'Inflamed Passion' A Damon Salvatore Love Story. Part Of The 'Epic Love Saga'.

There Only Love..... No Bitterness.....

Siena P.O.V

I was happy that Damon and I kind of kissed and made up cause we couldn't continue the way we were. I couldn't carry on being in this constant war him of which side deserved our compassion. Knowing that it's Nickar in that cell made it a lot harder now but even with all that I still believe that Nico will finally pull through. I hope that somehow that Damon and he can rebuild their relationship I don't believe that there was too much bad blood between them. What the focus was in New Orleans is to bring Isabella back with us then I can focus back on this whole Nickar issue. So I agreed with Damon that we search the city separately as it would be easier to find her. Well I didn't give him much of a choice about it as I was gone before he could protest. I didn't know where to even start as the city of New Orleans was a lot bigger than I thought it would be. I began to go further into the city the side where the French Quarters were as I know if I had an issue I could turn to Nic. I know he would try and help me find Isabella. You know when I think about the progress of the relationship I had with Nic over the years. I'm grateful to have him back into my life. I know the circumstances of him coming back weren't the greatest but I can't image my life without him.

Strange to think that once upon a time we were once lovers and now I consider Nic as my closest friend. I knew no matter what happened in my life I could always turn to him and how many people can actually say they can do that. Nic knew me probably as many levels as Damon he seen so many side to me and we had history. There nothing I would change about my past from what I recall from it. I wouldn't change any mistakes that I made even the one when I wanted my memories compelled away of Damon. Okay it didn't quite go that way but I can't keep looking into the past no longer and look into the future and make new memories. Happy ones along with sad one too cause that what life is about. It's like I get into a roller coaster and sit there while it goes up and down and upside down and sometimes I get thrown out and I hit my head. But I crawl back in again and the moment I'm back in it just keeps on going and going again... All the bruises all the wounds all the bumps on the head. All the scars just so I can appreciate this what we call life. There is times I say "God, I don't want to be in this roller coaster anymore." But when I think about it if I'm not right here then where the hell would I be? On the sidewalk? I wasn't born to stand on the sidewalk I was born to fly around crazy in the sky! I'm put on this carnival ride. I will close my eyes never knowing where it'll take us next. Just that alone reminds me I need to appreciate this life I live as much as I want to run or want the normal life of two point four children. That wasn't the life that fates planned for me and I needed to accept each and every obstacle that came my way.

I tried looking around but it was kind of useless as I wouldn't know where to find Isabella. Also the fact that I kept getting these strange looks as I roamed around the French Quarters. That was annoying me more than anything. I don't know if they knew who I was or what I was but it wasn't important. I knew that Nic leaved in the French Quarters so I might as well go and ask for his help he probably have better luck in knowing where I could find her. I asked about for directions to the compound and I wasn't too far from it. As I entered into the courtyard I had this strange feeling overcome me but I shrugged it off. I called out Nic name as I began to make my way up the stairs leading into this home. I notice that there wasn't anyone around I thought I would expected someone to be here. I entered the living room.

"Siena..."I heard Nic from behind me making me jump. I turned to him as he looked at me confused who could blame him as I came here without warning.

"I'm sorry Nic to turn up out of the blue but I kind of need your help" As I spoke he walked over and poured himself a drink. Nic seemed a little on edge I could see that with his body language and the way he totally drained that drink.

"Of course Siena what do you require my assistant with?" He turned to me and smiled. I could see there was something bothering him behind that smile as I knew Nic pretty well. Even more so since now there wasn't any more secrets between us and we were so open with one another.

"Nic are you okay you look.... Kind of flustered" That was the only way I could describe the way he looked right now. That wasn't a normal Nic thing to do which was a little concerning.

"I'm just dealing with a lot here Siena since the return of my mother and Mikael" I felt my jaw drop as he spoke of his evil mom and psychotic father. I felt so bad for just turning up the way I did because one thing I knew about him was when it came to his parents they screwed with his mind a lot.

"Oh god Nic" I approached him as he stood there not moving with a very still expression. "Is there anything I can do to help?" As much as I needed to find my daughter. Nic was my oldest friend the only person who knew the old Siena from New York. He had stood by me through so many things and I think it was my time to return the same gratitude.

"Siena if my mother was to know you were here.... Well we both know what she would attempt to do" He had a point there Esther and I didn't get on to great as she wanted to suck the life out of me last time we interacted. "You came here for my help not the other way around" See this is what I always wanted people to see the side to Nic that was sweet kind and caring but the thing is he doesn't like to show it to many.

"Nic I can't. It's not fair you have enough going on" I couldn't do this to him I'm sure I can find Isabella on my own. I turned to walk away from him when he incepted me stopping from leaving the room.

"Please Siena." He insisted and I knew that Nic wouldn't drop it until I tell him. How was I meant to tell him I'm looking for my daughter whereas far as Nic knows she passed away hours after she was born. I looked at him as he stood there waiting patiently for me to tell him my reason for my visit I really didn't know how to put all of this into words.

"It going to sound a little crazy what I'm going to say but I came here looking for my daughter Isabella" I watched as Nic looked at me a little stunned. Something caught my eyes over his shoulder and that was Isabella standing in the entrance to the living room.

"Mom" She spoke a little fearfully. I rushed over to her and hugged her tightly I was so just so grateful that she was safe.

"God you made us worry so much about you" She looked different not like the frighten girl that I used to see after the events. Isabella seemed different like she had grown up not in appearance but there was this aura around her right now. I couldn't describe it and I didn't care I was just happy that I found her and now Damon can dial down on his anger.

"I'm sorry. I came here to find a way to help Nico..." I was a little taken back by her saying that. She left Mystic Falls to find a way to help her brother? I was about to speak when Isabella interrupted me. "I know your dad Julian is in New Orleans a lot and I wanted to try and speak to him about what happen...." I couldn't help but smile at her as all this time I and everyone else thought she ran off because of what her brother did. All Isabella was doing was trying to find a solution to help save her brother. I truly had a special girl to put aside all her fear to one side and think of helping Nico rather than run for her life.

"You know you've drove your dad insane with your disappearing act" I spoke to her calmly as I couldn't be mad at her as her reason for leaving were honourable. I wonder if Damon view will change now when he knows that Isabella didn't run because she was frighten of Nico. That she left to save him. "How did you two meet?" I asked looking at the both of them. New Orleans was a huge city and what were the odds of Nic and Isabella actually bumping into one another.

"Klaus was going to bring me home after he told me that Julian wasn't in the city" Isabella spoke as she did she looked over to Nic smiling. Something didn't add up how they actually met. I was about to speak when Nic interrupted.

"Yes I bumped into her near St Anne's she seemed a little lost and bewildered and...." I cut him off in mid-sentence.

"You being chivalrous Nic" I teased him and I watched as his expression changed to being offended by what I said. "Sorry. And thank you for looking after my little girl" I wrapped my arm around Isabella kissing the top of her head. While she squirmed her way out of my grip I think she felt a little embarrassed which I thought was kind of sweet.

"Can you not add 'little' to that please mom" Isabella looked at me with pleading eyes. I knew of that look so familiar as when my own mom used to call me her little girl it was beyond embarrassing so I could relate her not liking that.

"Well I do have to say your daughter company is as pleasant company as your own" Nic snapped me out of my thoughts and I knew he was putting on his charm.

"Don't fall for this one British accent and charm sweetie" I nudged Isabella she began to giggle while Nic shook his head as I was only speaking of the truth. Nic had a way with words and at times it can be empowering maybe compelling as it wasn't just that accent but his whole persona. "We better get going your dad and uncle going to be relieved to see you" Isabella looked at me a little nervously I assumed seeing Damon was something she wasn't looking forward to. Knowing Damon he won't even yell at her just be thankful she okay. I turned to Nic who stood there watching Isabella and I with an intrigue look in his eyes. I guess it was strange for him to see me with my daughter and being motherly. "Nic thanks once again. I know things are hard around here now but if you need a break from it all you can always visit" I meant that because getting away from a situation at times can be a great remedy but then again Esther and Mikael had place a huge target on him. Even if he came to stay with me would they leave him alone? Well I would make sure they wouldn't do anything to him when he was around me. I think it will be a bit of a thrill to kick Mikael ass and send Esther to hell.

"I will definitely consider that Siena." Nic spoke snapping me out of my vengeful plotting then placing a kiss on my cheek. I smiled at him as he turned to Isabella. "Nice to meet you Isabella" He smiled as he took hold of her hand then placed a kissing on the top of it.

"You too Klaus" She smiled back and we both left the room. "Is dad really angry at me for leaving" Isabella asked as we were walking down the stairs leading to the courtyard. I stopped to look at her and I could see that she was genuinely concerned of what Damon was going to do when he saw her.

"I think he more upset than angry" Which in truth that all it was as Damon wanted to protect his little girl and with her running off the way she did. He felt as if he failed which he didn't because in the end we had our daughter back in our life for short time. Even though she wasn't brought up by us but she knew already that family will always come first. "One thing I learnt is your definitely daddy girl so believe me there won't be no yelling" A smiled grew on her face as I told her the truth and it seemed that all her fears went away. I know that feeling of not wanting to have you dad be mad at you or yell at you cause you feel like you've disappointed them in some way. The thing is a daughter may outgrow sitting on her daddy lap but she will never outgrow loving her father. As the first man any girl falls in love with is her father because she knows he always be there to protect her. That kind of security and love you get from your dad you don't want to lose when making silly mistakes.

Isabella P.O.V

Well my time in New Orleans were short lived and I never actually got to do what I came for that was to help my brother. Instead I had some crazy witch after me for some power trip. Then there was Klaus the guy who really wound me up the wrong way then to suddenly be in his room making out with him. Not sure how that worked out but there was definitely a change in opinion from my view about him while at the bar. I couldn't deny that earlier I thought he was hot because he certainly is that but the attitude it didn't make him as appealing. In those few moments in that bar it was like everything changed there was like this magnetic pull drawing me to him. The way he was looking at me I think the feeling was mutual. Well that was confirmed when after my first ever attempt of singing. That when I finally understood the saying like a moth to a flame. I'm the moth. My heart flutters like the paper thin wings. And he is the flame that was scorching my soul. He inhales so heavily like he's been holding his breath under water. Klaus presses his lips against mine and tugs at my hair gently. My head falls back and my mouth falls open. His tongue slick as silver dances with mine. In that moment I'd also learned something new. There was something really sexy about a man that kissed you without stopping to ask first.

Well to say the moment got interrupted would be an understatement as I heard my mom calling out his name. My heart literally felt like it jumped out of my chest as I heard her call out Klaus name. A thousand questions ran through my mind in that moment of how did my mom even know him? All I knew was she would flip out if she saw this. Klaus of course had this carefree attitude like don't worry that just my friend Siena. Well I did have to worry and when I told him that his friend Siena was my mom he stood there with his jaw gaping open. One moment he was there the next he was gone before my eyes. I tried to leave from the balcony but there was no way of me getting down and I was panicking as I didn't know what she would think to me being here. So I braved it and thought best way was to face it as I began to approach the living room I heard the both of them speaking. From what I heard Klaus and my mom were really close I could hear in their voices how much they cared about one another. I knew I could just slip by and pretend to bump into my mom in the streets but I think I made her worry enough with disappearing. So I made my appearance aware and when my mom saw me I saw relief appear on her face. What felt a little uncomfortable was the fact she was babying me in front of the guy who I was making out with moments ago.

The tension was thick in the room but my mom didn't pick up on the glances that were shared between Klaus and I. This was something I didn't expect for Klaus to be some kind of BFF to my mom. Talk about messed up but he was just so hot even as he stood there trying to keep his composure. All I thought about doing was go back into his room and continue with our make out session. Something tells me that will be the first and last time that will ever happen as he looked a little freaked out after I told him Siena was my mom. It seems that Klaus and I worked well as a team as we told my mom some bogus story of how we met. She believed it which totally threw me. My biggest worry now was my dad as soon as she mention how worried he was all I pictured was him yelling at me. I could imagine that wasn't going to be pretty at all and to be honest my dad angry is kinda intimating. I knew I had to face him sooner or later I think I'll do the whole battering of the eye lashes while smiling innocently. I watched as Klaus and my mom said there farewells and I saw in that moment they both meant a lot to each other. Which made what happened not so long ago in his room totally awkward. When he said goodbye to me and kissed my hand I tried so hard not to blush as I could see my mom looking. I just couldn't help but think how charming Klaus really was but I knew he was a no fly zone area. So whatever I thought of him or how hot I thought he was there was going to be nothing between us. As I think it would cause A LOT of complications.

We left Klaus home as we did I asked my mom basically how mad my dad was at me. She assured me that he couldn't be mad at me that he would just be grateful that they found me. She spoke to me about coming here to try and fix this issue with Nico. I could see that she was kind of proud of me for my effort to try and help him. She told me about how much her and dad had been arguing as dad thought I ran away cause I was frighten of Nico. When it was the total opposite and when we finally met up and he was told my reason for leaving. To say my dad was moved was an understatement I could see he wanted to say something about it all but he stopped himself. Then I had to endure and very awkward make-out moment between my parents. Thankfully my uncle Stefan was there to shield me from that. I love how much my parents love each other but it's something that doesn't need to be done in front of me.

Well it turned out I wasn't going home that I was going on a family road trip to Portland. From what I understood is that a few months back my dad found some kind of teddy that was Bonnie. She was the witch that he was locked in this prison of 1994 when everyone thought they were all dead. I kind knew the back story from this all before coming into their lives when I did my research. Plus the two gossip queens spoke of Bonnie a lot. I could tell from my dad voice that the time he spent with Bonnie they became close. That she gave everything up for him to come back to be with my mom before she gave birth to me. Now I didn't know this Bonnie but in my eyes for her to do something like that she was a pretty cool person in my eyes. So whatever I could do to help I would as she didn't deserve to be stuck in some hell with a psychopath. Yeah he spoke of some nut job called Kai who basically sucks up magic I don't think I would like to meet him personally. So my mom left us in New Orleans to go back and fix things which I didn't get what she meant by that. While we left making our way to Portland on family road trip. It seems that my dad wanted to keep a close eye on me so I didn't do another disappearing act.

We arrived at the destination but we had to walk the rest of the way to get to this so called spot where the Gemini coven meant to be. Stefan kept saying he had been here months back and it was a waste of time while my dad ignored him. Ric was on the phone to my mom asking how things were going back home. Apparently Elena convince her to arrange some kind of peace dinner with having a few people over. Of course the whole peace part of it all was to do with Nico girlfriend Caroline who my mom despised right now. They were once friends but since Nico and her started to date and this darker side of him came about. Mom and Caroline haven't been BFF so to say. From my understanding Elena ease dropped on the conversation and knew what we were up to. Let's just say my mom has a lot of explain to do. I'm so glad I'm not her as I don't think Elena going to be too happy that this was kept from her.

"Hey. Were you invited to this dinner the sisters are throwing?" Stefan asked my dad while Ric was on the phone to Elena. Apparently this was what my mom meant about fixing things throwing some kind of dinner party to make peace. Well more so with Caroline after snapping her neck when she found out she knew what my brother did. Personally I think being there would be more entertaining than being here. These three were like watching like hawks and the questions after questions it was driving slightly insane.

"Of course. Elena demanded I bring string beans. Whereas Siena demanded something else for when I returned....." My dad stood there with a smirk on his face as he looked at Stefan. While I was disturbed by what I had just heard I think he forgets at times I'm here and so don't need to be hearing stuff like that.

"Ewww.... Really?" I shook my head as my dad started to laugh. I didn't find it assuming especially as I knew he was going to go into some kind of details about it.

"Huh." Stefan spoke as he looked away from my dad. I could see that Stefan was a little hurt or upset about something and I had a feeling that it had to with this dinner. Of course everyone back home was oblivious to where we were as my mom didn't want to get anyone hopes up. Well that was the plan but from what I heard Elena knows of it all now as she overheard a conversation with Ric and my mom.

"Were you not invited?" Dad asked him in his teasing manner like he always seems to do. I think that my dad thoroughly enjoyed teasing his little brother.

"Nope." Stefan replied flatly and I thought I might as well join in with the teasing as the journey here was a boring.

"Ooh, boy. You messed with the wrong girl's feelings. Heh heh. Bad Uncle Stefan" I teased him and he gave me a look to say he wasn't impressed. My dad roared into laughter while I stood there looking at Stefan smiling. I don't get why they broke up but even I knew that they both missed each other deeply.

"Is that the reason Elena assigned me the turkey and the Cranberries. Stefan wasn't invited." Ric added and it seems like we were all going to have fun at my uncle expense. Maybe this day won't turn out too bad after all.

"See what you did? Now we're pulling your weight. I really hope you figure this out before Christmas." My dad spoke as we made our way to this destination of where this Gemini coven meant to be. I was still trying to wreck my mind on ways I could help pull Bonnie out of this prison. I know my dad spoke of this ascendant that he thinks would be where we were going. I wondered as I'm not a Bennett witch or from this coven if I could get Bonnie back. I mean my mom is the dimidium sanguinis and that crazy witch in New Orleans call me a Lumen de sanguine. So I figure if I'm even a faction like a badass like my mom then I would be able to find a way to bring Bonnie back.

"Yeah. Well, I'm glad you're all finding amusement in this." He spoke annoyed walking ahead of us. Seem that his feeling are being hurt but I just don't get why they just didn't kiss and make up. I saw how the both of them were when I was in that room with them reason why I locked them both in.

"Why don't you two just kiss and make up. That sexual tension between you both would set a room on fire." Which was true I just didn't understand the hesitation between them both. They clearly loved each other still and I might not know the whole story but I know that at time we need to forgive and forget.

"Because Elena doesn't see me in that way no longer." He spoke firmly as he looked at me. I think Stefan truly believe that Elena don't hold those feeling no longer. I think I need to bring my uncle to the eye doctor because it was clear as day that she held those feeling for him.

"What do you know about sexual tension that would set a room on fire Isabella?" I heard my dad say from behind me which made me stop in my track and everyone else. He stood there with his arms crossed looking at me waiting for some kind of reply.

"Uh ohhhhh" Ric added with a smirk on his face which wasn't helping this situation right now.

"Someone in trouble" Stefan said in sing song. I shot a look at him as he was enjoying this now with the focus coming away from him and on to me. I looked to my dad who was still waiting for a reply and I just smiled and hoped I could explain this to him.

"Daddy I wasn't in a nunnery with Aleeya. I did read books you know" He stood there arching his brow. I guess he looked at me as his innocent little girl and I get that but of course I knew things from actually reading novels. "Gotta say Fifty Shades Of Grey was really interesting...." I had to try and hold my laughter in as my dad face was filled with horror with the mention of that book. Those you who don't know about this book and it's book series it's romance slash exotic.

"Fifty shades" He practically shouted while Stefan and Ric snickered "You read that book?!" He seriously looked like he was about to blow. I didn't get why he was so mad about it not like I was going to do anything like that. Then again I wonder if Klaus has his own play room he looks like the tortured soul kinda guy.

"Damon I think most kids Isabella age have read that book" Ric spoke snapping me out of my little fantasy about my version of Mr Grey.

"No kids her age should be reading Wizard of Oz or Harry potter. Not a book filled with sex...." I was trying so hard not to laugh at my dad as I could see this was one of those father and daughter awkward moment. Well more awkward for him than me.

"Daddy I totally recommend you reading it I might...." I began to say and his eyes widen as if he was about to blow. It seems that he was an easy target to wind up that's good to know. I guess that was my pay back with the whole making out with my mom in front of me. Not forgetting trying to scar me suggestions of what they both will do to one another when he gets home.

"Oh! Look. We're here. Behold the Gemini Coven exactly how it looked 4 months ago." Stefan announced taking my dad focus away from me. I looked and all there was completely empty field. "Like I said, uh, 3,000 miles ago, it's not here. Can we, uh, go home now, please?" Stefan spoke with annoyance in his voice but something didn't seem right here. The place didn't fill empty there was something like a presence that was here but wasn't.

"You know what? Check the GPS again. Just because we don't see anything doesn't mean it doesn't exist." Ric added and he was right and maybe that what I'm feeling right now that there was something here but we just couldn't see it.

"Not unlike Elena's feelings for Stefan." Dad added as his mood seemed a little lighter now. It felt weird as I looked out into this empty field I kind felt like someone was looking right back at me. Which sent a chill down my spine thinking that someone looking at me and I can't see them.

"Hilarious. Keep them coming." Stefan spoke with sarcasm and I turned to look at them both to shake this feeling I was having. I saw my dad holding Ms. Cuddles next to his face.

"Oh, no. Is Stefan feeling sensitive about ruining his relationship with Elena? She really loved him, and he broke her heart." My dad uses a high-pitched voice, moving the bear's arms around. I couldn't help but laugh as my dad humor was too funny l at times and I get where I get my cheekiness from now.

"See, Uncle Stefan? Even the bear knew." My dad smirked at me and I think he liked the whole father and daughter tag teaming.

"I saw that from a mile away, and my brain's made of cotton." Once again he used Ms. Cuddles voice. Stefan didn't look amused whatsoever now.

"Give me this." Stefan grabs the bear and punts it straight into the field. It hits some kind of invisible barrier, and suddenly a large house appears in front of them. My dad walks up onto the porch and picks up Ms. Cuddles then turns to us with a puzzled expression.

"Oooo I think it's Ms. Cuddles, one - invisible creepy mansion, zero." I added as I peeked through the window. The place seemed normal enough but that feeling I had early made sense now. As silly as this sounds I don't think we are alone.

Damon P.O.V

I was truly grateful that I didn't need to stay in New Orleans for long as Siena called me within the hour from leaving me telling me she had Isabella. I didn't like this city and what it reminded me of either. There was one person who I didn't want to see that was Klaus. I hate the way he work his way into Siena life by playing hero and being there for her. I know the only reason he does that in hope that one day he have her again. That alone wound me up more than anything and Siena didn't see Klaus games whereas I did. See the problem here is if I make this come to light that makes Klaus win so I had to keep my thoughts to all this in silence. You know if I knew for a fact that I wasn't part of his bloodline along with everyone else I cared about. I would have great pleasure in staking him with that white oak stake that Siena got hidden god knows where. Then to hear that in that huge city of New Orleans he stumble upon Isabella? That was hard to believe and just as I suspected the first place Siena went running to was him. Low and behold there was our daughter. That guy has an agenda that I know but he won't succeed with it not as long as I'm about.

So Isabella was safe and Siena brought along with her something I put to one side because I didn't know what to actually do with it. That was Ms. Cuddle the bear that Bonnie clutched to a lot in our time in that place I called hell. I guess I hid it away because I didn't want to be reminded of what she did and there wasn't a way to help her. Then again at the time Siena and I weren't on good terms with her not knowing what I was to her. Words of encouragement from Siena made me want to have hope again in bring Bonnie back. Then with Isabella being quite confident that we find a way to make this happen took away all my doubts. I wanted Siena to come along with us but it seems she wanted to make some kind of amends with certain someone. Meaning Caroline which took me by surprise as I know for a fact I won't be as forgiving to her about it all. Maybe Siena was doing it for what she thinks is Nico in that cell in Richmond. Whatever it was I didn't see it going well. Then again who I'm I judge what she is doing as Siena more than capable to look out for herself.

So it was a Salvatore family road trip plus Ric who was going to meet us in Portland to find this coven. It was a long journey and I notice that Isabella was very quiet in the back constantly on her cell taping away. Stefan and I both began to tease her and seems she didn't like that much. It was just friendly banter to kill some time getting to Portland. When we arrived Ric was talking to Siena about our progress and during that conversation at Siena end Elena over heard about our mission. Yeah to say it didn't go well that would be a tad wrong. I knew that Siena will be able to defuse the situation at that end. Then a little fun began as me and mini me began to tease Stefan about how Elena icing him out. Which didn't please him whatsoever and was highly amusing it was that all faded after a comment by Isabella. I wanted to know how she even knew about lust and desire and to be honest I regret to ask. As she spoke of that book that women are crazing about Fifty Shades Of Grey. That when I seriously felt awkward knowing that my daughter read something like that. At the same time I was angry because yeah she may look like full grown young adult but in my eyes she was still my little girl.

The tenseness of that conversation got broken by Stefan making his statement once again that this was a waste of time as we stood in front of an empty field. Well he was wrong because after his little hissy fit because I was teasing him with Ms. Cuddles. A mansion appeared out of nowhere which meant that the place was cloaked. We approached it all wearying but there was obviously a reason why this place was cloaked and I wanted to find out why.

"Anybody want to take a stab at how Bonnie's Teddy bear undid whatever was cloaking this place?" Stefan asked as I rang the doorbell to this random house that appeared out of nowhere curtsy of Ms. Cuddles. Did he actually think I knew the answer to that?

"He said without laughing." Isabella spoke as she turned back to us. She had a point this was all a little strange but I've dealt with many strange things over the last year. This is just another to add to that list unknown facts.

"Jo told me she got rid of her magic by putting it away for safekeeping. Maybe Bonnie put her magic away in this." That sounded like something Bonnie would do considering she in another world with a psychopath. I just hoped that she was still alive... Of course she would be Kai needed her blood to use on the ascendant there was no other way for him to come back.

"Why would Bonnie put her magic in Ms. Cuddles?" Stefan spoke with confusion. Didn't he just hear what Ric said?

"To keep Kai from using her to get out." It was as simple as that. I opened the door but couldn't enter as I haven't been invited in. That part of being a vampire really sucked. Then Isabella tried to go pass me to enter the house and I stopped her "I don't think so sweetie" She tried to give me her puppy dog eyes which under any other circumstances I would of fallen for. But I don't know what on the other side of this door and I won't risk her life. I looked at Ric indicating for him to check it out "It's all yours, brother." Ric hands Ms. Cuddles to Isabella who sigh in frustration before he walked into the house. He walks up the stairs, cautiously. After a while Ric comes down with bunch of photographs. He began the show the three of us them.

"Jo lived here. There's a drawer inside full of stuff, newspaper articles about Jo's medical clamp, pictures of her as a kid, pictures of her as a teenager." As I was looking down at the pictures one caught my eye. I grabbed it and looked at it for a long moment and I couldn't believe my eyes.

"Hold, please. Rewind. That's Kai from planet 1994." This was nuts Jo was related to that psycho?

"Wait. Jo is his sister?" Isabella spoke a little fearfully. On our family road trip she was informed of everything that happen in the repeated world of May 10th 1994. She was a little disturbed by Kai and what he was about but she needed to know why it was so important to get Bonnie back.

"Either that, or they both have a thing for Cosby sweaters." I teased as I spoke I looked up to see a man appears several feet away from us.

"I didn't know I had guests. You've met Kai?" He asked as he began to approach us and I step in front of Isabella as I didn't like the look of this guy.

"Met him? Watched him die, watched him come back to life. Why? You know him?" He looked at the four of us and I didn't know how to take him. He didn't seem like a threat but then again appearances are always deceiving.

"Yeah. He's my son. I'm Joshua Parker." So this was the guy who threw Kai into that prison world. Maybe coming all this way wasn't a bad idea at all as he just might be the link to getting Bonnie out.

"Damon Salvatore." I extended my hand to him and we shook hands.

"Invisique." I heard him say under his breath and I looked around and I saw that Stefan and Alaric look around in confusion. While Isabella began to look around in fear.

"What the hell just happened? Dad!" She began to yell. I didn't understand what was up with her I was standing like a foot away from her.

"They can't see you anymore, Damon, which means they also can't see this." Joshua holds up his hand toward my head I began to groan in pain clutching my head and sinking to the ground. I tried to stay focused but the pain was unbearable to the point I passed out.

Siena P.O.V

Coming back from New Orleans I knew I had to mends back in Mystic Falls firstly with Elena and then with Caroline. I did a lot of reflecting on my way back home and I thought about what I would do if I was Caroline. I know if it was Damon in Nico situation I would have done the same I'm not going to deny that. I guess with being his mom and being on the other side of it all I didn't look at it from there point of view. Nico is lost for now and I know when he is back which he will be he be wanting Caroline. For some reason my son loves her and I get it she got that buzz of positivity about her. So for Nico sake when he came back from wherever Lucile going to drag him back from I want there to be peace. With Elena I'm tired period just arguing with her if anything with this whole Nickar thing I need her more than ever. Of course I'm not going to tell her what going on with him not because I don't trust her it's just less people know the better. I don't want it slipping to Damon about it because he come back and just deal with Nickar once and for all. Forgetting that his actually in habiting out son body.

When I arrived I didn't go home I went straight to Whitmore. Turning up at Elena and Caroline dorm room had them both not at ease. So I started with my speech with Caroline stating how I felt about all this from a mom point of view. She didn't say much I'm guessing that's because she thought that I would snap at her. Then I began to tell her I understood her action and why she held back the information. Things soon turned around and I had a very happy Elena as she felt stuck in the middle in all of this. So all the bad blood was gone and the vibe changed as Elena brought a bottle of tequila to celebrate forgiving and forgetting. After a few shots I suggested that we should have like a huge dinner with all out friends being there kinda like Thanks Giving. But it will be Friend-Giving instead. Of course Caroline starts to write out a list of things we needed while Elena insisted that Stefan wasn't to come. Well I knew that wasn't going to be a problem as Damon along with Isabella, Stefan and Ric were all on their bring Bonnie back mission. Of course I couldn't mention any of that to them but all I did say was that Damon had Isabella and there gonna be coming back soon.

I don't know what happened one moment I'm drinking away the next I'm waking up with headache and hangover. When I looked around I notice I was still in the dorm laying on Bonnie bed. Sudden drill Sargent Caroline appears out of nowhere reeling off the plans for this dinner. I just buried my head back into the pillow as it was far too early for any of this. When I finally came around I had Elena talking to me about telling Liam that she's a vampire. Apparently he had been doing some investigating on some girl who played lady Whitmore the night corn maze. It literally went over my head as it was too early to be hearing about all this. All I knew is that wasn't a good move personally because as much as Elena talks about there being a future with Liam I knew otherwise. Not because Liam a bad guy or that I didn't think he was good enough for her. My little sister still in love with Stefan and Liam is a rebound. It's not fair on her and on Liam as I could see he genuinely likes her. Of course she didn't want to listen so I let her practice her speech. It wasn't going well to honest as she emphasized a little too much on the word vampire. So I told her my view on it that it would be best to just compel him rather go through all this. That was wrong thing to say as Elena began to rant about lying that was my que to leave.

I left the dorm and went home to get ready before this meal that Caroline had solely began to set up. She was really making a huge effort maybe it's because we made amends plus it is a very Caroline thing to take control. I didn't take me long to get ready and when I arrived back at Whitmore I was told this lunch was being held in one of the main room. When I arrived it was all looked amazing like I was literally speechless at the effort that Caroline went to. Then the question of when was Isabella and Damon going to turn up started. Thankfully I was saved by my cell with Ric calling me with an update with what was going on. What I tend to forget is the fact that Elena and Caroline both have vampire hearing and found out about what they were up to. I got mixed emotions from the both of them about hiding the fact Bonnie was alive.

Like I told them both there was hope to bring her back and there was no need for further hostility about all of it. People started to turn up for the dinner first was Jo who personally I was grateful to see. She was always full of life and the fact she brings such a smile to Ric face made her the perfect person to hang with today. We all sat around the table to the usual suspects plus two newbie Luke and Liv. There was clear tension around the table with Elena glancing over at Liam. Tyler and Liv seem to be having some kind of relationship issue. The only one who was laid back was Luke who was watching some home movie on his phone. When a voice sounded really familiar on the video I sounded like Jo. It was confirmed as soon as she walked into the room and it was revealed that Jo was Liv and Luke big sister. Real big bombshell to drop at the start of dinner.

"So if you don't know each other, then how did you all just happen to end up at the same tiny liberal arts school?" Caroline questioned Jo as all of this was really mind blowing. I just kept looking at the three of them and I couldn't see the resemblance. How didn't they know of each other until now? I mean Whitmore not exactly that huge for them not to bump into each other once.

"We had a family friend here... Sheila Bennett." Jo spoke nervously as she glanced at her brother and sister. I knew that name and it was Bonnie grams that she spoke of so often about. She helped Bonnie embrace her magic until she died due to Damon wanting to free Katherine from the tomb that she was never in.

"You knew Bonnie's grams?" Elena spoke a little stunned. I think Elena in general today was surprised by a lot of things especially about Bonnie still be alive. I think that put on hold with her fessing up to Liam what she is which I still think there no need to tell him. Like I told her compel him and be done with all the questions but no this is my sister Elena who likes to complicate things.

"She took me under her wing. She also helped my family put Kai away." I felt my jaw drop as she mention the name Kai and that when I began to piece everything together. I wanted to be sure that I was on the right track.

"Kai? Wh... Kai as in Damon's Kai?" I heard he was a totally lunatic and I apparently had the pleasure in meeting him when I went to this prison world to help Bonnie get her magic back. Don't recall any of it but why would Damon lie to me so I knew it had to be the truth,

"As in our brother, my twin." I stared at Jo and the twins and they all held the same expression. This had to be a freaking joke Kia was Jo Twin? She normal and he is.... A psycho!

"There are two sets of twins in your family?" Caroline asked with curiosity in her voice. If there was two sets of twins that really rare occurrence to happen. Then again isn't there coven called Gemini coven meaning coven of twins?

"Yeah, there were until my coven put Kai in a prison world." I could see that Liv looked really uncomfortable about all this whereas Luke seemed fine. I don't know how I would be if I had a sibling like Kai. Then again I have two sisters which at some point both inflicted some form of pain on me. Families really do suck at times.

"Now there's just Luke and me." Liv spoke with some kind of resentment in her voice. I think there was clearly something we were missing here as she really don't seem that happy to see big sis.

"I'm sorry. Did you say coven?" I heard Liam speak up as he stood at the table looking at. See this was another reason why I told Elena to uninvited him. As when we had these kinda gathering something supernatural always tends to pop up.

"Oh, my God. Liam... "Elena looks significantly at Liv and Luke "Is still here." That didn't highlight the situation even more. Geez my sister sometimes can be stupid.

"I think he meant "oven"." Tyler spoke trying to cover up what Liv had said but she didn't seem overly bother about it. She looked more bitter than usual which is kind of shocking.

"Yeah." Elena added this was ridiculous I thought she would have done something to fix it. I got up from my sit smiling as I walked over to Liam. Who still looked shell shocked by it all but that will soon change.

"Oh, look! We don't have a wine opener on the table." I looked into Liam eyes and began to compel him "Liam I'm sure you have a wine opener in your room. Why don't you get it? Take your time." I winked at him and he turns to leave under my compulsion. I turned back to the table to see them all looking at me like I was the one who did something wrong. "As you were saying, you put Kai away?" I smiled as I walked back to my seat. I wanted to know the deal behind all this I knew one version and that what was told to Damon. To hear another would be kind of interesting.

"Kai killed 4 of our brothers and sisters to make a point, but he was really targeting Lukas and Olivia." Jo spoke nervously before taking a sip of her wine. Why would Kai want to kill innocent little kids? Was he really that sick in the head?

"Why them?" Tyler questioned before I could.

"Because in our coven, twins are in line to be leaders." Joe glanced over at the twins and Luke seemed fine but Liv looked like she was going to blow in any moment. So my theory was right with the coven being called Gemini for a reason. Well that seems to be the reason.

"Hence our lame-ass name... Gemini." Liv spoke bitterly before draining her drink. I glance over at Elena who sat there looking a little worried. She knew Bonnie in this prison world with Kai and hearing all this isn't helping her right now.

"Kai wanted to be the leader, but that wasn't possible if Lukas and Olivia were alive."

Flashback - MAY 9, 1994

So I protected them with magic it was the only thing I could do to save them from the fate that Kai had planned for them. I was hiding with Lukas and Olivia but knew once Kai would find us he wouldn't see the twins. I told them to be quite not matter what happened they couldn't make a noise. I could see that they were frighten they were still babies in my eyes they shouldn't be going through all this. Hearing the screams from our other siblings as Kai butchered them. Kai lifts the bed and turns it over. Lukas and Olivia have disappeared leaving me alone to face Kai. Which just pissed him off more.

"Where are they?" He demanded. I couldn't let him get to them I couldn't allow him to hurt them. My brother was born without his own magic. He can only draw it from others. It made him feel like a freak. My parents saw him acting out, isolating himself, and they realized that he'd never be capable of leading our coven. So they kept having children until another set of twins were born. I watched as Kai opens an armoire but the children aren't there. He kicks it, breaking the doors. While I sobbed on the floor I was so frighten then he was going to find them. Kai figured it out, and he snapped he picks up a baseball bat "Where are they?!" I didn't say anything and Kai kicks me hard in the stomach; I screamed in pain.

"Run!" I shouted at the twins as they appear from under the cloaking spell and run into the next room; Kai follows the sound they made.

Present Day

"He was a psychopath, so they sent him away. Kai went to his prison, Jo dodged a bullet, and now the leadership falls on us." Liv voice shook as she spoke and it made sense why she was so mad now. She didn't want to have that responsibly but would it be such a bad thing to run her coven?

"OK. Well, now that we've all gotten to know each other a little bit better, could someone please pass the dinner rolls?" I looked over at Caroline as she was acting so causally about all this. That was really inconsiderate of her. I knew she upset about Nico being locked up but this matter right now about Kai and twins and everything we just learnt was kind of worrying.

"Sorry that my family drama isn't appropriate dinner conversation, Caroline." Liv spoke bitterly and she had a right to be pissed with Caroline like I said that was really not called for.

"That's not what I meant. It's-" Caroline was really failing at correcting her mistake meaning opening her mouth. Liv stands up and starts to leave.

"Liv-" Tyler began to say but she cuts him off in mid-sentence.

"Just... Leave me alone." Liv leaves and who could blame her after reliving all that again. I thought the family I had was dysfunctional with my siblings constantly testing me. Then a son who good one moment then bad the next. A husband who impulsive and will do some crazy irrational thing at time. But what they went through in that one night having one member of their family hunting each of them down. You look up the word Dysfunctional in the dictionary I'm pretty sure the picture beside it will be of Kai.

Damon P.O.V

I woke up and found myself lying on a sofa. I groaned in pain as my head was killing me I tried to sit up and sees that lunatic Joshua standing across the room holding up a hand.

"Just need some information. Not looking to make enemies." He had to be kidding no enemies? This guy just fried my brains out that not an act of kindness. What was his deal?

"Funny way of showing it, buddy." I spoke as I got up from the sofa and notice I was inside the invisible house. What did he want from me? I watched as he looked at me intensely.

"You were trapped with Kai. I need to know how you got out." So he was interested in Kai and my great escape from repeating the same day over and over.

"Ohh. Strangest months of my life. That whole repeating the same day thing, phew, disconcerting." The look on his face he didn't like my sarcasm to all that but I wasn't going to spill to a guy who fries my brain out to get information.

"Is Kai still there?" He spoke with concern in his voice. That indicated to me that he wasn't on team Kai and wanted to him to stay there.

"Yeah he is, with my friend Bonnie, which leads me to why I'm here." That was the sole reason why I came here to find a way to get her out that would be the Ascendant. That was the only piece that was needed to try and get over there grab Bonnie bring her back. It was all as simple as that.

"Does Kai know how to escape?" Once again he seemed nervous. Something told me if Kai was to escape it would be a big problem for Joshua. He did say his surname was Parker which was the same as Kai so this was a family member who probably threw him in there.

"Look. I'll tell you everything you want to know, but first, I need something from you. Its round, about yea big, a bunch of little gears and wheels and things. It's a lot harder to describe than I thought." He arched his brow as I attempted to describe the ascendant. Once we had that we could figure out the spell now I knew that we needed Bennett blood for the spell. We didn't have a Bennett to hand but what we did have was Siena who the Bennett's are descendant from. So her blood flows through their veins which make it all a little less complicated,

"The Ascendant." He turned away from me looking at something on the mantel. I wasn't here to play games I just wanted that piece of junk so I can bring back the girl who brought hope into my life again. I want to do the same for her as I know being where she is with that douche she will be going insane.

"Yeah. You know it. Where is it?" I asked as I turned him to face me. He seemed liked the type of guy that wasn't just going to hand it over and that might be a little problem for me.

"Why would I give you the key to my son's prison?" He had a point of why would he hand it over. I mean I think we can both relate with having psycho sons. Maybe I should throw Nickar in there with Kai that would be interesting.

"Because I'll say please?" He didn't seem amused with my comment but what else could I really do? He was the only thing standing in my way right now to get that Ascendant.

"Do you have any idea what it feels like to come home and find 4 of your children dead, another one impaled, two running for their lives? Do you think that image has ever left my mind?" I kind of felt sorry for him as a father myself and seeing my only son attack my daughter I kind knew how that felt. It like a constant nightmare reeling in your mind that you can't shake off as much as you try. He began to tell me the story of what happened the night of May 9th 1994. It was even more gruesome than what Kai disrobed. He wanted to merge with Jo aka Ric new girl who the psychopaths twin sister. Merging meaning there powers and something else I didn't quite understand. I stood there a little taken back by this story as I watched Joshua lights some candles with magic. As it was getting darker in the room due to the sun going down.

"So when you say merge, you don't actually mean merge, do you?" I just needed to clarify that because it all sounded too crazy.

"That's exactly what I mean. If Kai gets out, he'll head straight for Jo. His ability to siphon magic will overwhelm Jo, and she will die, and our coven will be left to the whims of a madman." Yeah Kia was that I see that side to him too many times. "Also your wife won't be safe either he will come for her once he got all that power..." I had to stop him right there because I didn't like the sound of any of this.

"Hold up. What do you mean about my wife? What the hell will Kai do to her?" The thought of Kai coming near her made my blood boil as I saw what he did to Bonnie a few time. I saw the pain she went through and over my dead body will I let Kai come anywhere near Siena.

"She is the dimidium sanguinis. The most powerful supernatural being on this earth" This wasn't the first time I heard that about Siena. "Your wife is from the purest of magic you combine that with white magic you have something truly powerful. Something that powerful Kai will come for if he was to merge with Jo" I didn't like any of what I just heard there and lucky we had the wonder twins that would do this merge instead.

"Which is now moot thanks to Blond and Blonder, thank goodness. Look. Let's talk about this Ascendant." I just needed it to bring Bonnie back and he knows so much about Siena he would know that she would not allow for that douche Kai come back our world.

"I won't let him out, Damon." He warned me. I think daddy dearest needed to face fact that Kai will get out of there eventually and even more so now when he saw me leave.

"All right. I wasn't gonna say anything because you're his dad and all, but if he gets out, I'll just kill him. It's that simple." I watched him tense up as I said that which meant he still held some kind of love for Kai.

"I've watched Jo her whole life. She's done well on her own, survived war, become a doctor, but if Jo merges with Kai, she will cease to exist. Kai won't just be our coven's problem. He'll be huge problem for you and your family" His words of warning was really getting to me as now I'm worry about the fact of Kai getting out. But I had seen Siena handle herself I'm sure she could take Kai down. "Phesmatos incendere ad pulvox." I heard him mutter taking me out of my thoughts. I see him drop some kind of locket into some kind of hot plate as I looked at it I saw a picture of younger Jo.

"What the hell are you doing?" I demanded from him as I watched the locket with Jo's picture is melting.

"If Kai has access to an Ascendant and is sharing his prison with the Bennett witch, he will eventually find his way out. At least, this will keep him from merging." He had to be kidding me he was going to kill his own daughter to stop that happening? What kind of dad does something like that?

"You're just gonna take out Jo?" I couldn't believe what I was seeing. He was willing to take his own daughter out so Kai doesn't succeeded. This was nuts and I couldn't let it happen. I'm not going to have another woman that comes into Ric life be taken from him.

"The coven comes before family." I rushed at Joshua with vampire speed and shoves him up against a wall, but Joshua immediately subdues me with magic. I groaned in pain collapsing onto the ground.

Siena P.O.V

I thought my family had issue but it seems that the Parker had their own messed up story. Kai had some serious issue like psychopath all so he could be the leader of their coven. This is a reason why I don't like witches half the time as even family don't mean anything. It will always be about power and nothing else that pretty messed up. With Liv and Luke seeing their big sister after all that happened it would be a shock. Then to hear the story again of how their older brother was on a mission to hunt down these two innocent kids. Not a good thing. I just felt a little confused by all this like my brain couldn't process why Kai would do this for one. Second I didn't get why Liv was so upset by it all if her and Luke were going to be the new leaders. I didn't understand the actual issue to all this. I think the only way I'm going to find out what going on is to just ask the question on my mind.

"OK. I think I may have missed something. If you and Liv can both be the leaders of your coven, why did she just get so upset?" I just didn't understand why Liv would get so upset about it all. I'm guessing being a leader of a coven was a good thing rather than bad.

"Because there aren't two leaders, are there, Jo?" Luke responded then looked over at Jo. So only one of them would be a leader there no need to get upset about it. Liv don't seem to be the type who wants to lead Liv was more of your free spirit type.

"In our coven's tradition, after their 22nd birthday, the twins merge their strength. The stronger one wins, absorbing their twin's power, and the weaker of the two..." Jo began to explain but stopped in mid-sentence. I looked to see Tyler looking directly at Jo with a face filled with concern.

"The weaker of the two what?" He demanded. I could see that Tyler cared for Liv a lot. Actually I've not seen him this happy since he and Caroline were dating and that felt like a life time ago.

"The weaker one dies." Luke spoke flatly as he stood up and left. I sat there speechless and totally understood why Liv behaved the way she did. Jo phone began to ring and she looked at the screen and excused herself from the table.

"This all become real awkward" I heard Caroline say and I shot a look at her heartless comments wasn't needed right now. All she seemed to care and worry about is this stupid dinner.

"You really have a huge heart Caroline" I got up from my seat and went looking for Jo. I can't imagine what was running through her mind after seeing her siblings all this time. Then to talk about Kai again and the traumatic events of what happened that night. It all messed up and not something that someone like Jo should go through or Liv and Luke. This Gemini coven sounded all a little messed up too with this whole merging thing when one twin has to die. As I walked in I heard Jo on the phone to Ric I didn't want to intrude but I wanted to know she was okay.

"I think I met your dad." Ric spoke a little nervously. Which had me a little worried as Damon and Isabella with him.

"Well, that's improbable considering he lives in Portland." She joked as she turned around to see me standing in the doorway. I gave her apologetic look she mouthed 'It's fine' I gave a small smile as I entered the room further.

"Believe it or not, I'm actually in Portland." Jo looked horrified as she heard that he was in Portland. I don't think everything was going to great on their Road trip and I didn't get why they were in Portland. Then the penny dropped Jo dad meaning Kai dad and he probably the reason why Kai in that prison world. Something telling me that things aren't going great out there.

"Ric, you need to tell me what's going on right now." Jo insisted as she began to pace "Ric, listen to me. If my dad knows that you want to open Kai's world, he'll think you're going to free him. He's going to retaliate." Hearing her say that got me even more worried of what Damon went there for and I don't see her father giving it up.

"They went there to get the Ascendant" Joe eyes widen as she shook her head and ran her fingers through her hair.

"I hate to break it to both of you, but you've traveled 3,000 miles for nothing. The Ascendant's with me." Jo looked back at me as I stood there stunned. I could see she was angry about all this and who could blame her I felt bad not saying something before about this.

"You got to be kidding me, right?" I heard Ric say. Jo looked at me with wide eyes the colour began to fade from her face. Suddenly she collapses to her knees in front of me.

"Jo? Are you OK?" I rushed over to her and I sense something wasn't right like magic was being used on her.

"Something's wrong." Jo spoke as she panted and held onto her head. What the hell was going on with her?

"Jo?" I heard Ric voice from her cell that was on the floor. Jo stumbles forward as Elena and Liam came into the room and try to help her to her feet.

"Jo, what's wrong?" Elena began to panic then looked over at me "Siena what going on?" I just knelt there a little speechless with what was going on. Some thing or someone was trying to hurt Jo and they were using magic to do that.

"I think my dad..." Jo cried out in pain. Her legs began to give away but Liam held on to her firmly to not let her fall.

"Jo, what the hell is going on?" Elena was becoming frantic while I was trying to think what I can do to stop this person from inflicting pain on her.

"My dad's trying to kill me." Jo grabs at her head, groaning in pain. Why would her dad want to kill her? What the hell was going on in Portland?

"What the hell is she talking about? Her dad's trying to kill her?" Liam asked looking at Elena. I think we all have the tendency to actually forget that his here. Elena looked at me and I just shook my head as she the reason why his all mixed up in all this now. She better clear it all up in the end.

"Jo, Jo, answer the phone." I heard Ric voice coming from Jo phone and scurried over to pick it up.

"Ric?" I tried to get back onto my feet while trying to process all that going on right now.

"Siena, what the hell's going on?" Ric spoke with frustration in his voice and I knew he was worried about Jo and right now he needed to be. As it seems her dad just as psycho as Kai to try and kill his own child.

"Something's happening to Jo. You have to find her dad and stop him from whatever he's doing to her." I looked over at Joe who was still in considerable pain I had no idea what her dad was doing to her but if he killing her he succeeding. Between Damon, Ric and Stefan I'm sure they would be able to stop him for causing more harm to Jo.

"Well, that's gonna be problem because even if we could see the house I haven't been invited in." Stefan spoke and it sounded like big issue I walked over and held the phone to Jo ear.

"Invite him in." Jo looked at me frowning and I glared at her. She may not like the fact they might hurt her dad but he doesn't seem concerned about her life right now.

"You can come in!" She spoke through her pain. It was horrible to see her like this I just didn't understand after all this time why her dad would do this to her.

"But we can't even see the damn house." Ric spoke in frustration that going to be an issue how are they going to get into a house that can't even see?

"They need magic!" Jo starts coughing up blood "Crap." Her hands were covered in blood and I don't think we had much time until her dad is successful in killing her.

"Elena, we have to do something. Definite signs of hemoptysis." Liam spoke his medical jargon and it wasn't helping right now with our issue.

"Shut up, Liam." Jo yells at him then she looks to me "Ask them if they see an old tree stump in the front yard?" Jo could barely speak and I could see that she was fading I had to do something to help her.

"Yeah, I see it." Stefan spoke breathlessly.

"Go there now!" Jo cried out in pain and I hung up on them. I couldn't stand here no long I'm meant to be this powerful dimidium sanguinis I know I could do something to stop her father.

"Jo I can't stand here and see you in pain like this...." I walked over to the couch and knelt down placing my hand on her chest. As I did there was a dim blue glow beneath my hand penetrating into Jo chest.

"Elena what the hell is your sister doing?" Liam asked with worry in his voice and I didn't need Mr. PHD asking what the hell I was doing.

"Something I should have done from the start. Get him the hell out of here Elena. NOW!" I notice that my voice sounded different as I spoke as I looked at Elena and she looked terrified. She grabbed hold of Liam taking him out of the room. I looked to Jo who held the same expression as Elena did.

"Siena..... Yo-your ey-eyes" She spoke with fear in her voice but I wasn't trying to scare for all I wanted to do was stop her father from hurting her.

"This might hurt and little but your dad going to feel it a lot more" I didn't even let her reply before pushing my hand into her chest and I felt the magic that was trying to take over her used by her father.

"Argggggghh" Jo screamed as I tried to stop what her dad was doing. It was intense magic and I don't know if I'm able to stop it. All I can do I try as I refuse for Ric to lose another woman who he has fallen for over supernatural crap.

Isabella P.O.V

I have no idea what going on right now with one moment dad talking about Jo being this crazy guy Kia sister. The next some guy called Joshua turns up he seemed normal enough when he spoke to my dad. Then suddenly they both disappeared along with the house before our eyes. I didn't understand what was going on right now and Stefan was trying to calm me down as I kept yelling for my dad. I had no idea what this guy was going to do to him if he was going to hurt him or something. This was all to do with that mad man Kai and this Joshua obviously took my dad for a reason. As Ric and Stefan kept telling me to calm down that my dad would be fine I didn't believe them. There was something in the pit of my stomach telling me that this guy didn't hid all this from us so he could have a private conversation with my dad. I was totally right to be worried because as Ric was talking to his girlfriend Jo she was having some kind of seizure. Curtsey of that creepy guy who took my dad inflicting pain on her which wasn't cool whatsoever.

It was an intense conversation as I could see Ric being upset and my mom was trying to calm him down. Apparently we needed magic for this house to appear again so I tried to focus on the house. Walking towards it thinking it would appear and nothing. This was annoying the hell out of me as I didn't know what the hell was going on in there. Hearing Jo being in pain wasn't something that was pleasant to hear. Jo had left her magic here she did as the same as Bonnie and stored her magic into an item for safe keeping. I watched as Stefan and Ric sift through a bunch of leaves in the tree stump and find a knife.

"What the hell are we gonna do with a knife?" Stefan looked at the knife and I took it out of his hands as I knew exactly why Jo told us to look for it.

"It's Jo's version of Ms. Cuddles." I threw the knife toward where the house should be. Suddenly the house reappears the knife stuck into one of the porch posts.

"Nice shot." Ric sounded impressed but I wasn't interested in all that. My concern was about my dad and what that psycho witch was doing to him. I ran towards the front door and walked in as I did I saw my dad moaning in pain on the floor. I looked up to see Joshua going towards the fireplace and takes a wooden candlestick off the mantel. He breaks it, creating a rudimentary stake. He raises his hand as though to stake my dad I just felt frozen on the spot. Then Stefan enters with vampire speed holding the knife against Joshua's throat. Joshua subdues him with magic; Stefan falls to the ground. That when I felt like this anger build up within me not only this this guy attempt to kill my dad now his hurt my uncle. He turned to me raising his hand as he was going to cast some kind of spell on him but I had to stop him.

"Phesmatos Fumos Extas" That stopped him from doing whatever infliction spell he was trying to do on me. "You jerk you tried to kill my dad! That my uncle you hurt!!" I yelled at him as that was not cool. I will not let anyone hurt any members of my family not while I'm breathing. "Los triforce comète. Los triforce comète" This was a spell that Aleeya taught me that disable a witch magic but I felt that he was fighting me. He was powerful not like any normal witch that I know for sure.

"Lumen de sanguine you are still new to your powers. But your mother she pretty Impressive" I could feel that something was overpowering me "Invisique." Then Joshua has disappeared before me.

"Arghhh asshole" I yelled into thin air but I knew he was here somewhere. I turned around to see Stefan and Dad getting up from the floor still in pain from what Joshua did to the both of them. That just anger me further and his stupid words of 'you are still new to your powers' really ticked me off.

"Well, I guess the, uh, disappearing act's their shtick." Stefan tried to add some humour to the situation but the look on my dad face he didn't seem in the mood for that.

"Forget the disappearing act. Isabella when did you start doing magic?" He looked at me with mixture of anger and confusion. I guess I never really told them about all that I didn't see it being important it's not like I did magic all the time. Like when I was with Aleeya and most of the time it was force more than anything and it only worked when Aleeya would piss me off.

"Since like I can remember...." I didn't know what else to really say to him and I hated that look he was giving me now. The one of he don't know what to think of me right now the same look he gave Nico after he attacked me.

"You didn't think to kind of tell us out there when we were trying to figure out a way to get in?" Stefan asked and I looked over at him and I could see that he was annoyed too.

"It's not like I have total control over it" Which was the truth it just came and went. I guess that Joshua was right I didn't have control over my powers. "I saw what he was about to do to you daddy an-and...." It was all upsetting me as I felt like I was on trial here when all I was doing is protecting my dad.

"Isabella it's okay. I'm okay" He embraced me in a hug which felt good because the thought of losing my dad really did disturb me. "Hey. Anybody hear from Jo?" He spoke casually while still having a tight hold of me. From him saying that he knew what was going on with her. I knew my mom wouldn't allow anything to happen to her. So we began to explain to him about the conversation that was held while he was held hostage by the original Parker psycho. To say dad wasn't impressed that we came all this way for nothing would be a total understatement. We were all walking back to the car he was letting his frustration out. "All right. So let's just get this straight. We went to the airport, we took off all our clothes for security just so I can come out here, have my brain scrambled by papa Kai, who by the way can disappear into thin air... Poof... only to find Jo's rusty knife full of magic." He turned to look at me "Then to also find out that my daughter is some kind of witch....."I went to open my mouth to speak but stopped myself. I knew he was mad and there was no point in fueling that rage. I think he was more annoyed that Bonnie was living another day in that alternative world with Kai.

"And we learned that the Ascendant, i.e. the only reason we flew our asses out here in the first place, is actually with Jo at Whitmore, 5 minutes from where we live. Great." Stefan sounded just annoyed as my dad but none of this was actually Jo fault if they weren't so sneaky about it all maybe this trip wouldn't have happened.

"Jo said she kept it with her to ensure that Kai would never be released." Ric added as we all stopped at the car and my focus went straight to my dad who I could see was plotting something away in his mind.

"Genius. Great. Then we go home. Shotgun. Come on." He was about to get in the car when Ric stopped him and my dad didn't seem please by that. Both Stefan and I shared a look as I think we both knew that wasn't a wise move after what happened.

"Guys, hey. We can't do this, OK? We need to find another way, and one that doesn't end up with my girlfriend dead." I felt sorry for Ric because he was right Jo didn't deserve to get hurt in all this. There had to be a way for that not to happen and I'm sure that my mom figuring out a way right now to assure that doesn't happen.

"Girlfriend? You've been on, like, 3 dates." I stood there and I felt my jaw gap open as that was so insensitive him to say. Everyone even myself could see that Jo meant a lot to Ric and if the shoes was on the other foot my dad would be the same as Ric.

"Nice, daddy." He looked to me arching his brow not assumed with my comment.

"What? I'm just saying he barely knows her, and her literal evil twin is over there with Bonnie right now." I understood all that and that Bonnie meant a great deal to him but Jo meant a great deal to Ric. There had to be a way to do this without anything like what happened today to repeat again.

"Guys, I will do what I can to help, but we're not letting her brother out, all right? The Ascendant is off the table." Ric spoke firmly and my dad smiled at him as he approached him. He places his hand on Ric shoulder and looked into this eyes.

"OK. Get the Ascendant from Jo. Do whatever you got to do to get it, you understand?" I turned to Stefan who stood there with a stunned expression matching mine.

"I understand." Ric replied in a monotone voice.

"Did he just compel him?" Stefan nodded his head and I turned back to my dad "What are you doing?" I half shouted at him as that was so wrong on too many levels. Ric meant to be his friend and my dad should actually respect his wishes not to involve Jo in any way.

"What? You got a better idea?" He raised his voice to me and I didn't reply to him. He grabbed his bag and gets into the car.

"This is the side to your dad I didn't want you to see" Stefan whispered to me before getting into the car. I guess I just see a side to my dad that I don't like. What kind of person takes away their friends freewill all Ric was doing is defending his girlfriend. I think when I get back I need to have a mom and daughter moment about the way dad behaving. Maybe she might be able to knock some sense into him for being such a douche. Well here hoping my mom has mystical powers to make him see his wrongs.

Nickar P.O.V

Oh it felt good to be back I honestly don't know what happened for me to leave this body but it seem that Nico did the stupidest act by turning into a vampire. How foolish of him and the one around him to think that it would be the one thing to be rid of me. For a moment when Nico stabbed me in that other world we were in I thought I was gone that he won. I mean I did fall into darkness but everything changed once I saw her. Who is her you are wondering? The girl that the pathetic excuse of a dimidium sanguinis called her daughter. The mere sight of her stirred up so many emotions. Emotions that had been in dormant for nearly two thousand years I thought I would never see that face again. There it was in the flesh staring right back at me Cara. Yes Cara the woman who I loved more than anything. The woman who I betrayed my own brother for. The woman who I made a deal with Vassago all for so I could be with her and she turn on me. I lost every single thing because of her my family. My body and mind. I was put through hell because of her now she's back! Well not fully back from what I sense from her but the girl that I had by the throat was a double of Cara. Seeing her after all this time I let my anger and rage out and tried to kill her. Of course all her protectors came to her rescues and I was finally put down by the dimidium sanguinis.

I woke up in some cell weaken like some kind of animal. I was drain of my blood and it seems that the person who had great pleasure in doing that was that vial vampire Damon. He knew who I was but everyone around him thought he was some kind of madman. That he was letting his rage consume him. I guess Damon saw the real me when I reviled myself to him when he killed his beloved. Of course I still had the dimidium sanguinis fooled she believed I was her innocent Nico who had been wrongfully thrown in here. Oh how much I had to endure with her each and every day that she turned up mothering me. I just wanted to scream at her and tell her to leave me the hell alone. I knew I couldn't blow my cover as she was the only person that could eventually get me out of here and do what I need to do.

Well my moment of planning were totally destroyed when dimidium sanguinis come back with some kind of witch. Who by the way revealed in the end who I was. Of course I tried to keep the charade as much as I could but this witch Lucile was one who couldn't be fooled. She made sure that the mother figure was sent home with her British bull dog called Enzo. I never thought of the pair of them being BFF not with the way things ended so bitterly between them. So I show Lucile my true nature I didn't need to hide no longer and she kept talking about the light was going to bring Nico back. Typical witchery talk these witches believed in some high power and she was staring at one of the member of that family. After a very long night of her attempting to drive the weakling out of me and failing miserably she finally left me in peace. I sat here most of the day trying to figure out a way to escape as I was not going to allow Lucile bring Nico back. If he could actually come back. I wasn't going to allow these iron bars to hold me back no longer. With what little blood they gave me wasn't strengthen me much and I couldn't think of a way to get the amount I needed. Just as I thought of that it was like the gods answered my prays. When blond vampire harlot walks in with a bag full of goodies that this was one person who I knew I could manipulate.

"Hey." I spoke weakly as I tried to get up from the ground. As I did I could see the concern fill Caroline face she was still hopelessly in love with this Nico. Like I said this will all work to my advantage right now.

"That dinner party totally sucked you know drama like always. Needless to say, there were leftovers." She slides through the bars a paper bag and the smell of the food was vial but of course I smiled at her weakly to continue with Nico charade.

"You made me a doggie bag." I spoke as I looked into the bag "I don't think this is the kind substance I'm needed Care" I looked up at her as she stood there with sorrowful expression "Not that I don't appreciate the gesture but I'm hungry for something else" Caroline shook her head and sigh loudly and I knew from that she was caving in slightly already.

"Nico I'm not even meant to be here...." She began to say but I stopped her in mid-sentence as I needed to just convince her a little more.

"But you came here because you love me" I went to the bars and held on to them to keep myself standing. "Because you can see what my dad doing by keeping me locked up is wrong" I knew Caroline didn't agree with the mad vampire by keeping me in this cage. I could see from her expression it confirmed that just needed to work on her a little.

"Nico you tried to kill your sister" Caroline was trying to keep her emotions in check but her love for this Nico was far greater than what is right and what is wrong.

"I know. It was a moment of madness." I tried to justify my actions and I wished I killed the little bitch but she still breathing for now. "I'm sure my dad done something reckless before" That I knew for a fact Damon Salvatore was impulsive and had done many wrong and Caroline knows that. "Care I just need some blood. Please that all I'm thinking about" That was me playing on her emotions all I could think about was that red liquid oozing down my throat.

"Nico I don't carry a blood bag in my purse. I would need...." She began to say but I knew of another method that would be just as suffice.

"Let me feed from you" Caroline looked to me with wide eyes but I knew any form of blood would do right now. "Okay it won't be like human blood but it will curb the craving" She stood there not uttering a word as she was trying to process what I had told her. "Please Care. Please do this for me" I began to plead to her and I knew my pathetic pleads would get to her because this was Caroline Forbes the girl who hated to see the man she loves in pain.

"Okay" She held out her wrist into the bars as I looked at her blue veins and the sound of her blood pumping through her body I felt myself turn. I bit into her wrist she flitch slightly but her blood tasted so sweet and I could feel myself getting stronger by the second. "Nico that's enough." Caroline spoke with worry in her voice as she tried to move her wrist away from me but I held on to it tightly. As my strength was coming back at fast rate. "Nico you are hurting me" Caroline spoke with panic in her voice and with my free hand I pulled the door inwards and the lock broke. I broke away from her wrist and watched as she took a few steps back with such fear in her eyes.

"Caroline, Caroline you still can't tell us apart" I spoke her with a smirk on my face as I walked out of the prison I had been in for god knows how long.

"Oh my god! No! Your dead. You can't be back." She kept stepping back as I approached her and that fear she held gave me a sense of a rush. A rush that I've been craving for a while now.

"There is only one god and his name is Death. And there is only one thing we say to Death: "Not today." I teased her "You on the other hand might be seeing the grim reaper sooner than you thought" I grabbed hold of her by the throat pinning her against the wall. I notice she looked different more vibrate look in her eyes. She tried to fight me off but there was no use as my strength out matched her tenfold.

"You're a MONSTER!!!" She screamed in my face and I wanted to laugh but instead I leaned into her ear and I could hear her heart pounding as I etch closer.

"Oh, 'monster.' Perhaps you should speak to me more softly then. Monsters are dangerous." I could feel her trembling in my grip and in one quick movement I snapped her neck dropping her to the ground. "There are no heroes...in life, the monsters win" I took one final look at her before walking out.
