"She said she's not strong enough." Jeremy was agitated, it was apparent in his voice because he was trying to protect Bonnie and Arian couldn't help but respect that. His motivation was Bonnie. But Ariana couldn't help but think that Jeremy put himself in unnecessary danger, her little brother had grown so far from the boy he used to be and she was proud to see it. However, it always came at rather irrelevant times. They were currently stood in the dusty basement of the witch house.

"You were strong enough to put me in here." Nik was shouting and Ariana couldn't help but flinch just a little bit, Caroline taking her hand in a motion of comfort. How could Klaus be so different with other people than with her? Her Nik and the big bad Klaus were very different people. "Surely you're strong enough to get me out." he was upset, stuck in the wrong body with nothing that could be done but of course, Ariana was the only one who could see that, everyone else too blinded by his 'evil' to ever notice that he might have feelings.

"I upset the spirits trying to save Elena, I can't use that kind of magic again. It's too dangerous." Klaus didn't understand the meaning of danger, he was effectively fearless... or perhaps he was just stupid.

"Bonnie, do the bloody spell!"

"Nik" Ariana interrupted, looking over at him and he turned to her, their eyes met in a silent exchange, she was pleading with him to calm down and he was pleading with her to allow him to continue his anger.

"I don't have time for this Ariana" his voice was hushed and he turned away, guilt eating his brain but he knew what he had to do, digging a claw violently into his chest, Ariana screamed out in panic, her hand covering her mouth and Jeremy grabbed her from behind, pulling her into his chest. She was shocked to find that she didn't desire his blood, the thought of killing her brother revolted her enough that she couldn't even consider drinking from him.

"What are you doing?" Caroline was enraged and tears leaked down Ariana's cheeks at his stupidity. Niklaus was so hotheaded that he just couldn't help but doing something shocking to get his way, killing Tyler was just one of those things.

"Ripping Tyler's heart out" he informed, "I'll jump into someone else." Ariana had enough, for now, she knew she would have to get better at stomaching his anger but she chose to turn her head into her brother's chest and ignore the world around her, finding a home in the darkness once more.

"Oh, my God" Bonnie panicked and Ariana whimpered, Jeremy placing a soothing hand on the back of her head, caressing her hair whilst his other surrounded her protectively despite her being in no danger here. Ariana was stronger than Jeremy by a hundred times but her brother was naturally protective. And he knew that Ariana had no control over the love she felt for Klaus, sometimes you fell for someone who had evil in their heart and all you had to do was work to bring out the good in them. Jeremy knew that if anyone could save Klaus from himself, it was Ariana.

"Oh, my God, stop, stop!" Caroline cried because she knew the consequence of his current actions.

"He's bluffing" Jeremy called out and Klaus looked over, seeing Ariana whimpering into her brother's chest, and he faltered but he knew that he was so close to getting his way that he just had to continue. "He needs a witch to do that."

"What makes you think I don't have one? Or ten? Pick, Bonnie!" the Bennett witch was only really left with one option. "You or Tyler"

"Stop! Please! You're killing him!" Caroline cried "Ariana do something!"

"Nik Please" Ariana cried at the same time and although he froze for a second, he didn't stop. And sadness flowed through Ariana for a moment, because she knew that she would forgive him, she had no choice. She couldn't help but see the good in him despite all the bad he did.

"Fine, I'll do it! Just stop." Bonnie begged and everyone was angered because they all knew that she had no choice. And he did, breathing a sigh of relief.

"Good, Let's begin" Ariana scoffed and stormed off.

"Good luck Bonnie" she stated softly and kissed her friend on the cheek as she left, patting Caroline's shoulder on the way out, she couldn't bear to look at Tyler-Klaus anymore, especially when he had angered her in this way. Leaving the building, she stormed off, choosing to let off some steam for a moment by taking a seat harshly in the forest with only the sound of the wind and the birds around her.
