Hi Everyone, I hope you like this and remember reviews are very welcome and encouraged.

It was peaceful in the Michaelson Summer Mansion. I sat in the front room reading and listening to the waves crash onto the beach outside. Rebekah and Kol had left hours ago so there was no squabbling to ruin my serenity. My world was perfect. Until Michael burst though the front door with my siblings slung carelessly over his shoulder.

Fear filled me to the brim, a scream worked it's way up my throat. I choked it down and gain my composure. Michael dropped Becca and Kol on the polished wooden floor. "Hello, Alverna," He smiled. I looked to the crumpled bodies on the floor. Michael had daggered them.

"It's a pleasure to see you again, Father," I answered standing up "It's been almost a thousand years and you still haven't learned that shoving daggers into you children is frowned upon." I added gesturing to my sister and brother. "Where's Niklaus." He demanded. "I see we're getting straight to the point this time." "Tell me were your Bastard brother is" Michael ordered. "Um, if I remember correctly he's surfing on the moon," I could see his patience waning and decided it was time to attack. My fangs came out and I sunk them into my fathers neck. Dry, dusty blood poured into my mouth, I spat it out as he threw me off. I slammed into the wall with a loud crash. Michael was on me in seconds. He pushed me up against the wall and pressed a stake into my skin. I hissed and thrashed, but when I felt the stake sink into my flesh I stiffened.

"Tell me were Niklaus is," Michael ordered, "or this goes into your heart." "He decided to become a travelling acrobat." I answered flippantly. I gasped as he sunk the stake further into my body and closer to my heart. "Where is Niklaus!" He demanded. "I don't know. Even if I did I wouldn't tell you." I said. "Tsk, tsk, tsk, Alverna that's no way to speak to you father," He mocked. I spat in his face, then he shoved the stake into my heart. Mikael left me desiccating and pined to the wall by a stake.

By the time I undesiccated enough to push myself off the stake the sun had set. I looked down at my once white blouse, and sighed. I went to the fridge and downed a couple of blood bags before grabbing some for Becca and Kol. I undaggered them and left the blood next to their still bodies.

I opened my walk in wardrobe and found the suitcases. Each one was identical except for the tag hanging from the handles. I searched for the one labelled, Coldish. It was hiding behind, Freezing and Ice Age. I hauled The light blue suitcase out from my closet and looked though it. It had everything I need to blend in somewhere like Virginia. I smiled and changed into tight blue jeans and a white long sleeved shirt.

The suitcases wheels made soft clicking noises as pulled it behind me and loaded it into my Stingray Corvette. I looked at the red paint and stroked it lovingly. 'Soon, my lovely." I whispered it her.

I went back inside to find my sibling greedily sucking down the blood I left for them. When they finished I gave them their marching orders. "Pack your bags, Kol you're going to Russia," I said. "Why?" Kol asked, "To find Elijah." I said. "Oh okay," "Rebekah, you're going to Spain to get Finn and Sage. I'm going to get Klaus, I'll meet you in New Orleans." I explained.

"Why do I have to go get Elijah?" Rebekah complained. "Do you remember the last time you were around Finn or Klaus?" I asked. "Yeah, but that wasn't my fault!" she retorted. "It doesn't matter Becca, Klaus will forgive me for shattering his peace quickly but it will take longer with you and right now we need to be a family." I elaborated. "Fine," she agreed grudgingly.

"Good, remember don't annoy our brothers too much , and try not to get yourselves killed," I told them. "You worry too much little sister," Kol laughed. "Well as the only sensible one I have to worry for all five of you," I scolded. He shrugged and followed Becca to pack.

When they came out, Kol was pulling one smallish suitcase and Rebekah was clumsily wielding three huge ones. "Becca," I said in disbelief, "this isn't a holiday. Give them to me." She handed the massive suitcases over and I tipped their contents on the floor. As I sorted though them I found at least ten swimsuits and five different conditioners. I discarded the useless items and folded some of the clothes then placed them inside one of the suitcases.

Rebekah whined and whined until I promised her that when this was over we would go to Tahiti. After that she perked up and hummed contently to herself. When I had finished she even had a spring in her step all the way to Kol's obnoxious Ferrari. His car was too loud for my taste, my Stingray purred sweetly while his car roared harshly. They drove off and I remained to clean up a bit, well at least that's what I told them.

The basement was dusty and the little scuttling noises made my skin crawl. I shivered. Spiders .I hate spiders. I looked around the little basement, making sure nothing was out of place. Seeing that everything was in place I approached the coffin.

My siblings didn't know I had him down here. They thought he was dead. It wasn't my choice though. Henrick was very adamant that they were kept in the dark. I sighed, "It's been a thousand years Henrick, is it time to come out yet?" I asked running my fingers along the coffin lid. "Tap...Tap...Tap" "It's time!" I squealed excitedly. "Tap,Tap...Tap" My heart plummeted. 'What difference will a few days make!" I complained. "Tap...Tap,Tap" "Henrick a millennia has worn my patience thin, but if I must I shall wait." I told him. "Tap...Tap" I smiled, "You're welcome little brother."
