Raven. R Mahmood: Thank you!

Guest16: Thanks!

ChristinaCay: I figure with Esther and Mikael being on the Other Side together for much longer than they were in TVDU, I should shake the foundation of their relationship. I shudder to think what could have happened to The Originals if their parents were actually on the same page.

katitat: I definitely agree, TVD left quite a few holes in magical backgrounds in the later seasons, so I'm going to use those gaps and build my own magical framework.

sammyleann: I haven't decided what to do with Grayson yet! I really want Enzo to able to kill him, but if he doesn't go off that bridge, how will Stefan ever meet Elena? I'm sure before he saw her, he was just passing through Mystic Falls. If I can figure something out, I'll definitely give Enzo the honours of murdering his torturer!

aandm20: Everything that happened in the last chapter, within the span of a couple of days, I probably should have made that more clear. But Jenna's hysterical for most of the chapter, her daughter's dying, she has no idea what to do, she's overwhelmed. But not to worry, our favourite Mystic Falls vamps make an appearance in this chapter!

Thanks for reading, enjoy!

It had been two weeks since Maya had fallen into her coma, Jenna had barely left her side, while she didn't trust Grayson with her little girl, having him as part of her family meant that she was afforded more access than regular visitors. She had a cot set up in her daughter's room, Miranda brought her clothes so that she didn't have to go home, Jeremy and Caroline would come and sit with her, Damon and Enzo had flown in immediately upon a phone call from a slightly calmer Caroline. She'd called from Maya's phone when she'd managed to stop crying. Damon had been able to remain at the hospital with Jenna for most of the time, he'd vacate the area whenever her sister and nephew showed up, but Enzo had to remain in the shadows most of the time, with Grayson Gilbert as Maya's doctor he had to wait until the Gilbert Patriarch had left before he could check on his best friend. Unfortunately, nothing had changed when he visited, her heart still beat, and she'd come off the ventilator, able to breathe on her own again, but she wouldn't wake up. She wasn't responding to stimuli, and her brain activity was declining, both Damon and Enzo had tried to enter her mind in order to wake her up but had been thrown out of it before they could make contact. Whatever was keeping her unconscious, was also strong enough to keep two century old vampires out of head whilst keeping her down.

It was the middle of the day and Grayson had some 'business' on the Whitmore campus so Enzo and Damon were able to visit Maya together this time. Damon was sat in the bed, next to Maya, his hand on her head whilst he tried again to enter her mind. Jenna was lying on the cot, her head in Enzo's lap as the vampire stroked her hair, she'd just come down from another crying jag and was now staring at her daughter's unresponsive form. "I don't know what to do anymore," Jenna whispered hoarsely when Damon pulled back with a groan, he still couldn't reach her. "The neurologist said that she's dying." She brushed away the tears that had started again.

"And what does your dear old brother-in-law have to say?" Enzo asked with a sneer.

"He wants to move her, he's been telling Miranda that the hospital near Whitmore is better than the one here, that it's got more resources. Enzo he saw her bones break on their own, he has to know that something supernatural happened."

Damon looked over at the other two, "If he saw that, and wants to move her to Whitmore, it's so he can study her for Augustine, I don't think they've ever had a witch before, niece or not, he won't be gentle."

Jenna sat up and looked at both vampires in a panic, "I can't let him take her!"

"So we kill him," Damon shrugged, "I'm actually surprised you didn't do it already Zo."

"You can't kill him!" Jenna exclaimed, "He's my sister's husband!"

"Who wants to experiment on your daughter!" Damon exclaimed, "There's no choice here."

"Damon!" Enzo chided, "We're not killing him, not if we don't have to," Enzo had had this discussion with Maya years ago, after he'd gotten out, they'd talked about the issues that Grayson's life and death would bring with them, they still hadn't decided what to do, but Enzo had promised he wouldn't do anything without Maya's permission. "Our primary focus should be getting Maya out of Grayson's reach whilst she's defenceless."

"How are we going to do that though?" Jenna asked

Damon gave Enzo a look, and his companion nodded, he knew what they'd have to do, even if Enzo was reluctant to do it, "We're going to move her to a hospital in New York, and then we're going to ask someone for a favour."

"Who?" Jenna asked wearily, she had a feeling she knew, her daughter hadn't been secretive about her chats with a certain old-as-dirt vampire, but she also hadn't been very forthcoming with the information she had about him.

"Our friend," Enzo said, "He's the oldest, deadliest creature in existence, if anyone can help her it's him."

"And he's just going to help save my daughter? Out of the goodness of his heart?"

Enzo winced a little at her sceptical tone, "Well not exactly, but Maya's his friend, and she's smart and powerful, he likes having her on his side."

"He wants to use her," Jenna concluded.

"I don't think so," Damon cut in, he needed to have Jenna on side for this move, because he didn't think that Maya, nor Enzo would appreciate it if he drained Jenna of vervain and then compelled her to go along with them. "Not really, Nik's not the kind of guy that doesn't get what he wants, if all he wanted was to use her, he would have found her, and taken her by now, I think he actually likes her."

Jenna scoffed, "And what? You expect me to believe that someone who is used to being on top, isn't just going to take advantage her when he gets the chance?"

"Jenna," Damon said, moving over to the woman, looking deep into her eyes, "Maya gave him something that he cherishes, more than anything, according to him, technically he owes her."

"What could she have given him, that was that important?"

"She gave him his family back," Enzo said, "There was a hunter, just as strong, just as old as Nik, and he had a weapon that was capable of killing Nik, and any member of his family. Maya found that weapon and the location of the hunter, and gave them to Nik. Nik killed the hunter, and for the first time in 1000 years, he was able to re-unite his family. If we ask for his help, he will give it."

Jenna wiped a hand over her face and stood up, "Ok, so how do we do this?"

"Enzo'll give Nik a call to arrange things in New York, I'll get the ball rolling here," Damon said, "We should be ready to go tomorrow, and I'll be here when you tell the Dr Frankenstein that you're moving your daughter, as back-up."

Jenna nodded, "Thank you," she said, squeezing Damon's arm in a friendly gesture, the two had come far since their initial confrontation at Fells Church two years ago.

The older vampire shrugged, "Eh, Enzo made it pretty clear that Maya's his number one priority, and I kinda like her," he pointed a finger at Jenna, "Do not tell her I said that though!"

For the first time in two weeks Jenna smiled, "I promise."

"Good, I'm going to go and talk to staff here about moving Maya, you stay with her."

It was the morning, and Damon was stood outside Caroline's house, waiting for the blonde's mother and father to leave for work. He'd never met the girl, but had seen pictures, and figured that while Jenna was remaining in the hospital, Maya's human best friend could pack some stuff for her and Jenna, so both women actually had some clothes when they got to New York. He straightened when he saw both adults leave, waited until he could no longer hear either of their vehicles, before whooshing to the front of the house and knocking on the door.

About 30 seconds later Caroline opened the door, eye's widening at the site of him stood there, "I'm not inviting you in!" she rushed out in a panic, Maya had always said that as much as she (grudgingly) liked Damon, he was a wild card, and very dangerous.

Damon smirked, "You know who I am, fantastic, at least this makes things easier. Jenna's having Maya transferred to a hospital in New York to get her away from Doctor Gilbert, so you need to come with me and pack some things for the both of them."

"What?!" Caroline shrieked causing Damon to wince a little at the sound, "What do you mean she's moving her to New York?!"

"Doctor Gilbert saw Maya's bones break, on their own, and now he's pushing to get Maya moved to a hospital close to Whitmore, I'm pretty sure you and I both know what that means Blondie."

"Oh god, he thinks she's magical!"

"Ding, ding, ding! Got it one Barbie, Enzo and I are moving the little witch somewhere safe, so that we can figure out how to help her without needing to worry about psycho doctors wanting to cut her up and play with her insides."

Caroline shot him an unimpressed look, she so did not need that imagery in her head, "I'm still not inviting you in."

"Not asking you to Barbie, but I do need you to come and pack the ladies' things for me, seeing as how I have yet to secure an invite to Casa del Sommers." Damon pouted a little at the thought that Jenna still had not given him an all-access pass to her house, (it might have had something to do with the fact that in the first 30 seconds of their initial meeting he had threatened Maya, and Jenna had threatened to shoot him, but surely that was all in the past?).

"I'm calling Jenna first," Caroline insisted.

"Make it snappy!"

Caroline slammed the door in his face, and called her best friend's mum, upon receiving confirmation from Jenna as to what was happening, she grabbed her keys and her purse, slipping the moonstone inside, and headed out the front door. It was a short walk to Maya's house, now that she'd moved, but Caroline refused to let Damon vamp speed them there, so it gave her a chance to talk to the raven-haired vampire.

"You're taking her to Klaus, aren't you?"

Damon raised an eyebrow, glancing at the young girl, "Maya really tells you everything huh?"

"Oh please," Caroline scoffed, "I'm her best friend in the whole world, you think I wouldn't know all about Klaus and their weird little flirtations on the phone."

"You've seen it too!" Damon exclaimed, he'd caught the tail end of several conversations Nik had had with Maya, and all of them had had a layer of flirtation to them, "I knew they were flirting! I mean my idea of flirting has a way less blood and gore in it, but to each his own I guess."

"Thank you!" Caroline replied, feeling vindicated by Damon's agreement with her, "They are so weird! But Maya still refuses to acknowledge that I'm right, she's all like 'we're just friends Sunshine, he's too old for me, we don't flirt' but I know better."

"Tell me about it, Enzo's in total denial, as far as he's concerned Maya does not, and will never know what attraction is, let alone do anything scandalous with Niklaus Mikaelson."

"Well, if that's what he's hoping for he's going to be severely disappointed, she totally thinks he's scrumptious, and I can tell you, he's totally her type."

"It's the accent, right?" Damon asked.

"Definitely."

"There's something about the British accent that's just so…"

"Swoon-worthy?" Caroline offered, inwardly squealing at the thought that she was getting some initial confirmation of, what she and Maya had coined as, Denzo.

"I was going to say hot, but sure," Damon shrugged.

They'd finally made it to Maya's house and Caroline took out her key and unlocked the door, "I won't be long!" she called, rushing upstairs. She grabbed two duffle bags and quickly packed what she believed would be essentials for both Maya and Jenna.

She was done 30 minutes later, and found Damon sat around the back of the house on the porch swing, "All finished," she said handing Damon one of the bags, if Maya was being transferred today, then she was going to go to the hospital with Damon and say goodbye.

Damon had gotten them to the hospital in seconds, giving Caroline her first experience of vampire speed, she'd been disorientated, but extremely proud that she hadn't puked in front of the hot vampire she'd been chatting to. Putting the duffle bags in his car, that he'd left at the hospital, they'd walked in to find Grayson and Jenna in a full-blown argument.

"I don't understand why you won't trust me Jenna, she'll be better off at Whitmore Hospital! They have more equipment and I have colleagues there that specialise in Maya's problem." Grayson insisted, unwilling to say the 'M' word while he didn't know how much his sister-in-law actually knew about the supernatural.

"I don't need to explain myself to you Grayson, I'm doing what's best for her."

"By moving her to a city and hospital that you have no connections with? How does that make any sense?!"

Damon cleared his throat while Caroline moved to Jenna's side, "Is there a problem here?" he asked, his eyes like ice as he stared down Enzo's most recent torturer.

"Who are you?" Grayson asked, he'd seen the man with Jenna before but hadn't managed to catch a name or work out what his relationship was with his sister-in-law.

"Oh I'm so sorry, I completely neglected to introduce myself," Damon gave him smirk, imagining what it would be like tear out the doctor's throat with his teeth, "I'm Derek," Damon said, unwilling to give him any details about himself.

"Derek what?"

Damon shrugged, "Doesn't really matter, I just came to check on my good friend Jenna, when I found you yelling at her, correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure that that's not part of your job description."

"I'm having a discussion with my patient's mother, whatever you want can wait."

"Actually it can't," Damon said, "Because you were talking about a subject that actually has a lot to do with me," he turned to Jenna who had an arm wrapped around Caroline's shoulders, "The medical team has arrived, and is ready to move Maya, the lovely Caroline here, packed your things, they're in the car, all we need to do is finish up the paperwork here, so we can leave."

Grayson scoffed at the man, "I'm not signing off on this! You can't just take her."

"You don't need to sign off on anything, you're no longer Maya's doctor."

"What?" Jenna asked confused.

"What are you talking about?" Grayson asked.

"Well, I feel a little iffy about family treating family, so Maya has a new doctor, and since I'm the one paying for her treatment, the hospital was more than happy to oblige my request." Damon turned to Caroline, "Barbie, you stay here with Maya while Jenna and I go and fill out the rest of the paperwork." At her answering nod he motioned for Jenna to follow him, and they left the room, Grayson following after them spluttering in anger.

When they had left Enzo whooshed in, startling the young girl, "Enzo!" Caroline exclaimed, finally getting a face to face look at her best friend's, vampire best friend, "What are you doing here? Dr Gilbert is in the building, he cannot see you!"

"Ah, you must be the lovely Caroline, I can see why she calls you Sunshine," Enzo smiled.

"You cannot be here!" Caroline hissed.

"Damon will keep the good doctor busy, I'm just here to make sure that Maya will be safe in transit."

"How are you going to that?" she asked curiously. Enzo grabbed a syringe and needle, he used it to draw blood from himself and then inject it into Maya. "What are you doing?!" Caroline whisper screeched.

"Vampire blood has healing properties, and if the worst should happen, it will bring her back from death," Enzo explained and Caroline blanched.

"Do you really thing she'll need it?"

"I don't know, but I'm not taking any chances with her," he'd rather have her frozen at 15 than lose her forever.

Caroline nodded in understanding, she didn't want to lose Maya either, "Enzo," she said hesitantly, "What did Jenna tell you about what happened with Maya?"

"Just that she found a magical item and that when she touched it, it did this to her."

"Yeah, I wasn't sure how much to tell Jenna exactly," Caroline looked at him sheepishly.

"What do you mean, what happened Caroline?"

"The magical item that she found, that we found, it was the moonstone."

"WHAT!"

"Shh, would you keep it down!"

"What do you mean it was the moonstone?"

"Look, long story short, those nightmares she was getting, we figured out it was the Witch that was hiding the moonstone, she stopped attacking Maya when her locator spell finally found that stupid rock. It was in the Lockwood property, so I went and got it, Maya came over to mine to pick it up, and the second she touched it, it did this," she pointed at her friend. "I don't know how, because it didn't do anything to me then, and it hasn't since."

"You still have the stone?" Enzo asked.

Caroline nodded and pulled it out of her purse, "Damon said you're asking Klaus for help, this should be enough payment to find a way to fix her, right?"

Enzo took it in his hand, stared at the small white stone that had caused such damage to his world, if he didn't know how much Nik needed the damn thing, he would have hurled it into the sea. "For this love, Nik will do everything to fix her, I'll make sure of it."

"You better be sure about this Enzo, this is the only thing I've got to make sure that Klaus will help her." Caroline said, she remembered all about how Maya had told her how dangerous and powerful Klaus was, and even if they flirted over the phone, that didn't mean that he would automatically jump to Maya's rescue. You didn't become the oldest, deadliest creature in existence by helping out whoever asked.

"I'm sure love, he'll help her."

Klaus sat back in his office in the Penthouse, he'd just gotten off the phone with Damon, it appeared that his little witch had gotten herself into a spot of trouble and was in need of his assistance. Smiling to himself, he reached for his phone, intent on ensuring some heavy vampire protection at the hospital she would be moved to, he was finally going to meet the little witch that plagued his thoughts. He would have preferred to meet her when she wasn't in trouble, maybe surprise her while she was on a walk in Central Park on one of her visits to the city, but at least he got to see her now, and whatever was plaguing her, he would stop it, and she would be in his debt once more.

Another short chapter, but I wanted the other characters to be able to interact a little without Maya's presence, Caroline finally meets Damon and Enzo! Klaus is going to get what he's wanted for the past two years, and meet the 'little witch' herself (too bad that she's in a coma).

Please leave a review if you can! They make my day.
