When she heard the knock on the front door, Caroline went to answer it, grinning when she saw Elena on the other side. "Hi," she said. "What brings you here?"

"You're going to think it's weird," Elena said.

Caroline shook her head and led Elena into the kitchen. "After everything we've been through, I don't think I'll ever see anything as weird again. So what do you need?" She went to the refrigerator and grabbed two Cokes out of the refrigerator, handing one to Elena.

Elena thought a moment, then said "Who's all home besides you? Is Tyler here? I need to know where his parents buried Selina's mom after Katherine killed her."

Caroline took a sip. "You could ask them yourself," she said. "I don't think Tyler would know anything about that. I asked him about it and he said that he and Mason took Selina to their lake house as soon as Amelia was killed, so he wasn't there when his parents took care of her body."

Elena nodded, placing her pop can on the counter. "So are they here now?" She asked. "Can I ask them?"

"Yeah," Caroline nodded. "They're outside on the deck. Follow me," She began walking toward the screen door that led to the deck branching out from the second story of the house. "I'm so glad Bonnie made me a ring," she said, turning to Elena before she pushed the screen door open. "It just makes things so much easier."

Elena nodded. "Don't I know it?" She asked, holding out her hand.

"Why are you wearing one?" Caroline asked. "Did Damon do something?"

"No," Elena shook her head as they stepped outside. "It was Selina's idea actually. She thinks that if I'm a vampire and she's a vampire, then Klaus won't be able to sacrifice either of us. Or at least she did until we discovered another problem that only puts me in real danger from Klaus. Well, I suppose you could say Selina's still in danger from him too, but not because he wants to sacrifice her."

"Yeah," Caroline nodded. "He just took advantage of the fact that she has amnesia and told her that he was her husband. Now, do we know why he did that? Or is it still a mystery?"

"We know," Elena said. "Apparently, Klaus is a vampire-werewolf hybrid, but his wolf side has been repressed. He wants to use an upcoming full moon to activate his wolf side and part of that will require sacrifice of a doppelganger and so on and so forth. But—"

"Wait," Caroline said, holding up her hand. "Did you say that Klaus was a werewolf-vampire hybrid? Selina's like that too."

"Exactly," Elena nodded. "That's why he wanted to convince her that they were married. If she believes that, then she'll be more likely to want to help him create a vampire-werewolf race. Which leads me to why I came in the first place: Klaus' wizard helper Alistair has decided to throw an 'anniversary party' for Selina and Klaus in a few days. Elijah, Andria and I have been invited, and Elijah and I are allowed to invite two other guests each. I'm bringing Damon and Stefan of course, and Elijah wants to bring Matthew and Amelia."

"Why?" Caroline asked.

"Because," Elena said, "Elijah thinks that will throw Klaus off by helping bring Selina's memory back. I really hope it works. You saw that story on the news about the cheerleaders, right?"

"Yeah," Caroline shivered. "What a horrible way to die."

"Selina did it," Elena said heavily. "I think Klaus is starting to change her for the worse. So that's why we need to get Matthew and Amelia's bodies so we can take them back to the hideout, get them cleaned up, and bring them here so Matthew and Amelia's spirits can reenter them."

"Wow," Caroline said. "That's intense." They finally got onto the deck. "Hi," Elena said as she sat down. She looked at Mrs. Lockwood. "I have a question," she said. "It's going to sound really bizarre, but just hear me out."

"Elena wants to know where you buried Amelia's body," Caroline blurted out.

Mayor Lockwood frowned. "Why in the world would you need to know that?"

"Because Selina lost her memory in a car accident and now the most evil vampire in the history of time wants to marry her so the two of them can create a race of vampire-werewolf hybrids," Caroline told him.

"Are you serious?" Tyler asked after he'd stopped coughing from choking on his drink.

"Yeah," Elena nodded. "I know it's a lot to take in, but there's no way to sugarcoat it."

"So why do you need Amelia's body?" Mrs. Lockwood asked.

Elena looked at Caroline. "You've told them everything else."

Caroline cleared her throat. "They need Amelia's body, and Matthew's too, because this super-evil vampire is having a party in a few days to celebrate his and Selina's 'anniversary.' A few of the vampires who are trying to stop Klaus are invited, and one of them, Elijah, wants to bring Klaus' 'in-laws' to the party as a way to try and get Selina's memory back."

"Wait," Mrs. Lockwood said. "Selina has no idea who she is?"

"Yeah," Tyler nodded. "But it's complicated, so I'd just go with it if I were you and tell Elena where the two of you buried Aunt Amelia."

"We put her in the backyard," Mayor Lockwood said, standing up. Elena and Tyler followed him to the backyard. "Do you want us to dig her up now?"

"Not right now," Elena shook her head. "Or we could, I mean, if that would be easiest."

Mayor Lockwood turned to look at Tyler. "Get the shovels from the tool shed."

"You're believing this pretty easily," Tyler observed.

"Well," Mayor Lockwood said, "after our own family history, I can believe anything."

While Tyler was getting the shovels, Elena called the hideout. "Elijah," she said, "I got the mayor to believe me and now he and Tyler are going to be getting Amelia out so we can bring her back to the hideout." She paused. "Why is it good that I'm managing this by myself?" She sighed and shut her phone. It was just one problem after another.


"…And why is it that I'm not allowed to go to this party?" Andria asked, glaring at her mother with her hands on her hips.

"What kind of responsible parent would I be if I allowed you to be in the company of a man who tried to kill you?" Stella shot back. "You're staying here."

Andria looked at her father. "Talk some sense into her, please."

Her father shook his head. "Your mother's right. You aren't going to the party. Who knows what's going to happen there? It could be something that will end with you getting hurt and we're not going to go through that again."

"No," Stella agreed. "However, since you were issued an invitation and it would be rude to put the table out, I will be going in your place."

"And what if you get hurt?" Andria asked. She looked pointedly at her father. "It's not like nobody's going to miss you."

Stella shook her head. "There's no chance that I'll be hurt because I have absolutely nothing to do with this doppelganger business; you do."

Andria stood up. "I don't care what you say; I'm going to the party."

The sound of someone clearing their throat stopped Stella from replying. The three of them turned around and saw Elijah standing in the doorway, his hand on the frame. "I just got off the phone with Elena," he said. "She told me that Amelia Warren's body is being exhumed right now. Have we made a decision about who will be coming to the party?"

"I will," Stella said. "Undoubtedly, Andria was invited by that witch of Klaus' to be his date. And it happens that he was the same man who made her into a doppelganger producer five-hundred years ago. With that in mind, we've all decided that she won't be going."

"Actually," Andria said, "they decided I'm not going; I haven't agreed to anything yet, but honestly, I don't see the harm. What do you think?"

"I think you should listen to your parents," Elijah said. "You already escaped death once. This time you might not be so lucky."

"Come now," Andria said. "Why would they want me dead?"

"Klaus never needs a reason," Elijah said. "He does as he pleases. If he feels that you're in the way, he will kill you."

"Fine," Andria sighed. "I'll stay home." She turned and stomped off. Stella and her husband looked at one another. "Kids these days," she said.

"They don't have the sense they were born with," he agreed.


A few hours later, Mayor Lockwood, Tyler and Elena had finished digging up Amelia and were holding on to her body, when Tyler asked Elena, "What are we supposed to do with her now?"

"Put her in the backseat of my car," Elena said. "We need to drive her to the hideout so she can be fixed. Then we'll bring her back here so her spirit can re-inhabit her body."

"Where's the hideout again?" Tyler asked.

"It might be better if I bring the body there," Elena said. "You go and tell Amelia and Matthew what we're going to do, all right?"

Tyler sighed and let go of Amelia. He went over to Elena's car and popped the trunk open. "Do you think she's going to fit?" He asked.

It took some maneuvering, but Mayor Lockwood and Elena managed to get the body in the car.

"Now what?" Tyler asked.

"Now, Matthew," Elena said. "Where's he?"

Tyler shrugged. "I don't know; that whole incident is a little hazy."

"All right," Elena said. "I'll go see if anyone else knows." She got in her car and drove Amelia's body back to the hideout.

"Anyone home?" She called. "I got Amelia's body. Could someone help me bring it in?"

"Sure," Andria said. "I will." They headed back outside and Elena popped open the trunk. Andria breathed in sharply. "This is Selina's mother? What the hell happened to her?"

"Katherine tied her up and set her on fire," Elena said. "It happened on Selina's birthday too."

They pulled the body out of the trunk and brought it inside, carrying it to the room where Jonas spent most of his time. "Here's the first body," Elena said as they set it down on the table. "The second one's coming; I just have to figure out where it is."

Jonas got up and eyed the body critically. "This should be a pretty simple operation, actually," he said. He stood over to table and muttered a few words, bringing his hand down. Suddenly, there was a loud boom and the room erupted in smoke. After it had cleared, Andria and Elena eyed the body again.

"Did it work?" Andria asked Elena. "Is that Selina's mother?"

"Yep," Elena nodded. Before them was the body of Amelia Warren. Elena had seen her enough times to be sure of that, although now she looked a little different; younger than she had looked when she was masquerading as the English teacher of Mystic Falls High School. "Did you do something to her?" Elena asked Jonas. "She looks different."

Jonas nodded. "I might have made her a little younger. I read up on her and it said that she was nearly forty when she was turned by her husband, while he was only twenty-two."

"That's true," Elena nodded. "But why would that matter?"

"I just think it would be less suspicious for them to be closer to the same age," Jonas said. "Now, go and find Selina's father's body; the spell doesn't last very long without the soul present."

Elena nodded. "I think I'll need to go to the boardinghouse for that," Elena said.

"Can I come?" Andria asked. "I really need to get away from my parents."


They arrived at the boardinghouse an hour later, causing Stefan to do a double take when he opened the front door and saw Andria standing on the other side. "Why are you here?" He asked her as he let them in.

Andria shrugged. "I needed to get away from my parents; I got invited to the 'anniversary party' presumably to be Alistair's date, but my parents won't let me go because of our past history. Do you think I'm being childish?"

"Well," Stefan asked, "What does it matter if you're going to sneak out and come anyway?"

Andria shrugged. "I don't know. I'm just curious."

"Is Damon home?" Elena asked. "I have a question for him. Or you might know: What happened to Selina's father's body after Tyler staked him?"

"We brought it back from the tomb and buried it here," Stefan said. "But don't ever tell Selina that."

"I won't," Elena said. "Could you help us dig it up?"

Stefan frowned. "Why would you want to dig it up?"

"Because Elijah wants Amelia and Matthew to come to the anniversary party so that Klaus can get to know his 'in-laws'" Elena explained. "And he thinks that having her parents around might help bring Selina's memory back."

Stefan sighed and led Elena and Andria to an out-of-the-way corner of the yard behind the boardinghouse. "He's under here," he said. "I'll go get the shovels."


Another two hours later and Andria and Elena were back on the road to the hideout. This time, Stefan was with them. "Why are you here again?" Andria asked him.

"I'm just curious to see how this is going to work out," Stefan said. "Is there something wrong with that?"

Andria shook her head.

When they reached the house, they parked in the driveway and got the body out of the trunk. Andria and Stefan carried it to the front door while Elena went ahead of them and knocked, starting a little when Elijah answered the door. "Did you get Selina's father's body?" He asked.

Elena nodded. "We did. Can we bring it in?"

"Of course," Elijah nodded, stepping back to let them in. "And hurry."

As quickly as they could, they brought the body inside and brought it to Jonas. "Just in time," he said, doing the same trick to Matthew's body that he'd done to Amelia's. "The Lockwood mansion, where their spirits are, is across town," Elena said. "Will there be time to get them there?"

"Yes," Jonas said. "You have time." They picked up Matthew and Amelia's body and put them back in the trunk of the car, driving to the Lockwood mansion. When they arrived, Tyler met them at the door.

"I told Aunt Amelia and Uncle Matthew what was going on," he said. "And they're waiting for you."

"Thanks," Elena said. Tyler followed her out to her car. They grabbed Matthew, who was on top in the trunk, and Stefan and Andria grabbed Amelia. They carried the bodies inside the house and into the study near the kitchen where Amelia and Matthew were waiting for them.

"Let me guess," Matthew said as he watched them come in, "this is part of that big overarching problem Selina and Damon told us about."

"Kind of," Elena said, putting his body down. "And it's kind of got something to do with a whole other can of worms."

"Tyler said Selina was in an accident," Amelia said. "That she had no memory. Is that true?"

"Yes," Elena nodded. "Unless she secretly was born five hundred years ago and her name is actually Solana Salazar de Pena."

"No," Amelia frowned and shook her head. "Where would she come up with an idea like that?"

"Well," Elena said, "You two get into your bodies and I will elaborate." They nodded went to stand over their prone forms. A second later, they disappeared and their bodies began to move. Their eyes opened, they gasped.

"Are you all right?" Elena asked. "Do you need any help sitting up?"

Amelia gave Elena her hand and Elena pulled her up. Matthew, however, was able to get up on his own. He pushed his brown hair out of his eyes and sat up. "This is so weird," he said. "It's been awhile since I've actually had a body."

Amelia shook out her arms and twisted her torso. "It's nice to have one that's not charred, that's for sure." She looked at Elena. "Now what happens?"

"Now I think you come with us," Elena said.

Matthew and Amelia followed Elena, Stefan, Tyler and Andria out of the study and to the front door, but just as they were about to leave, they heard a gasp. They turned and saw Mrs. Lockwood gaping. "You weren't kidding about bringing them back, were you?" She breathed.

"No," Elena said. "I wasn't. Are you going to be all right?"

"Yes," Mrs. Lockwood nodded. "Just as soon as I have a drink I'll be all right." She stared at them for a few more seconds and then headed in the direction of the kitchen.


Once they were out the door, they went and settled themselves into Elena's car. "So," Amelia said once they'd started moving again, "what's going on with Selina?"

"Well," Elena said, "Damon and Selina have told you about the ritual that requires the sacrifice of her or me by the oldest vampire in the history of ever-or at least one of them anyway, to end the vampire curse, right?"

"Yes," Amelia nodded. "What about it?"

"Well," Elena continued, "It turns out that this original vampire-his name is Klaus-is actually a vampire-werewolf hybrid. Prior to his family's transformation into vampires, his mother had an affair with a man from a werewolf bloodline which produced Klaus. And he's discovered that Selina is the same way and wants to marry her so the two of them can breed an entire race of werewolf-vampire hybrids and take over the world."

"Well," Amelia shifted in her seat. "The way you're talking, you're making it seem like that hybrid is rare."

"Well isn't it?" Elena asked. "How many do you know?"

"Three off the top of my head if I include myself," Amelia said. "Just look at our family tree and you'll see that hybrids aren't as rare as these Originals would like you to believe."

"What?" Elena asked.

"Well think about it," Amelia said. "Why do you have to lock Selina in her room every time there's a full moon? Or at least try to anyway. I realize the last couple of times haven't been that successful. And how do you think she got that way? Yes, I accept full responsibility for her fun little quirks."

"You're right," Elena said, her voice rising in pitch. "Oh, my God, you're right! You're a vampire with a werewolf bloodline too! I totally forgot. Who else is there?"

Amelia bit her lip before speaking. "Michael," she said at last. "You know, he might actually be a big help in this situation. Selina believes she's married to someone who's evil, immoral and intent on using her. Who better to nip that in the bud than him?"

"Right again," Elena said. "I don't know if Michael will want to help us though, considering what happened the last time he was earthbound."

"Trust me, Elena," Amelia said. "If I know my nephew, and I do, and something comes up that deals with protecting Selina from harm, he'll be all over it."

"Not to mention your brother Jacob, Mason, and Tyler. Even if they're just garden-variety werewolves, they can be of some use, right?" Matthew asked.

"Correct," Amelia said. Matthew leaned back in his seat, looking a little shell-shocked. "I can't believe it took me all this time to figure out your family secret. You seem so normal."

"Oh, please." Amelia said, laughing. "It's not like the Warrens are a bunch of Nancy Normals either. Isn't that right, Andria?" She asked, leaning forward.

Andria turned around to grin at Matthew. "I'm afraid your wife is correct," she said. "Thanks to Katerina Petrova, you've got quite a few vampires in your lineage, don't you?"

"But that's not genetic," Matthew said. "That was just bad luck."

"Touche," Andria said. "But it's still an interesting coincidence that Selina's got werewolves on one side of her family and vampires on the other."

Elena was grinning. "We should tell Elijah about this," she told Andria. "I can't wait to see what he says."


They arrived back at the hideout and Elena, Tyler, Stefan and Andria immediately brought Matthew and Amelia to the library. "So," Elijah said when he saw them, "you brought them, I see. Did everything go well?"

Elena nodded. "I think so. Listen, I have some good news."

"Oh, really?" Elijah asked. "What is it?"

"Well," Elena said, motioning for him to sit down, "you know how your brother is a vampire-werewolf hybrid? And Selina is too?"

"Yes….?" Elijah said. "What about it?"

"Well, so is Selina's mother. And her cousin Michael."

Elijah's eyes widened in a rare slip of control, and he looked at Amelia, stunned. "Are you really?" He asked.

"Yes," Amelia nodded. "I was born a Lockwood, so I'm full of werewolf blood, and later in my life, my husband turned me, so I guess that would make me both."

Elijah turned back to Elena. "And what about this Michael you mentioned? Are we going to have to do some more digging?"

"Yeah," Elena nodded. "That is, if you want him to help us fight off Klaus."

"Which you do," Amelia told him. "Because he's very protective of Selina and will basically die to keep any sort of harm from coming to her."

Elijah's eyebrow rose. "Is that so?"

Elena and Andria looked at one another. "Back to the cemetery?" Elena asked tiredly.

"Yes," Elijah nodded. Back to the cemetery." He looked at Amelia. "And where is the soul of this Michael?"

Amelia shrugged. "I have no idea. He could be back at the house."

"He is," Tyler nodded. "I found him in Selina's old room yesterday clutching one of her pillows."

"Poor guy," Matthew said. "He really did have it bad."

"Yeah," Tyler said. "It's a real shame he never dealt with it properly. But maybe if he agrees to get involved, he'll finally get the attention from her that he wants."

"Are you two going to ask him to help us?" Elena asked.

"Of course," Amelia said.

"But it can wait a couple of days," Elijah said. "First, we have to get you ready for a party."
