Brooklyn woke up without Klaus by her side. She looked on her stand by her bed and saw a note from Klaus, grabbing it. She read the note that Klaus went to Italy to find a sword from the Five. Then Brooklyn sighed as then she grabbed her phone and called Klaus, but he didn't pick up, so she left a voicemail. "Nik, I really don't like that you left without me our daughter! Hell, what do I explain to Rose, our daughter, who really loves you! And who doesn't want to be without you, Nik. I will have to explain that you had to leave us, without a proper goodbye. So you better be bring something back for and that you never leave like that again or er will be hell to pay for!" Then she ended the call and went out bed.
Brooklyn walked to her closet and grabbed some clothes. Then she changed herself and went to her daughter room. She opened to door and walked into the room and wakes up Rose. "Rose it's time to wake up."
Rose wakes up. "Mommy."
Brooklyn looked at her daughter. "Good morning, sweetie."
"Good morning, mommy." Rose told her mother.
Then Brooklyn walked over to Rose's closet and grabbed some clothes for her. Then she walked back to her daughter. "Here, Rose."
"Thanks, mommy." Rose grabbed her clothes.
When Rose was fully changed her clothes, she and her mother Brooklyn went downstairs for breakfast. That was when Rose noticed that her father wasn't there, so she asked to her mother. "Where is daddy?"
Brooklyn froze, not really knowing how to tell her daughter. Then she sighed heavily as she fined the right words to say. "Daddy had to leave, he found something very interesting that he wanted to find."
Rose looked at her mother. "What is he going to find?"
"A sword." Brooklyn replied to her daughter. "A beautiful sword."
"Wow, a sword, mommy." Rose smiled at her mother, who began with cooking.
"Yes, sweetie." Brooklyn smiled as she baked eggs. "Daddy will be back soon."
Rose smiled. "Okay, mommy."
Sometime later, Brooklyn was done with cooking the eggs and gave to Rose on a plate. "Here, sweetie."
"Thank you, mommy." Rose told her as she began to eat.
Then, Brooklyn came next to her and began to eat as well.
Later that day, Brooklyn had brought Rose to school as then she had text from Elena that their brother was in the grill with Conner and that they were by Tyler house to make a plan to get him back. She went quickly to Tyler's house, to help to make a plan with them, she didn't care if they didn't want their help, and they could go to hell!
When she arrived, she could clearly hear Damon talking. "So we each take a different entrance, hit him at the same time."
Then she also saw Stefan walking into the room as then Elena called. "Stefan." Then she saw also Brooklyn. "Sis." She hugged first Stefan as then she walked over her big sister, she needed her right now, despite that she with Klaus, she hugged her as well as Brooklyn hugged her little sister back.
"Where the hell have you been?" Damon looked at Stefan.
"Coming up with a plan." Stefan replied to him.
Then Damon looked at Brooklyn. "We don't need you."
Brooklyn's eyes turned yellow. "I don't care, my sister needs me."
"I need her, Damon." Elena told him as he rolled with his eyes.
Brooklyn smiled. "See, my sister needs me."
"Children." Stefan rolled with eyes as both Brooklyn and Damon looked at him scoffed.
Then Damon told him. "I rip Connor's heart out and feed it to him." as they went back on track for what happening in the grill.
"That's not a plan." Stefan protested. "Connor has Jeremy and who knows how many hostages."
"Hence the open heart surgery." Damon argued.
"Damon's right." Elena joined in the argument. "He's not gonna be able to take all of us."
Brooklyn looked at them. "Well, Elena has a point."
"I called in the hybrids to help too." Tyler told them all.
Just then Caroline walked into the room. "My mom put squad cars blocking the streets. They're saying it's a faulty gas main. We're good to go."
"Good." Brooklyn nodded to her.
"Great." Damon agreed. "No cops, no witnesses, no reason to wait around."
"Hold on." Stefan protested. "You're not all going."
"He shot me nine times." Tyler comment. "If we're killing him, I want in."
"He's got Jeremy. I'm going." Elena told him.
"As am I." Brooklyn stood next to Elena.
"Nobody's going anywhere until I figure out what we're walking into." Stefan told them all.
"Until you figure it out?" Damon demanded. "Is that where you've been, out buying bossy pants?"
"He's known for traps." Stefan replied to him. "We'd be dumb to walk into one especially if he has werewolf venom."
"Does he?" Elena asked to him.
"He's had it before." Stefan replied to her.
"Fine. Fine." Damon told him. "You wanna take some time to do recon? You get one hour. But we're gonna need extra help, so where's the wicked witch of the west?"
"She can't do magic." Caroline remembered them.
"Really? Call her." Damon told her. "Tell her Jeremy's life is in danger. Maybe that will bring her out of retirement."
Later, Damon, Elena and Brooklyn were in Alaric's house as Elena looked outside, she saw that Stefan was talking to someone. "Who is he talking to?"
"Bonnie, hopefully." Damon suggested. "Maybe she's decided to make herself useful again." Then Damon grabbed a map and laid it on the table.
"What is that?" Brooklyn asked as she and Elena looked at the map.
"It's our way in." Damon replied to her. "Courtesy of Alaric's interest in the Mystic Falls Underground Railroad."
"Tunnels." Brooklyn noticed.
"Like the ones in the Lockwood cellar." Elena added.
"Yep." Damon comment.
Just then Elena phone started to ring, she grabbed it out of her bag and answered the call as she placed it on the table. "What did you find out?"
"I could only make out voices." Stefan replied to her.
"How many hostages?" Brooklyn asked to him.
"Three. But Elena, Brooklyn, its Matt and April Young."
"What?" Elena asked in shock.
"Oh." Brooklyn just shook her head.
"Those two idiots are like danger magnets." Damon comment.
"We have to get them out of there." Elena panicked a little.
"We will, sis." Brooklyn tried to reassure her.
"I need more time." Stefan told to them.
"The clock's ticking, brother." Damon comment.
"I could do without the color commentary." Stefan told him as then he hang up.
"I'm going in these tunnels." Elena decided.
"No, you're not." Damon held her up. "This guy doesn't know you're a vampire. Keep it that way."
"That's it." Elena came up with an idea. "I can offer to trade myself for the hostages."
"And I will go with you." Brooklyn told to her sister.
"No. Best case scenario is, now you're a hostage. Worst case scenario, he figures you out, kills you on the spot." Damon looked at Elena as then he looked at Brooklyn. "I'm pretty sure that, he already knows about you."
"Don't treat me like a child, I'm not a child, even Nik doesn't treat me like that." Brooklyn hissed.
"Stop treating me like I can't handle myself." Elena looked at Damon in disbelieve. "Alaric trained me. And I've been practicing with Stefan."
"So what? Now you're gonna take on a professional killer?" Damon pointed a weapon at Elena. "Bang, you're dead. Now what?"
Elena used her vampire speed to get Damon on the bed as then she grabbed the weapon and pointed at him. "Head shot's no good, it has to be the heart. So now you're dead."
"For someone that doesn't wanna be like me you sure are good at it." Damon comment.
"My brother and my sister are the only things that's holding me together right now, Damon." Elena told him. "If anything happens to him…"
"We'll get him out. I promise." Damon promised her.
A little while later, Elena was looking outside again as Damon told her. "Stefan's on his way. This'll be over soon."
"Will it?" Elena told to him as Brooklyn with her eyes. "I mean, haven't we already been here before with Jeremy? Isn't this why we sent him to Denver?"
"We'll get him out of this and compel him to the Bahamas." Damon comment. "Maybe he'll find an island girl."
Just then Stefan walked into the room as he asked to them. "Did you find the tunnel map?"
"Got it." Damon held his phone up. "It was in his weapons drawer with seven stakes some weird MacGyver crossbow and the last vervain in Mystic Falls. So how about we get this party started?"
"Not yet. Klaus is sending one of his men." Stefan explained. "He'll take the front. You and I, the tunnels."
"Since when do we team up with Klaus and the Lollipop Guild?" Damon asked as Brooklyn face palmed.
"Connor has werewolf venom." Stefan looked at him. "We need someone to draw his fire. Hybrids are immune, they're our best bet."
"How are you sure he has werewolf venom?" Damon asked. "Why is Klaus involved, Stefan?"
"Stop being paranoid, Damon." Stefan countered.
"Start telling the truth, Stefan." Damon argued. "Why is Klaus involved? Did he compel you?"
"This is the best way to get everyone out." Stefan avoided the question.
"What is with you two?" Brooklyn asked annoyed.
"We're wasting time." Elena agreed with her sister.
"Know what? She's right." Damon told them. "Screw your plan. I'll kill Connor myself."
Then out of nowhere Stefan vervained Damon and laid him on the couch as Elena asked to him. "Stefan, why are you doing this?"
"Damon had the right idea with the tunnels." Stefan searched for Damon's phone as then she found it and put his phone and his own phone together, to get the picture to his phone and delete it on Damon's phone. "But I'm not gonna go in there if I can't count on him to do it my way."
"If you can't count on him? You just vervained him." Elena countered.
"Sometimes I wonder who crazier, you or Damon." Brooklyn comment.
"Think he cares about April or Matt?" Stefan tossed Damon's phone on the couch. "He'll get Jeremy out and go after Connor no matter who gets hurt."
"I'm coming with you." Elena told him.
And I as well, it's our brother." Brooklyn countered.
"You're not." Stefan looked at the girls.
"You need our help." Elena glanced at her sister.
"What if Connor attacks and you have to defend yourself?" Stefan asked to Elena. "What if you kill him? Guilt would wreck you."
"You don't think I'm afraid of that?" Elena countered. "Of course I am. Stefan, I'm barely holding it together. If Jeremy gets hurt…" Brooklyn nodded to her sister, in agreement.
"I'll get Jeremy out, okay? I promise you. Listen to me." Stefan told to Elena softly. "This is the most important thing that I have ever asked you to do. I just need you to trust me. Please." Then they kissed as then Stefan pulled away and used his vampire speed to get away from there.
Sometime later, they heard an explosion as Elena called to Stefan. "Stefan, call me. There was an explosion at the Grill, I need to know what's happening." Then Damon started to wake up as Elena rushed over to him. "Damon? Hey, can you get up?
"Ugh. Where's Stefan?" Damon muttered. "I'm gonna kill him." Then he held his arm in the air as it touched the sun light, he cried out in pain. "Ow."
Brooklyn rolled with her eyes. "Ironic." She muttered to herself.
"He took your ring? Why would he do that?" Elena asked to him.
"Ugh." Damon rolled of the couch. "Because he's playing us. All this stalling, getting hybrids, taking my ring." Then he sat up in the shadow, by the couch. "Add it up. He made a deal with Klaus or he's compelled."
"Then I need to get in there." Elena told him.
"No, Elena." Damon warned her. "This guy's dangerous."
"So am I, Damon." Elena told him angry.
"Married couple." Brooklyn muttered.
"Then you need to be smart." Damon told her. "He doesn't know you're a vampire. You get as close as you can you kill him."
Elena was to door out as Brooklyn told Damon. "I will go after her."
He nodded to her. "Yeah, Yeah."
Then she left as well.
Elena and Brooklyn arrived at the grill as they hear Stefan saying. "I can give you the truth. Just put down the gun and let Jeremy go."
Then they stormed in the grill as Elena called to Connor. "Please… Don't hurt him."
"You come any closer, he's dead." Connor had his gun pointed at Jeremy.
"Elena, Brooklyn, get out of here." Jeremy called to his sisters as he was standing on a bomb.
"He's the only family that we have left." Brooklyn told to Connor.
"Just… Just let him go." Elena added.
"You hear that?" Connor called to Stefan. "Your girl and her sister are watching. I will shoot the boy right in front of them." he pointed still on Jeremy. "On the count of three! One… two…"
Then Stefan decided in that moment to come out of hiding with his hands up in surrender. Connor pointed the gun at him instead on Jeremy as Elena rushed to Connor using her vampire speed, but he shot at Jeremy, hitting him in the stomach which caused him to lose balance on the mat he was standing on. Then Stefan came over to Jeremy and grabbed, causing the bomb going off.
Brooklyn went over to Jeremy. "Jeremy?" She looked at him, seeing he was losing a lot of blood. In that moment Stefan helped Elena, then Stefan was gone with Connor.
Elena rushed over to Brooklyn and Jeremy and gave her brother her blood to heal him. Then she saw the blood in his shirt and turned around. "I'm sorry, I…"
"It's okay." Jeremy reassured her. "You don't have to hide it. I know you're not gonna hurt me."
"How did this happen, Jer? Why did Connor come after you?" Elena asked, turning to look at him.
"He said I was like him because I could see his tattoo." He replied to her.
"His what?" Elena asked confused.
"His Hunter's Mark." Jeremy replied, explaining. "It's invisible to everyone but me. Stefan and Damon didn't tell you about it?"
"No. Wait, who else knows about this?" Elena looked at him.
"Well, that's the thing." Jeremy looked back at her. "I don't even know. Apparently, I was with Connor all day yesterday but I can't remember. Someone compelled me."
"Idiots." Brooklyn muttered, hoping no one heard her.
"I think I know who." Elena told her brother standing up.
"I'm gonna kill the guy." Brooklyn looked at her sister. "Nobody comes at our brother." Elena nodded to her.
Brooklyn and Elena find Connor in the tunnels, Elena used her vampire speed to get to Connor and bit him in the neck. "Stay the hell away from our brother." Brooklyn went over to them as well, seeing that he sat on the ground.
"Look at you." Connor mocked. "So worried about your brother. You're the biggest monster he'll ever meet." Then he staked her as Brooklyn grabbed and slammed him into the wall.
Elena pulled the stake out and went to her sister and Connor. "You missed."
"Nobody comes at my family." Brooklyn threatened him, flashing her eyes yellow. "Nobody." The sisters moved as one as they killed Connor, snapping his neck. Then his body fell on the ground.
Brooklyn had received at text that Diana had picked up Rose as they were in the woods. Elena insisted that she wanted to bury him, so Brooklyn helped her. Then Stefan and Damon approached to them.
"Elena." Stefan told her softly.
"I need to bury him. I killed him. I should I should bury him." Elena keeps digging.
"We killed him." Brooklyn muttered to her as the boys hear her, looking at her.
"Hey, hey, come on…" Stefan tried to talk to Elena.
"Don't! I heard you talking to him." Elena told to him angry. "Making some secret deal with Klaus? You said you were gonna protect Jeremy keep me from this. You said that I could trust you, Stefan."
"Elena, it's complicated." Damon told her.
"No, it's not complicated, Damon. You wanna know why?" Elena looked at him. "Because he's dead now. You told me to kill him. So I did."
"She doesn't need you two babbling over her, she needs her family." Brooklyn told the boys.
"That you left." Damon scoffed.
"She was willing to forgive me, until you two persuade not too." She pointed at the boys.
Then in the end it penetrated Elena. "Oh. I… I killed someone… I killed someone." She started crying again.
"Shh." Brooklyn took her in her arms as then she looked at the boys, flashing her eyes yellow. "Leave us." They immediately leave them alone.
