*Last chapter*

In a last attempt the doctor raced to the wall and held the wooden cross to his chest, which was previously hanging on the wall. "Don't move! I-… I've got a cross!" He stammered fearfully and stretched it out as if it was some kind of protection shield.

I raced right up to him and gave him a sadistic smile, before taking the cross from his hands and throwing it at the wall behind me. The cross hit it with full force and instantly broke into little pieces. "Oh, please!" I said annoyed, before attacking his neck hungrily.

*End of last chapter*

Elena's P.O.V.

"It took you a long time…" Matt remarked after I had gotten into his car. "Yeah, took longer than expected." I answered, while I thought about the sleeping doctor inside of his office.

I had taken quite an amount of blood, but not too much as to seriously hurt him. He would be tired for the next day or two, but then he would be back on his feet. Of course with one or two memories lost, but that was for our safety.

Matt only nodded and quickly looked to the back seat, where the two little ones where sleeping, before driving out of the parking lot. "Uhm, Matt? Where are you driving to?" I asked once I had realized which way he had taken. "I'm bringing you home to me, you need rest and you need someone who can watch over the kids." Matt stated as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.

"You really don't have to, you know. I brought you into this mess and you shouldn't have to do all this… You can leave me at the motel or something." I said, not wanting him to feel as if he had to help me. "Yes you brought me into this, but you did it because you trust me and because you needed a friend. I am your friend and I'm going to help. I'll let you sleep at home either you want it or you don't." He said with some finality and it was clear that for him the discussion was over.

Minutes later we arrived in front of Matt's house and were getting the small ones out of the car, when a heavy wind picked up. "It looks like it's going to be quite a big storm!" Matt nearly had to shout, while he carried a very frightened 'Blair' in his arms to the front door.

I waited until Matt was safely inside the house, before opening the car door with quite some effort and taking out the boy. He just woke up as I took him into my arms and something in his eyes told me that I knew him, but since he was still nearly a baby I quickly put that thought aside.

'You must be dreaming, E… You can't know him. Okay, he has some resemblance with… Oh shit!' I thought and was just able to duck behind the car, before a big branch of a tree flew in my direction. The branch landed in another tree some meters behind with a loud crash.

I knew that now was not the time to stay around here, as the wind just seemed to get stronger and stronger. After locking the car, I looked around for any flying branches and when I couldn't see any I took off as fast as I could.

Closing the door behind me, I breathed heavily and put the boy down onto the ground. "Do you have anything to put in front of the door?" I asked Matt quite loudly and looked around as well. "Yeah, but it's quite heavy." He said coming around the corner with a heavy looking mini-commode.

"Hey, let me take that." I said and quickly took the commode from him. The door was making loud noises of protest against the heavy wind and I could totally understand that the two children were crying out of fear.

After fixing the door and most of the windows, we were now sitting in the kitchen earing dinner. It had been a really long day for me and personally I just felt exhausted. 'I'd give anything for s goodnights sleep… Hopefully the wind will calm down, because I don't know how the small ones and I are going to sleep tonight…'

"Matt, I wanted to thank you once again for your hospitality and for your help." I said sincere and took squeezed his hand softly. He squeezed it back and gave me a small smile. "You don't have to thank me, E. You know I'll be always at your side to help you… it has never changed and it won't." He said right back, smiling at down at the boy who was half asleep on his lap.

Once we had finished with our meal, I helped him clean the kitchen and made a quick check of the house, to see if the windows were still in one piece. "You know if you want to, you can sleep with the two in my room and I'll take the couch or my… sister's room." Matt said, once I came back into the living room.

"Matt it's really sweet, but I can take the couch. There's really no reason for you to sleep on it when you have a perfectly fine room." I said and took a closer look at the boy. The thoughts I had, before the branch nearly hit me, hadn't left me all night long. It was now actually early in the morning and the wind really didn't seem to get weaker.

"Elena, please. You take my room and I'll take my sister's, end of story. Besides, you can stay as long as you want to. You know you're welcome here." He said seriously. I nodded as thanks and looked back at the boy.

"What did you say were the letters on the bracelet?" I asked looking at the boy's face. "Uhm… I think it was N and M. Yeah, it were these two." Matt confirmed and looked at me with a questioning look. "It's just that… Doesn't he remember you of someone?" I asked Matt and turned the boy slightly towards Matt, so that he could see him more clearly.

"Now that you mention him… He does look like someone I might've seen somewhere… But it's especially the girl, who reminds me of someone." Matt answered and turned 'Blair' more towards me. That's when it hit me and I couldn't keep my mouth closed anymore.

"What the?!" I exclaimed and quickly made myself quiet as not to wake up the two who were sleeping peacefully. "Are you thinking of the same person as I am?" Matt asked and I chuckled in response. "If you were thinking that the girl is Rebekah fucking Mikaelson, then yep… we're thinking of the same person." I answered and rubbed my forehead.

"And that of course would mean that this boy is none other than… Klaus." I said and looked down at the boy who had currently his head in my lap and who was sleeping peacefully. 'That's just my luck… On day I do something good and it has to be the two who want me dead or captured.'

"If that is true… than we have a huge, huge problem here." Matt said sternly and sighted deeper than I ever heard him do before. I was about to ask Matt something, but Klaus moved and for a moment I feared he was waking up.

"Do… do you think they can understand us?" I asked not taking my eyes of Klaus. I paid attention to every breath he and Rebekah were taking and to every beat their hearts made. I observed every little change, while I waited for Matt's answer.

"Perhaps, perhaps not." He answered tiredly and yawned loudly. "I'm sorry, I'm just really tired." Matt said right away and I chuckled quietly. "Matt, I can really understand you. Go and get some sleep, we'll continue talking tomorrow morning… and until then... let's pretend they can understand everything." I said silently.

"Yeah, that's probably the best… for all of us." He said and got up with Rebekah in his arms. "Can I place her next to you or should I put her upstairs?" He asked. "You can place her here next to me, I'll read a little bit and then I'll go up. Thanks a lot, Matt."

Matt then placed Rebekah on the other side of me, before giving me a light kiss on the forehead and walking upstairs to his sister's room. I heard him close the door and walked around the room, before he seemed to finally settle down.

'I can't believe it… The day started so good, everything was peaceful and now… I am stuck with two children, who happen to be Klaus and Rebekah… The two Originals who have no greater wish than to kill me or capture me…

What am I going to do with them?... I need to find out who turned them into humans and into children… Only a powerful witch could do that… Esther is not around, so it can't be her…

If tomorrow we go to Bonnie, she won't want them to return to their normal state. She will want that we finish them once and for all… But I could never live with the thought of killing two children, even if they're Klaus and Rebekah. She will also inform everybody else and they would, once again, not listen to me but simply kill them…

Perhaps we shouldn't go to Bonnie… maybe I should try to locate Elijah and inform him. But that's a new problem… Where is he? How could I possibly find him without the help of a witch or of anybody else?'

I was brought out of my thoughts, when Rebekah started to move in her sleep. Without realizing it, she snuggled nearer to me and I really had to fight back the urge to chuckle. It was kind of funny and cute, that she would do that… Especially knowing the big 'friendship' we shared.

'Okay… perhaps it's time to go to bed…' I thought and couldn't help the yawn which escaped me. Sighting heavily, I picked up both Rebekah and Klaus. I was careful as not to wake them, because I didn't want them to open their eyes. Because once their eyes would be open, I would look in them with the knowledge that these were my two main enemies.

'I really, really need to find Elijah…' I thought, just as I put down the two on Matt's bed. I wanted to walk away, to not care, but I couldn't. Kids were my weakness and even thought they were who they were…. I wanted them to feel be safe as long as they were under my 'protection'.

I quickly sped to the closet and took out all the pillows and blankets I could find and created a sort of wall around the bed, so Klaus and Rebekah wouldn't be able to fall off the bed. 'Would be just my luck if I would get 'lecture' from Elijah should he find out…'

So now the only place that was left for me to sleep was the ground or the very uncomfortable desk chair. 'I hope that tomorrow I'll find a better place to sleep… I'm really not looking forward to this night on the floor.' I thought and took the last blanket out of the bank, putting it on the floor and laying down on it.

*The next day*

"Good morning." Matt said sleepily as soon as he entered the kitchen and nodded a thanks, when he saw the breakfast which I had made for him. "Good morning!" I said a bit more cheerfully than he had. Despite the rather uncomfortable night I had spent on the floor, I kind of felt in a good mood and optimistic.

"Why are you in such a good mood?" Matt asked suspiciously, after taking a bite from his toast. "I… I actually have no idea!" I laughed and just couldn't seem to stop. Actually I had every damn reason to do the opposite. Firstly I had no clue how Klaus and Rebekah got transformed, secondly I didn't know how to make them 'normal' again and thirdly… I had no idea where Elijah, the only one who could help me in this situation was.

"Okay… Well, it's at least better than to cry." Matt said chuckling and continued to eat his breakfast in complete silence. Klaus and Rebekah were currently sitting in front of the TV, where I could keep an eye on them, without really having to be next to them.

'At least they seem to enjoy their new found being…' I thought, while I observed them watching some TV show for smaller kids. "Elena?" Matt asked after a while and I turned to look at him. "Yes?" "What are we going to do next?" He asked and put the plate into the dishwasher.

"We? Nothing." I answered and put my mug in the dishwasher as well. "It's too dangerous, I don't know yet what's going on, but… it's too dangerous for you. You'll stay here and I'll try to find Elijah. Perhaps he knows how to bring them back to their normal self." I explained and observed Matt's every move.

It was evident, that from my first words he had started to get angrier and angrier. "No! Dammit, Elena!" He nearly shouted and closed the dishwasher a bit more forcefully than necessarily. "Elena you've come to me for help and you're going to accept it now! That horrible and at the same time beautiful day, I promised you to help you whenever and wherever I could!

So I'll be coming with you, if you like it or not. We're together in this, Elena." He finished and I couldn't help but let a single tear escape. It was true… I had come to search for his help and he had promised me that day to help me and to protect me in every possible situation.

Of course that day I thought he had said it, because he felt obliged to, but it seemed that he had really felt that way. And if there was one thing I knew… Matt held his promises and he would follow the idea he had set in his mind. He was stubborn, sometimes way too much, but that was the same thing we had in common.

"Okay, okay…" I said and held my hand up in submission. "I think it is best we leave the others out of it. They would only want us to kill them and I know I should be feeling the same way, but they're kids now… and… I just can't." I managed to say, before I broke into tears. I tried to fight them, but I just couldn't.

Matt quickly wrapped his arms around me, whispering soothing words. I knew he hated people who were crying, that it made him feel uncomfortable and all. "It's okay… I… I'm fine now." I said and stepped out of his embrace, whipping away the tears. "I think I have myself back under control." I laughed and let out a deep breath, feeling a bit better now that I had cried.

**Later**

"Do you think that's really a good idea?" Matt whispered behind me, with Klaus on his shoulders and Rebekah on his arm. "No, but that's probably the only way to get some information, since we neither have Klaus's or Rebekah's phone." I whispered back, although there wasn't really the need to.

The mansion, Klaus's house, was empty and from the smell of it there hadn't been anyone around for some days, but still… since we had children with us, namely Klaus and Rebekah, we decided to be on the safe side and pay more attention.

"You do know, that what you're going to do is breaking and entering." Matt said, still not being comfortable with what we were about to do. "No, Matt. It's anything but, actually. We have the owners with us and they just, lost their keys… so we're actually helping them to get in." I explained and by the end of it, I had managed to open the back door.

'Never thought I would break into the house of an Original… Let alone the house of Klaus.' I thought and took the first step into the house, signalizing to Matt to stay behind until I had checked the place for any traps or something.

The house was dark and I was now standing in a dark hallway, clearly this part of the house was more for the servants. It was much simpler than the great hall we had been in at their ball. There weren't big chandeliers, marble floor or old paintings on the wall. In this part, the floor was of a simple wood, simple lightings and apart from some landscapes, there wasn't much wall decoration.

I walked until I reached the end of the hallway and with satisfaction, that I hadn't found any trap, I turned back around and walked back towards Matt. "It's clear, you can come in." I said smiling and watched him get up.

But because he had Klaus on his back and Rebekah in his arms it was quite hard for him. "Matt, give one to me. You don't need to carry them around both." I said and held out my hands. Secretly I was hoping he would give me the slightly lighter Rebekah, but unfortunately he gave me Klaus.

"You got to keep an eye open for him. He likes to cover your eyes, when you have him on your shoulders." Matt said and closed the door behind him. "To you know where we have to search?" Matt asked me and I gave him one of my 'Are you serious' looks.

"Yes, Matt. Because I spend all my free time in here. You know Klaus and I are buddies." I said trying to sound serious and pointed at the mini Klaus and me, but I couldn't keep a straight face and started to laugh really hard.

"Okay, okay. So, I guess we'll have to separate and search through every room." Matt sighted and walked towards the end of the hallway, where another staircase was. "Yeah, call if you find something." I answered and looked around the rooms on this floor.

Apart from a big kitchen, a room filled with fridges full of blood (from which I took the liberty to take one) and some other room for servants I wasn't able to find anything so I started to walk upstairs. And true to Matt's words earlier, just as I was in the middle of going up, Klaus put his hands before my eyes.

'I really wonder if he can understand anything… By this transformation I really wonder if he was just transformed into a two to three year old, conserving all his senses and everything or if he also got the … mental state of a three year old.'

But thanks to my Vampire abilities, it didn't really change anything if I could see or not. So I simply continued with my walk and once I had reached the upper floor, I did take away Klaus's hands from me, so I could start to look around.

Matt had gone to the floor over me, so it was now my job to 'clear' this floor. The first room I went in was one filled with cleaning stuff, so I knew I didn't have to investigate further in there. The second room was filled with duvet covers and pillow covers.

There were also some other rooms, filled with stuff that were needed on a daily basis, but that was not of interest for me. But then I entered a room, that I was sure belonged to Rebekah. It was decorated nicely, with a feminine touch and on the mirror where some pictures of her and her brothers and some other people.

I was not a fan of snooping around, but it had to be done and I was sure that Rebekah would forgive me for doing so (for once). I quickly put down Klaus on the floor and started my work. There was a desk near the mirror and I started to go through it. I found a dairy, to my big surprise, and many other little stuff.

I found then a notebook, with addresses and phone numbers. For a minute I really felt joyful and then I reached the letter 'E'. And everything seemed to crumble… there had been a page with names and addresses for the letter 'E', but someone had pulled out that page from the book. "Dammit!" I shouted angrily and threw the notebook away, causing Klaus to jump in astonishment and to start crying.

Quickly I went to him and hugged him, trying to make him stop crying. 'Never thought I would be comforting Klaus…' I thought and sighted heavily. "Shh… It's okay, don't cry. I'm sorry for frightening you." I whispered into his hear and caressed his golden hair.

After what seemed like an eternity, Klaus finally stopped crying and had once again fallen asleep in my arms. 'Okay,… Now I really have to be quiet…' I thought and just then I heard Matt shout from upstairs. "I found him! I found him!" Matt shouted over and over again.

Naturally he had shouted so loud, that Klaus once again woke up and started crying. Sighting heavily I stood up, while comforting Klaus and started to walk to the direction from which I had heard Matt shouting.

"Why were you shouting, Matt?" I asked a little bit annoyed, because Klaus just wouldn't stop crying and I had always had my problems with crying children. "Because I found him." He simple said and stepped aside so I could enter the bedroom.

There lying on the bed, in suit and everything, was Elijah with a dagger through his heart. "Great…" I muttered and walked over to Elijah. Not giving Matt a glance, I pulled out the dagger and sat onto the bed. "What now?" Matt asked sounding quite insecure. "We wait."

Sooo…. That was the second chapter. What did you think? Did you like it? Did you hate it? Please, please review to let me know what you thought. I don't know when I'll update next, but I'm sure it should be sometime next week. P.S. Thanks again for reading the past chapters and yeah, that's actually all.
