Return and Remember

Getting Even I

Mikael stood up and ran to her, and pinned her to the wall. He was about to reach inside of her, but then he was blown across the room to the wall.

"That's for MY son!" She yelled, and then lifted him up using her powers. "I loved you, Mikael, but you never loved me, or my son!" She shouted, boiling his blood, causing him to scream in pain.

"Mother!" Kol shouted, entering the room, glancing at Jeremy/Mikael suspended against the wall grimacing in pain.

"Kol, get out of here!" Esther screamed at him.

Kol shook his head, and glared at both of them. "I'm not leaving here, until I get Bonnie back."

Mikael sneered. "She's not going to let this little girl go, son." He stated, with a mild groan.

"I'm NOT your son!" Kol shouted, veins forming around his eyes because of his anger.

Mikael growled. "You are my son." He shouted, harshly.

Kol scoffed. "No, I'm not. A father loves his children. You despised us! You hunted us for a thousand years. You don't deserve the name father, any more than she deserves the name mother!" Kol shouted, nodding to Esther.

"I hunted Niklaus! He's not your family." Mikael shouted, but stifled a scream, when Esther hit him with another shot of boiling blood. His heart clenched and almost stopped because of the pain.

"He's my brother, Mikael." He shouted at the nearly unconscious Mikael. He turned to Esther. "And she's my love, mother." He stated through clenched teeth.

Esther let the tears fall, but lifted her head with defiance. "I can't let him get away with what he has done."

"He won't." Klaus said from the doorway. He entered the room and nodded to his brother. Kol nodded, "Caroline?" He asked, and turned back to Esther.

"Safe." Klaus answered glaring at Mikael.

Klaus stepped over to Mikael and sneered. "I should rip your heart out for taking Caroline's light and turning her against me." He replied in a dangerously low voice.

Mikael chuckled. "She is a sweet little thing, isn't she? So soft, and so beautiful. I still can't believe she picked you. She would have been so delicious in bed." He laughed, but then came out strangled when Klaus grabbed his throat. He growled at Mikael, forgetting that he was in Jeremy's body.

Mikael chuckled, but felt another sharp pain in his head. "Esther!" He screamed as Esther narrowed her eyes.

Esther chuckled at Mikael's pain. She was so distracted with hurting Mikael she didn't see three women entering the room.

Rebekah and Sage glanced at Klaus and then with angry eyes, they ran over to Esther and grasped her arms tightly, one on each side.

Esther struggled against the two women, and let out an aggravated holler when they continued to grasp her arms tighter.

Klaus squeezed Mikael/Jeremy's neck tighter; Caroline went over to Klaus, and gently placed her hand on his arm.

"Caroline, what are you doing here?" He asked through clenched teeth.

Caroline smiled at him, but then sent a deadly glare to Mikael. "I couldn't let you come alone. I ran into Rebekah and Sage on my way here, and we decided you needed some help."

"Caroline, you shouldn't have come." He replied, not yielding his hold on Mikael's throat.

"I came because I love you, Nik." She replied calmly. Watching as Klaus' face calmed just a little bit, but kept his death glare aimed at Mikael. "We're a family, Nik. We do things together." She replied, trying to keep her focus on Klaus not killing Jeremy, but detaining him instead.

"He RAPED you, Caroline. He nearly KILLED YOU!" He shouted through clenched teeth, trying to maintain control.

Caroline nodded. "Yes, but this is not Mikael. You have to remember this is Jeremy, not Mikael." She reasoned, trying to maintain her control.

Klaus loosened his hold, but didn't let go. He lowered Mikael onto the floor, and glanced at Caroline. She gave him an encouraging smile. He knocked Mikael's head against the wall, causing Mikael to fall to the ground unconscious. He turned to Caroline, but instead of giving her a happy look, his face was contorted in anger.

"Well, this was a tad disappointing." Rebekah said, looking at Sage.

Sage nodded. "I know. I didn't get to kill anybody. Some fight." She scoffed, holding Esther's arm as Esther began to struggle.

"I helped you, and this is how you repay me." She screamed, struggling against the hold.

Rebekah rolled her eyes. "You started this, mother." She replied with a glare in her mother's direction.

"I was doing just fine, until you showed up." She replied, glaring at the two girls.

Kol stepped forward. "Let my Bonnie go, mother." He demanded in lethal voice.

Esther rolled her eyes. "Don't you have any other words, Kol, besides letting this girl go?"

Kol growled. "No, not when it comes to her." He replied, getting closer to them. "Let. Her. Go." He stated through clenched teeth his eyes narrowing with each word.

Esther shook her head. "I can't do that, Kol." She replied with a smile.

Kol stared at her through already narrow eyes. "Why not?" He asked, more demanded.

"Because if I do that, your little Bonnie lass will die." She replied with a slight sneer.
