01. Growing Pains

Bonnie stood in the Lockwood's underground cave, looking down at Klaus's burnt up body.

"It's beautiful, isn't it?" Klaus, still in Tyler's body, asked, walking over to the Bennett witch.

"What is that doing here, Klaus?" a confused Bonnie asked, "The deal we made with Tyler was that you'd leave his body and jump into someone else's the first chance you got".

"Yes, when I assumed I'd be a pile of ash" Klaus clarified, walking over to his body, "But apparently fate and oxygen intervened, and there I am, put me back".

"I can't right now" Bonnie stated.

"Your history teacher outed Tyler and Caroline to the council" Klaus reminded, "They're on a warpath and this body's vulnerable".

"I have to help Elena before she has to feed" Bonnie protested.

"Elena's dead and no longer my concern" Klaus retorted.

"You're forgetting who just saved your life" an annoyed Bonnie reminded.

Klaus wrapped his hand around Bonnie's throat and started choking her, "You're forgetting I can rip your tongue out, now put me back".

"If I can keep Elena human, you'll still have an endless blood supply to make your hybrids, isn't that what you really want?" Bonnie negotiated, having trouble speaking with Klaus's hand still wrapped around her throat.

Klaus glared at Bonnie for a second before finally letting her go, the Bennett witch quickly turned around and tried to walk away from the original hybrid but he used his speed to come infront of her again, "Same rules apply" he reminded, "No one knows, no one, do you understand me, Bonnie?".

Bonnie nodded her head, knowing it was in her best interest to do whatever Klaus was asking, going against him right now wasn't going to benefit anyone.

Elijah stood by Lily's door at the Forbes house and watched as the werewolf packed her bag.

"Are you sure you don't want to stay here?" Elijah asked, wanting to make sure Lily was a hundred percent sure about her decision of leaving town with him.

Lily looked at Elijah and shook her head, "I can't stay here Elijah, this town has nothing left in it for me".

"What about your mother and sister?" Elijah asked.

"Alaric has outed all the supernatural creatures in Mystic Falls to the council, because of which mom herself has been telling both me and Caroline to leave town" Lily replied, "And if I don't leave town with you today, I don't know where else to go, I can't stay here with these people, and Klaus is gone and I'm still having a very hard time coming to terms with it".

As tears started to well in Lily's eyes, Elijah stepped forward and pulled the emotional werewolf into a comforting hug, promising himself that no matter what, he will always be there for her.

While Lily packed the rest of her stuff, Elijah decided to go check on Rebekah. After making sure everything was packed, Lily grabbed her bags and stepped out of her room, after giving her room one last glance, the emotional werewolf closed the door and started walking towards the front door when her phone started ringing, taking it out of her pocket, Lily realised her mother was calling her.
