Alaric/Klaus speaks, "Ah, you're right. This witch is all juiced up and aiming to kill"

"That's terrible"

the warlock is in the kitchen

"Except, my son talked her out of doing it. He apparently has his own plan"

"That sounds like him" Katherine said

he opens a drawer

"Do you think this Alaric guy has anything vintage?" Alaric/Klaus asked

he looks at the shirt and sees that there's something under. He opens it and sees a lot of weapons to kill vampires.

"Crossbows, wooden bullets and automatics? Who is this guy, again?"

"He's the local vampire hunter" Katherine said

"Ahh. Well, that explains the clothing"

Maddox holds out a glass of bourbon

"All I could find. Guy likes his bourbon. I did find one that said for Colden but it was laced with vervain"

Alaric/Klaus chuckles, "I need to meet my son"
