Thirteen year old Aribella tiptoed her way through the forest. She remembered the stories Mikael would tell her about beasts roaming the woods at night, although Elijah told her Mikael was only trying to scare her, she was still cautious. She'd been down at the river side and forgot that Mikael had said be in before dark. Stars illuminated the sky as the moon peeked through the trees. She'd disobeyed his order, she would be punished now.

''Out late again Aribella, father will not stand for it'' a twenty-two year old Elijah smirked leaning against one of the walls of the hut as she crept silently into the hut seeing her other siblings asleep. She glared at Elijah slightly

''And what are you doing up?'' she snapped with a snarl in a whispering tone folding her arms across her chest.

''I'm your big brother, I had to wait and see if you got home okay, any longer I'd have woken father and started a search party'' Elijah chuckled following her into the main bedroom where her and her siblings slept.

She slid slowly into the furs beside Niklaus who was sleeping on his back. She lay down gently next to the seventeen year old as she felt Elijah climb in behind her and wrap an arm around her waist, this was how they usually slept. It didn't bother her that Elijah was nine years older than her and had his arms firmly around her waist because she thought of him as a brother, it was seventeen year old Niklaus she had a crush on, he was more like boy next door than big brother. With one final glance at Kasia who was sound asleep cuddled in between Kol and Finn, Aribella let her eyes fall tightly shut as she snuggled into Elijah's chest but kept her forehead resting on Nik's shoulder.

Aribella woke to find herself in a bed. She tried to move but she felt someone's arms pull her back down so her back was against a strong muscular chest. She turned her head slightly to see the almost awake form of Elijah. She looked down and saw his right hand was on the bare skin of her hip that showed between her t-shirt and jeans, the contact had obviously triggered her power to see the past and parts of the future.

Niklaus was down in the sitting room across from Kasia and Rebekah who were sharing stories of their past.

''God I need a drink, anyone fancy joining me?'' Kol asked walking out of the sitting room

''I will, Elijah?'' Aribella said following Kol. She glanced back at Elijah who huffed

''Do I have a choice?'' he smirked at Aribella who shook her head chuckling

''I'll go if Elijah's going, someone's got to keep him from tearing Kol apart if Kol makes a bad decision'' Klaus sighed throwing his sketchbook to one side and standing up to face his brothers, he was just slightly smaller than Kol but a fair bit taller than Elijah

''We'll come too then''' Rebekah smiled pulling Kasia to her feet.

''Great a family outing'' Kol smirked as he walked to get his jacket.

They took Elijah and Klaus' car to the Mystic Grill. The moment they walked in they noticed Elena sitting with Stefan, Damon, Bonnie, Caroline and Matt who were watching them as they walked in. Kasia gripped tightly onto the back of Klaus' jacket so she wouldn't get lost while Aribella walked in with her arms linked through Kol's and Rebekah's linked through hers. They all walked over to a booth opposite the other group and sat down

''Who are the two other girls, I don't recognise them?'' Elena asked Stefan and Damon but they both looked as confused as she was. Caroline gritted her teeth when she saw Klaus whisper something in the blonde girls ear and her laughter that followed the comment.

''Right who's getting drinks?'' Elijah asked. His siblings looked round at him shocked ''What?''

''You hardly ever drink, no scratch that you never drink'' Rebekah said in a slightly shocked tone

''I'm celebrating, our sisters have finally come home'' Elijah smirked

''Guess I'll get them in then seeing as it was my idea'' Kol sighed getting up from his seat next to Rebekah and walking over to the bar

''Okay Elijah just said 'our sisters have come home' what does he mean by that? Are they part of the original family?'' Caroline's confused look became deeper as she looked over at the table just as Klaus was looking over at their table.

He flashed her a smile before returning back to the blonde on his left which made Caroline's jealousy grow even darker. Kol came back with a tray of drinks for each of the originals. Elena looked shocked as she saw Elijah with a drink of whiskey in his hand

''Oh my god Elijah's drinking alcohol, someone call the police he's been compelled'' Damon whispered chuckling causing Elijah to glare slightly in his direction

''Ignore them brother, we're here to celebrate family'' Klaus' warning tone came from Elijah's right

''Of course we are'' Elijah smiled back to Niklaus.

Aribella stood at the bar ordering a new round of drinks - with Klaus' money of course- she felt someone's presence behind her. She turned to face the dark haired and blue eyed vamp she'd caught Elijah glaring at earlier. She could tell by his stance alone that this guy was full of himself. He moved to stand beside her at the bar

''Hi I'm Damon Salvatore and you are?'' he asked holding out his hand

''Sorry I don't talk to strangers'' she snapped as she turned her head away from him

''If you don't talk to strangers then why are you hanging out with the Mikaelson family? They're as strange as you'll ever get'' he smirked. She used her powers to give him a headache for insulting her family

''Watch it, I'm a Mikaelson. Aribella Mikaelson actually and insult my family again you'll have a lot worse than a mini migraine'' she snarled before tearing her gaze from him and breaking the spell and picking up the tray full of drinks

''What was that about?'' Kol asked as she joined the group again

''Nothing'' she smiled in reply but Kol knew it was a lie

''You exhausted yourself love'' Klaus said looking up at her tired eyes

''It's only because I used my powers in daylight I'll be okay when the moon is up'' Aribella smiled before downing a shot of whiskey. Kol raised his eyebrows at her in amusement, he'd obviously never seen a girl shoot whiskey before.

''So your powers are controlled by the moon and your powers are controlled by the sun'' Elijah smiled pointing at Aribella then Kasia

''Yep and we're at our strongest at an eclipse'' Kasia replied turning to her left to face Elijah

''Wait, you're the Vilitiano sisters?'' Aribella heard a female voice ask from behind her. She spun to face a small girl with tanned skin, brown hair and dark brown eyes. Aribella glanced down at the girl and knew immediately who she was.

''You're a Bennett, if you don't mind me and my sister go by the name Mikaelson now after Mikael and Ester took us in, isn't that right Nik'' Aribella turned as she felt Niklaus stand to his full height behind her. Kasia snarled slightly at the mention of the name Bennett and Aribella knew all to well why she gave that snarl

''Very true, Kasia's powers are linked to the sun and Aribella's here are linked to the moon, that's why fighting Damon off made her weak. Right I think it's time we left don't you. Come on darling, I'll carry you, your exhausted'' Klaus said picking her up bridal style.

The group left the bar and Bonnie felt a sigh of relief escape her lips

''Looks like we've found our answer to killing Klaus. Those are two of thee most powerful withes ever to walk this planet as they are nature's children themselves, one ruled by sun and one by moon. Together they could weaken Klaus long enough for us to defeat him'' Bonnie smiled

''Just one problem bonnie they're on their side, you saw how Aribella was with Damon and how she was with Kol and Klaus, their family as far as those two are concerned and there's no way they'll turn their back on them, especially not after the way Damon acted'' Elena sighed

''Now that's where you come in, they probably knew the original doppelganger so why don't you ask them about her, find out about your own history. Pull them away from the originals because I can fight any one of those originals but I can't fight either of those witches. Emily fought with Kasia one time and it nearly destroyed her. They're too powerful for their own good and if they're on Klaus' side then we have no hope in killing him'' Bonnie explained

''Bonnie has a point. I recognised the youngest as being a girl who passed through Mystic Falls years ago with her family. Her and Emily traded harsh words then eventually Emily forced Kasia to use her magic but Emily did not expect Kasia to be so powerful and was knocked down easily until Aribella came along and forced Kasia to stop, if Aribella hadn't come along then Emily probably would have been killed then we never saw them again'' Stefan explained. Damon's eyes snapped open in realisation, he knew he recognised Aribella

''Yeah Stefan and Bonnie are right these witches mean business and when you upset them, you seriously regret it. Bonnie just be careful around them, Kasia might want to test you but don't let her get the chance to if she starts a fight, walk away or you may not survive it. Elena, you'll need to divide and concur, separate the sisters if you have to just get at least one of them on our side and Blondie we may need you to distract Klaus, something tells me he's gonna want to keep an eye on his witch little sisters. I'll get another girl to distract Kol while we deal with Elijah'' Damon's tone was more serious than Elena had ever heard it, these witches must be dangerous.

Klaus lay Aribella gently on the bed. She'd fallen asleep in the back of Elijah's car whilst Kol drove Nik's home. He brushed one of her many chestnut curls from her eyes. He knew if Bonnie knew who her and Kasia was then that would pose a problem for him and his siblings but he thought of her as a sister and knew that she would never turn her back on them and neither would Kasia.

He looked up to see elijah leaning against the door frame a small smile upon his lips knowing Aribella was safe.

''How long before she wakes?'' Kol asked moving to stand behind elijah. Klaus put a finger to his lips as he made his way out of the door. He shut it quietly then listened to see if she had woken but the sounds of her deep breathing told him she was still sound asleep.

''We don't know when she'll wake why do you ask?'' Elijah asked the youngest of the trio. Kol inhaled sharply and glanced at the floor obviously not wanting to meet his elder brothers eyes

''Kol'' Klaus growled low in pitch but high in danger. Kol held out a white envelope he'd hidden behind his back. Elijah tore it from his hands to see it was addressed to the Mikaelson children. Klaus looked envelope confused as Elijah pulled out the piece of paper inside and began reading it

''It's Ester she wants to meet us all in the clearing in the woods near where the tunnels begin, she knows Aribella and Kasia are here. She says if we fail to do so then…well you can read for yourself'' Kol said sounding a bit terrified as he turned and walked away down the stairs. Klaus peered over Elijah's shoulder to get a good look at the letter his mother had written

My dearest children

I wish you to meet me in the clearing where we used to gather as a family at eight o'clock tomorrow night.

I know Aribella and Kasia have returned to you, Finn saw you all in the bar. If these girls try anything stupid behind my back, they will die. I have no problem killing my own children so don't think that I will have a problem killing both of those girls

Your mother

Ester

P.S. If your refuse I shall make your worst night mare come true and resurrect Mikael.

Nik stared down at the piece of paper in shock, confusion and fear

Elijah's jaw clenched in frustration at the mention of her hurting Aribella or Kasia. Rebekah and Kol climbed the stairs to face their older brothers. All four siblings looked at each other with the same thought in their minds. Their mother had gone to far. She must be stopped.
