The little coffee stop was live and running, as customers came in and left. Some stayed and enjoyed the scene of their little town. Mystic Falls had become somewhat tamer since Elena last remember. Of course she knew of everything that has happened since her sleepy beauty stage. Stefan had made sure to tell her every detail. Caroline focused on saying all the wrong things Damon did. While this time the good outweighs the bad. I mean he kept Bonnie alive, kept his brother away from harm, saved Enzo, and helped destroy the siren.

"Would you like anything else?" A young girl asked. She must have just moved in. Elena didn't recognizer her.

Elena shook her head. "No, thank you." Getting a smile in return, the girl left. 'Wonder how long she will last.' Movement caught her eye, as Damon sat two tables away. Stefan took the table close to the door, with Caroline and Bonnie in the back for the restaurant. Jeremy had called and said he will be somewhat late, Alaric wanted his help on hunting down a freelance vampire. Turns out he has been feasting on the campers in mystic Falls. Now ever since Klaus and the other originals left town, with the exception of Elijah, the town was protected and claimed, by Elijah and the Salvatore brothers. Any unwanted vamps were hunted down and killed, unless they showed no threat.

Hearing the door open she glanced up, only to huff. Three days ago she received a call from some man. Said man said he had information about her biological family. Now she was happy and loved her adoptive parents, but she always wanted to know about her origins. Damon and Stefan didn't like it, argued how strange this was. But Elena couldn't say no, if she could find out more than so be it. Hence the reason the café is now seating four vamps and one witch. Although now that you mention, they were missing two more vamps. Where were Elijah and Enzo? Elijah promised her, he would be here. Before she could ponder on that, the door opened once more and she paused.

A group of six walked in, clearly out of place. One pale looking boy, with a feisty looking red head. A puppy eyes teenager, with a young brunette at his arm. Lastly was a tall and buff man, with green eyes. They looked so much like Damon's. This man held hands with a young dark skinned woman. If she wasn't mistaken, one of them was her mysterious caller. Elena sat up straight in her chair as the group made their way to her.

"Elena Gilbert?" Green eyes asked.

Elena nodded, gesturing for them to take a seat. "Yes. You are?"

"I am Derek Hale." He offered her a small forced smile. "These are Allison Argent, Scott MaCall, Stiles Stilinski, Lydia Martin and Braden."

Giving them a welcoming smile, she gestured to the chairs once more. "Please sit. Any of you want anything?"

"I am fine." Derek mumbled. "Guys?"

"I'd take a soda." Stiles said.

Elena waved over the young waiter from before. "Can I get a coke please. Oh and a glass of bourbon, neat. Thank you."

The girl wrote it down on her little pad. "Coming right up."

Making sure the girl was out of sight, she turned her attention back to the group. "Well, one of you called and ask to meet. Something about my biological family, so here I am."

"I know this must be strange." Allison said.

Elena laughed/scoffed. "I have dealt with stranger things, believe me."

"This is, about, uh, your real family." Stiles stuttered somewhat.

Elena leaned forward. "What about them? As far as I know both my biological and adoptive family are dead. Only survivor is my brother Jeremy. He and my friends are the only family I have."

"Where is your brother?" Lydia asked. Her eyes falling on the dark skinned woman staring at them intensely.

Elena tensed. "Why?"

"Because-" Stiles stopped as the waitress came back with their drinks. "Thank you."

Elena handed her some money, as she took the bourbon. Placing it to the side, she waited for the girl to leave once more. "You were saying?"

"Because this concern him as well." Scott said, taking over. "Like you said, he is your family."

"Yes, well I don't know where he is at the moment." Elena grumbled. "He and my fiancé were suppose to be here."

Just then Elijah walked in gracefully, dressed in his black suit. Brushing past Damon and Stefan, he handed them a note, before walking towards Elena. He faltered slightly at spotting the group, nearly hissing at their invading scent. Their scent hit him completely by surprise, like a scent bomb going off in his face. Composing himself quickly, he turned towards Elena. Mentally giving her a once over, ensuring she was unharmed. "Forgive me love, Jermey called for my assistance." Giving her a quick kiss, he took a seat beside her. Reeling in the beast, wanting to tear their hearts out. Something was rather odd about this group.

"Is he okay?" Elena asked, handing him the drink.

Elijah nodded. "Yes, him and Alaric were having a little trouble on their hunting exercise." Taking a sip of the drink, he finally acknowledged the group. "Excuse my manners, I am Elijah Mikaelson."

Allison nearly gasped. "Your an original." Getting looks of concern from her friends.

"And who might you be?" Elijah asked, completely unfazed at her knowledge of his being.

"I am Allison Arg-"

"Argent." Elijah smirked. "From the Argent family. Hunters. You must be Gerard's granddaughter." A humorless chuckle erupting from the back of his throat. "Jeremy and you would get along very well."

Elena nudged him, giving him a look. "Was Jeremy on his way here?" Elijah nodded, taking a small sip of his drink. "Good."

"You know Gerard?" Her tone slightly tense at speaking the name.

Elijah quirked a brow. "I have had a few…encounters with Gerard and his pack of hunters."

"Why?" Scott jumped in, his eyes boring into Elijahs demanding he respond. "What business would you have with Gerard?"

Elijah chuckled, getting weird looks from the newcomers. "Forgive me, but it's not everyday a teenager demands answers from me." Feeling Elena's hand slip in his and squeeze, he sighed. "Let me rephrase. I had a few run-in's with Argent and his hunters, usually ending with a few hearts missing and a ruined suit." Before Allison or the others could, question his response, he spoke once more. "What might the rest of you be called?" Elijah asked, but his attention was quickly drawn to the entrance, as Jeremy and Alaric walked in. "Seems the hunt was successful, if the grins are anything to go by."

Alaric broke away from Jeremy, taking a seat beside Caroline and Bonnie. It was just then that Elena spotted Enzo sitting next to Bonnie, his arm wrapped over her shoulder. 'When he get here?' Jeremy gave Elena a small wave, before stopping dead in his tracks. A cold shiver ran through his body, across his back and down to his tattooed arm. What was once cold, began to burn. Looking at the newcomers, he locked eyes with the green eyed male. The feeling he got from him, was much different. When he spotted a vampire, he'd feel a cold and almost painful sting. Yet with this man, he felt nothing, but fire.

"Jer?" Elena called, her brows scrunching together.

Elijah slowly placed his drink on the table, watching as the youngest Gilbert fixated on the group. So he was right. Elijah had a feeling he knew what they were, Jermey just confirmed it. Seeing the boy make his way towards them, Elijah reacted. In a blink of an eye, he had Jeremy against the wall. Hand on his throat. "Jeremy calm yourself!" The kid was not letting up, his eyes were clouded over. Getting a kick to the side, Elijah grunted. "Forgive me." Snapping the boys neck, he allowed him to fall. The sounds of the customers screaming and gasping, were his least of concerns. "Damon, Stefan and Caroline stop anyone from leaving. Compel any memory of this. Enzo take Jeremy home." Without hesitation, everyone ran to do as ordered. "As for you six, I strongly advise you follow Elena to the house."

Derek growled, standing toe to toe with him. "We are not going anywhere." Before he knew it, he was pinned against the wall. "What the hell are you?!"

"The very thing that can kill you, should you refuse to listen to me." Elijah said in the most calmest of tones. "Now I know for a fact you are not human. So either you follow Elena and the girls back to the house, or I will rip out your heart, right here, right now." Getting a nod from the man, he let go. "Elena?"

"Yeah?"

"Take them back to the Salvatore house. I will follow shortly." Elijah whispered, pushing a strand of hair behind her ear. "Go on love."

"Hurry please." Giving him a quick kiss, she left with the newcomers.
