Can we all pretend that I did not just ditch this story after years and came back like nothing happened. But all jokes aside, I definitely let life get the best of me. I started this story after my last year of high school and now I am college graduate almost 2 years out dealing with crippling debt and a boring job. But enough about my tragic life and let's get back into it. These guys have stayed in the back of my mind this whole time and I wanted to take the time this pandemic has given us to let them continue their story. Enjoy and review! Oh and I do not own TVD.

The wheels of the private jet have just left the ground of Mystic Falls.

"I can't believe this" Matt uttered as he saw the life he knew disappear behind the opaque clouds.

"Believe it Matt, you are moving into a new chapter in your life" Klaus retorted has he waited patiently for his private cabin to be ready for the remainder of his flight.

"You just killed Tyler and abducted Elena and I for your own personal agenda, how can you be so evil?" Matt inquired, genuinely curious of the true nature of the devilish, yet gorgeous figure.

Sure Matt had been dealing with vampire drama of varying degree for years, but to be in the middle of something so devious was completely baffling to him.

"It's a gift" Klaus retorts giving him a playful grin not really absorbing Matt's words or picking up on his quite obvious terror and heart-break. "But of course if you be polite and do what you are told, you may see less of the vile, treacherous creature I am."

"Mr. Mikaelson, your cabin is ready" came from the clearly compelled stewardess

gesturing him to come into his room. "And dinner is serve" as she tilted her neck and moved the hair out of his way to consume her.

"Lovely!" Klaus exclaimed has he left Matt and entered his cabin to enjoy the rest of his flight.

Damon stood looking out into the distance. He saw a view of a beautiful ocean. The water were so clean and clear you could see the white sand through it. As he took the scenery in, the smell of fresh ocean water filled his senses. It was something about tropical locations that made Damon feel warm and bubbly all over. He notice that he was standing in sand with no socks or shoes but when he took a glance at his reflection in the water, he noticed he was wearing a dashing suite that complemented his slim figure.

"Wow, Damon, you look… absolutely breath-taking" came from the most beautiful voice he had ever heard. He turned and saw Matt walking towards him in a similar style suit but while his was dark, Matt's was white.

He too was not wearing socks or shoes on the beach, but those thoughts were swiftly pushed aside as Matt came to him and stood before him grabbing both of his hands.

"You ready babe?" Matt asked kind of nervously wearing that innocent half smile on his lips. Damon did not know why he would be and was only privy to the shift in emotion when saw Matt's cheeks turn a bright pink.

"Of course I am" Damon replied with the most certainty and conviction turning his confused face to one filled with utter happiness. Damon did know what he was agreeing to, but he knew he felt right saying it. And saying it to Matt.

"And you look hot as ever" Damon stammered out while looking his man up and down so overwhelmed with emotions. Matt gave a hearty chuckle and goofy grin that could melt all the icebergs in the world.

Another figure stepped out behind from them, but neither Matt or Damon even notice. They were completely enthralled with each other. With love filled in their eyes and passion being in every interlocked finger.

"Now let's begin. We are gathered here today to join Matthew Donovan and Damon Salvatore in holy mat-"

"Oh how cute" Kol chuckled to Elijah has the ravished vampire was starting to come through.

As Damon started to stir on the ground. He realize what has happened to his mind.

Again.

"You really love this man don't you mate. That just makes what happened to him even more of a treat."

Damon realized that both Jeremy and Stefan were still both unconscious and Matt was nowhere to be found. Not even his scent. He was beyond furry at this point. He has reached another level.

"Please. Kol. Jus- just tell me where he is and I promise to leave you alone forever." Damon said meekly through shallow breathes which sent painful stabs to his chess on every syllable.

"Not that simple mate." Kol retorted giggling with his brother not to impressed by the once overly- confident vampire.

"I- I'll leave town, take Matt with me. You will never hear from us again. Just. Please. Give. Him Back."

Damon's wounds were slowly starting to recover but was slowed significantly due to not having that much blood in his system. But he managed to make it on his knees, literally begging his captures for the man he loved.

"Shut up man! You sound pathetic." Kol groined has the whimpering mess and vamp speed behind him snap his neck. Making him black out.

"Oh how the mighty have fallen" Elijah said has his tisked his lips and shook his head in disappointment.

"Damn shame brother. Let's lock them in here for a while so they can gather themselves."

"Please Matt you have to eat" Elena plead to her friend. Holding a basket of French fries and a can of coke. But he didn't move an inch.

He has been staring out of the airplane window for hours with such a look of pain and desperation painted all over his face. Elena didn't know what to do, but she knows it would better to make a plan with two heads rather than one.

Out of nowhere, really bad turbulence rocked the plane and shook Elena off her feet and right into Matt's arms. The shock of the plane and Elena body on top of him pulled him out of his numbness and into reality.

"Jesus Elena, are you ok?" Matt asked helping her to adjust in the seat next to him and picking up the items that she brought with her.

"Yes, me and the fries are good." Elena uttered after showing Matt the basket of fries again. Matt gave her a grateful smile and took a fry to make her feel better.

"So how long have we been on this plane?" Matt asked completely dreading the answer he sure no amount of time small or large will make him feel better.

"A little over 12 hours" Elena stated.

Matt gestured for her to have some fries and she did with enthusiasm.

"Isn't this what we had for our first date" Matt asked remembering this detail from a long, long time ago.

"Oh my God yes! I can't believe you remember"

The leaves were falling and autumn had its grip on Mystic Falls. But nothing would stop all the excitement for the school winning the football championships that year. He had just thrown the winning touchdown then went to the Mystic Grill for a celebratory dinner. They were both poor high schoolers so the only thing they could muster up was some change for some fries and some cokes. But it was wonderful and they had a great time.

Just then, Matt looked at Elena through new eyes. He finally understood that they were never meant to be more than friends and finally understood that and he could tell she felt the same way to. They decided to take a nap together and hope that they would be on the ground soon.

"Matt, come here"

Matt heard the familiar voice but was too preoccupied. Instead of seeing his grown, manly hands below him, they were once again replaced with little stubble fingers picking up race cars and smashing them into one other forcefully.

"Matt, son come here"

"Matt pouted and huffed has he ran out of his room into a dark, cold place"

But now he was his adult self, but the fear that was in him had no age limit. He started to shiver as he walked further and further into the room.

"It's so cold" Matt uttered through chattering teeth. He tried to walk but the cold became unbearable and wrapped himself onto a ball to contain as much heat.

"Please Matt, you have to get up"

Just then he saw his memories of Damon getting the crap beated out of him and his father holding back those mysterious figures with some unknown force and soon fire erupted from his fingers. Soon the fire engulfed his whole body and he stood up.

"I am definitely not cold anymore." He exclaimed before chuckling and looking down at his figure. He reached inside of him to the power and brought it to the surface expanding the fire and illuminating his path.

Just then the plane started to decent. And he awaken from his slumber. To see Elena looking out of the window

"Elena what's happe-"

"We're landing Matt" Elena completed his thought, feeling uneasy about where this journey was going to take them.

"Hello guys I hope you had a nice flight, but now we have work to do" Rebekah exclaimed as she emerged from her own private cabin.

She had her hair pinned up a long sleek ponytail dressed in an all-white plain Dior full length slim jumpsuit with Fendi hoop earrings to match. She had on q Louis Vuitton bracelets with the stiletto heel red bottoms to match. She look like a beautiful porcelain painting with all the ferocity of a cheetah. She certainly gave off a "don't fuck with me vibe."

"Great, I am ready to get out of here and stretch my legs" Matt wince has he started to stretched out his muscles.

"Oh no sweetie, you are not leaving, we are picking something up and will off again"

"What do you mean Rebekah?" Elena asked has she got up and fold her arms annoyingly. So sick and tired of these sadistic vampires literally uprooting her life whenever they saw fit.

"What she means sweet doppelgänger is that we will be visiting a very interesting pack of werewolves in the north-eastern region of Sweden and seeing if they will make an interesting pack of hybrids." Klaus stated after he entered the room.

He was decked in a very form fitted crimson colored Hermes zipped-up turtle neck sweater with a pair of black ripped Burberry skinny jeans held together by a very sleek Tom Ford belt. His towering formed stood in a pair of smashing all black Givenchy kicks.

Klaus and Rebekah cackled menacingly to one another while Matt and Elena flinched in uncomfortable desperation.

Klaus moved to grab Elena arm to escort her off the plane. As Matt followed suite, Rebekah vamp sped in front of him.

"No you're staying with me love" Rebekah cooed in his face.

He pulled back with such animosity to see how much distance was between him and Elena.

"No Rebekah, I'm going with them."

Matt started to go pass her, but the last bit of patience Rebekah had evaporate. She twisted his arm which made him gallop in pain and brought him to his knees.

"Look Matty, I have been alive for over 1000 years and I have never met anyone like you. That should give you an indication of how fucked up my love life has been!"

She let go of his arm when she felt like her point had been made and waited for him to gather himself and get on his feet.

"Now, I am sick of waiting for the perfect guy to find me when you will do just fine." She grabbed his chin looked him deep in the eyes and focused her attention.

But as Matt's thoughts of staying by his friend's side was now coupled with the immense pain radiating from his arm, he started to give up hope.

But instead of being wielded by it, he decided to channel in. As he was forced to look into her eyes, he noticed that her pupils were starting to dilate.

But instead of being in a trance, he took notice of her hypnotic speech and how it was beginning to put him a fog but he was able to fight it. To keep full consciousness.

"Look Matt I hate to do this, but I need you to be completely corporative. We are going to have a fabulous day full of pampering, shopping, and fine dining. You are going to realize how great I am I fall madly in love with me. Do you understand?"

"I understand." Matt uttered monotonously.

"Great, get freshened up and we will be on our merry way."

Rebekah blinked her eyes a couple of times, bushed off his shoulders, and stepped away leaving him to get ready. He was planning to just go along with her plan. He knows it would be easier to have her think he is compelled.

She was finally going to have an amazing time with an amazing guy. She was beyond herself giddy with excitement at all the wonderful thing she wanted to buy him.

Matt started to walk towards the back cabin's bathroom as if he was walking on egg shells unsure if he would give away any sign of being fully aware of what was going on.

But before she was fulling out his cabin, she turn back to him.

"Oh, and I'll have new clothes ready for you when you're finished in the shower"

He decided to take a quick shower to really think. He wasn't too sure how he was able to overcome Rebekah, but he's glad he can and without the use of vervain. He thought back to his dream… that really wasn't a dream and remembered the huge ignition he let out of his being. Then back to how he really wanted Kol and Elijah to "Shut up" and they did. How he threw the originals back with only the sheer will of his mind.

He wasn't sure what was going on with him, but he damn sure was no longer ignoring it. He had something inside of him.

Something that was going to help him fight.

"And I thought I was exempt from all the supernatural bullshit that consumed Mystic Falls" Matt thought back to how all of his friends were all creatures of the night and he was just some human quarterback.

He quickly came back to this reality and finished his shower. He did not want to anger Rebekah in any way or risk her trying to compel him again. He was going to play this cool so he can get the hell out of here.

And back to Damon.

He quickly dried off and stepped out of the shower section of the bathroom. He open the door to some of the finest clothing he has ever seen.

So many labels and name brands that he really did not know what to do with himself. There had to be at least $25,000 worth of clothing items in front of him.

All conveniently in his size.

He quickly ignored that fact as to not think of how Rebekah could of found all of the information out and picked the first couple of things he could reach.

Once he was dressed, he looked in the mirror to check out how the plain white V-neck which laid under a dark brown leather bomber jacker, basic blue jeans, and a pair of classic vans.

He looked normal, but the feel and the texture of all of the clothing made him know it was all designer.

He looked himself in the eyes and gave himself a nod and decided on a realistic smile he needed to have plastered over his face for the day.

The whole day.

He open the cabin door to a very excited Rebekah.

"Ah Maty, you look absolutely smashing. And this jacket goes exceptionally well with your beautiful eyes"

Rebekah said as her fingers made their way onto his torso and back. Starting to caress him.

"Absolutely" Matt chuckled and smiled his gorgeous smile which nearly knocked Rebekah off her feet.

"Let's go, let's go! There's so much I want to show you"

She turned from him to lead the way off the plane and he knew he was going to have to keep himself from being sick all day.

Fuck.

Hours upon hours upon hours of fake bring happy, trying on new clothes, and eating was starting to take a toll on Matt.

He honestly did not know how long he was going to be able to keep it up.

He was worried about Elena but knew that Klaus would not put her in harms way. He needs her.

And Matt needs this day to be over.

He barely got any sleep and Rebekah has been moving through this city of Stockholm like the energizer bunny.

"Ah Matty isn't this view lovely"

Rebekah and Matt decided to take a pit stop at The Sergel Fountain. He was happy to have a chance to have a breather after their marathon across town.

She was telling him about all the times she's been to the city over the 1000 years and all the shenanigans she use to get into.

She was so impressed with how well Matt was receiving all of her stories laughing at all the right moments.

For a moment, she actually thought that they were two normal people on a date enjoying a new city.

And Matt knew he needs to do what he needs to do.

"That's insane Rebekah, you were one wild child!" Matt retorted and they both shared a hearty chuckled.

"I really was"

Rebekah was leaning in to kiss him and Matt started to panic. He did not know what to do and her face was inching.

Closer. And. Closer. To. His. Face.

Right when her lips was lingering right next to his, a ringer went off disrupting the mood.

They both sighed as a result. But for severely different reasons.

"Bloody devices, they always interrupt at the worst times"

Rebekah pulled her phone out and glared at the screen, ready to end the person who would dear ruin such a tender moment. But her expression quickly change when she saw who the caller is.

"Excuse me dear, I have to take this."

As she got up to answer her phone and find a little privacy, Matt took the time to fully embrace the scenery. He was actually at the Sergels torg. He literally wrote a paper about this place for his history class.

And Rebekah got them to a good place to. He could believe where he was standing. Talk about a bucket list visit and he wasn't even with the man that he loves. But as soon as Matt delved deeper into his thoughts, Rebekah came back making is brief moment of peace come crashing down.

"Alright Nick we're coming."

Is all Matt could gather from Rebekah's conversation.

"Looks like my brother has found all the answers you have been looking for."

"What are we going to do now huh" Jeremy asked as he paced back and forth in the cellar they have been imprisoned in for the past 2 days.

"We'll think of something and we'll be out of here" Stefan responded sitting in a corner, knees to his chest.

Damon was laying on the floor staring at the ceiling, frustration growing within him which was becoming more aligned with his feelings of dreed and mystery. Some blonde psycho who is super strong and overly obsessed with Matt.

"No! We're not Stefan and you know it. I am stuck in here with two vampires who haven't eaten in days!"

And irritation. Damon's feelings were starting to piss him off.

"Look kid" Damon yelped as he moved from is stilled position.

"We're going to get out of here and find everyone. We are not going to meet our end here. So just calm down before I help myself to some much needed nutrition, ok?" Damon smiled at Jeremy and he quickly calmed down.

Damon has been a statue this whole time and was now starting to act like his go-getter self. He took the chance to quiet down as to allow him to think of a plan.

And not get eaten.

Damon got up and looked out the window, but instead of seeing the sidewalk, he saw the Sergels Fountain.

"Huh" Damon huffed.

Jeremy and Stefan looked at one another to make sure they were not missing something. But they saw nothing. They did not see what Damon was referring to.

"What are you looking at Damon?" Asked Stefan as he started to move from his sitting position.

Then he felt Matt. Felt what he was feeling.

He felt the love of his life yearn for him, his angst, fear, and… disgust. He felt that all Matt wanted to do was jump in his arms and never let go. Everything that Matt was feeling was sent to Damon heart and then he quickly knew what to do.

"Uhh, never mind that, we need to get out of here. Fast."

Rebekah was meeting with Klaus in his private cabin which gave Matt and Elena time to reconnect.

"Wow Matt, you clean up nicely" Elena stated trying hard not to move, but the little movement she did painted a picture of pure agony over her face.

Matt all but tore all of the designer labels off of him. he almost forgotten all the new clothes Rebekah bought for him and suggested that he wear.

"This family is evil Elena. What did they do to you?" He noticed all the bandages on Elena's arms, wrists, and neck.

"If he was going to put you through all this, he could have at least healed you"

"He would've if I did not try to run away at every chance" Elena gave Matt a warm smile in order to down-play her excruciating pain. He noticed her efforts and gave her a smile in order to assure them.

"Enough about me, Klaus brought someone back with us and I am not too sure if it was voluntary"

They both looked at the private room that is being accompanied by Klaus, Rebekah, and some 3rd unknown person.

Klaus called while we were out and ordered us back. Rebekah mentioned something about Klaus having an-

"Aw it's great to see you Mathew Donovan. I hope you enjoyed spending the day with my lovely sister… As I am quite sure you have" Klaus paused again waiting for a response. He knew Rebekah suggested he be more pleasant for the remainder of the trip.

"Of course man. I had a blast!" Matt gave Klaus his winning smile. He chuckled turned from them to the decanter of fine red wine to pour himself a glass.

Elena glanced at him in confusion, but Matt reassured her by rolling his eyes. This made both of them sighed in relief. Elena is happy he's not under any sort of compulsion and Matt because, well the date is finally over.

"Well, I told you that I have answers for you. About what you are." Klaus began, twirling his glass and smelling the aroma.

He took a sip and let out a sigh of pleasure. He had not tasted anything so sweet before. May it be that his plan is working, or that he grabbed a phenomenal bottle of wine. But non the less, he rebel in the taste.

"Ah, before I forget, about 645 years ago, I came across a different type of human in the region between Sweden and Russia who seem to possess these… unusual abilities."

"What do you mean by different type of human? Unusual abilities?"

"Where are my manners, I think I have someone here who could give a better explanation. Liam, would you be a pet and join us in the main cabin… please"

Rebekah push back the partition and outcome this 6'7 tall man came out. He had beautiful blonde locks and eyes as blue and vast as the Atlantic ocean. He was built like an Greek God, even one with poor vision could see every muscle popped out of arms, chest, and legs. He wore worry on his face and one could literally smell the fear coming off of him.

"Matthew meet Liam, I found him visiting family on holiday break from university. And thought he would be able to shine a light on our current head scratcher. Why don't you say hello Matt? "

Matt looked at the figure before him. he was wearing basic clothing, very minimalistic in nature. A camouflage wife beater with some basic khaki shorts and black Nike slides.

"H-hi Liam, nice to meet you" Matt stated before extending a hand to shake. But he was not reciprocating.

He looked up to give a smile to assure him that he was nice but all that was written across Liam's face was pain and agony.

Something that he knows very well.

"Don't be rude Liam, greet your new friend… Unless you want my friends to visit little Eska on your families remote island."

Liam's eyes widen and he complied in defeat.

But when he went to grab Matt's hand, time stopped.

There was no movement, no sound, nothing.

Matt felt his spirit leaving this reality into something. More.

"What the hell?!" Matt asked as he saw himself levitating over his body.

"Relax, I moved our thoughts into an astral plane where time moves in the fraction of the time then in the physical one. That's… like my thing" Liam retorted in order to ease is mind.

"Why-"

"In order to speak. Quickly we do not have much time."
