Splitting Our Odds Into Evens

Protection and more Protecting

"We have a plan," Bonnie told them. Rebekah and Kol glanced at each other, puzzlement yet interest written all over their faces. "Davina is the only witch in the French Quarter Coven capable of physical contact with spirits. Therefore, I will have her cast a spell to completely cut them off from the physical world. This way, even if the coven doesn't kill Hope and me, the spirits will be unable to intervene. Then all we have to deal with are the real-life witches who are constantly a pain in the ass."

"What are the chances that Davina will help us?" Rebekah asked.

"Like a hundred out of a hundred. Davina hates her coven with a passion," Bonnie said.

"In our last encounter, she made it very clear that she hardly cared about getting them out of Marcel's hands," Kol said, leaning against the wall.

"Look, I know the plan is to kill them, but not everyone in our coven is some evil, old witch. Many of us don't want any part in disintegrating innocent people," Sophie said, arms crossed.

"Honestly, I don't plan on killing any of them. Maybe we could try talking things out -" Bonnie began.

Kol cut her off. "There's no such thing as talking things out with the witches. Once they have their mind set on something, you know they'll do it."

Suddenly, Hayley, Klaus, and Elijah descended the stairs. Klaus with a packed duffle bag in his hand and Hope held in Hayley's arms. "I'm taking Hope to my pack. She's safe with them."

"Despite what the wolves may think of me, Hope is not hated. Since the day she was born, they have sworn to protect her. So long as it means my daughter is protected, I will take her there." Klaus said, then dropped the duffel bag on the ground.

Bonnie raised a hand. "Wait, we have a plan."

Klaus's brows furrowed. "Dare I ask?"

"There's not much time to explain, but I'll need you guys to trust me," Bonnie said. She walked to the door, and Kol followed behind her.

"Bonnie, you can't just go after them. You're one against an entire coven. They'll kill you," Hayley mentioned.

Kol shrugged, "They won't try it as long as I'm there with her."

Hayley extended her neck in shock. "You're going too?"

Kol scoffed, "You didn't think I'd leave her to go by herself, did you?"

"You guys shouldn't be doing this alone. It's too risky. Perhaps, another witch would be better off following them," Klaus said, eyes pinned on Sophie as his hand gestured to the door.

"Don't worry about us, brother. We'll be fine," Kol assured him.

"And so will Hope because no one here will be able to leave and no one outside of here will be able to enter," Bonnie said.

"Wait," Klaus said. His voice lowered as he came to realize. "What does she mean by that?" He knew what she meant but hoped it wasn't true. Klaus pulled the handles of the commode. When they opened, a force struck him. Bonnie had put a barrier spell on the entire house, preventing them from leaving.

Elijah smirked. "Bonnie Bennett has done it again."

They arrived at Marcel's house. The two looked at each other before making their next move. They never imagined coming to Marcel for help. Well, not his, but they would need his approval.

"So, do we just knock?" Bonnie asked, not sure what to do. She could see him raising his fist to knock on the door. "No. Kol, don't-" but it was already too late. Bonnie threw her head back in annoyance.
