Marie tossed and turned in her sleep in her dreams she was surrounded by coldness. Marie watched the ghostly figures in front of her, a pregnant blond woman held onto her toddler son's arm firmly as he tried to reach out for a little blonde girl who was being dragged away by another woman. Marie flinched as the little boy screamed after the little girl "Freya!" and the little girl screamed for her mother – begging for her mother with tears in her eyes. Marie gazed at the woman who gripped on the little girl tightly, clawing her fingernails into her arm to prevent the little girl from returning to her mother.

Why is the mother of this child not doing anything? Marie wondered.

Marie held her breath as the woman that took the little girl stared straight at Marie, the woman gave Marie a dark smile. Marie gasped falling backwards as the woman rushed at Marie as she became lively. Marie stared at the woman in horror as the woman smiles over her "Oh sweet darling, I been trying to find you for centuries…" Marie stared at her eyes, her brown eyes were the definition of darkness. Her eyes were cruel and apathetic, her face seemed to age slightly as she became livelier.

Marie shut her eyes trying to wake up. Marie opened her eyes again the woman laughs gazing into the darkness Marie glanced over seeing a ghostly image of herself when she was a child running in the woods. Marie flinched by the memory, it was the first time the spirits made themselves known to her, she was five years old and she was found stranded. Marie's younger self was screaming for Kol and Rebekah because she was with them at the market until the spirits made her wonder miles away. "I was so close in getting you when you were younger, my sweet." She laughed as Marie ran, it felt like she was in an endless loop – never being able to escape ever again…

Marie gasped awake holding her chest as she felt a burning sensation, Marie gazed down at her birthmark noticing it was the cause of her pain. The mark was placed as a final protection in order to protect her from her family when she was given to them by Ayanna Bennet on the night they turned to vampires. Marie breathed wincing in pain, she was covered in sweat Marie stood up. The pain slowly disappeared, Marie gazed down as the mark became normal again, she sighs. I can't sleep anymore… that didn't feel like a dream at all… Marie opened the door to her room, it was still dark out as she made her way downstairs. Marie smiled lightly seeing Kol in front of the TV playing his favorite thing of the century, video games.

"Why am I not surprise." Marie teased, hiding her shaken feeling she felt from awakening.

Kol turned slightly then back at his game, "Can't help it darling, since you and Runa introduced me to this it been something to entertain me. I was surprise Kaleb and his roommates had it too – I have someone to play with again, it's fascinating I can play with others when they aren't physically here." Kol added with a chuckle, "I think the humans found some sort of magic in making these devices."

Marie laughed, "It amazes me how fast you pick up things."

Kol shrugged, "Not that difficult, besides humans have everything on that Google encyclopedia. It updated me on everything I've missed, been doing that on my free time." Marie sat on the couch beside him. Kol peered at her slightly, "Thought you don't have night terrors anymore since you were human."

Marie shook her head, "This was different, it was like I was watching someone else's memories and then the memories came alive and attacked me."

Kol paused his game giving her his full attention, he frowns, "Like you were in the spirit world?"

"Sort of… but this woman was so lively – I think she is still alive." Marie responded.

Kol narrowed his eyes, "Show me." Marie glanced at him nervously knowing he wouldn't take no for an answer. Marie put his hands on her temples, as she let him in. Kol's eyes darkened seeing the dream it was similar to the images he witnessed when he interacted with the coffin in the witch prison. "It's the same vision I got when I went into that witch house – thanks for the heads up by the way, I nearly got killed by the dark magic that lingers there." Kol remarked, if he didn't put a protection spell on himself before he went into the house the concussion he got in Kaleb's body would have been worse.

Marie's eyes widen, "Why didn't you tell me this?"

Kol shrugged, "Didn't want to overwhelm you darling."

Marie frowns, "So the woman that took the little girl is the dark presence we felt in the house?"

Kol shook his head, "That was the little girl Freya – she not so small anymore I got the image of her face in my mind after her lingering magic attacked me. If the little girl had that much dark magic I can't imagine the devilish woman that took her."

Marie groans laying her body on the couch not caring for Kol's annoyance as she placed her legs on his lap almost kicking the controller out of his hands. "So, I have two dark witches after me because…?"

Kol played his game again remarking, "Probably something to do with Esther, I remember hearing her name within the encounter."

"What?!" Marie froze, after the encounter with Celeste seeing Esther again chilled her to the core and to hear she was involved with these two dark witches caused her panic.

Kol sighs in annoyance, "You know I play my game this late at night for peace because you lot bother me throughout the day." Kol paused the game again glaring at her, "Yes the harlot is a part of it, and no don't start freaking out. We are all together, and this city is run by old vampires, we have better odds here than back at Mystic Falls."

"Kol, thanks to Esther you died!" Marie exclaimed.

"Yes, I am aware. Please can I just entertain myself just for a few hours before everything goes to hell yet again because our bloody past love to screw up our lives? I am tired of Nik's moods and Rebekah's panic, I just want to be left alone." Kol stared at Marie daring her to speak. Marie shut her mouth glaring at him. To some extent she can understand Kol's point, after dying he just wanted to live life and she can see his frustrations with dealing the rising issues again. Marie watched Kol shoot zombies in military uniforms, he disregarded Marie's glances keeping his eyes on the game.

Marie scooted leaning on his shoulder, Kol rolled his eyes, "Darling don't push me, we had a long day I rather not get ugly." Marie ignored him making his leg a pillow. "You are more annoying then Rebekah. Make yourself comfortable." Kol remarked sarcastically as he minded where he put his elbow since Marie had to be annoying and use him as a pillow. Marie stared up at the ceiling trying to have Kol's mindset of being unconcerned with the darkness that will cross their paths and just focus on what little peace he had left. Marie have to give it to Kol she would have love to have his uncanny way to disregard emotions especially during alarming times.

"What does Freya look like now?" Marie asked, since she was awake she might as well sketch the things she saw so it would be easier for her to picture everything.

Kol narrowed his eyes, "Would you finally leave?" Marie nodded Kol rolled his eyes as he let Marie into his mind, Marie could feel the emotions that Kol was hit with and it concerned her as they were directed towards her when an old memory of her past in a flash. Marie pulled away seeing Freya's older face, she couldn't shake off the feeling she seen her before. Marie ponder on where Freya had seen her, because the memory Kol got from the coffin was Freya and she must have crossed paths before.

Marie sat on the floor with a sketch book and pencils, Kol sighs but was glad she finally gave him some breathing space. Marie sketched the different faces catching the expressions. Marie stared at the little boy from the memory, his eyes look so familiar, the mother was pregnant with a third child, "Kol what's the age difference between Finn and Elijah?"

Kol hummed barely paying attention to her, "Three years, why that matter?"

Marie held up the picture she drew of the little boy and pregnant mother, "Would it be a coincidence if this is Esther pregnant with Elijah and this little boy is Finn?"

That peeked Kol's interest, he put the game aside glaring at the picture looking at the faces, "I vaguely remembered what Esther looked like when she was younger. We are in luck that Finn is under the same roof, we can ask him ourselves."

"Now?" Marie asked as he ran upstairs.

"Like you said darling, this is pressing manner." Kol remarked as he slammed opened the door to Finn's and Sage's room, "Cover anything you don't want me to see, because I'm coming in."

Marie could hear Sage yelling at Kol's perverseness, at this rate the whole house will be up. Kol sat on the bed ignoring Sage's death glares as she held the sheets as Kol put the sketch in Finn's face, "Tell me about this day."

Finn scanned the sketch, he gazed at Kol, "How do you know about this?"

Kol narrowed his eyes pulling Finn out of bed, "Both Marie and I were around some mysterious dark magic and this memory came from that magic." Kol sneered, "Tell me brother, we are finally getting along again, let's not ruin that."

Sage burned red as the rest of the household decided to come investigate, she took the covers and left Finn to deal with the interrogation. Finn glanced around noticing the rest of his siblings came for an explanation. "We had a sister, I was three at the time I barely remembered what truly happened to her… but by this sketch I remember Esther holding onto me as Freya was taken away from Esther's sister Dahlia. I don't remember why, Esther told me that Freya died of the plague that was the reason why we came to the New World."

"I'm really starting to hate this family's secrets." Kol remarked throwing his hands-off Finn. Kol threw another picture at Finn this time an older sketch of Freya, "She didn't die, her dark magic nearly killed me, she wiped out a house that held over twenty witches."

The Originals stared at each other in shock, they had an older sibling – but this lost sister is a threat too especially if she holds a grudge on whatever their mother has done to her. Marie shivered there are more dark witches in this family that want to harm us…Marie glanced at her father knowing what she will say would make him paranoid, Marie held out the sketch of Dahila in her dream, "This is what I suspect Dahlia looks like now, somehow she is still alive and powerful… I had a night terror today this time the woman was actually there, and she spoke to me. She told me she was searching for me for centuries and when I was a child she missed her opportunity to take me."

Marie noticed the change in Klaus's emotion, fear turning into rage, "Esther tormented you as a child, for centuries. And you are telling me she even had her psychotic sister try to take you from me?!" Klaus held himself together before he can destroy something. Klaus narrowed his eyes, "You aren't a child anymore what purpose does she want?"

Marie stayed silent, Kol rolled his eyes at Klaus, "Just like Esther – power. And Marie has lots of it." Klaus held a passive mask hiding his build up murderous rage and frustration.

Klaus's voice was low and threatening he glared around especially settling on Finn, "We are a family, we protect this family no matter the bad blood we had amongst each other. We are not going to allow these witches to come here and think we are going to welcome with open arms and have Marie as a bloody magic well." Klaus stared deadly at Finn for he did not trust him especially since last time he betrayed this family for he found Esther alive, Klaus will not have the same thing happen again but this time with a lost sister. Klaus pointed at Finn threateningly, "I swear if you turn to your lost sister I will kill you and Sage without hesitation. I must remind you, you had a hand in raising Marie and you be damned if you do not protect her from a woman whose goal is to gain more power. Understand me."

Finn nods looking at Klaus in seriousness he looked at Marie seeing the fear building up inside her. Sage, in a robe, came and wrap an arm around Marie in comfort.

Marie frowns as she felt overwhelmed, "Why can't we have estranged relatives that didn't want to inflict pain, is that too hard to ask for?" It seems the universe finds ways to keep her family on high alert with rising threats.

Everyone gazed at Marie knowing the sincerity of her frustration. Kol peered around and remarked sarcastically, "Marie even in this family we inflict pain on each other once in a while, seems like it goes for distant relatives."

Marie shook her head leaving the room both Rebekah and Sage glared at Kol, Rebekah snarked, "Kol for once in your life stop acting like you don't care, you are really getting on everyone's nerves."

As the women left, the four brothers stayed inside the tense room. Elijah shook his head, "To imagine our eldest sibling following in the footsteps of our mother."

Klaus glared at Elijah throwing the sketch Marie drew of Freya, "She sure does have her looks. She is hiding in the shadows within the city. She has potential power that can neutralize us, we need to prepare for the war."

Finn looked at Klaus nervously, "What if she wants to be a part of this family?"

Klaus snarls at him, "You do not have a say in this. You lack the right judgment in protecting this family."

Kol remarked, "Besides the emotions within her dark magic gave off rage and jealousy… don't think those emotions are a healthy feeling for someone to have that wants to be welcomed into a family."

Elijah mused, "Kol does have a point, if we do come across her, we need to be cautious."

Klaus growls, "I don't care what you say. I will break down doors until I find her." Elijah sighs he knew Klaus would go to the shoot first, ask questions later approach.

Kol smirked slightly, "Guess we are going on another witch hunt."

Klaus was ready to end the werewolf curse for the Crescent wolves, but he lacked a witch to do the spell and he was even more hesitant to involve Marie especially if using her magic can attract darkness. He can even tell Marie was scared to leave the mansion, she already dealt with Esther and Mikael he can't imagine the buildup fear she must feel with two more relatives targeting her.

Klaus heard that the Harvest girls were brought back, and he was certain Marcel wouldn't be excited with him wanting to break the curse Marcel placed on the wolves. Klaus glares in annoyance by the situation he felt it will be a lost cause to get the wolves to ally with him. Klaus narrowed his eyes feeling a presence walk behind him in the bayou, "It is unwise to sneak up on someone." Klaus turned slightly he froze seeing the woman that Marie had sketched Freya… Klaus held his rage, if the witch wanted to harm him she would have done it already. Klaus remarked giving her a suspicious look, "I must be popular with the witches lately to have so many come to me." Klaus held back from letting Freya know he knows exactly who she is because he was curious what she wanted and he was curious on how she was still human after a thousand years.

Freya smiled at him, Klaus held himself from snapping her eyes and that smile reminded him of Esther. "It seems you are lacking in respect from the witch community." Freya smiled at him.

"I had my better days." Klaus remarked narrowing his eyes, let me guess she wants to try to get in my good graces and earn my trust to get close to Marie.

"If you are lacking an ally with magic –."

It was too much for Klaus he snapped, "And what do you get out of it?"

Freya blinked unaware of Klaus's built up rage, "A family."

Klaus rolled his eyes flashing towards her rage growing, "Oh please, and you think breaking a curse on some wolves would get us to trust you? We don't know you."

Freya stared at him, "But I want you to get to know me, I'm your sister."

Klaus sneers at her, "I already have a sister, I'm not looking for anymore." Klaus growls in pain as Freya glares at him causing him to bleed through his nose and eyes. Klaus snarls, "My point exactly, how can I trust you when you do a tantrum when you don't get what you want?"

Freya narrowed her eyes he's testing me. Freya seized her magic, "It seems I will have to make it up to you."

Klaus smirked at her darkly, "It won't be that easy sweetheart." Freya studied him, out of the family members she came across in the centuries, Klaus was the main one she may have trouble gaining trust with.

1922 Chicago

Klaus smirked slightly at the club he opened, the music was so lively the first crowds of people entered the doors, excitement was in the air. Klaus needed something to distract him, after he daggered Kol Marie wanted time away from America for it was a painful reminder. Klaus wasn't sure exactly where she was. After the Great War that ended in 1918, she wanted to help people in Europe and he had to give it to his daughter she didn't get her big heart from him. Elijah was away from Klaus as well for he started to sense the growing darkness that rose in Klaus every time Elijah tried to interfere with his affairs. But his dear sister was so desperate in protecting Klaus from his own problems she followed him. To be fair he enjoyed his sister's company, so far she hadn't given him a reason to dagger her, but he knew eventually she will and Elijah would finally be alone. It was a shame Elijah had to cross him all those centuries ago all of this could have been avoided – he was excited to see Elijah's reaction when he finds himself on this world family-less, Klaus just hoped Marie wouldn't give Elijah comfort for he was the one that brought this on himself – their siblings were just collateral damage.

"This place is amazing." Klaus smirked at the compliment he grins more seeing it was a vampire that appraised his work.

Klaus grins, "Thanks mate, hope you enjoy."

The vampire held out his hand, "Stefan Salvatore." Klaus stared at the man and he grinned larger The Ripper of Monterey…

"Klaus Mikaelson."

And it was a start of a chaotic and beautiful friendship, they had many similarities when it came to family history of parents and distant relations with a sibling. For the first time in a while Klaus enjoyed himself, he pushed back his rage and vengeance towards his brother. Stefan was like another brother to Klaus, it was a long time where he felt close to someone again.

Klaus noticed how Stefan looked at Rebekah, he narrowed his eyes curious on his sister's loyalties. He saw the way they interacted with each other, his sister he knew was a fool that loves blindly. If Stefan knows what's good for him he would tread lightly before their relationship causes a problem.

In the distance Freya looked upon Klaus and Rebekah they were in company with another vampire and a few humans in a booth. She narrowed her eyes as the humans on the booth were gorged while the rest of the club was ignorant of the murders that took place. Freya had the burning rage for their mother for Esther turned her dream for a family into monsters, for what? Immortality, it amused Freya that her mother cared so much for her other children and she desperately try to find a way to keep them from dying while Esther just threw her away like she was not worth saving. What was so important about her other children that Esther broke balance within nature? Freya studied her younger siblings, to her they don't seem they deserve their mother's sacrifice. They spent over twenty years together and have the parents and family she craved to have – now centuries most of them separated, why would they leave each other? Do they not know they are taking advantage of the gift of family?

Klaus narrowed his eyes turning slightly to the crowd of people in the club, he felt eyes watching him, but he couldn't pin point where. The feeling he got, it was a bad feeling he couldn't shake – Klaus grabbed Rebekah throwing himself over her, "Get down!" The windows of the club was shot up with a spray of bullets, Stefan dove down under the table, he gazed around in shock. Stefan held up one of the bullets – they were wooden.

Klaus eyes widen he found us! Klaus pushed Rebekah, "We need to go now!"

Rebekah looked back at her brother and Stefan and she ran with the crowd of people the exit. Klaus turned and grabbed Stefan, he was a liability. Klaus held his gaze, "You are going to forget about me and my sister, just remember you enjoyed yourself in Chicago. Stay alive my friend." Klaus pushed Stefan aside. He could have killed him, but Klaus decide to give him mercy. Klaus flashed out the club to catch up with his sister, hoping they can out run Mikael once again.

Freya hid herself from the bullets, her siblings ran off, but she was frozen. She stared at the man that came through the doors Father…Mikael narrowed his eyes gazing over the bodies not seeing any familiar faces. Freya stared at him, shocked to see him for she never thought she will see her father. Mikael, she knew was such a loving father to her, and to see him so full of rage… guess mother ruined everyone with her immortality spell. Protecting her family with that spell gave her the price to watch them turn cruel.

Miles away Klaus was able to catch up with Rebekah, she gazed behind him, "Where's Stefan?"

"Forget about him, we need to go." Klaus urged trying to pull her along, but she threw his hand off her.

"No! I am not going anywhere without him!" Rebekah screamed.

Klaus narrowed his eyes, he gave her a serious look, "Choose. Me or him." Rebekah hesitated, she noticed his eyes darkened. Klaus flashed at her sticking the dagger into her heart, Rebekah gasped staring at him in utter betrayal. Klaus shook his head, "Sorry love, I cannot allow you to leave me." Rebekah greyed as he picked her up. Klaus sighs, out of all his siblings, he knew Rebekah would be the hardest for him to put down. But at least his quest to take everything that Elijah cares about is finally over, now he just need to make sure Elijah can never find his siblings and the real torment will begin. Klaus smirked slightly well Elijah now it's your turn to feel the endless rage and pain as I feel.

The full moon shined over the bayou Klaus spent the day speaking to this woman and he had to say she seemed so desperate to be a part of something it was truly pathetic. The desperate was easy to manipulate to do his bidding, she wanted his family – he will be damned if he would let another evil under the same roof. He found it amusing she didn't mention Dahlia, that told him right there the woman did not hold the wellbeing of his family's best interest for she disregard one of the biggest threats that can come to them. The woman blabber about magic and how much she has, trying to get him to see her as something that he needs, he had to give it to her it was worth a shot. It was tempting, but this time he wouldn't be tempted by power over his family. When she breaks the curse, he be done playing nice.

Klaus smirked slightly seeing the wolves change back to humans, they excitedly hugged one another. Klaus remarked to Freya, "Wait here, I need to earn their respect with talking to their alpha." Freya gave him a frown not keen on him commanding her.

Klaus rolled his eyes at the woman trying to intimidate him, he turns walking towards the rowdy werewolves. Klaus put his arms up in a friendly manner holding cartons of beers as a peace offering, he figured it might win him some support.

Klaus noticed eyes on him he grins, "Sorry to intrude, I just wanted to bring these over." Some of the werewolves smiled taking the cartons happily. Klaus scanned the area noticing a woman and man looking at him suspiciously. The dark-haired man walked up to Klaus, he figured this was the alpha, "Mary Dumas, told me where you all come when the moon is full. I have a proposing for your people."

Jackson narrowed his eyes in suspicion, "What can a vampire offer?"

Klaus gazed at the man allowing his eyes to glow gold, "I'm not only a vampire but a werewolf as well. I came here to offer to break the curse."

Jackson's eyes grew in surprise, he glanced over to the woman, "Andrea you need to hear this." The woman glanced at him suspiciously her hazel green eyes narrowed.

Klaus smiled at her, "I am here to break this curse, so you can all turn to wolves as you should once every full moon."

"And what do you benefit from this?" Andrea asked, Klaus smiled at her feeling she may also be another alpha.

Klaus shrugged, "Well since you ask Little Wolf, I can offer a chance for anyone in your pack a chance to never need to change again. I can imagine there are a few of your members who hate being what they are especially if they are forced to stay in a form that they loath every day until the full moon."

Jackson and Andrea glanced at one another. Jackson asked, "How can we never need to change?"

Klaus grins, "I can turn werewolves into hybrids, they will be stronger and faster even in their human form."

Jackson frowns, "But they will be undead."

Klaus shrugs, "In technical terms, yes. But don't disregard that offer for that reason, let your people decide on themselves. They will still be a part of your pack, they can just choose not to turn."

Jackson asked, "And you want more hybrids? Why?"

Klaus sighs, "I don't want to be my only kind, I figure if I can give this gift to others it would be a win win situation for everyone."

The couple looked at each other determining if the deal to break the curse was worth having some of their pack members to turn to hybrids. They know a few of them hates being wolves and would take the offer without asking any questions, that worried them.

"I would decide quickly; the curse can only be broken under the full moon." Klaus pressed.

Andrea glanced at Jackson, "You decide."

Jackson stared at Klaus, "We have a deal." Klaus grins perfect.

Freya prepared the ritual under the moonlight, the werewolves stood around her. Klaus narrowed his eyes he was cautious if the witch would cross him. Freya raised her hands absorbing the power of the moon extracting the curse from it, twisting it to its natural lycanthropy to where the werewolves turn to wolves on every full moon. Freeing the humans from the beasts, able to be in their skins again, rather forced to be themselves once a month.

Klaus watched as the full moon went to it's final phase, the werewolves gazed at the moon nervously waiting for the moon phase to pass to determine if they will stay human or go back to their wolf forms. Everyone was silent as the moon lowered, Klaus grins as the full moon phase passed and the wolves stayed human. The werewolves cheered, the curse was finally broken, and they are finally free.

Klaus watched as the alphas embraced, Klaus nodded to them, "I will give you all time to consider my offer before the next full moon, inform the others." They nod as Klaus smirked as the other wolves thanked him as he walked back to Freya.

Klaus smirk, "You are slowly gaining my trust witch. I will be in contact with you."

Freya gazed at him, "I am planning to meet the others."

Klaus glared at her, "You should wait until I introduce you, my family doesn't handle new comers so well."

Freya tilt her head, "If I didn't know better, it seems you are reluctant for me to meet the rest of our family." Klaus kept himself from snarling.

"Sorry, but I learn to be cautious with family." Klaus remarked just as Kol flashed in front of Freya blowing spices into her face to knock her out.

Kol respond sarcastically, "You know I never approved the plan on allowing the witch to live."

Klaus shrugged, "You and I are skilled in torturing to get information."

Kol sneers, "Ah like old times?"

Klaus smirked darkly as he picked up Freya, "You have any dark objects that will be useful?"

Kol's eyes sparkled with mischief, "Oh you have no idea…"
