Toni must leave her hometown on what she thinks is a wild goose chase. Kai returns with yet another surprise. Damon and Bonnie remember when times were hopelessand Kol and Hayley get an opportunity to wield magic once again.


AN: This chapter is called Knockin on Heaven's Door because there is the annoying Kai Parker version here! It made me laugh and cringe so much.

I wanted to show how Kol wasn't the only one with out of control emotions over the sudden departure over his love.

Toni's POV

Weeks ago

Toni had no idea who the three glowing beauties were but she decided she'd ask those questions later when they eventually rendezvous again. So many questions were swirling through her mind, like why was it up to her find Archie, how the fuck would she find him when it had been three years already, and why couldn't she tell anyone? All she needed was her bag and her cellphone, being no stranger to living in the wind before.

She grabbed her shit and rushed outside and into her backyard, nearly tripping over a body that was laying there. "Jughead?"

The young man in question sat up in a daze. "Toni?"

"Are you ok?" She asked.

"You're pink," his eyes washed over her in disbelief. "and you smell great. Why do you smell so good?" He leaned in uncomfortably close to inhale more of her scent.

"Stop. Jug, what are you doing here?" Toni asked after she shoved him away.

"Oh, I just came to... uh," he blinked in confusion. "I came by because... I don't know. Something weird is going on. Do you wanna go to Pop's? Maybe we can figure it out over some coffee,"

"Actually, I need to bounce but I'll catch up with you later, ok?"

"Oh, let me guess. You and Cheryl?" He asked with a knowing smile.

Toni stared at him for a moment. Jughead didn't seem to remember the verbal sparring that had taken place hours prior, mentioning Cheryl so casually, as if she weren't a steady-growing rival.

"Yes," Toni said flatly. "And uh, you have a date with Betty. In fact, you're late!"

"Dammit, I'm late?!"

"I'd hurry. She'll be worried but she'll understand. She loves you," Toni assured him.

Toni waited until he left before she dug into her secret stash of cash in the potted plants, framing the back patio. Racing back to the front of the house, she saw flashes of light illuminating her home again. She wasted no time starting the engine on her motorcycle. As the engine roared to life, Toni took a deep breath, theorizing this could be the last time she saw home. Unfortunately, this wasn't the memory of home she wanted burned into her subconscious. 

Determined to finally get to the bottom of this mysterious prophecy that appeared to be unfolding anyway, she took one last look at her house before she rode off into the night, stopping only once at a rest stop in Greendale to make a call.
