Ever looks up, her bright blue eyes bulging out of her eyes and she forgets to breathe for a few seconds. A man in his mid-20s stood before her, his brown dress shoes didn't have a single imperfection, his waistcoat looks like it was made in the 20th century, and his tie was poised perfectly in the middle of his collar.

Ever blinks, her eyes watering at her brother who stood in front of her after too long of a time. Her eyes flutter to a close as a warm sense of familiarity washes over her.

"Brother!" Ever cries out, her eyes tearing up as she starts to run towards Elijah whos feet were tied to the ground by disbelief.

"Brother!"

"Ah! Dear sister."Elijah said not noticing the small girl in the yellow dress that was behind her sister. "Come to see Niklaus lose?"

"On the contrary Elijah, for I will win!" Niklaus said preparing to fight. But then the little girl in the yellow dress stepped from behind Rebekah and the brothers dropped their swords, not wanting their innocent little sister to see them fight at all.

"Jah! Nicky stop fooling around and play with me!" The cheeky blonde said taking their swords that were quite heavy for her fragile little body, "I want to show you something!"She said and the took off running in the woods as fast as her little feet would carry her with her big brothers and sister trailing behind her. She went deeper and deeper into the forest, her siblings yelling at her for them to go back but they were almost to the place that her twin Henrik and her would go to when they wanted peace, quiet and happiness. She raced down some rocks before coming to an opening.

"Brother?" Caroline questions as Evers lanky arms were tied around Elijah's torso, allowing minimal breathing. "I thought you had a twin?" She asks

Ever lets go of Elijah and turns back to Caroline, her beaming smile lit the dark hallway. "I do dear Caroline, alas I have many brothers, for I am so happy to be reunited with them once again." Ever giggles and turns yet again around to Elijah who was blinking back tears of happiness. "Dearest Elijah, would I be the happiest girl alive if I were reunited with all of my siblings, has Kol and Finn left their coffins too?"

Elijah smiles at his sister and tucks behind a loose hair of hers behind her ear. He missed patting his sister's soft hair, he missed the smiles of his sister who could lift him out of the deepest darkest depression, he missed the soft melodic voice that healed all of his bruises and pulled him out of any train of thought.

"Yes dear sister, there are all out and are well." He says and embraces her another tight hug. At that moment Damon appears out of the other room with another different girl. Ever cocks her head to the side when the brunette enters the room, slightly hidden behind Damon.

"Reunited with a long lost lover Elijah?"Damon mocks, his pathetic smirk plastered on his face.

"I do hope not," Ever starts, her confidence boosted in knowing that all her family were safe and there was no need to play nice any longer. "That would be awkward not to mention incest."

Damon stops straight in his tracks his eyes widening at the mention that they were related and he brunette's mouth hung open, pushing past Damon she walks closer to Ever. Now Ever could clearly see the resemblance.

"Here!" She shouted as she ran across the pixie lit field, laughing as she tripped and fell on the soft grass.

"Ev this is amazing!" Rebekah said laughing and looking around at the luminous pixies. A girl skipping around there field, her brown locks swaying to and fro in the light wind. 

"Evie, this is beautiful," Katerina said running over to the blonde and cupping her face in her hands planting two kisses on both of her cheeks.

"Come on, let's play!" Ever said racing to Nicky and touched him. "You're it!" she exclaimed and ran behind Elijah.

"Ooh, little sister! It's on!"Nicky said running after Rebekah.

Ever stopped abruptly, "Wait, I need to find Piper!"She said as she skipped off, leaving her siblings to admire the lovely surroundings.

"Katerina?" Ever asked and Elena's eyebrows furrow in confusion. Shaking off the random name that Ever blurted out she looks up to Elijah.

"Another sister and she says that she has a twin. God Elijah, how many siblings do you have?" Elena asked, clearly annoyed. Elena wasn't aware of Damon's plan, yes she suspected it but she didn't want to stop it. If all went well, she already came to terms with it. If all went south, she had the option to play the blame game. And that's what Ever saw when she peered into Elena's eyes. Ever shudders, she hates those types of people.

"I am 8th of nine children and but sixteen years old, the eldest is but twenty and eight and youngest...was but fourteen." Ever says her smile slightly faltering at the mention of Henrik as Damon turns around chuckling. 

"Shakespear are we?" Damon retorts as Ever steps back puzzled. "Didn't your mother ever need a rest?" Damon asks.

✧༝┉┉┉┉┉˚*✩*˚┉┉┉┉┉༝✧

"Ever, Pan what are you doing!" Their mother smiled at the 2 children running around.

"We found a strange place mother!"Pan looked up at his mother, he was around the same height as Ever and they were quite tall for 9-year-olds. "It's called the Land of Never."

Esther sat down and took their hands in hers. "And where is this Land of Never."

"It's in your head, Mama!" The littlest girl peeped. "We go there when we sleep!"

"It's amazing! There are fish girls-"

"Fish girls, my, my have you found a special girl?"Esther mocked still a bright smile on her face.

"They are all very pretty but mean to others...There are other kids who visit when they sleep too mama, Timotey also goes there too!"Pan continued.

Esther looked up at her two grinning children. "May I come too, to this Land of Never?"

"Sure, but we need to get tired so we can sleep!"Ever said the light of her soul shining through her eyes, "Chase us!"

Esther slowly stood up, "The tickle monster's out to get you!"She exclaimed as the children started to scream and run around, their mother following in suite.
