Plans, oh so many plans he had made. His wretched siblings smirked at his disheveled state.

Never had Niklaus Mikaelson been so clueless. Sure, he knew a thousand different ways to torture an enemy or a hundred ways to screw with Katherine's mind but to plan a date was certainly out of his skill set. His sister in particular enjoyed seeing him all sweaty with nerves.

In the end he conceded defeat, he bowed down to the greater wisdom his sister possessed. Her insights on the 'subtle art of dating and wooing' as she called it was surprising insightful.

At first, he had thought to go all out, an extravagant date for the most exquisite woman he knows but then he took a step back and analyzed the woman in question, she did not seem the kind who would love showy things, she is a woman of substance, the only thing showy about were the ridiculous shoes she wore.

So, in the end he decided to take her to a simple dinner. He had a private table set in the clearing in front of the famous Mystic falls. He had his siblings used to play there a thousand years ago and that place was untouched by time. He wanted to start his relation with her in a place that held good memories.

The night of Homecoming (Damon P.O.V)

The plan was set, all that was left was to kill the hybrid so that Elena could live her life peacefully and be rid of her blood bag duties.

Damon and Stefan roamed around the Lockwood mansion making sure to keep out of Klaus's line of sight. Elena was safe at home while Katherine was substituting in for her. Caroline and Tyler remained clueless about the mission as Tyler's trip to the hybrid obedience school had made him Klaus's guard dog and Caroline's inability to keep a secret from a man who gave her attention was pitiful. So as always it was up to Damon to do the hard work. Stefan being compelled to obey Klaus was a pain in the ass but even in the compelled haze Stefan hated Klaus and wanted him dead so he could get rid of the compulsion.

Mikael was an even worse father than Giuseppe but that did not earn him any favors, the Original Hybrid would die tonight.

Seeing Katherine being dragged by the hybrid compelled by Mikael, Damon knew; it is time. What happened in the next few moments was quick, too quick. One moment he was stabbing Klaus in the chest the next moment he was on his back with his throat being squeezed by Elijah Mikaelson of all people. Stefan tried to push Elijah off him but as soon as he touched the suited Original his eyes turned purple and he let out a scream. Both Elijah and Damon turned to see Stefan lying on the floor twitching as if in pain and standing but his head was the light-haired Black brother.

Damon still had his neck in Elijah's hand as he moved towards the door, where the supposed Destroyer, Mikael was kneeling on the ground, his body bound tightly by vines. Standing her father was Rebekah holding a scared looking Katherine and the dark-haired Black brother, who was rotating the white intricate stake in the air, he was making the wooden stake spin like a juggling pin without even using a spell all the while keeping the Papa Original under his control without even uttering a spell. What were these siblings?

He was lost trying to figure the Blacks out that he nearly missed Klaus's presence.

There was a silence as the three Mikaelsons stood seeing their father kneeling on the ground.

'For a thousand years you have hunted me and your own children because your hate for me was greater than your love for your own flesh and blood. You see this, my brothers and sister side by me! We might anger one another but, in the end, all six us know the meaning of always and forever.'

Mikael remained quiet letting Klaus finish. Damon was meanwhile confused. Six? There were more? He said brothers and sister. The damned Hybrid had three more brothers and he thought there were two living and one dead. Seeing the expression on Mikael's face it looked like he had reached the same conclusion.

'Henrik is dead and Finn and Kol would never support you for long.' he hissed out in rage.

'Henrik lives father, he lives and once you are dead all of us will truly breathe. We will no longer look over our shoulders. He will live and we will thrive.' with these last words Klaus grabbed the dancing stake from the air and killed Mikael.

He burned along with the stake but to Damon's surprise the vines that held him did not. The yellow fire then turned deadly purple edged with black. Soon there was nothing of Mikael left except the ashes and the vines that once held him retreated to the ground.

The fair-haired Black brother; Draco produced an urn out of thin air, he waved his hand in the air and the ashes flew into the urn leaving only a black mark on the ground as the only evidence of what had occurred there. Draco then handed the urn to Elijah.

'Let's kill Katherine and call it a day. That way you can cross out the two names your kill list had on for five centuries in a single evening.' Rebekah said breaking the silence.

'Rebekah!' Elijah said in a voice which was both a chide and a warning.'

'Please don't tell me you still care for this harlot? After so much has happened she still tried to kill Nik!'

'Rebekah!' he repeated again, the single word was now just a warning.

'Relax you two.' Klaus said, Damon was in no way an expert in the legend that was Klaus Mikaelson but his siblings were. Something in voice made Elijah relax and Rebekah irritated.

The hybrid swaggered in front of Katherine. His sister let go of the arm she had in her grasp.

'You Katherine have been an irritating footnote of my history and in your quest to evade me you have done all you could but today I set you free.'

Gasps. That was all he could hear. Klaus Mikaelson letting Katherine go free? No one was more surprised than Katherine herself.

'You are letting me go?' She asked her voice uncharacteristically soft.

'Yes. I am. My father is dead, my brothers and sister are free now. I would like for them to live their lives without having to look over their shoulders. You are free but be warned you think of going against me and mine again there will be no crevice so deep that I won't find you. Now go before I change my mind.'

With a last look at the still twitching body of Stefan Katherine Pierce was gone.

Then it was his turn. Damon went incredibly still. The Hybrid looked at him a smirked. He was mocking their pitiful attempt at taking his life. They should have known that the Original Barbie would go running back to her brother. Now they were left with nothing but an Original family sized threat.

Klaus did not say anything. The three Original siblings just stood there as if having a silent conversation. The Black brothers came forward but with a silent pop they vanished.

'What those three? The Blacks? What are they?' Damon asked.

But he did not get any reply but a mocking smile from the Original siblings even Elijah. Then they flashed away leaving Damon with his brother.

Later in the Salvatore Boarding house.

Stefan had woken up but he was still a little shaky. He did not utter a word but kept a tight grip on the glass filled with whiskey.

As Damon recapped the events of the night, he could see the expressions changing on the faces of the occupants of the room. Caroline was angry at not knowing what had been planned but she put off her displeasure to hear his accounts of the evening,

Tonight, had been a disaster, that the Mikaelson siblings showed such loyalty towards Klaus knowing he had killed their mother and lied, that he put daggers in their hearts but still he had his siblings fighting by their sides. He would have been impressed if they had not fucked up their plans. Now Elena was still a living blood bag for the Hybrid and Stefan was under Klaus's compulsion.

'Where was the sister?' Bonnie asked.

Her question made all of them look at her.

'Did you not hear anything Judge Witchy? The Blonde Barbie Original was there. Were you not paying attention?'

Bonnie just glared at him.

'I mean the sister of the Black brothers. What was her name again?'

'Aurora. Her name is Aurora.' Caroline answered.

'How do you know that blondie?' he asked.

'I asked my mother. I was curious plus she has a pretty name, like the Disney princess.' at that he snorted. Leave Caroline to find that interesting.

'I ask again, where was she?' Bonnies questioned again.

'She was not there. It was just her brothers and the Mikaelsons.' he told everyone.

This had Bonnie frown, something was going inside her head that did not make any sense to her.

'Will you just tell us what is on your mind?' Damon asked.

'It's just that whenever we see them it's like the family revolves around her. She and her brothers met us in the old witch house and they did no magic it was all their sister. Even Grams was scared of her and not her brothers, all this makes me believe that she is their family's power hitter. So why, when they had to face the threat that made even the great Klaus Mikaelson scared was, she not present?' Bonnie said.

For that they had to answer.

'Maybe they wanted to keep their sister out of trouble and potential danger. Perhaps they did not want her near Mikael.' Said Elena.

'No….' Bonnie trailed off.

'What now Bonnie?' I asked.

'It's just that, I felt her power. That day in the old witch house I did feel it and the way my Grams was scared makes me think that it is HER who makes the rules between siblings. She is more powerful than her brothers and even more powerful than all the witches in that house.'

'So you mean to say that she did not have any reason to be wary of Mikael?' asked Stefan, speaking for the first time.

'Yes! Exactly.'

'So why did she not come then?' asked Elena.

Bonnie had opened her mouth to answer when she felt it. The wave of power so intoxicating that it made it hard to breathe. As she looked in the room it was only Elena who felt anything as she had closed her eyes gasping for air like her. It was like a huge weight had been put on her chest. Magic moved in the air making Bonnie's magic go haywire. The power rushed through her veins, to her it seemed like there was no end to the magic she could do. She felt powerful, thousand times more powerful than how she felt when she had the power of the hundred witches.

Then suddenly without any warning it was over. The connection she had with the power snapped. It made her whimper and so did Elena.

Caroline held her in her arms while Damon held Elena.

'What was that?' Alaric asked.

All of them looked at Bonnie for an explanation.

'Magic is your preview Bonnie. What was that?' Alaric asked.

'I don't know.' She replied.

'Do you mean when you say that you don't know?' asked Damon.

'It means that I don't know Damon. I tried, I tried to reach the magic but I couldn't it was so powerful I just don't know where it came from and why it affected Elena she shouldn't have been affected she's not a witch. But I can tell you one thing, the magic that was done right now it is not, it is nothing that I've ever heard of.'

'What do you think was being done?' asked Damon.

'Something the witches are told never to interfere with something which always has a cost something which we know already hurt us before. Death magic. Someone was doing magic that involved death and the soul and there's only one person I can think of you can do this well who I think is capable enough Aurora Black.'

'What the hell are these Blacks up to?.' Asked Damon.
