Caroline's P.O.V
It was just like any other day at school except for us it wasn't. With full moon so close our protection squad is on high alert.
Stefan and Ric are both guarding us inside while Damon and Enzo are guarding us outside.
As soon bell rang signalling end of day both Bonnie and I sigh in relief and went outside to see Stefan and Elena walking towards us at corridor. ''Hey, Ready to head out?" Stefan asks us and all three of us followed him.
Elena and Bonnie soon found their boyfriends outside who led them to their cars while Stefan and I make way towards his.
''So full moon is tomorrow? are we prepared for everything? " I ask him as soon he starts his car.
''Yeah we have every ingredient now so all its left is up to Elijah to convince his siblings specially Klaus."
He turned to stare at me and saw me smiling. ''What?"
I ran my fingers on his head teasingly messing his perfect hairstyle. ''It's so nice of you leaving hard job for Elijah." I teased him again and he grab my hand and kiss it . ''Well it's his brother's business so naturally he got hard job of us all, although you are forgetting Bennett's and Martin's witches has already done the most impossible job off us all, so at least Elijah can do his part."
I nodded my head as my mind wander off to what witches did to attain werewolf for ritual.
Still lost in deep thought when my phone ring signalling call from unknown number.
''Hello?" I listened to women voice other end and what she said made my whole body tremble in fear. ''What! Okay I will be there."
I hang up and looked at Stefan who looked alarm seeing tears in my eyes. ''Stefan my mom!'' I cried and felt Stefan stopping his car. ''Its okay I heard what she said." he wipes tears from my eyes.
''She is in hospital, they says it's animal attack." And then thought came into my mind. ''You don't think it's him?" I asked him in horror.
His face got hard as he rushed us towards hospital while instructing me to call our friends.
The second we arrived at hospital I all but rushed to find my mother. ''Where is Liz Forbes." I screamed at receptionist who told me she is in I.C.U
''Doctor how is my mom?" I asked doctor who was standing outside. ''It was brutal attack and her neck is severely injured while she loss so much blood that we have to do blood transfusion to save her. Thankfully She is out of danger and will recover in week."
I felt Stefan's arms around me as he comfort me. ''Can we see her?" Stefan asked doctor who shake his head. ''She is unconscious but if her daughter wants she can see her alone for few minutes."
I nodded my head and turned around to see Stefan. ''I will be right back." He touched my cheeks and kissed my forehead. ''I will be waiting for you out here."
With that I went inside and closed door behind me. Seeing my mom unconscious and covered in tube makes me so scared, my mom always strong sheriff of Mystic Falls is now in hospital fighting to stay alive.
I went closer to sit beside her and lightly touched her hand and found relief in her warmth.
''Wake up mommy.'' I begged bursting in tears. 'Please for me open your eyes." But her eyes remain shut and after a while I knew it's time to go.
Kissing her hand I stood up and turned around only to find someone standing in shadows.
''Who is there?" I ask while trying to inch towards door but then a familiar deep melodious but sinister voice stopped me from moving.
''You know whenever someone saw me for very first time they always get struck by my charismatic personality yet what intrigues me when for first time ever a human felt fear and tremors in my presence, as if they know what evil stand in front of them."
Staring at my horrified face Klaus stepped forward, smiling at me as if he just not trapped me by hurting my mother.
''You did this!" it was not question to which his smile widen. ''You presume correctly, now only one puzzle left to solve in this mystery." He scratched his chin before his eyes twinkle in excitement.
''You know who I am love, Hence your accurate response to my presence."
He was done playing games and so have I. ''What do you want Klaus?"
In instant his smile disappear replaced by rage. "I want my old friend to return what he stolen from me and what's better way to motivate him then stealing love of his life dear Caroline."
Hearing that I make dash towards door but he zoomed forward in front of me while blowing some sort of grey powder at my face, that spread darkness in front of my eyes as I loose consciousness.

Elijah's P.O.V
Stepping inside my house I saw various bodies scattered around. ''What is this!" At my voice the culprits of this mess stared at me without any remorse. ''Relax Elijah." Kol wipe blood from his mouth. "we needed fresh blood to sustain centuries of hunger. Your contain blood in those bags kind of contraception won't do us any good."
Shaking my head I pushed body aside and make my way towards my room only to halt when my phone rang. ''Yes Damon?" after hearing his threatening screams I shake my head.
''Don't do anything stupid and try to calm your brother, I will bring you Miss Forbes alive, you have my word."
With that I close my phone and stared at my siblings. ''We need to leave before our brother do something to mess everything up."
As expected none of them move. ''Why should we help you? Just to get dagger on our back from that bastard? " Fin asked in distaste but his words filled me with rage.
''Don't call him bastard, he is our brother and you can't deny it even in your rage!" I told them calmly but they still detect anger in my voice.
''Besides he took someone dear to Stefan Salvatore and if he kills her than our fate will be in jeopardy." I tried to explain but my sister scoff at my words.
'' Why do I care for some girl, maybe Its better she dies then I can rekindle my relationship with Stefan." She seems excited at this prospect but I laugh at her silliness.
'' My naive little sister, your silly infatuation with Stefan Salvatore is nothing compared to love I saw he shared with that over these past few weeks. He fought life and death just to have her and trust me nothing in this world is strong enough to compete with that kind of love."
I know I hit her hard with my words, my sister no matter what her fault will never sabotage true love.
Sighing she pulled both Kol and Fin to their feet and stared at me seriously. ''What do you want?" at this smile form on my face. '' Its time Klaus have family reunion."
Taking my phone out I called Jonas Martin . ''It's me, I want you to bring our dear guest to my house, there is someone I want him to meet ." with that I hang up ready to reunite my family.

Outside of Mystic falls there were few Mansions surrounded by woods.
In one of these Mansions there was an abandoned one for many years but recently it's seem that someone is residing there.
Few people always stood outside while owner of this house only left this place when he wants to.
Today for first time he brings guest or more accurately carried unconscious girl inside his Mansion.
His guards didn't even dare to look to meet his eyes as he passed them, they love their life enough to stare at death itself in form of their master.
Unknown to any of them death came swiftly at night but in form of four people who ripped out their heart from their bodies bringing them quick death.
Wiping blood with handkerchief, leader of that group stepped inside followed by others.
The second they crossed thresholds they were ambushed by more vampires but in few minutes these fool's laid dead on their feet's .
They stepped over these lifeless bodies without even scratch on their bodies or tear on their clothes.
''Are you done playing games!" Elijah voice echoed through walls. ''Or do you want to bring more players to their deaths?"
Soon he got his answer when searing pain hit their brain as if every nerves vessels is popping.
''Damn it Nick!" Rebecca screamed while holding her head.
In front of them a bulky man and women stepped forward chanting spell to bring them more searing pain.
Seeing source of their pain the eldest brother used his whole strength and rushed towards warlock snapping his neck in swift motion. The spell break and his sibling sigh in relief. ''Good thinking Fin." Kol compliment him , to which he ignored and moved towards witch but found his path blocked by his brother.
''Don't harm witch Fin." Elijah grabs witch's hand. ''I promise your father to deliver you safely Greta."
The witch merely stare at him and he heard familiar voice behind him. ''My poor brother, always saving those who don't want to be saved ."
He turned around and saw his brother casually leaning against pillar. ''Nicklaus." Klaus smiled and walked forward facing his family. ''Hello family."
He impressively stared at pile of dead bodies. ''Impressive show I must admit, although it's sad you killed Maddox, he really served me well." He shrugged and stepped over dead warlock body. ''Anyhow let's have drink shell we , Greta dear bring best whisky you can find, after all it rare occasions when we have family reunion."
He saw Fin, Kol growled at him while Rebecca looked disgusted but Elijah still ever remain calm who nod his head. ''Very well let's talk like civil people while we still can."
Everyone went toward couch and sat down far from each other.
''So tell me Elijah what is reason behind this sudden family gathering, specially releasing our siblings from daggers curse?"
Kol face flare in rage. ''You pathetic scum!" he roar and was about to lung when his sister held him back. ''No, don't let him rile you."
She threw withering look at Klaus. ''Go to hell Nick." He merely give taunting laugh. ''After you sister." Making all of them ready to tear each other apart.
''Enough!" at Elijah's booming voice everyone stay still even Klaus who rarely see his brother loose his composer.
''Great, now Nicklaus first I want you to release Miss Forbes, I assume she is somewhere here in your captivity?" He looked around at Mansion before meeting amuse eyes of his brother.
''Ah !Lovely Caroline is sleeping peacefully at this moment under influence of sleeping ash, although quite intriguing creature she is, she catch my eyes for the very first moment and now she brings four originals to rescue her. Tell me why she is so important? Is it because of her love affair with certain Salvatore? " he threw last words towards his sister directions making her wish to scratch that smirk of his face.
''Miss Forbes is important I won't deny." Elijah revert his attention toward him. ''But we are here to discuss far more complicated yet important matter."
This got Klaus interest. ''What complicated yet important matter you want to discuss? I thought you lot will fled as soon I saw those empty coffins, which reminds me how did you found about it at first place?"
Elijah can see not only interest but also curiosity behind his eyes, After all it's not rarity when someone discovered his dark secrets.
''I am glad you ask, I got every information regarding to you from your once old friend." Shocked look appear on his brother's face. ''Who are you referring too?"
Bracing himself he answered him. ''Stefan Salvatore."
A look of disbelief came over his face. ''You are lying, I compel him in twenties and never sought him out after that, so it's impossible for him to remember anything from our past."
He saw look of understanding passed between his siblings as if they knew something he don't which agitate him further . ''What?" he almost sound like brat who doesn't like secrets kept from him.
At this point Greta enter carrying their drinks. ''Serve him first dear." Elijah pointed towards Klaus. ''You will need it after you hear what I am about to tell you."
So Elijah start telling Klaus everything that happened since he met Salvatore's and everything Stefan told him regarding their future even bits of what Stefan heard and knew after they moved to New Orleans from that version of time plus what Bennett witch learns from Anaya's spirit.
''So you see, we don't want to harm you instead we want to insure that our past won't repeat in same destructive pattern as it does from where Stefan Salvatore came from." He tried to reason with him as gently as he can.
After that Klaus was unnaturally quiet still in deep thought, he every few seconds keep staring each of his siblings face as if searching any kind of lie or treachery on their face.
''So even if I consider this whole future nonsense true, why you all presume I agree with you lot?" he asks them in challenging voice . ''After all I have every ingredient I need to break my curse.I have witch, werewolf and I will get moon stone in exchange of lovely Caroline, also I will capture any vampire tomorrow or more accurately Katrina's long lost daughter Nadia Petrova for perfect revenge for her betrayal."
He gave him wicked smile. ''So tell me dear brother why I listen to you and abandoned years of my hard work?''
To his utter surprise he just said one word. "Family."
He stand up and made his way towards his brother. ''For family Nicklaus, breaking this curse my way you won't only get rid of that curse but you also will get family that you desperately desired your whole life."
He can see Klaus resolve breaking through his hard exterior but menace return in his eyes. ''Family? Really Elijah? That is not tempting offer at all my brother , I mean besides you I am pretty sure these three hate me and besides why I pick family of hateful members over to my plan of siring faithful hybrids."
He can see his sibling tense up but not Elijah who took his phone out. ''Bring him in." He just said before turning to face Klaus with smile on his face.
''How about I sweeten this deal, you will have your family, a prosper future and something that you wanted more than anything but never in million dreams thought you can ever get."
Still smiling he walked away towards door, unable to contain his curiosity , Klaus stood up and followed his brother who was standing at threshold looking at deserted road.
''What are you staring at?" he heard his brother's voice and in answer he pointed toward car that is coming towards them.
The car stopped and two men get out, first man he realized as Jonas Martin but another man looked vaguely familiar. ''Go Klaus take good look at my offer."
Klaus threw weary look at his brother before stepping down to see that man more closely.
He tried to rack his brains and after few minutes an old memory came in his mind. He started at man whose eyes and facial features resembles exactly like his were filled with emotions.
Staggering back from him Klaus shake his head in denial and disbelief. ''No! No! That's impossible, you died thousands of years ago! " he screamed in disbelief.
Stepping cautiously the man touched his shoulder. ''You are right I did died but Martin use up all his power to bring me back from other side for this ritual."
Seeing shock and disbelief still etched on Klaus face he tried again. ''Its true Nicklaus, it's me Ansel your father."
For first time in his lifetime words escaped as father and son stare at each other.
Finally Klaus lift his face to see Elijah and his other siblings who were standing few feet away. "Now you got my attention brother, so how do you propose this ritual thing?" He asked Elijah who smiled genuinely at him before turning towards his Warlock. ''Get everything prepare and inform others." Staring at Klaus he added. "Tell everyone it's time."
