                      "Here are the hidden six stakes." Jeremy mused. The Gilbert boy had taken the brunette to a old witch house. The same one they used to have the Mikaelsons coffin in.

The dead witches knew what Annabelle was up to and who she was working with but she also knew that the witches agreed with what she was doing. All witches (excluded Bonnie who doesn't know much about Silas) know that Silas should stay dead because he is willing to kill anyone just for the love of his life.

Jeremy lead her to a table with white oak stakes "Wow," Annabelle put an surprised chuckle, taking a stake and inspecting it. She had never seen a white oak stake and she needed to know how it looked like in order to make it illusion-able "I was expecting it to be a lot more scary or...bigger."

Annabelle planned on getting normal stakes and put an illusion spell on it so they'll all view it as a white oak stake when in reality, it's a normal stake. The brunette hadn't talked to Kol after he tried to kill her but he also didn't try talking to her.

The Gilbert boy chuckled at her, shaking his head "No, it's just plain old white oak thee all mighty." He joked and she laughed, looking up at him with a smile, his eyes boring into hers and Jeremy could feel himself falling deeper.

The brunette giggled and set the white oak down "Well, now I finally feel like you trust me." She smiled slightly as he took her hands in his "Thank you. I mean it." She sighed and wrapped her arms around him "You have no idea how much this means to me." She mumbled.

Jermey hugged her back and the two pulled away "What are we?" He asked, raising a brow "We never really talk about it..."

"We're whatever you want us to be." Annabelle shrugged, eyeing the white oak stakes, deep in thought.

"I want us to be together. The whole boyfriend and girlfriend act. I'm yours and you're mine." Jeremy bought the attention away from the stakes "Are you okay with that?"

"Jermey Gilbert just asked me to be his girlfriend.." Annabelle laughed "How could I ever deny such pleasures?" She smiled and he pressed his lips against hers.

-

Rebekah smiled widely, clasping her hands "We have the upper hand in everything. You gained all their trusts, found the white oak stakes and managed to make Jeremy fall in love with you." She summarized.

Kol rolled his eyes "Are you done with the illusions?" He asked Annabelle as she had several normal wooden stakes in front of her. The brunette ignored him "Are you still mad at me? That was last night." He scoffed "I'm not going to kiss your ass for forgiveness."

"You don't have to." Annabelle flashed a smile "I've already got over the fact that your a narcissistic, selfish, asshole." She flashed a smile.

The Original put a sarcastic smile "Finally, now you get it." His smile dropped, along with his shoulders slumping "What do I have to do for you to talk to me in a sincere manner?" He asked.

Annabelle sighed, turning to him "You don't have to do anything, Kol. I get it. You're the type of person who values their freedom and I took that away from you. You have every right to be angry and what you did was completely acceptable." She sarcastically stated.

Kol didn't catch her sarcasm and let out a genuine smile of triumph "That was faster than i expected and easier than Rebekah had told me."

"Unbelievable." Annabelle mumbled while Klaus chuckled, Rebekah snorted and Elijah shook his head in disbelief with an amused expression. She looked to the five incomplete stakes.

Annabelle focused her attention back on them and began chanting quietly "Phantamogriphia Decorum Phantamogriphia Decorum Phantamogriphia Decorum Phantamogriphia Decorum Phantamogriphia Decorum." She chanted and the Originals watched as the stakes turned into white oak stakes but it was only an illusion.

The brunette opened her eyes and looked to all of them "There. Done. Now, all I have to do is replace them but here's a small warning." She turns to Kol "If I die, the illusions will be undone."

"Are you looking at me?" Kol asked in disbelief "Are you threatening me?"

"I'm informing you." Annabelle rolled her eyes "Let's go Bekah." She told the blonde.

-

The two had already replaced the stakes in the boarding house and went to the old witch house. They snuck in, being as quiet as ever but walking casually. They held two small black duffel bag in grasp, Rebekah holding one and Annabelle holding the other. One was empty and one had the illusion stakes. They had made it by the table that held the white oak stakes.

"I want her dead, Damon." They hear Elena and turn to see Damon and Elena walking in the witch house. The duo pause "I mean, Rebekahs the reason that I'm a vampire and she's probably the one who killed Tyler. I want her dead."

Damon hummed in response "Once we find the cute little blonde bombshell. Jeremys little girlfriend and Bon-Bon will cut the link, we'll see if it works then we'll live happily ever after once we get the cure." He flashed a smile.

Rebekah and Annabelle rolled their eyes when Elena and Damon began kissing hungrily. The duo waited until they left the house to replace the stakes.

"I'm going to pop my eyes out." Rebekah grimaces and the brunettes face scrunches up as they replaced the stakes.

"I'm going to bleach my eyes." The brunette grumbled and they chuckled as they continue but Rebekah seemed tense and Annabelle noticed so she out a hand on the blondes shoulder.

"Hey, I won't let them hurt you or your brothers." She assured with a smile.

Rebekah returned the smile softly "I know you won't." They replace the final stake and took the real one "Let's go." The blonde grabbed Annabelle and sped each other away.

Once they made it to the Mikaelson mansion, they happily walked in being visible with the duffel bags in hand. Proud expressions on both their faces as they held the bags like some sort of prize. Elijah, Klaus and Kol were impatiently sitting on the couch, waiting for the ladies.

Rebekah threw the duffel bag and white oak stakes fell out "We got it. All of it." She crossed her arms "They want to kill me. The vampire they want to use as a lab rat is me."

The brothers tensed but Elijah eyed the stakes "But now they have nothing to harm us...right?" He asked the two, eyes flickering from each of them.

Annabelle shook her head in confirmation "I did a spell to make sure they weren't hiding anymore. They weren't. Jeremy told me the truth. Now, they have nothing against all of you."

Elijah stood up "Thank you, Annabelle." He kissed her hand and Kols jaw clenched "Truly." He smiled and she returned it before sitting down on the ground, crossing her legs.

"I'm just trying to balance the world." Annabelle smiled. "Now, I'm not taking any chances so I'll cast a protection spell but I need your blood." She pulled out a pocket knife.

Klaus raised a brow "You care..?"

"Meh, well. Nobody likes you," she points at Kol "I only tolerate you," she points at Klaus and he rolls his eyes "And I happen to like Rebekah and Elijah." She smiled "Now, hands and cut."

Rebekah kneeled down and extended her hand "Don't get my clothes bloody—" she gets cut off by her palm being carefully cut and it almost got on her jacket making her hiss at the brunette but Annabelle only shrugged.

Elijah was next to kneel down and he lifted up his blaze, extending his hand "Very muscly." Annabelle chuckled and softly cut his palm, the blood dripped on the parchment that appeared right after Annabelle cut Rebekahs wrist.

Klaus didn't kneel down, he only extended his hand down towards her and Annabelle rolled her eyes "You aren't some prince, you'll be kneeling for your safety, not for my pleasure but whatever helps you sleep at night." She flashed a sarcastic smile and delicately cut his palm.

Kol was next and he smirked, kneeling down and extending his hand. Annabelle bit her lip and stared at it making him chuckle "Don't be shy, darling." His smirk widened.

Annabelle scoffed "Don't flatter yourself. I'm reconsidering if I should even put a protection spell on you."

"Just do it, Belle." Kol mumbled and rolled his eyes making her chuckle and roughly cut his palm but he didn't seem fazed, he only smirked at her, refusing to break eye contact as the blood dripped on the parchment but the two don't look away from each other.

Rebekah rolled her eyes "Once you two are done undressing each other with your eyes, we'd like to get this spell done and over with." She interrupted them.

Annabelle glares at the blonde before looking to the map, she put her hand up and salt flew to her palms making her smile in satisfaction. She sprinkles the salt on the blood.

"The spell will protect you from death but not harm. I'm not a miracle worker." Annabelle informed with a small sarcastic smile and they turn to her "So this protection spell will only protect you from the white oak stake. Nothing else." She told them and they nodded.

(Here's an explanation of how it looks like. I'm an artist, thank you)

Annabelle closed her eyes. The spell was nonverbal but took a lot of energy. The Originals watched with anticipation as her nose got bloody and it dripped down to her lips but she didn't pay mind to it and the blood slowly began connecting.

Once Annabelle finished the spell, her eyes slowly opened and she slowly picked up a white oak stake from the duffel bag. In a flash, she turned around, about to press it into Kols heart but it flew out of her grasp, protecting him.

"Are you insane?" Kol asked in disbelief while his siblings chuckled or snickered "What if it hadn't worked?"

Annabelle flashed a sarcastic smile "I'd write you a great eulogy." She mumbled then turned to the Originals. "I hope you know I'm not doing this for free, all of you owe me things in the future."

"Couldn't possibly be bad." Rebekah shrugged with a nod.

"Most times it's the other way around but fine." Klaus nodded.

"You have my word, Ms.Annabelle." Elijah smiled.

"I already saved your sister." Kol reminded.

Annabelle raised a brow at him "Kol, I bought you back to life, then I helped you bring Klaus out of a threshold then I helped you get stakes, now I helped you by the illusions and protection. You owe me much more than that."

Kol looked away, huffing in defeat, he knew she was right it he didn't want to admit it, he never liked being the wrong in a situation, nobody did but he despised it. "Fine."

Vote! Thank youu!
