17 Preparing for the Mad Khan: the Mikaelson way

-Narrator pov -

It was the day after the ball, the sun was illuminating the small town of mystic falls, most were sleeping still, some were just getting up to work out, and others well others were raging at the fact they were called a fanboy.

"He called me a fanboy! A fanboy can you believe that? I don't like this guy I say we take him out," Damon exclaimed to all present

"We are not attacking him right away Damon," Caroline said rolling her eyes while Stefan nodded his head vigorously

"Bon bon why isn't he getting healed?" Damon asked annoyed that Stefan couldn't even talk

"Whatever knife this guy used somehow is negating my magic, though Stefan's healing powers will regenerate his tongue just slower," she replied tiredly

"I don't like this guy, I mean are we really supposed to believe that he is Taban Khan?" Elena said bitterly

"I don't know, he had a human heartbeat though," Damon said taking a seat

Elena was about to open her mouth to reply when a knock at the door came, *knock* *knock*.

I'll get it Alaric said who has been silent this whole time, opening the door the knocker was revealed, Elijah Mikaelson the noble brother.

"Elijah, what can we do for you this early morning," Alaric said with an annoyed huff

"It is what I can do for you," Elijah replied stepping into the house

Everyone looked at him perplexed as to why he was here so early, "you can't save this for later, we are dealing with stuff right now," Alaric said closing the door

"Oh I know, Taban gave you all a fright yesterday," Elijah said strolling over to everyone else

Damon scowled, "yeah and he's going to pay for it," he said with a dark smirk

"I would advise against whatever you are planning. Taban isn't like my family, he does not need you nor have any deals with you. Taban will kill every last person here if you so much as seem like you are plotting against him. He is a master in war tactics, fear tactics, battle, basically, everything that has to do with death," Elijah said pouring himself a drink

"Well he hasn't met us before," Elena replied confidently

Elijah gave her a look that screamed, 'shut up'.

"And you are lucky for that," Elijah said taking a sip of whisky

"So what's up with this guy? His heartbeat was human," Damon said taking a drink of his own

"He is human, somehow he became immortal when I first met him he killed his brother which was actually common for his family," Elijah said vaguely everyone could tell he was leaving out information on their first meeting

"So the American Indian wars were actually because of him?" Caroline asked having heard Klaus say that at the ball

Elijah sighed and took another sip of whisky before replying, "yes they were and no I don't know why. Taban just enjoys chaos,"

Before anyone could ask any more questions, Elijah downed the whisky and briskly made his way to the door. Before he left Elijah stopped and turned to look at Bonnie, "be safe he is known to cut out the tongues of witches that defy him,"

-Bonnie pov -

I drove home with a lot on my mind, I couldn't believe how today is going, first Stefan's tongue was cut out, then I learned Taban Khan from history is alive and immortal. Oh yeah and apparently he enjoys cutting out the tounges of witches.

My life is just sooo great, sometimes I wish I never got dragged into all of this. I sighed and pulled into my driveway, walking over to my door I entered my key and turned it, surprisingly the door wasn't locked, maybe I was too tired this morning. No that isn't right I would never forget to lock my door.

Preparing myself I barged into my house ready to show whoever broke into my sanctuary how kickass I am.

I stopped right in my tracks when I saw Taban fucking Khan sitting in my living room reading a book with a glass of wine in his hand, a glass of wine I definitely didn't buy.

He looked up and our eyes met, I saw him smile and gesture for me to sit, "Bonnie please take a seat," he said, his voice was calming but had a dangerous undertone to it

"Umm sure," I replied clumsily

I sat down on my couch then it hit me.

"Hey, this is my house! I can sit or stand wherever I want!" I yelled standing from my seat

He didn't say anything, his eyes said it for me he looked at me like I was some type of circus freak.

Pushing down my embarrassment I sat back down. "Glad you came home soon, I cooked some breakfast," a voice said from the kitchen

An Asian lady walked out with a couple of plates of food, she handed me one, and sat down, she was honestly beautiful. I can't believe we forgot to ask about her.

"Um, thanks?" I said still confused about what is actually happening here

"Bonnie Bennett granddaughter of Shelia Bennett, I have been meaning to talk to you," Taban told me while flipping a page in his book

"Meet me? why?" I asked

"Do eat the food isn't poisoned," He said noticing my plate hasn't been touched

I debated within myself but my hunger prevailed and I took a bite, mm the food was actually really good.

I saw the lady whispering an incantation, I moved to stop her but I couldn't move I felt like I was drowning in blood, a beast was watching me waiting to rip my heart out.

I could vaguely hear the Asian women say, "I'm done,"

The feeling disappeared immediately, "I couldn't have you ruining Inari's spell hopefully I didn't scare you too much," Taban said with a small reassuring smile

I was confused, what spell did she perform? "What spell was that." I said in a bold tone

"It was a privacy and locking spell, it is used to make sure no one can hear the conversation and no one can force you to tell them about this conversation, not even compulsion would work. But, I also added the locking spell which makes you unable to share with anyone what will be spoken here," she replied with a sweet smile

"Cool but also so not cool," I replied with annoyance

"Hm, you are much like a younger Shelia she was once my personal Witch until your mother had you and she moved over here I was saddened to hear of her demise, and equally as saddened to hear you are friends with the ones who caused it", Taban said his tone was calm and his face cold

I didn't know what to say, it was so much to take in. But, he was right I'm now friends with the people that caused the death of my grandma.

Before I could say anything he added, "you know, she asked me to help you on your path to witchcraft if you ever needed any but, I will tell you this now. I won't help you, it sickens me that you stay friends with the ones that killed her, and it disgusts me that you even help them,"

He then got out of his seat and started to walk toward the door, not sparing me a single glance like I was worthless.

I couldn't even focus, I didn't care about my door opening and them leaving, I just wanted to sort out what I was feeling.

I guess I have been holding on to what happened and burying it deep, I never really dealt with it all.

-Klaus pov -

"Alright everyone you know the plan, keep a bottle of old Sake with you when you can, he loves that stuff, talk about battle and other subjects that you know he likes. Stay as far away from him as possible, and finally don't listen to his words he will draw you in and manipulate you," I said to everyone my face was calm and so was my tone but, I was anything but calm

"Elijah has mastered the stay away part," Kol teased

"Well, you weren't castrated by him, for over a hundred years whenever someone came close to down there I would react on instinct and kill them, imagine living like that," Elijah replied taking another sip of whisky

Wait, "brother you were celibate for a hundred years?" I said trying to hold in my laughter

"What Kahn level do you think he is at?" Sister asked from the side saving my brother from having to answer

Khan level, a system we made specifically for when he interacted with the Khans.

"A three, he was playful but itching to cause mayhem," I supplied instantly

"A three? Good, we can work with a three," Becca said with a small smile

"Now the most important rule?" Kol said from the side his earlier playfulness gone

"" stick together, and never hold back,"" we all replied as one

Taban Khan is probably one of the only beings in the world that can bring us together like this.
