Finally, it was time for the big pageant and large floats the festival was here Braelyn was excited to see the final product of Caroline's outfit. The blonde had refused to eat until the dress was on and Braelyn understood "Let's get your corset and crinoline on and then we will worry about you eating". With Jenna's help, they managed to get the undergarments all on while Caroline sighed "I feel sorry for Katherine now". Jenna, hearing it laughed and nodded along "Well I suppose she was unfortunately used to it."
The women grew silent as they began to pity the vampire. Then Braelyn sighed and turned to the garment bag she had brought with her "Now your outfit is not as historically accurate as I would like but it's the best I can do" The dress was cream and white with pearl decoration and a choker both women gasped as Braelyn carefully took the dress out of the bag and smiled at Caroline. "Ready to look like a princess" Caroline smiled and nodded.
The two women carefully helped the blonde into the gown once the gown was on Jenna gasped softly "Oh Caroline you look beautiful" The blonde smiled and then turned to Braelyn who handed her a box and helped her sit down before they hiked up her dress and the other pieces "Jenna can you help her with the boots I need to finish up her hair.
An hour later Caroline was dressed and fully prepared to get on her float Oryn was next to her in a wonderfully accurate outfit that he got from a friend. It took a while, but Braelyn watched on with a bright smile as her cousin and beloved stood on the float getting photos taken of them. Bonnie stood not far from her coven leader staring at Caroline with a bright smile. The blonde was beautiful and looked genuinely happy, then she glanced at Elena and suddenly felt heavy and swayed.
A heavy hand steadied her as she felt the heavy aura disperse Elion stood behind her glaring in Elena's direction. "Are you okay cousin" Bonnie nodded but looked alarmed "W-what was that?". The man glanced at her and seemed to be staring into her soul "Did she give you any jewellery" He watched as Bonnie pulled off a bracelet with shaking hands when Elion grabbed it his magic instantly destroyed it.
"Let's go home" Bonnie now leaning heavily on her cousin nodded as the two left. Braelyn glanced at them before gazing at Caroline who gave her a small nod and mouthed for her to go take care of her family. Braelyn turned and dashed after them by the time she caught up they were in a secluded grove and Bonnie was having a panic attack.
Her magic was lashing out while protecting her, Braelyn slowly walked over and winced her younger sister without their ancestors at the level she was at could take down a full coven of at least 20 witches with her raw power. With a gentle hand, she pushed her magic into Bonnie's calming the young witch down as she slumped into her sister's embrace.
It was a sift but hoarse whisper "I hate her." Braelyn ran her hands through her younger sister's hand and softly hummed a familiar song. Once Bonnie fell asleep, she gazed at Elion "Explain" he winced and handed over the remains of the bracelet "How long has she been wearing this" Elion glanced at Braelyn with pity "Seven probably eight years". Braelyn nodded and picked up her sister's petite frame that her magic was now remedying "A witch made this, I want to know who it was and how she managed to bind a Bennett to a doppelganger without not one of us sensing the magical interference. After you find out who did this and how, kill them"
Elion nodded and walked over to his motorcycle, his pet stood nearby his helmet in her hands before she gave Braelyn a nod of respect and left with her master. Braelyn did not like sirens much, but Elion's partner had taken a vow to never ensnare or bewitch anyone who had Bennett's blood or was involved with the Bennett coven, so she allowed the girl access to their home. She had grown to admire the girl so she would trust her with Elion's safety.
Now she waited in a few hours she would see if her spell worked. Sadira walked over to where Braelyn stood with her unconscious sister and looked blankly in the direction of the celebration "Caroline Forbes, Jenna Sommers and Jeremy Gilbert ensure they stay safe." Sadira nodded and slinked off in the direction of the celebration.
She did not turn around when she noticed the shadows devouring the woman and her unconscious sister. She already knew it was Braelyn's magic and she used it to teleport to the family home. Braelyn wanted any supernaturals to know that she was the predator and that they should fear her. Sadira glanced behind her and noticed that they were gone now she could begin her duties.
Caroline's outfit for the float.
