Chapter three

"So how was living with Uncle James?" Ashley asked her younger sister.

"Fun, but I really missed you, Henry, mom, and the big guy." Haley answered wrapping her arm around her sister as they walk toward Henry's lab. Even though there was a ten year gap between them in age, they were as close as they would have been had they been born as twins. They looked alike, with them both having blonde hair, their mother's looks, their fathers eyes, they were both like their dad in attitude, but Haley was the closest to his personality.

"Well, we missed you too. Hey did you get you know, under control?" Ashley asked with a nod to her sister.

"Yep, with the help of Uncle James and a few others, what about you? Do you have control?" at the look on Ashley's face she quickly said, "I meant the whole vampire and teleporting thing, not the you part, I knew you had that, I wouldn't even ask that." Haley said giving Ashley a small squeeze of the hand as they reached the transport pods.

"Yea, wait why are we walking?"

"Because you were gunna show me around? But I really wanna see Henry! So erm- you wanna do the honours or shall I?" Haley said with a smile.

"I'll do it because I know the layout." Ashley said returning the smile. God she'd missed her sister, she had been gone from her for like four to five years! He may be only fifteen but she was the best sparring partner there was. Ashley grabbed her hand and they dematerialized in a blue swirl of light and then rematerialized in Henry's new lab.

"Henry!" Haley said as soon as they rematerialized, causing him to jump and drop whatever it was he had in his hand.

"Haley?" Henry said spinning around and looking at her. "I thought you were dead!" he said coming over and giving her a hug.

"Yeah well you know us Magnus women, never staying dead." She said with a cheeky smile.

"When did you get here?"

"Just now, brought dad with me, I think he and mom are talking." Haley said sitting down in a chair. Just then an explosion went off in another lab, and Haley groaned. "Don't tell me, Nikola's here." She said as a statement not a question.

"Sadly yes, mom insisted on letting him stay. Apparently she kissed him before she blew up our home. And now he won't leave." Ashley informed her.

"Well there goes mom and dad getting back together," Haley said.

"Not necessarily, I wager mom falls for dad again before she takes anything serious with Niko first." Ashley said with a smile while getting up to leave the lab.

"If she hasn't already." Haley said with hopeful smile following her out of the lab.

A/N: sorry for the short chapters, but I think for this story it works quite well
