Lizzie and Josie parked the car, hesitating to get out.

After the twins had hidden Damon's body so that he wouldn't be found by someone, they headed home.

However, once they reached the house, they realized that they forgot to get rid of Mr. Tanner's body.

Which meant more than likely someone had found his body by now. And when there's a dead body at a school, they typically call all the parents to inform them of the situation.

Which meant the twins were in deep shit.

"Sooo, how much trouble do you think we'll be in?" Lizzie wondered, aloud as she tried to think of arguments to use against Freya.

But Lizzie wasn't an idiot.

She knew that it would be very difficult to out-argue a Mikaelson.

However, that wasn't going to stop her from trying.

"Freya might be the only one upset. Enzo will probably be proud, and Stefan would most likely be conflicted.," Josie said, eyeing the house warily.

All true things.

Although, Lizzie had a feeling that Kol would be pouting because he missed the show.

"How about we just pin it all on Damon?" Lizzie suggested, looking hopefully at her sister.

It could work.

The only problem is if he says something, later on, they would get in trouble for killing Tanner and lying.

Not an ideal situation.

Unless Lizzie killed Damon, then he wouldn't be able to deny doing it.

"Lizzie, you have blood on your shirt," Josie pointed out, raising her eyebrow. And Lizzie looked down at her bloody shirt.

Nevermind...

"Right," Lizzie sighed, leaning back in the seat as she unbuckled the seatbelt.

"Maybe, we should just be honest," Josie said, glancing at Lizzie with an uncertain look. And Lizzie gave her one of pure disbelief back.

What did Josie not understand about lying to parents?

Was it her guilt complex or her need to be the perfect child?

Like seriously, kids lied to their parents all the time but for some reason, Josie never could.

It was very annoying when they were younger.

"Uh-uh, no, that's what gets you in trouble. How about we just lie and say we have no clue?" Lizzie said, shaking her head, which made Josie give her an exasperated look.

"Lizzie, once again you have blood on your shirt, besides do we really want to start off our relationship with Freya with lies?" Josie said, frowning at her twin, which made Lizzie roll her eyes.

Yes, was that not obvious?

Like, what was the worst that could happen, she grounds them?

"I mean, what did she expect when she 'adopted' two very unstable hybrid teenagers?" Lizzie said, crossing her arm over her chest.

Which was true, the twins had made it fairly obvious that they were very unstable. It's not their fault that Freya didn't run when she saw the warning signs.

Besides she was a Mikaelson, and they were known for being notorious killers. If she was upset, that would be hypocritical.

"I just don't want to cause problems for her," Josie said, as she got out of the car.

"I know, that's why you're such a good person. I, on the other hand, am not. Besides she's a Mikaelson, how upset can she be?" Lizzie wondered, glancing at her twin, as she got out of the car as well.

They walked up the drive, to the door. When they enter the house, they see Freya standing there with her arms crossed.

Josie gave Lizzie a pointed look.

"Okay, so maybe I was wrong," Lizzie conceded, giving her twin a sheepish look.

"Girls," Freya said, sternly.

Oh no. Lizzie had a sudden urge to run the other way. She hated being reprimanded.

"Hi, Freya," Josie said, looking at her awkwardly, knowing there was no way out of this.

"How's it going? We were just gonna go change and get ready for bed 'cause we have a big next few days," Lizzie said, trying to slip past Freya but found her feet stuck to the ground.

Well, there goes the escape plan.

"Hmm, how interesting, do either of you want to explain why I got a call about your history teacher being found drained of blood in the parking lot of the school?" Freya asked, looking very much like a disapproving mom.

"Well, uh, funny story actually - hey, Jo, why don't you tell her?" Lizzie suggested, giving her sister an award-winning smile.

"Um, right, thanks, Liz," Josie said, giving her twin a glare for throwing her under the bus. "So Mr. Tanner may have seen us kick the ass of Stefan's brother after he tried to compel us and now he's dead."

"And you did not think to compel him?" Freya asked, raising her eyebrow.

Of course not, was that even a question?

If Lizzie had to choose between killing or compelling, obviously she was going to pick the one that allows her to maim the person.

Only someone who was boring would compel them.

"Lizzie, why don't you take this one?" Josie said, smirking at her twin.

"Uh, no, I'm good, I think you've got it, Josie," Lizzie disagreed, shaking her head, but she paused at the glare Josie sent her way.

"Never mind then," Lizzie said, raising her hands defensively, as she turned to Freya. "I was going to compel him but then I remembered that he was an ass and that in order for our dad to come to town he needed to be dead."

"Explain," Freya said, narrowing her eyes at them.

"Our dad is a history teacher and last time, Damon killed him, which opened up the job for our dad to take," Josie spoke up, with a shrug.

"And you did not think to, I don't know, clean up the body?" Freya said, sarcastically.

Okay, so maybe she had us there.

"We were going to...but then, we had to deal with the unconscious Damon, so we kind of forgot," Lizzie said, rubbing the back of her head.

Freya sighed, "Go to bed now" She ordered, releasing the spell.

"Yep," Lizzie nodded and walked past quickly.

"Uh-huh," Josie said, following after Lizzie.

They both paused at the stairwell.

"Night, Freya," Josie and Lizzie chorused.

"Good night, girls," Freya said, waving them up.

The twins walked to their room and exchanged relieved looks.

"We're not gonna mention the Elena thing, right?" Josie whispered.

"Right," Lizzie agreed.

<><><>

Lizzie opened her eyes confused, hearing something from Josie's bed. She paused as she heard it again.

Then, Josie screamed and Lizzie shot out of bed. She looked over at her crying sister, who seemed to be trapped in a nightmare.

"Josie! Wake up!" Lizzie shouted, jumping on the bed.

"It's just a dream, it's not real!" Lizzie said, shaking her.

"Lizzie?" Josie whispered, tearfully.

"It's me, you're okay, you're not there anymore," Lizzie said, pulling her into a hug.

"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry," Josie sobbed.

"There's nothing to be sorry for, it's okay. I'm right here," Lizzie whispered, into her hair.

The twins sat like that for a bit as Josie slowly stopped crying.

"I'm sorry, I woke you up," She whispered.

"Don't ever apologize for that," Lizzie reprimanded. Then she glanced at the window, noting that it was still dark out.

Josie nodded hesitantly, as she wiped her face.

"Want me to sleep with you until morning?" Lizzie suggested.

"Yeah," Josie replied, nodding slightly.

"Okay, scooch," Lizzie ordered, as she climbed under the covers next to her sister. Neither of the twins noticed Freya watching them from the doorway, having been awoken by Josie's scream.

The next morning, the twins got ready for the day, as they tried to figure out their plans.

"Lizzie, do we have everything ready for entering the prison world," Josie asked, straightening out her ponytail

Alright, mental checklist time. They had the ascendant. They knew the spells. They were both Gemini.

Lizzie had a feeling she was missing something but whatever, she worry about that later.

The only thing that was uncertain was how the hell they were going to convince Kai into believing that they were telling the truth.

"We have the ascendant, and we know the spell for going in and out. The only thing I can think of is the stuff that we don't need to enter it but for once we're in," Lizzie said, looking through her bag.

"Like what?" Josie questioned, looking over at her twin.

"Like proof that we are who we say we are. That's going to be a difficult one but by showing we're siphoners, that should be enough to prove we're Gemini's. But the question is how to prove that we are his future nieces," Lizzie said, frowning slightly.

Maybe a DNA test?

Would that work with them being vampires? If so...awesome.

"Maybe a spell to show some of our memories?" Josie suggested with a contemplative look on her face.

That would work too but what spell?

Lizzie paused and began looking around for something.

"Hold on," Lizzie said, once she found the Gemini grimoire.

Lizzie began searching for a spell that would work, once she found a spell, she looked at the needed ingredients.

"Alright, we can do it but we're missing an ingredient for the spell," Lizzie said, as she did a mental checklist of what they had and what they didn't.

"What?" Josie asked, looking over at her sister.

"The herb, Rue? What is that?" Lizzie wondered, raising an eyebrow.

That sounds like an awesome herb. Was it poisonous? That would make it even better.

"I don't know..." Josie frowned, looking uncertain.

Of course, she didn't.

"Ugh, why is it that witches always use weird herbs for spells, like do they want to make our lives harder?" Lizzie groaned, then she paused as she realized that she already knew the answer. "Wait, don't answer that."

Josie took out her phone and searched the herb up.

"It's found in the Balkan Peninsula," Josie read, and Lizzie snorted.

"Yeah, we're not going there just for that..." Lizzie said, shaking her head. "Are there any stores near us that sell it?"

"There is - in Whitmore - a block down from where bio mom lives," Josie said, with a look of disbelief.

What a strange coincidence. Sometimes Lizzie really hated her life.

"Of course it is, why wouldn't it be there?" Lizzie sighed. "It's like fate is basically saying 'screw you' as it does it's best to mess up our plans. Now we have to find a diff-"

"I'll go," Josie interrupted.

"Say what?" Lizzie asked, staring at Josie in confusion.

Did Josie really want to take the chance that she'll run into bio mom again?

"We need the herb now. Especially if we want to get our uncle out before the next school week starts," Josie said with a shrug.

That's why she's hurrying?

Seriously?

For school?

Lizzie was really starting to understand why Josie was her parent's favorite.

"Honestly, I'm completely okay with skipping some more class," Lizzie said, giving her sister a hopeful look.

"Lizzie, Mom wouldn't want us the skip," Josie said, giving Lizzie a pointed look.

Did she really just go there?

Wait, hold up, was she trying to manipulate her?

Huh...Lizzie was actually impressed.

Josie was finally learning.

And of course, she would use it for school.

That was so Josie.

"Yeah, sure, use the mom card. That's totally fair, definitely not guilt-tripping me at all," Lizzie pouted.

"Lizzie," Josie said, warningly.

"Fine, whatever," Lizzie rolled her eyes. "Just be careful."

"I will," Josie promised.

Lizzie sat down on the bed, stretching out her legs. "While you're gone, I'll make sure everything's ready here."

<><><>

After Lizzie had made sure everything was ready for the spell, she had decided to work out. At the moment, she was punching her magically reinforced punching bag.

When she turned around, she saw Kol standing there watching her.

Lizzie gave a short scream of surprise. She knew he was a stalker but damn.

"Kol!" Lizzie exclaimed, putting her hand over her heart. "You scared the crap out of me. Why the hell were you standing there watching me like a creep?"

"I apologize...I was just lost in thought," Kol said, watching her with something different in his eyes.

Which made Lizzie pause in confusion.

He seemed different.

Did something happen after Lizzie left for the game yesterday?

Lizzie walked over to one of the benches and took a seat, stretching out her legs.

"What were you thinking about?" Lizzie asked, as she grabbed her water bottle and took a sip.

"You," Kol admitted, bluntly, which made Lizzie choke slightly.

He really didn't stop, did he?

"Oh..." Lizzie stared for a moment. "Kol, If I have to say it again I will, we are not happening."

"I know darling. I heard you the first time but I can't help but wonder, why?" Kol asked, walking over to take a seat beside her.

"I told you, I've had my heart broken before. I don't want to go through that type of pain again," Lizzie said, glancing away from him.

"Who broke your heart, little hybrid?" Kol asked, and his voice was surprisingly soft.

Was he really asking her this?

One look at him told her that he genuinely wanted to know. Wasn't that a surprise.

"Just a guy that reminds me eerily of you," Lizzie said with a shrug.

Except not as hot or sexy or dangerous.

Okay, so overall, Kol was hella better.

"And how is that?" Kol wondered, looking at her curiously.

"Well, neither of you seem to take no for an answer, which is actually something you should work on 'cause that isn't exactly okay anymore but that's not the point," Lizzie said, remembering the time Sebastian refused to let Lizzie push him away.

"Is that the only thing?" Kol asked, quietly.

Lizzie shook her head. "No, you are both way too hot and charming for your own good-" Lizzie was cut off by a smirking Kol.

Oh look, his ego was now taking up all the space in the room.

"So, you admit you're attracted to me, darling?" Kol asked, but paused seeing Lizzie's glare "Continue..."

Lizzie smirked at that.

Never underestimate the power of a woman...

Even the most powerful beings on the planet will bow to them. Literally.

"Anyways, another thing you have in common is that the twenty-first century was completely new to you," Lizzie revealed.

"How is that possible?" Kol asked, looking confused.

"He was desiccated for over 400 years," Lizzie said, remembering the vulnerable look on Sebastion's face when Lizzie learned that he hated it here.

Kol's eyes widened in shock at her words but Lizzie didn't give him a chance to reply.

"And when he finally woke up in this new world, Sebastian couldn't handle it. This new world scared him and he just couldn't adjust," Lizzie said, pain obvious in her voice.

For all the anger and hurt that she felt because of Sebastian, he was her first love.

Was she in love with him anymore? No.

But that wouldn't change the fact that she would always love him.

"What happened?" Kol asked, bringing her out of her thoughts.

"My dad sent him into a place called a prison world, which is a replica world of this one with no living people, that repeats the same day over and over," Lizzie replied, looking at her hands.

"What do you mean?" Kol wondered, confused.

"I'll explain that after, all you need to know right now is that it's a Gemini creation," Lizzie said, looking over at him.

He was staring straight ahead, head cocked to the side with a thoughtful look as he listened to her words.

Lizzie fought the urge to smile.

He looked adorable.

"Anyways, something happened that caused my sister and me to be transported into the prison world with my dad," Lizzie explained.

"What happened? And how did he break your heart?" Kol inquired, meeting her eyes.

"I was getting to that," Lizzie said, rolling her eyes at him, amused. "While we were in the prison world, he put vampire blood in my drink because he wanted me to stay in the prison world forever, with him at my side."

Kol froze, and a look of pure anger flashed in his eyes, which made Lizzie blink in surprise. She wasn't expecting such an extreme reaction.

"He did what, darling?" Kol asked, there was a dangerous edge to his voice.

"I stopped him from turning me, don't worry," Lizzie said, giving him a reassuring look "However, after that, some stuff happened and I learned the prison world was collapsing, which would kill anyone still inside. So we all rushed to escape, which we did but Sebastian would rather die than live in the new world with me."

Lizzie understood why he chose that but that didn't make it hurt any less.

"That's depressing," Kol whispered.

Lizzie laughed in surprise. "Yeah, it is," She agreed.

The two sit in silence for a bit.

"What is a prison world, little hybrid?" Kol finally asked.

"It's a place created to hold those that the Gemini's believed to be dangerous criminals and the prison world is tied to whoever was the first person forced in," Lizzie explained. "It's basically solitary confinement forever and it's supposed to be impossible for them to escape."

"Couldn't they just kill themselves?" Kol wondered, aloud.

"Nope, if you were sent in, you can't die. That way you can't escape the punishment. Although, If you enter a different way, you can die because you're not tied to the world," Lizzie explained,

"That's a very powerful spell," Kol said, thoughtfully.

"It is," Lizzie agreed. "Right now, there are two active prison worlds. One based in 1903 and another in 1994."

"Do you know who's in them, darling?" Kol asked, looking curious.

"Yep, the 1903 world holds the Salvatore mama and a bunch of heretics," Lizzie answered, shifting in an attempt to get more comfortable.

Kol frowned in confusion, "As in Stefan?" He asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Uh-huh, we've been waiting for the best time to tell him," Lizzie replied, nodding her head.

"What about the 1994 world?" Kol asked.

"My uncle."

"Your uncle?" Kol shot her a surprised look.

"Kai is a siphoner like Josie and I. And he was my bio mom's twin. Which meant they were supposed to do the merge," Lizzie said.

"What happened?" Kol asked, narrowing his eyes.

"His father, the coven leader, didn't want to take the chance that Kai would win, so he kept having kids until he had another set of twins and his plan was for the new set of twins to merge," Lizzie explained, mind flashing back to when her mom told them that.

"Let me guess, your uncle didn't take kindly to that," Kol said, looking at her expectantly.

"He definitely didn't, seeing as he killed 4 of his siblings, tried to kill the younger twins, and cut out his twin's spleen," Lizzie said, feeling amused.

Was it bad that she didn't care that Kai did all that?

Probably.

Oh well, he was who she got her psychotic side from, anyways.

"That's...impressive," Kol said, raising an eyebrow. "How did he kill his siblings?"

"Huh, that I don't know," Lizzie said, contemplatively. "You can ask him when we get him out of the prison world."

"What?" Kol asked, confused.

"Oh, did I forget to mention Josie and I are rescuing him?" Lizzie said, smirking in amusement at the surprised look on his face.

"Yeah, darling, you did," Kol said, giving her a look.

"Oops," Lizzie shrugged, smirking.
