Kara stood in front of this mirror, adjusting her dress and fixed up her hair. Her mother came into the room, carrying a white bow to put onto her daughter's hair.
"I've heard you fancy one of the Mikaelsons, "her mother smiled.
Kara laughed and shook her head, "Father arranged me to meet the Lockwood's son. I'm already promised fo another."
Her mother sighed and tied the bow, "you don't have to follow your father's orders. Do what your heart desires, love who you want to love."
Kara looked out the window, seeing Niklaus and Elijah talking to two merchants. She closed her window, and pulled the blinds together. It was best to keep her distance from both of them.

Kara stood applied the last of her makeup, smiling at her own reflection.
"You know, you're like two hours late to the party?"
Kara turned around and faced her older sister, Michelle.
"You know I don't care, right?"
Michelle sighed, "how long are you going to keep up this "twin sister" thing? What if Danielle, Mia, Zella and I find our parents? Then what?"
Kara picked up her purse and started her way out, "I guess I'll just have to deal with it when it comes by."

Mia and Danielle walked inside the house, smiling and waving at everyone. Elena, Caroline, and Bonnie stood to their left, not so far from them.
"Have you guys seen Tyler?" Caroline asked her friends.
Elena pointed over to him, talking amongst some people he knew, "Over there."
Caroline smiled and made her way over to her boyfriend. Damon came walking in, looking over his shoulder.
Elena ran up to him, catching his attention, "Alaric's at home, right?"
"Tucked in bed, safe and sound."
Elena sighed and nodded, eyeing Mia who was coming their way.
"Hey," She smiled. Elena smiled while Damon walked away.
"Sorry, don't mind him," Elena apologized.
"It's okay," Mia laughed, "how's your boyfriend, Stefan.. is it?"
To admit, Mia did feel a little bad for not helping her. If it were to be someone she loved, she would do anything.
"Aside from the fact I haven't been talking to him all summer, I just hope he's okay.. After everything we've been through, I know he's not completely gone."
Mia gave Elena a reassuring hug, "it's good to have hope."
Mia remembered that she has to ask around for her parents, she started by walking over to a blonde lady with short hair.
"Hello," The lady smiled, "Liz Forbes."
"Mia Lennox. I've been looking for my parents, Alannah and Tristan. Do you know them? I heard that you might from the Mayor."
Liz smiled at the sound of their names, "Alannah was a close friend, even if she was here for a short amount of time. We were once talking about how stressful work was, and she said she would love to have a nice vacation somewhere relaxing. But, other than that, nothing else. I'm sorry that they've left you and your sister.. if you need anything just know that I can help you."
Mia thanked Liz for her share of information. She turned around to talk to some more council members, but someone called her to her attention.
"Mia."
She turned and saw Elijah, wearing his usual suit and tie.
"Elijah? What are you doing here?"
"I have some information on your parents," Elijah said. He gestured to the door that lead to the backyard so they could talk in privacy.
"Shall we?"
❦
Klaus and Stefan walked into a bar, looking for a werewolf. They saw him, sitting alone.
"There he is," Klaus smirked and walked over, "Ray? Ray Sutton?"
Ray furrowed his eyebrows and looked around, "Who wants to know?"
"I've been looking everywhere for you. We started in Florida, Pensacola. I met a young chap there who you used to work with before you moved to Memphis, now he directed me to two young women. And they led me here, to you."
Ray stood up, looking nervous, "I think I'll be going."
He tried going the other way, but it was blocked by Stefan.
"I wouldn't do that," Stefan said in a low, monotone voice.
"My friend here is a vampire, he compelled everybody in the bar so don't look to them for any help." Klaus smiled, "I, however, I'm something else. A different kind of monster. I've got some vampire, I've got some wolf."
Ray widened his eyes, "You what?"
"A hybrid, he's both," Stefan sighed a bit at Klaus's cockiness.
"You see, I want to create more of you. Now you being the first werewolf I've come across in many a moon, pun intended Ray," Klaus chuckled, "I need you to direct me to your pack. So, where can I find them Ray?"
"You can't compel me, it won't work," Ray said, pointing out the obvious.
Stefan scratched the back of his head and looked over at Klaus. He turned around and took something out of his pocket.
"Can you bring out the darts please?" Stefan asked the bartender. He turned to Ray, "Tell you what Ray, we're gonna play a little drinking game. Something I like to call, Truth or Wolfsbane."
Klaus gave a devilish smiled, "Oh, this is gonna be fun Ray."

Kara walked up the Lockwood's stairs, then stopping at the door. She sighed, waiting for the Mayor to past by. She saw Elena and Damon walk outside and into their car.
"Is the party really that bad?" Kara asked them.
Damon turned around and rolled his eyes, "Oh, you."
Kara smiled, "Oh, me."
Elena pulled Damon away, "we don't have time for this."
Kara waved at them, "toodles?"
"Mia? What are you doing outside?" Mrs.Lockwood asked, "Come back inside."
Kara smiled and stepped in, gladly accepting the invite, "Actually, I'm Kara. Mia's twin sister, I'm so sorry for my lateness. I had to work on a project, which my sister didn't help me with."
Mrs.Lockwood laughed, "Well, it's good to meet you at least. Enjoy yourself."
Kara smiled and took a glass of champagne, looking around at the people in the room.

"Before you and your parents were separated, you all were attacked. Correct?" Elijah asked. Mia nodded, remembering exactly what happened.
Alannah stood over the stove, making sure the casserole she made wasn't burning.
"Mommy!"
She turned around and saw a little brunette head girl running to her, she jumped into her mother's arms.
"Michelle's being mean to me," The little girl pouted. An older version of the little girl came in, who looked about 16 years old.
"I just told her to not touch my stuff," Michelle said and crossed her arms.
"That's being mean!" The girl pouted.
"Now Mia," Alannah said to her daughter, "It's not nice to do things that other people don't like. Apologize to your sister."
Mia turned to Michelle, "I'm very sorry."
Michelle took her little sister from her mom's arms, spinning her around, "I forgive you!"
A smaller, black haired, little girl came waddling in, "Me too!"
"I was wondering where you were Danielle," Alannah smiled and picked up her youngest daughter.
The sound of laughing and giggling were interrupted by the front door opening. Another girl, who looked about fourteen, came walking in. Her whole soccer uniform covered in dirt as she carried her water bottle.
Tristan came in after her, holding a soccer bag and ball.
"How was the game?" Alannah asked and kissed her husband on the cheek.
"I scored three goals!" Zella smiled, showing her braces.
"No one likes a show off, Zella," Michelle joked.Zella playfully pushed her older sister and ran to the bathroom to shower.
"Make sure you girls are ready by five, we're driving to Mystic Falls to visit a few friends!" Alannah called out to her kids, "Michelle, make sure that Mia and Danielle get dressed."
Michelle nodded and pulled her little sisters to their rooms. Tristan grabbed his wife's hand and kissed her lips. Alannah smiled and pulled in for another one.
"We're going to be a happy family," Tristan reassured, "I promise this time."
Before Alannah could say anything, the glass of windows broke.
"The kids!" Alannah ran upstairs and into Zella's room. She was holding her two sisters, who were shaking in fear.
"Mom, what was that?" Zella asked, her voice quivering.
Alannah pulled out a key from her pocket, "Go to the garage, this is the key to the basement. Take your sisters and stay there until either Dad or I come get you."
"Wait, but−"
"Go!" She growled, pushing the kids forward.
Zella carried Danielle to the garage, with Mia following closely behind.
"AHHH!"
A scream was heard downstairs, Alannah rushed down and saw Michelle being held by a man. His fangs were about to sink into her neck, when Tristan came to stop him. Michelle fell to the ground, still in shock.
"Mom, oh my god." Michelle cried, "this man needed help, so I invited him in and his friends−"
"Go follow yours sisters, they're in the basement. I'll be right behind you," Alannah hugged her daughter one last time.
More vampires showed up, while Michelle ran to the garage, just before Zella closed the door to it.
The room was dark and cold. Zella turned on the light, which only helped a little. There were a few blankets and pillows placed neatly on blankets. On the far left, there were metal chains attached tightly onto the wall. It seems as if this was already prepared for a situation like this to happen.
"Where's Mom and Dad?" Mia asked Michelle, her voice trembling.
Michelle hugged her tightly, "they're coming, don't worry."
"Yes," Mia nodded, "How do you know?"
"I knew your father. He was quite the trouble maker, but only to protect you and your family. He was known enemy to the vampires.z And so was Kara."
Mia shook her head in disbelief, "Elijah. Do you know what you're saying?"
Elijah turned to the wolf, "I've known Kara for 900 years, Mia. She is no twin of yours."
"Are turning this into a joke?"
"You're her doppelgänger, Mia." Elijah said.
She paused for a second and looked at the Original, "Elijah— please tell me you're joking."
Before he could say anything, his neck was snapped and he fell onto the ground. Kara stood behind him, an annoyed look planted on her face.
"He's not joking."
