"Kol, for the last time I cannot turn you back into a witch. This is permanent." Mother states.

"How come Kalle gets to keep her powers but I cannot!" Kol screams angered.

"I don't know! If I did, you really believe I would have turned you into blood-sucking creatures? You were all supposed to be like Kalle, but that's not how it turned out, okay?" Mother says angrily.

"I should be practicing my magic. I should be becoming a powerful witch but because of you and father's stupid decision-"

Mother then slapped the table where my brother was sitting with a stick. He quickly shut his mouth, knowing that he had angered mother.

"Do not speak ill of your parents, Kol." Mother states in a stern voice.

I stayed seated in the corner, watching as this all happened. This corner has been where I spend most of my time lately. After my siblings turned, everything had been different. They didn't act the same as they once did. It didn't even bother me about the fact that they had to suck the blood out of people or animals, but it's how they had changed. All their flaws, were suddenly highlighted. They still treated me as their sister. But it was just different. I wanted things to go back to the way they were. When we were all the same. When my siblings could go out in the sunlight without that stupid ring. When we could hurt ourselves, without it magically healing. When I could do magic with my brother. When everyone wasn't so angry all the time.

But it won't. No matter how many times I wish they would.

"Mother, I just wish to be a witch again." Kol stated in a calmer tone.

"I know." Mother places her stick against the wall and gets on her knees to reach Kol's eye level. "I never meant for this to happen. I have tried many times to reverse it, but nothing will work. I am sorry for putting this on you. But you are still my child." Mother states as she grabs his hand.

"And she is still your sister." I realize that my mother is now talking about me. She has her hand out for me to grab. I get up from my corner and head to her and Kol. She grabs my hand too.

"You are both my children, I will still do anything to protect my children. You must know that. I am so sorry for bringing this on the both of you. But know that whenever you are in a sticky situation, it will be hard to get out of it, but not impossible." Mother states shaking our hand and we both crack a little smile.

"I understand my mother." Kol finally states. He then looks up at me. "I am sorry, sister, if I made you feel uncomfortable. I never meant for that. But even if I cannot do magic, I will continue to help you become a powerful witch, like we promised each other."

I smiled at Kol's words. A big weight seemed to lift off my shoulders. For the last few days, I had believed my brother no longer cared for me. That he was angry I had a power that he no longer had. But he was angry he had that power taken away from him. My brother still truly cared for me. I could see it in his eyes.

I was about to answer him, but then I heard yelling coming from outside. It wasn't just any voice; it was my father's. We had gotten used to his loud and angry voice, and even after he turned it down, it never really changed. I guess that speaks volumes about how much of a monster he really is.

But the thing is, I have never heard our father so angry. Kol finally stands up, startled by our father's voice. I look up at him, trying to make sure I wasn't imagining it, and I realize he was thinking the same thing. Father sounded like he was going to kill someone.

I finally looked up at my mother, whose face confused me. She didn't seem scared; she had never been afraid of our father. She didn't look angry either. She looked as if she had been waiting for this to happen. As if she knew it would. The only person who could usually make my father angry was Niklaus, but never this angry.

Mother, Kol, and I finally make our way outside. When we arrive outside, all we see is father and Elijah holding Nik to the ground. Rebekah trying to make them let go of Niklaus, but Finn is holding her back.

"Let him go! Let him go!" Rebekah screams over and over again. Finn keeps a stoic face the entire time, just trying to keep Rebekah back.

"Sister, please this is for his own good." Finn states with no emotion in his eyes.

"Elijah? What are you doing?" Kol asked. Elijah doesn't even look at us. He just keeps his focus on Niklaus. "Mother, Elijah won't remove his hands from our brother."

"ENOUGH KOL!" Father finally speaks in his loud tone, which startles Kol. "Your brother is helping to save us from this foul creature." What is he talking about? Father then locks eyes with mother. Usually mother is the only person he shows a little love to, but this time, his eyes are just filled with anger.

"Mother, what's happening?" I look up to my mother, confused and scared.

Mother continued to stare at the situation, ignoring my statement. "We need to fix this. Bring him to the far back of the woods in a half hour." I tried to talk to her, but she made her way inside immediately after.

"You heard him, Elijah. Let's move it." Father stated. Rebekah and Kol knew better than to yell at our father, so instead they started screaming at Elijah to let Nik free. But I couldn't process anything that was happening, as all I could focus on was the name our father had called our brother.

"It". As if our brother were an object. No, what father called him earlier. A foul creature.

Niklaus finally looks up from the ground and makes direct eye contact with me.

His face, it looks as if he was dragged through mud. I can see the clear pain on his face, a face I have only seen when he disappointed father. But multiplied by ten. The black veins surround his eyes, the blood dripping from his mouth.

But nothing on his face was as shocking as his eyes. They were different. They were no longer the dark brown color he was born with.

They were yellow. The same as werewolves.

"HELP ME SISTER! YOU HAVE THE POWER TO STOP HIM!" Niklaus screams at me. I can hear the pain in his voice, the fear. I know what my mother has planned is not good. That what my father is leading him to will destroy him. I have to help him. Why can't I?

"SHUT UP, BOY!" My father kicks him and doesn't stop. He does it repeatedly, over and over again.

"STOP IT! PLEASE!" Rebekah screams finally pushing Finn out of the way, and runs to Nik. Father quickly just throws her away and she falls to the ground.

"Sister!" Kol ran to her side, making sure Rebekah was okay. Finn stood there, shocked that their father had hit Rebekah. Elijah looked conflicted as if he knew something the rest of them didn't.

Father continues to beat Klaus, until Elijah just snaps Nik's neck. "That's enough. Let's just bring him to mother."

Elijah and Father make their way to the back of the woods, while Rebekah and Kol try to follow, but Finn stops the both of them.

"Kalle! Do something!" Rebekah screams at me.

Why could I not do something?

I stood there, watching this all happen, and I could not even mutter a single word.

I could not take a single step.

I was frozen. I could not move. My brother is in pain, and I could of stopped it. I could of done something.

Why didn't I?

Finn was not allowing Kol, Rebekah or I to the woods. I could not even use my magic as mother would stop me. We were useless. If I did something earlier, before they went to mother, I could of stopped whatever was about to happen.

Later in the evening, all I could hear was screaming. And it did not stop. It went on for a hour.

Even afterwards, I could not get those screams out of my head, as it haunted me for the rest of the night.

This was truly the night everything changed.
