Gabriel enters the kitchen noticing his wife feeding Lizzie a spoon of something mashed and Bonnie reading through a grimoire. He smirks as Lizzie spits the food back onto the baby tray and kisses her forehead. "I don't think she likes it."

"Come on, Lizzie. Its sweet potatoes!" Caroline tries to encourage her and Bonnie snorts. When the blonde gives her an unamused glance she mouths an unapologetic 'sorry.'

"Are you sure you should go?" Caroline slightly gives up as she begins wiping Lizzie's chin. "You just.." She covers Lizzie's ears. "Ripped Elijah's heart from his chest."

"The prophecy still stands and that unfortunately includes myself and Bex." He gives her a pointed look knowing they already had this conversation but she was testing her luck.

"Are you sure I shouldn't come with you?" She furrows her eyebrows. "I don't like the thought of you needing to deal with this by yourself."

"I will be fine." He kisses her forehead and heads for the door but pauses as she calls his name again. "Take Bonnie."

Bonnie and Gabriel both give each other baffled looks.

"Oh don't look so surprised." Caroline playfully scoffs. "You won't let me come with and I know you two actually consider each other friends now so shoo!"

Bonnie opens her mouth to argue but the blonde gives her a stern look and she nods her head, getting up to follow the man.

"Someone should be with her." Gabriel sighs.

Bonnie throws her hands up. "Was I supposed to tell her that she needs a babysitter?"

Gabriel and Bonnie pause in front of the other three Mikaelson brothers and the witch groans as she holds her head. "You could have warned me." She harshly whispers.

He smirks. "Have to keep you on your toes."

His eyes trail towards his brothers, purposely ignoring Elijah. "What was with the emergency text?"

"Freya had a weird feeling this morning. She completed the spell that tracked all of Nik's enemies... Let's just say the french quarter couldn't even be seen on the map and there was more on the way." Kol tells him as he pulls up his sleeves.

They all pause as the sound of footsteps increase. Gabriel speeds Bonnie into a dark corner. "Do not move. Do not get involved. If it gets too dangerous, you will run." She gulps but nods as he returns to his brothers side.

Gabriel's eyes widen though you can see the relief as Marcel leads a large group of vampires into the compound. "Never thought it would come to this. But as always, The Mikaelsons made my choice for me."

"Marcellus." Gabriel murmurs under his breath, said mans eyes flit to him for less than a second before he looks toward Klaus.

"Marcel, how?"

Marcel spreads his arms apart. "How are we in your home? I've friends who can nullify a deed, foreclose on a property like that. Or did you mean...how am I not a rotting corpse?"

"I thought my friend was dead, and yet here you are. So send these fools away, and let's talk. You and me." Gabriel closes his eyes in defeat as his brothers words ring into the air.

"Is that relief I hear? Really? If I hadn't been one step ahead of you, I would be at the bottom of the river." Marcel snarks.

Elijah steps forward. "Marcel, your anger is with me. I'm the one that's responsible for this crime against you."

"One thing I learned sticking around this family, Elijah, you take on one of you, you are taking on all of you. These guys, Klaus' sirelings, they're here to bear witness today." Marcel points out the obvious dozens upon dozens of vampires gathered.

"Are you planning to put on a little show, Marcellus?" Kol chuckles and the man laughs right back. "Damn straight I am. The Fall of The Mikaelsons. And guess what? the show has already started."

Gabriel makes eye contact with Bonnie who looks about ready to jump in and shakes his head.

Kol slowly approaches Marcel. "I know you're hurt. I loved Davina, too. And it would break her heart to see you like this."

Marcel's face becomes one of rage. "Don't mention her name. If it weren't for you, she'd still be alive."

"But she's not. This is an insult to her memory." Kol shoves him and before anyone can blink Marcel tears his teeth into his neck and tosses him to the side. Gabriel's eyes flicker and he quickly pulls Kol behind him.

Elijah starts a vicious fight by trying to punch Marcel with vamp-speed, Marcel appears to side step the attack. Klaus jumps into the fight with a right hook, only for Macel to duck & grab his hand. Marcel then turns to face Elijah in time to kick him away before he can land a punch. The momentary distraction allows Klaus to land a couple of blows.  Marcel bites Elijah's arm. The crowd cheers as he throws Klaus into a wall leaving only Gabriel standing.

Gabriel's eyes continue flickering as he takes in the scene before him.

"Come on!" Marcel yells tauntingly toward him.

Gabriel sees Bonnie in the corner again and it's a clear mistake because Marcel notices this, too blind in his fury he speeds towards the witch in hopes of luring out Gabriel and he's correct because Gabriel launches him into the wall where Klaus was moments ago. Said man now standing besides both of his brothers that had been bitten.

Gabriel crouches down snarling at the man before he launches.

It was a frightening sight even for the Mikaelson siblings that had seen Gabriel fight plenty of times before in their thousand years of life. They all wonder if their brother had been holding back all the times before in battle as he trades blows with Marcel that the vampire eye can barely keep up with. Each time he's knocked down its less than half a second before he's back up like nothing had happened.

"You think I don't know about your bite?" Marcel questions as they trade blows. Both men heavily covered in blood at this point but not letting up. "Bite me, Gabriel. Kill me. Or I will continue to kill everyone in your cursed family."

"No." Gabriel grunts as he's kicked in the stomach, returning it twice more.

"Why?" Marcel pauses as they come to a standstill.

"Because no matter what you say you are my family!" Gabriel roars. "I love you. My daughter loved you! You were like a brother to her. And I would never do anything to harm her even from the grave."

Marcel clenches his jaw. "And yet you let them kill her."

Suddenly Rebekah shows up places her hands on both mens chest to keep them from launching at each other. "Stop!"

"Bex." Gabriel harshly breaths out in surprise unsure if he was seeing things.

Her face softens as she takes in her favorite brother's current state. "Gabriel. Leave, take our brothers and go."

Gabriel looks hesitant but upon seeing Marcel's face soften even the slightest bit he nods his head. He grabs Bonnie and Kol and speeds away, Klaus quick to follow with Elijah on his shoulder.

All of the brothers burst into Lucien's apartment where Hayley and Freya currently were looking for the cure. Gabriel gently places Kol on the sofa as he yells in agony from his bite.

"I am going to die." Kol gasps.

" You're not going to die." Klaus demands.

Kol painfully chuckles. "That sounds familiar. Isn't that what you said to Finn and Cami?"

"Look, Lucien engineered his venom from the seven werewolf packs, so maybe, that's the key to a cure." Bonnie suggests to the group and Freya throws her hands up feeling overwhelmed. "Oh great, that's the first piece in a puzzle none of us will be alive to solve. I'm poisoned, Rebekah's hexed, and our brothers are bitten. We need three different cures to three different ailments, each of which could take years to find, and none of us will make it through the day."

Gabriel grunts as he suddenly feels like someone had reached into his chest and taken a hold of his heart.

"Brother?" Klaus pauses in his steps and looks toward him in confusion.

Gabriel slightly stumbles and Klaus' eyes widen as he's quick to come to his aid and holds him up right. No longer being able to hold himself up he painfully groans as he collapses to his knees.

"What the hell is happening?" Hayley panics as he claws at his chest.

Making eye contact with her she can practically see the heartbreak clouding his eyes. "Caroline."

Caroline screams in agony as she falls to her knees in front of Lizzie's crib. "Gabriel!" She cries out but the home is empty and there is no one to hear her pleas aside from Lizzie who cries in fright.

"Nik, you need to go with Bonnie to get Caroline right now!" He demands as he stumbles to hold a table to keep himself up.

"You need to tell us what is happening, Gabriel!" Klaus yells, his eyes widening.

"The prophecy." Freya whispers in horror as everyone aside from Gabriel whip toward her hearing her words.

"Spit it out!" Klaus snaps.

"One of us will fall by love." Freya reminds them.

Klaus clenches his jaw.

"We have a plan already." Gabriel croaks as he squeezes his eyes shut in pain.

"You're telling me you've known about this?" Klaus questions in disbelief.

Bonnie grabs the hybrids arm. "We don't have time for this, Caroline is in trouble and our niece is probably alone scared out of her mind."

Klaus stares at her for a moment and casts a glance at Gabriel before they're both gone.

"Tell us what's going on." Hayley demands the man harshly, afraid of him disappearing before her eyes.

"Wait for Caroline." He grunts.

"We need to know how to help you." Freya tells him.

"I don't need your help. Why do you think Bonnie is still here?"

Hayley's eyes widen. "How long have you known about whatever this is?"

Gabriel painfully grins but there is no amusement in his face. "Since the day Tristian tried to kill Caroline."

"You're bloody mad!" Kol pants from beside him.

"You should have told us." Elijah glares.

"Why?" He scoffs. "So you could try and kill her as well?"

Elijah blanches in surprise as Klaus bursts through the door with Caroline in his arms and Bonnie behind them with a crying Lizzie in her arms. "Put her in the bed." Gabriel orders as he winces picking himself up from the couch.

Everyone aside from Kol follows the family. Gabriel pauses next to his brother and he squeezes his hand in his own. "Freya will save you, alright? I promise it, but I need to save my wife."

Kol smiles tearfully at his brother knowing that both of their lives were hanging in the balance. "Go."

"I will meet you on the other side, I promise."

Gabriel rushes into the room to take Lizzie from Hayley's arms. Bonnie was rushing around the room setting up candles and throwing spell books everywhere.

"Explain, Gabriel." Klaus demands, his eyes softening as he notices his brother hugging his daughter tightly to his chest kissing her forehead a multitude of times.

"The day that Caroline, Hayley and Jackson were taken by Tristian and the Strix I had a vision..."

Tristian shouts as the magic around Caroline's heart begins burning him as if it were vervain. He yanks his arm out and Caroline loudly gasps.

Hayley watches anxiously unsure of what the man would do now.

"It seems I've underestimated him." Tristian grunts. "No matter. I've placed some insurance in you while you were unconscious." He walks away and Hayley doesn't take her eyes off of him until he's out of sight.

She takes in Caroline's heaving chest before her eyes trail back to Jackson's deceased form.

"The Strix placed a hex on her." Gabriel finishes.

"I knew you were acting weird." Hayley shakes her head with tears in her eyes. "You should have told me, you should have told us."

"How is she still alive?" Freya questions.

"The hex that was placed onto her seems to be linked to the prophecy some how." Bonnie explains. "I think it fully took root when all of you got bitten or poisoned."

"So that it would kill Gabriel." Elijah looks towards the ceiling.

"What's this plan the two of you have come up with?" Klaus gestures toward his brother and Bonnie.

"Through the soulmate bond, Bonnie is going to transfer the hex to me. Leaving no effect on Caroline."

"And what will happen to you?" Hayley hesitantly questions.

Gabriel avoids everyones eyes. "Bonnie is going to put me to sleep."

"Where he will die, over and over until Lizzie is old enough to siphon the hex and transfer it into an object." Bonnie finishes.

"This is madness." Klaus marches toward his brother furiously. "Lizzie is a baby, it will be years before she learns to even siphon on command."

"Not only that but the amount of magic it would take to transfer a hex through a soulmate bond, not to mention it's never been done before is outrageous." Freya adds.

"That is where this comes into play." Gabriel slowly slides his ring from his finger and tosses it to Freya.

Freya catches it and her eyes widen the moment it touches her skin. She drops it to the floor immediately. Her eyes look spooked. "What was that?"

"That, Freya, is months and months of Tribrid magic."

"You never lost your magic!" Hayley groans. "You put it all in the ring."

"Correct little wolf." Gabriel sighs.

Bonnie picks the ring up. "I can do this."

Everyone in the room is silent. "You'll be gone for years. Just like that?" Hayley tearfully questions. Gabriel nods and huffs as the woman launches her arms around him. "This has to work." She clenches her eyes shut.

"It will." He gently pulls away from her and cups her cheeks. "Take care of my girls for me, will you?"

Hayley nods her head and quickly leaves the room not wanting to cry in front of everyone.

Gabriel looks towards Niklaus and pulls him into a strong hold as well. "You take care of our family, you got it?"

He nods as everyone besides Bonnie and Lizzie leave the room. Bonnie is laying a salt circle on the ground and he gently lays Carolines body in the middle. "You won't have long but she should be awake long enough to speak with you for a moment." She sympathetically tells him.

"Thank you, Bonnie." He sincerely tells her. "For everything."

"Maybe all of the Mikaelson's aren't so bad after all." She softly smiles at him.

Gabriel picks Lizzie up from the bed and sighs as he stares into her eyes. "Daddy has to go away for a little bit, my girl. But never think for one moment he doesn't love you or your mommy. Everything he does is for you two. I am not sure how old you'll be when I see you, but know no matter what I am proud of you and there is no one else I would rather have as my daughters than you and Davina whom I know watches over you every day little one." He wipes one of his tears as he gives her one more little squeeze before settling her down.

Gabriel takes a deep breath as he lays beside Caroline's unmoving body on the floor. He grabs her hand and gives Bonnie a shaky nod.

Bonnie begins chanting and both soulmates gasp feeling like something was pulling at their chests.

"Gabriel!" Caroline croaks from beside him in confusion and panic.

Gabriel soothingly hushes her and turns his head toward her own. He gives her a teary smile. "Me before you, Care. Always."

"What's happening?" She cries as his skin slowly begins to desiccate.

He weakly pulls her head close enough to give her a deep kiss, their tears mixing. "I love you Caroline Mikaelson. You take care of our little girl while i'm gone, alright?"

"Please don't go." She begs.

"I will come back." He promises. "I will always come back to you."

His eyes flutter as his vision starts going in and out and Caroline cries as his movement stops completely. She lays her head against his chest sobbing. "I don't understand."

Bonnie reluctantly steps forward with a letter in her hand.

To my dearest wife,

I know you must be cursing me up and down right now, coming up with hundreds of ways to bring me back to life to murder me again. Just know I wouldn't take back a single thing leading up to this moment for us.

I understand the upcoming years will require you to stay strong. I am sorry for leaving you such a burden.

The Strix hexed you while you were held as their prisoner. I started getting visions on this the same day you were returned to me. It's not uncommon, but I'd like to think the visions were a gift to me from Marie in her usual attempts to aid from beyond the grave.

Please do not be angry with Bonnie. I have asked a lot of her since finding out the truth. But she was the only other person aside from myself I could trust to help me keep you safe and she did not disappoint. Lord knows I could never rely on my family for something like this.

Take care of my darling girl until I return.

I love you Caroline Mikaelson

Always and forever.
