"What's going on with you two?" Bonnie asked.
"Tyler was found" Elena said.
"Well that's a good thing right? Uh-oh it's not a good thing" Bonnie said when she saw the looks on her two best friends faces.
"Klaus left it up to us on what to do with him" Caroline said worriedly.
"Do what with him exactly? You don't plan on letting Klaus kill Tyler...do you?" Bonnie whispered.
"No, of course not. We are trying to figure out how just to get him to leave town" Caroline said.
"Do you think he will?" she asked.
"We hope so, otherwise if he does something stupid again we won't be able to help him" Elena said.
"Sounds like I missed a lot being gone, can't one of them compel him...unless he has a lot of vervain in his system" Bonnie said.
"He does, he must have an unlimited supply hidden somewhere. But it should be wearing off if it hasn't already" Caroline said hoping the latter was true.
"Do you think Klaus will let Tyler go if you two tell him that is what you want?" Bonnie asked looking at her two friends.
"That's the plan, but as we all know plans seem to never work" Elena said skeptically.
"Us girls can dream...right?" Caroline questioned with a slight smile.
"Yes we can, there's the bell" Bonnie said as they headed to history class.
The three girls sat in class barely listening to the teacher, they just wanted the day to be over so they hopefully send Tyler on his way out of Mystic Falls. Elena wasn't sure how Kol would take their decision and she hoped he would understand. Caroline knew Klaus would stand by the decision even though he wouldn't be happy about it. Bonnie wished none of this was happening to them, danger seemed to be attracted to them. Granted it hadn't helped when Klaus had set his sights on Caroline while Kol went from hating Elena to becoming her boyfriend. Finally the bell rang bringing them out of their train of thought.
"I'm headed home, unless you need me" Bonnie said not wanting to step foot in the Mikaelson mansion.
"We'll be fine, I imagine you've missed home. Besides you're still wrapping your head around the whole Kol and Elena thing...Klaus, me whatever it is" Caroline said as if she could read her friends mind.
"Yeah I have and being around all of them at once would be a bit overwhelming" Bonnie said with a relieved smile.
"We'll talk to you later Bon" Elena said smiling as she got into Caroline's car.
They talked about the day at school and how close graduation was. But in the back of both their minds was how Klaus and Kol were going to react on their decision to let Tyler go. As they approached the house, they both looked at each other with a look of dread but knew they had to get it over with.
"I am so not looking forward to this, I hope Klaus doesn't lose his temper like he is prone to do" Caroline said kind of worried on his reaction.
"It will be fine, otherwise he shouldn't have left the decision to us" Elena reasoned with confidence.
"You know what? You are absolutely right" Caroline said with a giggle as they got out of the car.
Once they both got to the front door their bravado was slipping away, with one last look at each other they entered the house. They both headed towards to the living room and their steps slowed as they got closer.
"Well girls have you made a decision?" Nik said from behind them making them both jump and turn to look at him. They knew he had done it on purpose as the all to well know Mikaelson smirk was plastered on his face.
"We have" Caroline said with as much courage she could muster and giving Elena a worried look.
"I'm going to take it from the looks on your faces, you have chosen to let Tyler go? Just know he attempts anything again neither of you will have a say" he said, knowing full well they would let Tyler go.
"We want him to leave Mystic Falls too" Elena said as Kol walked out of the living room towards her.
"Ah...well it's settled then. Shall we go down to tell Tyler the good news" Nik said.
As Caroline, Elena and Kol followed Nik down into the cellar. Caroline hoped he would take the offer and leave town. Kol wasn't anymore thrilled with the girls offer than Nik was, but his brother made the decision to let them decide. He personally wanted to rip Tyler's arms off to prevent any future issues but he knew Elena would not approve. It was bad enough he still had to tell her about Damon's part in all this.
"We brought you some guests Tyler, hope your night was a pleasant one" Nik smirked.
"It was superb" Tyler said sarcastically.
"So do you have anything to say for yourself before we tell you what we decided to do with you?" Caroline asked.
"I wanted to say I'm sorry Caroline for biting you to just get back at him and Elena I'm sorry for believing Damon, he had me fooled" Tyler said and realizing from the look on Elena's face she had no idea what he was referring to.
"What does Damon have to do with all this?" she asked with a puzzled look on her face.
"Love what Tyler is trying to say is....Damon put him up to taking you. He planned to come to the rescue, compel you to turn against me. Only we got there before he did" Kol said as he saw the hurt fill her eyes with the realization of Damon's betrayal.
"So Damon wanted you to kidnap me, thinking I would take him back?" she asked, her anger towards Damon building.
"I'm so sorry Elena" Tyler said hoping she would forgive him for his part in helping Damon.
"We decided to let you go Tyler on one condition...move away from Mystic Falls...at least for awhile" Caroline said as Kol and Nik were unchaining him.
"I can do that" he said as Elena and Caroline headed upstairs.
"If by chance on your way out of town you happen by the Salvatores give Damon our best will you" Nik said.
"Kol? I'm sorry for the part I played with Damon. I believed him" Tyler said.
"What made you change your mind that I hadn't compelled her?" Kol asked him.
"I saw how you two looked at each other, and when I overheard you talking last night. I know now that you would do anything for her" Tyler stated as they got to the top of the stairs.
"I thank you for that, best be on your way before Nik changes his mind" Kol said. Tyler nodded with one last look at Elena and Caroline as he shut the front door closed.
Kol knew Elena was extremely upset and from the look on Caroline's face she knew what Damon had done also. He stood there looking at her and her back at him with out saying a word, Caroline realizing they needed alone time to talk she headed towards the living room.
"I'm sorry I didn't tell you about Damon's part" Kol said wishing the pain in her eyes wasn't there.
"I know and I'm not upset with you. I'm upset with Damon for making me believe he had accepted us together" she said as she walked up to stand in front of him taking his hands in hers and looking up at him.
"I'm sorry that he hurt you...want me rip his arms off so you can beat him with them?" Kol said in a teasing manner.
"Could you imagine the look on his face getting beat with his own arms?" she asked as she then started to laugh.
"I'm sure it would be one of disbelief" Kol chuckled as he guided her up the stairs. Once they had gotten to his bedroom door he turned to face her putting both his hands on either side of her face and kissed her.
