Finn's blood line didn't only consist of Sage and others she made. It also consisted of their only daughter Amaranth. She knows what happened to Finn and Sage. Now she's coming for revenge.

"Each moment I'm watching my vengeance unfold."

-Mordred's Lullaby

Jeremy plugged in his head phones as he tossed his book bag on his bed. Downstairs, he could hear Andrew and Joanne (the family friends Elena had sent him to live with) talking in hushed voices. He couldn't bring himself to press the play button on his iPod. He wasn't in the mood. Jeremy's temples had been throbbing all day. It was difficult to concentrate in school and he knew he wouldn't be able to make it through the load of homework. All he wanted to do was curl up under the covers and sleep his headache off.

Jeremy groaned as the throbbing turned to sharp bursts of pain. What the hell had brought the pain on? As if sensing something was wrong, Jeremy's dog sprang up on his bed and rested in his lap. He patted the dog affectionately. Tears of pain blurred his vision. He just wanted it to stop.

"It will be gone soon. Right after you help me." A woman with red hair and deep, hate filled eyes loomed over Jeremy. An angry frown played on her pink lips. There was a man with her, but he was far less angry. From his posture, Jeremy knew he was much more calm and relaxed. Much more content than his girlfriend.

"What do you want?" Jeremy spoke through gritted teeth.

The woman smiled. "I need a message delivered to your sister and her pathetic friends. Call her, text her, go see her I really don't care. Just get the message to her, human."

"My name is-"

"I know your name."

The man walked up and put a hand on the woman's shoulder. She relaxed some. "Sage, what's done is done. There is no need to do what you are doing."

Sage's mouth dropped open. "Finn, they killed you! They killed me! Amaranth would be dead too if it wasn't for Elijah."

Jeremy's headache eased as Sage's anger evaporated. "Elijah as in the Original?" The two dead vampires turned to him. Thinking he said something wrong Jeremy asked, "What?"

Finn nodded. "Elijah is my brother."

Sage scoffed. "We aren't here to discuss family. Just send a message for me."

"If I say no?"

She laughed. It was a cold laugh that sent shivers running down Jeremy's spine. "If you don't do as I instruct, Jeremy Gilbert, you may never see Elena or any of the others alive again."

Jeremy's eyes widened. "What do you want me to tell her?"

Sage smiled genuinely. "Now we're talking. Tell not only Elena but all of them, that my vengeance is coming. It's closer than they think. You see, vampire's are particularly good at holding grudges. Especially where family is concerned."

Sage and Finn disappeared leaving Jeremy with so many questions. The main one that he kept coming back to was the trickiest one to answer.

Who the hell was Amaranth and what did she have to do with Elijah and the Originals?
