"No."

—

Everyone had been pacing and standing around all of the young and older witches for hours. They moved their bodies to one of the larger bedrooms with more beds to keep an eye on them.

"They've been out for hours! And cami still isn't awake so something went wrong!" Caroline yells while pacing worried for her friend and sisters children.

"How did they find out?" Alaric asks confused, he had been trying to figure out how they found out or if someone had told them.

"Well they are Cami's kids." Damon says shrugging, everyone looks to him confused. "Um hello! Who used to eaves drop on everyone's conversations and put her self in harms way in attempt to save us all?" He says waving his hands around like it's obvious.

"They're still breathing, lets just give them some more time." Elena says trying to calm everyone including herself down.

"It's been hours!" Rebekah yells worried for her niece and sister.

"Well like Damon said they're Cami's kids. They're bound to make a dramatic entrance." Kol says shrugging. Jace and Hope wake up at the same time gasping. "My point exactly."

Jace sits there dazed and confused for a few seconds while Hope immediately searches for her dad in slight panic. She meets his eyes and he sees her panic.

"Hope what is it?" He says worriedly rushing towards her side. She opens her mouth to respond but all the others wake up with a gasp interrupting her.

Caroline sees the astonished and slightly scared look on all of their faces and begins to panic checking over all of the kids for any sign of injuries.
"What happened?!" She says with wide eyes darting between them all.

"Grams." Bonnie whispers making everyone's head whip towards her.
She glances at everyone around the room and says, "I spoke to grams. Did you guys see her?" She asks looking at the other witches.

"No." Lizzie whispers. "There was this man. He said he was our grandpa and his name was Joshua." Josie nods in agreement.

"What'd he say?" Caroline asks worried that he had said something about the merge.

"Um. He told us we had to stay strong through out the next couple of years and that they wanted to help mom. They were giving us power I think." Josie says unsure.

Caroline's eyes close for a second knowing exactly what he meant in the first part of the sentence. Avoiding their eyes she looks towards the other witches.

"The ancestors wanted to help Camilla, and there was only one way." Davina tries to explain hurriedly looking between everyone and the door. "They said she was worthy and it was the only way to save us."

"What does that mean?" Kol says majorly confused.

"I don't know." Freya says also confused. The ancestors she spoke to were so cryptic.

"Is she going to be okay?" Caroline asks scared for her sister. It was all so suspicious and new.

"All of our bloodlines worked together to bring her back, but there was so much power that something else was happening but I couldn't pin point it." Bonnie says. "Grams told me she was chosen."

"I'm going to check on mom." Alec says ignoring all the talk of what happened. He would never forget what he learned and who he saw and he just needed his mom. Everyone follows behind eager to see if the spell worked. They get closer to her room and see the door creaked open slightly. Damon pushes ahead of the kids and slowly opens the door Incase of any danger.

His mouth hangs open as he stares at the figure standing over Camillas bed looking at her confused and worried. He stands in the doorway completely frozen.

"What the bloody hell is taking you so long?" Kol exclaims pushing through Damon bringing everyone's attention to him including the figure.

"The rippah?!" Kol exclaims with a matching expression to Damon.
Everyone stands there with their mouth hung open staring at him while he stares at them confused.

"Damon? Who are all of these people in our house and what's wrong with Cami?" He says slightly alarmed standing infront of Camilla protectively making klaus envious, he could've been that person keeping her safe.

"Steffie?" Lizzie exclaims using the nick name she used as a kid because she couldn't say 'Stefan.'

His head snaps towards her looking at her confused. "Who are you? Only two people call me that and they're a lot younger. What's happening?" He says looking towards Caroline and ric.

"You've been gone for a long time brother." Damon says still staring at him suspiciously and perplexed.

Stefan nods slowly and turns back to Camillas body. He gently rubs his thumb over her cheek.

"What's wrong with her?" He says with furrowed eyebrows. He could feel her pain.

"Long story short... uh what are you doing." Damon says with narrowed eyes watching a slight blue glow emit from stefans hand onto her cheek. Kol panicked, speeds to him and tries to throw him off of her but a force knocks him back.

"I don't know." Stefan says trying to pull his hand away but can't.

Camillas eyes shoot open and she takes in everyone in the room. She quickly backs away from stefans hand making everyone give her a confused looks.

"Where am I?" She asks panicked her eyes darting between every person in the room, looking at Stefan confused.

"Just calm down Cami, you're okay now." Damon says walking towards her along with Caroline.

All of the kids and a hesitant Hope rush towards Camilla's bed practically shoving Stefan out of the way confusing him as to who they were.

"Mommy?"Lizzie says with tears in her eyes shocking Stefan, walking towards her mom to give her a hug she stops mid step when she sees the look on her moms face. She looks towards Caroline with a hurt and confused face.

Klaus watches Camilla look at everyone slightly scared and confused and his eyes widen.

"Cami? What's wrong?" He says walking forward about to touch her arm when Stefan, although hurt she rejected his touch would never let him near her, grabs his arm roughly shoving him back. "Don't touch her." He grunts. Klaus glares at him for a second before Camilla finally speaks up.

"Uhm... who are you?" She says quietly looking towards the large group, making everyone's head whip towards her with wide eyes.

"No." Damon whispers.
