3rd POV
It was bordering on two in the morning and where everyone else was either sleeping or just getting home from the bars, Tyler Lockwood found himself making a phone call just outside the edge of town. Upon getting Elena's voicemail yet again, the young hybrid finally decided it best to just leave her a message.
"Hey Elena you're not answering you phone and I know it's late but this really important. Klaus knows that something's up, one of his hybrids saw Elijah come to the boarding and then run off with Stefan and Damon. Now I was able to sneak away before Klaus could call upon my assistance, but I know it's only a matter of time until he finds me so I'm leaving town, and I'm changing my number. I don't want to help him hurt any of my friends again, and so long as I'm under the influence of the sirebond I'm of no use to guys. Oh and Elena, if you could tell Caroline about this and try to get her to see that I'm doing this for the sake of my friends and her. Thanks, see you when I see you." Ended Tyler just before crushing his cell phone under the weight of his hybrid strength.
After taking one last look at Mystic Falls Tyler then turned in the opposite direction fully intending on just taking off into the night. But upon turning around the young Lockwood was immediately met by a fellow hybrid.
"Tyler, man is Klaus going to be happy that I found you." Smirked Daniel
"Look man I'm not looking for any trouble ok. So how about you just let me go and we call it even." Offered Tyler
"Can't do that friend, you see Klaus demands your presence and you know as well as I do that Klaus gets what he wants." Stated Daniel
"Yea well here's the thing I'm actually trying to avoid Klaus, so either you get my way or I'll have to make you." Explained Tyler
Upon hearing Tyler's last statement Daniel's face suddenly began to contort as he now bore his true face, which included his dark amber eyes and canine fangs. "Is that right, well then come on Tyler. Let's see just which one of us is the stronger HYBRID." Stated Daniel before then lunging after one of Mystic Falls high's star football players with everything he had.

Elsewhere Damon, Stefan and Elijah had all just arrived at the border that leads into the little town known as Arlington.
"So this is Arlington, what now?" asked Stefan
"No we proceed with caution, though my mother has done everything possible to keep her location concealed. Doesn't mean she hasn't gone to further lengths to protect herself should anyone have gotten this far." Pointed out Elijah
"Yea, yea, yea be on the lookout for any funny business check. Now do we have an exact pin point location on your mother or are we gonna have to go house to house looking for Samantha and the evil witch?" asked a somewhat antsy Damon
"I'm afraid I wasn't able to get anything other than they were in Arlington." Answered Elijah
"So house to house it is. Well what are waiting for let's go find Sam." Stated Damon
And just like that three ventured pass the boarder and into Arlington in hopes of rescuing their precious Samantha.

Sam's Pov
(Flash Back)
It was eleven am in the morning and I had not too long ago just gotten out of school. Man I was so pumped to get home change and go hang out with my best friends James, that when I ran up to my house I completely spaced out on the car parked in the driveway.
So you could just imagine how taken back I was after opening up the front door and being welcomed home by what sounded like an argument. Now sadly for me at this particular age I hadn't yet learned how to pick up on others conversations. So I could only make out a few words before finally reaching the living room, where I came across mom arguing with a man I didn't recognize.
"Ugh mom?" I asked attempting to draw attention to the kid in the room.
Sharply turning their heads in my direction, a look of worry and what seemed to be guilt quickly washed over the faces of my mother and the man she was just arguing with.
"Samantha?! Samantha what are you doing here you should be in school." Pointed out my mother as she made her way towards me.
Redirecting my eyes from the unknown to my mother I quickly responded, "It was a half day remember, that's why I asked if I could go over to James house when I got home."
"I remember now, sorry honey I completely forgot. But how about you head on up stairs take a shower get changed and then I'll drop you at James's house ok?" asked my mom as she tucked a few loose strands of my hair behind y left ear.
"Ok but mom who is he and why were you two fighting?"I asked as I overly skeptical about leaving my mother alone with this man.
"He's no one honey, just an extremely old friend of mommy's, and as for our arguing I'm sorry if we scared you. It's just that we weren't seeing eye to eye on a very important topic but rest assure they will be no more arguing coming from us sweetheart now go on up and get ready. You don't want to keep James waiting."
"Ok I guess." I replied before then taking one last glance at the unknown man before then retreating upstairs as to get ready for my play date with James.
Now if I'm to be honest something about the man just didn't sit well with me. Maybe it was because the way he looked at my mother or maybe it was because of the way he looked at me. All I knew for sure was that there was way more going on than my mother was willing to share and as much as I didn't like it for now I would just have to play the role of obedient doting daughter, which was a role I was far too familiar with.

Upon hearing the distant and distort sounds of people talking, my little trip down memory lane came to a very sudden and abrupt end. Seeing as I was finally beginning to regain consciousness. It took me a minute or two to remember that I was being held hostage by Esther and momma's boy of a first born Finn. Whose voices I could just barely hear which brought me to the conclusion that they mush had been in another room.
A few seconds after I began fiddling with the ropes that kept my hands bound I suddenly heard the sound of footsteps approaching.
"Try all you might, you're not going to get free of those ropes." Smirked Finn
"Hey, you can't blame a girl for trying." I countered
"Things would be so much easier if you'd just assist us instead of rebelling out of spite like some kind of a child." Pointed out Finn
"I'm not going to take advice about acting like a child from a grown ass man in his late thousands that still follows his mom around like a lost puppy." I shot back at the eldest Original
The look in Finn's eyes following my rude comment was definitely one of murderous intent. And I have to say that, that look in his eyes greatly worried me but as usual I kept my game face on. Though on the inside I was having a panic attack, I mean you'd think after being held hostage by Klaus that I'd have learned to not piss off my captors. But as always, I just say the first thing that comes to my head. And one of these days doing so is going to get me killed, I just hope today isn't that day.

A few minutes had passed since my rude comment towards Finn when suddenly without warning the eldest Original vamp sped over towards me. It was safe to say I was now completely freaked, especially seeing that upon reaching me Finn then took his hands and pried open my mouth. With Finn now holding my mouth open all I could was shake around in my chair in hopes of breaking free of Finn's all powerful grip.
Then just when I thought the worst was already happening Esther enters back into the living room with a cup of what I don't know, which made me freak out even more as I started to assumed that they were trying to poison me. As much as I tried to struggle I could do nothing against Finn's might and just like that Esther began pouring the liquid from the cup into my widely held open mouth.
I did what I could do to not swallow but then Esther being Esther went about holding my nose forcing me to choose between getting oxygen or not swallowing the liquid. I tried to hold out for as long as I could but then my lungs began to feel like they were on fire so in attempt to get air I began swallowing the liquid but there was so much poured in my mouth that I began to choke. Only after all the liquid was gone did Esther let go of my nose and Finn my mouth.
"What …what was that?!" I asked between coughs
"Just something to make you more compliant." replied Esther before then once again exiting the living room.

Klaus's POV
"Daniel mate this is the third I've called and the third time I've gotten your voicemail. Now I don't know if you've forgotten how to answer your phone or if you're just trying to piss me off. Let's hope it's not the latter, for your sake. I'm still waiting on word about Tyler Lockwood call me." I finished before then ending the call just as I had arrived at the Salvatore's Boarding House.
It was only a little after six so I figured Elena would still be here seeing as Nate assured me that she was still in the house when left to report back to me. And luckily for him he was right for as I walked up the drive way that led to the Salvatore estate there in the drive way was Elena Gilbert's vehicle. So with a smirk now present on my face I walked up the steps and began knocking on the door. Not that I needed to knock on the door seeing as any vampire was permitted access to this place seeing as no living thing lived here, but I still decided to knock if only for dramatic effect.
I'm guessing the newest Petrova doppelganger was just about to head out cause no more than maybe five seconds after I knocked on the door did it opened and I saw the doppelganger with a bag thrown over her left shoulder.
"Klaus!" gasped the Tatia look alike.
"Ahhh, just who I was looking for, we have a lot to discuss love." I stated with the most devious looking grin on my face.

3rd POV
Damon, Stefan, and Elijah were just in the midst of regrouping after hours of looking around Arlington only to come up empty handed.
"Please tell me one of you has had better luck at finding Samantha in this run down town than I have." Expressed an overly annoyed Damon
"What's got you in a less than Damon mood?" asked Stefan
"Oh I don't know Stefan, maybe because I don't like becoming werewolf bait during a witch hunt." Explained Damon
"Wait a second did you just say werewolves?" asked a now overly intrigued Elijah.
"What, you didn't hear me the first time?" asked Damon
"I find that interesting, because I myself had a little set back as I had ran into what seemed to be a coven of witches. Which makes absolutely no sense seeing as Arlington has never been known for its supernatural inhabitants." Pointed out Elijah
"Ok so what then? Esther called up a few friends to help protect her on the slim chance that we get this far?" asked Stefan
"No, in spite of how strong my mother is there's no way she could have accumulated this much loyal followers in such a short. Besides the witches I ran into seemed to be looking for something." Said Elijah
"Ok but looking for what?" asked Damon
After a moment of silence Elijah responded "I'm afraid not what, but who?"
"Why do I feel like you're not talking about Esther?" asked a now worried Stefan
"Wait a second if not Esther then who Samantha?" asked Damon
"I'm afraid so." Answered Elijah
"What do witches want with Samantha?" asked Stefan
"Samantha is descended from a powerful and if not royal bloodline of witches who have been sought after for many a decades. These witches hold power and influence unlike any has ever seen and up until just recently these witches were said to have all been extinct."
"Ok well if that's the case then how'd they find out about Sam, who blabbed?" asked a now more infuriated Damon
"I am afraid that in my search for my mother, Samantha's blood ties to the Demeter witches might have been discovered and thus told to any that would listen." Guessed Elijah
"Great so not only do we have to hurry and try and find Sam before Esther finishes her spell but now we have to hope to find them before anyone else does. And we don't even have a clue on where the wicked witch and her flying monkey are keeping her." Pointed out Damon
"Which means it's even more imperative that we find and save Samantha." Stated Elijah.
"Well then what are we waiting for, let's go find Sammy before someone else does." Declared Stefan before then taking the lead in finding Samantha.
Just then Stefan cell begins to ring, and upon answering it Stefan was greeted by a panic filled Elena. Who then began to tell Stefan about her visit from Klaus and how she had to tell him what was going based on him threatening to kill Matt and Alaric.
After calming Elena down and telling her that it was alright that she told Klaus. Stefan then hung up and slowly turned to face Damon and Elijah who thanks to their vampire hearing had heard everything Elena had said. Including the fact that Klaus and a few of his hybrids were on their way to Arlington with the intent of killing not just Esther but Samantha along with her.
"Is it just me or are things just gradually getting worst with every passing second?" asked an overly sarcastic Damon
"We must hurry." Stated Elijah just seconds before him and the Salvatore brothers vamp sped off in different directions in search of Samantha Salvatore.
