Kol gave her a look "Nice save there C."

She just rolled her eyes at him "shush, I don't need your commentary on how I make myself look crazy, talking to thin air."

Kol just smirked at her "I give the commentary whether you need it or not my darling."

CeCe turned back to Klaric "so are you making the reveal tonight?"

He smirked at her "of course I am when are you revealing who you really are?"

The Heretic shrugged "I dunno, tonight would make perfect sense and be very dramatic if I made it right after you."

He gave her a teasing look "that would be rather dramatic Lia... right up our alley."

She rolled her eyes at him "yeah, yeah because I'm the dramatic one in this family."

Kol smirked at her again "You are dramatic just not the most dramatic one in the family."

The Heretic gave her husband a playful look "I wasn't talking to you but thanks for that really."

He just grinned at her "anytime, my darling." Then he winked at her.

CeCe shook her head turning back at her brother-in-law "okay then it's settled you make your reveal and then I'll make mine... Do you know what would be really great? After you break the curse if you would undagger our family that would be really great."

He just gave her a look "we will see when the time comes Lia."

CeCe shrugged "well that's as good as that's gonna get for now so I'll leave it but this conversation is far from over."

A little while later Kol and CeCe were waiting in a hallway where Klaric is going to be bringing the Doppelgänger and BonBon for the big reveal.

"He won't do it... Undagger us until he needs something from us"

"I figured as much which is why the first chance I get I'm un-daggering you and I'll worry about getting the others later."

Before Kol got the chance to reply CeCe could hear Klaric talking "I just had to get away from that dance. The sixties, ugh. Not my decade. He laughs. "I mean, whose call was that, anyway? I much prefer the twenties. The style, the parties, the jazz."

Elena sounded confused and concerned at the same time "Alaric. Are you on vervain?"

Kol snorts "I can practically feel Nik's smirk from here"

"Now why would you ask me that question, Elena?"

"He's being compelled."

"Nope, try again." He told her in a teasing tone which just confused the girl even more.

"What is going on?"

"Okay, I'll give you a hint. I am not Alaric."

There's a pause then a gasp "Klaus!"

"Surprise!"

That was CeCe's cue to make her presence known, she rolled her eyes appearing beside her brother-in-law giving him a look "and you say you aren't dramatic but that was rather dramatic if you ask me Nikky."

He smirked at her purposefully ignoring where she called him Nikky because he doesn't like that particular nickname but CeCe doesn't care and calls him it anyway "ahhhh Lia love I see you've decided to join the party."

Bonnie and Elena both looked at her surprised "CeCe?"

Bonnie looked between the two originals "what is going on?"

The Heretic smirked at her "well you see, I haven't been entirely truthful with you... I'm an Original as well which is why Elena as you noticed back with Rose and Trevor, they were both scared of me because not only am I an Original, I'm also a Bennett Witch that's a bit of a deadly combination but that's not all. What makes it an even deadlier combination is I'm also a Mikaelson not by blood but that hardly matters."

Klaric is also smirking, but he looked at her rather surprised "wow that's the first time I've heard you say that in centuries... calling yourself a Mikaelson."

She just shrugged at him with a wink. Bonnie looked at her "how are you a vampire and a witch at the same time? Grams said that wasn't possible."

CeCe just grinned at her "well you see the thing with my magic when I was human, is I couldn't generate it myself, but I could siphon it from other things with magic so when I was turned, I found out that I could siphon the magic from my vampirism, because it was created with magic, making me the first Heretic or The Original Heretic meaning I could still use my magic and be a vampire."

Bonnie nodded "okay well you said you were a Mikaelson but not by blood what did you mean by that?"

CeCe couldn't help but let a smile slip on her face thinking about Kol "I'm a Mikaelson by marriage."

Elena cut in "but you go by Bennett why?"

The Heretic chuckled "we've been estranged for a very long time but don't take that as a weakness because it's not... let's get one thing clear estranged or not nobody touches him... Now let's move this evening along, shall we?"

Kol grinned at her "thank you, my darling little witch, nice to know that you care so much." CeCe just shot a wink at him when everyone looked back at Klaric.

Klaric nodded "thank you, Lia." Then he looked back at Elena "Just relax, Elena. I'm not here to hurt you. You're not on my hit list tonight." Then he looks at Bonnie. "But you are."

Bonnie may be CeCe's descendant, but Klaus is her family as well, plus she knows Bonnie will have some kind of escape plan. He starts toward Bonnie, but she throws him against the wall with her powers. He gets up.

Klaric looked at the witch "Now, did I mention that I knew a witch? You're gonna have to hit me a lot harder than that."

Bonnie looked at CeCe, but she just shrugged "I helped a little but it wasn't all me."

He rushes over to her and she throws him against a display case, smashing the glass. He falls to the ground but laughs. "By all means...Fire away!" He gets up.

Kol gave CeCe a look "man I really wish I could eat right now because popcorn would make this so much better."

She smiled at him "soon." Then turned her attention back to the scene playing out in front of them.

"If you kill this body, I'll just get a new one. Maybe Jeremy."

Bonnie looks at Elena "Go. Run. Run!" They run. Bonnie closes the doors with her powers.

The Heretic smirked at her brother-in-law "It's so much more fun when they run."

Klaric rolled his eyes, giving her a deadpanned look "my god you're starting to sound like Kol now."

CeCe just shrugged, looking completely unbothered by the comment, which surprised him because she didn't snap at him for saying that like she would have done before her and Kol were on good terms again.

***
I adore Kol and CeCe's relationship so much.
