Elijah couldn't believe his eyes as he saw Marcellus dead body right at his feet.

Leaning down he slowly touched his body before yanking his hand away in shock. "He is dead, Why did you kill him?!" Before he knows it he sprung upon his feet as he wrapped his hands around his so-called sister. "Answer me a witch! Why did you kill him!"

Bonnie looked scared and raised her hands but Freya stopped her. "Don't!"

Bonnie dropped her hands as she tried to reason with Elijah. "Elijah calm down! This was part of our mission!"

"Killing him as part of your mission?!" Elijah stared at this witch incredulously but it was his sister who answered him while gasping for air. "No, saving our family was part of our mission."

She then pointed at Marcel's dead body and cast a spell.

His grip on his sister's neck slackens as he watched his skin turning back to its original form but somehow muscles of his body grew more prominent as Marcel gasp and open his eyes.

Elijah staggered backwards as they watched Marcel rise on his feet. "Is it done?" He asks as he tried to focus on his new senses. Both witches nodded their heads and then Freya gave him the leftover blood of Hope. "Here, you need to drink doppelganger blood to complete your transition."

Bonnie places assuring hands-on Elijah's shoulder as they watched Marcel drink entire blood.

The empty bottle dropped but none of them paid attention to it because their gaze was transfixed on Marcel whose eyes turned bright Golden as four fangs peeked out from his mouth, his hand's nails turned into claws, the wolves claw.

( Earlier that day in Mystic Falls)

Elena waited patiently at a boarding house as she kept staring out of the door for any signs of approaching cars but felt disappointed each time when she couldn't detect one.

"Relax Lena, they will arrive soon," Jeremy told her once again but his voice was once again ignored by his sister who has her cell phone out again. "Pick up Damon!"

She was about to throw her phone in frustration when she heard the approaching sound of cars. "They are here!"

She rushed outside and sure enough, two cars stopped outside. Stefan and Caroline get out of his car and Damon and Klaus get out from his car and from the backseat, Ric emerges with none other than Katherine who was helping Hope out from her car seat.

"What is she doing here?" Elena asks everyone but it was Caroline who answers her. "Because she is the only person who is in good books of Hope."

She was stunned and little jealous as she watched Hope doting on Katherine Pierce.

"Hope, sweetie!" She called out to her and Hope's eyes momentarily lit up as they watched each other but as soon she stepped forward to embrace her Hope's face fell as she tugged Katherine's hands. "I'm tired will you take me to my room."

Katherine looked unsure as she asks. "Me?"

"Yes, you because, unlike some people, you don't attack our family member." Hope glared at everyone while Katherine dead heart thudded by this little girls words.

Elena winced as she watched Hope giving her an angry look while trusting this awful woman who ruined their lives countless times. 'Why would she call Katherine her family?' With pang her mind went on her Nona 'Can Katherine be?' she shook her head and turned to face Damon who was staring at her apologetically. "Well I promised to return home with her but I never promise that she will forgive us for that day."

Reaching out they embraced each other and her eyes fell on Klaus who looked as sad as Damon did.

"It's okay, I am sure she will forgive us now she is home," Elena assured Damon who gave her a weak smile.

She looked around and saw a few missing people. "Where is Bonnie and other originals?"

Damon groaned as he said. "First we need drinks because that is one hell of a story."

So they went inside where Damon grabbed the entire bottle and took few gulps while others help themselves as they start filling her in about their journey.

"And now they were off to their secret mission while rest of the originals are following their tail."

Elena was quiet for a moment before she mused. "Her future seems more dangerous than we originally thought."

"I think our family is on verge of war and from the sound of things my mother and her elder sister is the enemy that strikes our family in future," Klaus told them absentmindedly but to her surprise, Damon's face grew more serious. "Your mother's ghost attacked Hope trice do you think she will attack her again?"

"She will keep attacking her until she succeeds," Klaus replied his face filled with hate and anger and Elena saw same emotions on Damon's face as he says. "Let her try, she will be surprised to see how well protected our girl is."

To everyone surprise, both Klaus and Damon raised their glasses in agreement.

############

The upcoming days were strangest that anyone has ever experienced. Hope seems to taken habit to stay closer to Katherine who received a hateful glare from Damon and Klaus who are still in Hope's back books. "It's because of her you are still alive, you better remember that!" Klaus told her that night when she went down to get milk for. Hope.

Elena tried to talk to her but Hope refused to see her. "She hurt my aunt Bex! She is as bad as the rest of them."

Hope told Caroline, who is another person she is talking to.

That night Elena cried in Damon's arms who was trying his best to not show his own emotions. "What have we done! She won't even see our face let alone talk to us."

Stefan who was hearing this from his own room tried to reach out but Hope refuses to see him too. "Aunt Kathy, please tell him that I am mad at him too! He was trying to harm my uncles."

"But Hope, you don't have any idea what Klaus did with me!" He helplessly tried to plead his case but Hope gave him her deathly glare. "Enough! Aunt Kathy, can you please close the door." Katherine looked apologetically at him as she shut the door on his face.

Stefan winced and downstairs Klaus did the same. 'Damon was right this child has one hell of a temper.' He thought to himself as he went outside to guard the house in case his mother's spirit decides to attack his daughter again.

It was their third morning since they return home, Damon woke up and head straight to the kitchen where he made pancakes for Hope.

Thirty minutes later his brother, Elena and even Klaus were sitting around the table when Hope arrived hand in hand with Katherine.

This time Katherine ignore their glare and they ignore Katherine's presence as Damon tried to ask. "Hope, do you want some pancakes, I made chocolate one too just for my favourite girl."

Instead of replying Hope looked at Katherine with her adorable eyes as she asks. " Can you make me banitsa?

Katherine looked momentarily stumped as she asks. "How did you?"

"It was the first thing your Mama taught you and you often made it for me whenever we visited each other."

It was then they felt like entering twilight zone because Katherine's eyes filled with tears as she leaned down to embrace Hope. "Sure! I will make anything you want my sweet child!"

A new wave of jealousy stabbed inside Elena's heart and suddenly she was on her feet. "Excuse me."

She quickly left before anyone can see her tears as she grabbed her purse and open the door but before she could reach her car, her path was blocked by Damon who was staring at her curiously. "Hey what's wrong?" He wipes her tears away. "Is this because of Hope's behaviour? You do realize it's because she is angry with us?"

She shook her head still not meeting his eyes. "Elena, she is just a child, surely you know how children became ruthless when they express their anger."

He was about to comfort her more but Elena stepped away from him. "When were you going to tell me about Katherine?"

"What about her?" He looked clueless which angers her more as she yells. "That she is her Nona! Your future wi...!" She was unable to complete that word as she starts crying.

Damon was quiet for a heartbeat and then he burst into laughter while pulling her in his embrace. "Elena you silly, silly girl. Katherine is not her Nona apparently she is her aunt Kathy." He scrunched his nose but Elena felt beaming with happiness. "So she is not your future?"

"Well she is going to be part of it, I mean if Klaus can be my granddaughter's father then why not Katherine can be her aunt."

He watched Elena bit her lip so he cupped her face and assure her. "Don't worry because if they can be part of my future then you are definitely there too."

She smiled but soon it was gone as he says. "I bet your grandkids are friends with her."

He seems pleased with that thought but she was unable to reply as she smiles weakly and then said goodbye before driving away from him.

############

It was during lunchtime when Caroline finally found Elena sitting by herself on benches. "Elena, Bonnie just called and they will be arriving this evening isn't that just great!"

Her enthusiasm vanished when she finally notices lost look on her friends face. She slowly nudged her and Elena looked startled by that movement. "Hey, Care."

"Hey, Care? Have you heard one word I said?!"

Elena looked at her in confusion making her sigh as she asks. "Tell me, Elena, what is bothering you? Is it Hope?"

This time her face filled with sadness. "I understand Hope's anger and she has ever right because in her eyes I was hurting her aunt."

"Give it time, Hope is such a sweet girl and I am sure she will forgive everyone soon."

But even after her assurance Elena seems still lost. "I guess there is more reason behind this sullen expression."

At this point, she couldn't take it anymore as she starts pouring her heart out to Caroline. "You know, when Klaus came to sacrifice me I told Stefan that I can't see my future with a vampire because I wanted a family."

Caroline nods her head in understanding because that is one thing any girl will want.

"I was so sure and in my mind, I always knew that Stefan and I will part ways in future."

At this point Caroline interjected. "So are you going to break up with Stefan for sure?"

Elena looked surprised as she says. "Stefan, this isn't about Stefan. In fact, I haven't given him thought since he attacked me on Klaus's orders. I am actually thinking about Damon."

As usual, Caroline narrowed her eyes in a scowl. "What about him?" She asks more harshly then she wanted but Elena didn't notice her tone as she admits. "Ever since Hope arrived something changes in Damon and I saw this loving nurturing side of him."

She blushed as she recalls those sweet moments. "After such a long time I felt part of a family when we were taking care of Hope and I don't know how but I crave that family with Damon! I want to be part of his future Care and today I felt a burst of Jealousy when I thought Katherine as Hope's Nona."

Caroline was gaping at her in shock because even though she didn't say it out loud but Caroline can feel the love behind in her words.

Oblivious to her friend's expression Elena gathered her stuff and said. "I think I am going to visit my parents for a while. See you later Care."

With that, she left and as Caroline get up to leave she felt something, looking around she search her surrounding but as soon that off feeling came it was gone.

Shaking her head she reprimanded herself. "Get a grip Care!"

And she left and at the same time, a strange mist follows Elena's footsteps.

###########

It was almost sunset when Klaus found his daughter painting outside in Salvatore's garden.

She was busy brushing colours on her paper and Klaus felt impressed by this young girl artistic skills. "Nice."

She glances at him and then at her painting. "You love to paint too, in fact, it's our favourite hobby."

To his delight, she ripped the spare paper from her drawing book and put it in front of him along with a spare brush.

Klaus felt strange happiness inside him as he took his seat and start painting together.

Damon who was looking from far smile at this scene and after staying these past few days in the dog house, any progress is better than her angry glare.

They have almost finished their paintings when Damon appears with sandwiches.

"I thought you must be hungry after your little art time." He explains when she raised her eyes at him.

She watched from one man to another and then folded her arms as she asks. "All these paintings and cooking is your way of asking forgiveness?"

Klaus smile while Damon looked little embarrassed as they both nodded their heads.

She stood up and took a bite from her sandwich as she paced in front of them before stopping as she asks. "What exactly you both can do to earn my forgiveness?"

"Anything!" They both said simultaneously and Hope smirked at them. "Well then, I know exactly what I wanted to do!"

And somehow her exciting eyes make both this dangerous man happy as well as a little bit of nervous.

############

Stefan and Caroline just came back from school that evening when he heard something from the gardens.

"What's going on?! They ask Katherine who smile and pointed in front of them.

"One! Two! Three!" Hope yelled as both men jumped high on the tree branch before jumping down again landing neatly on the land.

Hope then wave her hands and their footprints stamp on the ground.

And as they move away Damon's steps were further away from Klaus's steps plus his steps were inches deeper on the ground then Damon's.

"Yours is two hundred ft Pappie and Dad your is twelve hundred ." Hope frowned as she used magic to mark the distance. "That's strange because last time we played this game you both were able to do twenty to seventy thousand meters."

Before any of them could answer they heard a voice behind them. "That's because they grew stronger and faster over the years."

"Aunt Freya!" Hope ran passed them to hug her aunts and uncles who return it awkwardly.

She then hugged Bonnie and finally saw Marcel. "Now you look like my strong brother." And they all watched Marcel kneeling down on his knees as he embraces his little sister.

"Come, Marcel, let's see how far you can climb." She was pulling his hands when suddenly her eyes rolled back. "Hope!"

Marcel was shaking her but she stays irresponsive. "Somebody help her!" He yelled as he watched everyone huddled around her.

"What is wrong with her?" Klaus screams while touching his daughter's shaking form.

"Someone in our family is in grave danger and she is having a vision about that danger."

Damon looked around and almost everyone who is important was already here. Well everyone except one. "Where is Elena?!"

Stefan looked baffled while Caroline looked scared as she replied. "She went to visit her parents grave?"

He was about to scream at her for letting her go alone but right at that moment, his granddaughter says. "Esther got her! Grams she has taken her to the witches burned house! We have to get to her before she can kill..."

She didn't finish her sentence as she sprinted towards the forest.

############

When they reached the site they saw Elena who seems to be hoodwinked as she eerily floats mid-air.

Damon put Hope down from his arms as he, Stefan and Elijah tried to reach Elena but all four of them were thrown away.

"Stay with your aunt!" Klaus instructed her as he, Rebekah, Kol and Fin rushed towards the barrier but like others, they were thrown back too.

Marcel who was watching them fall again used his ultra-sharp senses and on the left side of Elena, he felt shimmering of some kind.

"There! On her left!" Both Freya and Bonnie cast a defensive spell that was enough to create disturbance as Elena came back to her senses and fall down. "Ahaaa!"

Marcel act fast and catches her mid-air and neatly lands on the ground with Elena secure in his arms. "Hi, I'm Marcel."

Still in shock, she tried to smile. "Thanks."

As soon he put her down she was embraced by Damon. "Thank God we reached for you in time."

As he stepped back she was embraced by tiny arms as Hope cried against her waist. "I got so scared when I saw her taking you!"

"You were scared? Are you not angry with me anymore?" Elena inquires and Hope groaned. "We can't stay angry with people we love."

Damon watched both her favourite girls embracing each other once again but that moment was short-lived when Caroline scream.

"Guys look out!"

Once again a force hit them and they all scattered on the ground.

"Damon! Elena screams as they watched Hope being dragged on the ground.

Freya blasts a spell near her feet while Katherine stopped Hope as she grabbed her into her arms but notice Hope has fallen unconscious.

She then notices blood seeping from her hair and scratches appear on her arms. "She is hurting the child!" Katherine yelled in disbelief as she double-checks her body for other wounds.

"Give me the child and I will let you go!"

Esther's voice echoes all around them making Fin looked around for its the source. "Mother! Stop hurting her, she is just a child!"

"She is abomination just like the rest of you!"

"And whose fault is that!" Kol yelled as Elijah stepped forward. "Leave us be a mother if you ever love us then spare our family!"

"Never!"

"Then go to hell!" Rebekah roared and once again they all were hit by invisible source only this time all vampires start withering in pain.

Marcel was only one who was on his feet and even though the pain was affecting him with his new powers he was able to withstand it. "Freya! Bonnie can't you make a protective circle?!"

Bonnie saw tree right beside the house so she and Freya ran theirs with Marcel and Hope.

"On our signal bring rest of them under this tree," Freya instructed him as she and Bonnie join hands. "Grams, please I beg you to help us!"

With that, both witches start chanting protection spell. Soon a circle of fire appear around the tree and it was then Freya gave her signal. "Now!"

Since Katherine was near, he gets her first, then Rebekah, Stefan, Caroline, Elena, Kol, Fin and Elijah.

As soon they enter the circle the pain left their bodies but they felt strange kind of weakness.

Marcel looked worried as he told them. "I can't get those two! I think Esther is trying to kill them!"

Freya looked at Damon and Klaus, it was clear that their bodies were going pale. "On my count grabbed them!"

Freya then stepped closer and taunted her mother. "You are weak! If you really wanted to kill them you would have able to do that by now! No wonder Dahlia always called you pathetic witch of our family."

It seems her plan was working because now that force was hitting at her direction which makes it easy for Marcel to bring Damon and Klaus under the safety.

"Damon!" Elena reached for him as they embraced each other. Damon groaned in weakness but managed to smile at Klaus. "No wonder you guys end up like this, fruits of the rotten tree and all, talking about psycho mommy she is really pissed with us."

"Well she can't do anything to us as long we are under this tree," Caroline said in a hopeful voice but then drops of water hit her face. "What is going on?"

"Rain!" Bonnie told her friends as she and Freya stood up preparing themselves for another attack.

Few of those drop hits Hope's face who starts gaining her consciousness.

The blood from her head and arms were now soaking the ground below them and as the full moon appears through this unnatural rain words escape Hope's lips. "Home. Take me Home."

The rain stopped as fire disappear and they can felt upcoming attack when suddenly wind start roaring and all of them were swept into the hurricane as darkness takes over them.

############

One by one they all came back to their senses and found themselves staring at the tree under the moonlight.

"God! What was that!?" Rebekah groaned as they stood up.

Only Hope and Elena were still unconscious so Freya used her magic and felt relief when they both wake up.

"What's going on?" Does Elena ask?

"Looks like your mother left us." Stefan mused but Elijah shakes his head as he says. "Our mother never quit, although something is certainly amiss here."

"Like, what?! Absence of you psycho mom?!" Damon scoffed.

"No, looked around Damon something is different in our surroundings!" Klaus told him as he stepped forward.

Marcel senses detected some noise. "Something is coming."

Damon pulled Elena and Hope behind him as they watched twenty muscular men walking towards their direction.

"Not these again!" Marcel groaned while Elijah hurriedly warned others. "Chopped their heads off and no matter what you do not let them bit you."

It was chaos but this time with Marcel's newfound strength and Elijah's experience plus with other vampires on their side they were managed to get rid of them.

"I don't understand, What are these Zombies vampires doing here?!" Marcel ask as he dismembered last one.

Before anyone could answer him thirty more Zombie Vampires came out and by the look of it, they were evening than those they just killed off.

"Any plans!" Kol asks as he saw exhaustion taking over his companions.

They were bracing themselves when another footstep joined them making that Zombie Vampire turned around to face at the intruder.

"You don't want to face me." A woman voice reached their ears. "Last warning leave and you may live to die another day."

Before they could understand that women jump high and chopped two zombie vampires head off from their bodies!

She then jumps again and they could only catch Burnett hair as she twisted herself and turned into Brown wolf.

A collective gasp escapes from them as they watched this she werewolf tear these monsters apart like cotton candy.

When only ten of them left one Zombie Vampire kicked that wolf and she howls in pain.

"That's my mother, you brainless monsters!" A man collided with that Zombie and ripped him into half.

"Marcel, Rebekah!" they all yell at the same time as their eyes fell from one Marcel/ Rebekah who was fighting to another Marcel/ Rebekah who was standing with them.

The guy looked momentarily surprised as he stared at them but soon he was taking rest of them out.

They all watched Rebekah passed a small backpack to the wolf who grabbed it and vanished behind the trees.

The other Marcel was making sure that everyone is dead before he called Rebekah.

"Bex, we have a situation."

The woman finally noticed them and gasp as they zoom towards them.

She collided with Klaus as she cried out. "Nick! How did you escape?!" Klaus was unable to reply but he didn't get the chance because.

"Marcel!" Hope yells as she ran straight into her brother's arms who easily scooped her up. "Great to see you Kid, although we both are so much in trouble." He told her as his eyes roam over her travelling companions.

Rebekah then moves away and as she did her eyes fell on other Rebekah. "What the Hell!"

Before anyone can respond a woman finally emerge from trees, she was now wearing a brown top and jeans shorts.

As she grew closer they recognize her from Hope's sketch. "Mom!"

"Hope!" The Burnett beauty with green eyes open her arms and hugged Hope so tightly as if she is never going to let her go. "Thank God! You came back! I was so worried!"

She then stopped as her eyes fell on Damon and Klaus who were standing together. "Dad! Klaus!"

And though they never imagined anything still it hit them hard when tears of joy spilt from that women's eye who all but ran towards them as she wrapped her arms around their shoulders as if she is never going to let them go.

And they don't know how but at that moment both men knew that they held another woman who was special to them.
