I remember Nik mentioning that he had sent you out to take care of that. To close up the loose ends.
[She's not sure what other details she should add.]
Our mother had one last hurrah in store after that. She helped orchestrate making Alaric into a vampire like us, but a hunter like our father. She even used me to help orchestrate it.
[She remembers crying in front of her mother but I haven't lived at all and then nothing. She woke up in a coffin hours later and all the damage was done, the wheels set in motion.
But this is not a time to mope, because Nik isn't dead and that's what's important. That's what she tells herself. He's alive. They may have lost Finn, and their mother, and Mikeal (not that she particularly mourns her father, but he was still you know, her father) but the four of them remain.]
I don't know if there was anything we could have done to prevent her plans.
But at least, he survived the attempt. That's what's important.
