"Live with me. Grow with me. Let's figure it out together."

-Scarlett Cole

 "Sounds like witches, brother." Kol's voice was heard on the other end of the line. Klaus, Elijah and Penelope had come home shortly after seeing the crime scene and while on the way home, Penelope ended up throwing up somewhere in the bayou; so  when they got home she instantly went upstairs to shower. Now the three of them were in the living room, Klaus and Elijah were standing as Elijah held his phone out and Penelope was curled up in the corner of the couch with her favorite throw blanket. Her hair was still wet from the shower, and it was soaking threw one of Elijah's t-shirts she decided to wear.

"Could this be about..." Elijah started, then cut himself off. Elijah and Penelope hadn't told Rebekah or Klaus about their bond, and honestly Elijah wanted to keep it that way.

"I think it's exactly what it's about," Kol answered, then he let out a long sigh. "Honestly, I think Penny-love should come back, at least for the time being."

"No!" Penelope exclaimed, glaring at Elijah's phone. Elijah sighed and gave her a look, silently pleading her to not argue. Klaus stood there, with his arms crossed over his chest with a confused expression on his face. "I'm not leaving!"

"Penelope," Elijah sighed, closing his eyes.

"NO!" Penelope argued. "You can't keep bouncing me from house to house! It's not fair to me, Elijah!"

"You've only just arrived, you have no friends yet," Klaus spoke up while rolling his eyes. "You've been complaining about being here the past two days, now you have a chance to go home and you don't want to!"

"I was mad because I was being forced to leave my home for you because you pissed someone off! I was forced to cancel my wedding, give up where I wanted to get married at for you!" Penelope snapped, glaring at Klaus. It was silent in the living room for a minute as the tension began to build between the three of them. "And now that I've accepted living here, I'm being forced to leave again! I'm not leaving."

"Penelope, please," Elijah began, giving her a pleading look.

"Yes, Penelope, please, just come back here until the witches are dead-"

"And who the hell are you to tell me what to do?!" Penelope snapped at Kol, glaring at Elijah's phone. "You refuse to speak to me because for some reason you feel guilty!"

"I feel guilty because if it wasn't for this bloody thing, you would have never gotten hurt! The thing I wanted to give you was about this stupid...thing." Kol admitted and Penelope let out a long sigh.

"What the bloody hell is this 'thing'?!" Klaus exclaimed but Elijah and Penelope shared a look.

"I'll call you later, Kol...thank you." Elijah sighed as he hung up the phone before turning back to Penelope. Penelope shook her head as she threw the blanket off her and stomped out of the room. "Penelope!" Elijah called as he followed after her.

"No! I'm not going!" She exclaimed.

"Penelope, stop-"

"Don't you dare tell me to stop being childish Elijah!" Penelope snapped at him as she ran up the stairs.

"Stop being unreasonable!" He corrected her as he followed her.

"Unreasonable?!" She shouted, turning to him with a fierce glare. "I'm being unreasonable?!"
