My phone was being blown up by Caroline as my father, uncle, and I made our way back to the apartment. However, when we approached it, voices could be heard talking inside. Nik didn't seem fazed, pushing the door open.

"Klaus, you're back," Katherine's voice could be heard, much to my displeasure. I looked up, surprised to see Stefan standing with Katherine. "Look who decided to come for a visit."

"You just keep popping up, don't you?" Nik had a grin on his face as he spoke. It was stupid for Stefan to come, though I was certain he knew that.

"I need your help, for my brother," Stefan admitted. I eyed Katherine closely, hoping that me snapping her neck was enough to fool Nik into thinking she was still compelled.

"What's wrong with Damon?" I asked, furrowing my eyebrows in confusion and the slightest bit of worry. 

"Well, whatever it is, he's gonna have to wait a tick. You see, I have an obligation to my brother and niece that requires my immediate attention," Nik explained, eyeing Stefan carefully as he stepped closer. He brushed past the man, moving toward Katherine.

"You understand how important family is or you wouldn't be here," Dad commented, walking closer to Stefan. "Although, I have every right to kill you right here for my daughter, leaving her on the streets with nowhere to go."  

"Dad, let it go," I said, not wanting Stefan to get hurt in the mix of all this. He had every right to do what he did, even if I didn't agree with his actions.

Dad, however, ignored me and continued talking. "My brother gave me his word that he would reunite me with my own."

"And so I shall." I hadn't even noticed Nik moving behind us, my attention drawn to Stefan. Dad turned suddenly before letting out a yell.

"No!" I exclaimed, watching my uncle stab my father with his dagger, watching my dad turn grey and collapse on the floor. I fell to my knees beside him, hands grabbing his face. It was hard already, his entire body stiff under me. 

"Don't take the dagger out," Nik warned me, noticing my hands moving closer to the dagger in Dad's chest. I froze upon hearing his words, my brain struggling to process what was happening as he sped over to Stefan, slamming him against the wall. "Now, what am I gonna do with you?"

"You will not touch him," I scowled, standing up. Once again, I was ignored as Nik stabbed Stefan. I was getting really sick of being ignored.

"Do you feel that?" Nik asked, making sure to hold Stefan's body up as he kept the dagger in him. "It's scraping against your heart. The slightest little movement and you're dead."

"Stop it before you kill him," I ordered, attempting to grab Nik but Katherine quickly latched onto me, pulling me back. "Let me go!"

"Calm down," Katherine whispered in my ear.
