As soon as Kol's news about Tristan settles in, the family spare no time as they busy themselves with preparation.
"I will make a call to the rest of our family." Enzo was first to break the silence as he stares at his wife. "Love, I think you and Freya should start preparing for this merger."
Kissing his wife he began to head towards their room.
Fin then instructed his wife "Sage, since you are not participating in a merger, you should prepare the jet for this long journey."
Fin watched them sharing an intimate look before she headed outside but not before Haley calls her out. "Sage! Can you stop by the outhouse first and send Marcel and Hope back inside."
She nods her head and then left as Davina stood up. "So how are you planning to do this merging thing? I mean how it supposed to works, like jumping bodies?!"
Both Elijah's frowned as Davina's question reminded them of their brother Klaus who was famous for Jumping in his victim's bodies.
Klaus who was thinking along the same lines was stunned when Freya replied.
"We are not talking about spirit jumping. It's more complex and advanced magic and on top of that it's rarely used ever before."
Bonnie then muttered a spell and book flew out of nowhere before landing straight in her hands. "Come, everyone, we still have a few hours before dawn to perform this merger."
With that everyone head outside but stopped as Hope and Past Marcel arrived.
"Aunt Div! Uncle Kol!"
She rushed straight towards her uncle and aunt who bent down to hug their niece. "Please don't be angry with us," Hope begged and felt her aunt's arms tighten around her. "We are not angry with your kid."
"It's impossible to be made with our favourite niece," Kol assured her which makes Hope frown at him. "I'm your only niece." She reminds him of making him smirk at her. "Touché."
Their reunion was cut short when Haley intervened.
"Hope sweetie, come get some rest. Tomorrow we all are leaving for France."
"France but why?"
They all briefly stared at each other because they don't want to give her false hope.
Finally, Elena spoke up as she answers her granddaughter with assuring smile. "The rest of our family found a safe house in France and that's where we are going. Now come along we need you well rested for this long journey."
Elena then turned and stared at her past version, Damon, Klaus, Stefan and Caroline."
"I think you five should get some rest since you guys can't participate in merger."
"Why can't we participate in merger?!" Damon and Klaus inquire at the same time.
"Its because we need both bodies present for merger and since Stefan and Caroline are not present at this moment and you two are trapped somewhere we can't risk including you."
"But what about me?" Elena asks out and her future self looked sadly at her. "Even with doppelganger blood, you are still first and foremost human Elena and I are afraid your body is not strong enough to withstand this merge."
It was clear Elena felt weak at that moment so Bonnie assured her friend. "They are right Elena, this is uncharted territory and it will be an insane risk to do human/vampire merger.
Feeling dejected Elena agreed as they followed Haley, Elena and Hope upstairs.
First, they head towards Hope's bedroom. It was decorated with a painting of forest and tapestry of their entire family. They waited as Haley and Elena take Hope towards the bathroom for wash and change. A few minutes later they emerge with Hope looking fresh dressed in her purple jammies.
One by one they all kissed her good night and soon the entire day took a toll on her young body because she fell asleep in seconds.
Slowly they crept out of her room and then start walking when Elena stopped and pointed at the left side door. "This was room Stefan and Caroline used whenever they come for visit, I believe you can find a few spare clothes for time being..." She trailed off when they both looked extremely embarrassed.
"Oh, you guys are still not together in your time?" Elena shakes her head at her foolishness. "I'm so sorry guys, the thing is, after so many years of happiness it's hard to even remember the past where we lived without our soulmates.
Haley couldn't help but watched with hidden amusement how Damon and Elena steal glances with each other while Stefan and Caroline blushed embarrassingly because they are still just friends.
She then make mistake as her eyes landed on Klaus and now it was her turn to blush under his intense gaze as he said out loud. "You are right, I do prefer this marvellous future over thousands of lonely year's of my past."
Haley felt her heart flutter at his admission but their sweet moment was disrupted with an annoying cough as Damon loudly clear his throat as he cough. "Perv."
A growl was about to erupt from Klaus when suddenly Stefan spoke up.
"Its ok, Damon and I can share a guest bedroom with Klaus and Elena can stay here with Caroline. We just need some spare clothes."
Klaus who was trying hard to hold back his glare felt relax when Haley suggested. "That's a great uncle! I mean Stefan. Aunt, I mean Caroline you can find clothes for yourself in closet and mom you should take them with you." She pointed at her past parents before turning towards Klaus. "You can follow me, I bet you will agree with your taste in clothes."
Ignoring Damon protests and Klaus triumphant smile she leads him towards their bedroom.
As much Damon wanted to protect his daughter from advances of the big bad wolf, he and Elena start walking the opposite direction and follow future Elena towards her bedroom.
Upon entering the first thing they both drawn towards to was frame after frame of photographs of themselves and what shocked them most was how happier they both seem to look in each picture.
Damon picked up one in which he was holding small new-born baby Davina while a two-year-old Haley was perched on Elena's lap staring at her baby sister.
On the other hand, Elena was holding their wedding picture, She felt strange kind of fluttering when she saw herself as happiest bride and Damon staring her with so much adoration.
They were so lost in these wonderful would be memories that they were startled when Elena joined them.
"I still remember each one of this moment, I know you won't believe me but Damon brings me so much joy. He fulfils all his promises by giving me passion, adventure and a little bit of danger but above all an endless love."
Elena felt like she has heard these words before, while Damon looked away with a hint of guilt as he muttered. "So she remembered."
The vampire hearing came in handy because while human Elena couldn't pick up Vampire Elena did who smirk at Damon as she told him in low voice. "I wish you didn't compel me, it could have spared all of us that heartache."
While Damon felt speechless the same could be said for the original hybrid as he watched himself smiling in pictures with Haley.
He couldn't believe how happy he looked, it felt like he is watching a different person who may resemble him.
After putting down his wedding picture and Hope's birth picture, he then picked that seems the earlier days of their relationship, it looked like a bonfire and he and Haley seem to be dancing when this picture was taken.
"I was here on vacation when my friends and I heard about this summer Bonfire in French Quarters."
He looked up and found Haley lost in long lost memory as she continues. "For the first time, I was away from my family and for a shelter young girl like myself that vacation was the first taste of freedom and so there I was dancing with joy, revelling in my freedom when suddenly I found myself trapped in these intense liquid blue eyes."
Klaus suddenly felt captivated as this beautiful creature glanced deeply into his eyes as she steps closer. "These eyes compelled me without even knowing it, I couldn't look away from them, couldn't concentrate on my surroundings. All I knew is that from now on no matter what happens my life will never be the same."
They were only feet apart still lost in each other eyes. It was Klaus who finally ask the one question he wanted to know but deep down dreaded to know the answer.
"Do you regret loving someone like me?!"
It took Haley less than heartbeat as she cupped his cheek and answer in a strong voice. "No. I could regret many things but loving you was the best thing in my life."
Meanwhile downstairs Vincent and Davina prepared the spell. "You all must be glad I showed up in time," Davina grumbles as she yells. "Incendia!"
The torches lit up and light fell on both past and future bodies as Freya and Bonnie completed the final preparation.
Enzo appeared just in time as he watched his wife taking place with her past version. "I have done my part. Stefan assured me they will reach there before us."
"Good." She kissed her husband while her past version looks away shyly. "Don't be embarrassed Bonnie, it's okay to be happy and in love."
Enzo winked at them before kissing Bonnie's cheek. "All the best love."
With that, he left and Join Vincent and Davina as they raised their hands.
Vincent then instructed them in a clear voice. "Everyone joined your hands and no matter what happened do not let each other go."
He watched as past and future Joined hands one by one and once everyone was ready they began the chant. Sanguinem desimilus! Sanguinem generis faints"
They kept chanting loudly and finally one by one they can hear scream emitting from them. "Endure the pain! Don't break the connection!"
Vincent warns them as Davina continue the chanting.
Enzo watched with worried eyes how much this spell was causing them pain and yet not one of them let each other hand go.
Davina and Vincent were crossing every limit of their power and at that moment Freya did thank their lucky stars that Davina arrived in time otherwise this spell would have killed Vincent and ripped them apart.
Since they were witches spell worked for Freya and Bonnie as they merged with their past version their bodies mingling with them along with their powers.
Enzo felt shocked when he watched his wife consuming her past self. A human couldn't detect it but his wife looked younger and there was a faint glow around her. Same with Freya who looked younger and even more powerful as she and Bonnie rushed towards them and take Vincent and Davina's places as together they continue to chant. Sanguinem desimilus! Sanguinem generis faints"
Davina and Vincent are finally able to collapse as both witches take control. With their newfound power, the spell took up a higher notch as Katherine completed her merge.
She took a huge breath while adjusting to her new strength and senses.
Next was Kol who soon gains control and then rushed towards his wife. "You were brilliant darling!" He compliments his wife while kissing her with double passion than before. "Mmm, I can't wait to test out this new, stronger version of my husband." She moaned seductively against his lips.
Rebekah, Elijah and Fin were next to complete their merge and they can feel thousands of years worth of power mixed with added years of their past lives. 'This is going to be interesting.' Elijah thought as he flexes his palms.
Finally, the longest and hardest was Marcel's merge. It was Harder because both his bodies have unnatural strength.
"Why is it not working?! Rebekah cried out as she watched both Marcel screaming in pain.
Davina stood up as she yells out. "He is ripping apart!
Freya held her husband's hands as she called her family. "We need to channel all our strength!"
Understanding her instructions the witches and vampires alike Joined their hand and as they channel their magic the witches began their chanting louder than ever. Sanguinem desimilus! Sanguinem generis faints"
The wind roared and lightning struck high in the night sky and it was then with a huge blast the spell stopped as they all were thrown back.
The echo of that noise was so loud that Haley and Elena along with everyone else in mansion rushed outside only to find their family getting on their feet.
It was Hope gasp that break this shocking moment as Hope stares transfixed at her brother.
The others finally caught what stunned this child because they're on the middle of the clearing stood Marcel Gerard Mickelson. Twelve feet taller and four times muscular with dark purple eyes and razor-sharp fangs and claws.
They watched mesmerise as he stood stronger then ever and then growls as dawn breaks. The growl of the most powerful creature ever in existence.
