I entered Rousseau's, seeing the familiar setting of the bar bring a little comfort for it reminded me of the good time that we've spent here in this forsaken place.

Sitting one of the stools in front of the bar waving the bartender, might as well have drink for knowing Elijah, my night is far from over, "hello, a glass of bourbon please." I offered her a smile which the blonde kindly returned.

Placing the beverage in front of me, she started a light conversation, "You don't look like you're from around the area, tourist?"

I chuckled, if she only knew, "oh no.... Camille" as I read her name tag, "I lived here way, way back, with my siblings and I" I added.

"Oh, so back for a family event? A visit, or a family reunion?" She further asked, "Oh and its Cami by the way."

"No, just here for my brothers, one thinks there's someone conspiring against him, other one dragged me here to help." I answered with a shrug, no one would like the outcome if my family had another reunion.

"Hmm, your related to the guy who came here earlier, aren't you?" Cami guessed.

"How could you say so" I smirked, well she is not like other human, she seems to use her brain a lot.

"Well, a dark-haired, suit wearing guy came here earlier, looking for a drink, shares the same sentiment about a brother who thinks someone from this town is conspiring against him."

I smiled, "Well that sounds awfully lot like my brother." Then I heard noises coming from the back, time to move, I guess.

I stood up, placing money on the table, "Well it seems like I have to go, I remember I have run some errands for my brother, have a goodnight Camille."

I speed to the back only to see Elijah standing near Sophie, with two vampires dead, one lost his heart, one received a dagger to his.

"I'm Elijah, that's Kai. You heard of us?"

The witch nodded "Yes."

Elijah fixes his suit, "So, why don't you tell me what business your family has with my brother?"

Sophie looks around and answered, "not here, come with me." Great more walking.

"Witches around here are getting a knack ordering us around aren't they" I muttered as I walk beside my brother.

We arrived at the cemetery, "Well that really took a turn, from a back alley of a bar to a cemetery, you witches are really something" Sophie the proceeds to open a squeaking gate and enter the cemetery, "That's one way to know if someone's coming" I remarked, stopping at the entry way.

Sophie turns around with a slightly annoyed expression on her face and explained, "This is sacred ground, which means vampires have to be invited in. But, since I'm desperate... Come on in."

We passed though the gate, "We can talk freely here." Sophie informed my brother.

"Then I suggest you start talking. What did your sister want with Niklaus?" Elijah impatiently asked Sophie as we stroll through different tombstones.

"Isn't it obvious? We have a vampire problem, and we need help. Marcel has an army backing him. The witches have been trying to fight back. We haven't had much luck, until my sister Jane-Anne met a girl, a werewolf passing through the quarter from a small town in Virginia. She had a special connection to your brother" Sophie explained as she leads us to a more secluded place in the cemetery.

"What kind of connection might that be?"

"Apparently, they spent some time together. One thing led to another and now this special werewolf girl - she's pregnant. And the father of the child she's carrying is your brother Klaus."

"That's impossible." Elijah remarked, doubtful of the words that came from Sophie's lips

"Can I just say that Niklaus' pull-"

I was cut-off on the middle of delivering my snarky remark as Elijah slightly raised his arms towards me, "Kai, would you mind keeping your inappropriate remarks to yourself, if you haven't notice we're in a middle of a dire situation."

"I was just saying that-" I tried to reason out, only for my older brother to look at me, "Please, thank you."

"Fine, because you asked nicely, just trying to lighten up the mood" I joked crossing my arms.

"Nothing is impossible, especially not when it comes to your brother. Think about it - they call him the hybrid, right?", she defended, raising her voice and turning her head "Bring her out!"

Three more witches come out on a formation around another woman, the werewolf girl that my brother knocked up. "Oh great! More witches." I mumbled under my breath.

"Hayley?" I asked wide-eyed and voice laced with confusion. Really Klaus? Of all the girls in Mystic Falls you really had to drag Hayley into our family drama.

"Kai?" Hayley asked seemingly confused but one can clearly see that the irritated expression on her face slightly subsided. "Who the hell is he?" she added while eyeing Elijah.

"Will you give us a moment, please.?" I spoke softly, for what seems like the first time this evening, looking at the witches. "Thank you"
