"Everybody, take a seat, please, my name is Miss Aria Connor and I'll be teaching your class today".

"Ugh!" Brayden yelled in pain as Sloan tried to use him to find the other female soulmate from Amara's bloodline.

"Her name is Aria Connor, I heard that much" Sloan informed, "Come on, Brayden, I need your help with the link, tell me what you see, tell me where to find the other female soulmate from Amara's bloodline".

"Atlanta International School" Brayden breathed out, finally seeing where Aria was teaching.

"Good" Sloan said, finally stopping her spell on Brayden, "Now your friends can go kill her".

Caroline sat with Enzo at a cafe when her phone started ringing, glancing at it, she realised Sloan was calling, however before Caroline could answer, Enzo grabbed her phone.

"Atlanta Assassination Squad" Enzo answered, as Caroline glared at him, "How may we be of service?".

"I take it you haven't located the soulmate yet?" Sloan asked.

"You told us to find a nameless teacher at a city full of schools, fried green tomatoes and terrible drivers, it's not exactly as easy as it sounds" Enzo replied.

"Which is why I'm calling, the soulmate's name is Aria Connor" Sloan revealed, "And I just saw her at Atlanta International School".

"She saw her?" a furious Caroline asked, "She did the vision thing again?", Caroline snatched her phone from Enzo's hands, "We had a deal, I find the last female soulmate from Amara's bloodline--".

"--Aria" Sloan informed.

"Aria" Caroline repeated, "I take care of Aria, and in return, you stop using Brayden to psychically soul-bomb him, because everytime you link the two, you're frying Brayden's brain".

"I don't give a damn about his brain, it's his blood that matters" Sloan said, "And until Brayden and Kaitlynn are the last soulmates from Silas and Amara's bloodline, their blood is useless to me, so you bet I will give Brayden a back alley lobotomy if you fail to kill Aria Connor".

"Well, I don't fail at things, so do it again and I'll kill you too" Caroline threatened, before hanging up on Sloan.

"I'll kill you too" an amused Enzo repeated, "Like a perky blond angel of death, almost had me convinced".

After speaking to the school receptionist, Caroline made her way back over to where Enzo was sitting, "So the receptionist doesn't know Aria personally but I compelled her to call someone who does".

"Okay, I give up, I can't tell if you're avoiding the mission or me" Enzo said, after Caroline grabbed a magazine to keep herself busy.

"Why can't it be both?" Caroline asked, her eyes stuck on the magazine.

"Because I've earned some company after hand delivering the antidote that kept Damon and Kaitlynn from consuming each other, literally" Enzo stated.
