20 Scheming

They should all be scheming against me as of right now, I can feel the Mikaelsons in their home I am quite surprised they haven't taken off yet but, then again I have their mother and I gutted Finn.

I still don't exactly understand why they all get so squeamish every time I go something like that, I have done worse to some of them. Even they have done things horrific to normal people, they too have decimated villages and slaughtered thousands. The Originals hide behind masks of class and beauty only to be murderous and cold the next second. I refuse to put on a mask and that's why most are uncomfortable around me.

Anyways, I wonder if they know about Inari being a Kitsune, she has hidden it extremely well throughout the years so I doubt it but, she is known by other Kitsune and the Mikaelsons should have run into at least one during their years wandering the earth.

It's nighttime so she is actually infiltrating Bonnie and Caroline's dreams right now, it should be rather interesting seeing their changes.

-Bonnie's dream world-

Darkness consumed me I couldn't even see the end of it, I was alone scared, and confused.

"You failed me, child," an aged voice said echoing throughout the darkness

A voice I recognized, turning around I saw Grams she looked so aged and disappointed.

"Helping them! They killed me and you help them!" she shouted at me I couldn't respond my emotions were too high

"You have failed me, Bonnie,"

"I'm sorry," I managed to croak out

"Don't patronize me you, bloodsucker slave,"

"I'm sorry," I said once more, tears streaming endlessly down my face

Then she disappeared replaced with my mom.

"Your friends have turned me into a monster, are you still going to help them like the little witch pet you are?" said my mother

"Ele-"

"SHUT UP! Don't speak that horrible woman's name, she has caused so much grief for this family yet you still help her,"

I couldn't respond, I was beginning to gasp for air, my mind was spinning.

"Useless," my Grams's voice sounded again

"Pathetic,"

"Waste,"

"Shame to the Bennett name,"

"Slave,"

"Pet,"

The voices kept assaulting me, tears and snot covered my face.

"Sorry,"

"sorry,"

"Sorry,"

"sorry,"

-Narrator pov -

The morning rays of the sun shined upon the town of Mystic Falls, people were already driving around finding time to get to work and get on with their days, completely ignorant of the incident that recently happened. On the other hand, the Vampires and others included in the said incident were not out enjoying the spooky atmosphere of October no they were trying to figure out what to do next.

At the Mikaelson mansion, the siblings were all present in the living room, Finn was laying on the couch his complexion was paler than usual, and his stomach still had a fresh hole in it. Tossing another blood bag on the ground Finn looked at his siblings and said, "how could you allow such a beast to live?"

The siblings all looked at him dumbfounded, Finn Mikaelson the brother who hates his very existence, was wondering why they hadn't killed the demon known as Taban Khan.

"Taban truly is a force of nature even Finn wants to kill him," Kol said in a snarky tone

"Do you really think we haven't tried?" Klaus said with an unamused expression marring his face

"Well, what are we going to do then? He has mother and we can't exactly kill him," Rebekah said in an irritated tone

"Then we capture him and torture the information out of him," Kol supplied easily

"Yeah, good luck with that he will probably find our torture methods lacking or something," Klaus said rolling his eyes

"I have plenty of experience I'm sure I can make him talk," Kol replied confidently

"Mother and I tried to kill you all, why are you being so nice?" Finn asked confused

"Oh mother will die but by our hands, not his, and trying to kill each other is a Mikaelson family trait I originally wanted to stick you into the box but Elijah stopped me be thankful," Klaus said bitterly

"I have an idea," Elijah suddenly said

"Do tell brother," Kol said rolling his eyes

"The Salvatores don't fancy Taban either, we should team up they are resourceful in their own right," Elijah replied with a small smile seeing his family interact

"NO! I don't want to work with Elena," Rebekah yelled in anger

"Sister he has a point," Klaus said in a calming tone

"But we can do this ourselves," Rebekah said with a sigh

"Yes but with them aiding us we might be able to pull ahead of Taban for once," Elijah replied pouring himself a glass of scotch

"Pour me one too, and I agree sister although reluctantly," Kol said with a small glint in his eyes

Elijah nodded and poured another glass and handed it to Kol who immediately downed it and handed it back for a refill.

"I also agree," Finn said but no one paid him any mind

"Sister?" Klaus asked with a raised brow

"Fine, I agree," she said reluctantly

[ten minutes later]

After talking a bit more they decided to send Elijah over to the Salvatore boarding house seeing as they like him the most. Elijah took a couple of minutes to prepare and left promptly vampire speeding the whole way.

Once he got to the house Elijah could hear them talking about the other night about how they turned Abby but saved Elena.

*knock*

*knock*

*knock*

After doing the customary three knocks Elijah waited for someone to open the door, he could hear the light sounds of footsteps approaching the front door.

*creak*

Damon opened the door and saw Elijah rolling his eyes he immediately shut the door on Elijah's face *slam!*. Sighing Elijah knocked once more.

*creak* "go away Elijah," Damon said in a tired tone

"Damon I know that you are all probably saddened by Abby but, I hope we can have a discussion," Elijah said with a small gentlemanly smile

"Fine come in," Damon said stepping to the side in an exaggerated way

"Thank you," Elijah replied while walking stepping through the door

Damon shut the door and walked toward the parlor, Stefan and Elena were already sitting down. Stefan's tongue was growing back faster he can talk but he sounds funny.

Elena shot a little glare at Damon whilst he rolled his eyes at her.

"Whaa you wanth Elitha," Stefan said calmly but couldn't hide the anger he felt for his current speech problem

Elijah cracked a thin smile trying not to laugh, "I want to broach the topic of something my family and I have agreed on," he said taking a seat

"Oh, are you finally leaving?" Elena said with a bit of hope

"Nope," Elijah said bluntly

"Then what do you want?" Damon said in clear disappointment

"How do you feel about teaming up against Taban,"

All eyes went wide.

-Taban pov-

I could literally feel them scheming, Elijah is at the Salvatore boarding house probably trying to get them to join his plans.

Luckily I have kept this skill of mine secret, not even my closest allies know of my ability to feel all around me.

I have several plans going on at this moment but, with the Mikaelsons and Salvatores here I can make rapid progress.

I have already told the ninjas to start the initial steps, soon Mystic Falls will be the place my enemies will be vanquished once in for all.

Someone with my personality is bound to have many enemies but, usually, I kill them all. The ones I'm planning to kill are the enemies that got away and are still plotting against me. And it just so happens that I made a plan just after we killed Malivore to be able to gather my enemies and kill them in one step.

It was a spur of inspiration really but, now it has truly paid off and I'm practically counting the days until I can reap the fruits of my labor.

"Wanna know what dreams I gave them?" Inari asked drawing me from my thoughts

"Oh, please share," I said with a small smile

"So for Bonnie, I made her see her dead relatives, and they all yelled at her and told her she was a slave and worthless," Inari declared proudly

"Evil of you. I like it," I said with a large smile

"I thought you would appreciate it! Dream manipulation is an art you know? Anyways, for Caroline I made her see all of her friends and family talking about his she is worse than Elena and how she continues being friends with someone who has caused so much grief," Inari said with a wide toothy smile

I laughed and replied, "it is an art, and I think you are the best artist,"

She blushed and replied, "thanks ban,"

Small moments like these make my day.

A/N: been thinking of adding a small quote of characters in this story at the top of every chapter, it might give more insight to the past. So you might start seeing that.
