The End of a Story

Here it is, guys. The last chapter. I'm kind of happy that this story is at the end. Well, part of the story at least... There's going to be an Epilogue but... Yeah.

Enjoy,

Nick

As soon as Jonas had finished the ritual, the Mikaelsons relaxed. At least now that Esther wouldn't be able to kill them all, they could focus on Luna. The warlock looked at Kol questioningly "What now?"

"Now," Finn spoke up, a dark look on his face "Now I'm going to find Mother."

Klaus shook his head "Not alone, you're not."

"Shouldn't you be staying with your daughter, Niklaus?" the oldest Mikaelson questioned, somewhat surprised that his younger brother would want to tag along. He shouldn't have been though... After all, Esther had not only threatened their lives but the life of Klaus' daughter as well. The Hybrid had just as much – if not more – of a reason to want their mother dead.

"I trust Kol," Klaus murmured, looking at his younger brother intently "Don't make me regret this, brother."

Kol blinked a few times before shaking his head "No. She'll be fine... I'm sure of it. Go and punish mother, Nik. God knows, she deserves it."

"You're right about that," Elijah sighed, looking at Klaus and Finn "Be careful. No need to lose more of our family than strictly necessary. You don't know what she has planned."

Jonas looked from one vampire to the next before he sighed "Luka, go with them. There might be something they need help with and having a magic user on standby is always good when exacting revenge against a witch."

"Thank you," Klaus breathed. The Hybrid was stunned that the warlock helped them at all. After he had practically taken his daughter from him... Even if she went back after everything was done. He still hurt that family and yet here they were – helping him most of all "I don't know how to repay..."

The oldest Martin waved off "Not now. We can talk about this once this situation is over and your daughter's health is back to where it should be. Greta, I need your help with this..." He looked over at the youngest male Mikaelson "Can we take this somewhere else for Luna's sake? This is going to be painful for her and I think she would appreciate a bed more than that couch.

"So... Where do we start looking?" Klaus tilted his head.

Finn sighed, running a hand through his hair "Where would the Doppelgänger be right now?"

The Hybrid narrowed his eyes "Why? What does she have to do with this?"

"Everything," the oldest Mikaelson admitted "I know I didn't tell you before but... Mother has linked her to us as well. A failsafe, so she would be able to kill the girl and still be rid of us."

"And you never thought about mentioning this?" Klaus hissed in aggravation "This could have..."

Finn shook his head "The spell would have worked either way, Niklaus. The Gilbert girl wasn't linked to us in the way the five of us were linked. It's complicated enough to be confusing, so I'll just say that we should find the Doppelgänger and if Mother isn't with her, then I'm sure we'll be able to think of something."

"He's right," Luka spoke up "I think... I don't know as much about these sort of spells as my father but linking a human – not related to the family – to you would have to be done differently."

"Alright," Klaus muttered, relaxing his shoulders "I have no idea where she could be though..."

"Where who could be?" Damon asked, walking towards them. He had heard the end bit of their conversation and was hoping that he would be of some help.
