AN: This chapter really doesn't feature Bianca for the reason is simple-she's asleep upstairs. I should have placed it in the last chapter but as I was trying to write it out without rushing to make it at least halfway decent, I forgot to add that!

RECAP:

Elijah smiled and kissed his wife's temple. "Everyone is fine."

She nodded but she was still worried.

As everyone was settled, a gentle knocking could be heard and as Elijah opened it, he saw the young girl.

"Angeline? What are you doing here?" She smiled warmly at him.

"It's time for me to fix your minds and I only want to help-even if that wolf girl is indeed carrying my half sibling."

Chapter 8: Remembering

The sounds of the trees rustling in the wind and four people walking could barely be heard. One of the men was beside a sixteen year old boy who had a bow strapped across his back alongside a quiver of arrows.

The man knelt down by his son's side and whispered, "the first rule of hunting is to not startle your prey. Do you remember those breathing techniques that me and your mother taught you?" as the boy nod, he nodded as well. "Just use those techniques and-" he stopped as he felt something freeze inside him and his heart was beating rapidly.

Elijah Mikaelson, third born son of Mikael and Esther and husband of Elena, stood up and begun to run.

He had to get to them-his wife and his two four year old daughters-before anything could truly happen to them that would make him feel incomplete.

The first born son of Esther stood inside the hut that his brother Elijah lived in with his wife and three children. The youngest were twins Azalea and Liliya who were adored by the entire family and there were talks that he heard from Niklaus about both Elijah and Elena planning on having one more child in their family.

He wasn't aware that Elena was pregnant again. It was confirmed by Ayana just a few hours ago.

Elijah never knew.

The man knew that if he killed them that Dahlia's threat will not come after them again.

The first time it was through his nephew.

His mother had taken a great risk at tampering with Kol's magic, when he was born sixteen summers earlier. She couldn't get to the girls though and their magic could, at any time, call out to Dahlia. Esther couldn't have that and gave her favored son a mission.

Make the girls and their mother-who Esther despised-disappear for good.

Fin Mikaelson, the first born son, steadied his left hand that held a hunting knife and stabbed Elena in her abdomen, knowing that she will bleed out and as he stepped over her fallen body he found the girls-at four years old-drawing in the dirt outside of the hut when he kept chanting in Latin.

The words made no sense to the girls but they fell asleep and the ground covered them, causing them to disappear.

He had already done this four hours ago to his youngest brother's-Niklaus'-daughter Angeline while his wife Tatia had been none the wiser.

Now, he had to go home and tell mother what he had done.

What he had done for her.

This was the fastest that he had run but he kept pushing himself when he felt ice fill his heart. He wanted to be wrong and that she and the girls were safe.

Dread filled him as he raced into his hut.

Elijah Mikaelson fell to his knees and held his wife-his dead wife-in his arms, tears falling from his eyes before two of his brothers made their presence known but he didn't turn to look at them.

"Elijah…"his twin brother Daniel whispered. "I am so sorry…'Lena is dead but there is no sign of Azalea and Liliya…" he trailed off. Elijah turned his dark eyes onto him while his younger brother Niklaus nodded, his eyes downcast as he saw the despair bubbling in his favorite brother's usually warm eyes.

From where Elijah was, he could see his eldest son Kol look horrified at the condition of his mother as well as himself, his clothes covered in his soulmate's blood-his one true love's blood.

His Elena.

His light in life.

Gone. Taken away from him and only God knows what happened to his daughters.

"Papa…" Kol's voice was laced with heartache and he couldn't blame him. "Are the girls with grandmother, Aunt Lorelai or even Miss Ayana?"

Elijah wanted to say yes to him, to hope that he was being honest when Ayana herself appeared, looking tired and distressed.

"Azalea and Liliya are no longer in this time period along with Angeline," she herself had to blink away the tears forming in her eyes and her voice was caught in her throat, unable to see the sadness in Niklaus' eyes when he heard that. Clearing her throat to subdue her sobbing that she knew would come, she continued. "I can, however, make sure that a descendant of mine will watch and protect them until you yourself find them."

Elijah could only nod and asked in a choked voice, "Can you bring her back to me?"

She shook her head in the negative. It was impossible to bring back the dead without paying a price. The saying she remembered her mother and grandmother still resonated deep inside her-all magic comes with a price. She knew of one way and that was something she read in one of her family's grimoires-if numerous self inflicted deaths were to occur and they overwhelmed the Anchor to the Other Side, it could work.

She blinked and remembered another spell and an idea came to her mind.

Walking over to the distraught man still soaked in his love's blood, she knelt down beside him and placed her right hand over Elena Mikaelson's knife wound. Closing her eyes she began to chant something in Latin, her voice softer now, and the air around them turned frosty cold. The four male Mikaelsons near her felt the magic from not only Elena and Ayana swirl around but the magic from nature all around them bleed into that swirled magic and be pushed back inside the corpse. The second she was done, a small smile graced her lips.

"She will return to you when nature and Fate find another soul who will be killed and then you both will be reunited with your daughters again." As soon as the words left her mouth, she got up and walked over to her own hut that had talismans hanging.

As much as she wanted to tell him that it wouldn't just be Elena but their child and Elena who would come back to him, she couldn't stand to see him break anymore.

Esther, when she had sealed her son's hybrid side with his dead wife's blood, also placed a spell on them all to make them forget that Niklaus was married to Tatia and that their daughter Angeline had been taken from him.

Her greatest shame was not only in doing this but in her deal she had made with Dahlia-her sister who had her beautiful Freya-and to protect her family from Dahlia's spells had sent Fin to make the girls disappear.

She didn't care how they would disappear as long as they were out of reach of Dahlia's powers they would be safe.

She did love her children and grandson, yes, but out of that love she had made herself into a monster and a villain and she knew that her family will never get the chance to experience the life she had robbed them of again for Elijah.

She just prayed that Niklaus will never break his curse as she knew a child with his blood will be what brings Dahlia back.

As the vampires were still going through their memories, Elena went over to hug Angeline and had her sit down on the couch while Hayley stood, watching the scene unfold.

She had to have known about Klaus' daughter but as the girl was sitting on the couch with Elena, she knew that not even the Originals knew about this girl because of Esther.

Elena turned her attention to Hayley and made a motion for her to sit. The wolf did but she was sitting away from the two as she knew that Angeline must not like her at all and she didn't blame her.

If her father had gotten someone else pregnant and that person was known to sleep around, she would act just like the Hybrid's daughter.

"He's the only one I've been with," Angeline looked over at her with a raised eyebrow. "I know that it sounds like a lie but it's true. As much as I had loved this one guy, a part of me knew that he wasn't interested in me and I left him. I met Klaus in Mystic Falls and we both agreed for whatever we have as a 'friends with benefits' deal until this." To emphasize what went wrong with their deal, she placed a hand on her abdomen. "I never had the kind of relationship kids have with their parents as mine abandoned me and my adoptive parents kicked me out for accidentally changing into a wolf one night once I activated my gene."

Elena placed a kiss on Angeline's forehead and went over to Hayley.

"I know that this is all too new and scary for you but I will help you, don't worry about that." She smiled at the girl. "I've been in your place before-having Kol first which was a handful and then my two girls, I was scared for them and their safety. Now, knowing what my family is, I don't fear for any of them."

Elijah, who was the first to awaken, heard what his wife was saying to the girl and smiled. His beautiful wife was as selfless as her cousin's doppelganger and as she stood up to make the two girls something to drink, he got up and flashed over to her, placing his hands on her waist.

"I'll do it," he whispered. "You just rest for me."

"I may be pregnant Elijah but don't you dare try to make me into a housewife." She looked him dead in the eye as her temper was coming out. "It may have been unthinkable back a thousand years ago but I did hunt with you."

"I know darling," he knew that she hated being confined to a house but for the moment it was for the best. "I know but for now, just please stay."

She sighed. "You are lucky that you are sexy darling." He just held her tighter and pressed his lips to her forehead.

"Well, it looks like I have a daughter to get to know after all these years…" Klaus managed to get out when Angeline threw herself into his arms.

Hayley saw a side of the evil hybrid no one else thought existed-hope.

She saw how hopeful he looked when Angeline threw herself into his arms and he just held her tightly.

It made her feel that same hopeful feeling that he would be the same way with this child of theirs.

It looks like the beginning of Hayley's feelings for our favorite Original Hybrid!

While I was thinking of why Esther would do something like this-I remember in one episode of The Originals season 2 when Lenore (before she was possessed by Esther) had said to Hayley. Because Esther loves her family so much, she didn't want Dahlia to come after them and so, made them the Original Vampires and Original Hybrid who was cursed
