Maeve smiled wide while answering the call with a cheerful tone, "This is a fine morning I'd say...being graced by the call of the blonde beauty herself."

"You are famous!" came Caroline's voice screaming over the speaker.

"I don't know about being famous but sure I have some fame to my name these days."

"There's a Lycan in my psych class and when I told him that I knew a Lycan and that was you, he all but stayed calm. He went into this hysterical state and is avoiding me ever since!" Caroline revealed to Maeve. Maeve chuckled inaudibly at the story.

"I am sorry Caroline that my quest to world domination has prevented you from making a new friend."

"Geez, you sound exactly like Klaus? Is everything okay?"

"I think I'm having imposter syndrome. Anyways...all's actually never been better. I'm about to, do something that has never been done before and I am showing the world who Maeve Kalon truly is."

"Tell me everything." over the hefty breakfast of Bacon sandwich and a cup of freshly brewed coffee, Maeve sat at her desk in the office telling Caroline all of her time over the summer, and until that very morning.

"Holy shit! That all happened? Holy shit. You are badass."

"Thank you. Now, how are you classess going? And the relationship with the petty incorrigible Tyler?"

"That's over, Maeve. We broke up. Officially." Caroline informed her with a deep sigh. Maeve sat up in her chair, surprised to hear her.

"Ar...are you serious? Ho..wh...when did you do it?"

"He said that the only thing left in his life is revenge against Klaus."

Maeve's facial expression turned deadly blank, enough to make anyone immediately run for the hills. "He said what?"

"Maeve, don't. Okay? He's not worth it."

"I know he's worth nothing but please..." she bit her tongue, "Care... I'm so sorry. Its not right."

"Well it's over now. My classes are going great by the way." Caroline began to tell in detail about the classess she was taking at the Whitmore college. Maeve let her talk, distract herself from the clear heartbreak she felt due to Tyler.

"God! You make me miss college." Maeve said. A knock at the door broke her small laughs, "just a minute Caroline....yes?"

The door opened to reveal Maverick. He held up a piece of parchment, showing it to Maeve. "Hey, I've got the list." he revealed.

"Listen Care, we'll talk later, okay? I need to be somewhere." with final goodbyes, she ended the call.

"Get in and close the door." she instructed the man. "Are you sure this will work?"

Maverick closed the door and approached the desk. "Take me for a fool, do you?" he handed Maeve the list letting her run her eyes over it herself.

Several questions clouded his mind ever since she first reached out to him a few days ago about the unlinking spell and mentioned the name 'Mikaelson'. He couldn't help but wonder why she was so quick to help the family...especially after what he had heard.

"Nik and Rebekah and Kol, all three of them acted against their usual expected behavior. Always. They showed up, Maverick. When they didn't have to."

"Did something happen? I mean...other than the prophecy?"

Maeve sighed before she began, "The Mystic falls gang...when they found out who I actually am, started to treat me differently. Nik was the first one to notice how I was being manipulated into doing their work. He treated me better than anyone. Same goes for Beks and Kolbear."
