"So you all went behind my back and came up with a plan of your own?" Klaus was not happy that they were conspiring in the wings again.

"You are not alone in this Nik, she is our mother and she wants to kill us all and I rather be there this time when you take her heart out instead of learning about it on a cave wall." Rebekah took charge.

Klaus tensed for a second, he looked down avoiding Rebekah's eyes but he was growling upset.

At this point Bonnie felt incredibly out of place, she was standing in a room with the Mikaelson family while they were talking about killing their mother, when she sighed loudly they all looked at her, she cursed herself for forgetting that they could all listen to it as loud as she had yelled uncontrollably. "Okay... awkward..." She reached for Kol's bag and started to dip the arrows into the Witch Venom.

"You factually believed that we were that gullible?" Kol asked Klaus. "Clyde could have done the unbinding spell in her sleep. You had no need to bring Finn back, all you needed was his blood and that was easy enough to achieve."

"You used Sage to get to Finn because you needed Finn to lure mother here. You knew that she would come for her martyr son and you made up a plan around that." Rebekah continued smugly.

Klaus was annoyed that they were all aware of the plan and he looked at Elijah next, surely he would fill him in on his own plan now.

Elijah smiled with a shrug. "You required the black arts to manufacture a weapon powerful enough to weaken mother so that you could kill her. You would not be able to take her by surprise this time around, hence the elaborated plan to wake the old force that is Ayana. You don't want to sort out the bad flowers tonight, you want to pluck them all by its seed."

Klaus crossed his arms somewhere between a sulk and a snappy fit.

"Don't be mad Nik, we all want the same thing and if we have to die together at least we'll do it by our own choice." Rebekah helped Bonnie put away the little wooden arrows.

Klaus knew that he couldn't persuade them against it, he gazed at Bonnie who tried to look busy avoiding his stare and he wondered how much she had told Caroline, but as fast the thought came he pushed it away, he couldn't think of her now, he couldn't afford it tonight.

Out of nowhere Bonnie yelled in pain, as she was packing the venom a tiny drop of it fell on her skin and her arm immediately became red with a blister.

Lately Bonnie had been living and sleeping on the library and Elijah quickly grabbed one of her shirts that was lying around, he tore it apart placing the fabric on her burning skin, it felt good to have the cold of it against her burning wound and she thanked him for the action.

Kol nipped on his palm to offer her his blood. "You should drink so that it heals faster."

Bonnie and Elijah stared at him as he stood there serious, there was no smirk on his face, not a single trace of a joke whatsoever, just determination.

"Well... it's ok Kol, I'll be ok, it was a stupid accident." She reacted by walking away from the two brothers, she grabbed her bag and looked at Klaus. "Are we going to do this? Or are we going to stand here and talk about it all night?"

Klaus tried to hide his teasing smile but she picked up on it and gave him fuming eyes.

They all followed her as she determinedly left the room, Klaus couldn't help to feel a little proud of how she had grown, she was definitely a lot stronger now after working so hard for the last weeks, he really expected for all the hard work to finally pay off tonight.

The meeting was set at the exact same location where Klaus, Kol and Elijah had come to face their mother months ago, and a world of happenings had taken place since that night, not a single one of them was immune to those thoughts but they all tried to focus at the work at hand.
