Dislcaimer: I don't own the vampire diaries

Xxx

Norway 10th century:

Esther is outside the hut she lives in with Mikael and their two young children Finn and Freya she is seven months pregnant with Elijah. MIkael is away on a hunting trip. Esther is is yelling at a retreating woman dragging five year old Freya by the hand away from her family. Freya is screaming mom and trying to get away from the woman. Esther can't do anything she made a deal she has to uphold the deal no matter how painful it is. Four year old Finn is crying into his moms side while the snow whirls around isn't their air.

New Orleans 1914:

Freya heard her family was living in New Orleans she found a coven and one of the witches is dating her brother Kol she heard a witch talking about how Davina should be shunned she is dating a vampire and put a spell on herself so she doesn't age and is living with vampires.

The next day She cornered Monique who was the main person talking about Davina and the Mikaelsons. As Monique is trying to get away from Freya she places her hands on each side of Moniques head and her eyes start to bleed black until she dies. Freya lets her body fall to ground.

As she is coming out of the crypt she runs into Davina who is leaving the cemetery. " Davina I didn't get a chance to introduce myself earlier when I joined the coven I'm Freya Smith. I noticed that a lot of people were talking about you why is that?'

Davina shakes her hand and rolls her eyes she is sick of people talking about her all she did was fall in love and have friends." Don't listen to them. I went against Witch culture and befriended and fell in love with a vampire. I made myself immortal. The biggest crime against me is the vampire I fell in love with is a MIkaelson."

Freya smiles at the seemingly young woman " I think its beautiful who cares who you fall in love with. I also fell in love with a vampire but We are not together anymore their were complications."

Davina can sense that the mood has changed. She places her hand on Freya's arm when Caroline and Rebekah show up, they were going to go to lunch then shopping after Davina's coven meeting/class. Davina looks up at Freya and smiles " Do you want to join us? We are going to go to lunch then do a little shopping."

Freya smiles at Davina's kindness and nods.

Xxx

After shopping they brought Freya back to the compound are in the living room going through what they bought when Klaus comes in gives Caroline a peck on the cheek and notices Freya. " Who is that? How many times have we told you not to bring strangers home. You got lucky with Davina but one of these times you'll bring home an enemy."

Rebekah rolls her eyes Davina doesn't even pay attention to him and Caroline gets up and grabs him by the shirt and pulls him into the hall and quietly says. " Seriously, Her name is Freya Smith. She is new to Davina's coven and is not an enemy."

"How do you know she is not an enemy."

" If she were an enemy we would have aneurysms and be in pain but we are not. She told us at lunch she defended Davina when the coven was making comments about Davina being apart of our family. Freya is a witch who doesn't hate us."

Klaus looks back into the room and at the scene in front of him Rebekah, Davina and Freya on the floor surrounded by bags and clothes talking and laughing. As he is entering the room again he asks " You defended Davina and you don't hate us?"

Freya making eye contact with Klaus for the first time answers " Yes I did it's awful how they treat her and I don't hate you I want to be a friend to this family."

Rebekah is surprised that Freya wants to be their friend too. She would love for Freya to be their friend but everyone is scared of them its hard to make friends." Your are not scared of us? Certainly you've heard the stories."

" I'm not scared. Yes I've heard the stories but to me I could tell you were scared and maybe still am running from something I understand running from something that wants you. So your running from something understands your violent outbursts."

Caroline, Rebekah and Klaus all share a look saying wow I didn't expect that and who is this girl.

Xxx

A couple months later:

The MIkaelsons are throwing their annual Christmas party the compound is full of people, vampires, witches, werewolves, humans. All night Freya kept glancing at the clock. When it is an hour and half before midnight Freya gathers the Mikaelsons in the upstairs living room " I haven't been completely honest about who I am."

Everyone looks around confused, over he last couple of months everyone has formed a friendship and trust with Freya. Klaus is the first one to speak . " I knew it, Caroline, Rebekah and Davina you invited an enemy into the house."

The three ladies in question begin to argue with Klaus when Freya begins to speak again. " I'm not an enemy, my name is not Freya Smith but Freya Mikaelson I'm your sister. I'm Mikael and Esther's first born child."

The Mikaelson's look at each other nobody remembers Esther or Mikael mentioning Freya. Elijah's eyes widen remembering something. " Esther mentioned once you liked to sing to me when she was pregnant with me."

Freya smiles at her suit clad brother " I loved feeling you kick in Esther's womb. I loved the prospect of having brothers and sisters. Esther took that chance away from me and even in death she is taking that chance away from me. I am cursed to be awake for one year and sleep a hundred. My year is over in an hour and a half.

Xxx

Every time Freya is awake she searches for her siblings. She would ask everyone she saw if they knew the Mikaelsons. Nobody would give her a straight answer everyone was scared they would die by the Mikaelsons hands if they said anything. Freya had to get creative with her asking. She came up with a lie to tell people to get answers:The Mikaelsons killed my sister I need to find them.

It took nine hundred and fourteen years to find her siblings.

Xxx

Present:

Caroline in a silk thigh length spaghetti strapped pink teddy getting in bed with Klaus who just has a pair of sweats on. " I'm excited Freya reawakens tomorrow."

Klaus still is in shock of what happened that evening with Esther coming back and saying she forgave him and she wants them to be a family, doesn't answer. Caroline goes over to his side of the bed and starts massaging his shoulders. " Esther coming back has thrown us all of a loop and Finn being here too but we have to look on the bright side tomorrow will be the first time ever that all Mikaelson child will be alive and in the same house."

Klaus squeezes his wife's hand on his shoulder " Except Henrik."

Caroline kisses his cheek. " Henrik is probably watching over when he found peace."

Klaus nods and gets in bed Caroline goes back to her side " Did you put Freya's coffin in her room?"

" I moved her out of the coffin and onto the bed."

Xxx

Elijah is in his room with Katherine " Katerina I have to tell you something."

Katherine was getting dressed for bed in one of Elijah's dress shirts looks back at him. Elijah is sitting on their king size bed in a pair of pajama pants shirtless. " You know the history of my family more than any other vampire but there is one family member that is left out of the story my older sister Freya, when my mother was pregnant with me my older sister was taken by my aunt Dahlia we moved here we all thought Freya had died that's what Esther told us but in 1914 we found out Freya was alive and had been looking for us for the last nine hundred years."

" So if Freya was looking for you the last nine hundred years where is she?"

"When my aunt took her it was for power so when Freya was old enough Dahlia put a spell on both of them that they would sleep for a hundred years and be awake for one year and in return they can't die Freya is in a coffin the reason I'm telling you this is because tomorrow she wakes up"

Katherine taking in the news of a new mikaelson sibling and only has one question. " Does Freya know about me?"

Elijah shakes his head no. Katherine smiles " One sibling that won't hate me."

Elijah laughs and gets into bed with Katherine.

Xxx

Rebekah is in her room getting ready with her boyfriend Stefan. " I can't believe this is happening my mother coming back Finn returning and tomorrow Freya wakes up"

Stefan is sitting on his and Rebekah's bed in a pair of sweatpants he's met or at least heard of all Mikaelsons but has never heard of Freya. " Who is Freya?"

Rebekah is sitting at her vanity brushing her hair looks at him through her mirror. " My older sister."

At Stefan confused look and surprise that not only is there another mikaelson but another mikaelson sister. Rebekah turns away from the vanity to face him explains what happened to Freya.

Xxx

" I'm excited for Freya's return I missed my friend."

Kol kisses Davina's temple " I remember you two would lock each other in a room and do magic all day."

Davina nudges his bare side " We let you join us and you know she was the only one who accepted me as girlfriend of Kol Mikaelson, living with the originals, having the originals spell on me and that was before we knew she was a Mikaelson."

Xxx

All the originals are asleep when they are rudely interrupted by an blaring beeping echoing throughout the mansion. " What is that terrible noise?"

Everyone except Esther leave their bedrooms and walk out to the top of the stairs except Finn he just pokes his head of his door." Of course I should of known. Can you three really be this stupid trying to break in to this home."

" What is this, what is happening to us?"

Elena, Damon and Bonnie are trapped in the doorway of the mansion. " At least we know it works. Nobody has ever tried to break in, I didn't know if the spell worked." Davina looks down at the intruders " It's a blood security spell." It won't let anyone in if they don't have Mikaelson or Davina's blood.

Rebekah who has an arm on Stefan's shoulder who has an arm around her waist looks down at them " Elena you tried to break into our home because your ex boyfriend has found love. That's extreme your coming off as desperate I think it's time you give it a rest Stefan has moved on he loves someone else. If you keep this up we will have to kill you."

Elena glares at Rebekah.

Xxx

After Elena Bonnie and Damon leave disgruntled with not getting their way with the Mikaelsons. As the everyone is returning to their bedrooms Klaus sees his wife heading downstairs towards the front door. " My love where are going?"

Caroline turns back to her husband who at still at the top of the stairs looking over the banister while she has the door open. " I'm annoyed and hungry I'm going to kill someone."

" Have fun do you want me to wait up for you?"

" You don't have to I'll try not to wake you when I return."

Xxx

An hour later Caroline is walking up their driveway wiping the blood off her lips when she spots Damon laying in their yard. "What are you doing here? I don't have the patience for another ' I want my brother back' speech. We have bigger issues then you, Elena and Bonnie's need to annoy my family."

Damon stands up and looks at the blonde original who didn't change when she went to go hunt a human so she still has her pajamas: a pink silk mid thigh teddy a long sleeved mid thigh baby blue floral kimono they got many centuries ago in Japan. She also has matching baby blue heels with fur across the toes.

"Your family has issues I thought the only issue you had was getting the werewolf curse lifted."

Caroline rolls her eyes she doesn't find this town they've decided to settle in exciting. It seems like only Klaus and Rebekah wants to stay in this town. " I don't have time for this, I'm going inside, get off our property or we'll extend the barrier."

As Caroline is a few feet from the door she hears. "Wait."

She turns around and Damon is behind her. "Make it good or I'm going inside and forgetting this conversation."

Damon looks down at this feet and takes a breath this is hard for him to say since he does care about his brother. " I'm done fighting you for my brother back. Every time I try to get him back or see him he has a smile on his face and he looks at peace. I've never seen him so happy Rebekah makes him happy."

Caroline never expected Damon of all people to come to them and say he's backing off. "Wow and what may I ask brought on this epiphany?"

"A lot of things but mainly being trapped in your doorway and seeing my brother half still half asleep at the top of your staircase with his arm around Rebekah. All of you were in the same state as Stefan but only Rebekah and him were holding on to each other. Whenever I've seen them they are always touching each other."

" Stefan was the one who begged Rebekah to ask Klaus for blood to save you. We never compelled him to be loyal to us. He chose that on his own we actually lifted the compulsion he was under."

Damon always thought it was compulsion keeping his brother with the Mikaelsons but it's not Stefan is doing all this with free will.

Xxx

Davina rolls over in bed she puts her arm out in her sleep to place her arm on Kol but instead of touching Kol's naked chest she feels their blue Jersey sheets. She opens her eyes and sees Kol's silhouette looking out the window. She knows he's thinking about something. She comes up behind him and kissed his shoulder before placing her chin on his shoulder and her arms around his waist he smiles and placed his hands over hers.

" What has you up so early?"

"Deciding whether or not to wake Caroline up and tell her about a theory I have or tell her in the morning."

"Does this have anything to do with why you got all freaked out when Carol Lockwood introduced us to Liz Forbes." You can't be with someone for almost two hundred years and not know everything about that person and all reactions. When Carol Lockwood said Liz Forbes Kol froze for a second and gulped freaking out. Since Davina was the only one in the room who knew Kol she could tell he was freaked by the introduction but Carol and Liz couldn't tell.

Kol turns his head and looks Davina in the eyes. He nods. "I could never keep a secret from Caroline."

Xxx

Later that morning they all go into Freya's room ready for her to wake up Davina looks at Kol and tells him to get some fruit for Freya when she wakes up.

As Kol is closing the fridge with a bowl of fruit Esther comes into the room " Kol where are your siblings I want to have a family meeting."

Kol was as shocked as the rest of his siblings when his mother walked in to the dinning room last night. " Uh they are asleep."

Esther looks at the bowl of fruit in Kol's hand. Kol notices her looking at the fruit then up at him. "They are for Davina she likes to start the day off healthy."

" You really care for the witch."

Kol wants to leave he feels uncomfortable not only has he never had a conversation like this with Esther he's doesn't want to talk with her and especially not about Davina. " Mother you just returned after being dead for a thousand years I don't feel like discussing my love life with you."

Esther goes over to Kol and puts her hand on his cheek. " My youngest son I wondered if you would ever find someone to love."

Kol feels even more uncomfortable " Right so I'm going to go Davina's up."

Kol returned to Freya's room and Davina looks over at him she knows he's still coping from last night but this is new. " What took so long?"

Kol puts the bowl on the dresser " Esther she wants a family meeting with all of us."

They all look at each other with confused looks on their faces when Freya gasps awake " Where are we?"

Caroline and Rebekah help her sit up while Elijah explains that they are in Mystic Falls. Freya is in a green 1914 Christmas dress. " Freya I can show you all you missed?"

Freya sees the fruit and bites into the apple and nods Caroline gets ready to let Freya into her mind. " Remember you have to clear your mind."

Caroline puts her hand on the side of Freya's head and Freya sees everything that has happened since 1914:Mikael finding them in New Orleans and burning the opera house down, running to Chicago Mikael finding them there too. Caroline and Klaus fighting Caroline leaving with Kol their vacation, Rebekah and Finn being undaggered, Finn leaving, the acting classes the girls took, their life in California. Coming here and unleashing Klaus werewolf side and creating more hybrids. Klaus killing Mikael, Damon taking her coffin and another coffin and last night when Esther and Finn returned.

Caroline removes her hand and Freya takes in all the information "How is Esther alive in 1914 you told me she was dead."

" She was dead I killed her myself just like I will kill her this time."

Kol steps forward " How are we going to explain Freya?"

Freya has missed her family so much but she hates Esther. " I refuse to see that woman I will kill her she didn't even try to get me back or save me after Dahlia took me. "

Katherine is next to Elijah " There's no mistaking you for a Mikaelson you have a taste for killing parents too."

" Esther and Finn don't know that Freya is here or even alive so let's use that to our advantage Freya could hide behind us when we go down."

Freya gets off the bed and looks at her sister in law, she hates that she couldn't be at her own brothers wedding when she met her family in 1914 they showed her their entire lives including the wedding. Rebekah looks over at Kol " When we lived in New Orleans Davina and her cousin Mary Alice made all those dark objects there was one that if worn by a witch they couldn't do magic couldn't we just put those on mother."

" When Mikael found us and we ran we forgot all the dark objects but if mother is planning on staying maybe a trip down to the quarter to get some dark objects is a good ideas." He turns to Davina " What do you say darling weekend trip to your hometown."

Davina smiles up at him " Let's do it also while we're there I could get some of the grimoires I forgot."

Xxx

Before they go downstairs Freya wants to change out of her 1914 clothes. Rebekah takes her to her room brings her into her four story closet. Caroline and her are the only ones with four floors, Davina and Katherine only have three since they haven't been around as long as Caroline and Rebekah they don't have as many of decades of clothes.

"The day of the sacrifice Caroline, Davina and I went shopping and made Kol carry all our bags, While we were shopping I saw the perfect outfit for you now if I could only find it."

Freya is looking around the closet like Caroline's the first floor is purses, accessories, perfume. The second floor is all shoes floor to ceiling selves of shoes ranging from heels, boots, wedges , from all different centuries. Floor three is this century's clothing while floor four is different centuries clothing. There is a spiral staircase connecting each floor, each floor has many mirrors and a sitting area. There is a dangly chandelier hanging from the ceiling down to the top of the second floor.

Rebekah leans over the bannister of the third floor " I can't find it. "

They find Caroline and Klaus in his studio her head is laying across his lap while he's sketching probably her. " Nik your stupid hybrids lost Freya's I just woke up outfit. We made the move extremely easy for them by labeling everything plus we even guided them."

"Are you sure you didn't place Freya's outfit in a different box."

Rebekah scoffs and follows Caroline to her and Klaus' room. Caroline like Rebekah goes through her clothes and can not find Freya's outfit, "Nik your hybrids are useless seriously what have they done to help us. Plus they are under the assumption that they don't work for the family but just for you."

Elijah comes into the studio carrying an outfit " This is not mine nor is it Katerina."

Rebekah grabs the outfit and hands it to Freya.

Xxx

They walk into the living room with Freya behind them Esther and Finn are talking to each other. " Aww children I want to throw a ball to introduce us to the community."

" Mother we've already been introduced to the town."

" Finn and I haven't been introduced and they don't you as the Mikaelson family they only know you as the originals."

Klaus looks back at Freya who nods she's ready for this she's been waiting a thousand years. " We are the originals and mother you forgot to mention a Mikaelson child."

Esther looks confused " All my children are here Finn, Elijah, you, Rebekah and Kol."

The originals split and reveal Freya in black skinny jeans, black lace at the top tank top and a blue leather jacket with blue heels." What about me am I not a Mikaelson anymore?"

Esther puts her hand over her mouth she never thought she would see her first born child again." Freya how are you alive?"

Esther goes to step closer to Freya who backs up. " Do not come near me you let Dahlia take me I was five she was the Devil all I wanted was more brothers and a sister and instead I was sold as a slave. Did you even try to rescue me or did you forget about me? I used to tell myself every night before I went to bed that my mother was coming for me and every morning when I woke up I was still with Dahlia. Because of you I never knew my brothers or sister I missed my own brothers wedding. I never even met my youngest brother."

Esther doesn't know what to say she had to give Dahlia Freya it was the deal but she did mourn Freya." Freya I'm so-"

" -NO don't say your sorry if your were sorry you would of saved me but you didn't, I was all alone I only had Dahlia. When I finally met my siblings and they showed me their past and I saw Klaus kill you I was sad only because I wasn't the one who killed you. You are not my mother a mother would of never sold her child."

Finn has just been speechless this whole time, he never imagined he would see Freya again. " Freya."

Freya hugs Finn and they both squeeze each other. " Finn my brother."

Xxx

Rebekah, Caroline and Katherine are getting their nails painted, Freya is looking at the ball dresses, Davina and Kol are looking in the mirror, Elijah is shining his dress shoes, Finn and Stefan are getting their dress pants altered when Kol speaks. " Freya how handsome do I look in this?"

Freya turns around to look at her little brother when Rebekah rolls her eyes. " Freya don't make his ego any bigger and ask Davina she's standing right next to you."

" I always ask Davina I love her but I thought I would ask our newly awakened sister this time."

" So it has nothing to due with the fact that because Freya is newly awakened she doesn't know how big your ego is."

Kol smirks at Caroline while turning to Davina " Your very handsome."

Kol grabs her by the waist and brings her back to his chest and kisses her neck Davina giggles.

" What is going on here?"

Caroline looks over at her husband storming into the room. " We're getting ready for Esther's ball I laid your suit on the bed."

"She's been back one night and we are just going along with her plans I will not being going."

Caroline lays her one of her freshly painted nails over his on the hand on the arm of the couch. " It's easier to go along with her." She winks at him.

Finn looks over at the married couple and comments. " I see somethings never change no matter what decade your in. Mother said attendance is mandatory. You should listen Niklaus she could curse you again. We all know how long it took you to break the last curse."

In a second Klaus has Finn pinned to the wall by the throat his eyes yellow and his fangs out. Caroline and Rebekah are trying to break them apart. They finally get Klaus off Finn, Freya is making sure Finn is ok when Klaus retorts. "This is our house you've been off with Sage, you and mother are unwanted guests. You should be happy, we've treated you better then Mikael."

Esther stands in the door way next to the mirror and sees all her children and daughter in law yelling at each other. " Enough, Freya Elijah come with me."

"Elijah you will have to hold me back I will attack her."

Elijah nods while putting his hand out for his sister to hold to give her support. " Lets get this over sister."

Freya smiles at him while placing her hand in his. When any of her siblings or Caroline call her sister she smiles she's waited so long to be apart of this family.

Xxx

After Kol picked out his suit he plopped down next to Caroline who was waiting for the last coat of paint to dry on her nails. " I have a secret to tell you."

"Do tell."

" I found a relative of yours. Last night when Davina and I went to that fundraiser the mayor one of Nik's annoying hybrids mother introduced us to the sheriff Liz Forbes."

Caroline's eyes widen she has not heard the name Forbes in a thousand years. Forbes was her maiden name, she was an only child and her and Klaus didn't have any children. " How is this possible I thought the Forbes name died when I married Nik."

Kol shrugs. "Want to to find out?"

"We'll leave after my nails dry."

Xxx

"As the oldest children it is your responsibility to keep your siblings in check especially tonight at the ball. I don't want anything to ruin my hard work."

"Mother Finn is older then me why didn't you call him in?"

Esther was looking at the guest before she heard her children fighting. So when she returned with Freya and Elijah she went back to checking the list. " Finn is already doing something for me. Now I need to have a chat with Niklaus and Caroline."

Freya and Elijah return to the living room but Klaus, Caroline or even Kol are nowhere to be found.

Xxx

Rebekah enters her room to put her dress for tonight on the bed when she finds Stefan laying on said bed. " Full on Mikaelson drama to much for you?"

Stefan turns towards her and watches as she lays next to him. " Your mother is intense and Finn is kinda creepy."

"Yeah but trust me Esther is not going to be around much longer and Finn will go back to Sage and everything will go back to normal. This happens sometimes the whole Mikaelson family gathers this is the first time Esther has appeared. The last time we saw Finn was the sixties."

"Normal I don't think normal is the right word for our lives."

Rebekah laughs and leaves a kiss on his cheek as she goes to hang her dress up.

Xxx

Klaus sees Caroline and Kol trying to sneak out of the house. " Annoyed and hungry again?"

Caroline turns around looking guilty for getting caught they thought they could sneak out and with everything going on nobody would notice. " Kol thinks he found a relative of mine and I want to invite her to the ball tonight."

Klaus walks towards them wanting to go with them but Caroline puts a hand on his chest. "I need to do this alone."

He nods a little hurt and leaves a kiss on her lips. "Love you. Good luck."

"Love you too."

Xxx

" Nik could of came why didn't you invite him."

" You said Liz was the sheriff, Elena has not only Damon and formally Stefan thankfully we broke his tie but this town wrapped around her finger. Liz could have Nik arrested for Elena's murder and Nik being Nik would kill everyone including Liz. As it is now we've killed residents of this town and now are going to a police station."

They stop outside the station and as Caroline is preparing herself to come face to face with a member of a family she thought was long dead, kol entwines their fingers. "Your the strongest of all of us."

She smiles over at him and pecks him on the cheek.

Xxx

"Is sheriff Forbes here? I need to see her."

One of the rookies at the front desk looks up at the two of them. "Yes Is there a reason you've come to see her?"

Kol leans over and whispers in Caroline's ear. " This is getting tedious either kill him or compel him. We still have Esther to deal with.

"I know this is what I get for trying things the human way."

Caroline leans forward and compels him "Where is sheriff Liz Forbes office."

The rookie points to the back of the station and down the hall. Caroline knocks on the door when Liz answers on the other side. "Come in."

Both vampires enter and Liz looks up at them she remembers Kol from last night but he has a different woman with him today. "Can I help you?"

Caroline looks over at Kol and says quietly so only he can hear. "I don't know how to begin."

"Try the human way."

She glares at him of course he throws her words back at her. She smiles at Liz as she steps closer to the desk. "I'm Kol's sisters-in-law Caroline I'm married to his brother Klaus. I grew up with the Mikaelsons a thousand years ago right in this town so much has changed. Like Kol said your last name was Forbes I knew the Forbes' in fact my maiden name was Forbes. I thought the Forbes name died when I did but it didn't."

Liz eyes widen in surprise the a member of the Mikaelson family is a relative of hers and they are terrorizing the town and its residents. Said relative is in front of her. " You were a Forbes, we are related?"

Caroline nods. " I wanted to meet you when Kol told me earlier today. I also wanted to invite you to our house tonight for a ball."

Liz does not understand why they would have a ball and who would come since they are not the most popular family in town in fact they are the most hated family in town to the people that know about them. "Your having a ball?"

Caroline looks up at Kol to help when he says. "My mother is throwing the ball in our home she has invited the town, we wanted to personally invite you since your related to Caroline."

Xxx

Esther spots them as they are coming back. "And where have you two been?"

Caroline and Kol look at each other not sure which one should answer when Caroline opens her mouth Esther starts speaking again. "Never mind the guests will be here soon and not only do I need to make sure everything will be perfect tonight I also want to talk with you Caroline and Niklaus."

Esther leaves expecting Caroline to follow her while Kol goes looking for Klaus.

Xxx

Kol finds his brother in his studio. "Esther has your wife, they are in what Esther has deemed her office."

"You left Caroline with Esther." Klaus pushes his brother out of the doorway. Which just makes the latter laugh.

Xxx

Klaus joins his wife and places his hand on the small of her back and she smiles up at him. Esther turns around from the papers she was busy looking at when her son comes in. " As the only married couple in this family I expect you to keep everyone in line tonight. I've already told Elijah this too, I want this evening to be perfect. This was our home before it was theirs."

"We could kill everyone and start new in this town."

Esther makes a fist with her hand and Klaus groans and holds his head she cups his cheek gently and tells them. "There will be no murdering tonight. Everyone who walks in this home tonight will be walking out."

Both blondes roll their eyes it is much easier to get this family to agree to something if they are feed but Esther has just told them they can't feed on anyone. It's Caroline that speaks next. "If we can't kill anyone and I'm guessing we cant bite and heal either, how do we get blood then?'

"Rebekah took Freya and Finn on a tour of the town today and she mentioned that there was a hospital, now my understanding is hospitals have blood get your blood from there."

"Eww blood bags, it tastes best fresh and don't even get me started on animal blood."

Caroline storms out annoyed that Esther wants them to go on a bagged blood diet.

Xxx

Elijah all ready for the ball leans against the bed and watches as Katherine puts on her floor length strapless red ball gown she has matching nails and black heels her dress matches Elijah's tie. " If Elena and Damon show up will you do anything we haven't seen them since they they tried to break in."

"I have everything I want right in this room, why go after her she has nothing I want, but if she attacks me I won't hold back."

"Well what spot are you on the kill Elena list? I do think if you get some blood from her Klaus might let you move up on list."

Kathrine leans down and connects their lips and smiles into his lips." Your so funny."

Xxx

Finn finds Freya's bedroom and shes looking at herself in the mirror smoothing out and wrinkles in her floor length off the shoulder black ball gown. " Help me with my tie, Sage usually help me but she's not here."

She nods and reaches out for the tie. "They've had you in a coffin this whole time?"

"Not really I found them in 1914 and spent a couple months with them then told them who I really was and that that night I had to go away. Dahlia cursed us sleep a hundred years awake one. I am happy that they took me with them when they left New Orleans and everywhere they were until I woke up. I didn't know that my coffin was joining yours. If I knew I would of awaken you before I fell asleep. When Dahlia took me I thought of you every night and wondered if Elijah had been born yet and if I would ever see you again and if I would get other siblings. I meet them in 1914 and not only do I have other siblings but I have a sister in law but you weren't there."

"No I had been daggered many centuries earlier and only awaken so Klaus can get his wife back."

Freya finishes the tie and smooths out the lapels of his dress coat. " Is Sage your girlfriend?"

Finn smiles at the mention of Sage. "Yeah she's the most beautiful and crazy person I've ever met. We met a year before I was daggered, we reunited when I was undaggered and have been living together ever since. She gets me to do things I never expected I would do. I hated what mother turned us into until I met her she made my life fun."

"Did you invite her tonight I would love to meet her."

" I didn't invite her, I don't want her near our family. Before I was daggered I would have to sneak out and meet her so our siblings wouldn't find out. Caroline knew though she saw me one day and kept the secret. Caroline is too good for Niklaus and even this family."

Freya knows she has only been around her siblings for a couple months tops but she has heard stories mostly all bad, but she doesn't believe that her family is toxic like Finn is making them sound. " They are not toxic they are protective I'm so happy we are all together this is everything I've ever dreamed of."

"Just wait they will destroy that dream."

Freya doesn't listen to him and finishes getting ready.

Klaus enters his bedroom and leaning against the window pane is his beautiful wife. He can tell something is wrong, what he can't tell is it Esther or something else. He comes up behind her and puts his arms around her waist and leaves a kiss on her shoulder.

Caroline smiles into his embrace, their whole lives even as humans there were things that wanted them dead when they were humans it was the wolves, when they turned into vampires it was Mikael and witches who told them they were aversion of nature. Even though they are the strongest, and oldest vampires plus the only thing that could kill them went up in flames with Mikael, Caroline has always felt safe in Klaus's embrace.

"What's on your mind my love?"

"Family, Kol took me to meet the sheriff today and her last name is Forbes."

Klaus is taken back he hasn't heard the name Forbes since his wedding when Ayana said do you Caroline Forbes take Niklaus Mikaelson to be you husband. "Are you sure you heard Kol right, you know he's not a reliable source."

Caroline turns back to her husband and without saying anything she leaves their bedroom Klaus follows her. "Caroline where are you going?"

They stop in front of Kol and Davina's bedroom. Caroline knocks then opens the door to find both getting ready for the ball, Davina in a floor length statin spaghetti strap burgundy dress fixing Kol's burgundy tie. "Kol you were there with me today tell Nik what the Sheriff's last name was?"

"Forbes just like Carolines maiden name."

Caroline looks up at her husband with a I told you smirk written all over her face. Klaus looks down at his wife he hates when he has to admit he was wrong. "You get too much joy out of this."

"All I'm saying is I'm right, and someone insists he's right 100 percent of the time and even when your not like right now you still insist your right, so do I get joy out of when your wrong yeah I do a little bit since you never admit your wrong."

Klaus has followed her back to their room. " So how does it feel to be right?"

"Feels pretty good."

"So answer me this how is sheriff Forbes even alive the Forbes name died when we got married."

Caroline squints her eyes at him out of annoyance. " You just had to ruin my high of being right didn't you."

Klaus smugly nods. " I don't know how sheriff Forbes is alive I can ask her tonight, I invited her to the ball."

As Klaus is zipping her blue tulle ball gown with a jeweled corset he asks. " Speaking of people that are not related to you, and we are in a new town, When will your children be gracing us with their presence."

"Don't start, we've known Enzo for a thousand years and Sebastian for seven hundred years and you don't like that I have an attachment to someone that is not you."

"Your wrong I don't like them because they are reckless and impulsive and that's why we keep Kol alive, Enzo and Sebastian are just useless. Sirelines are not a reason to have faux children. Rebekah doesn't even have people in her sireline that she calls her children."

Caroline whipped round from putting earrings in when she heard Klaus call her children useless. " Hope that comment was worth it your sleeping in your studio tonight."

"Caroline."

"No you don't get it, when we were human my mom and even Esther after we got married kept asking are you pregnant yet. Then Henrik died and we were turned into vampires and I never got to be a mother. I know I did not give birth to Enzo and Sebastian but in a way I did I gave them my blood and turned them into vampires. They have my blood running through their veins. I know you don't like that I am maternal over them and that they call me mom but they are the closest thing I have to fullfilling that wish my mom wanted for me when I got married."

Klaus never knew about the pressure for Caroline to get pregnant or why she singled out Enzo and Sebastian and called them her children. He sees her wipe away tears that she is trying to keep away he pulls her into a hug and kisses the top of her head. " I'm sorry, this is a stressful time for everyone. If I may I think only Enzo should come, Lets not give the annoying doppelgänger, the Bennett witch and Damon another reason to hate us."

"Sebastian massacred one village when he was a baby vampire and you've never let it go, meanwhile we've all massacred villages. You don't bring up the coven of witches I massacred when they tried to kill you."

Caroline pokes her head in Rebekah and Stefan's room and sees Stefan buttoning up his dress shirt and Rebekah putting on black heels to match her green ball gown. " I had a conversation with your brother last night, turns out after he out of our doorway he camped out on our lawn. He told me that he will stop trying to kill us because he sees that we make you happy."

Stefan is stunned this is one of the most selfless things Damon has ever done.

Xxx

Davina and Kol come down the stairs and are met with Esther at the bottom of the stairs. "Davina you need to remove the spell on the doors so our guests can come in."

Davina and Kol look at each each other, Kol knows his girlfriend doesn't want to remove this spell, even without they can take care of themselves but with the spell its an extra security. Davina heard stories about Esther and has used spells from her grimoire but since meeting her she is not impressed, this is the original witch and she can't remove a spell from her grimoire. Davina cast it but she got it from Esther.

"No."

Esther is surprised that Davina said no to her, she can sense the power running through Davina she is impressed that Davina actually seems to care for the Mikaelsons. When she came back she knew Caroline would still be with Klaus but she did not take into account that Kol would of found someone and said someone would be a witch.

Before Esther can do anything they hear from upstairs. " The quicker this night can end the quicker you can go back into your coffin."

They look over at the stairs and see Klaus in a black suit descending alone. Esther makes a fist and Klaus grunts pain emitting from his brain. He vamps over and pins Esther by the throat to one of the pillars across from the stairs. She flicks her wrist and he goes flying down the hallway.

Caroline, Rebekah, Stefan, Katherine, Elijah, Freya and Finn saw this at the top of the stairs. Caroline and Rebekah have a whole conversation between them just through looks and both nod. They quickly descend each side of staircase, Caroline goes to find her husband while Rebekah goes over to Kol and Davina.

Xxx

Caroline finds Klaus at the entrance of the kitchen. She helps him up and before he can vamp off Caroline stops him. "Seriously."

"She is ridiculous if she thinks we are going to be a big happy family now because she is here, we kill her, Finn goes back to Sage and we can be a family again."

"We haven't seen Finn since the sixties what if he stayed around or we bring Sage here."

Klaus looks down at his wife and squints his eyes. "You didn't, what did you do?"

Caroline looks up at him innocently. "Nothing, yet but think about Esther has always had Finn wrapped around her finger but since the last time we've seen Esther Finn has met Sage maybe he's not as devoted to mommy dearest. "

Klaus smiles down at his wife he loves her so much and is so brilliant, putting aside their bicker earlier tonight they could never stay away from each other. "Lets hope my love."

Rebekah goes over to Kol and Davina, " Darling this is not your fault."

"Really I didn't do what she wanted and now Klaus is paying the price."

"What is going on?"

Kol goes to answer but Davina does "It's my all fault I told Esther no and now she is taking it out on Klaus."

Rebekah looks over at Esther who is watching Klaus and Caroline then at everyone else at on the stairs. " Esther wants this ball for some reason and we are all dressed up plus if something does happen we'll kill it. So let the barrier down."

Davina looks at the door then Esther then at Kol who places his hand on her lower back. She nods and walks over to the door and chants in Latin. When its done she turns to Esther. "There have your ball."

Xxx

Esther invited the whole town the whole downstairs is filled with people, Caroline spots Elena, Damon and Bonnie entering and rolls her eyes. She so hoped they weren't invited. She downs her champagne wishing it was blood and places her empty glass on a passing tray.

She does smile when she sees Liz coming through the door in a Beautiful pink floor length dress she is marveling at the opulence of the mansion. " Liz I'm so happy you made it, may we talk?"

Liz nods and Caroline guides her under the right staircase there is an hallway that leads to the indoor pool. She takes her to the beginning of the hallway. " Now this might sound weird but how far back can you track the Forbes name myself excluded?"

Liz did not expect that question. It is still throwing her that Caroline is a distant relative of hers. " Um… my mom would always tell me I was named after Elizabeth 'Lizzie' Forbes she lived three hundred and fifty years ago. Did you know Lizzie Forbes."

"No until Kol told me what your last name was I thought I was the only Forbes in the world."

Liz kinda feels bad for Caroline finding out that you have family you never knew out about is difficult and for Liz she finds out that her distant family is a vampire and one of the oldest ones. " I need a drink, want to join me?"

Liz smiles at her and nods.

Finn comes up to Katherine at the bar. " You were smart to come our mother Esther is waiting upstairs for you."

Katherine nods and when Finn leaves Katherine makes a beeline for Elijah she whispers in his ear " Finn just came up to me mistaking me for Elena, Esther invited Elena here and wants to have a meeting with her."

"You need to go to that meeting as Elena, while I tell the others Esther is planning something I'll meet you outside the study."

Elijah goes to walk away but Katherine reaches out to him " Esther is going to know I'm not Elena and kill me I didn't not survive your brother just to be killed by your mother."

"Your Katerina Petrova your a survivor exactly you've dealt with my brother for five hundred years you can handle my mother for a couple minutes I will be right outside."

"I'm only doing this because I love you."

Elijah smiles down at her and leaves a kiss on her lips. " I know and I love you too."

Xxx

As Elijah and Katherine are leaving the ballroom they see Elena talking with Damon and Bonnie but also scanning the room for Stefan who is with Rebekah in the hallway talking with mayor Lockwood.

They go upstairs and Elijah kisses Katherine's cheek before she goes. When she goes in Finn and Esther are talking on the couch in the middle of the room and there are candles are all over the room.

Esther looks at Katherine and waves her over to sit on the couch Finn leaves and Elijah hides so Finn does not see him when he walks by. "Thank you for accepting my invitation. Now I am told you want my children dead."

Katherine had no clue what Esther wanted Elena for but seriously getting Esther to do her dirty work is ridiculous if Elena can't kill the Mikaelson's on her own she shouldn't do it. " Yes, your children are horrible people who killed me and are terrorizing this town. Who told you I wanted them dead?"

"Since I used Bennett magic to free myself and a Bennett witch preserved me a thousand years ago I have tapped into the magic line. I can help you get rid of my children but I can't do anything about Caroline or Kol's girlfriend. For they are not my children but they will suffer none the less watching the people they love the most die and there is nothing they can do. For this spell I will need the blood of a doppelgänger."

Esther reaches for Katherine's hand when she touches her she feels cold and knows this is not Elena. She snaps her fingers and Katherine's neck snaps and she falls off the couch.

Xxx

Esther leaves Katherine on the floor while she searches for Elena when she finds her she accidentally bumps into her, After Esther leaves Elena, Elena looks down at her hand she felt it tingling but its fine.

Elijah saw his mother leave the room but never saw Katherine leave he hurries into the room and sees Katherine on the floor he picks her up and takes her to their bedroom laying her on their bed he sits down next to her and brushes the hair off her face she looks so innocent and he loves that she put herself in danger to find out if Esther was up to something.

Xxx

Elijah is coming down the stairs when all his siblings, Caroline, Davina and Esther are taking their place on the stairs. Esther tells her son "The dancing is about to start make a speech."

Elijah takes a place in the middle of the staircase, Esther, then Kol and Davina, Klaus and Caroline, Elijah, Rebekah, Finn and Freya.

"When our family is all together like this we like to celebrate with a dance tonight we will be dancing a waltz, so find a dance partner and join us."

Stefan joined his brother Elena and Bonnie during Elijah's speech. Damon whispered over to his brother " Who are the new Mikaelson's?"

"Their mother Esther, oldest brother Finn and oldest sister Freya. Freya is nice, Finn hates his siblings except Caroline and there is already a line to kill Esther. Caroline told me about your conversation last night thank you."

Damon looks over at his brother he sees Stefan and Rebekah smiling and looking at each other. " I want the best for you Stef and if that's Rebekah then I'm happy for you."

Xxx

Kol spins Davina into the ballroom and she laughs. While Klaus takes his wife's hand and brings her closer to him. " Have you forgiven me yet?"

"It's not a matter of forgiving its a matter of you apologizing, I'll make it easy you don't have to apologize to Enzo and Sebastian just me for insulting my children."

Klaus lets out a long breath he doesn't apologize, he didn't do anything wrong but to make it up to Caroline I guess he can give it a try. " If I apologize can I sleep in our bed tonight?"

"I don't know I am hurt by what you said they are not useless."

Klaus spins her to the next partner and Finn catches her and they dance together. " What's wrong sister?"

Caroline smiles at his question. She loves that Finn still sees her as his sister. "You still call me sister?''

"You were never the one to do anything to me. You would always talk to me and include me in things."

"How's Sage?"

Caroline is not only the one knew knew about Sage when they were sneaking around but she is also the only one who visited Finn and Sage after Finn left them in the sixties. " She's good, Without her I would not be here right now. I didn't want to come it was Sage who got me to change my mind."

Before the dance is over she leans up and kisses his cheek. "You've always been a brother to me, I love you Finn."

"I love you too Caroline."

Xxx

Kol leans down and whispers in Davina's ear. "You think Esther would notice if a couple people went messing from her precious ball."

"She knew I had magic without even knowing me and while still dead she used Bonnie's magic. I think she'll know but I know your itching to kill someone."

Davina goes up to the bar and Klaus sees her while he's getting a drink. " I know that look, Kol's being annoying. Lets see my brother does have a insatiable appetite so how many people does he want to kill? Also remind him if he kills anyone share with the rest of us. We are just as bored as he is."

Davina lets out a little laugh and smiles up at him. Elijah finds them and is happy that the two people he needs are already together. " We have a problem. Esther invited Elena here for some reason but Finn mistook Katherine for Elena and when Esther found out she snapped Katherine's neck."

"Your precious Katerina got her neck snapped that's your problem, I have got several aneurysms, thrown down a hallway and have to sleep in my studio tonight."

Klaus Elijah and Davina grew close because of those five years in the sixties trying to find Caroline and Kol. Plus she has been with this family for almost two hundred years so she know the complexities of this family and how they can make a small problem huge but she never expected Finn to show up, Esther to come back and Freya to wake up all in the span of twelve hours.

"Niklaus your marital problems will go away you and Caroline always come back together. Meanwhile we all remember the last curse."

Klaus glares at his brother. As they hear Esther clearing her throat and calling everyone to the foyer. Everyone comes into the foyer and sees Esther on the landing between the two staircases. "Ladies and gentlemen thank you all for coming, It is a special night as I have all my children in the same room. Waiters are coming around with glasses so please raise a glass. Cheers."

Klaus and Davina look to Elijah who nods. Everyone takes a glass and one by one everyone takes a sip of the champagne.

Xxx

After the ball Esther companied by Finn enter the study Esther broke Katherine's neck in. "Are you ready?"

Finn hesitates placing his hand in Esther's outstretched one. "Are you having second thoughts? You seemed so sure when I came to you in your dreams."

"It's just Caroline said something to me earlier. I don't know."

"This will not affect her."

Finn places his hand in hers and she slices his palm letting his blood drip on to a parchment with all the siblings names on it.

Xxx

Caroline pokes her head in Kol and Davina's room. "I'm going hunting want to come."

"I'd love to but we have to get some stuff from New Orleans to stop Esther. I'll get someone on the road."

Davina gets up from the desk in their room, she has been looking at one of the grimoires, "Caroline I need your finger."

They all know not to question Davina when she's doing a spell so if she needs their finger then they will give it to her. She pokes Caroline in the index finger and a small bit of blood comes out she squeezes her finger until more blood comes out she drips the blood on to her finger and with her eyes closed she chants under her breath.

"Kol can I have your finger again."

Kol gives her his finger and she does the same thing she did with Caroline's finger to Kol's. " I thought I got the spell wrong but I didn't. Kol there is something wrong with you but Caroline's fine. I'm going to have to check everyone."

Xxx

Elijah had gone to his room after the ball and as he enters he sees Katherine awaking he sits down next to her and she smiles up at him but only for a moment remembering the last thing she saw. "Esther she wants all her children dead leaving Caroline and Davina alive to watch the people they love die around them helpless."

"I knew she was up to something. Do you know how she is going to kill us. Fortunately for Caroline she has people outside of the family that she loves too."

Katherine sitting up a little more in their bed. " She didn't tell me, all she said was she needed doppelgänger blood and when she grabbed my hand she felt I was me not Elena and snapped my neck."

Elijah leans forward and places a tender kiss on her forehead he was worried about sending her into meeting with Esther, if his mother had killed her he doesn't know what he would do. "I love you my Katerina."

"I love you too Elijah."

Davina, Kol, Klaus, Caroline, and Rebekah burst into his room. "I need your finger."

Both look at the small gathering in their doorway. Elijah rubs the bridge of his nose while he outstretches his hand. Davina pokes it, makes it bleed drips it on her finger and chants. "There is a spell on the Mikaelson siblings I can't tell what spell, Caroline does not have it nor do I or Stefan, Katherine wouldn't have since she wasn't there. It would have to be... Esther did something to the champagne she toasted with."

"Lucky for us Davina and I are going to New Orleans to get stuff to stop Esther going any further and Freya can get the spell off."

Elijah looks back at Katherine they both lock eyes. "She got Elena's blood."
