Elena must have done her research on my kind of witch, because as she showed me to the same room I showered in, she slipped me my cellphone and told me that she had set some more clothes in the drawers. After I was certain that nobody was on the other side of the door, put my head phones in my phone-no idea how they got there, and started listening to music. The music calmed me, placed me in a trance that encompassed my whole being, consuming me whole. But I fought the allure of the music, not allowing myself to get completely lost in it. I knew not of my mate's plans, but I know for a fact that if I were to waken Elijah, and somehow convince him to help, all would be well. Perhaps bring up the fact that his family is not in the sea. I am not aware of their actual location, but I know that Niklaus would never send his family into the depths of the sea.

Once I was certain that all of the house's occupants were well asleep, I left my assigned room, and went ventured down the many stairs, to where I could feel the ancient power. Still in the outfit that Elena had given me, I entered a cell, and spotted the desiccated form of my brother. I had been smart enough to take a few of the Salvatore's blood bags, and promptly pulled out his dagger. It was harder than I expected, and took a few tries to completely pull it out.

He awoke with a very over dramatic gasp. Eyes flying to me, he jumped into a low, menacing crouch. He most likely thought I was Elena. Raising my hands in a placating gesture, I looked into his eyes, and kicked over one of the blood bags. He eyed it warily, as if making sure I hadn't poisoned him, before promptly draining it. When all of a sudden, he began to breathe heavily, zooming into walls in no particular order. "I haven't been invited in." He finally wheezed out. He truly thought I was Elena Gilbert. Afterall, he still wasn't in top form. He would be able to sense my power if he had. I just watched as he zoomed out of the cellar. I walked out of the house, caring the remaining blood bags, and stood facing him. By now, he had regained a good amount of strength, and the sun had just begun to come up. I seriously underestimated how long it would take for him to awaken. I'm pretty sure that I napped while I was waiting.

He spoke shortly after devouring the remainder of the blood bags. "You are not Elena Gilbert, so I assume you are Isabella Swan?"

"Yes I am." I replied, as he looked intently into my eyes, it was seriously unnerving.

A couple of minutes passed before he responded, voice scarily tense. "How did you get here, and why did you awaken me?"

"The 'save Elena team kidnapped me, hoping that I would aid them in their quest to put an end to Klaus." At my response, he looked slightly amused, and held out his hand. When I hesitantly accepted, he gave me an amused look. The second our hands touched, I saw everything. His life. His fears. The red door. I was unaware that I had let out a small gasp, but it was okay. He knew the precautions of making skin on skin contact with one of my kind. Once I resurfaced from my vision, I noticed that we had moved. From Klaus' memories, I knew that this was Mayor Lockwood's house.

We entered the home, and he instructed me to wait for him. When I saw him next, the sun was nearly fully risen, and he was in a suit that hadn't been burned. Carol Lockwood followed behind him, and offered me a coat that would fit me. I honestly didn't want to know who it belonged to. Taking Elijah's offered arm, he led me outside, and into a woodsy sort of area.

"Why did you awaken me?" He questioned after some time.

"I wanted your help." At the incredulous look on his face, I continued. "I know that the only reason you wish for Niklaus' death is due to the daggering and supposed throwing of your siblings into the depths of the ocean, but they are not in the ocean. Just in a warehouse somewhere."

He gave me the look that says 'you're completely insane'. I used to receive that look a lot, as a child mostly, and espically after I had gleaned a portion of Jasper's gift. I remember once, I had been sitting in a room with Dad and his friends from the Reservation, when I burst out laughing because of the combined humor from everyone in the room. It was very very bad.

The look he was giving me now, was like those looks combined, only mixed with anger. Had I been anyone else, my heart would most likely be on the other side of the meadowy woods that were in. "How do you know this?" He inquired with a deathly calm voice. I knew that he knew of my kind's gifts, and so I merely looked into his eyes with an incredulous look on my face. He merely shrugged his shoulders and said. "I want your word." Looking into his eyes, I stated. "I give you my word that your siblings are not at the bottom of the ocean." We spent the rest of the day discussing how to aid Niklaus in the ritual. I honestly felt that I would be the better choice, but I had no desire to go all the way back to Forks, and I wanted my mate's curse to be broken as soon as possible.

"The Bennet is a problem."

"Yes, I realize this, however, I refuse to break my word, no matter how many times Elena has broken hers."

"I understand your worries, and it matters not, if I can get in close proximity with her, or find the source of whatever power she is channeling, then I might be able to cut off the source."

"I am aware of the source of her power, and I am also aware of their plans on how to use it against Niklaus." After a slight pause he continued. "Sister."

"Brother." Was my fond response. I could already tell that we would get along well. I could sense the bond forming, it was similar to the one Klaus and I had, yet completely and utterly different. Yet, I could tell it was just as fragile, if not more so. We had been walking towards what is apparently called 'the old witch house'.

When the duo reached the house, Isabella began to hear the whispers of the spirits. Calling out to her. Reprimanding her. Yet she knew that the spirits knew the truth. They knew that she would never bow down to them. They knew that she was far too strong for them to ever think of attempting to bow down to them. The second they entered the house, Elijah hissed in pain. They couldn't despell his sun ring, as it hadn't been a Bennet to spell it in the first place, but they used the small remainder of their power to give Elijah an aneurism. However, when Isabella reached out and grabbed his hand, the pain quickly subsided as if it hadn't been there at all. She had managed to absorb the power from the spell the witches had placed on him. They had stopped by the Salvatore boarding house on the way, and invisibility spell in place, Isabella snuck in and stole the grimoire that Bonnie had found the spell in.

With small alterations, Isabella managed to turn it into a spell that enabled her to absorb all of the power that had been, and will be in the house. So, this new spell allowed her to link herself to the house, she would have access to all magic that ever came in contact with the house. She turned it into a never ending power source.

When she finished, the duo quickly exited the now powerless old house, leaving behind over a hundred angry spirits.

A few minutes of walking back towards the Lockwood Mansion later, he handed her her phone, which he had taken the second they arrived at the Lockwood Mansion. "This thing doesn't stop buzzing." Smiling at her brother's actions, she took the phone. When she saw that she had about thirty missed calls from each pack member, she panicked. Quickly, she called Jacob. The second he answered, she began firing question after question at him. Finally, Jacob answered. "Its Victoria, she's back." "Charlie?" She questioned with a shaky voice.

"He's okay now. But Bells, you gotta come back, he's not doing to good."

"What do you mean now?" At his hesitation, she almost collapsed to her knees.

"Jacob Black answer me! What do you mean now?"

"Dr. Cullen patched him up."

"The Cullens are back?" She questioned, with a shaky voice that she hated. The wind had started to pick up, storm clouds rolling in.

"Not all of them, Edward and Alice apparently ran away to elope." She had known that Edward and Alice were mates, and couldn't fathom why she and Jasper would pose as mates.

"Stop trying to distract me. What happened to Charlie?"

"Victoria got to him, it was nothing serious, and we got there before she could do any real damage."
