"Jeremy!" Klaus yells. The watch starts to move like crazy, pointing in the direction of the door.

Damon holds back a groan, the one thing he's been looking for has been with Klaus this entire time? "That's Jonathan Gilbert's watch, it detects vampires."

"Well I-" suddenly the front door is being slammed down and a man comes in, vampire face on and before they could do anything the man bites Klaus shoulder, ignoring Elenas shouts and cries to 'stop hurting her brother', the man only stops when Klaus stabs him and quickly leaves.

The man on the phone hums, "Do your friends know about them?"

"About what?"

"The dreams? The visions?"

"I know even less," Jenna shrugs, taking a sip of water as she thinks of what to say, "one day in December your mom heard a knock and went to see who it was, just to see you, with a note saying that they couldn't keep you."

"Why?" Jenna shrugs again. "Economic reasons? Health? How come I'm seen as Elena twin?"

Jenna smiles, a baby Klaus in her mind cooing, "You were so small, it wasn't that hard to believe."

"So I'm really-"

"We guess you were born November 20th, 1993." Klaus clenches their fists, internally wincing at the fact that they missed so much of their life because of Elena. Because of Greyson and Miranda.

"Say you do tell Klaus what's going on," Damon suggests, "what're you gonna say? 'Hey Bestie, just wanna let ya know that one, Elena looks like Damon's ex girlfriend, two, you might have a target on your back, oh and three love your shoes'." Damon voice goes high to mock a woman's voice, twirling his hair and fluttering his lashes as he sways.

Suddenly the vampire attacks them, throwing them up against the lockers.
Klaus raises their hand and the vampires eyes turn white, their mouth open to attack is now glowing with a weird goop that looks like thick spit.

"Stop," the man croaks out, his body falling to the ground, unable to move.

"Why?"

"H-hurts," The man whispers.

"Stop Klaus," Greyson whispers from the shadows, "that's enough."

A feeling enters Klaus's body. It's euphoric. They're body is buzzing with energy as the goop leaves the holes of the man's face.

"Stop," Greyson goes to touch Klaus when a weird thing happens. He does. He's actually able to feel his son.

"Hey hey hey," Zach tries only for Klaus to fall through him as their body starts to shake, "Klaus?!"

Klaus falls back, eyes white, "He'll be fine," Klaus tells him.

"And you are?"

"Protecting them, and they'll be fine," Klaus says.

Klaus looks at his wrist to see Zach's watch, a smile forming on their face, "Thanks, Dad."
