The undertaker came to take the remains of Jane-Anne. Kol refused to listen to Sophie and insisted to be there with her. She agreed unwillingly. But at the cemetery, she had asked him to stand outside of it. He watched from the distance how she prepared the place for the spell so Jane-Anne's spirit could rest in peace. Tears were rolling down Sophie's eyes as she was whispering the words that sounded more like a song than something witchy. For a very long time he had not felt anything so deep, with so much compassion. It felt like a door of his humanity opened that was cemented away a very long time ago. He hated pain, and he hid it underneath the veil of anger and violence. His family being so disfunctional touched him immensely and he never knew how to cope with it.

When he saw Sophie break down as she knelt down on tomb, he ran to her and knelt down embracing her warmly. Now she only wanted some comfort, even though she was in vampire's arms.

After finishing the writing, Elena went to lay down for a moment. It was actually that she wanted to be in Elijah's room. She was missing him more than she initially realized she would. Jane-Anne's death enhanced the horrific feeling that she might not see him again. She felt the urge to go over to the house where his body layed and undagger him. She looked at the claddagh. In an instant she found herself in the street, not letting anyone know that she had left the house. She took Rebekah's car and started driving. A strange feeling of anxiety occupied her heart. Something wasn't right and she felt it. It was like his blood in her was calling her to him.

In a bar not far from the house, now a new hangout of the gang, Matt and Tyler asked for drinks.

"I left and the whole world turns upside down..."- Tyler said to his friend- "you're coping pretty good..."

"Caroline showed me the ropes..."- Matt said- "... I get my sister now..."

"But hooking up with Katherine...now that was wicked..."- Tyler remarked.

"She is on fire... I get now how the Salvatores got so into her!"- Matt continued.

"They say that when you turn your personality only gets enhanced...but, dude, it worked the other way around it... you are the wild one, and it looks like I am tamed... glad to be with you guys... "

"How did you survive man?... I don't get why they are they killing werewolves too?!"- Matt asked.

"Liv told me that they want to be the dominant species...and the werewolves that won't join them they just kill..."- Tyler said-" they managed to mess up an Original..."

"I didn't get how crazy some witches are...A scratch has made Damon badly..."- Matt said and took a shot of tequila.

They both flinched when Caroline entered the bar. She stared at both of them., then she walked to the bar and ordered a drink for herself.

"For Jane-Anne!"- she took the glass and sipped it down.Then she looked at Tyler and said- "How was Canada...? Why did you leave...? You could have at least said goodbye...?!"

Matt could feel the tension rise like wildfire, and he opted to go and play pool.

"I had to... for some strange reason I couldn't shift back into the human form a little while...so I just left and ended up in Canada!"

"Right...good excuse!... "- and she left it at that, which was shocking to him that she had nothing else to add.

"I didn't answer your calls...cos I didn't know what to tell you... It was clear to me that Klaus must still be alive, since I was still me..."

"I have to go!"- she then said abruptly not wanting to hear more excuse and left. 

When she got out of the bar, she felt that something about Tyler wasn't right. She shook the thought off and tried to concentrate on something else so she wouldn't have to deal with what she was feeling right at that moment. She wanted to go back, but then she saw Katherine coming her way and it was a great moment to lay into someone more.

"Still here..."- Caroline said to her.

"Get out of my way..."- Katherine said- " go and peroxide your hair or something..."

That was incentive enough for Caroline to lay into the vampire, who in no time had her slamming on the wall with her hands in her chest ready to rip her heart out. Matt and Tyler were out faster than the flash as the heard them picking on one another.

"Are you crazy?!"- Tyler vamped out at Katherine, who released the grip and Caroline fell into Tyler's arms trying to get her breath back, still chocking a bit.

"Make sure she is not in my way... she is so lucky that lately I am in a good mood...!"- the old vampire said and went into the bar.

"Caroline, seriously,...do you have a death wish or something?!"- Matt looked at her taken aback that she would take on Katherine.

"Ah...can you all just leave me alone..."- she released herself out of Tyler's arms and disappeared down the street.

"She so pissed at you, man..."- Matt said to Tyler, who was now more interested into getting into the bar.

 Damon woke up in a frenzy. His was still slightly feverish and now very hungry. It wasn't really clever to go out, but nothing really could stop him. The house was empty. The sun had just set and he knew that it wasn't clever to get out as the Hundings would be out on the prowler. Sophie did put a spell on the bar, as well as the house. These were the only secured areas. 

The hunter in Jeremy took him out in the streets to find out all he could about them and report back to Sophie. 

Caroline stumbled upon Damon as she was on her way back to the house.

"Where are you going...you don't look so good!"- she said.

"Unlike you... I haven't had anything to drink...and I want something fresh...not that stale thing in the fridge.."- he snarked back at her.

"It wouldn't be bad...cos you need cooling down... come on..."

He defied her an walked away from her. 

"Why should I care....I always care and what do I get in the end... nothing really!"- she said furious and walked into the house. She called out for Elena, but there was no answer.

"Where is everyone gone?!... "- she looke around the empty house. She dialled Elena's number, but there was no answer.

"Great!"- she said pissed off.-"ah...damn it!"- and then left the house as well and went to the bar.

She knew Katherine would be there and probably be entertaining the whole crowd, which was actually the case. The bar was on fire, as the alcohol was flowing in buckets and  it turned out to be a jazz kareoke night. Caroline hated that Katherine could take the spotlight so easily and that her audience had her eyes on her. She walked boldly up on the stage. She waited for the vampire to finish and then took the mic from her and told the band what she was going to sing.

"I will sing The Very Thought of You!"

And she sang like a great jazz diva.

Elena had arrived at the house where Elijah lay. She opened it cutting her palm and placing her blood on the knob uttering the words Sophie had told her. 

He layed there where he fell, and looked very serene. 

"Hey..."- she uttered. And without thinking twice, same as she did it once before she took the dagger and pulled it out of him.

She now waited for him to wake up. His body reacted in a wild manner as she had seen once before.

"Elijah..."- she called him out- 

He took a long breath and looked at her then, first it appeared as if he wasn't yet there. 

From the spirit world Elijah could feel now that his spirit was called back, and in a dim light he could see Elena. He turned around to look back at the void.

Elena quickly remembered what Sophie had told her she would have to do once she get's the dagger out.

"Andi likami asamt (The spirit and body together as one)!"

"Elena...?!"- he now looked at her.

"It's me... You are back!"- she now embraced him as he sat up..."it's me!"

Now he reacted too- and squeezed her tight.

She looked at him once again just to make sure everything was all right. He still looked very pale but the way he looked at her with a happy gleam coming out of his eyes he uttered-

"I missed you!"

She embraced him once again putting her head on his shoulder- "I missed you, too!...So much has happened... I just had this feeling like cold and as if someone was telling me to go and undagger you... and I just had to do it... I don't know if I did right... but... huh... "

"You did right..."- he said now . They sat staring at one another for another moment and then he retold her what had happened.

"Klaus will not be released!,,,"

She now offered him a blood bag to drink and regain his strength back.

"What is this buzzing noise...?!"- he then asked.

Elena now took the phone out of her jacket. She had it on viber mode. There were all different missed calls on the display.

She now dialled Sophie's number and explained to her where she was and what she did.

The witch didn't mind, she only wanted to know if she was safe, but had told her that it wasn't nice not letting anyone know where she went since the shaman witches were about. She could easily be their target.

Elena told Elijah briefly what had happened and the bad news of Jane-Anne's death.

"We need to go back..."- she then said...- "I'll drive..."

"I don't mind... I still feel a tad bit..."

And Elena finished his sentence- "dead?!"

"Is this some strange kind of deja vu moment!"- he said.

"Oh yeah... I know...I daggered you now twice..."

"Luckily undaggered me too!-Elijah smiled at her.

They got into the car and move her fringe a bit with her hand.

"I see you changed your hair..."

"I did.."-she said.

"I like it!"- he uttered sweetily. 

She now stopped the car abruptly.

He didn't understand what had happened, but Elena now turned to him an took his head in her hands and kissed him. He swiftly pulled her over onto his lap and the kissing intensified.

___________

In the St. Louis St. House

Sophie pottered around the kitchen, she took to reading the notes Elena left. 

Kol took some blood and mixed it with some alchohol. He mixed up an Old Fashioned and offered it to her.

"Thanks..."- she said and he thought she would actually be declining it.

He raised the glass. And so did she. They didn't say what for, but it wasn't important. Sophie had one of her worst days in life and a good drink was welcoming.

"Ahm... thanks for what you did in the cemetery..."- she then said.

"I know that you know me as the crazy Mikaelson... but.. nobody really knows who I am... deep inside...this bite has actually did me a favour... I had to deal with some of my own demons..."

"You know what is really funny..."- she then said.

"What...?"- he wanted to know.

"Spending time with you Mikaelson's...changes strangely the whole thing that is written about you... or... that your humanity was jump started by these Hundings..."

"Or maybe because we are among some very interesting female humans that are standing up to us... loads of tough chicks around us all of a sudden... and very beautiful..."

"I don't know how you manage this...but... you made all this so much easier today..."

"I am glad..."- he said.

She had expected him to say something else. Kol was already under her skin, she didn't know how he managed to do it. Her defences and stand-offish behaviour was melting towards him.

She now asked him to let her get back to work. And he did. He was now eager to see Elijah.

Rebekah, Stefan and Liv had arrived in New York and were now on their flight to New Orleans. 

"So...the Cure mission is done. Soon we will be able to fight back..."- she said to Stefan.

"You are actually very eager to kick some Hunding ass!?"- Stefan remarked.

"I am not the kind of girl who sits at home and bakes...sorry... "

"Oh...I know..."- he said.

"We will need the Ripper again...I know you don't like that guy...but..."

"I think I can deal... but... I was serious when I said that I would gladly be your sparing partner...and my swords skills are kind of rusty..."- Stefan said.

"So...you are ready to take me on?!"

"I am!"- Stefan said.

Rebekah smiled.

The weight of the world were on their shoulders, but the group in the bar was having a good time. Damon found his way there too. He and Katherine strangely ended up dancing togehter for the heck of it. Caroline could not be taken off the stage. Elijah and Elena had their private party somewhere outside of New Orleans, too. 

They wanted to forget for a moment what was coming their way. Jane- Anne would not want them to bow their heads down. She would want them to fight and be bold.
