Ella and Cameron were arguing over which movie they were going to watch tonight. The twins were excited for movie night but couldn't agree on a film that everyone would want to watch. The twins were home from college for the summer and they were hoping to have a family night. Of course, joined by their aunts and uncles - well not all of them. Cameron ruffled his sister's golden locks in a way that he knew annoyed her to no end. She pulled at his hands and gave him a look which simply made him grin in response. His hair was a lighter shade than his sister's, their eyes an identical shade of dark blue which sometimes appeared brown at first and they both looked like their mother. Although, some of their traits had them questioning who they inherited their other features from.

"What about Terminator?" Cameron suggested. Ella groaned in protest. "Why not?"

"Why not? How about we've already watched it a hundred times? I'm thinking something Mom would like. Like The Notebook!"

"No! We are not watching the Notebook again, El! How about a compromise? Aunt Bonnie, Uncle Enzo and Uncle Stef are coming. Do you want them to see you and Mom cry?"

Ella shrugged her shoulders, "So what, Cam?" Cameron gave her a look and she sighed in defeat. "We could watch Forrest Gump? I haven't seen that in a while and Mom loves that movie!" Ella's eyes lit up and looked at her brother for his approval.

"Perfect!" They both walked up the drive to their home. The sound of the gravel under their feet was the only thing that could be heard. Ella texted her Aunt to make sure that they brought their mom's favourite junk since it had been a long month for her. I

"Do you think Mom will be okay?" Ella asked out of the blue.

"What do you mean?" Cameron replied confused stopping halfway down the drive.

"She's been on edge this month. I don't think anything's wrong but I'm worried." Cameron put a hand over his sister's shoulder.

She'll be okay. It's probably nothing. We'll ask her to make sure she's okay. Mom's just stressed because it's the company's annual Founder's Party. It's their 50th; she just wants it to be perfect."

"Yeah. You're right. I mean this is Mom we're talking about."

"Exactly."

"How are you so calm about it? Since when are you the rational one of us? You have the worst temper in the whole world and overreact to anything involving me and Mom. Mom always said you were like Uncle Damon and I'm like Uncle Stefan. Or worse you're Aunt Kat and I'm Aunt Elena." Ella joked with her brother.

"Maybe because I'm not paranoid," he teased her.

Ella pushed him away and used her magic to give him an aneurysm. "You forget who you're talking to. I'm a very powerful being."

Cameron got up and used his magic to push her to the side. "And I'm equally powerful. Don't patronize me, little sister." Ella huffed getting up and brushing the dust off of herself.

"Dick." She muttered under her breath and her brother laughed.

"I can hear you, you know!" He shouted as he started walking off. "It's almost like I have supernatural hearing," he said sarcastically.

"Maybe I wanted you to hear it!" She shouted back. Ella started ran up to her brother and shoved him playfully. "If Mom wasn't against us using our powers like that I would be able to take you on any day," she gave her brother a smug smirk.

"Is that so? When Mom goes on her trip with work you are so on! Loser owes the other $100," he proposes his hand outstretched for her to accept the bet. If there was one thing Cameron could count on his sister to do, it was that she would never turn down a bet. Or a dare.

"Oh you're going down brother!" she shook his hand and put the keys in the door. "Mom you won't guess what movie we're watching!"

As the siblings walk over to the living room laughing and joking they notice something's wrong. Their normally lively house is awfully quiet. They would usually walk in on their mother dancing whilst cleaning up the house. "Mom?" Cameron called out.

That's when they saw her. She was on the floor, limbs spread out in an unnatural way. Ella gasped as tears filled her eyes. They rushed over to their mother and shook her gently. "She isn't...she can't be."

Cameron tried to wake their mother up but it was no use there was a stake wound in her chest and what looked to be a werewolf bite on her neck. Their mother's skin was grey and desiccated. Cameron and Ella pleaded with their mother to wake up but it was of no use. Their mother was dead, Ella was broken by her mother's death and Cameron was seething with rage. His fists curl up but he calms himself down as he hears his sister's sobs.

"Why? Who did this?" She cried out.

"Don't worry. I won't let anyone hurt you and I promise you I will find the person who did this and make sure they suffer." Cameron stated coldly, he was terrifying at that moment but Ella knew he wouldn't hurt her so it brought her comfort. He hugged her and kept her close. "I'm sorry El."

"We're on our own now aren't we, Cam?"

"Yeah. But don't worry. We will always have each other forever. Remember? Tribrids who can't die," he said the last part sullenly.

"Forever doesn't mean anything if Mom isn't here. She wasn't supposed to die."

Cameron put his mother's hands in his own and picked her up to place her in her bedroom. Ella followed him and noticed the tears in his eyes but didn't comment on it. She knew that he didn't want to be seen as weak but his family were his weaknesses. It was always the twins and their mom. Always and Forever, their mother used to say. Ella never did understand why those words were significant but they became a family pact. A vow to never leave family behind. Once you were deemed worthy of being part of the family, you were family for life. But 'Always and Forever' was always something that was just between the three of them. A solemn vow that even now will not break. The three of them, even through death, will always walk together.

"We've got to tell them when they arrive, they'll know what to do." Ella said wiping her face but it was pointless as more made their way down her face. Cameron just nodded closed off from everything else that was going on. He wasn't going to let it show but inside, he was screaming and wanted to burn the world to the ground. To say he was angry was an understatement.

"Cam, don't do this. Don't shut me out. I don't want to lose you too," she pleaded her voice breaking.

"You won't lose me. Forever remember?" he gritted out annoyed that he gets to live and his mother died. He held his sister towards him and apologised into her hair. She nodded along and relished in the comfort her brother gave her.

"We are going to find who did this and make sure they pay. They are not going to cross us and get away from it. It's time we make ourselves known in the supernatural community."

Cameron looked up at his sister, his mouth opened slightly as he took in what is sister was saying. His sweet, wouldn't hurt a fly, calm and control freak baby twin sister was angry beyond belief. He knew that she was deadly serious and Cameron would do anything to avenge his mother's death. If only they knew who actually took their mother away. No one could ever hurt them more than this, so why not show every vampire, witch, werewolf, and whatever other creature lurked in the shadows, that no one messed with Caroline Forbes' children.

Just then someone walked through the door. "Caroline? Ella? Cameron? Anyone here? The door's open. Guys?" Bonnie called from the door. They knew that their aunt would make her own way upstairs. Her mouth fell open when she saw her friend.

"Care?" Bonnie said so quietly that without their supernatural hearing, Ella and Cameron wouldn't have heard them. Her hand went to her mouth and she shook her head in denial. "What happened?" The twins' aunt walked up to them and stroked her friend's cheek.

"I don't know but we're going to find out. Whoever did this is going to pay," Cameron hissed.

"Is that safe?" Bonnie turned to look at her nephew. She gave them a look filled with pity which Cameron returned but his eyes conveyed an anger and resentment that the older witch hadn't seen before. At least, not coming from her nephew.

"Tribrids who can't die, remember? You were the one who told us that. Anyway, there's no one more powerful than us or even as powerful as us. Ella and I are going to look for whoever did it. You can help if you want but you're not stopping us."

Bonnie looked at Ella to see what she thought. She silently pleaded with her niece to try and stop her out of control brother. Ella shook her head, "I'm sorry Aunt Bon but we've got to do this. They killed our mom, your best friend! We're doing this!"

"Okay, fine! I need to tell Stefan and Enzo when they come and then we'll call your Aunt Elena, Uncle Damon and Aunt Katherine. But promise me you won't do anything until after your mom's funeral."

The twins nodded solemnly but we're confused as they didn't even know where to start. They then hear their aunt gasp and turned to look at her. "That's a hybrid bite."

"So we're looking for a hybrid?" Cameron says anger laced in his voice.

"Klaus killed all the first hybrids. Then that means it's...no!" her voice trailed off towards the end.

"Klaus? Who is it Aunt Bonnie!" Ella cried out needing to know the information her aunt knew too.

"Tyler. There are no others that would dare go against Klaus after he killed the first lot. It's got to be him. Tyler killed her."

"Well, then he's going to regret ever crossing us. It's time we stop hiding don't you think?" Cameron said his voice disdained with malice. Ella gave him a confident nod her eyes gleaming with hatred. "Good."
