1000 years ago…

Jeremy ran through the forest screaming his sister's name. "Tatia! Tatia! TATIA!" He ran through the forest aimlessly guided only by his gut instinct and it gave him a good idea of where to find her the center of the forest. He kept running until he came to a fire and stone table covered in blood. "Tatia!" He then heard a little girl crying. He followed the sounds and found his niece Elizabeth he mouth was covered in blood. He rushed over to her "Elizabeth! Did she what did she do to you? Where's your mother?"

The little girl couldn't stop sobbing "The old blond lady she…" the little girl was struggling to speak. "had a knife to mommy's throat and said if I didn't come with them she'd kill her but she killed Mommy any way and, and…"

"What Elizabeth, what else did she do?" Jeremy was frantic he didn't know what to do.

Elizabeth burst into tears "She made me drink Mommy's blood."

Jeremy quickly hugged his five year old niece "I promise you Elizabeth no one will ever hurt you again and no matter how long, no matter what it takes Esther will pay for what she's done!"

The Next Day…

It was a cold afternoon as Jeremy starred into the fire his father approached him from behind. "My fears our confirmed Jeremiah, Esther cursed your sisters bloodline. Every five hundred years a doppelganger will be born in the image of your sister."

"That bitch, that bitch, that bitch, THAT BITCH!" Jeremy kept screaming this over and over his father merely stared at him a grieving look on his face.

"Jeremiah I need you to get the villagers to safety with your sister's blood Esther and Mikael have no doubt already turned themselves and children into the blood thirsty beasts in hopes of achieving immortality."

Jeremy despite his tears took a deep breath a composed himself. "Alright father where do you need me too take them?"

"There is a ship hidden not too far from here that I and a special few have kept in good condition for a moment like this. It can carry well over half the village."

"Cain and some of his fellow wolves have offered to stay to distract Mikael."

Jeremy shot a weird look at his father confused. "Why would Cain offer to distract Mikael doesn't he realize he'll be killed and why would Mikael attack the village?"

Jeremy's father took a deep breath his grip on his staff tightening "After telling the villagers of the situation Cain confided in me in private that some years ago he and Esther had an affair and that Niklaus was the result."

Jeremy could hardly breathe. "So that monster Mikael is going to kill everyone here just because failed to satisfy his woman?"

Jeremy's father placed his hand on his son's shoulder and stared into his eyes "Jeremiah I need you to listen to me you have to get our people across the ocean and to the land where they cannot reach them take the book with you as well perhaps it will find the key to ending this nightmare."

"Alright father I'll do as you ask."

Present Day…

Elijah and Kol were driving in front of Stefan and Damon as they were tracking Rebekah's cell phone's GPS. "How could this happen Kol? First Finn, then Niklaus we can't lose her to." Elijah was sweating as he drove the car.

Kol started rubbing his head. "Yeah I know we waited so long to be reunited and now. I can only imagine the terror she is experiencing."

Elsewhere…

"Oh god this feel so good!" Rebekah screamed as she felt the wind in her hair. "I've never felt better in my life!"

Jeremy just started laughing "That's good to here."

"So where are we going Denver? Kol told me you were there for a while."

"No longer than he was." Jeremy mumbled.

"What?" Rebekah shouted as the wind blew and speed of the car made it hard to hear.

"Yeah I was! Do you want me to roll the top up it's hard to hear?" Jeremy shouted over the strong wind.

"No it's fine I like it!"

Mystic Falls Hospital…

Meredith was sweating as she sat in front of the medical review board. She knew it was hopeless and that she was going to lose everything.

There were three people sitting at larger table in front of her reviewer Alaric's accusations the old man in the center of the table fixed his round glasses. "Miss Fell we are here to discuss the unethical practices you've been employing on your patients. Now given the claims made by Alaric Saltzman we have no choice but revoke your medical license immediately."

Suddenly a man dressed in an expensive suit about Meredith's age came bursting in he had hair and eyes the same color as her to. "I think that's enough of this nonsense my client is an excellent doctor and you no grounds to revoke her license."

"Client?" Meredith asked confused.

"Yes my name is Christian Sulez I've been hired on as your lawyer. Now…" Christian started to place a brief case on the table where Meredith sat. "Now before I smash you all into the ground and leave you all humiliated where is your evidence oh wait you have none. Well then let's look at Alaric Saltzman shall we." Christian started to pop open the brief case. He pulled out a very thick file that was among a journal, and letter addressed to Jeremy Gilbert.

He tosses the file onto the desk of the medical board. "In that file you will see that Alaric Saltzman has been the prime suspect in the recent string of gruesome serial murders, you will also find that since his mysterious disappearance they have stopped."

The man in the center adjusted his glasses yet again. "This all very interesting Mr. Sulez but what does it have to do with Dr. Fell's qualifications to be a doctor at this hospital?"

Christian straightened his tie. "Ah yes you see I'm going to prove to you that the accusations Saltzman has made are based on his troubled and unfortunate mental state. Let me draw your attention to a letter he wrote to a Jeremy Gilbert while the young man was in Denver." He took out a sealed letter and the journal. "In these you'll find Saltzman's delusional state to be more than verified. He talks of vampires and magic rings how they plague Mystic Falls he even boasts about how vampires ruined his life. I think you'll find that the hand writing matches his perfectly. Now do you really want to take the word of such a man over the word of Ms. Fell?"

The man in the middle of the table exchanged glares at his fellow doctor's. "Well Mr. Sulez I think that this new information merits some investigation Ms. Fell you can keep your license until we and the proper authorities have a chance to review this… shocking new evidence."

As Christian walked Meredith out of the room she slapped unable to stop herself from crying. "Bastard! How could you ruin Alaric's reputation like that?"

Christian merely rubbed is right cheek "Meredith last I checked I'm a lawyer sent by my main employer to represent you I did my job and I didn't present any evidence that wasn't false or say anything that wasn't true." Christian then smirked "Besides I know so much about you I feel like we're family. Now would like to talk to you about a job opportunity."

"What kind of job opportunity?"

"Ah yes my employer Mr. von Schwarzchild has an interest in vampire blood much like you in fact he's been conducting his own experiments with it however he hasn't achieved his desired results and he hopes that someone with your expertise in the subject can help them. What will it be stay here and risk your career or come with me and make history?"

The Airfield…

Jeremy pulled into the airfield with an old sedan pulling in behind them. "What's going on Jeremy?" Rebekah started to grow uneasy as she saw the jet and the sedan though she couldn't tell who was in it.

Jeremy took "Yeah listen I haven't been completely honest with you and for that I apologize."

"What do you mean Jeremy?"

Jeremy turned his head and looked deep into her eyes "Rebekah what if I told you that your mother lied about creating the spell that made you into vampires? What if I told you that she did the spell wrong and that for a thousand years it has been my dream no my ambition to fix her mistake and to see you happy?"
