Original Sin

Chapter 13

Monique's only response was to lift her hands at Kol and chant, after a few seconds she frowned and restarted her chant frowning again.

Kol laughed, "your mojo has no effect on me, I have been spelled against witch attacks. Now tell me, what did Mikael tell you to do?"

Monique's eyes widened, "How do you know about Mikael."

Kol smirked, "that's easy, my name is Kol Mikaelson, I am his son. And father has been up to no good, as usual. Now answer my question, we can do this the easy way or the hard way, your choice."

Monique exhaled resignedly, "fine, I'll tell you. But I want you to promise that you won't harm me."

Kol raised a brow, "I don't really think you are in a position to negotiate with me, let's hear what Mikael told you to do first shall we."

Monique backed away from Kol until she had the wall to her back and Kol just a step into her personal space. Monique lifted her face to look at Kol for a moment, then looked away before responding, "Mikael made a deal with my ancestors. Mikael promised my ancestors that he was the only one who could kill all the surviving Originals, promised to rid New Orleans of all of the vampires and reestablish the witches as ruler of supernaturals in the Quarter. Genevieve was the contact here, They had spelled me, bound me to Mikael, but only partially. Only so that I could sense if another witch was messing with Mikael. I sensed he become weak, I was to help him in anyway I could."

Kol placed both his hands on the wall on either side of Monique's face, "and what exactly where you planning to do, love."

Monique pushed against Kol, and Kol allowed himself to be pushed away as she took a few steps away from him, "I was trying to fight to spell against Mikael, or at least that was what i was about to do before you interrupted me. What you did, you only weakened him and maybe broke the binding spell with that young vampire he was bound to, but if you think you can kill him, you won't succeed. There is only one way you can kill him. The ancestors planned the whole thing with Genevieve, too bad she didn't see Mikael double crossing her and kill her in the end."

Kol lifted his hand and gestured, "elaborate."

Monique looked at Kol, "I can't."

Kol flashed to Monique and grabbed her by the neck, "I will give you one last time to answer me love," pressing down on her windpipe.

Monique tried to talk but it came out as a whisper, "compelled...."

Kol loosened his grip, "what, compelled you say?"

Monique nodded vehemently, "I was compelled by Mikael, I can't share what I know even if you kill me."

Kol leaned forward to smell, "you don't have vervain in you that is good. That's the problem with you witches too trusting. I am an unoriginal too, so I can probably override your compulsion and maybe ask my brother to also do the same, two compulsions trumps one, I should think. Now, I can't very well leave you here so you and me are going for a ride love," flashing Monique toward the compound.

Klaus was looking outside the window distracted when Caroline suddenly sat up from the bed and heaved heavily. Klaus was immediately by her side enclosing her face between his hands, "Caroline...."

Caroline continued to breathe heavily taking in everything around her until she locked her eyes with Klaus'. "That's it, breath my love," Klaus carefully coached Caroline as he himself tried to calm down the sensation he felt, hearing Caroline heartbeat. It started faintly until slowly but surely her heart began to beat steadily. His Caroline was human, alive but human. Caroline quiet voice interrupted his thoughts.
