Isabelle had come back to Mystic Falls. After a long time, she was back to the place that she had deemed as an unlucky place for her. The town had not changed at all and for some reason, it had made Isabelle hate the town a lot more than before.

The death of Isabelle's parents in this town had still lingered within her, it was almost suffocating. She didn't know how to feel about this town except she had begun to hate it even more. It has been long enough since she had left this town, and the town still had some sort of power over her.

One which she cannot control.

After Katherine had told her about what she really was, a vampire, Isabell had learned something new about the world. She wasn't expecting something that's far-fetched, but it was something. Isabell had then decided to learn all that she could about this new part of the world from Katherine. Katherine had thus taught her so much about the supernatural world.

It was astounding to Isabelle about how much there was in this world that she didn't know about. Isabell was naturally a curious person, therefore when her best friend told her that she was something that was out of this world, Isabell could not pass up the opportunity.

She and Katherine had thus spent a lot of time together while Isabelle was away from Mystic Falls.

Their friendship had only grown during the time that they had spent away from the town. Isabell learned a lot about the world with her best friend, and, upon Katherine's request, she had decided to come back to the small town of Mystic Falls. The town was still the same, though, there was a new school.

The Salvatore school.

Katherine had told Isabell about the Salvatore's, and how could she not. They were a huge part of her life and Isabelle had decided from the moment that Katherine made her big reveal that she did not want any more secrets between the best friends.

That was when she learned about the passing of Stefan Salvatore. She didn't know the guy personally, so she could not really say much about how she felt, but it was still a tragic loss. 

He had died when he had given his brother Damon Salvatore the cure so that he and Elena Gilbert could have the human life that they had wanted. 

As Isabelle was walking around, she saw the Mystic Falls Grill. She had then remembered that this was where she had met Nik.

Even though it was a happy moment for her, time that she had spent with him, her mind had then once again flashed to her parent's death. But, there was a small part of Isabelle that had wanted to meet Nik again.

To have a night once again in which she could talk to him again like that night. To feel that sense of someone being able to relate and understand her in a way that no one has yet.

Even though Isabelle had though about Nik, that did not mean that she did not have her own share of flings during her time away from Mystic Falls. Though, Nik was always a constant in her mind no matter how hard she had tried to stop herself.

Then, with the memories of that night in her mind, she had walked in the Mystic Falls Grill without any expectations of who all would be on the other side of the door. Especially Nik.

When Isabelle had walked in, it was as if Klaus knew that she was here, in Mystic Falls, and in the Grill. There was no use denying that the two of them had a connection that was hard to understand.

Then, when Isabelle had walked father inside, she had locked eyes with the man that she had met here the night that her parents had died. The two had then made eye contact, and their breaths had stopped for a moment.

The Mikaelsons were all with Klaus, and when they had seen his attention divert to somewhere away from the family, they all saw that his attention was on a girl. The girl was someone that no one in the Mikaelson family had known about, but Hope knew exactly who she was.

Klaus had sketched Isabelle so that he would never forget what she looks like, and the drawings had done her beauty no justice. Then they both spoke,

"It's you," both Klaus and Isabelle had spoken at the same time.
