Hi friends, I'm so sorry for the late update. But it won't happen again, hopefully. I did what I said I would do in this chapter. So, enjoy. Please don't forget to leave your reviews.

The day has finally arrived.

Niklaus was walking with Arabelle and Nadia when he received the phone call. He smirked when he saw the caller ID on the screen.

"Who is it?" Arabelle asked.

"Stefan" he said.

Arabelle gave him a slight nod before flashing off with Nadia, so that Stefan won't hear even their breathing.

Niklaus pressed the green button. "Portland is fantastic once you can get over all the whiney music and healthy-looking people. It's literally a breeding ground for werewolves." He had to say this even though he made a quick trip to Portland and turned those werewolves into his hybrids a week ago with Nadia and Arabelle. But to Stefan he was still in Portland.

"Your father's dead." Stefan said.

It took a couple of minutes for Niklaus to digest what he said. But Arabelle has warned him that they were still working on taking him down. So he wouldn't trust a word coming out of Stefan's mouth even though he was compelled to tell him only the truth.

"What did you say to me?" Niklaus asked playing along. Let them think that he actually believed the bluff of Scooby-gang.

"Oh, my mistake. Not your actual father, and not dead. Mikael. Daggered." Stefan said, so sure of himself that he could lie to the Original Hybrid. "What do you want me to do with the body?"

Niklaus let a small smile grace his lips. "Well, first, I want you to explain to me exactly what happened."

"All right, we'll say that Mikael followed Elena in here. He tried to grab her so he could use her as bait." Stefan said.

"And you, what, vervained him?" Niklaus asked.

"No, we vervained him. The guy's an original. Make it realistic." Stefan said. "Ok. Fine. We vervained him. And in the process discovered that he had a dagger. Which he planned to use on Rebekah. But instead we drove it through his heart."

Niklaus has to make it little more realistic. "I want to see him. I want to see his rotting body for myself."

"Well, he's here. Come by whenever." Stefan said nonchalantly.

"Are you telling the truth Stefan?" Niklaus asked.

"It is. I saw it with my own eyes."

"I want to talk to Rebekah." Now he got to find out if his dear little sister was in leagues with the Devil himself.

"That's not a problem. She's right here." Stefan said.

"Hello, Nik" Rebekah greeted him, which instantly alerted him that Rebekah was indeed with their every move. Helping them to take him down. Well, two can play that game.

"Rebekah, love. What's this I hear about Mikael's tragic run-in with a dagger?" Niklaus asked, checking his words not to mix up with his fury.

"It's true. He's finally out of our lives for good. I miss you. I'm miserable here." Rebekah whined.

"I will be home soon" Niklaus said.

"Good. I'll see you then, brother." Rebekah said as he cut the call.

Niklaus smirked. "You can come now, Belle"

Arabelle and Nadia were beside him the next moment. She looked at him questioningly.

"Mikael is here. The Scooby-gang is teaming with him to kill me. And to top that all, Rebekah is with them" Niklaus said.

Arabelle's face twisted in fury, while Nadia frowned with disgust.

"What are going to do?" Arabelle asked.

"What you said we do. We need a plan. One that only includes us." Niklaus said, his brain already working with thousand plans.

"Well, whatever it is, say soon" Nadia said, "I have to dress nice. I am going to meet my grandfather"

Niklaus rolled his eyes and started telling his plans.

Caroline was furious as she parked her car in the Lockwood driveway. She worked so hard in organising and decorating the school for the homecoming, only for the gym to be flooded. Something in the back of her mind said that it was no accident.

But Tyler stepped in and offered to move the dance to his home. So Caroline called Elena to let her know about the change of plans. As she neared the house, the sound of music filled her ears.

"How did he plan a better party than me so fast?" She asked herself. "Is that a band outside? This is weird. Where is Tyler?"

She went searching for him, with no much luck. Suddenly someone was talking in the microphone.

"Good evening everyone!"

And it was Klaus.

"I want to thank you all for being here with me to celebrate."

What?

"It's been a long time coming."

After searching for a long time, she came across Matt and Elena. "Hey, Klaus is here."

"What?" Elena said.

"Yeah, apparently our sired hybrid friend Tyler thought it'd be ok to let his "master" throw a party." Caroline said.

"Well, I expected more surprise." Matt said.

"I've learned not to be surprised by anything Klaus does. I'm going to go find Bonnie." Elena said and more or less ran from the spot.

So so weird.

Damon was nursing his favourite drink as Mikael showed him the white oak stake, the only weapon that could kill an original. His thought immediately went to Arabelle.

"Did my daughter go to the dance?" Mikael asked.

"By daughter you mean Rebekah or Arabelle?" Damon asked, curious that Mikael never breathed a word about the youngest original.

"Ah! You met her as well" Mikael said, "Still running errand for the abomination, I guess"

Damon remained silent.

"Arabelle is very protective of Niklaus, so once I take him down, I should go for her. Before she comes for me." Mikael said nonchalantly.

Damon's fingers tightened around the glass as he glared at Mikael's back. He won't be going after Arabelle. Because once Mikael killed Klaus, he would kill Mikael.

Damon started have second thoughts about awakening this monster. What father hunts down his own children. And a nagging feeling in his chest reminded him that Arabelle would hate him forever for what he was going to do to her brother.

Stefan walked in just then, "Change in plans. Klaus is back. He's at the Lockwoods. And he wants your body delivered to his doorstep."

"I'm afraid he's in for a colossal disappointment." Mikael said.

"Well, he's certainly not going to come here. I hope your plan didn't depend on that." Stefan said.

"Didn't depend on that." Damon said.

"But you do have a plan. Right?" Stefan asked.

"Oh, yeah. We got a plan, right? It just doesn't involve you." Damon replied.

Mikael was suddenly by Stefan side, draining him of his blood. Drinking it like a ripper. Well, not exactly.

Damon watched as Stefan fell weak and unconscious on the floor. Disgusting. "Couldn't just break his neck?"

Mikael casually wiped his mouth with a white handkerchief. "It certainly occurred to me."

Arabelle was talking with Nadia and Niklaus when the hybrid Mindy came toward them.

"You have a visitor" she said.

"Well, tell my visitor that I am busy here" Niklaus said.

"He said his name is Mikael" Mindy said as if Niklaus didn't say anything.

Arabelle was shocked but they knew this was going to happen. She looked at the girl closely. She stood still as if as was in a trance.

"Niklaus" Arabelle said, and motioned him and Nadia to step near her. "She is compelled by Mikael. Be careful, he might have done the same to all the hybrids."

Niklaus nodded. "Then we mustn't keep him waiting." He said to Mindy. "Move everyone out back. I'm going to have a little chat with my dad." He said. As they passed another hybrid, he said, "Tony, you know what to do"

As soon as they reached the foyer, they could see Mikael, standing just outside the door. "Hello Niklaus"

Arabelle and Nadia stayed behind out of Mikael's sight after Niklaus gave them a cold glare.

"Hello, Mikael. Won't you come in? Oh, that's right. I forgot. You can't" Niklaus said.

"Or you can come outside if you want" Mikael replied. "Come out and face me Niklaus"

Niklaus stayed inside.

"Or she dies" Mikael said.

Uh...

"Go ahead. Kill her" Niklaus said.

"No Klaus. He'll do it" She could hear Elena's voice.

"If she dies, this lot will be the last of your abominations." Mikael said.

Oh no.

"I don't need them." Niklaus said as normally as he could, but Arabelle could hear the pain in those words. "I just need to be rid of you."

"To what end, Niklaus? So you can live forever with no one at your side? Nobody cares about you anymore, boy! Who do you have other than those whose loyalty you've forced? No one. No one." Mikael mocked him.

Arabelle had had enough. "He has me father"

"And me as well" Nadia said from his other side.

"Arabelle" Mikael said, "And who are you?"

Oh boy!

"Oh! Where are my manners?" Nadia said. "Hello, grandfather! I am your grand-daughter, Nadia Mikaelson"

Mikael looked confused, but it seemed that he chose to ignore her. He looked at Arabelle, "Still under your brother's shadow, I see"

But before she could say anything, Niklaus said, "A tree doesn't need a shadow, father. Arabelle is not under my shadow."

Arabelle knew she could not let him talk anymore. He would only hurt her brother. But he started again.

"Come outside, you little coward. Or I kill her"

"My whole life you've underestimated me. If you kill her, you lose your leverage. So go ahead. Go on. Kill her. Come on, old man. Kill her." Niklaus yelled in the end.

"Your impulse, Niklaus. It has and will forever be the one thing that keeps you from truly being great." Mikael said, starting his mocking again.

And he stabbed Elena.

All of a sudden Niklaus was on the floor, with someone over him. Which turned out to be a Damon Salvatore, who stabbed her brother in his stomach with a white oak stake. Within seconds there was another blur, knocking down Damon. And that was Stefan Salvatore.

They heard an explosion outside. Arabelle strained her ears to hear that it was Katerina and not Elena who was the leverage of Mikael.

She could see the white oak stake on the floor. Now or never. Making up her mind, she flashed toward the stake and picked it up. Damon was still down by Stefan. She saw Niklaus standing up slowly.

She gave a slight nod toward Niklaus and Nadia and turned toward their father, who was little distracted by Katerina's action.

Arabelle narrowed her eyes slightly, concentrating on Mikael's brain cells. Within seconds Mikael fell on the floor clutching his head. Niklaus and Nadia flashed toward him, keeping him locked on either side.

Arabelle walked toward her father, still burning his brain cells. "Goodbye, Father" She said, "Rot in Hell" And she drove the white oak stake right through his heart.

Niklaus and Nadia left his side, still looking at the now burning body of the Original Vampire.

Tomorrow they shall reunite the family. Finally they were going to be a family. A whole family.

Hope you liked it. Until next time...
