"REBEKAH, TELL ME HOW HANDSOME I AM." Kol was testing out suits for the ball for later that night. Ophelia decided to stay the night at the Mikaelson mansion to hopefully get to know her lost family better.

"Oh Kol, you know I can't be compelled." Both Finn and Ophelia let out a stifled laugh at the younger siblings. Ophelia hasn't met them for long, but she could tell they were her family. Before anyone could say anything else, Klaus came barging in, his footsteps loudly awakening the floorboards.

"You went after Elena? What is wrong with you? Do you want another dagger in your heart?" Ophelia's mood highly softened, Klaus' temper soon getting the best of him.

"Again with the dagger threats? Don't you have any other tricks? "

"Oh, go back to staring at yourself."

"And who are you, my father?" The tone in both of Kol and Klaus' voices was obvious to Ophelia that something was about to go down. As much as she wanted to step in, she knew they wouldn't listen to her.

"No, Kol, but you are in my house."

"Then perhaps we should go outside."

A voice soon interrupted the boys from going further in their brawl. "Enough! Niklaus, come." When Klaus left to go talk with Esther, Kol went back to staring at his handsome self. Ophelia let out an exasperated sigh unintentionally, but it quickly caught the attention of the Mikaelson's.

"What's wrong love?" Rebekah turned to her niece, wondering if she was okay.

"I'm okay, it's just...I don't have anything to wear for tonight." Ophelia was going to say something else but covered it up with this half-lie. She was going to ask the siblings to see if Esther could really bring back her past memories, but she didn't want to put more stress on their plate.

"Well that's not a problem at all, I have plenty of dresses in my closet that are just for you." Ophelia nodded in appreciation. As she gave Rebekah a smile, Ophelia noticed eyes on her. She turned around to see Finn staring, but once Ophelia caught him staring, he looked away quickly.

Not really sure what that was, Ophelia turned her head around to be face to face with Kol. After jumping in surprise, she put a hand on her heart and chuckled nervously. "You scared me there, Kol."

Kol couldn't help but feel a little disappointed that she didn't call him 'uncle.' Back in the 1900s, she would always refer to him as the 'best uncle.' They were definitely partners in crime when it came to mischief.

"Come, come, I want to get to talk to my favorite niece again after a century." Kol held out his hand for Ophelia to take and she grabbed it with a good grip.

"I think I'm your only niece, but okay." Ophelia laughed as she got up to go out the door.

༻❁༺

Kol took Ophelia on a walk in the city, reminiscing on the old childhood grounds he once stood on. "You know, before your memories went all bonkers, you and I were partners in crime. We would always set up our plan of the day to annoy our family."

The smile on Ophelia's face made Kol smile too. She was happy that the people from her past were coming back. "That sounds like me alright. I always have that mischievous side to me. I guess I inherited that from you."

"Oh, you definitely did. Now, I do enjoy hanging out with my lovely niece, but tell me what you really wanted to ask Rebekah. And don't tell me that's it's about a dress, I know you well, Ophelia, something is bothering you."

Ophelia was shocked to see how Kol read her so easily, but apparently, he knew her that well to tell there was something else she wanted to say. Even though Ophelia doesn't remember Kol, she knew he cares for her and could keep a secret.

"Esther said that she could bring back my memories...do you think she really can?" Kol could hear the fear and anxiousness in her voice. She was scared. Scared of wondering if she will love her friends and family the same if she got her memories back.

"Well, my mother is a very powerful witch, I'm sure she has the power to undo the spell. I can look into it for you, love. Before I was a vampire, I was quite the little witch prodigy in my village," Kol said with a proud smile on his face.

Ophelia thanked Kol as the pair continued to walk through the town of Mystic Falls. She soon felt her phone buzz and took it out to see who texted her.

Lia, get your ass out of bed. What color is your dress for tonight? I want to color coordinate with you.

Ophelia laughed slightly at Damon's text and texted him the color of the dress she was going to wear later that night. Kol being the protective uncle he is, peeked over her shoulders to see what she was smiling at.

"I still don't understand 21st-century technology. It's really innovative how they made a communicative device as the size of my hand, but who is that you are talking to in that small box?"

Ophelia blushed at the thought of Damon. Kol immediately noticed her smile and knew it was definitely a potential lover. "Oh, I know that smile. You used to smile like that every time I would make you cupcakes. So who is this person that seems to be as good as cupcakes?"

"His name is Damon Salvatore." Kol's eyes widened, remembering that name clearly. He wasn't sure if Damon would be the best influence on his niece, but he let it go this time, knowing that if Damon would dare to hurt her, he could just kill him.

"I've met him before, back in 1912. You were only four years old at the time." Ophelia closed her eyes, not wanting to imagine herself with Damon as a four-year-old.

"Tha's interesting...sorry you had to deal with him, I know how annoying he could be."

"He was tolerable. Let's hope I don't run into him at the dance, or else, he and I are going to have a chat."

"If you do, don't kill him, I actually like this one." Kol put his hands up in surrender, nodding to his niece's wishes.

After a moment of silence, Kol continued to stare at Ophelia, but not in a creepy way. More of a 'happy that she is back and missed her so much' way. Catching her off guard, Kol flashed in front of Ophelia and hugged her with both of his strong arms, Ophelia hugged back almost instantly.

"I missed you, darling. It's good to have you back so we can cause mischief once again."

"I missed you too, uncle Kol."
