MYSTIC FALLS,

PRESENT

When the night of Klaus party came around Luna was completely ready to end all of her problems. After tonight she would be free from Mikael's compulsion and she would have the option to tell them all the truth. She just had to hope that this night would go as planned.

Half way through the night Luna spotted Grace across the room and her brunette friend nodded in confirmation that everything was in place. Luna nodded in return and prepared to do her part.

The blonde vampire walked straight over to Klaus who was standing alone watching the party progress.

"Luna," Klaus said as the blonde approached him and came to a stop in front of him. "I didn't expect you to be here tonight."

Luna smiled in return as she took a sip of the glass of tequila she was holding. "Well you know me," she said. "I can never resist a good party."

Klaus smiled and nodded remembering how Luna loved to party, even back in the day she enjoyed a good gathering. "I have to ask," Klaus said, hesitating before continuing. "Why did you do it? Why did you betray us?"

Luna frowned at the question knowing that, until Mikael was dead, she was still under compulsion and couldn't tell him why. She glanced around the room and took a deep breath. "I'll tell you," she told him, her voice dropping. "But first, you and Rebekah have a problem that needs to be taken care of."

The blonde glanced down at her phone for a second, reading the text from Grace. Klaus' eyebrows furrowed in confusion. "What do you mean?" he asked.

"Get Rebekah, I'll show you," Luna replied.

Klaus stared at her for a moment, hesitating before calling Rebekah over to him as Luna downed the remainder of her tequila and set the glass down.

"What is it, Nik?" Rebekah asked as soon as she reached her brother. Klaus nodded at Luna and the younger vampire nodded for them to follow her.

The two originals followed Luna through the house and out to the back end of the house, where the rooms were empty since the party was contained in the front of the house. Once they reached the back foyer of the house, Luna pressed her finger to her lips telling them to stay quiet.

She then pointed the two originals to the window that looked out into the garden. Klaus and Rebekah moved to the window and looked out to see Mikael waiting outside. The two siblings shared a look of shock, subtly glancing suspiciously at the blonde that had led them there and hesitantly headed for the back door to confront their father.

Klaus paused at the door for a second before taking a deep breath and opening the door to reveal himself to the monster that had hunted him for a thousand years.

"Niklaus," Mikael sneered, not having expected him just yet.

"Father," Klaus spat in reply as Rebekah made her way to her brother's side. As the two siblings stood before their father Luna nodded at Grace, who had followed them to the back of the house, and Grace sent the text to Elijah, telling him that it was time for them to make an appearance.

From Luna and Grace's position they could see outside the house just as Elijah, Kol and Finn walked up behind Mikael. At that point they knew that there was no turning back.

"Hello father," Elijah said, greeting the man that had made his younger brother into the paranoid hybrid he had become.

"Elijah," Mikael said, looking at his children and silently cursing Luna since he knew that she had something to do with this. "Kol. Finn," he added, looking at his oldest and youngest living sons.

Inside the house Grace and Luna were waiting for their sign to move and seconds later Grace got the text that told them it was time. The two vampires shared a motivating look before they both moved to the back door.

The commotion outside the house was disrupted by the sound of two sets of heels clicking on the decking at the back door.

Mikael looked over and glared at the blonde vampire that had just stepped out of the house. "Luna," he spat, the hatred clear in his voice. "How nice of you to join us."

"Mikael," Luna said, smirking. "Always a pleasure seeing you," she added with distaste in her voice.

Mikael scoffed, "and just what do expect the outcome of this little plan to be?" he asked in disgust.

"Well, you dead," she replied bluntly. "That would be the most preferable outcome."

The older original simple laughed off the idea and smirked at the group that had assembled around him. "You pathetic girl," he spat, laughing still. "Do you really believe that you could beat me? Kill me?"

"Oh no, no, no," she said calmly as the other original watched on trying to figure out what was happening. "I didn't say that I would be the one killing you," she told him, her smirk growing.

"No one can kill me," Mikael roared, boasting with pride.

Grace and Luna simply shared a knowing look as they spotted a figure coming up behind him, all of the siblings having moved to Klaus and Rebekah's side.

"Not even her?" Grace asked as the figure came to a stop behind Mikael.

Mikael spun around to face the figure behind him and stared in shock when he saw who it was. Before he could get a word out he was thrown backwards onto the floor at the feet of Grace and Luna, who had slowly moved forward as he was distracted.

"Hello brother," the once hidden figure said, stepping into the light so everyone could see her.

"Aria," Mikael muttered in shock.

He was quickly back on his feet still staring at his sister in disbelief since no one knew that she was alive.

Whilst he simply stared at Aria in shock, Luna and Grace stepped up behind him and nodded at Aria. Before Mikael could even think of reacting, Luna had pulled the white oak stake from his hands, thrown it to Aria and his sister had shoved it into his chest.

He roared in pain before dropping to the ground and bursting into flames. The originals watched on in shock and disbelief as their father burned in front of them. Their eyes constantly flicker between the burning corpse and the aunt that they had believed to be long dead.

Luna gasped and stumbled back as Mikael's compulsion broke, gaining brief attention from the group of shocked originals. Aria smiled at the blonde and nodded at her and Grace. The two younger vampires immediately nodded in return before speeding off, leaving the Mikaelson family alone at their house.

"Aunt Ria," Rebekah said, being the first one able to break out of her shock. She stared at the woman in disbelief as Aria smiled back at the family.

"Hello Rebekah," Aria said in greeting, only to immediately have the blonde launch herself into her arms.

"I guess I have some explaining to do," Aria said, looking around at her nephews.
