A lot had happened in my time away. Bonnie had returned, Kai had been sent to another prison world, Jo was pregnant, Sheriff Forbes had died, which lead to Caroline and Stefan turning their humanity off. I was ready to go home and help but even though I told Damon I wanted to come back, he reassured me that he had everything under control, he promised me that everything would be fine and so I decided to stay away a little longer.

However, today I received many texts from Stefan (who had now flipped his humanity back on) and Damon, demanding I come home, urgently.

"What the hell..." I mumbled as I pulled up to my house, I stepped out from my car and looked around seeing hundreds of people partying in our house.

I walked into my house seeing Damon and Alaric standing there, drinking together.

"Ellie." Damon smiled, walking towards me and wrapping his arms around me.

"What's the party for?" I asked, as I gazed around the room, trying to figure out what the occasion was.

"Jo and I are getting married, this is my bachelor party." Ric told me, a large grin plastered on his face.

"Congratulations, I'm so happy for you guys." I told Ric, sincerely. "So what's so urgent that I had to rush home?"

"It's a long story, how about you go get cleaned up and I'll tell you later?" Damon suggested and I nodded, heading to my room to take a shower.

"What do you mean, our mother is alive?" I narrowed my eyes towards Damon.

Apparently, Bonnie had been transported through multiple prison worlds and on her journey home and discovered my mother lived in one. They went back to rescue her and whilst doing that, left Kai behind.

"She's here, in Mystic Falls." Damon told me, sighing.

"Oh my God. Why am I only just hearing about this?" I shook my head in complete disbelief.

"I'm sorry, I wanted to tell you in person." Damon apologised, placing a hand on my shoulder.

"Okay." I nodded, realising that what he did was fair. "I want to see her, where is she?"

Damon sighed. "Listen, before you get your hopes up I need to tell you something. She doesn't exactly care about us anymore, that person is not our mother... She's- Shes just Lillian."

"She's our mother, Damon. I need to see her, but first I need a drink." I gave Damon a soft smile, before walking down the stairs to get a drink.

"Bourbon?" I heard the familiar voice form behind me.

"Enzo." I smiled at the sight of my ex boyfriend. "Hi."

"So, you're back." He walked closer to me, handing me the glass.

"I'm back." I nodded.

"For your mother?" He questioned me, sipping on his drink.

"Well... N-no I came back for my brothers." I told him and he nodded.

"She's gone a bit off the rails." Enzo sighed and I narrowed my eyes at him. "Well... From what I can remember she was never really on them."

"From what you can remember? What the hell does that mean?" I questioned, confusion written all over my face.

"She turned me, in 1903." He told me, causing my jaw to drop... Literally.

"What?"

***

Before Enzo and I could talk anymore he had gotten a phone call from Stefan, asking him to come to the grill to help with our Mother.

Enzo and I walked into the rather empty restaurant, and I smiled at the sight of my twin who I hadn't seen in a while.

"Hi." We said in sync as he embraced me in a hug.

"How are you feeling?" I asked Stefan as I let go off him.

"I've been better, but at least I am feeling." He smiled. "What took you guys so long to get here? I had to compel the entire bar."

"We were looking for Damon. Word is that he took off, looking for Elena." Enzo informed Stefan and I could see the hatred in their eyes. I didn't expect them to be best friends but I had at least hoped they had learned to get along.

"Yeah well he's not picking up his phone. So, It looks like it's just us three." Stefan glared towards Enzo, walking closer.

"Just us three. Hmm, has a nice ring to it, doesn't it?" Enzo smiled, walking past Stefan and I toward the bar. "Suppose we ought to get used to it."

"What are you talking about?" I questioned Enzo, shaking my head in confusion.

"Ah, that's right... You two haven't heard." Enzo turned to face us with a drink in his hand. "Damon has the cure and plans on taking it with Elena.

Stefan laughed, rather nervously. "I think we would know if our brother were planning on turning human."

"Based on the look of shock on your face, you don't." Enzo shrugged, before giving me an apologetic look. "So, we can either stand here and debate the merits of Damon's word... Or we can split up and find your mom before she rips peoples heads off. Which is it going to be?"

***

"Would you ever take it?" I questioned Enzo as we walked down the streets of Mystic Falls, in search of my mother.

"Take what? The cure?" Enzo questioned and I nodded. "Now why would I do that when I could spend an eternity with you?"

I stopped walking, my head snapping towards him. "Enzo... We-

"I know, love." He smiled, placing his hand on my arm. "But when you change your mind, I will be here waiting for you."

Before I could saying anything my phone buzzed, altering me that I had a text. "They found her."

***

I stood in the basement of my house, looking through the small bars of the cell that my mother was lying in.

She began stirring in her sleep and eventually her eyes opened.

"You're awake." I smiled widely.

"Eleanor? Is that really you?" She questioned, sitting up to face me.

"Yes." I nodded. "It's me."

"Your brothers never told me that you were turned too." She shook her head in disbelief. "C-can you let me out off here? I want to see you properly."

"That's not going to happen." I heard Stefan speak as he walked up beside me. "You should go back upstairs. I can take it from here."

"She's upset and scared, Stefan. We can't treat her like this." I narrowed my eyes at my twin.

"I said, I can't take it from here." Stefan urged, yet again.

"I'm sorry, Mother. I'll come see you tomorrow."
