2011

For the past year, Klaus has been tracking the movements of the latest human doppelganger. He smirked when he realized she lives in his hometown. He also took note of the people the doppelganger surrounds herself with. A Bennett witch who didn't know anything of her heritage until recently, whereas other witches know and practice magic from a young age. A newly turned vampire with a bubbly personality, and a little OCD. And the doppelganger's younger cousin who can see ghosts.

It was the last two that really made Klaus chuckle. Stefan and Damon Salvatore. Two young vampires that he knew quite well. Stefan had been Klaus' best friend in the 1920s, while Damon kept an eye on his younger brother from a distance. Wherever Stefan is, Damon was not far behind. Klaus' informants told him the Salvatore brothers are clinging to the doppelganger like Velcro.

Now is the time. Klaus entered the small town of Mystic Falls with the intention of breaking the bindings on his wolf, and getting his replacements for Father Cornelius. The Salvatore brothers will be perfect, once he can get them away from the doppelganger allure. Which shouldn't be too hard since the girl is meant to die. Klaus had planned everything out, down to the minute detail.

Everything went off the rails the moment Klaus stepped foot into Mystic Falls. He did not know his older brother, Elijah, would be in town acting as a bodyguard for the doppelganger. Klaus was able to get the Salvatore brothers alone and explain *cough* threaten *cough*. Stefan had broken up with Elena after finding her screwing her ex. Any feelings Damon had vanished when he saw how heartbroken his baby brother was.

Klaus spent the better part of a month putting together a better plan to break his binding curse. He had to dagger Elijah to get him out of the way. During this time he learned of the second curse on himself. The blood of the doppelganger was needed to finish the transition for any hybrids Klaus wanted to sire. So, he made sure to compel Elena to donate a few pints of blood two weeks before the ritual. Then when the day of the full moon came, Klaus had everything ready.

Stefan and Damon were at the ritual to make sure nothing went wrong, which it did. Bonnie had shown up to stop Klaus but she was too inexperienced. Damon flashed behind Bonnie and knocked her out. He was going to kill her but he didn't want to break his promise to the Bennett line.

When the ritual was over, Klaus had run off in wolf form as the witch cleaned up the site. Maddox set fire to the werewolf, Jules' corpse, then Katherine's body went up in flames, followed by Elena. Bonnie was taken home to a worried Sheila (who didn't die), and a pacing Caroline. The brothers were glared at but paid them no mind as they left.

2012

A year later, Klaus had contacted the Salvatores for help. When Damon and Stefan arrived in New Orleans it was a war zone. Neither brother was expecting to be handed a glass coffin, and a crying baby. "Get them out of the city, please. When this war is over, I'll come get them," Klaus spoke to the brothers but his eyes were on the small infant in Stefan's arms. "Klaus? Who are they to you?" Stefan asked. The Original Hybrid gave a genuine smile, "My daughter, Hope, and my eldest sister, Freya. A long lost sister we thought dead."

Stefan and Damon took Hope and Freya back to their home in Mystic Falls. Where they stayed for six months. During that time, Freya woke up and helped with Hope. As well as shield the child from her aunt Dahlia. At least until Aunt Dahlia was killed after severing the link between herself and Freya. Freya also learned about technology, and got caught up with the times. She had been talking to her little brother about the plan he had for the Salvatore brothers and she agreed to help.

When Klaus reunited with his daughter is when he put his plan into motion. Freya told him the ritual needed Doppelganger blood, and White Oak as well as other ingredients. Luckily Klaus had both. A blood bag from the doppelganger. It seems doppelganger blood never spoils, still as fresh as when it was donated. And the small wooden knight Klaus had carved for his baby sister, Rebekah when they were human. Turns out it was White Oak. Klaus learned this when someone tried to steal it from him. He lobbed their head off without remorse.

Klaus arrived in Mystic Falls the day before the full moon with Hope's mother, Hayley. This gives Freya time to prep the ingredients and the ritual area. The Salvatores didn't question what Freya was doing, so used to her conducting spells in the woods behind their home. Only this time, they were the ones in the ritual circles.

Waking up from having your neck snapped in the middle of a fire circle was not ideal. Stefan looked to his best friend, "What's going on Klaus?" Klaus merely gave a half-smile, "You two are being upgraded to an Original." Damon's eyes narrowed, "Why?" "I made a deal with a fellowship a century ago to guard something precious of theirs in the future, but I have my daughter to think about. So, you and Stefan are being transitioned into Originals so you can take my place." Klaus said nonchalantly like he was discussing the weather.

Stefan and Damon didn't say anything but the looks they were sending the Original Hybrid made him scoff, "You should be grateful. You'll practically be unkillable. Especially with the last of the White Oak being used in the ritual." Damon scoffed, "Grateful?! You're transitioning us so you can dagger us." Klaus didn't deny it, only gave them the most innocent smile he could. He wasn't innocent, not by a long shot.

"I'm sorry. But my niece takes priority. One other good thing is your sire bond to Klaus will be broken when the transition is finished." Freya had finished setting up. Everything was ready. Stefan sighed, "Let's get this over with. How long are we going to be daggered?" Klaus shrugged, "No idea, mate. It could be a decade, or it could be a millennium." Damon rolled his eyes, "Great." And with that the ritual began.
