2010

" Why do you want to kill your own brother? I dont understand." Hope asked Elijah , calmly atleast she thought she was calm. They were taking a walk in lockwood mansion by the lake. it had been so many weeks since Stefanie and her had been here in this timeline. Elijah and his side of warlock joined them against Klaus which made Hope really upset . She didn't know what to do but she couldn't say no to the Warlock family because they were unaware of the fact that Greta was working for Klaus. Only good thing that happened to her that Warlock family had many sets of grimoires through which she was trying to make potions which could make The Originals unconscious like her aunt Daveena did once . Potion was a success because it made Elijah unconscious but the part where Slater was compelled to drink the potion ,he died very painfully hours later.This meant only one thing , it could make The Original weak but it was be fatal and deadly for a normal vampire. Hope created the potion so Elijah doesn't kill her father. Also it would buy them time to get a solution to save Elena without John sacrificing himself for her and also get Nadia. But John and Damon made things difficult for themselves. Same thing happened but this time , Stefanie didn't let them dagger Elijah but he got a whiff about it. So , he wanted to kill them both only Hope and Stefanie convinced him not to. Damon and John were safe but they hated each other. Only thing they had in common was their dislike for MJ. John didn't like Ella but Damon was protective of her which made MJ sigh in relief except it didn't help the relationship of MJ and Damon. This was making her sad and she just told herself that he wasn't her father.So ,she was leaving for New Orleans for a much needed break with Sam . Hope was suspicious of him and still was but he was polite enough to help her with magic. He was good with MJ but there was something she couldn't point her finger on. He was older than her father but he was alive and that too in the physical age of a 21 year old. That kind of thing could only happen if he was cursed but he didn't any sign. Other thing could be that he had huge amount of magic.

Elijah just looked at her and smiled. Though she was a kid but he couldn't understand the question. So , he answered.

" When Niklaus and my other brothers and sister became the beasts everyone fears we promised each other, ' Always and forever'. I wanted to live by that promised but my brother kept daggering my sister and brothers and now I don't know where they are.Probably , they are dead somewhere so I just want to make my brother pay for his deeds Not my brother , that monster."

He went into a deep thought. Hope clear her throat throat and asked something.

" Don't you think that people are worth redeeming? I mean there is good in people . Don't you believe in that?"

" I believed that but somehow that belief became just a lie to comfort myself that my brother is worth redeeming. That hope that my brother can be good , that he can abide by the promise of always and forever , I have ceased to believe in that belief."

Hope remained silent and hoped that whatever they were planning worked out for everyone.

" Are you crazy ? Klaus in Ric's body?'' Damon asked Hope, frustrated. As he thought about this , he realized the strange behavior of his friend. He was suspiciously quiet most of the time even when Damon suggested to kill John even as a joke. Bad joke, actually. Elena heard him and got angry with him. Another thing that bothered Damon was the way Ric kept staring at Elena in weird way.

" Yes, this happened in the past and also happening right now. But I have a plan." Hope crossed her arms as Elena and Stefan joined them in the library.

" What about Vamp Girl? Don't want to report to her?" Damon asked which made Hope roll her eyes.

" I am leaving for a week or two but be careful. And don't put the moonstone in soap by the washbasin. "

As she packed her bags, Damon wasn't interested to talk to her.

" How did you know that I am gonna do that ? It is a genius plan."

"I think it was until Katherine stumbled on it. Also tell John that Isobel works for Katherine. Here, Hope will help with all the stuff and plan."

" So , what do we need to now?She is gone for more than two weeks." Damon was already suspicious of her and 'her trip' was creating more doubts in his mind. She was always staring at Elena which made him think that maybe she wanted to have Elena. When he would get the time , he go check the room where she was staying in. Other thing was that she didn't need any invitation when they made Elena the sole owner of the boarding house.

Hope started to explain the plan.

" When he comes , we are going to pretend that we have no plan and that we are going to handover Elena. We would see his reaction and both of you should be full of vervain , so he can't compel you. We are going to let him leave because later he is going reveal his identity. But he knows that we are going to give up Elena so he will come back but in his real body and that is where my potion comes."

" How can we trust to you? " Stefan asked but before Hope could answer

, Bonnie replied as she joined them too.

"We can."

Everyone was done planning but Damon had his work to do. He swiftly entered the room where vamp girl was staying but he saw Ella in the room. She looked sad maybe because she was missing her sister.He stood there but she didn't look up. She was sitting on the floor by the bedleg. The kid was usually chirpy and happy. She didn't judge him but she didn't know him much. But for some reason , he wanted to keep her safe and smiling. One day , he shouted at her by mistake because she spilled his drink on the carpet. She didn't talk to him , which made him miserable. He apologized to her. Yes , The Damon Salvatore apologized to a kid but it was worth it. She made him promise to never shout at her or get angry at her. Once he promised and he gifted her a lots of candies and choco chip cookies , he got a sweet kiss on his cheek. She smiled at him and he was afraid to her his true self .

He walked to her and sat by her side, with folded legs. She turned and looked at him , sadness was pouring out of her face. His brows furrowed as he noticed the tears forming in her eyes.

"Hey kiddo! What happened?" Damon took her small hands in his hands. She looked him in the eye and tears started to pour out.

" I don't like it here. " Damon left her hands and took her in his arms.

" Why don't you like it here?" He asked her . Her face was red and her nose started to drip. He left her and quickly came back with a box of tissues. He cleaned her nose and her face.

" Fannie is not home! She didn't call me. Mom doesn't kiss dad." She started to bawl. He shushed her and finally asked.

" Dad!?" He was confused. What mom and Dad?

" She keeps kissing Stefan. It is a bad bad ..." She kept saying something else and slept in his arms after some time. He lifted her up and put her in bed.

Or maybe Vamp Girl was Elena's daughter.

"I think I know who is MJ and Ella are.and why Bonnie trusted them." Damon stated to Stefan. He took Stefan away so he could tell what he discovered. This was hard thing for him because he looked at Ella's face carefully.It crossed his mind for some reason that she looked like Little Elena. Why MJ was trying so hard to keep them alive. How MJ knew everything. Future Elena would have told her.

" What do you mean? and You are calling her MJ. What happened about Vamp Girl!? " Stefan asked.

Stefan himself had a lot of problems. For instance , he achieved a triumph over his bloodlust. But he was lusting on Elena's blood and couldn't stay away from her much longer. But he kept his distance. Elena was acting strange which made him think that Damon compelled her . She wasn't talking much to him . She was moody with him lately. Another thing was Mason Lockwood. He was with Jenna and his friends came to visit him. Damon pissed one of them. Jules. On the full moon. She came by and bit Rose as she sheilded him. Luckily, Hope was there and her blood was The cure. Atleast , they didn't have to worry about. Hope made Rose a daylight ring and a ring which gave an illusion of someone else. Rose left to keep oceans between her and Klaus.

" It will bother you."

"How?"

" Because Ella and MJ are your girl's children." A silence followed and Stefan broke it by punching Damon.

" I know you aren't happy to see me and Elena together. So, stop this bullshit."

" This is the truth. Ella was crying and..." He told Stefan what he heard. This certainly had an effect on him.

He was really silent. He spoke.

" Vampires don't procreate. And have you seen MJ's eyes. They look like...

" Busboy's." Damon spitted. It was tough for him too. They knew that Elena didn't want to be a vampire but they didn't think that she would move on and get married and have kids. That too with Matt. This meant that He and Elena never had a chance.She loved his brother and they wouldn't be together forever. She would leave him. This was heartbreaking.

Stefan sat down on the bench and Damon sat by his side. He patted his brother's shoulder.

" But the good thing is that Elena will be alive and lead a happy life.'' Stefan stated and sighed.

" It is our duty to keep her daughters safe. " Stefan looked at Damon in the eye and he could just simply nod. Damon realized that he wasn't nice to MJ . She wasn't exactly either but she wasn't bitter to him. She was a kid. She was Elena's age but she was a kid. He couldn't think of her an adult but only as Elena's daughter. He would keep Ella safe for the time being here.

2012

"If we are going to do this , we have to do it ourselves." Lizzie told Josie.They had discussed a plan with their dad. They will have vampire blood in their body.If any twin dies from the Merge , that twin will have the Cure. After taking the cure , they would extract the cure and give back to whoever needs it.

They were in Nova Scotia to get the cure. No one knew that they were going to be here. As soon as they reached the cave. They saw a somewhat similar figure. Their mom? They were warned that they will see something like this so they had to ignore it. They moved forward as many figures came by. MJ's , Hope's, MG's and many more. They reached near the cure.

" You wait here." Josie told Lizzie who stayed behind for a lookout.

Josie was about to grab it but someone grab her throat and shoved on a tomb. She felt teeth on her neck and felt her getting away. She could hear the faint sound of Katherine and her sister fighting. She tried to stand up but someone snapped her neck and darkness overcame her. Lizzie looked at her dead sister and the figure that killed her Silas. Her sister will wake up as she had vampire blood but they needed the cure. She saw Katherine taking it away and vamping out. Silas was coming towards them and Lizzie stood up as she tried to recover the death of her sister. She jumped towards Silas . Before she could siphon , he came towards her and she screamed. A ghastly face was all there to see. Before he could snap her neck, a white light came and took her and dead sister away.
