Rebekah wanted to do for a walk around outside the manor, and I agreed, inviting my twin to come along before rummaging through my closet and throwing a different outfit, doing my hair and fixing my makeup while I was at it. My tattoos aren't visible when I don't use my magic, when I do use my magic they show up, a sign that my power is working the way it's supposed to. It's a Witch thing. I knocked on Kayne's door and he walked out with a smile and we went to meet Rebekah in the garden.

"Your mom is sounding like a horrible person."

"Yeah." I sighed, "She kind of is."

"Our mother has been looking for ways to make us link without us having to consent to the spell." Kayne added, "I swear she's becoming more psychotic by the day."

"Why is it so important for her to Merge the two of you?" Rebekah inquired, "She can't Merge another pair of twins?"

"Nope." I said, "It has to be of the Blackthorn bloodline."

"She's right." Kayne kicked a rock pebble across the yard, and wrapped his arm around me, "The twins must be of Blackthorn Blood or it has no chance of working for her to get a one true Coven Leader."

"He's very correct." I grabbed his hand on the arm he draped over my shoulder, "Blackthorn Blood is extremely powerful. We are the very first Witch Bloodline of the world."

"All magic evolved from us." Kayne smiles, "Vampires, Werewolves, other Witch Bloodlines. It all started with us."

"My mother turned my brothers and I into Vampires." Rebekah sounded confused, "So, how..."

"She didn't have enough power to do it herself." I explained, "Your mother befriended a Witch from our bloodline." I rolled my eyes, "Which is quite impressive considering we do not trust that easily."

"But you trust my family and I." Bekah states, "Right?"

"Eh." I teased, "We're getting there."

She rolled her eyes and laughed, "My brothers have been calling me non-stop."

"What did they want?" I asked.

"I didn't answer," she replies with a shrug, "It's supposed to be girls week. Plus Kayne."

I laughed, "Of course."

"Hey sis." Kayne walked into my room, "I think I found what you were looking for earlier, it was in the cellar where our family kept old grimoires." he tosses me a book, "Why did you want that anyway?"

"Alec." I said, "I need to figure out what the message is."

"What message?"

"Nothing."

"Sis." Kayne whispers, sitting on my comforter, "We don't have secrets, remember?"

I stared at him for a minute before giving in, "I contacted the spirits two days ago." I explained, "I woke up in some soul limbo and Alec was there, he really was. He said it was The Other Side, and the spirits had a message for me." I told him, with a frown, opening the old dust-covered book and flipping to a specific page, "The message was to think of the names our parents gave us. Alec also had a message for me too."

"What was it?" he grabbed my hand, "Sis?"

"Kareena is more dangerous than we thought."

"I'm really liking this place, Kyra." Rebekah said to me as we were walking around the garden in the back of the Blackthorn Manor, "It's so beautiful."

"I know, it was certainly hard to leave." I said, "I did call this home at one point."

We were walking in the garden, and came to a stop when Rebekah heard something, "What was that?"

"I don't know." I replied in a whisper, "I don't have Vampire hearing."

"Use your witch connection."

I did what she said and I could hear very familiar voices,

"I thought you said they were here!"

"I'm not exactly sure how to use this 'find my friend' app."

"You two are being ridiculous. She is your girlfriend, so you should be able to smell her out."

"And if that doesn't work, we have Nik with his wolf nose to sniff out her exact location."

"Crap." I muttered.

"What is it?" Rebekah panicked, "Kyra what is it?"

"Your brothers are here."

Her eyes widened, "How the hell did they find us?"

"My question exactly."

"Do you want to go meet them at the gate?" she asked.

I sighed, "Might as well."

"So an Original Vampire walks up to her brothers and says, 'hey what are you doing here?' and they reply with 'oh I don't know. we just thought we would track you down.' So that goes to question: what are you doing here?"

They jumped at Rebekah's voice, "Bekah?"

"Hello, brothers." she rolled her eyes, "What are you doing here?"

"Have you been here this whole time?" Elijah asked, "And while we're on the subject of wherever 'here' is, where is Kyra?"

"I clearly can't go anywhere without being tracked down." I rolled my eyes and opened the gate behind them, which revealed my location.

"Darling!" Kol yelled, running forward and wrapping his arms around my waist, lifting me off the ground.

"Hi, Kol." I giggled, "Can you put me down?"

He put me back on my feet, "Never do that again."

"What?"

"Disappear without telling me where you're going." he pouted, "We had to have Nik smell you out just to find you."

"Must be a strong sense of smell you have then." I raised my eyebrow, "Anyway," I motioned behind me to the open gate and the gigantic mansion, "Welcome to Blackthorn Manor."

"I think this place is bigger than ours." Klaus said, "Woah."

"That's what I said when I first came in here." Bekah wrapped an arm around my shoulder, "Apparently the Blackthorn's are rich."

I rolled my eyes, "I guess so."

"How do your parents afford all of this?" Kol asked.

I paused, "Magic."

"Magic?" Klaus questioned.

"We get paid to use our magic on people." I explained, "Protection spells. Believe it or not, a lot of people will do anything to be protected and guarded against their greatest enemies."

"That's what she said to me too."

"Does anybody want to meet my family?"

"Kayne!" I yelled through the staircase, "There are some people I want you to meet!"

"What's all the shouting about, sis?" Jonathan questioned with a glance at Kol, Elijah and Klaus, "Who are these people?"

"Let me wait for Kayne." I said, "Can you get Leo and Kayden?"

"Of course." he says, "I'll be back."

"What's up sis?" Kayne asked, jogging down the stairs.

"Oh, great, you're here." I smiled, "This is Klaus, Elijah," I pointed to each, "and Kol Mikaelson."

"This is the boyfriend?" he asked, turning to Kol.

"Kol Mikaelson." Kol introduced himself, sticking his hand out, "You must be Kyra's brother."

"Twin." he took Kol's hand, "I'm Kayne."

"It's very nice to meet you."

"Jonathan, Leo and Kayden." I addressed, "These are the Mikaelson's. This is Elijah, my friend, Klaus: we're close to being friends. I think." I raised an eyebrow at the Hybrid and he kept in a laugh, "And this is Kol, my boyfriend. Boys, this is Jonathan and Leo, my older brothers, and Kayden, my younger brother."

"I understand you have to do the protective brother role," Kol smiled at them, "I'm ready for it."

"I'm not seeing that as necessary." Jonathan states with a smile, "He's very charming, little sis. Where did you get him from? How long have you been together?"

"Mystic Falls." I smiled, "Four months."

"Must be a good place to meet people." Kayden said, "So, you guys are Vampires?"

"The Originals." Elijah stated with a smile at Kayden.

"And I'm a Hybrid." Klaus stated, "The Original Hybrid. My blood is the cure to a Werewolf bite." We all looked at him, "I'm sorry I just really enjoy being a Hybrid. I'm one of the most powerful creatures on earth, it's amazing!"

"Elijah and Kol are not as bad as people say they are." I said, glancing at Klaus who looked offended, "And Klaus, eh, we're still working the path to friendship so we'll see."

"I can see that." Kayne said, "Wow. I didn't think I would like these people, but I was proven as wrong."

"As was I." Jonathan said, "I'm impressed, little sister." he looked at his watch, "Oh, we need to go. I have to take Kayden to his channeling club."

"Channeling Club?"

"Yeah, the younger Witches and Warlock are learning how to channel from each other so that one day, if it comes down to it, they will be able to channel their own families."

"They didn't have that when I was younger, but sounds cool. I had to learn on my own." I laughed, "Anyway, you guys, follow me."
