In the Lockwood cellar, Bonnie stared down at the Original hybrid's burnt body tied up in chains inside the coffin.
"It's beautiful, isn't it?" Klaus asked from inside of Tyler's body, causing the witch to turn around at the sudden voice.
"What is that doing here, Klaus? And Faith, too?" Bonnie questioned the hybrid as she motioned with her hand at the coffin next to Klaus' body. "The deal we made with Tyler was that you'd leave his body and jump into another body the first chance you got."
"Yes," Klaus agreed. "When I assumed I'd be a pile of ash, but fate and oxygen intervened and there I am."
He walked over to the coffin. "Put me back."
"I can't," Bonnie said.
Klaus grabbed the witch by the throat. "If you can't put me back then wake up Faith."
"I can't," Bonnie croaked. "I linked her to your body. Unless I'm able to put you back into your body, she'll stay in that coma."
"Then put her in someone else's body because I don't trust you with Faith's life," Klaus ordered. "Everyone knows how much you hate her, just as much as she hates Elena."
"Fine," Bonnie agreed and the hybrid let go of her. "I'll put her in Caroline's body."
• • • •
Caroline pulled her bag over her shoulder as she was leaving her home and her phone began to ring. "Mom, hey!" she answered the phone.
"Caroline, where are you? And tell me it's far away," Sheriff Forbes said, worriedly.
"Where am I?" Caroline repeated as she picked up her keys. "Uh, good question. There's just a whole lot of boring highways. Why? Is everything okay?"
She closed the door behind her when she began to feel intense pain in her head. She dropped her phone as she held her head in her hands. She clenched her eyes shut at the immense pain in her head. When she opened her eyes again after a few seconds, she looked around confused at her surroundings.
As she was about to turn around, someone came up from behind her before stabbing her neck with a needle filled with vervain causing her to pass out. Faith inside of the blonde's body was confused about what the hell was happening.
• • • •
Tyler's phone rang as Klaus inside of Tyler's body took it out from his pocket. "You incessant woman," Klaus said in annoyance before he answered. "Hey, mom, what's up?"
"Tyler, thank God. Are - are you okay?" Carol asked, worriedly.
"Fine. Why? What's going on?" Klaus questioned in Tyler's tone.
"Pastor Young had me arrested this morning. The Council grilled me on your whereabouts. Tyler, don't tell me where you are, the less I know the better," Carol warned.
"Mom, I'm okay. Relax," Klaus deadpanned at Tyler's mother's warning.
"You didn't answer your phone, honey. I was so scared that you were with Caroline," the Lockwood mother said.
Klaus grew worried at Caroline's name being mentioned. He knew Bonnie had done the spell to put the girl he loves inside the blonde vampire. "Why? What happened to Caroline?"
Carol paused. "The Council took her."
"What do you mean they took her?"
• • • •
Faith inside of Caroline's body watched with worry at her friend waking up as the chains rattled from the speedy road. "Finally, you're awake. The ropes are soaked with vervain which stings like a bitch."

"What?" Rebekah asked, still weak from being shot with an arrow into the heart.
"Someone put me in this body, Rebekah," Faith impatiently explained. "It's Faith and someone put me inside of Caroline's body."
"Why?" The Original asked.
"Hell I know," Faith shrugged before looking down at the chains wrapped around her body and the vervain ropes around her wrists. "Do you think if I rip Caroline's hands from her arms they'll grow back?"
"I don't know."
"How can you not know?" Faith retorted. "You're a vampire."
"Because no one is dumb enough to rip their hands from their body, Faith," Rebekah remarked.
The siphoner didn't get to say anything back the van they were held in suddenly swirled around until the two blondes laid against the wall on the ground. The doors to the van were ripped open to reveal Klaus inside of Tyler's body.
"Tyler?" Faith asked, confused as to why the hybrid would rescue them until she remembered she was still inside of Caroline's body.
"I'm harder to kill than you think," Tyler said.
"Wait, you died?!" Faith exclaimed, glancing between the hybrid and the blonde Original. Rebekah seemed as shocked as she was as Tyler ripped the vervain ropes from Caroline's body. "What the hell happened? Where's Klaus?"
"No time. Come on, we've got to go," Tyler pulled the vampire from the van and pulled outside the wreckage.
"Wait, what about me?" Rebekah asked.
Klaus inside of Tyler's body turned around at Rebekah and smirked. "Keep 'em busy, little sister!"
Faith had never thought of becoming a vampire. The thought had never crossed her mind despite everything that has happened. After her mother had died, before she came back from the dead, Faith grew to love being a siphoner. She loves it.
But now in Caroline's body, she loved the speed. How easily she was able to enter some part of the woods without breaking a sweat in a short amount of time.
Arriving at the woods, she turned around at Tyler to ask him more questions about his death and where Klaus was. Instead, she was stopped by the hybrid's lips on hers. Her eyes grew wide at the actions and more when he pushed her against a tree. Without thinking twice, she pushed Tyler away from her, throwing him a few feet away into another tree.
"Who knew you could be so rough, love?" Tyler smirked.
"Sorry to break it to you, Tyler," Faith glared at him. "But I'm not Caroline."
"I know," he shrugged.
Faith was even more confused. Tyler kissed her and tried to make out with her despite knowing it was Faith. That was a new low for the hybrid.
The siphoner then looked at him in surprise. "Wait, did you just call me 'love'?"
Klaus smirked. "I don't know, love. Did I?"
Faith grinned and immediately tackled the hybrid into a hug, causing him to chuckle at her actions. She pulled away as she studied his face. "That's why I'm in this body. But how? What happened?"
"Alaric was going to kill me," Klaus began. "The Bennett witch put me in this body to save the people she loves, but my body is safe and I can return to my body so you'll be able to wake in yours."
"I could kiss you," Faith smiled as she looked at the hybrid loving me.
"We could," Klaus wrapped his arms around the blonde's body, pulling her closer.

Faith deadpanned. "There's no way. It feels like I'm kissing my ex. No thanks, but I'll rather kiss you when we're in our own bodies, Klaus."
"Then let's go back inside our bodies," Klaus smirked.

"She said she's not strong enough," Jeremy repeated with anger.
"She was strong enough to put Klaus and me into these bodies," Faith countered. "I would do it myself. Oh wait, I can't because I'm stuck inside this bloody body."
"I upset the spirits trying to save Elena. I can't use that kind of magic again. It's too dangerous," Bonnie explained.
"Again with Elena," Faith said in annoyance. "She's in transition, too fucking bad. That was your mistake trying to save your friend from being a vampire when it was already settled, Bonnie. Now do the fucking spell!"
Growing agitated, Klaus ripped Tyler's shirt open and extended his claws on his right hand. He exhaled before puncturing his chest with his claws right above where Tyler's heart was. "Klaus, what are you doing?" Faith asked, growing worried about him.
"Ripping Tyler's heart out. I'll jump into someone else," Klaus explained.
"Oh my god!" Bonnie gasped. "Stop!"
"He's bluffing," Jeremy disagreed as he looked at the worried look on Faith's/Caroline's face. "He needs a witch to do that."
Klaus continued to dig Tyler's claws into his chest. "What makes you think I don't have one? Or ten? Pick, Bonnie! You or Tyler!"
"Fine, I'll do it! Just stop," Bonnie gave in.
"Good," Klaus removed the claws and relaxed. "Let's begin."
"You better be fucking happy that I love you, Klaus," Faith hissed as they both kneeled next to each other as Bonnie prepared herself to cast the spell. "I would have snapped your neck."
"I love you, too, love," Klaus smirked at the siphoner's threat which Faith rolled her eyes.
They both closed their eyes and relaxed as Bonnie began the spell so they'll be able to return to their original bodies. The Bennett witches continued chanting and soon Klaus and Faith returned to their bodies.

Faith gasped awake as she quickly stood up from the coffin she laid in. She glanced around to see that she was in the Lockwood Cellar. She grinned at the sight of the Original hybrid. Klaus smiled back at her before pulling her into a kiss.
Faith's hands trailed from the hybrid's shoulders to his hair as Klaus' arms pulled her closer to his body. The kissing grew intense as Klaus quickly pushed her against the wall. He picked her up and Faith wrapped her legs around his body.
The siphoner pulled away for air as she smirked, coyly at the hybrid. Her chest heaved up and down as Klaus looked at her. He was mesmerized by how alluring the siphoner looked with her blue eyes and messy raven hair.
He looked confused as Faith's eyes widened as if she just remembered something. "Rebekah," she said as she unwrapped her legs from Klaus' body. "Oh my god, we need to go save your sister."
"She'll be fine," Klaus reassured as he was annoyed that his sister was the reason Faith pulled away. "Those council members don't know how to kill her."
The siphoner turned to the hybrid with narrowed eyes. "That still doesn't mean we don't have to save her. She's your sister and my friend, Klaus."
"No," Klaus disagreed. "We need to leave so we can make my hybrid's."
"Your sister has been captured, Klaus!" Faith raised her voice. "And you're just going to leave her?! She thought you were dead! Your siblings thought you were dead! They thought you were never coming back to them! And now that you're alive, you won't even go save your sister?"
Klaus clenched his jaw as anger grew within him. "If you want to badly save her, why don't you go do it your-bloody-self?!"
Faith flinched at his yelling before she glared at him. "I bloody will," she said in a low voice before she disappeared from his sight.

"I thought I told you to shut up," a man in police uniform threatened as Faith appeared behind him.
"Sorry, but I don't like to be told what to do," Faith spoke up with a smirk causing the man to whip around with a raised gun. She didn't let the man shoot her before she flicked her wrist and the man crashed to the ground with a twisted neck.
Rebekah's eyes widened at the sight of the siphoner before she smirked back at her friend. Faith looked at her with amused eyes. "Hope he wasn't someone important."
"Not in the slightest," Rebekah answered. "But we do need his blood."
Faith looked at the dead man with confusion. "What for?"
"For Elena."
The siphoner turned around to see Stefan locked up behind bars. "She needs to feed or she'll die."
"I say let her die," Faith countered. "She's kind of a waste of time and space on this Earth."
Stefan vamp-speed toward the bars and banged on them with anger. Faith smirked at his reaction. Rebekah rolled her eyes, "I made a deal with him, Faith. Just give the girl the blood."
Faith frowned not liking the decision, but she knew if she didn't follow through the vampire would probably kill her. She pulled the knife from the man's belt before slicing through his arm and placing it just outside Elena's cell.
"I really fucking hate you," she glowered before stabbing the dead man on the chest with the knife in anger.

Damon had his foot pressed against Matt's throat when someone out of nowhere tackled to the ground. Elena bared her fangs at the raven-haired vampire as he looked at her in surprise. "Leave him alone!"
Next thing Damon knew, Elena laid on his chest with her neck twisted. He looked up to see Faith smirking down at them. "I meant it when I said I fucking hate her."
"You should tell Elena when she wakes up that I'm going to make her vampire life a living hell by snapping her neck every time I see her," Faith shrugged, feigning innocence. "It's only fair for her to have the heads up."
• • • •
When Faith appeared in Klaus' mansion, she wasn't really surprised to see Rebekah threatening the hybrid with Elena's blood bags. One bag was already wasted as blood was splattered against the wall behind Klaus.
"Drop them," Klaus ordered his sister.
Tears flowed down the blonde's face as she held the blood bags in hand. "I mourned for you! My heart broke thinking I'd never see you again!"
"Put the blood down, Rebekah," Klaus mocked her. "There's a good girl."
"Klaus!" Faith yelled in anger. She knew the hybrid could be somewhat rude and cocky, but Rebekah truly thought she was never going to see her brother that she loved dearly. Sure, the siphoner was glad when Klaus saved her, but Faith loves Rebekah like family. She grew to love all the Mikaelson siblings, except maybe Finn. "She thought you were dead! The least you could do is to not mock her grief!"
"It's always been me! Not Finn, not Elijah, not Kol, not even Faith, me!" Rebekah cried. "I loved you through everything and you don't even care!"
"Drop it!" Klaus yelled as if he wasn't listening to any word from his crying sister.
Rebekah was angry with his response. "You want your family?" She asked before squeezing the blood bags causing blood to leak from the bags until there was no more blood for Klaus to create hybrids. She dropped the empty blood bags on the floor. "Here's your family!"
Faith didn't have enough time to react as Klaus rushed toward Rebekah, grabbing her from her throat. "You know something, Rebekah, you're right. I don't care. From this moment on; you're not my family, you're not my sister, you are nothing."
The siphoner's eyes widened as Klaus snapped her neck like it was nothing. He turned to look at Faith as he tried to calm himself, afraid he was going to hurt her or scare her.
But it was too late.
Klaus stepped forward at her, but she backed away. He furrowed his eyebrows at her actions. "We need to go," Klaus told her.
There was a pause before Faith spoke up. "No."
"No?" He repeated.
"I'm not going anywhere with you, Klaus," Faith shook her head. "You just snapped her neck! You told her she wasn't your family! Just because she cared about you! Does Elena's blood and making your hybrid's more important to you? More important that you would disown your sister, Klaus?"
"She did it to herself," the hybrid glowered.
"I didn't think caring for your own family was something that would cost your neck to be snapped, Klaus!" Faith yelled.
"What would you know about family?!" Klaus countered back. Immediately, he regretted the words, but the damage was done.
Faith froze and tears began to build up in her eyes. Tears swirled around her blue eyes before they fell. Faith mastered a fake smile as tears trailed down her face. "You're right. What would I know? My father died when I was six and my mother was practically an abusive and sociopathic woman. All my life, people have either left me or hurt me to the point I wished I was dead. So you're right, what would I know about family?"
She disappeared from the hybrid's sight before he could say anything.

8 172Guerdon
The sheer vastness of the planes of reality meant that if a combination of laws is stable enough, then it probably exists. The protagonist encounters one such stranger than fiction world that he has a hard time wrapping his head around. He is left alone in an Alien Reality. To him survival isn't the most important after all that he had been through, but he refuses defeat in his pursuit to understand the strange reality he finds himself in. Join this journey of his new story in finding out the answers and secrets of this world. I like this Genre to put it bluntly but I've always found that illogical 'Science' and flawed laws of the world, typical in these stories. So, I've decided to fix that. I have tried my best to make weirdness make sense in this World filled with Magic. Short of simulating them to verify, the laws of this new world should make some reasonable sense and will be consistent (As much as I humanely can keep it that way). This might mean my story might vary in it's progression speed but as a compensation, I promise to have a lot more sensible Cliffhangers if I must put them in. Also, I'm not a big fan of over using vocabulary when telling a story. So, My Language will be very unsophisticated. Hope that's not a putoff. So, Enjoy your reading!
