~Seven years later • Mystic Falls VA~

Hope is walking down the halls of the Salvatore school making sure not a soul saw her. She spots the boy she has been looking for and walks towards him.

"Hey, you have the money?" She asked him making the boy turn around to face her.

He reached into his pocket and handed her the small loan of money for her to take.

Hope sighs as she stares at it. "I'm not gonna ask where you got this." She pulls out two vials of blood and hands them to the boy. "Remember, one now, one after. You sure about this, Henry?" She asked him. Hope was a bit worried but not so much to change his mind.

"Yes." Henry answered with a face of determination.

"Do me a favor. Be discreet." Hope told him then she continued to walk down the halls past Henry.

"You do know you could get into big trouble for turning someone into a hybrid, right?" Hope looked to her left to see her little sister Dove standing in another hallway.

Dove has been listening to the secret meeting ever since it started. She say no point in going to class since she has been studying her mom's spells all her life.

"I'm only in trouble if I get caught." Hope said and continued to walk but Dove stepped in front of her.

"You're not escaping me that easily. You have a plan and Henry was just collateral damage to continue moving the plan forward. Whatever it is your doing, I want in." Dove demanded Hope.

"Sorry, I work alone." Hope said and moved pass Dove and continued walking.

Dove turned around and watch her sister walk away. "Have it your way then, but I am getting in on this plan whether you like it or not, sister." She said to herself then left to go find her other siblings.

~~~

Hope was sitting outside the principle room when a boy with blonde curly hair walked up to her. "You going somewhere?" He asked making Hope look up at him from her seat.

Hope was mesmerized by how hot he looks. Nice curly hair and the blue eyes were a plus for her. She quickly blinked and pulled herself together. "Home. I, uh... I got suspended." She answered as cool and calmly as she could.

"Hope Marshall got suspended?" He joked. Hope didn't want people to know she was a Mikaelson since her father has cut all ties with his kids, but she questions why the rest of her siblings kept the Mikaelson name, but she doesn't care as much to ask them. "Cool." He commented.

"You know what else is cool?" Hope and the boy turned to see Nicholas leaning on a wall right behind Hope. "Leaving my darling sister alone and finding some other girl to hit on. Buh-Bye now." Nicholas said.

The random boy tensed up before looking at Hope again. "I'll see you soon Hope." He said then he walked away.

"I don't remember my love life being any of your concern." Hope said as she finally looked at Nicholas.

"It becomes my concern when I feel fit that he is worthy of my dear sister. Now can you explain to me why you turned Henry into a hybrid?" He asked as he brushed off Hope's accusations.

Hope then realized that Dove have snitched on her and told their siblings. "Dove told you, didn't she?" She asked and leans further into her chair.

"Not only did she tell me, but she said you had this big plan. So, you no me, no plan is a great plan without family involved to help out." Nicholas said.

Soon Maddox, Eric, Hunter, Angel, Dove, and Henrik all came around the corner with the newly turned hybrid Henry in Maddox grasp.

Maddox pushed Henry into the seat next to Hope. "Of all the people you had to turn. This one is a completely dumbass." Maddox complained.

Henry flinched at being called a dumbass so he stares at the ground sadly. "Sorry I got you in trouble." He apologized.

"I said be discreet." Hope said, a bit frustrated that Henry failed to die quietly.

"Yeah, falling out of a tower doing my math class is so discreet. I had a laugh when I heard you scream like a little bitch on your way down." Hunter chuckled and then Henrik slapped him on the arm for being disrespectful but even he couldn't help the smile on his face.

"I had to make sure it work. If I only hurt myself then I would have just healed." Henry defended himself.

"Like their isn't 1000 other ways for people to die. Like drowning in the lake the school have, or electrocuting yourself in the bath tub." Eric said.

"I'm not a person where things go right for them. You ever seen a werewolf with no pecs, who quotes E. E. Cummings? I can already tell I'm getting stronger. You know how good it'll be not to have to take crap from anybody?" Henry boosted and Nicholas rolled his eyes knowing he was talking about how his pack was "bullying" him.

"What makes you think that?" Hope asked him. "You're a hybrid now. You may be able to defend yourself, but they'll only hate you for being different. I don't think that you thought this through, Henry." She said.

The rest of the siblings had a hint of sadness when Hope said this. She completely refused to embrace who she really is and not claiming her real name makes it hard for people to believe that they're all related. She even goes as far as to having small interaction with them all.

"You wouldn't understand." Henry said then he turns around to face the wall again.

"I wouldn't understand?" Hope repeated into a question.

"Hope." Angel called out to her and said girl looked at her older sister. "Nobody in this school knows that you are dad's child like the rest of us. So, Henry here, as idiotic as he is, has a point." She said and Hope looked down knowing Angel was right.

"Your dad's not gonna kill me for getting Hope suspended, is he?" Henry asked as he looked at everyone.

"I wouldn't know. He can't bother to be a dad." Hope said sarcastically.

"Get lose nerd." Nicholas said and Henry quickly ran away. "Now," he sits in the chair Henry previously was sitting, "about this plan of yours."

Hope stared at her brother and sister's and seen the interrogation she was about to get hit with. She gave up knowing she wasn't going to escape, especially if they had cornered her into a literal wall and she was already sitting down.

Hayley finally arrived at the compound stomping her way inside with the kids following behind her a few steps. She couldn't get mad at Nix kids for having a fight or blowing something since she has been called multiple times because of it, but she is mad that Hope basically set the fate of a innocent teenager.

"Can you just yell at me already? Seven hours of hostile silence is punishment enough." Hope said wanting some type of words to come out her mother's mouth.

Hayley turned around to her daughter. "The whole point of sending you to that school, and calling you Hope Marshall, was so you wouldn't draw attention to yourself, to keep you safe. Why? Why did you do it? What could you have possibly needed the money for?" Hayley asked her.

"That's my business." Hope responded.

"And selling your blood is mine. You had no right." Hayley rebuttals.

"Ooh, she got you there Hope." Hunter said with a smile.

Hayley looked at him. "Rooms. Now." She ordered all of them and they all groaned as they went to their rooms.

"Your being a hypocrite. You're the one that taught us, my body, my choice. Well, my blood, my choice." Hope said.

"Oooh, she has a solid point Hayley." Hunter called out from upstairs.

"Room now Hunter, or you are getting animal blood for 3 weeks straight." Hayley yelled out and she was satisfied with the sound of his fore closing and his sister's laughing at him. "You are not just anybody, Hope. Do you even understand what you have done?"

"Henry came to me." Hope said trying to continue to defend and save herself.

"And you should have said no. Hope, Henry was already a kid who was struggling to fit in, and now, he's gonna be o Ky one of three hybrids in the world? And seen as a threat to everyone in the city. You've no idea what you've done. You cannot create something without taking responsibility for it."

"What are you gonna do? Ground me?" Hope cut her off before she could continue her speech. "Lock me up? I'll just whammy myself out. I'm a witch."

"And I'm your mother. Which means tomorrow, I'm gonna have to clean up the mess you've made before it gets worse." Hayley said then finally went up the stairs, leaving a guilty Hope by the fountain.

Hope went up the stairs and into Angel's room seeing everyone besides Hayley inside. "Are we ready?" She asked them and they all nodded.

"Call them." Nicholas demanded and Eric dialed the number to start plan B.

~~~

"Bonjour, Monsier Gatineaux. I should let you live to tell of this, but I seem to be on a bit of a roll." Klaus said as he held his victim up against the stone pole (I tried to Google what these things are called but I give up) Klaus snapped the guys neck with no humanity on his face and then tosses the body on to the floor away from him, along with the dozen other bodies he has killed.

He smiles proudly at his work before sending someone coming close to him. Next thing he knows, Klaus is pushed up against the same pole and is now staring into the eyes of a very familiar blonde vampire.

"Why don't you pick on someone your own size?" Caroline said after finally catching Klaus.

"Hello, love." Klaus greeted with a smirk. He casually removes her hand from his neck and sat down on a couch as he watches Caroline grab a blanket and cover the dead body. "It's a pity. I thought there'd be more of them."

"Caroline turned around still squatting. "Trying to break your own record?" She asked rhetorically as she stood up.

"At the moment, I'm trying not to flatter myself that your here on a sudden whim to see me." Klaus said but ends up not getting a response. "Why are you here, Caroline?" He asked her as he stood up from his chair. "Surely, the Salvatore School for the Young and Gifted needs its headmistress across the pond."

"I got a phone call. Apparently, you don't pick up anymore." Caroline answered, crossing her arms together.

"So, you came all this way at Hayley's request." Klaus assumed as he slightly turns away from her.

"Rebekah called, actually. I was in France already." Caroline corrected taking a few steps closer.

"Winter getaway?" Klaus assumes.

"For work." Caroline corrected. She shook her head and let a chuckles escape her lips. "I don't know what year you think it is, Klaus, but I'm the mother of twins. I was married, and widowed on the same day. And I am responsible for an entire school full of kids, including yours. You know, the half a dozen that you haven't asked about." Klaus looked at her with a bit of guilt in his eyes but none on his face. "Why are you avoiding them? They're gorgeous and smart. So smart, maybe too smart for their own good, like their mother."

"Like their father." Klaus and Caroline said at the same time. He had a smile on his face as Caroline described his kids.

"But they, they hear the same rumors we all have for the past five years. That you have gone completely bonkers and Phoenix had ran away because of it."

Klaus walked past her and held his hand up to the dead bodies. "As you see."

"Yet standing here, you seem only normal crazy to me." Caroline said softly.

"High praise, indeed." Klaus says with a smile.

"You know, two men from the family who own this building were killed at a nightclub yesterday by an alleged maniac." Klaus eyes widened as the look of innocence starts to appear. "And here lie more bodies. Care to explain why you're methodically picking off all the members of one family?" Caroline asked.

"Because I'm compulsive. Or, perhaps, it's just to while away the time. Or maybe," he roughly grabs Caroline's shoulders and she gasp in fear, "just maybe, Klaus Mikaelson has finally gone mad." He smiles.

Caroline harshly pushes Klaus hands off her. "Or maybe, you just want people to think you have. And this spree you're on, it isn't random. You have list, don't you? But that's not the only list you're doing. You're also taking care of all the enemies Phoenix have over the past thousand years. Explains why I found a pack of dead werewolves in the forest and some in the river.

Hayley is standing in an alleyway getting off the phone when she felt something weird in her stomach. All of a sudden she got harshly pushed into a wall knocking her onto the ground leaving her dazed but the magic returned making Hayley unconscious on the ground.

The door that Hayley hit was suddenly open and a red, orange, yellow ombré casket was revealed.

~~~

The children were standing around the water fountain watching as the water continues to pour red like it was replace by blood.

Freya walked up behind them and held Hayley's broken phone up for them to see. "Someone found this in the street." She looked at the six twins. "And your mother's body has went missing.

Angel grabbed the phone out her Aunt's hand as they now know for sure that Hayley and their other mother has been kidnapped.

The phone sudden vibrates loudly and Angel looks down to see Klaus Mikaelson has appeared on the screen. Angel quickly slide the green phone icon and put it on speaker so her siblings can also hear him. She didn't want to deny them the opportunity to hear their dad's voice after so long.

"Das?" Angel asked hoping it was him and wishing it wasn't no prank.

Klaus stopped walking as he heard his daughters voice but then he looks towards a random stature that pours water and it turned from clear to red.

"I was looking for Hayley." Klaus said.

"Yes, so are we. Um... I don't know where she is. She's missing." Hope said.

"So is our mom." Dove added in letting Klaus know that Hayley wasn't the only one taken.

Klaus eyes starts to move around as he thinks of a solution but only coming up with one. "I'm on my way.
