"Finn is dead."

That's all she needed to hear before she hung up the phone by crushing it in her hand. Kol sighs, sitting up to rub her back in a comforting manner. "What do you need, darling?" He asks, knowing she would need some kind of way to release her anger. She wasn't surprised that Kol wasn't as affected by Finn's death. He never did get along with the man. And if he was hurt, he was doing a very good job at keeping that buried in his heart.

She releases a breath, "Nik needs us to go to Denver to keep an eye on Jeremy Gilbert in case he needs leverage. But, there's also a coven of witches who have been plotting against me there so let's kill two birds with one stone, yeah?" Kol smirked devilishly, pressing a kiss to her shoulder, "that sounds like a plan. I'm in."

Candice and Kol stood outside a cemetery, of course they weren't able to go in as vampires seemingly weren't allowed. It had a barrier spell, a powerful one at that. "I know you're in there, Chloe," Candice sings, clicking her tongue as she looked around. "I know you know why I'm here sweetheart. Now there's the easy way, or there's the hard way. Just make this easy on yourselves and drop the barrier. Before I take it down myself, and that will only make me angrier."

Kol tilted his head, suddenly feeling a migraine begin to come on. Candice looked up seeing Chloe stand there, her hand raised, bringing a screaming Kol to his knees. "I guess you chose the hard way." Candice raised her hand, pressing it against the barrier she siphoned the magic away. Chloe backed up, dropping her hand, Kol groaned and stood back up with a huff. "You couldn't have done that when we got here?"

"Don't be such a baby." She retorts. Candice sped forward, before Chloe could run, her hand wrapped around Chloe's throat and threw her back against the stone graves. She girl coughs, holding a hand to her burning throat. "Okay, now I truly have nothing against you sweet pea, and I don't want to hurt you. Just tell me where your coven is hiding and I give you my word, I will not kill you." Chloe winced as Candice leans down in front of her with a soft by alarmingly evil looking smile.

"Underground. Caeser family crypt," Chloe reveals, hoping to live.

Candice smiles, "Now was that so hard? Thank you for your cooperation." She stands up and Chloe let's out a relieved breath, only for Kol to grab her with a grin. "You gave me your word!" Chloe screams before Kol could sink his teeth into her neck. Candice tsks, turning on her heel to look at Chloe, "I know, and I'm keeping it. I won't kill you." Candice shrugs meekly.

Chloe feigns confusion, and Candice smirks, "but, I never said he won't." Chloe screams as Kol sinks his teeth into her neck, draining her body of blood, he finishes the job by snapping her neck. "Stay here and keep watch. I'll take care of the rest." Candice states, not caring to look back as walks off. Kol smirks, loving this confident and dangerous side of her. He seen it when she was human but it was never like this. She was way more dangerous as a heretic than she ever was as a regular siphoner. He enjoyed this new side of her just a tad bit more.

She strutted off towards the crypt, raising her hand, she siphons the barrier and walks down the steps. Candice kicks open the doors and enters the underground crypt, only to find ten witches chanting a spell. The exact spell she wrote to kill her mother. Candice groaned, falling to her knees, they surround her as she screams in pain. Kol then rushes in hearing her screams, just for a witch to raise her hand and bring him to his knees, screaming in agony.

Candice screamed through the pain, raising her hand she threw a witch into the crypt walls. She sped up to the one holding down Kol and snapped her neck. Kol and Candice immediately begin to kill each witch one by one. Blood splattered on the walls, and on them. Candice let out a breath, the spell finally lifting, she turns to look at the last witch left. "Who is behind this?!" Candice angrily questions, gesturing the scene.

Kol finishes snacking on one of the witches and licks his lips, standing up and standing beside the heretic. "Search her mind," he suggests. Candice steps forward to do as suggested only for the witch to grab her face. Kol furrows his brows, watching the scene, the witches eyes turned white and she spoke, oddly with an accent. "You will fall, my daughter. Just as your brother did. I will kill you if it's the last thing I do." The witch let go and fell to the floor, seemingly dead.

Candice let out a breath she didn't know she was holding. "Of course. I should've seen this coming. Expect it to be mummy dearest to want to kill me," she finally speaks. Kol looked around at the scene, "I guess we have that in common. Two crazy witches who want to kill their children. How delightful." He smiles sarcastically.

She huffs, still processing her mother's disturbing warning, "Amazing. Let's get the hell out of here." Candice walked up the stairs, Kol trailing behind his girl, "Phasmatos Incendia," he hears Candice mumble, the crypt catching fire.

"Ah, just like old times."

"Tell me again why we're doing this for Nik? I don't owe him anything." Kol complains yet again as he pulled to a stop by the batting cages. "Because if the Salvatore's find out it was Niklaus who sired them, they will kill Rebekah, Elijah and you with what's left of the white oak. And I can't have what happened to Finn, happen to you. Got it?" Candice raised her brows, leaving no room for argument.

"Fine. So bossy," Kol rolled his eyes, hopping out of the car. She smirks,"oh, you love it." He grins, tilting his head at her, "oh, how I do." He made his way to the batting cages, Candice trailing slowly behind him though making sure she was out of sight.

"Fine, fine. Can we do this later? My friend just got here. And yes, Damon, I actually have some. I'll call you when I'm done." Jeremy Gilbert says, then pressing a kiss to Elena's cheek whilst Kol grins, picking up a wooden bat. Elena turned around, her eyes widening at the original vampire, "Damon, it's Kol!"

Damon scrunched his brows, turning around just to get hit in the face with the wooden bat, breaking it in half in the process. "What the hell are you doing?!" Jeremy's eyes widened. "Jeremy, get back he's an original!" Elena exclaims in worry for her brother's and Damon's safety.

"No hard feelings, mate, but we're not buds." Kol says, walking to the rest of the bats. He picks up an aluminum one, "You know, I'll never get used to aluminum. But, hey, at least it won't break." Kol walked forward, aiming to hit Damon but wasn't fast enough as Damon used to the broken bat to stab into Kol. "Did you kill him?" Jeremy asks.

"No, uh, but it'll give us a head start. Come on" Damon groaned, getting to his feet. Jeremy went to walk forward just for Candice to speed right behind him and wrapped her arm around his neck, "Don't make another move or I'll snap your neck," she whispers into his ear. "Come on, Candy, let the kid go. You don't wanna do this," Damon spoke slowly and carefully.

"Oh, but I really do. See, I heard from a little birdie that you helped kill Finn. He was my best friend, so you can see how I didn't take that lightly." Candice says, a psychotic glint her eye. Damon sped forward only for Candice to throw him against the wall and sped towards him, digging her hand into his chest. "You feel that pain, Damon? It is nothing compared to being ingulfed into flames as you feel every inch of your body slowly turn to ash. That is what Finn felt. And that is what you will feel when I'm done with you. You thought I was crazy then, you should see me now."

"Damon, catch!" Elena tossed the other piece of the broken wood bat to Damon who caught it and shoved it into Candice's shoulder. Her hand released his heart as she fell against the wall with a chuckle. "Go! Now!" Damon orders, grabbing Elena.

Candice pulled the wood out of her and tossed it to the floor. She quickly turned Kol on his side and pulled out the broken bat. Kol woke up with a groan and let Candice help him up before anyone else showed up and asked questions. "You're an original vampire for goodness sakes, Kol. Act like it. You can't keep getting beaten by baby vamps." Candice scolded as she drags him to the car.

"I was caught off guard, it's not gonna happen again, darling. And what about you? They seemed to beat you too and you're older than me," Kol retorts, climbing into the car and tossing Candice the phone to call Niklaus. "No, I let them get away. And for good reason. Let's take a little trip to go see an old...acquaintance."

"I'm gonna enjoy this." Candice hums, knocking on the door of an old abandoned looking house. Kol leans against the wall, bored out of his mind already. The door slowly opened, Mary's eyes widened and she immediately shuts the door. Candice rolled her eyes and kicked open the door, throwing her hand out she stopped Mary from being able to move. "I was so hoping you wouldn't make this difficult. I'm very tired. It's been such an exhausting day. I was almost killed by my own spell, I also killed a coven, found out my mum is trying to kill me from beyond the grave, had some sex, got stabbed, and now we're here."

"You gonna talk me to death, or you gonna kill me?" Mary scowls at the heretic.

Candice pouts mockingly, "No need to be rude. But yes, I am here to kill you." She smiles, gesturing Kol to come in. "Could you hurry up? It smells in here," Kol complains for the millionth time that day. "Do you ever stop complaining?" Candice groans in irritation. "I'll stop complaining when we stop doing Nik's bidding for him," Kol replies with his own show of irritation.

Candice rolls her eyes as she steps closer to Mary, "I know I'm the reason you went into hiding, but really, you have nothing to worry about anymore. I'm here to put your suffering to an end." Candice slowly circles the vampire, "do you remember when you crossed me? Led me into a trap for the witches. Do you remember the fear in my eyes when you left that church? When you left me to die."

She pursed her lips, tsking, "Now it's my turn." Candice lifted the hold and Mary ran to a room. She laughed, and vamp sped to the room and threw it open with her magic, then threw Mary into the wall and held her up there. Kol walked in with the broken bat, "this is for trying to kill my girl." Kol stabs the bat into Mary's chest, piercing her heart and effectively killing her.

"Awe, you killed her for me. That's so sweet." Candy awed, dropping her hand that held Mary to the wall as Kol had stabbed her deep enough to where it attached her dead body to the wall. "I must admit, it was incredibly sexy how psychotic you just were," Kol admits, walking slowly towards her with a smirk pulled at the corner of his lips.

"Oh really?" Kol nods, grabbing her belt loops, he pulled her against his body. "Did I ever tell you how beautiful you are?" Candice chuckles, "Yes, over a thousand times." Kol smiled and leaned it, pressing his lips softly against hers. They both pulled away hearing a car pull up to the house.

"It appears we have guests. How fun this shall be," Candy hums delightfully, cheerily clapping her hands together. Kol smiles and takes a seat on the chair, pulling Candice on his lap in the process. She kicks her legs up and runs her hands through his hair affectionately, causing a small groan to escape his lips. The door creaks open slowly, Damon stepping in with Elena shortly behind him holding a flashlight. She raises it up and gasps lowly at the dead vampire stuck against the wall. "Mary," Damon says lowly, a sense of disappointment.

"Quite contrary." Kol speaks, flipping on the lamp. Elena turns around with a gasp of surprise, though Damon didn't seem too surprised. Candice gets up from Kol's lap, a smile creeping onto her lips. She moves around Elena, shoving her shoulder into her as she did. Kol followed her, Damon and Elena backing up from the vampires. "Shame about Mary. She used to be a blast," Kol said.

"Until she decided to cross me of course," Candy adds and Kol nods in agreement with her. "I don't quite know what happened. Yeah, I fear all the time she spent with my family might have ruined her, or even the running from Candice for centuries. She was a bit of an Original groupie."

"And were you her favorite?" Elena questions not so subtley. Candice rolled her eyes almost immediately, knowing what she was implying. "You mean, did I turn her?" Kol asks back with a raise of his brows. "I think I did. But, no, wait. Maybe it was Rebekah. There was also a Klaus period. Then she had that little thing with Candy. Let's not forget the Elijah affair," Kol chuckles, glancing at Candy who just glared daggers into Elena.

"We spoke to our brother, we know you're trying to find out who you descended from. Now you never will." Candy says, gesturing to hers and Kol's lovely gift on the wall. Elena looked at Damon, wondering why Candice was suddenly all super psychotic. Damon was really starting to miss the old Candy.

Kol taps the aluminum bat on the floor, testing it's strength almost, "So...where did we leave off?" Kol hits Damon before he had time to react, he falls to the floor with a grunt. "Aah! Elena, get out of here!" Damon grunts.

Kol looks at Candice who rushs in front of Elena before she could run out. "According to Nik, you're off-limits. Please don't test my patience darling. It's bit very low lately." Candice back hands Elena in the face and throws her to the floor, causing her to hit her head on the bedframe. "That was for Finn, you self obsessed little bitch."

Damon rushes up and grabs Candice by her throat, "Don't touch her." Candy smiles, unfazed by his empty threat. "Big mistake." Kol clenched his jaw and rushes up to throw Damon against the wall. "Oh dear, we've hit a nerve." Kol laughs, "Relax, darling. I just want us to be even." Candice nods, leaning against the doorframe to let Kol handle this.

"You snapped my neck, attacked my girl, you killed my brother, and then you humiliated me." Kol hits Damon three times in the back, definitely breaking some bones. "There. Now we're even. Ready to go, my love?" Kol turns to Candice, dropping the bat. "Yes, let's go. Being near Elena is making me quite nauseated. I much preferred Katerina," she responds. Kol takes her hand with a smirk, twirling her around, he sets his arm around her shoulder and then exit the room together.

"Well that was nauseating," Damon comments.
