Now to see if Father and Uncle Eli are alright, I thought as I sped home.

When I got home, the house was in shambles.

"What do you expect me to do Klaus!" I heard Father shouting from the parlor on the other side of the house.

I quietly crept towards the parlor and I hid outside of it. I wanted to know what happened today with Father, Uncle Eli, and Klaus and what has them all in such distress.

"I expect you to stay here and help me take them down!" Klaus shouted back.

"Oh that is a load of crap!" Father spat, "All you want is to get the doppelgänger and kill the little group that's protecting her and anyone else that gets in your way!"

"That is not true! I want revenge for what they did to you! To US!"

"If anything you only want to get revenge because they went against us and they almost succeeded in taking all of us down!"

"Now why don't both of you just be quiet for a minute and think this through for a moment before we do anything rash," Uncle Eli's calm voice spoke over them.

"No matter what you say, you won't be changing my mind Elijah. I've already made it up," Father said a little more calmly this time.

"I wasn't planning to change your mind Kol. I just wanted you to think this through," Elijah said while getting closer to the door of the parlor. "Think about Lilly, what do you think she is going to say about this?"

I pressed myself further into the wall, not wanting them to know that I was there before I got all the information I could get.

"I am thinking of Lilly, Elijah! That's why I'm going to do this, I have to protect her!" Father yelled.

"I know that Kol but do you really think that Lilly will take it well that her father is leaving and that he wants her to stay here after she just got you back after a hundred years of being away from you?" Uncle Eli said softly, moving away from the door.

I gasped, he's leaving me?

I know that they heard my gasp when they stopped talking, so I decided that this was my cue to become a participant in the conversation.

"What does Uncle Eli mean that you are leaving Father?" I questioned after stepping into the parlor.

Klaus and Father turned from glaring at each other to look at me. Uncle Eli was watching his brothers from a corner of the room.

"Come on Klaus, let's give them some room," Uncle Eli said before walking out the door.

Klaus started walking towards the door when he hesitated. As he opened his mouth to say something, Uncle Eli's called out to Klaus.

"Leave them alone Klaus, they need to talk."

Klaus sighed and walked out. This left me wondering what he was going to say.

When I knew that they were out of hearing range I turned to face Father.

"Well? Are you going to tell me why you are going to leave when I just got you back?" I asked; my voice breaking.

Father crossed the room towards me and pulled me into his arm for a hug.

"I have to leave you but it won't be for long. I promise you that I will be back soon."

"But why do you have to leave? Why can't you stay or take me with you?" I whispered into Father's chest.

"I want you to be safe and for that to happen I need to do this," Father said and his hold on me tightened before he released me to start pacing around the room.

"I'm going to be going to Forks to watch over the doppelgänger's brother. I need you to stay here and watch over the doppelgänger and her group and if by any chance they start to threaten you, I want you to tell them that you have someone there with him."

"How do you even know that the Gilbert boy is even in Forks?" I demanded, my sadness for him leaving me for a moment.

"I had some witches do a locator spell and as it turns out, he's in Forks, hiding from us," He said before he stopped pacing.

"Why didn't you ask me for help? I have people that could have helped you or for that matter me, I could have told you where he was too, I have a group of friends that live in Washington that have seen him, they just need to be giving a word and they will be there on my command," I inquired.

"Why can't you understand that I don't want to use you?! You are my daughter, someone that I love and would die for, someone that I don't want to use for anything."

"Why does it matter if you want my help? I want to help you Father, anyway I can."

"What matters is that I want to make you safe and I don't want to use you to make that happen, I should be able to do it for you by myself… not with the help from the very person I'm trying to protect." Father said softly, showing the side of him that he doesn't show anyone but his family.

I rushed to give Father a hug. "Alright Father, I'll stay here but please be safe," I said as tears started falling out of my eyes.

Father hugged me back tightly, "I promise you that I'll be back soon, at the most a month but don't worry about me, I'll be safe."

We stayed like that for a few minutes before we started to hear things crashing and breaking in the other room…along with Aunt Rebekah's yelling.

I smirked a little as Father released me, "Dry up those tears and lets go see what's wrong with Rebekah now," Father said while smirking as well.

When my tears were dry and gone, Father and I went into the living room to see Aunt Rebekah demanding to know what was going on. She was shouting because Uncle Eli and Klaus wouldn't tell her anything.

"Well it took you long enough to get here Aunt Rebekah," I taunted with a laugh when she started to turn red in the face from anger.

"How dare you show your face here after what you did to me!" She snarled at me.

"How dare I?" I snorted, "You are the one that tried to kill me. I think that staking you and snapping your neck is just payback for what you tried to do."

I saw Father freeze beside me.

"YOU TRIED TO DO WHAT!?" Father yelled and started to stalk towards Aunt Rebekah.

"I don't see what the big deal is Kol, we all know that you were lying when you said that she is your daughter. We all know that that can't happen!" She shouted right back to him.

I shake my head, knowing that she was making things worse for herself. She wasn't just getting Uncle Eli mad, but Father more so too, and Father was known for his extreme tempers. So to make things worse was not good.

"Get it into your head already Rebekah that she is my daughter! Can't you see that she looks like me, like all of us!?" Father said, well more like shouted but still.

"Yes I do see that she looks like us but if you look around hard enough you can find anyone that can look like us too!"

You know that you've gone too far when you can get Uncle Eli to break his calm composure.

"My god Rebekah! What do we have to do to prove to you that she is Kol's daughter!?" Uncle Eli said, joining in on the screaming match.

We hear Klaus snort in the back of the room, also standing by as he witnessed the hole that Aunt Rebekah was digging herself into.

"It's Rebekah we are talking about brothers, she won't believe anything until she has actual proof about what she thinks is not real, is real"

Rebekah huffed "I do not," and she stormed out of the room, likely to clean up the mess that was her, from our fight.

When Father calmed down, he walked over to me, "I will be leaving in a hour. How about we spend the time I have, with each other before I leave."

I sighed, not wanting him to leave, "Alright Father." I followed him out of the room, wanting to spend the little time I have left with him before he had to leave.

Well I'm back everybody, I hope you enjoyed the chapter. Tell me your thoughts on this please. :)

Btw; If I were to keep Kol alive in my story, who should I pair him with? Keep in mind though that it's not a guarantee that I will keep him alive though.
