Numb.

That was how Jupiter felt.

How could she have not put the pieces together sooner? She was a genius for crying out loud!

But, nevertheless, here we are. Hope and Jupiter trapped together in an unknown location.

The Wolfsbane, Vervain, and Witch Hazel still lingered in their system making them weak but it was wearing off. Jupiter heard footsteps outside the door and began to act as if she was still unconscious, Hope looked at her twin sister confused until she quickly caught on and did the same.

Their kidnappers walked in and checked them over.

"We'll get a pretty price for the Mikaelson twins. The great and powerful tribrids at our mercy. Klaus won't know what hit him." The first man said as he stared at Jupiter making her uncomfortable.

"Come on, they're both still knocked out. It'll be more fun to taunt them when they wake up." The second man replied and they both walked out of the room again, locking the door behind them.

Once they were sure that they were gone, they sat normally. Well, as normal as you can sit in severe discomfort.

"Jupiter, what are we gonna do?" Hope whispered weakly.

Jupiter hesitated for a moment, thousands of plans and thoughts running through her head all at once.

"I'm not sure." Jupiter whispered back, feeling slightly defeated.

"THIS IS YOUR FAULT!" Hayley yelled at Abby when they arrived at the Quantico center.

"Ms. Marshall-" Hotch tried to intervene only to fail as the hybrid continued yelling at Abigail who was extremely upset at the disappearance of Jupiter.

"MY FAULT?! IF YOU HADN'T SHOWN UP HERE IN THE FIRST PLACE THIS WOULDN'T OF HAPPENED! JUPITER WAS FINE! SHE WAS SAFE! SHE WAS HAPPY! YOU ALL COMING HERE RUINED THAT!" Abby shouted back at the hybrid, now being held back by her husband so she didn't kill Hayley.

"SHE'S OUR DAUGHTER!" Hayley screamed in Abby's face.

Abby snarled and tried to go for Hayley but Sam kept an iron grip on his wife, although he too was starting to get angry at the she-wolf's words.

"YOU NEVER FUCKING TREATED HER LIKE YOUR DAUGHTER YOU BITCH! FUCKING KOL, DAVINA, KEELIN, AND MARCEL PRACTICALLY RAISED THAT GIRL FROM BIRTH! WE TOOK HER IN AND MADE HER A PART OF OUR FAMILY! SHE IS OUR DAUGHTER NOT YOURS!" Abby screamed back, her vampire face now on display, and began giving Hayley an aneurysm.

"Control your wife!" Klaus yelled and that was the last straw for Sam who let his wife go and began to go after Klaus only to be held back by Derek, while Klaus was now being held back by Elijah.

"ENOUGH!" Sophie yelled, grabbing all of the adult's attention.

"Stop it! Now is not the time for this! We have to find them!" Sophie yelled now that she had everyone's attention.

"SoSo is right, Mars and whatsherface could be in some real trouble. The other murders were brutal but they were to grab attention and corner them. Haybitch give me your hand." Kai said immediately snapping into investigator mode which made everyone slightly surprised. Hayley growled slightly at the nickname but nevertheless gave the male Heretic her hand.

He used a silent spell to slice her hand and allow blood to drip onto a map.

"Technically, she's their biological mother and they are her sires; there could be an echo of a soul bond connection," Kai said as they watched the blood travel.

The blood finally stopped moving at what could be identified as an area near the coast. After Penelope quickly typed the geographic coordinates she sent them to the team's handhelds and then spoke out loud, "The only thing in that area is an old storm drain that was converted into a bunker, a long time ago. I've sent it to your handhelds. Now bring back my pancake date."

The team quickly sprang into action leaving the families with Penelope and Kai who reluctantly agreed to stay behind and play peacekeeper.

<><><><><><><><><><><><>

"I think we're underground," Jupiter said quietly as she used her vampiric and werewolf senses to try and figure out where they were.

"Are you sure?" Hope questioned quietly.

They had both regained most of their strength a while ago but their captors had not yet returned and they were devising a plan of escape.

"I'm positive I can smell dirt and other earthly scents," Jupiter responds, quietly releasing herself from her restraints, Hope doing the same.

"Invisique," Jupiter mumbled, making herself invisible; Hope taking her sister's lead and doing the same. They quietly unlocked the door (thank you bobby pins) and began to roam the place they were currently being held captive in and found it was a bunker.

Finally finding the exit, Hope climbed the ladder and unlocked the door only for an alarm to go off as soon as she opened it.

"They're trying to escape!" Someone yelled and the two girls quickly scampered up the ladder and out into the woods.

"You can run but you can't hide!" The man who kidnapped them yelled and soon a whizzing sound was heard.

They were being shot at.

"Hope, we have to go faster." Jupiter said to her twin, and they began to pick up the pace with their running.

After what felt like hours, but was probably minutes the two women arrived at a cliff, the ocean below them.

"This is the only way!" Hope said looking down at the water.

Jupiter looked at the water with slight hesitance.

"Come out, come out wherever you are?" The voice taunted.

"Ready?" Hope asked her sister, who looked almost frozen.

"Don't think you'll get away that easy." The man taunted, too close for comfort.

Hope sighed, knowing she would have to make the decision.

She grabbed her twin's hand and jumped off the cliff.

Jupiter couldn't even register her scream as the flew towards the water.

"HOPE, I CAN'T SWIM!" Was the last thing the blonde screamed before the twins hit the water.

<><><><><><><><><><><><><>

The team had just arrived to the area where they knew the bunker was and heard a splash.

"FBI!" They yelled as they searched the bunker. There was no one there.

"How close are we to water?" Spencer asked Rossi.

"Less than two miles, why?" Rossi replied and then looked concerned.

Derek quickly put the pieces together and looked angry while Spencer began to panic.

"Jupiter can't swim." Was their reply in unison.

They all quickly used their enhanced supernatural speed (well, Spencer held onto Derek who couldn't help but smile at the man) to find head to the water and arrest the unsubs who were now shooting at the water.

"Hope would help her right?" JJ asked concernedly to Jack who was looking at the water with an unreadable expression.

"I hope so." Was the reply the blonde vampire received.

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

Hope and Jupiter had washed up on a beach, far enough away to keep them safe from their captors.

Both women were coughing up water and Jupiter was not happy.

She had almost drowned.

Three fucking times.

"This is your fault." Jupiter mumbled as she got up and began to walk away.

"What?! You can't blame this on me!" Hope yelled.

"I can! I was fine! I was happy! Why do you have to ruin everything good that ever happens to me?" Jupiter cried as she turned to face her twin.

"Jupiter we were all heartbroken when you-" Hope began before being cut off abruptly by her sister. "You were broken?! Funny, you were the "broken one" but I was the only one who needed saving Hope!" The blonde screamed.

Hope marched forward now chest to chest with her sister who stood almost a head taller than her.

"If you hadn't of left, this wouldn't have happened! You didn't have to be so selfish Astrid!" Hope screamed back, flinching slightly seeing a rage burning in her sister's eyes.

"I HAVE NEVER BEEN SELFISH! I LEFT SO I COULD BE HAPPY FOR ONCE! I WAS MISERABLE IN NEW ORLEANS! I FOUND A FAMILY THAT CARE ABOUT ME AND LOVE ME, AND I FOUND MY MATES WHO I LOVE UNCONDITIONALLY BUT APPARENTLY I'M SELFISH. I HATE YOU!" Jupiter yelled and before Hope could retort a resounding slap was heard.

Jupiter had slapped Hope so hard that she accidentally snapped her twin's neck, activating her vampire side.

Jupiter felt no remorse or guilt seeing Hope's body on the ground.

Quickly using a spell to have paper and a pencil appear. She quickly wrote a goodbye to Derek and Spencer explaining that she had to do something about the Mikaelsons, and she would do it her way.

Writing that was hardest thing she had ever done but she had one thing left to do.

Sticking the note on her twin's forehead, she walked away from Hope's body. Getting ready to say goodbye to some of the most important people of her life.

Kol and Diana
