"Well, you look like yourself
But you're somebody else
Only it ain't on the surface
Well, you talk like yourself
No, I hear someone else though
Now you're making me nervous"

Esme walked out after the confrontation with Ben. She had too. She walked upstairs to her old bedroom or what it used to be and laid on the dirty, broken bed. Esme wrapped herself in her own arms, crying.

She couldn't take it.

She felt so sick. Her body felt so cold and she felt sick to her stomach. Then with everything with her power coming back made her brain and heart heart. Not to mention her turning into a gremlin freaked the holy hell out of her.

"Esme". Allison stood in the doorway, sighing as she walked over, sitting on the edge of the bed, pulling her sister into her arms as she cried.

"It's okay. We'll get through this". Allison reassured her as she held onto her tightly.

Esme only shook her head and when she heard more yelling from downstairs she started to cry even more. Her crying continued and soon she started to gasp for air.

"No, no". Allison looked down at her some more. "You're okay. Deep breaths". Allison tried but Esme wasn't listening. Her voice seemed so far away. "Esme, please". Allison begged and then she looked out from the open door.

"Diego!" Allison shouted the first name that came to her mind.

"Diego!"

And just like that...
It felt like they were scared kids again;

"Diego!" A twelve year old Allison shouted as she held a gasping Esme in her arms. "Diego, please, help! It's Esme!" Allison shouted.

The sound of running sounded down the hallway before Diego rushed inside. "What's wrong?" He asked.

"I don't know. She's crying and now she's gasping". Allison had a few tears fall from her face.

"I got it". Diego grabbed Esme from her arms. Allison moved off the bed as Diego took her place. Allison watched with silent tears running down her face as Diego held Esme close to his chest, rocking her back and forth.

"It's okay Esme, the demons and all the bad creatures are gone. They're staying away because they know I'm here;

"Your brother, Diego is here and he won't let them touch you.  You're okay, now, Esme".  Diego whispered soothingly to her as he rocked her back and forth.  Esme gripped onto his arm with both of her hands as her breathing slowly turned to normal.

"Why would he do this?" Esme whispered, her voice cracking.

Diego rubbed her back, shaking his head.  "Thought he was helping everyone.  But, didn't think about some people's powers".  Diego through out, letting out a sigh.  "Klaus, ended up not drinking the sake, so he doesn't have his powers"
