Sophie located Esther, and soon Rebekah and her were in the way to the house where she was residing.

Before they entered Sophie took the ashes that she spelled and went the woman in her sixties opened the door she blew them at her revealing the magical being residing in the body of the woman making the woman scream as if she was burnt.

"Come in"-Sophie said to Rebekah who followed her in.

"Hello mother"-Rebekah greeted her in a smug manner.

"How is this possible?!"-Esther complained trying to regain the momentum and retaliated, but Sophie blocked her efforts.

"We came prepared"-Rebekah continued-"you thought that we wouldn't be able to track you down...well, you shouldn't have brought up to be savvy and clever"

Esther was quiet for a moment.

"Speak -what were you doing to us and why?"

"This was for your own good!"- Esther said.

"What erasing our memories - what???"

"Trying to find a place for you to have some kind of normal life!!-Esther then said-"but the spell could not be bound for some reason"

"And I should believe you why exactly??"-Rebekah snarked.

"I will not stop till I find a way"-the woman said and then whispered words Sophie didn't understand. The woman fell on the floor as if she had lost consciousness.

"Noo.."-Sophie exclaimed and jumped over to the woman checking her pulse.

"Just great"-Rebekah moaned.

It was obvious that Esther's spirit jumped out of that body.

"Looks like she will be fine"-Sophie said-"we should go"

The vampire and the witch left the house.

"She escaped.."-Rebekah muttered and dialed Klaus' number.

In New York

Elijah made his way out of the hotel reeling from the bliss that had enveloped him and facing the harsh reality about who Elena was.

"You're here"Klaus said as he found him standing in front of the hotel.

"Yes...met up with Elena"-Elijah said and before Klaus questioned him about it, he told him about Rebekah's phone call.

"Now that she knows we are onto her, she will be extremely cautious"-Elijah muttered-"how was your dance with the neighbour?!"

"Lovely- but she disappeared on me like a Cinderella"- Klaus replied.

"Cinderella..."-Elijah uttered pensively thinking of Elena.

"Something happened?!"-Klaus now nudged his brother.

"She...is a vampire hunter!"-Elijah uttered.

"Ouch!"-Klaus exclaimed.

Elijah sighed a little.

"You are still here.She must be a bad one!"

"Come on, let's go. I think mother takes precedence."

"You go. I am having too much fun here in New York"

"Call Rebekah. Tell them to come here. I think Elena's witch could be of great help"

"Elaborate-"-Klaus said and the brothers left the place.

In the sewers below the city Liv and Elena met with the warlock at the designated place.

"This is the amulet-"- the warlock passed it to Liv, nervously checking if someone was in the shadows.

"Don't be worried- it's just a werewolf. She can be kind, but very nasty when she wants to."- Elena said-"how many vampire covens are you indebted to?"

"Eleven on the upper side. They hope to rise Silas."- the warlock said.

Then they heard Caroline growling and it was clear they would get company. Liv managed to get out, but before Elena could take down the vampire, it had attacked the warlock killing it instantly.

"Ah, less work for me."- she said- fighting off the other scout- vampire.

"Come on, Caroline- it's time to disappear."- Elena said and the werewolf followed.

But it was nearly every night, they would find unwanted company and it seemed to her the more she kills the more of them appear each day. But this particular night she felt like she reveled in the kill.

At the break of dawn, both of the women found themselves in one of the side streets among trash. Caroline was back in her human form, now getting dressed.

They walked into the diner nearby owned by a fellow friend from childhood.

"Enzo!"- Caroline greeted him warmly- "Pancakes-oh, fried bolognasandwitch for me"

"Bad night? Noone would ever say you two are from the Upper East Side."

"Shut up"- Elena said in a cute manner- "for me the same."

"Coffee and the rest?"- Enzo said.

Both women nodded.

"You were like mad"- Caroline now turned to Elena- "you actually slayed the whole dive!"

"Don't Caroline"- Elena then said with sadness in her eyes.

"Ok- shall we get on another vampire subject then, called Elijah?"

"I have always said that you are merciless- but, you can rip my heart up more than it already is!"- Elena said.

"Liv was mad cos I nearly turned in the Ball room- oh, but you don't know the best-something really weird happened...I think Nik- is one too!"

Enzo arrived with the coffee and seeing them become silent got the drift that they have something secretive they didn't want him to hear, although he knew all about their night life.

"Matt is still pining over you"- Enzo threw at Caroline as he was about to leave their booth.

"Nik is a werewolf?"- Elena then looked at her friend slightly surprise.

"But that's good...he is my kind- anyway,why did you not come to the Ball? Maybe you would have met someone real- Elijah is just a dream?!"

"He was a very real dream, Caroline."- Elena then looked at her best friend in a very serious fashion now- "I was with him last night!!"

"Wait- you were with him??"- Caroline stopped there her eyes wide open wanting more information.

"Yep! We met in front of the hotel-it's like he landed from nowhere...there he was..."

"And?"- Caroline was impatient to learn more.

Elena then told her all that had occurred.

"OMG!! Seriously?? I am sure Liv can find some cure or some spell that can keep the repulsion away!"- Caroline was always a person who would want to do the best for her friends and blow wind under their wings.

"I knew I would meet that someone and then something will be like impossible- this one guy-that is so magic!! it was like the sweetest dream!"- she now revoked the night of passion, but the one that was full of love, not sordid lust, but real sweet love making.

"Oh,Lena..."- Caroline said feeling her friend's pain.

Enzo brought them their sandwiches and pancakes and they now had their breakfast.

A few hours later

Elijah walked into a bar and compelled the bartender to serve him although it was not opening time yet.

Not far away Elena walked into her apartment. She tossed her stuff on the couch and put some music on. There on the mantelpiece her eye caught the dry forget-me-nots that Elijah had left her. She picked them up and held them close to her heart.

"One day..."- she whispered.
