"So, I was right," he attracted the youngest half-Cretan's attention, her cheeks immediately gaining a faint pink colour. "That I sensed a different aura coming off of you. The doppelgänger being my soulmate?" And then, just like that, he started laughing and turned to face Elena. "No offence, sweetheart."

"None taken-" Although her initial tone was insulting, her plans were altered when she realized she didn't know the Original's name.

"Kol Mikaelson," smirked the vampire, in certainty, coming to stand in front of Lydia, who tormented her bottom lip under her teeth. "The hottest of the Mikaelsons and the soulmate of young Lydia as we all came to learn."

"Wait, what!?" Shrieked Caroline. "Seriously!?"

"He's joking, right?" Victoria quietly addressed Alexandra from Mason's embrace - the shake of her head causing a wide eye-locking between her and her hybrid boyfriend.

"Oh, you have got to be kidding me!"

All eyes turned to Damon, who was obviously uncomfortable with the whole 'soulmates' thing that was going on between the Mikaelsons and the Bloodwoods.

"The last thing we need to hear next, is that Klaus is Nathaniel's soulmate!" His sarcastic remark caused everyone to roll their eyes.

Said Original went to attack, only for his siblings to hold him back while the eldest half-Cretan stepped closer to the Salvatore firstborn and narrowed his eyes at him before leaning forward and stating, "Gabriel left you permanent marks on your neck, Damon." He silently growled, making the vampire gulp audibly. "Keep saying things like that, and I'll remove your manhood from your body. Have I made myself clear?"

The Salvatore male blinked a few times and shifted in his seat. "Crystal."

In the hopes that he would not actually dismember Damon, Rose cleared her throat to attract the Nephilim's attention. The Bloodwood heir, however, ignored her, his gaze fixed on the terrified raven-haired vampire.

"Jenna," whispered Alaric, his eyes closing in an attempt to maintain his composure. "My pills."

His girlfriend rolled her eyes at his exaggeration, putting her boyfriend's best friend and her future nephew out of her mind for the moment. "You're not taking any pills, Ric. You even refused to take the ones Meredith prescribed for you."

"Then, I'll start today," he shook his head and sat on the couch again, covering his eyes with his hand. "Not only did I have the souls of two of my sister's children linked to two Original Vampires, but now I will have Lydia's too!?!?"

"Oh, I give you my word, future Uncle of my siblings and I," Kol smiled deviously, looking more and more thrilled about the whole thing. "that I shall protect my soulmate with my life if I must."

Alaric gave him a fierce look, which made the Original's smile grow.

"Lydia," Alexandra drew everyone's attention back to her. "Why don't you show everyone here, what has truly occurred between you and Esther the previous night?"

The youngest Nephilim came to stand beside her cousin, nodding her head and moving away from Kol. "Don't mind if I do."

"Wait, how is she going to show us what happened?" Asked Stefan, with folded arms.
