I stood up, trying to figure out what had happened, who had caught me off guard. It was still dark not the darkness I was used to but the sinister one. I called out. I thought I was the worst of them all, apparently not. NO I AM KLAUS MIKAELSON indestructible Original Hybrid. But I wasn't indestructible. I was here in supernatural purgatory. The other side. I was alone as I've always feared my mother had won. Suddenly the wind occurred again and I was on my back.
"Who's out there?!" I yelled still seeing nothing.
I heard a whisper nothing caught by a regular vampire ear. I listened again intent on finding out what they had said.
"Nicklaus." I heard a whisper. Suddenly and without warning I was in the woods, near the falls.
"Whose there?" I felt a sudden push against my back, I was pushed towards a tree. I looked all around me and couldn't understand what was happening, then I saw it. The initials of my siblings.
"Are you here with me then?" I waited for a sign. Again I heard a voice this time more clearly.
"Elijah?" My head nodded involuntary. I was not alone. My mother had put me in my own purgatory and my siblings had found a way to contact me.
ELIJAH'S POV
"He heard me." I spoke quietly to my siblings.
"Why can't he see us? We see him." Rebekah spoke now.
"This has to be mother." Kol said.
"What has she done to him?" Rebekah spoke.
"Think about it little sister, what is Niklaus' fear? To be alone. Mother must have gotten in his head."
"I hate her." Rebekah whispered. "Why must she make us suffer more, we are already dead."
"We have to get him to see it is all in his mind." I told them.
"Write on the tree again. Tell him." Kol told me.
Rebekah stepped forward, but before she reached the tree Niklaus had started glowing. A smile spread across his face and I couldn't understand what was happening, then I saw her. Marie, my dear friend must have crossed over. But how did she reach Nicklaus so quickly we had been trying for what seemed like forever.
"Marie." I spoke, but she did not respond, she could not see me either. We all listened intently.

The witch Ayana had granted me one request to see Nik. I was actually in a deep slumber, but she linked our minds it wouldn't hold long and we couldn't touch it was like seeing a ghost from the other side.
"Nik, Can you hear me?" but of course I knew the answer, his smile lit up his whole face, as soon as I saw him.
"Yes, love." He reached for me, but I shook my head.
"I'm like a ghost right now, I'm not on the other side yet. "He looked at me confused. "The witch Ayana is helping with that, she is keeping us alive for the time being, hoping she can help, she doesn't agree with your mother." He nodded and listened. "She says your mother plans on torturing you, she plans on creating a hell in your mind you can't escape from. You have to fight." I told him.
"How do I do that? I think my siblings are here but I can't see them, barely hear them. How do I fight?" he asked me.
"Don't forget me, don't forget them, if you say they are here then believe it. Don't let your mother win." I felt myself fading, "I love-"but I wasn't there anymore. I laid on the floor of Uncle Stefan's floor. My eyes watered down I looked up.
"What's the plan?" daddy said.
We all looked at Bonnie/Ayanna.
"I have a witch coming with some ingredients, I will need time, and when the time comes, a sacrifice."

She told me to believe, my mother was playing mind games.
"Esther!" I growled her name. "ESTHER!" I yelled again. I was angry, I was beyond angry, I was infuriated with such a fiery hell, and anyone I would come across would fear me. "Mother!" from behind me I felt a chill. I turned to see her smiling face, taunting me.
"Yes Niklaus." She spoke.
"You think you can play with my mind?"
"I don't know what you speak of son." She remained smiling. "How do you know these games come from me, this could be you're doing, you have been here a little over a century." She teased.
That couldn't be.
"Is that the best trick you have mother?" I heard Rebekah from behind me.
"Really mothers you've already killed your own children, what's with all the theatrics." Kol spoke.
"Enough." Elijah said. I was suddenly surrounded by my family and my mother seemed to be nothing.
"Do you think you have won?" she asked. Laughing hysterically. "You forget I have been planning for over a thousand years." She disappeared as quickly as she had come.
