"I'm stuck with two idiots" Kol faceplamed, as Kai started eating the jam.

"Hey, Nik" Aria greeted, answering her phone.

"Hey Ari, so did you find the girl?" Klaus asked.

"Unfortunately, no" Aria replied, "Rebekah and I checked the border of Mystic Falls about three times, still no sign of her anywhere".

"Well, I checked the roads and she's not here either" Klaus informed.

"Which can only mean that she's still in Mystic Falls, a place we can't go" Aria realised, "Nik, this is really bad, Sarah's compulsion went away as soon as she entered the town, she knows me and Caroline are vampires, she probably also knows about Rebekah, and god knows what else she knows".

"Ari, relax" Klaus said, "Everything's going to be fine, look, right now, you and I can't do anything, because we can't step foot in Mystic Falls, we have to trust that Jeremy and April will find her before she opens her mouth to anyone".

"Yeah, slight problem with that" Aria said, "Jeremy has gotten food poisoning , because of some bad sushi he ate, so know he's in the hospital getting checked out and Alaric and April are with him".

"So, you're telling me, no one is looking for Sarah in Mystic Falls?" Klaus asked, slightly annoyed.

"Mom is" Aria replied, "We are hoping someone finds Sarah, before she finds the vampire hunter Tripp, who Jeremy and April heard Tyler and Matt talk about, and babbles to him about me and Care".

"I'm telling you now, Ari, if that vampire hunter comes after you or Caroline, I'm killing him" Klaus said, "Don't say I didn't warn you".

"Mom is going to try and find out what Tripp knows, and if he knows about Caroline and me, instead of killing the hunter, you need to get Caroline and my babies out of here" Aria said.

"What about you?" Klaus asked confused.

"This is my mess Nik, I attacked Sarah, so I have to be the one who fixes all of this" Aria replied.

Klaus sighed, "Ari, I get that, but you have three little babies who need their mother to be with them, if this vampire hunter knows about you, I'm taking you with me to New Orleans".

"But Nik--".

"No" Klaus interrupted, "I don't want to hear anything else Ari, you know I'm right, you can't stay here while your kids are in another city".

"I can to keep them safe" Aria whispered.

"You keep them safe" Klaus retorted, "They need you".

Aria sighed, "Nik, since they were born, everything I've done, everything I will do, is for those three, and if to keep them safe, I have to stay away from them, I will do it, because nothing in this world matters more then their safety".

"Ari--".

"I have to go" Aria interrupted, "I'm going to look around the borders one last time".

"No, Ari, wait--", but Aria didn't listen, she hanged up on Klaus, not wanting to hear anything else.

"Dammit, Ari!" Klaus yelled.
