Alyson's P.O.V.

I step out of the cab with my bags and thank the driver for the ride and close the door. As the driver is driving off I stand in front of my cloaked house. I wave my hand in front of my house uncloaking it. I walk inside and look at the walls feeling nostalgic. I walk up the stairs to my room and see the coffin I was confined in. I set down my things and move it somewhere I don't have to see it. I grab my phone to see what time it is and then put it back in my pocket. I lean on the wall looking outside of the window wondering if I should reveal myself to the others. My super hearing picks up sound coming from inside my house. I quickly grab my bags and render myself invisible. The door opens and insteps Klaus and due to me having the power to sense emotions I sense that he feels lost and broken. When he sees that my coffin isn't there he looks like his heart was ripped out of his chest. "No!No!No!" He yells with tears in his eyes he throws stuff around my room.

"Klaus stop." I told him but I remember he can't hear me. I try to use my powers to help him calm down. But he speeds out of here before I can do anything. Shocked after not seeing him for so long, I make myself visible speeding after him.

Klaus's P.O.V.

I slowly but angrily walk inside my house. Someone stole Alyson's body whoever dared to do such a thing will be ended immediately. Remembering I forgot to close the door I turn around but I freeze at who's at the door looking as if she was ready to knock.

"Alyson?" I question thinking I'm hallucinating tears brimming my eyes.

"Did you miss me?" She questioned cocking her head to the side.

After getting over the initial shock I blink my eyes a few times.

"How are you here?" I ask my heart picking up speed as I take a step closer.

"I uh you should um meet me at this uh bar in the next town over it's called uh Texas Whiskey and yeah uh bye see you." She stammers then leaves.

"Alyson wait!" I yell after her but by the time I walk outside she's gone. I wipe my tears and speed to the bar she told me to meet her at. Once I get there I sit in a booth in the back and wait for her to come.

I lift my head as Alyson slides into the booth.

I stare at her taking in every curve, every curl, and everything else that makes up Alyson Gilbert. I notice something different about her; the way she walks and talks breathes confidence.

"I'm pretty sure you have some questions." She states crossing her legs and leaning back.

"Just a few." I say leaning back.

"Ask away." She counters with a movement of her hand.

"How are you here?" I ask leaning forward.

"Well when I died I woke up in this field when a voice called my name. Someone materialized out of the sky it was an angel. I know what you're going to say angels aren't real but they are. She told me that I'm a triplare meaning I'm more angel then human. She then showed me how everyone was after my death. She told me where I woke was her domain and that she brings special souls there, and presents them with a choice. They can stay dead or choose life and she gives them a week to decide. I'm going to be honest with you I almost stayed but what stopped me was....you. I guess a part of me wanted to but you were the main reason why I decided to live." She explains grabbing my hands. "So after I came back to life I packed some bags and went to Costa Rica to meet someome who is like me an angel-blood or nephilim his name was Andres. He helped me control my powers and after another week I decided to come home. I was honestly scared I still am actually of how I was going to tell you all that I'm alive. I was scared of you hating me." She finished sighing.

"One...last question." I started caressing her hand with my thumb.

"Go ahead." Alyson said leaning back letting go of my hands.

"Did this Andres ever hit on you?" I asked with a frown jealousy clear in my voice. Alyson lets out a melodious laugh a smile breaking out onto my face.

"Once or twice but I told him that I was waiting for someone back home. And if he still wants me would be amazing but if he doesn't I would totally understand." She said speaking in third person and looks down.

I use my hand to grab her chin and make her look at me. "You silly girl." I chuckled. I bring my face closer to her lips putting everything I've been feeling into the kiss. After we both pull away for breath we rest our foreheads on each others.

"I take it you don't hate me then." She stated.

"I could never hate you love now how about a drink?" I ask pulling away. "My treat." I add with raised eyebrows.

"Free alcohol don't mind if I do." She shrugs and walks to the bar I follow after. After I order us our drinks I turn to her.

"So supposedly angels exist." I start and she turns her head to look at me.

"You wound me Klaus you really do." She jokes giving me the side eye.

I then hand her her drink and we started talking. "Tonight is the decade dance it's twenties themed." I told her as the bartender pours another drink.

"Wait, I thought Caroline was going to make it 70s themed." She stated turning to me looking confused. "Let me guess, Rebekah?" She questioned leaning forward a little.

"Your answer is correct." I confirmed raising my glass toward her.

"The 20s sure did look like a lot of fun though." Alyson stated shrugging before downing her last shot.

"Would you Alyson Gilbert like to accompany me to the 20s decade dance?" I asked taking ahold of her hand.

"I would love to I just need some time to find something to wear." She pointed out stretching.

"No need to fret my love for I've got that covered." I assured her wrapping my arms around her waist.

"You don't have to do that." She replied looking up at me.

"I know." I said grabbing her face in my hands kissing her forehead. "You deserve the best and I intend to give it to you." I added paying for our drinks.

"Klaus Mikaelson, you are truly amazing."Alyson stated as we walk out of the bar.

Alyson's P.O.V.

I stare out the window as we pass houses and trees a like thinking about the others. I let out a sigh and turn back forward.

"What seems to be the matter Alyson?" Klaus questioned squeezing my hand.

"I just don't know how I'm going to face everyone, after everything." I explained. Klaus lifts my hand up to place a kiss on my knuckles.

"Everything will be fine." He assured me continuing to focus on the road.

"You don't know that. What if they're all angry and hate me?" I questioned turning my head to look at him. Klaus steps on the break putting the car in park.

"Alyson they love you and could never hate you. They will forgive you if they have not done so already. Now take a few deep breaths and calm down." He cooed rubbing my shoulders. I take three deep breaths before nodding my head and sitting back.

"Okay, I think I'm good." I said though still quite unsure.

"That's my girl." Klaus stated before getting back to driving back home. I silently watch trees among other things pass us by when I suddenly remember something.

"Klaus." I started getting his attention.

"Yes princess? He questioned caressing my hand with his thumb. I sit up and turn slightly towards him.

"When was the last time you fed?" I questioned a serious look on my face.

"After the decade dance would you like to go out somewhere for dinner?" He asked ignoring my question.

"Niklaus." I warned using his full name causing him to flinch. "Stop the car." I ordered but he pretends to not hear me. I roll my eyes at his tactics to ignore my question. "You must not have heard me the first time. I said. to stop.the car." I finished making the car stop after that. Klaus lets out a sigh looking down into his lap. I unbuckle my seatbelt and reach over making him face me.

"I know that if I answer your question it will only break your heart." He explained meeting my eyes briefly.

"I know I'm the last person to lecture someone on this kind of thing. But please answer my question. Please." I beg caressing his cheek.

"I don't want to disappoint you." He reminded me a stray tear falling down his cheek.

"I know you don't but please Klaus tell me." I begged once again a tear falling down my cheek as well.

"It's been almost the full amount of time that you have been gone." He revealed making more tears fall.

"Oh my god." I cried putting my hand up to my mouth.

"This is all my fault. Klaus I am so sorry for putting you and the other's through this pain. I just felt so suffocated by life itself that I felt like it was the only choice I had. I'm just really sorry for what I've put you and everyone through."I finished opening the car door and stepping out. I crouch down on the side of the car continuing to sob. A few seconds later I feel Klaus's arms wrap around me.

"Princess this is not your fault okay? Please stop crying." He said craddling my head.

"You need to feed okay? Please feed." I begged hugging him tighter.

"I will." He declared hugging me back tighter aswell.

"You promise?" I questioned looking him in his eyes.

"I promise." He confirmed before kissing my forehead.

Klaus's P.O.V.

Alyson is currently asleep while I drive us both back home. I keep ahold of her hand to assure that she's still here. A smile breaks out onto my face at the thought of us going to the decade dance together. We finally make it back to my mansion. I cut the car off before quietly getting out. I open the passenger and carefully pick up Alyson. Using my foot to close the door I begin to walk to the front door to go inside. Alyson moves around in my arms but doesn't open her eyes. I use one arm to keep ahold of her. The other reaching toward the door knob. Before I can open the door Alyson lifts her arm outstretching her hand before doing a twisting motion. The door opens slightly allowing us to enter. Alyson sleepily wraps her arms around my neck laying her head on my shoulder. Before I can close the door it closes softly. My eyebrows furrow before looking down at her. Oh right I forgot.

I lay her down gently in my bed taking off her shoes aswell so that she's comfortable. I sit in a chair placed not faraway from the bed and begin reading.

Alyson's P.O.V.

I twist and turn scrunching up my face in the process. My eye shoot open and I shoot straight up my breathing irregular.

"Alyson what's wrong love?" Klaus questioned panic clear in his voice kneeling next to me.

"It's your...mother. She's planning to turn Alaric into an...orignal. I don't...I....I don't know what her endgame is." I take in a large breath trying to get my breathing under control.

"Dammit! I knew I should have killed her when I had the chance." Klaus stated angrily clenching his fists. I take a deep breath and quickly get up and put my hand on his shoulder. His eyes snap up toward mine.

"We can't do anything about it now. But what we can do is prepare ourselves as best as we can." I said slowly giving his shoulder a slight squeeze.

"You are...right." Klaus stated letting out a breath.

"Want some help?" I question outstretching my hand more. He looks at my hand before placing his in mine. I get a good grip on his hand before pulling him up without breaking a sweat.

"Well I'll be damned. You have quite the grip there princess." Klaus stated putting his hands behind his back.

"I have a good grip on a lot things." I retorted flipping my hair smiling seductively.

"Is that so?" Klaus questioned walking forward.

"Extremely." I replied taking a step forward.

"Are you trying to start something you cannot finish love?" He questioned pulling on one of my curls twirling it around.

"Is that a challenge Klaus?" I asked with a raised eyebrow walking forward.

"I do believe it is." He replied setting his hands on my hips.

"I accept." I declared before grabbing his face with my hands kissing him on the lips. He kisses back instantly our tongues battling for dominance. I take off my jacket not breaking the kiss. Klaus's hands travel up my body tearing off my blouse. I do the same thing to his shirt. Our warmth colliding with each others. He cups my butt and I jump wrapping my legs around his torso. I begin to grind into him smirking into the kiss as I hear him let out a growl. He pulls away both of us gasping for breath.

"You cheeky little minx." He said continuing to hold me up.

"What? Lil' ole me?" I questioned nibbling on his ear. He let's out a frustrated sigh.

"You're torturing me princess." He stated setting me down gently.

"Does that mean you give up?" I questioned leaning back against the wall.

"Not a chance in the world." He answered getting closer. He continues to look into my eyes as he unbuckles my jeans. Slowly siding them down as he does so not breaking eye contact. I step out of my jeans kicking them to the side.

"These have to go too." I declared unbuckling his belt. Once they're off he pushes me down onto the bed hovering over me. I close my eyes as he begins to suck on my neck. Pulling at his curls slightly making him let out a growl.

"The things I am going to do to you." He declared whispering in my ear. I shiver slightly in anticipation.

Klaus's P.O.V.

I stare at Alyson in my shirt as she walked across my room reaching for something on a shelf. She starts to inspect her neck in a compact mirror of her's. I chuckle to myself downing the rest of my drink.

"What are you thinking about?" She asked walking over to me wrapping her arms around my neck. I put my hand under her's kissing it.

"You." I answered honestly.

"I love you." She told me kissing my cheek.

"I love you more than you will ever know." I replied before sitting her on my lap. I let out a content sigh as I close my eyes taking in her scent.

"I'm really sorry for putting you all through this." Alyson said breaking the silence.

"I'm just glad you came back to me." I replied kissing her temple. After a few seconds Alyson lets out a yawn snuggling closer.

"Would you like to rest? We still have plenty of time before the dance is suppose to start." I inform her looking at her sleepy face.

"Carry me please?" She questioned looking up at me.

"Of course." I answered getting a good grip on her before standing up. I lay her back on the bed about to pull away but she grips my arm.

"I'm scared please stay." She admitted looking me in the eyes fear clear as day in them.

"Of course I will love." I answered getting under the covers with her. She lays her head on my chest wrapping an arm around my torso. I wrap my other arm around her running my hand through her hair. "Go to sleep Alyson. I promise to protect you from the monsters." I whispered in her ear kissing her temple. She just nods her head snuggling more into my side.

Alyson's P.O.V.

My eyes flutter open and I lift my head up and find Klaus asleep.

"Take a picture it will last longer." Klaus said with his eyes still closed.

"I could but looking at you in person will always beat looking at a picture." I replied smiling up at him.

"Touché princess. Touché indeed." He replied looking at me.

"I don't feel like getting up but I need to get ready. Can you carry me pleaseeeee?" I dragged out giving him puppy dog eyes.

"Alright fine but I want something in return." He explained getting out of bed before leaning over me.

"What exactly does this request entail Mr. Mikaelson?" I questioned lifting my eyebrow and crossing my arms.

"A kiss." He answers with a cheeky smile.

"That's definitely doable ." I said before closing the gap between our lips.

"Come here you." He said putting his arms under me lifting me up. I yelp in surprise and wrap my arms around his neck as he carries me to the bathroom. He sets me on my feet when we enter the bathroom.

I'm washing my hair as it draws closer to the time for the dance to start. I'm actually a little excited for the dance.

Not that anyone in the history of Mystic Falls has the best track record at school dances.

I turn the shower off then proceed to wrap the towel around me. I slowly walk back into his room.

"Klaus?" I questioned fidgeting with my hands.

"What's wrong? Are you okay?" He questioned coming in frantic.

"Yes I'm perfectly fine and safe. I just need you to do me a tiny favor." I explained scrunching up my nose and use my fingers to represent how small the favor is.

"What is it?" He asked taking a deep breath of relief then crossing his arms.

"I'm having major anxiety. You know I came back from the dead two weeks ago and just came back into town today. Plus the rest of the people I love don't even know I'm back. It's very nerve wrecking and they'll probably disown me. They also probably hate me-" I'm cut off my Klaus cupping my face with his hands.

"Breath love, breath." He instructed slowly as he stared into my eyes.

"I need to relax and take a chill pill or something." I breathed out after holding my breath for a few seconds.

"Yes you do or a shot perhaps." He says with a shrug.

"I think that would work. Let me go get one." I decided. I turn around quickly scurrying off to go find a bottle of scotch and shot glass. Once I find it I'm immediately taking my first shot. I take another one. I take my last shot with me so I can continue getting ready.

"Feeling better?" Klaus ask as he ties his tie.

"Much better." I answer. I unwrap my towel and hang it on the mirror. I carefully put on my cool gray flapper dress. I admire myself in the mirror and can't help but think I look good. "Zip me up?" I ask turning my head to Klaus who has just put on his suit jacket. He strides over and pulls the zipper. "Thank you." I say briefly before starting on my hair.

"You're welcome my love." He responds. I come my hair from tips to roots. Then I brush it a few times so that it lays down flat. Apply some hairspray then braid the ends of my hair until I'm done. I use a few Bobby pins to keep the braided part under my hair so that it looks like a bob.

"Now I'm ready." I declare grabbing my purse.

"Thank goodness. You move like a grandma." Klaus teases. I playful bump his shoulder as we leave.

" I didn't take that long and you know it." I told him. He opens the door for me as I get in. Then closes it after me.

I stand hesitantly outside the gym door.

"Everything will be fine." Klaus assures me with a light shoulder squeeze. He plants a kiss on my knuckles and we walk in. A slow song comes on and Klaus holds his hand out to me. "May I have this dance?" He asked.

"Yes you may." I answer nervously and put my hand in his. He puts his hands on my waist and my hands on his chest along with my head.

"You would have loved the 20s Alyson. The girls were reckless, sexy, and fun. Danced until they quite literally dropped." He says lowly in my ear. I sense something bad is coming and it causes me to shake.

"I suppose that didn't happen to their dates huh?" I playfully question trying to hide my distress. But my voice betrays me and Klaus pulls apart slightly.

"What's wrong?" He asks caressing my cheek with his thumb.

"I'm scared and I don't know why but I know something bad is going to happen soon. I'm so scared Klaus." I admit. I cry into his chest as he hugs me harder.

"I won't let anything bad happen to you. And like Elijah says, you have my word." He promises. I just nod my head and continue to have my head on his chest. I spot Damon,Stefan, and Elena walking out into the hall. I detangle myself from Klaus and turn to him.

"I'll be back okay?" I said then he nods. Soon after I see Jeremy following after them.

"Hey, what's...what's going on?" I ask walking up behind them.

"Alyson?" They all question in shock. I wrap my arms around myself as they continue to stare. "Is it really you?" Jeremy asks tears in his eyes. I raise my head to look him through the eye.

"Yeah." I answer. Next thing I know Jeremy is throwing himself at me. I grasp onto him tightly and tears roll down my cheeks as well. I meet Elena's shocked gaze. I nod my head and she joins the hug as well. When they finally pull away tears are still slightly escaping our eyes.

"How are you here?" Jeremy is the first to ask.

"That can be explained later right now we have Alaric to worry about." I said. I turn to Damon and his eyes are already on me.

"Are you the ghost of Christmas past? Look Alyson if you're just going to up and leave again don't bother." He said as he goes to walk away. I grab his arm and turn him around.

"I'm not going anywhere not now not ever again." I declare staring into his eyes.

"Promise?" He asks staring back. I wrap my arms around him hugging him tightly.

"I promise Day." I answer. With that he immediately hugs back.

"I missed you so much Angel." He confessed when we pull away.

"I'm sorry I put you; all of you through this." I said looking from him to everyone but Stefan.

"Alyson I-" Stefan starts but I cut him off.

"Don't start we have bigger issues to take care of." I said with a look on my face. He immediately shuts his mouth. "What's the plan to help Alaric?" I ask glancing at them all. As if a fire was lit under their ass they all get their heads back in the game.

"How about we uh get him off vervain and compel him?"Stefan suggested.

"Won't work since it's his subconscious and the subconscious remembers everything. We need something more concrete to help him." I explain with a shake of my head.

"Angel is right the Alaric we knew is gone and his alter ego hates vampires and our sympathizers. One of his most obvious targets would be I don't know, Elena? Or Alyson and Jeremy? I think we should put him out of his misery." Damon ends.

"No, we're not killing him." I shot down with a hard look.

"But-" He starts but I cut him off with a raised hand.

"No buts Alaric Saltzman isn't dying today. Am I clear?" I finalized. Damon just nods his head. "Good now let's figure out how we're going to save him." I said.

Klaus's P.O.V.

After making the call I spot a salt line and stop.

"What is this?" I question gesturing toward the salt line Alyson at my side.

"Your mother is back." Stefan answered coming up behind me. Later we're all in a classroom while Bonnie is doing a spell.

"She does this all the time, right?" The unknown human asks.

"What's taking so long?! All boundary spells have a loop hole." I complain.

"People are walking right out of the dance, past the barrier." Matt informs us.

"Matt and I can leave, we can stop Esther ourselves. We just gotta find out where she is." Jeremy suggests.

"It's suicide, Jeremy." Stefan protests and I cringe at the word. I speed to the unknown human and start to strangle him.

"Suicide would be disappointing me! Now work your magic, witch, or I'll start killing people you fancy." I threatened and I start to frown. There goes that, that word.

"Let him go!" Bonnie commands. I feel as if I don't have control of my own hand. I lool to see Alyson with her arm outstretched to me.

"Don't be stupid Klaus if you start killing people Bonnie cares about she won't help you." Alyson points out. She moves her arm and brings me from him letting him fall to the floor. She then releases the hold she has on me.

"I'll be going with you guys." She declares.

"Oh, no no no you are doing nothing of the sort. I just got you back." I protest.

"I'm not going there to fight. I'm just going as backup that's all." She explains."You just need to trust me." She contends.

"Okay." I nod.

"Bonnie channel me you'll be needing more power." She states offering Bonnie her hand.

"Get the humans ready. I know where she is." I state.

Alyson's P.O.V.

Klaus has taken Esther's body and right now I'm saying goodbye to Alaric.

"Looks like the roles are reversed." I laugh dryly and tear up a little. "I'm so sorry." I cry into my hands.

"Hey it's going to be okay you're going to be okay. As much as I hate to say it Klaus will be by your side he will take care of you." He assures me. He then gives me a hug. "Now get out of here and go live your life." He says ushering me out. Once I get far enough from everyone I unfurl my wings slowly. A few stray tears leave my eyes as I start to fly away. Once I get there I put my wings back tears brimming my eyes as I go to knock on the door. A few seconds later Klaus opens the door.

"Oh love, come here." He said wrapping his arms around me as I cry in his chest.

"H-H-He's g-g-g-g-gone." I stuttered crying harder.

"It is absolutely terrible what happened to him. I swear to you Alyson that I will do everything in my power to help avenge him." He promised caressing my hair tightening his arms around me.

Klaus's P.O.V.

When I go to leave the room Alyson grabs my arm stopping me from leaving. "Can you please stay?" She asks me.

"Of course." I say and sit in a chair next right side and watch her as she sleeps.

I caress her face to make sure she's real. I'm really relieved to have her back in my life. I wouldn't have been able to survive her being dead. I would be a wreck for all eternity. I lay back and continue to watch her. Minutes later she's gasping awake causing me to become alarmed.

"Alyson what is it?" I ask concerned sitting next to her on the bed. She turns to look at me.

"Klaus it isn't over." She forewarns.
