In the midst (AN: Is tha even a word) of all this chaos, the two brothers and their clan begin to form a plan to get their sister back from the Mikealson mansion. They were so close to seeing her - they practically heard her breathe - but they knew not to test Klaus' patience. Well, Stefan did. Which allowed him to put his heroic influence on Damon, who very reluctantly agreed. However, little did they know that Emmaline had already escaped, and she was, once again, lost.

Emmaline did not know why she ran away from Klaus. But something was telling her that his intentions were not the purest and that she might have just been a ploy in his games to make Damon and Stefan as irritated as possible. And it was working. Stefan remained quiet as he sat on the couch, thinking of alternatives to approaching Klaus. Damon, however, was acting out.

Damon couldn't stand the thought of his sister being in the hands of the one person that he wasn't able to overpower. Because every time they tried to, he always managed to be five steps ahead. Every. Single. Time. And it infuriated him. Without realising his own strength, Damon smashed the cup he was holding, filled with bourbon, into pieces. This brought Stefan back to reality. He sighed and began to approach his brother.

"We're going to get her back, Damon. No matter what." Stefan reassured him. Klaus couldn't keep her forever. She'd want to leave eventually, after realising he didn't want to help her. Because Klaus Mikealson was evil and selfish, he cared for no one and worked in his own favour. He would never want to willingly help Emmaline reunite with her brothers. Would he? No, that was crazy talk. Klaus doesn't think of anyone but himself.

Right?

"Yes, Stefan, no matter what. Which means that if I have to go over there and pull his heart out, then that's what I will do. Because she's there. She's there, and we don't know what he will do to her. So yes, Stefan, I'm going to do whatever it takes. Even if it means dying in the process." Damon stated. He was so sure of himself, so confident in his words. But in reality, he was also scared. Because he knew if anything were to happen to Emmaline, he would place the blame on himself. So he had to save her. He had to.

**************************************

Emmaline's POV:

I hated this. All I could do was keep walking and hope and pray that I'm going in the right direction. My throat began to itch again, and at this point, I'm aware of the meaning of it. I needed to learn how to control myself. I needed to control this constant thirst I had for blood. The thought repulsed me. I had turned into this monster, and I don't recognise myself anymore. It hurt. It hurt so much, and I had no one to turn to. Because I was stupid enough to make an impulsive decision to run away.

I don't know why I ran, in all honesty. I could hear the conversation, I heard Nik bargaining my life, and that hurt. But was I being too dramatic? In this moment in time, I feel like I was dramatic.

But they were there. I heard their voices, Stefan and Damon's. I heard them. They're here. And that's enough to keep me going. It brought a smile to my face, knowing that I was so close to finally being back with them after all this time.

I was beginning to imagine the moment I'd finally be able to see them. I'd be happy. They'd be happy, and everything would go back to the way it was. And I'd finally have my questions answered. I miss normality. I miss the sun waking me up for the day, and getting ready with the help of my maids. At this moment in time, the only good thing about these days was the removal of corsets. Those things were a royal pain.

"There you are, love." I had heard from behind me. My heart began racing. There was no question as to who it was, "Come along now, let's head back home."

"I can't, Nik. I left your home for a reason. I need to find mine. My brothers, remember? The ones you ushered away. I want to find them. It's been too long, Nik. Far too long," I let out in one breath. Tears began to brim in my eyes as I turned to face him, letting one fall out. Nik noticed this, and his signature smirk faltered for just a split second before letting it reappear.

He let out a sigh, thinking for a moment before he spoke, "Very well then, but please, allow me to take you there because you're going in the completely wrong direction." Nik began to laugh, almost in a mocking tone.

"Stop it, Nik. I'm done with the games. How do I know you're not lying to me right now?" I questioned him. He didn't let my brothers see me before. What's stopping him from doing the same now?

"All those questions you asked me? I told you the truth with every single one. But you came to me with those questions, why? Because you know that I would never lie to you, angel," he spoke. Sometimes Nik truly did have a way with his words. It was so charming. But I couldn't fall for it right now, it was too risky.

Angel. That was new. But I couldn't make it seem like I enjoy the new nickname, so I kept my face as neutral-looking as possible. But my insides were burning, and I feel like he could tell. I turned away slightly from him, avoiding his eyes. I couldn't look at him right now. I refuse to give in.

Within a second, I feel him breathing by my ear, making my breath hitch. He really did know all of my weak spots.

"You know, love. There are many other things we could do before I take you to your brothers," he whispered into my ear, his hand barely touching my arm, but I could feel fireworks going off exactly where his touch lingered.

I slowly turn to face him, "Nik..." I say, my voice barely above a whisper. I couldn't trust my voice right now, but I refused to give in to him. But his face, his perfect eyes and his lips that fit so perfectly with mine.

Our faces were inches away from each other, tension growing by the second. My eyes were on his lips as I could feel his on mine. My thoughts were about to fly out of my head when I heard a voice, bringing me back to reality, "Hey, uh, sorry to interrupt...this, but I'm kind of lost right now, I was out camping with my friends and I walked away and now-"

The chatty man wasn't able to finish his sentence because I sped towards him and dug my teeth into his neck. His screams echoed throughout the forest as I kept on feeding, I couldn't stop. I felt Nik's presence beside me as he spoke to the man, telling him to stop screaming. And he did. Curiosity got the better as I lifted my head, wondering why he stopped screaming. I stared at him as he looked at me in fear. I couldn't help but show a faint smile as blood ran down my mouth.

Nik must've noticed this as he began to laugh at the situation, "there's one last thing I should probably teach you before we set off,"

"And what's that?" I asked.

"Compulsion."
