Welcome back! I hope you enjoy!

In a stroke of luck, Elena is at her house with Jeremy and Alaric which is at least 3 of the 11 stakes which I need to find, maybe a few more. I ponder whether to use force to get inside or try to get them to let me in, I choose the latter because I did promise Caroline no killing (even though that's no fun). Loudly I knock on their front door. The young Gilbert is the one to open the door, his eyes bulge comically out of his head when he sees me. "Jeremy, who is it?" Elena asks but slightly trails off when she sees me at the door. She freezes in place.

I wiggle my fingers in a hello. "Hi, Elena." I say in a sickeningly sweet tone.

She motions for her brother to go upstairs, probably also to call the Salvatores. He does and almost sprints upstairs. The doppelganger then turns to me. "What are you doing here?" She asks trying to keep the terror out of her voice however her eyes show it perfectly.

"To talk." I state bluntly keeping my voice neutral.

"About what?"

"The fact you can't kill me and I can't kill you without annoying my brother. In light of that, I think that we should try and put this silly little feud which your friends and you have with my family." I explain, that isn't initially false but it's not true either.

Elena looks confused, as usual. "Why would you want to do that?"

"My family and I have bigger things to worry about than teenagers." I admit, all of that is actually true. "So, why don't you invite me in?"

"I'd rather not do that."

I'm now tired of this game of cat and mouse. "Elena, I know that you have white oak. So, I'm going to give you one chance before I begin to start systematically killing people who you care about." I threaten her. Elena seems to be speechless. "Invite me in or your boyfriends will be the first ones to go."

That seems to wake her up. "If you do that then we'll just kill you."

I smirk at her. "You really think so?" I lean against the doorframe, our faces are only separated by the invisible barrier of her house. I've never really seen Elena up close, the only difference between her and the other two doppelgangers is her eyes. Many say that the eyes are windows to the soul and if that's true then she is so very different then Tatia and Katerina, I suppose that's why I never fell for her unlike the other two. She takes a step back. "Elena if you dare ever threaten me or my family again, I'll rip your limb from limb no matter how much it pisses off Niklaus." She gulps and inhales sharply. "I'll ask one more time, invite me in."

After a few seconds, she finally comes to a conclusion. "Under one condition, you have to vow not to hurt my brother or Alaric."

"You have my word."

"Come in." She looks to instantly regret it as I step into the house in triumph.

"Shall we?" I motion towards the living room. Elena nods and we walk into the room then sit down across each other. "I have very simple terms, you hand over every piece of White Oak which you own to me and no longer plot to kill us then my family and I will no longer bother you, we'll allow you to live your trivial little life in peace." I propose as I lean back into the chair.

She thinks it over for a second. "You'll also leave Mystic Falls."

"No." I tell her without a second thought.

"Why no?"

"I like it here. However, most of my siblings will soon spread across the globe so don't fret too much." I explain and her face seems to tighten slightly. "Elena, do you really think you can kill us?"

"We only need to kill one." She states trying to act confident.

I chuckle. "No, you need to kill 6 when the bond is broken. You may be able to kill one of us but then we'll kill you all. Hand over the stakes and save your lives. Don't you want to live? Graduate? Get married? Have kids? Grow old with someone? Actually, scratch that the way you're going your going to grow old whilst your boyfriends don't."

Elena sighs deeply. "Fine. There are 6 of them. I'll get them all to you by tomorrow."

"What and not the other 6 of them, how rude. That's one for each of us. Can't allow that." I taunt using the knowledge which I was given to my advantage. Elena's face scrunches up. I stand up happy with my work. "Get me the stakes, Elena. I'd rather not allow this to get ugly." Then I walk out of the house closing the door loudly behind me as I do.

When I return home, I find Finn and Sage talking in quiet voices next to the stairs. They are both smiling like fools at each other, I really hope that I don't look like that even I'm looking at Caroline or I may just drive that stake through my own heart. They both abruptly turn to me like I'm walking in on something all too private. "Alexandra." Finn says in a way of greeting. He doesn't smile or show me any type of warmth when he does though however, I don't blame him, I did just force him to help us or I'd kill his lady love so I kinda deserve it.

"Enjoying yourselves?" I taunt with a smirk on my face.

Finn's face goes into a deep frown at that. "I would watch it if were you, at least Sage is over 900 years old. How old is that girl of your's, not even 2 years?"

I give him a humourless laugh. "If you threaten Caroline, I'll not only kill Sage in front of your eyes but also dagger you for another 900 years." I tell him with a threatening undertone to my voice. Then I walk towards where I know Kol and Niklaus will be with that witch. I should also call Rebekah to tell her that the White Oak is under control but I don't believe that my sister will allow Elena or any of her friends (including Caroline) live until we have all of the White Oak in our possession.

They have their backs turned to me as I enter the room. The witch is sat down with my brothers looking over her shoulder. The witch has wavy, long, dirty blonde hair, a black blazer and what seems to be jeans from what I can see. Her posture is very straight, much like those from her time would sit. "Did it ever occur to either of you that maybe standing over her is distracting?" I ask walking towards them.

The three of them turn around suddenly. The witch has a face which I recognize but I can't put the face to a name or where I remember her from, it was 100 years ago to be fair. Kol grins at me, I know from that look that he's about to tease me. "Is Alex in love?" He taunts and his voice clearly showing that.

I ignore my ignoramus of a brother and look towards the witch. Then it hits me, she's Freya, the witch that Kol brought to the Christmas party in 1914. "Good to see you again, Freya." I greet with a slight smile.

"You too, Alexandra." She smiles back at me. There seems to be something more than just someone who she barely new remembering her, it seems to be something much deeper. "I'm surprised that you remember me." She then adds making me stop studying her so I can answer her.

"I remember saying that you could do better than my moronic brother at that Christmas party, a very eventful night." I state moving to see what she's doing. There are six candles in a semi-circle and a cup of blood to the side. There is also my mother's grimoire with the page that the spell is on open, Freya has that just in front of her. "How's this all meant to work?" I ask her. I hear the door to the house closing behind someone meaning that Finn and Sage have gone out probably meaning that they've gone out to see the town or something trivial like that.

"Well, I need the blood of all 6 of you. Then I basically need to do what Esther chanted in reverse and your blood should divide meaning that it's all broken." She explains simply to me which I'm thankful for because most witch talk I don't understand.

"When can you do it?" I ask crossing my arms.

"First, I do need your blood." Freya says and hands me a knife, how civilized. I don't respond and just cut my palm over the cup, my blood drips into the cup until Freya nods telling I can stop now. I watch as the skin on my hand knits back together. "An hour or so and you'll all be unlinked. I just need to make sure that I've got this all done, no one wants to mess this up." She tells us looking back at the spell book.

Niklaus looks slightly shocked by this. "You can draw that much power without it even being a full moon?"

"Yes, I can."

It actually takes a 3/4 of an hour for Freya to start the spell, she lights the 6 candles with a wave of her hand. Kol has already walked off to go get something to eat, I'm sat on the couch whilst Nik is still behind her. He seems to be getting more suspicious by her as time goes on. My attention is mostly taken up by the fact that I'm texting Caroline.

C-Are you free tomorrow?

A- It depends on why do I need to be free?

C- We should go on a date or something like that.

A- Are you asking me out on a date, Caroline?

C- Yes, I am. Why are you so difficult?

I chuckle quietly to myself at that. Niklaus looks at me like I weird. "It's called texting, Nik."

"I know what texting is, Alex." He replies before turning back to Freya to complain about how she's not going quick enough.

A- I'd love to go on a date with you. Where would we be going?

C- It's a surprise

A- Can't wait

I look up when Freya pours the mixture of mine and my siblings' blood onto the table. She then begins chanting in a forgotten language. The flames on the candles begin to flare. The blood begins to part six-ways towards a specific candle. The flames grow higher and higher as the blood becomes less linked and less linked. Then the chanting stops and blood is fully parted. "It's done." Freya tells us both.

"I don't feel any different." I admit, Nik nods in agreement.

"Let's see if it was broken." He says as he slices his hand, however, I don't feel it (which I'm very grateful for).

I smirk. "Nothing." I then turn to Freya. "Thank you, very much. We are all in your debt." Nik makes a noise of protest. "Well, at least I am."

There is then a loud slam of the front door and a sound which is like someone is being thrown inside the house. "Rebekah must be home." Niklaus states as he walks towards the front door. I make eye contact with Freya again nodding in thanks before going to go see what all the fuss is about.

When I arrive I see Damon Salvatore who is restrained by chains and what seems to be bear traps to secure his hands and feet, his shirt is ripped open and he has two rather large cuts on his chest. Rebekah has a knife in her hand looking pleased with herself. "What the bloody hell is going on?" I ask completely confused by my sister's newest hobby.

"He hurt my feelings so, I'm going to bleed him of vervain and force him to kill his brother... or maybe Elena." Rebekah explains to both Klaus and I. Damon looks rather worried when she mentions Elena.

"Wouldn't it be better if you turn him upside down?" Niklaus suggests making a movement adding to his point.

"I'm perfectly capable of inflicting pain, thank you very much." Rebekah replies.

Nik snorts. "It's not like I have any expertise in the matter." Niklaus says sarcastically.

"Yeah, this was fun but I'm going to go walk the witch out then maybe go do something more fun." I tell them both. I'm really not in the mood to watch Bekah be a brat and torture Damon for it. Anyway, I need to go get the stakes from Elena.

"Is our bond broken?" Rebekah asks.

"Completely." I tell Rebekah with a smirk directed at Damon. "Looks like you can't kill us all now." I taunt Damon with a grin on my face.

Then I turn on my heels and leave whatever they are doing. I smile at her. "How about I buy you a drink in a thank you." I suggest trying to get away from my siblings. She seems to be slightly weirded out by my suggestion. "Not in that way, I mean as friends."

"I'd love to."

We walk towards the door to see that Rebekah is back to torturing Damon. "Rebekah, please clean up after yourself when you're done." I shout before opening the door. I hear a laugh from the other room then a pained groan from Damon, if we were still friends I'd feel bad for the guy but he did try to kill my family and I for times than I have fingers so my sympathy isn't present.

The grill isn't that far away from here so we decide to walk. It's dark by now. "How did you end up in that hellhole?" I ask Freya.

"The witches began to use it as a place to keep witches meaning and I was put in there." She explains briefly.

"A bad girl, ay?"

"Not many witches took kindly to me spending so much time with vampires." She tells me. "I slept for 100 years until Kol found me and helped me break out."

I nod at her story. "Yeah, witches don't like my family at all. We might see the Bennett witch who just despises me, to be fair I did almost kill her once or twice."

She laughs quietly. "Now that's unbelievable, it's not like you or your family torture people or anything." Freya remarks sarcastically.

"We'd never."

We get within human hearing range of the Grill when I hear a scream. Normally I wouldn't care that but it's Sage's scream which isn't good because that means that something is happening to Finn. Freya and I exchange a glance before going over to the source. When I get there I see that Sage is fine but my brother is not. His body is burning with a stake in his chest. My brother is dead.

I hope you enjoyed! Review, fav and follow if u did and I'll see you next time!
