Ester walked silently down to the river where she normally sat to think and practise spells, it was well hidden so no one could bother her. She knew Mikael would be busy with the boys and Rebekah would be with Ayana helping her around her hut. Ester sat down on one of the huge rocks that were scattered along the river bank. She sighed in content.

Something further down the river bank caught her eye. It was two young girls sitting. The eldest had her arm around the younger one. Both couldn't have been older than six or seven. Ester slowly climbed off the rock and made her way over to the girls. The eldest looked up startled at her arrival, tears brimmed her deep brown eyes as the youngest continued to stare into the river sobbing slightly.

''Hello my name is Ester, what's your name?'' she smiled kneeling down gently beside the girls.

''My name is Aribella and this is my younger sister Kasia'' the eldest sniffed hugging onto the younger one tighter

''Where are your parents?'' Ester asked looking down at Kasia who was shaking because of the sobs

''They went to heaven a long time ago and we live with our aunt but she can't take care of us so I look after us'' a wave of sadness brushed through Ester as she looked at Aribella's eyes when she mentioned her parents

''How old are you both?'' Ester asked knowing that they were young

''I'm five almost six and Kasia is three'' Aribella smiled. Kasia looked up at ester. Her blue eyes connected with Esters immediately.

''Look why don't you both come back to my hut and I'll fix you something to eat, I'm sure my children would love to meet you, my youngest Henrik is just a little older than Kasia and my only daughter Rebekah is the exact same age as you'' Ester smiled as she noticed the girls were near skin and bone. Aribella thought for a moment then nodded getting to her feet slowly.

Ester reached down and lifted Kasia off the rock and balanced her on her hip as she held out her other hand to Aribella who took it smiling. Kasia lay her head upon Esters shoulder, it had been a while since they had a mother figure to guide them.

Ester walked through the town holding tightly onto Aribella's hand. Her eldest son fourteen year old Elijah looked up and smiled at his mother, however, his smile was replaced by confusion when he saw her holding Kasia. Mikael glared at her as she walked by them

''Mother who is this'' a nine year old Niklaus smiled down at Aribella who hid behind Ester slightly as her sons and her husband approached her

''this is Kasia and Aribella, I found them down by the river. Here Elijah, see to it that they get something to eat, I need to talk with your father alone'' Ester said handing Kasia over to her eldest son as she handed Aribella's hand to Finn ''they'll look after you, you'll be safe''

Elijah entered Ayana's hut with Kasia in his arms. She weighed next to nothing even to the not very strong fourteen year old as a twelve year old finn walked in with Aribella's hand tightly in his. Rebekah smiled at them then became slightly confused as did Ayana

''This is Aribella and Kasia. Mother found them down by the river, she told us to bring them to get some food'' Niklaus explained walking in with a three year old Henrik's hand in his grasp as a seven year old Kol followed behind his brothers. Elijah sat down with Kasia in his lap as her light caramel curls tickled his chin while her bright blue eyes zoomed around the cabin taking in everyone's expression. Finn sat down beside him with Aribella in his lap while Anya prepared them something to eat

''So how old are you,'' Kol asked with his head to the side looking at Aribella who looked at him, her eyes held fear and confusion ''What are you a mute?'' Kol asked in a snapping manner

''Kol!'' Elijah's voice echoed throughout the hut in a warning tone. Niklaus crouched down infront of Aribella as a warm smile tugged at his lips.

''It's okay Aribella, you can trust us. Kol's just not got very good people skills, he's a bit of a brat,'' Niklaus smiled causing Aribella to giggle slightly

''I like you, your funny. I'm five and Kasia is three,'' Aribella smiled

''I'm Niklaus and I'm nine. Holding Kasia is Elijah, he's fourteen, Finn is twelve, Kol is seven, Rebekah is the same age is you she's five and little Henrik here is three,'' Niklaus smiled ruffling Henriks hair with his hand causing the three year old to giggle.

The doors of the hut banged open as Mikael and ester walked in. The children suddenly became terrified as Mikael's boots sounded cold and heavy against the mud. Aribella smiled up at Ester who stood behind Mikael. Elijah gripped Kasia tighter as he glanced at Mikael's expression.

Klaus woke with a jump as he realised he'd had another dream or flashback of some sort. He'd been having them frequently since his siblings returned. He swung his legs over the edge of the bed and stood up before making his way over to the window. He looked up at the night sky as one girl took over his thoughts, Aribella.

He hadn't thought about her in all his years of being a vampire. A wave of guilt washed over him as he realised she would no longer be alive, neither would little Kasia. He remembered how his father sent them away just before him and his siblings transformed. Aribella was only eighteen and Kasia was sixteen.

Although Aribella had her eye on Elijah and his on her, Klaus and her always managed to got on well. She was the only person besides Rebekah that he could talk to. They all got on really well when they were human.

He closed his bedroom door slowly as he tried hard not to wake any of his siblings. He made his way down the grand stairs case and across the dining room into the kitchen . He stood with his hands rested upon the bunker as he stared down into the glass of water he poured himself just minutes before.

Memories of the sister soared through his head; first meeting them, father allowing them to be part of the family, all the times they shared sitting in the fields in summer and the night he discovered Mikael had sent the two sisters away

He looked up from the sink into the window. He frowned as he saw a silhouette in the window caused by the hall light behind whoever shadow it was, then a second person joined them. He could tell by their stance and body shape that it was two females.

''Long time to see, Niklaus'' a familiar yet vicious voice drifted into his ears. The light above his head was flicked on as he spun round to face whoever it was that was confronting him

A girl no older than nineteen stood leaning against the door frame infront of the shock and disorientated original. Her long honey coloured curls were tied back by a simple purple bobble in a high pony tail as her fringe fell loosely on her forehead just meeting her eyebrows. Her blue topaz eyes beamed up at him. She wore a deep red corset covered by a black leather jacket with silver buttons along the collar with black shorts to show off her tanned legs. Her shoes were black gladiator sandals with a slight kitten heel. A slightly older girl stood with her arms folded across her chest. Her chestnut curls hung along her shoulders as her dark but warm brown eyes stared at him. She wore a red tank top with black skinny jeans with black stilettos. She wore a leather jacket over her clothes.

Klaus stared at the girls in amazement

''Do you have any idea how easy it was to put those dreams in your head, you've been off the red stuff Nik'' the blonde girl smirked. He knew that smirk all to well for it not to be her

''Hello Kasia, Aribella'' he smiled. Kasia walked forward and embraced him. He couldn't believe the tiny three year old he once remembered was now this young woman that stood infront of him

''It's been a long time Nik, a thousand years to be exact. We heard word from a few fellow witches that you lot were here'' Aribella smirked hugging her oldest friend

''Nik who are you-'' he heard the voice of Rebekah ask but the voice stopped when Rebekah laid eyes on the women infront of Klaus

''Hello Bekah'' Kasia smirked at the blonde stood infront of them

''Oh my god'' Rebekah screeched - possibly waking up the other two- before pouncing on Aribella who just happened to be the closest sister to her. Klaus heard Kol mutter a few colourful words about Rebekah's screech as she moved onto hug Kasia

''Elijah, Kol you'll never guess who's here. It's Bella and Kas, they're alive'' Rebekah stood at the bottom of the stairs and shouted. Before the sisters could blink Elijah stood in the doorway of the kitchen looking at the pair confused as Kol followed sleepily behind but stood up straight with a look identical to Elijah's in his eyes

''Did I miss something, how are you two both alive?'' Kol asked waving a finger between both the sisters

''Turns out before our real mother died she put a spell on us so that when we reached a certain age we became immortal, for me it was twenty-one and for Kasia it was nineteen. We both have our powers now'' Aribella explained

''So don't try anything funny and hi by the way'' Kasia smirked walking over to hug Kol as Elijah walked over to Aribella. Klaus smirked as Kol and Kasia were incredibly close before they were turned as were Elijah and Aribella.

''So girls what are you here for?'' Kol asked with his arms still wrapped around Kasia's shoulders

''We heard what happened with Ester and we came to see if we could help, should we tell them?'' Kasia looked at Aribella who exhaled slowly and nodded as the siblings looked at the pair confused

''We heard from someone that Ester is planning on resurrecting Mikael. Finn is the second eldest which makes him perfect for helping with the spell although it really should be done with the eldest'' Aribella said looking up at elijah who looked down at her in shock and confusion

''What do they need from Finn'' Kol asked

''His blood. He's Mikael's son so therefore they share DNA but like I said it's better with the eldest son as they have more of the father's DNA than the mothers'' Aribella explained

''We're not saying the spell will work but we are saying be on the look out. We know what Mikael can be like and we can weaken him but we can't kill him. The four of you will have to team up and do that yourself and while your doing, that we'll take care of Finn'' Kasia smirked
