"Finally! I need to stretch my legs." I say as I get out of the car in front of the Parker Household in Portland. I turn to see Kol getting out of the car too and grin at him and he smirks back.

"Is this it, darling?" He asks and I nod. Then we proceed to go to the front door of the house and I knock. After waiting a few moments a blond girl with curly bouncy hair opens the door with a frown and I smile at her.

"Who are you?" She asks even though I know she knows I'm a doppel.

"Oh how terribly rude of me. I'm Ellie and this is my friend Kol." I say and she looks at us with a blank expression, "Would you mind if we came in, we have to talk with your old man." I say.

"Wait here." She instructs and very rudely closes the door on my face and I hear Kol snickering behind me so I sent him a glare. A few moments later after a lot of tapping of my foot the door opens again and we see Joshua Parker standing there.

"Who and what are you doing here?" He asks.

"I'm not doing anyone in here, Sir. That would be just plain rude." I say and I hear Kol snort beside me and Liv and Luke (who showed up) laughing as their dad turns a shade of red. "I'm Ellie and this is Kol. We just wanted to talk, Sir."

"About?" He demands and I sigh.

"For fuck's sake just let us in..." I groan and accidentally use my magic which makes the man step aside and invite us in. After a while, me and Kol find ourselves sitting on a couch with Olivia and Lucas in the one opposite to us. I sent their dad on a walk.

"I want to make a proposition," I say business-like. "I would like for both of you to come with Kol and me back to Mystic Falls."

"We don't even know you," Liv says bluntly and I grin at her.

"I know this will sound freaky but when I can trust you I will tell you both everything until now just think of it as me knowing everything." I say and they give me a deadpan expression, "I know all about your bat-shit crazy of a coven and I want to help you."

"We don't need help," Luke says and I sigh.

"Right. So you'll willingly Merge with your sister and possibly kill her."

"It's our duty as part of the coven," Luke says.

"I could cut you out of the coven. That way you can keep your magic, not merge and be free of all this lunacy." I say.

"Why would you do that?" Liv asks.

"Cause the Merge is just messed up as is the whole of the Gemini Coven. I mean your father trapped his own son in a Prison World."

"Because he wanted to kill us," Luke says and is already getting annoyed.

"Because he thought it was the only thing he could do. Look, Kai sounds great, but it's the coven's fault he was brainwashed into thinking that." I say.

"He's a murderer," Luke replies.

"Then send him to prison. Not a prison world. That's just cruel." I say.

"I never did agree," Liv says agreeing with me. "If we accept, we're free, right? We don't have to kill each other?"

"That is the whole point. And after your free of all this madness, I'm inviting you to come to our type of madness. Mystic Falls." After that, both twins go talk things over in the kitchen leaving me and Kol alone in the living room.

"How will we kill the whole coven when no one's here, darling?" He asks and I smirk at him.

"Well, if you kill the leader of the Gemini everyone dies with him," I say and he pouts.

"And here I was hoping for a slaughter."

"Don't fret Koala. This way it's much faster." I say and he sighs.

"They're coming with us." He says suddenly.

"What?"

"I overheard them. They decided to come. The lass is more inclined than the lad but they've decided." He explains and I grin at him and that's when the twins walk into the room.

"So you're coming?" I ask them and they look at each other with a frown.

"How did you know?"

"A Koala told me!" I grin at them and they look at me weirdly as Kol snorts.

"How will you disconnect us from the coven," Luke asks just as his father came back from his walk. Great timing Joe. I smirk at them then picture a fabric with their names on one side and the Gemini coven name on the other. Then just like I did in New Orleans I picture a scissor cutting both halves apart.

"Done!" I grin and Joshy sends me a weird look.

"What's done?" He asks but his children bluntly ignore him and turn to me.

"Just like that?" Luke asks skeptically.

"How do we know it worked?" Liv asks more hopefully.

"Let me do the honors," Kol smirks then vamp speeds to Joshy and drains him of his blood making Olivia and Lucas scream.

"You just killed our father!" Luke says but Liv's eyes are widened in surprise.

"We're still here." She mutters and I nod with a grin, "It did work!"

"But they killed dad!" Luke says.

"Oh shut up Lucas. At least we don't have to kill each other. I much prefer the rest of the coven and dad dead than you." She says and that apparently does the trick to calm him down and nod.

"That is a great way of putting it, darling," Kol smirks and I laugh.

"Well, you guys should go pack." I informed them, "We're leaving today." They nod and go upstairs to their rooms to start packing for the trip. As they do I turn towards Kol with a grin.

"We did it!" I say excitedly and run up to him and hug him.

"We did." He replies hugging me back. After we pull away he smiles then says, "What now?"

"Now, we're going to take them to Mystic Falls. Ty says they could stay with him and his parents. He already asked them and they said they could. I believe Ty said they told him that it's good his making new friends that don't include myself." I say and he laughs, "After that, we're freeing another Parker. I mean, if you want to, of course. I can go alone. I want Vina to come but I thought you'd like to as well. You are alike I think you'd get along. I could just go with D-"

"Relax darling, I'll come with." He grins and I let go of a breath I didn't know I was holding. "What would I do otherwise? Mystic Falls gets boring after a while."

"It does, doesn't it?" I say, "You know what we should do?"

"What, Alma?"

"We should create a school! I mean they do it in the future but that's cause everyone died and whatnot. But imagine! We could create a school for the supernatural!" I grin enthusiastically, "I mean if we ever have children they could go there!" I say and he chokes on air apparently and I blush after re-saying what I just stated in my head.

"We?"

"I meant 'we' as in our group, you know? Like if Becky had a kid and I had a kid, we would have children."

"Right." He says awkwardly, "The thing is, you're forgetting vampires can't procreate."

"Oh shit! I totally forgot." I mutter, "Well we don't need to think about founding a school now anyway. We have other matters at hand." I say.

***

After some apparating, we got to Mystic Falls. More specifically in front of Tyler's parents' house. I lead Kol, Liv, and Luke to the front door and ring the bell of the expensive Mansion which usually holds the town's parties. After an excruciatingly long minute standing the front door opens and I am faced with Carol Lockwood.

"Ellie? We weren't expecting you." She says with a strained smile. Urgh, she's so fake. I know she doesn't like me she could at least act like it.

"I was just escorting your new house guests, freshly from Oregon." I beam at her and she frowns then looks at the twins, "This is Olivia and Lucas Parker. I guess Tyler told you how they're orphans and don't have anywhere else to go. I and Kol found them on the side of the road with their bags looking like sick puppies. So we couldn't help but bring them here. I'm sure they'll be well treated." I say pulling out the bullshit speech and I can sense Kol snort.

"Oh, you poor kids. Come in, all of you." She says with a smile beckoning us in and I see Kol smirk as he steps through the threshold. After settling the twins in and introducing them to Lockwolf, me and Kol apparate to my house.

As we arrive in the entry hall I grin and proceed to yell, "Not even a welcome wagon? Seriously? You lot underappreciated me. I'm a Goddess you should be kissing my boots." And Kol laughs and then we see Jenna coming downstairs looking disheveled and wrapping a robe around her (I'm guessing) half-naked body.

"Ellie? I thought you were coming tomorrow." She says and I scoff in disbelief.

"That's how little you like me, Jen?" I say and she smiles apologetically causing me to grin, "Is Rickman here?" I ask and she blushes.

"Hi, Ellie!" I hear Rick shouting from upstairs and I fall into a fit of laughter.

"Where are the others?" I ask.

"The group is all in the Grill," Jenna says and I grin at her, hug her and then grab Kol's hand and apparate us to an Alleyway next to the Grill.

"A warning would be very much appreciated next time, darling," He huffs and I roll my eyes obliviously still holding on to his hand.

"Has anyone ever told you how dramatic you were?" I ask him and he smirks and says nothing as I pull him towards the Grill. Once we get there I let go of his hand and run to the first friend I see which in this case was Stefanie. He and the others were playing pool.

"Talk about favorites..." Bonnie huffs and I roll my eyes kiss Stefanie's cheek and proceed to do that to everyone. Kol also said hello to everyone and then we played some pool only to then sit at a really long table so we - as in Care, Vina, Steffy, Bon, Jer, Kol, and me - could all sit.

"So, how was the trip?" Caroline asks with a grin.

"Honestly you guys missed out on a great trip." I grin back and they look at each other knowingly. What they know beats me, but whatever. "We even got to meet Sexy Lex and Lee Bee in Chicago."

"Lexi told me you guys had a lot of fun," Stefan says.

"We sure did!" I grin at him then my eyes zero out on Jer, "Wheres Anna?"

He shrugs but smiles slightly, "She's having lunch with her mom." I nod at him with a beaming smile obliviously causing a certain original to smirk.

"Tell me everything. What did we miss?"

Apparently, we didn't miss much. Caroline and Klaus had a bit of fallout over Tyler. Beats me why. Ty is just an amazingly platonic friend of ours. But I can still see how Caroline likes him and I'm sure in no time they'll be hitting it off again and end up married and having little hybrids running around the neighborhood threatening the lives of the citizens with glitter.

Also, Stefania and Bex are going strong. When I say strong I mean love enough that Klaus even let Rebekah move in with Steffy without throwing a fit or killing someone. Which I think it's a bonus.

We didn't miss much and after a great day with my friends, I went home with Kol. For some strange reason, he insisted on accompanying me and who am I to deny an original? A Goddess of course. And that's what I did but believe it or not, he's really stubborn and cunning and blackmailed me with chocolate! You heard me! Blackmail with chocolate! The nerve on that guy...

After that, I paid a visit to the Gods just because and I think Perse spent the night hinting at something I did not understand. Like, for example, every time I'd mention Kol she would smirk and send a look to Nyx and then Hades would scowl and I just looked completely puzzled at what was happening. Huh.

By the way, tomorrow we're freeing Kai. I hope he likes me. We would so get along. I'm also giving him magic because being a siphoner is kind of a pain in the ass. I'm taking Davina with me with hopes she'll be able to talk to him. She did have experience at talking to sociopaths in the other timeline. Besides she was also going to be sacrificed. Kol is coming just because he wants to. I have an inkling it's about Vina but he continues to deny that and I know he wouldn't lie.

That's about it. That and that I hope Liv and Ty start hanging out and falling in love cause I so ship them together! That and I need a new source of entertainment. It's payback for the number of times searched me out just to watch my actions with a popcorn bag. Ass.
