everyonelives | there's something due any day

Her deal was up in 08, so probably around then?

[From Bela: His husband is there currently. Makes sense, but good to see he's retained his cockroach tendencies.

Lovely. I'll send you the reservations.]

Then I don't think so. He was traveling with his brother then and their main priority was either finding Katherine or Elena, not turning Bela

( To Bela: It might be nuclear winter soon, but he is playing nicely.

Perfect. )

That's good at least. But they're close enough to be traveling together and I'm not looking to pick a fight with an Original right now. I'll deal with my brother.

[As best he can, anyway.

From Bela: Going a little stir crazy, I assume?]

Deal with him, Sam. Because I will put him down.
You know what I mean. She's a friend and she's helping.

( He could try FaceTiming, but Dean's getting an earful from Elena. Bonnie expects as much.

To Bela: lol Well, Scotland doesn't exactly get more interesting, but, no. I meant with Ezra and David. They have a truce with Elena, but Elena has also been betrayed before.
She's also betrayed before, but for good reason.
I'm just worried
We're doing good, hopefully. I don't want anything to muck it up

Like Winchesters, she doesn't say. She was close, though. )

[That's the second time in as many weeks that Dean freaking out has lead to him being threatened by someone, and Sam is not a fan of the trend but he'll leave it at that.

I'm on it.]

David is generally speaking a man of his word. If he makes a truce he intends to keep it. It's simply a matter of the other members of the coven forcing his hand.

( Sam and Dean have both been there, Sam... more than Dean. )

What do you know about his positioning in the coven? Elena makes it sound like David's not looking at it longterm.

David is the only son of Joshua and Regina Gainor. They're two of the most powerful elders in the coven. In theory, when they die, he'll inherit their ... stake in the company, so to speak.

So, he has every reason to keep that stake. But, if he doesn't... believe in what the coven does anymore, then he holds out.

The problem with a wheel that's been turning as long as the Colony has is that you can't break the wheel without causing a massive amount of damage. Unless you have a incredible army on your side, you need to dismantle it slowly.

In David's opinion, the best way to do that is from the inside.

It sounds like he knows what he's doing. I don't like that it now involves Elena, and has always involved my nieces, but, it's better than not having any leads.

Speaking of. I feel like I should say something, in the spirit of coincidences.

Yes?

Along with Monroe's hunters crashing graduation, there were two others who passed through town right before. Well, during. And they're still there.

Dean and Sam Winchester?

[She can read between the lines the moment she sees the name. Her eyes close as she mutters a soft:]

Damn.

[Then, back to Bonnie:]

He's not hopping on a plane, is he?

Sam's talking him down?

And Elena says he doesn't even like planes.

You really did a number on them.

( And next to Bela, Elijah looks up from his book.

"What is it?" )

[She glances over with a small smile.]

Nothing. Just my poor choices coming home to roost for once.

[She takes a deep breath.]

When you sell your soul at fourteen, you find yourself making very desperate choices. But in my opinion they gave as good as they got.

I don't know how far your opinion goes, but, trust me, Elena will talk Dean down. And, Sam knows your our link to the coven outside of the coven. But, if, if he goes Terminator on you SOMEHOW, I will give you the head start.

( Elijah closes the book curiously, leaning forward in his chair. )

Well, we've all been there. Is this a loose end?

I appreciate that, Bonnie. Thank you. I'll see you in Prague.

[She takes a breath, before turning to face him with a small smile.]

Not one that needs tying up. Just one I hoped I could avoid until he shuffled off this mortal coil. I'm trying to decide if it's worth getting ahead of.

See you in Prague.

( "And on the scale from one to his head needs to come off? Are we erring on the side of caution or retribution?" )

Caution, definitely. In fact, if anyone's in need of retribution, it would be them.

[She tips her head to the side as she leans back in her seat.]

Our deals were coming due at the same time. I made it out the other side and he didn't. And we weren't particularly friendly towards each other before that.

We?

( He knows you, Bela. But, he is also on your side. Team Bela. )

Dean Winchester.

[She takes a deep breath.]

Also occasionally his brother, Sam.

So, both.

( Both Winchesters. )

We're still going to Prague?

We are still going to Prague. I have plans to meet Bonnie Bennett there, and Dean doesn't like to fly. I don't think he's angry enough with me to white knuckle it across the pond.

[And Bonnie promised he was being talked down.]

Bonnie also said she would give me a heads up if that changed.

Do you need me to liaison with Sam? Get a feel for what you could be walking into. It doesn't sound like these brothers will go away quietly.

( Sam sounds like the brother with the level head. )

[She shakes her head, before offering him a small smile.]

I appreciate the offer, but I should handle this myself. Honestly, I'm of half a mind to contact Dean now and get this over with.

[The sooner they can get the initial confrontation out of the way, the better.]
