"Malum Solve" Esther's voice echoed. "The link is complete. You are one"

That's what everyone heard as a bright light swallowed them whole.

"Malum Solve."

Kol was lucky, his neck was already snapped; it wasn't his fault Elijah didn't appreciate his humour. Either way he awoke lying on a itchy black carpet, one Nik would never in his life even think of buying. With a large wall filled with different sweets, hot buttery popcorn almost over flowing

"The link is complete."

Bonnie was in a similar position, she was asleep. Bright fluorescent lights shone directly into her eyes as she flinched awake

"Need a hand, darling"

Bonnie took it. Her head spun, blood lingered on her tongue, her stomach was in knots. This had to be another dream, a dream those horrid witches on the other side use to play with her.

She placed her hand on Kol's chest to steady herself, her voice heavy with sleep, "What happened?"

"Your guess is as good as mine"

"You are one"

Alaric gasped awake... Again. Massaging his neck, he couldn't believe, well he could, But he died again. Murdered. The Gilbert/Bennett ring glistened underneath the yellow tinted light, it almost blinded him

Neither Bonnie or Kol went to help him up, in fact, Kol looked down right murderous. Alaric didn't care, he just crawled into a corner with his head in his hands; something was off with him

"Malum Solve."

Bonnie paid more attention on the slushy machine than Kol, who cackled like a stereotypical witch, watching his siblings appear. Falling, stumbling, landing on each other.

"Really, Bekah?" Kol hissed like an angry cat.

Damon smirked mockingly, "Shall we have another round"

Rebekah sighed tiredly when Kol sped Damon into a wall, bashing his head repeatedly into it

"You are one"

"Ah, yes. Just ignore the rest of us"

"Get off me you dog" Periwinkle wheezed underneath Niklaus

"And here I thought we were friends, love"

"Perhaps we can be," Peri hissed, while not so gently shoving him. "When you get the fuck off me!!!"

He let out a manly squeak when she accidentally kneed him

"The link is complete."

Stefan groaned; he broke his nose. He was so embarrassed.

"Stefan?!"

He groaned louder, "please tell me no one else saw"

Bonnie slurped obnoxiously loud on her alarmingly blue slushy, "If not, I'll tell everyone"
