Scarlett's POV
My sisters, Ruby, and I have been remodeling a house since we got here and it's almost finished. Well, we haven't been remodeling it, I hired people to do it.
We take a look around the place before I give the guys a nod.
"It's looking great. Keep up the good work," I say and they nod.
We head to the boarding house and hang out in the living room.
"Who are you?" Penelope asks as Andie Star walks into the room.
"I'm Andie. Damon's girlfriend," she says.
"I think you mean blood bag," Vali says and my sisters and I laugh.
"Damon likes me," she defends.
"Your blood maybe," I say and speed behind her, "Not that I blame him. You smell tasty."
I smirk at my sisters before I run my nose up her neck. I take a deep breath of her scent and she stiffens.
"You can't hurt me. Damon would be angry," she says.
"My bet is: he wouldn't," Penelope says and walks to stand in front of her. She vamps-out and Andie screams.
"Ruby, go to your room," I say and she speeds away.
Damon speeds into the room and looks at us with Andie. He sighs.
"Girls. Please let Andie go," he says.
"Well, since you said please," I say and nod at Penelope.
She smirks before she bites into Andie's neck. Damon speeds over but I grab him by the neck and throw him before he can get to Penelope.
"What are you doing?" Damon says.
"Just having some fun. Pene, let her go," I say and Penelope slowly drops her.
"Get out!" Penelope sneers at her and she takes off running.
"Was that necessary?" Damon asks and I shrug.
Stefan suddenly speeds into the room.
"Elijah and Elena are gone. She undaggered him," Stefan says and whips out his phone.
"Where are you? Are you okay?" he says when the phone picks up.
"Yes, I'm fine," Elena says.
"Where's Elijah?" Stefan says.
"He's right here," Elena says.
"Where? I'm on my way."
"No, Stefan, Elijah and I need some time alone."
"Listen to me. He can't be trusted he'll use you to get to Klaus."
"Elijah is a noble man, Stefan. He lives by a code of honor. I can trust him. He knows that I'd be incredibly stupid to betray him again. By removing the dagger, I have proven myself."
"You can't do this alone."
"It's my decision, Stefan. Please respect it. And make sure that Damon doesn't do anything stupid. I'll be in touch," Elena says and hangs up.
"Did she just hang up on you?" Damon asks. My sisters and I chuckle slightly.
"She did," Stefan confirms.
"She's lost it," Damon says.
"If anyone can get him to help us kill Klaus, it's her," Stefan says.
"Bonnie's the way to kill Klaus, Stefan. He thinks she's dead. We have a chance with her."
"I think you two are putting way too much faith on these little humans," I say and start walking out of the room, my sisters following me.
"We're going to Carol's house, aren't we?" Vali asks as we get in the car.
"How well you know me," I say with a smile," But those two are going to Alaric's."
"Why?" Genevieve asks.
"Damon visits Katherine. I simply want to see if Klaus listened to my warning," I say.
"What warning?" Vali laughs.
"I told him about Damon's plan. You two just stay hidden and listen," I say and they nod.
We walk up to the house and I knock on the door. Carol answers shortly after and I smile at her.
"Hello. I'm Scarlett and this is my sister, Vali. Could we come in?" I say and she gives me a look.
"I'm having a meeting right now," she says.
"We'll only be here for a short period," I compel and she nods.
"Sure. Both of you can come in," she says and I smile at her.
"Thank you," I say and walk past her.
"Yes. Klaus is my brother," I hear Elijah say and we head in that direction.
"I heard that. I'm still processing," Elena says.
"Yes, I'm a little behind on the times, but I believe the term you're searching for is 'O.M.G.'," Elijah says and I giggle, alerting them of my presence.
Elijah stands up and faces us.
"Miss Scarlett and Miss Vali," he says and smiles, "It's lovely to see you again."
"You as well, Elijah," I say and he nods.
"Come. Sit," he says and leads us over to the couches.
"There's a whole family of Originals?" Elena asks after a bit of story time.
"My father was a wealthy land owner in a village in Eastern Europe. Our mother bore seven children," Elijah says.
"So your parents were human?"
"Our whole family was. Our origin as vampires is a very long story, Elena. Just know... We're the oldest vampires in the world. We are the Original family, and from us all vampires were created," he says and throws Vali and I a look.
"Right, but Klaus is your brother. And you want him dead?"
"I need some air. I'm still feeling a tad... dead. Come," he says and we follow him out of the room.
Genevieve's POV
"What are you doing here?" Katherine asks Damon and Andie, while Penelope and I hide in the shadows, listening.
"We are here to rescue you," Andie says and Penelope rolls her eyes.
"No, sweetie. We are here to see if she deserves to be rescued," Damon says.
"Right," Andie says.
"I figured you still might be kicking. Alaric-Klaus was blending way too easily. Figured he probably had some coaching," Damon says.
"Is that...?" Katherine asks as he holds up a bottle.
"Vervain? Your salvation."
"No, it's not," she says.
"Why not?" he asks and she says nothing.
"You can't say. Did he tell you to do absolutely everything he says until the end of time?" Damon asks.
"Yes," she says and he sighs heavily.
"Damn it," he says and turns to Andie, "Come on."
"Nice to meet you," Andie says and closes the door.
They walk down the hallway and I share a smirk with Penelope. We start walking down the hallway and Penelope dances while she walks.
"All we do is win win win, no matter what," she sings, when we get away from Katherine's hearing zone, and I chuckle.
"Got scheming on our minds, we can't ever get enough," I sing back.
"Every time we step into a building, everybody's scared as fuck," she sings and we stop walking.
"And they stay there, and they stay there," I sing and we bust out laughing and start walking away again.
Valentina's POV
"So as you've seen, nothing can kill an Original. Not Sun, not fire, not even a werewolf bite. Only the wood from one tree. A tree my family made sure burned," Elijah says.
"That's where the white ash for the dagger comes from," I say and Elena nods.
"Yes. The witches won't allow anything truly immortal to walk the earth. Every creature needs to have a weakness in order to maintain the balance," Elijah says.
"So the Sun can't kill an Original. Why is Klaus so obsessed with breaking the Sun and Moon curse?" Elena asks.
"Right. The curse of the Sun and the Moon. It's all so... Biblical-sounding, don't you think?" Elijah says and smiles.
"What's so funny?" Elena asks.
Elijah then tells us about the fake drawings that he and Klaus made and put everywhere.
"I don't understand. So Klaus drew the Aztec sketches about the curse?" Elena asks.
"Roman scrolls, African tribal etchings, and any other culture or continent we felt like planting in it," Elijah says.
"But why?" Elena asks.
"Easiest way to discover the existence of a doppelgänger or to get your hands on some long, lost moon stone is to have every single member of two warring species on the lookout," Scarlett says and Elijah nods.
"So it's not Aztec at all?
"The curse of the Sun and the Moon... is fake. It doesn't exist," Elijah says.
"What?" Elena asks.
"Klaus and I faked the Sun and Moon curse dating back over a thousand years," Elijah says.
"But if there's no curse..." Elena says.
"There's a curse. Just not that one. The real one's much worse. It's a curse placed on Klaus," Scarlett says with a far-off look in her eyes and I can tell she's been having memories of before her curse was broken.
"What are you talking about?" Elena asks.
"Klaus has been trying to break it for the last thousand years. And you are his only hope," Elijah says.
Elena's phone starts vibrating in Elijah's pocket.
"What is this curse?" Elena says and the phone is still vibrating.
"Your phone will not stop its incessant buzzing. Answer it, please," he says and gives Elena the phone.
"Stefan… what's wrong? No. No, no, no, no. Okay, I'll be right there," she says.
"Klaus went after Jenna. I have to go to her," Elena says.
"I'm afraid that wasn't part of today's arrangement," Elijah says.
"She's my family, Elijah. I have to. I'll be back. You have my word," Elena says.
"That doesn't mean anything to me until you live up to it," Elijah says.
"I'll go with her," Scarlett says and Elena smiles.
"Thank you," Elena says and they run to her car.
Elijah turns to me as the car drives away.
"It's been a long time since I've seen you last," he says and I nod.
"Too long," I say with a smile.
He steps closer and takes my face in his hands. He leans closer and my breath hitches in my throat. His lips meet mine and I kiss him back with equal force. He leans back and smiles at me.
"Too long indeed," he says.
Third Person POV: Lynchburg, Virginia 1885
"Why do we stay here sister?" Valentina asks.
"You know I didn't want to do the sacrifice until he was older. He was only a baby when we arrived," Scarlett answers.
"Yes, but he has been of age for many years now," Valentina says.
"I like it here. It's peaceful," Scarlett answers, "And don't pretend you don't have your own reasons for wanting to stay."
Scarlett looks across the street at the new man who has just came to town. Valentina flusters and berates her sister.
"Stop staring," Valentina demands.
"It is a wonderful sight to see," Scarlett says, ignoring her sister's request.
The man looks up and smiles when he notices the two staring at him. Scarlett smiles broadly while Valentina gives a shy smile.
"Enough, Scarlett," Valentina says.
Scarlett looks at her sister and smirks before walking towards the man. Valentina freezes with her eyes wide open before quickly following after her sister. The man's mouth twitches in amusement before he walks forward to meet the girls halfway.
"Hello. I apologize if this is too bold, but my sister and I couldn't help but notice you are a new addition to our town," Scarlett says and the man nods.
"Elijah Mikaelson," the man says and pulls Scarlett's hand to his mouth for a kiss.
The two girls stiffen and Scarlett smiles tightly.
"Mikaelson? As in the Original Elijah?" Scarlett asks quietly.
"Yes, ma'am," he says and the girls quickly curtsey in respect, something that makes Elijah give an approving nod.
"I'm Scarlett Luxton and this is my sister Valentina Luxton," Scarlett says and Elijah smile before kissing Valentina's hand as well.
"It's lovely to meet you both. Now if I'm not mistaken, you have two other sisters. Is that correct?" he asks.
"Yes, but how did you... You've heard of us," Scarlett says in understanding.
"I've heard some. I've also learned about you both from the townspeople," he says, "Vervain free the lot of them, but they do notice your non-aging appearances. Which brings the question as to why you've been here for so long."
Scarlett shares a look with her sister before they nod at Elijah.
"Come with us. We have much to discuss," Scarlett says and Elijah nods before following the girls through the town.
Scarlett's POV
"Oh, Jenna, thank God," Elena exclaims when we enter her house.
"No," Jenna says.
"I'm so sorry. I never meant for any of this to happen," Elena says.
"When I was little, your mom used to tell me bedtime stories. Stories about vampires. I never thought that what she said could be true," Jenna says.
"It is true, Jenna. I should have told you. I thought that if you didn't know, you'd be safe. But then things got so out of control and everything I had done to keep you out of it, it just blew up in my face," Elena says.
"Who else knows? Jeremy?" Jenna asks and Elena nods. "John?"
"We were just trying to protect you," Elena says.
"Protect me?" Jenna asks.
"I'm so sorry. I will tell you everything," Elena says.
"No, Elena... I am the one who's supposed to be protecting you and Jeremy," Jenna says.
"I know, but there's nothing that you could have done. There's so much more to it…" Elena says.
"No, this is- this is so… I don't know how… it's…" Jenna says and starts crying.
I question myself as to why I offered to come and roll my eyes.
"I know. Hey!" Elena says.
"Why didn't you tell me?! I'm scared," Jenna says.
Elena sits down next to her and embraces her.
"I know. I know. I know, hey. Hey. I'm sorry. Jenna, I am so, so sorry," Elena says and I slowly back out of the room.
I bump into something and spin around to see Stefan standing behind me with tears in his eyes.
"Hey," he says quietly.
Third Person POV: Mystic Falls 1863
"I hope you all enjoy your stay here," Mr. Salvatore tells the four young vampires.
"Thank you, Mr. Salvatore," Valentina says.
"Please. Giuseppe," he says and gestures to the boys behind him.
"These are my sons, Stefan and Damon. They will be showing you around," he says and the girls nod.
Giuseppe walks away, leaving his sons at the mercy of the vampires.
"Hello," Scarlett says, smiling, and holds her hand out to the youngest Salvatore, who smiles.
"Hello," he says and grabs her hand, placing a kiss on the top of it.
Scarlett's POV: Present Day
"Hey," I say, smiling slightly at the memories of Stefan that have been returning. Apparently we dated which is 'wow'.
"Don't give me that look," he says and I tilt my head in confusion.
"What?" I ask.
"That's the look you used to give me. I'm with Elena now... I can't-" he says and I chuckle, which cuts him off.
"I was simply remembering the good times, Stefan. I don't want you. And even so, Elena has you and Damon. Why can't you have two?" I ask with a smirk.
"Elena and Damon aren't-" he says and I snort, again cutting him off.
"You don't really believe that, do you?" I ask and wink before spinning around.
Elena is walking into the room but stops when she sees us together. I smirk and walk past her.
"I have to go. See you later, Elena," I say and walk out of the room.
I pass Damon and Andie on my way down the porch.
"Where are you going?" Damon asks and I chuckle mysteriously.
"That's for me to know and you to..." I say punctuating my sentence with a wink and speeding away.
Valentina's POV
"Welcome back," Elijah says as Elena comes towards us.
"Where's Scarlett?" I ask.
"I thought she'd be here. She left," Elena says.
'Where could she have gone?'
"Tell me. What is Klaus' curse?" Elena asks and takes off her jacket.
"Please," Elijah says and gestures for Elena to sit across from us and she does.
"My family was quite close, but Klaus and my father did not get on too well. When we became vampires, we discovered the truth. Klaus was not my father's son. My mother had been unfaithful many years before. This was her darkest secret. Klaus is from a different bloodline. Of course, when my father discovered this, he hunted down and he killed my mother's lover and his entire family. Not realizing, of course, that he was igniting a war between species that rages until this day," Elijah says and I think of poor Scarlett.
"A war between the species?" Elena asks.
"The vampires... and the werewolves," Elijah says.
"So Klaus' real father was from a werewolf bloodline? What does that make Klaus? A werewolf? Or a vampire?"
"He's both. A hybrid would be deadlier than any werewolf or vampire. Nature would not stand for such an imbalance of power. Therefore the witches, the servants of nature, saw to it that my brother's werewolf side would become dormant," Elijah says.
"That's the curse that Klaus wants to break?"
"He wants to trigger that part of him that's a werewolf. If allowed, Klaus would sire his own bloodline. He'd build his own race. Endangering not just vampires, but everyone," Elijah says.
"But you helped him?" Elena asks.
"I helped him because I loved him. That's changed. Now he must die," Elijah says.
"We have the dagger now. We can stop him," Elena says.
"When a werewolf is wounded by silver, it heals. An Original can't be killed by anything but white oak ash on a silver dagger. So you see the conundrum. The dagger does not work," Elijah says.
"What, are you saying that Klaus can't be killed?" Elena asks.
"There's one way to kill any supernatural species… at the hands of the servants of nature themselves," Elijah says.
"A witch if they can channel that much power. But it would kill them," Elena says.
"The curse must be broken during the full moon. When Klaus is in transition. That's when he'll be at his most vulnerable. A witch with enough power... can kill Klaus," Elijah says.
"What if I told you that I knew a witch that could channel that much power?" Elena asks.
"Then I would tell you there's one more thing that you should know," Elijah says and launches into another story.
"You found a way to save the life of the doppelgänger?" Elena asks.
"Yes, Elena. I did. But unfortunately, Katerina took matters into her own hands first. I believe you already know how that played out," Elijah says.
"You cared about her, didn't you?" Elena asks and Elijah looks at me.
"I did. Not as much as I thought I did though," he says and gives Elena her jacket.
He nods at me and I stand up to follow him.
"Now you've invited him in?" Damon is asking when I walk into the room.
"Elijah and I have renewed the terms of our deal," Elena says.
"Really?" Damon asks.
"The two of you will come to no harm at my hands. I only ask for one thing in return," Elijah says and I smile in amusement.
"What?" Damon asks.
"An apology," Elijah says.
"A what?" Damon asks and Stefan gets closer to them.
"I'm sorry for the part that I played in your death. I was protecting Elena. I will always protect Elena," Stefan says.
"I understand," Elijah says.
"The sacrifice is going to happen, Damon. Bonnie will be able to kill Klaus without hurting herself and Elijah knows how to save my life. I told you I'd find another way. And I did," Elena says and a thought jolts me in surprise.
I close my eyes tightly and attempt not to hit myself for my stupidity.
"Is that true?" Damon asks.
"It is," Elijah says.
"And you're trusting him?" Damon asks Elena.
"I am," she says.
"You can all go to hell," Damon says and leaves.
"He's angry with me right now. But he'll come around," Stefan says looking at Elijah.
"Perhaps," Elijah says.
"I should probably say something," I say and they all turn to me.
"Yes?" Elijah asks.
"I've just realized where Scarlett went," I say and give Elijah a look.
He looks confused before he tightens his jaw in frustration.
"Klaus," he says and I nod.
Scarlett's POV
I stand in the doorway of Alaric's apartment watching Klaus step out of the box. No one's even noticed my presence so far. They're too focused on their mighty leader, I suppose.
"Now that's more like it," Klaus says and I chuckle, because Klaus is great.
Everyone snaps their head towards me, including Klaus, and I slow clap with a smirk.
"It's an improvement I'd say. Ric smirking is so not threatening. No offense," I say and wink at Ric.
Klaus turns to Ric and nods towards the bedroom.
"Go sit on your bed," he says and Ric nods before quickly walking towards his bedroom.
Klaus turns back to me and smirks.
"What do we have here?" Klaus asks and vamp-speeds to me, pulling me into the room and slamming the door shut.
"You continue to help me and I know nearly nothing about you," he says before looking into my eyes intensely, "Why?"
"Oh, that's not going to work. I can't be compelled," I say and he tilts his head.
"Vervain?" he asks.
"Not quite," I say and he narrows his eyes at me.
"Then what?" he demands.
I chuckle before I vamp-out, causing his eyes to widen dramatically.
He grabs my face in his hands and strokes the veins under my eyes. He runs a hand to my mouth and pulls down my bottom lip with his thumb. I pull back my lips so he can see my fangs and he runs his thumb over a fang, pressing hard enough to break his skin, making his blood leak into my mouth.
I widen my eyes at not only the taste, but also the fact that he's letting me have his blood. I pull my face back and he quickly reclaims it in his hands, the amazement on his face never leaving.
"Leave. All of you. Out!" he demands and they quickly exit the apartment, except for Katherine, who remains on the couch.
I change my face back and chuckle at the speed the people left.
"You're a hybrid. How?" he asks, leading me to the couch, shooing Katherine to an arm-chair, and sitting us both down, his hands never leaving my face.
"Could you get your hands off of me?" I ask and he chuckles before pulling them back in surrender.
"Tell me how you're a hybrid," he demands and I raise an eyebrow.
"Manners, Niklaus," I say and he looks at me in shock.
"How did you know that?" he asks.
"Your brother is a lovely man," I say and he glares at me.
"You're helping me for Elijah? This is a plot to kill me. Get out," he says, standing and pointing towards the door.
I give him an unamused look and simply cross my legs.
"Well, they are planning to kill you, but I am not. I'm actually here to help. I know what it's like to have part of you locked up," I say and he slowly sits down next to me, "Of course, you have lived with it for much longer then I have, considering you're older and I broke my curse in 1885."
He looks at Katherine and glares at her, causing me to chuckle.
"Go sit in the bathroom. Do not communicate to Alaric in anyway," he says and she stands up before walking into Ric's room.
"I recommend taking a metal post and stabbing her in the ribs into a brick wall before bricking a wall around her," I say, stealing Marcel's brilliance.
He looks impressed and smirks.
"I may have to do that. Tell me more about you and your curse," he says, relaxing farther into the couch.

They mesh well together.

:) Thank you.
hirinoutaka-
I was thinking about that actually.
ddluzelle-
So evil :) hahaha
bug813-
That would be interesting. I do think Vali will be with Elijah, but I don't think the other girls will be with the other Original boys. If you haven't already figured it out: Vali is like Elijah, Penelope is like Kol, Scarlett is like Klaus, and Genevieve is like Rebekah.
Elizabeth Mikaelson-
Vali and Elijah are alike, and sometimes opposites do attract, but it depends on the personality. I think you'll find Vali isn't completely like Elijah, she just doesn't think people should die for no reason. Vali doesn't like Kol either, so that'd be pushing it. That wouldn't work out at all. You have to remember that they already know about these people and they have an idea of who they like already. Matt and Penelope being together is kind of like Damon and Stefan with Elena. Also, Penelope and Stefan is a very bad idea, not worse than Vali and Kol, but still bad. Penelope is crazy and Stefan is sweet unless he's Ripper Stefan. Genevieve and Jeremy are so cute; I agree haha.
CobraQueen35-
Vali doesn't like Kol.
xxxLeanniexxx-
Yes. She's making it up as she goes.
