"Ok to reverse what you did to the painting so Elena's hand will hopefully heal" Freya said, before she chanted "Sanguinatum planicium. Sanguinatum planicium"

Jayme watched as the burnt part of the painting disappeared, as if it hadn't been touched at all.

"What was that spell called?" Jayme asked with fascination.

"That was a restoration spell and now I need you to write down what you said to Elena" Freya said.

Jayme wrote down what she had said to Elena and handed the piece of paper to Freya.

Phasmatos Somnus

"You used the knock out spell? What else did you say?" Freya asked, fearing that she wasn't be completely truthful.

"Nothing. That was all, so I could escape" Jayme said.

"I don't think you are being completely honest, because you managed to link the painting and Elena. Linking spells usually mean a link between two people, not a person and a painting. I'm going to try to reverse the link that somehow you created" Freya said giving Jayme a stern look.

Back in Kol's room Elena watched as her hand healed fairly quickly. Kol was relieved for that, but still worried what else the young witch Jayme had done and was unaware. He hoped she had a good memory to know what spells she screwed up so his sister could fix them. Nik and Elijah had went downstairs to get a drink and Rebekah stayed for awhile before joining their older brothers downstairs.

"Well at least she was caught and now Freya can work on reversing the spells that went astray" Elena said tiredly.

"True, I guess I wonder what else she has done that none of us are yet aware of. She used spells she knows nothing about love, and in the hands of an inexperienced witch could make them dangerous" Kol said looking at Elena.

"Do you think it was easy for her to link me to the painting beings I'm a doppelganger?" Elena asked him.

"Granted it does make certain spells easier with one, but Freya will get it figured out" Kol said with reassurance.

"I hope you're right" Elena said sitting on the side of the bed.

"Me too love" Kol whispered as he sat down next to her putting his arm around her.

Freya in all her life never had to reverse any spell until this young witch appeared out of nowhere. It seems Jayme was eager to learn but not understanding some spells could be extremely dangerous if done wrong.

"How long have you been out on your own?" Freya asked.

"About a year" she said sadly.

"What about your parents, where are they?" Freya probed.

"They died in a house fire that I accidently started with an ember spell, and then I couldn't put it out. They weren't supposed to be home yet.....afterwards I had no family that I knew of or that could be found to take me in. So a foster family took me in, really nice people...but fearing I could hurt them I left" Jayme said.

"That must be hard on you" Freya stated, not sure what to make of the girls story.

"It is. I live with it everyday knowing I was responsible. Why do spells I try do the opposite of what they are supposed to for me?" she asked looking at Freya.

"I don't know, it's something I will have to think on. Until then no more spells Jayme, they have consequences to them. Some hurt people and not even I can reverse it. Do you understand what I'm trying to say?" Freya asked her seriously.

"Yes, I promise no more spells" Jayme said.

Kol walked into Freya's craft room and when Jayme saw him she shrunk back as if trying to blend into the wall. She suspected he was the most dangerous of his vampire siblings and here she had accidently injured his very much human girlfriend. Kol looked at her briefly before looking back at his sister.

"So anything yet as far as the painting? Kol asked.

"Well I did the restoration spell that fixed the painting as you can see, so did Elena's hand heal?" Freya asked wanting to know.

"It did, I'm going to assume that you used the knock out spell that rendered Elena unconscious? Kol asked the witch who was trying to avoid looking at him.

"I did" she said in a small voice.

"Hmmm...anyways sister, Elena was wondering could the painting and her being linked somehow has to do with her being a doppelganger?" Kol asked.

"I keep forgetting that...it is possible. I will have to look through my papers, and if that is the case it should be easy to fix" Freya said.

"What is she going to be doing? Kol asked.

"She is going to stay right here and keep me company, if I have to stay up to fix this...so is she and no she isn't going to be doing any spells until I figure out why spells become a mess when she does them" Freya reassured her brother handing him the painting.

"That's a relief..no offense darling but you aren't a very good witch" Kol said as he left the room with the painting.
