"Please explain why I have to go to a stuffy tea party. Why can't you take Rose?" Hazel whined to Damon.

"Because I need your help and you love me" Damon grinned, "Also, I need to figure out if John Gilbert is setting me up. He gave me a dagger that can kill an Original."

Hazel was automatically suspicious. "I'm going to say it's a trap. Why would he help you? Doesn't make sense, at all."

Damon nodded, "Yeah, that's what I figured. We're still going." He smiled as he pulled her to the car.

"Will you take me car shopping? I have no clue what to get but I definitely need my own." Hazel asked on the drive.

"Yes! Please don't say you want a girly little car." Damon whined.

"No" she laughed, "I think I want an SUV but I'm not sure what kind. I know the trunk space is good for hauling bodies."

"That would worry me if it wasn't a possibility we would need it" He joked.

Walking into the Lockwood residence, Hazel gripped Damons arm. "Don't leave me alone with these people.

He laughed as he led her to Carol. "Carol, lovely party." Hazel greeted the woman next and then noticed who she was standing with.

"This is Elijah Smith, he's an author and is writing about small towns." Carol explained to them. Hazel knew exactly who this man was and she really hoped Damon didn't manage to piss him off.

~~~~

Entering a room, Elijah looked to Damon, "Where's Elena."

"Safe with Stefan. Care to tell us why you're here." Damon asked.

Hazel rolled her eyes and sat on the sofa and watched them. She knew this wouldn't go well, Damon could manage to piss off a saint. She watched them 'talk' and then Elijah must have had enough because he stabbed Damon in the neck with a pencil. Hazel moved to him, checking him over.

"What the hell" she glared at Elijah. Damon wouldn't die from the wound but still, rude. Making sure all of the wood was out, she returned her glare to Elijah. "What is your problem? Fucking men" she muttered the last part.

"Who are you? I don't recall you being on the list of Elena's loved ones." Elijah stared at her.

Hazel rolled her eyes, grabbing a glass from a bar cart, she cut her wrist and let the blood fill it. Handing the glass to Damon, she looks back to Elijah, "I wouldn't be. I'm his" she motioned to Damon.

Elijah looked surprised, "You're with Damon?"

"No, ewe. Why does everyone assume that" Hazel huffs, "He raised me" Damon handed her the glass back so she could clean it. She never left her blood behind.

Elijah watched the two before giving Damon one last threat and leaving.

Hazel glared, "I'm leaving" he nods but follows her out.

~~~~

"Why does your blood make me feel like I'm high?" Damon asked while Alaric poured the two men drinks.

Hazel shrugged, "Might be from my magic. Who knows." She kicks her feet into his lap.

"I don't think I would trust that dagger and ash. You already pissed Elijah off, don't need to more" Alaric told Damon while Hazel nodded in agreement.

"Probably not smart." Hazel yawned and cuddled in.

Alaric stood, "I've got to go get Jenna."

"You need to tell her the truth." Hazel sat up and looked to Alaric. "People who are kept ignorant always end up dead."

He wasn't sure how to respond, "She's safer not"

"No! If she doesn't know to be wary, she will end up dead." Hazel cut him off.

"I'll think about it" he replies and heads for the door, "Night" they both wave him off.

A loud crash sounds out and they jump. Damon looks to Hazel, "Stay here" he starts towards the door. He finds Ric, stabbed and is about to call out to Hazel when someone drops from the ceiling and stabs him with a needle filled with vervain.

Hazel hears the commotion and rushes to help but is caught by one of the wolves.

"Well, it seems we just keep running into each other." Jules says, coming inside.

Hazel went to reach for her wand when everything goes dark.

Damon woke tied to a chair. He looked around, seeing Ric on the floor and Hazel on the couch. Her neck was at an awkward angle. "Hazel" he called out, she wasn't moving or breathing, "Hazel."

"Oh, she's dead" Jules walks forward, "I'm sure that upsets you."

"She's human" Damon glares. The others look unsure but Jules only smiles.

~~~~

Hazel's eyes open in the white room. "Son of a bitch" she rubs her neck.

"You're back awfully soon." Death smirks.

"Yeah yeah. Fucking werewolves." She growls.

Death moves closer, "Why not use my gifts?"

"I may have forgot" she says sheepishly. "Plus, the cloak was in my room."

Death glares, "You're my Mistress, you have the power to summon them." Shaking his head, he places a bony hand on her wrist. When he pulls away, only his symbol remains. "Now, my gifts are now a part of you."

Hazel's surprised, "So, I won't need my wand anymore?" Death shakes his head, "That will make things a lot easier."

"Mistress, death is coming and you either need to be prepared or find a way to stop it." Death looks around, "You're healed. Try not to visit so soon."

~~~~

She could hear people talking, her limbs were still heavy, so she didn't try to move. One voice made her perk up, why was Elijah here? Squinting her eyes open, she could see Damon tied to a chair with a spiked collar on his neck.

Hazel could hear fighting and then watched Elijah break the chains holding Damon. Sitting up, she caught Elijah's surprised look when he turned around to see her.

"You were dead" Elijah says.

Shrugging her shoulders, Hazel replies, "Now I'm not." Elijah still looks at her funny before leaving.

Damon removes the collar and rushes over to check her. "Are you okay? I thought" he pulled her into a hug.

"I'm good. I told you I would come back" she squeezed him before leaning back, "What about him?" she asks, pointing to Ric.

"He'll wake soon." Damon starts to clean the room up.

"I spoke with Death" Damon turns to look at her, "He said death's coming, but I can stop it."

"How can you stop it?"

Hazel stands and begins to pace, "Okay, so Elijah doesn't actually have the real moonstone. I do" seeing he's going to say something, she quickly continues, "I've seen things, the stone showed me how it was bound. I can stop death if I can get Niklaus to listen."

"What about Elijah?" Damon asks.

Hazel shakes her head, "Elijah wants to kill Niklaus. I can speak with him and get him to see that my way is the right way." Looking to Ric, she adds, "He needs to tell Jenna. If I'm being warned, then it will be the innocent's death is coming for."

"Okay, how are you going to find him?" Damon asks.

"I'm a witch Day, I'll find him" she smirks as he rolls his eyes at her.

"Fine" he huffs.

~~~~

Hazel was looking at New York in the daylight. She liked it better at night, the lights gave it that little extra dazzle. Finding the alley she had been grabbed in was more difficult that she had thought it would be.

Damon was mad that she wouldn't let him tag along. Hazel knew Niklaus would kill Day, so she wanted to make sure that didn't happen. Since she no longer needed her wand, Hazel could use her magic, and no one could tell. Point me and locator spells were amazing little things.

Hazel had narrowed her target down to an art gallery. She was not dressed to go in a place like that. Stepping into another alley, she made sure no one was looking and transfigured her clothes. Now in a dress and heels, she entered the gallery.

This was the type of place rich people gathered. Hazel could appreciate good artwork but definitely didn't belong here. Taking a pamphlet, she began to look around. She had paused in front of a beautiful painting. It looked like a castle, kind of like Hogwarts. Hazel knew it wasn't, but it was close. She was so absorbed in the painting, she didn't notice the man approach.

"What do you see?" The man asked.

"A castle in the Scottish Highlands. It's magical." She smiled when the man chuckled.

"Not what I was intending but that's the beauty of art" the man smiled, "Everyone sees something different."

Hazle smiled, turning to the man, she realized who it was. Well, that was easy. "You pained this?"

He nodded, "This and a few others" he turned towards her, "How did you disappear that night in the alley?"

"That's a secret but if you agree to listen to what I need to say, I'll tell you." She replied, looking right into his eyes.

Klaus smirks, "And what do you have to say?"

"I can't say it here" Hazel smirks, "How about we go somewhere to talk."

"You want to leave here, where there are witnesses, and be alone. "Do you know who I am?"

"Of course I do" She smiles cheekily, "Now, care to talk?"

~~~~

Hazel enters the apartment, it's really nice. She looks around until Klaus flashes in front of her. "Tell me what you know" he tried to compel her.

"That won't work Niklaus Mikaelson" Hazel smirks at his expression.

"You're on vervain" he says.

"Nope, just special" she smiles and plops onto his couch, "So, first I need to introduce myself, I'm Hazel. I know your name but what should I call you?"

He looks at her like she's crazy, it's not a far-off assumption. Sighing, he replies, "Most people call me Klaus, my family calls me Niklaus. So whichever."

Hazel stares him down before saying, "I'll call you Nik. I like to be different." She could have sworn he mumbled she should say difficult, but she continued, "So, you want your curse broken, right?"

He's not sure how she knows of the curse. he never let it be known it was only him the curse was on. Looking at her, he walks closer and sits next to her. He could tell by her heartbeat, she wasn't lying. "What do you know?"

"I know there's no sun and moon curse, it's a curse for you. It's a bind on your werewolf side and your mother placed it." Hazel watched his eyes narrow. "If you promise to do it my way, I will help you break it."

"I already know what I need to break it. Why should I do it your way?" He leaned over her, "How do I know you're not lying."

"What reason do I have to lie? I just want to keep innocent people alive."

"Who are you" He knew her first name, but she seemed to know a lot about him, only fair he knew about her.

"I told you, I'm Hazel. I have a different last name depending on who I'm talking to so let's go with Potter for now. I might share the other before I leave." She smiled at his frown.

"So why help me? Who are you trying to save?"

"You deserve to be whole. You've been cut off from half of yourself for centuries. I also don't want people to die if you do it your way. I've heard what happened to Kitty Kats family, I would rather not have my family or friend caught up in this." Hazel explains.

"Kitty Kat? Katerina? You know her? I'm sure that went well." He said, thinking over what Hazel had said, he asked, "What's your plan?"

"I have the moonstone. Your brother thinks he has it but nope" Hazel smirks. "Also, we need to talk about that situation. But my plan only requires the same things that bound you."

"A werewolf, a vampire, and a doppelganger. They were all sacrificed to bind me."

"Their blood was" Seeing his confusion, she says quietly, "Somehow the stone showed me that day. I watched your mom prepare the spell, no one was sacrificed." His eyes widen. "Also, I'm sure you plan to make more like yourself" he nods, "How can you do that if the doppelganger is dead?"

"My blood will make more Hybrids"

Hazel shakes her head, "Vampire, werewolf, and doppelganger blood is needed to make you a Hybrid. Why not the same for more."

Nik stands, pissed. "That woman knew I would kill the doppelganger and then I wouldn't be able to make more" looking back to Hazel, he says, "If you help me, I won't kill anyone."

"Perfect" she smiles, "So, care to tell me why your brother wants you dead?"

He sighs, "He believes I dropped our siblings in the ocean."

Her jaw dropped, "Excuse me? Why would he think that?"

"I may have said I did during a heated exchange." He replies nonchalantly.

"How the hell did you think that was a good idea? No wonder he wants to kill you! Merlin" she mutters, shaking her head, "Fucking men."

Catching the word, he questions "Merlin?"

Hazel glares, "You're a dumbass" she laughs at the shock on his face, "Want to know what I am?" he nods, "I'm a core witch."

Niks eyes are huge. He had only met a core wizard once and that man had been looking for immortality. He didn't help him, something about the man put even Klaus on edge.

"Have you heard of my kind?"

He nodded, "Once, the man actually found me. Weird bloke, he could talk to snakes."

"Fucking Tom" she snarled.

"You know him?" that surprised him.

Hazel smiled sweetly, "I killed him two months ago. He murdered my parents and tried to kill me at one, eleven, twelve, fourteen, fifteen, and seventeen."

"What the hell" he gaped, "Why?"

Hazel gave him her story. She had promised to tell him and she was keeping her word. It seemed fair since she had seen his. When she was finished, he could only stare.

"I can see why you don't fear me."

"Partly that and partly because I was raised by a vampire. Day was pretty mad when I got home a couple months ago and told him everything."

"Day" he asked, "Who raised you?"

Smiling, she said, "My other last name, Salvatore."

"Damon Salvatore raised you?" he asked shocked.

"Yup. He gave me an amazing life, but I kept Voldemort a secret because I didn't want him to get hurt."

"So, you know Stefan" she rolled her eyes, "I take it you don't get along."

"Ugh, he gets on my nerves. Bunny muncher" she growls, "Why can't he be a normal vampire and eat blood bags?"

Nik chuckles, "So, are we going to make a plan to break my curse?"

"I already have a plan, I just need you to show up when I say" Hazel explains. The two spend another hour going over everything, Nik promises not to show until she contacts him. "Well, I need to head home. Day's taking me car shopping tomorrow." Hazel says, standing she adds, "If your brother gets on my nerves, I'll run him over."

Nik chuckles, "Take a video" then he realizes, "If you don't have a car, how did you get here?"

"I'll show you" She smiles, waves and pops away.

~~~~

Nik wasn't sure what had just happened, but he wouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth. This, witch, Hazel, was helping him so he wouldn't kill anyone. Normally, he wouldn't agree but thinking over what she had said, he realized she was right. Maybe he could finally feel whole.

Klaus wasn't sure where Hazel was from, she kept that quiet but he needed to prepare. Making a couple phone calls, he put things into motion. Now, when she contacted him, he would be ready to leave.

Thinking over her story, he couldn't believe she had been through so much. She was only seventeen and had fought in a war and won! Hazel was very interesting, he couldn't wait for her to contact him.

~~~~

Damon could only bow his head as Hazel glared. She had come back, in a good mood, but that went out the window when she noticed a desiccated Elijah on the floor. He knew where she had gone but wanted to take the Original out.

Hazel rubbed her temples, "I just got one Original to promise not to kill us and you just gave another the motivation too!" She smacked Damons shoulder before looking at Elijah. "Uhm, does he look like he's healing?"

Damon looked to the vampire, "Yeah, that shouldn't be happening."

"Please let me deal with him. I would really like not to have my neck snapped or heart ripped out" she huffs and prepares for Elijah to wake. "Why don't you deal with your guests while I speak with him."

Damon nodded and walked out of the room. He hoped Hazel could talk Elijah out of killing him.

~~~~

"Merlin, you're taking forever." Hazel grumbled, kicking the mans shoe.

When Elijah woke, he moved quickly, grabbing Hazel. "Where's Damon" he growled.

Eyes narrowing, she hit him with a hex, "No. You're going to listen to me, not go off killing my father!"

Elijah glared, stepping back, he said "And what do you have to say?"

"First, you will not attack Damon or anyone else." Seeing he's about to interrupt, she silences him, "Second, your siblings aren't in the ocean. I'm going to help you get them back as long as you stop trying to kill Nik."

Elijah looked surprised and tried to speak but he still didn't have a voice. Hazel waved her had, "What are you?" He asked, he had so many questions but that one came out first.

"Core witch" she replied. Luckily, she could tongue tie jinx everyone she told, or she would be in trouble.

Elijah's eyes widened. He hadn't seen a core witch in centuries. "How do you know about my siblings?"

Smiling, Hazel said, "Nik told me. I just gone done speaking with him and making a plan."

"Why would you help him? He'll kill Elena and many more"

"Because I can help him break the curse without anyone dying, including Elena. When your mother bound him, she didn't kill anyone, she only used their blood. I can do the same and I'll have each give the blood willingly." Hazel then added, "You should know, you helped your father hold him down while she bound him."

Elijahs face went cold. "How could you know that? Did Niklaus tell you?"

Shaking her head, Hazel says, "The moonstone showed me. It also showed me why your mother turned you all."

"What do you get from this? No one does something like this for free." He made sure to listen to her heartbeat, he would know if she lied.

"I just want to keep everyone alive. I've seen enough death, I don't want to watch more innocents die."

That confused him but he could understand. Agreeing to not try to kill his brother, he asked "The witch with him, Greta, her family wants her back."

"Okay, I'll tell him to bring her. Now, do I have your word you won't go after Damon again?"

Elijah nods, "I won't go after him, but I need his word he won't dagger me again."

"Deal" Hazel agrees and leads Elijah out to the others.

He then remembered what she had called his brother, "Did you call him Nik?"

Shrugging, she replies, "I wanted to be different from everyone else."
