Klaus had crossed many lines since coming to Mystic Falls. Even so, Blair felt connected to him – loved him even. How could she not? There were so many of her lives that were in love with him in the past, it was only 'natural' that some of that would seep through. Klaus, being Klaus, used that to get her to side with him whenever he could. He used their pasts together to bond with Blair in the now. The fact that she was firmly with Damon didn't mean anything to him. Blair's soul was the soul of his love and he wanted it back – wanted her back.

Blair was actually starting to come around to being with Klaus. She's considered leaving Damon and everything. That was until Klaus did something he once swore he would never do. Klaus killed someone Blair loved. He killed two people she loved. In order to get what Klaus wanted he used Elena and Jenna in the sacrifice and that was something Blair couldn't forgive and she hated him for it. Alas, her pasts were not so quick to hate.

Blair's newfound hatred for Klaus was just a blip on the past live's radar. She still continued to feel strong love for Klaus when a different live would ripple through. Now there was no spell they could find to keep this from happening without ripping her away from her pasts but there was a spell they could try…if Damon was willing to do it…

Bonnie stood with in the Salvatore Mausoleum that night and explained the spell to Damon and Blair who met her there upon hearing news she had an idea. "Okay, so Klaus keeps getting to you through your past lives, right? Well I was going through an old Grimoire and I found a spell that could help with that."

"I thought there wasn't a safe way to block Blair's past lives," Damon questioned because they've been down this road before and it didn't end well.

"This isn't about that," Bonnie replied as she showed them the spell. "The idea is, well…" she turned to speak directly to Blair, "to send Damon back in time so he's the one your past lives keep seeing. If enough of them fall for Damon instead of Klaus then that will sever the connection with him here and now."

Blair thought this was a little far fetched. "Time travel? Did we step into the Who-verse or something?"

"It's not exactly time travel," Bonnie explained as Damon took the Grimoire to get a better look at it. "I'll be able to send Damon's soul back and he'll basically possess another person from that time period. He'll have full control over their body in duration."

"If I'm basically hijacking another person then how the hell are Blair's other lives supposed to recognize me?" Damon thought that was a big flaw in her plan.

"The spell calls for a link to the one you're going back to see. Everyone else will see the person you're possessing but Blair's lives will see your soul – they'll see you." Bonnie hoped she was explaining this well enough.

Damon handed the book back to Bonnie. "I'm in. How does it work?"

"Hold on," Blair quickly interjected. "I'm all for stopping me from having feelings for Klaus that aren't technically mine, but what happens to Damon if he dies? If the body he's possessing dies, I mean. Because, seriously, I've been some people that were kill first talk later."

"His soul will follow you," Bonnie replied. "If the body he's possessing dies then it will take hold in another person in another time where you are."

"And what about other ramifications time wise?" Blair wanted to know. "What else is he going to change? I mean, won't the present here get all messed up with every change?"

"Apparently the spell protects against that." Bonnie pointed in the book. "It says here all that can be changed is what's involved with the one Damon's linked to. Something keeps other stuff from happening."

"So, what you're saying, is I can go back in time, get the girl over and over again without any weird timey-wimey stuff getting messed up?" Damon spoke with his hands a bit with that.

Bonnie nodded her head. "Exactly."

"Then what are we waiting for." Damon laid down in the candle circle Bonnie had pleasant and acted like he was getting settled in for a nap. "Let's do this."

"The spell will only last until dawn. Time will move differently for you with the spell, but try to make contact with as many of Blair's past lives as you can." Bonnie led Blair over to the circle to lie down next to Damon and take his hand.

Blair didn't have any objections but she did have a question. She turned to Damon and asked, "How are you going to know who's me? I haven't told you about a lot of them."

"Are you kidding me, Miss Blair?" Damon asked before leaning over to kiss her. "I just need to look into their eyes."

The spell was successfully cast and when Damon awoke he was walking into a village that looked like it was plucked out of the Vikings show Blair would watch just to complain about the historical inaccuracies. This must be where Blair's first life was – Brenna. Based off what he knew about her, this was going to be interesting.

Damon looked around, not sure what he was looking for exactly but figured he'd know when he saw it. Turned out he didn't need to look for anything, he just needed to listen. He heard the sounds of voices both cheering and shouting, so he followed them.

In the center of the village it seemed all who lived there were present. They all stood in a circle to watch whatever was going on in the center. Damon pushed his way through to see what the commotion was and apparently, it was a fight. Not just any fight, however, it was between a man who seemed to tower over all those present and a young woman who was much shorter and looked about nineteen give or take.

Damon caught one flash of the woman looking in his direction and he instantly knew who this was. "Brenna."

"You know of their warrior?" the man beside him laughed. "She is blessed with fire!"

"I can see that," Damon replied, not taking his eyes off of her. She was marked with some sort of paint and was covered in splashes of blood, likely from others she had killed. When the fight began, Damon couldn't look away, but he did when a familiar face stood beside him – Elijah.

"You seem taken with Brenna," Elijah stated, observing the fight. "My brother's pet, she is. I do not recommend challenging her. She is like a feral dog." He clearly had high distaste for Brenna and this display so he turned and walked off without another word.

By the time Damon turned back to the fight, Brenna had the man on his knees and she sliced his throat right open. Before the man's body even hit the ground, Brenna left the circle through the path the people instantly made for her.

Damon couldn't let her get away that easily, especially since he was concerned about her, so he followed as quickly as he could. He didn't have his Vampire skills so it wasn't as fast as he would have liked. When he did find her through the twists and turns of the village, she was down at the beach washing the blood from her skin.

Damon barely made it three steps towards her before she turned around ready to fight. He held up his hands to show that he was unarmed. "Hello. I wanted to introduce myself and see how you are. My name is Damon. You're Brenna, right?"

Brenna kept her blade at the ready and looked him over. She did not recognize him and this unnerved her. Speaking was not something she often liked to do but she wanted to be left alone. "Go," she firmly said to this man called Damon and returned to her washing.

Damon somehow thought this was going to be easy – that she'd see him and instantly fall in love or something, but it seemed he was going to have to work at it. Hopefully it would get easier down the line. After all, this was the first past life he'd made contact with.

"Are you hurt?" Damon asked, moving towards her, but it seemed he got too close because a moment later, he found Brenna's blade going right through him with her holding it with a wicked smile on her face. Oh yeah, Blair told him that this life was a bit insane didn't she? He forgot about that. Oh well, onto the next life.
