Klaus, Annalise, and Stefan got out of the car after a long ride. Anna was annoyed with where the hybrid had brought them.

"Welcome back to Chicago." Klaus announced with a sinister smile.

"What are we doing here?" the vampire questioned.

"I'm asking myself that same question." Annalise muttered.

"I know how much you loved it here. Bringing back memories of the good old ripper days." the hybrid grinned.

Anna suddenly realized what Klaus was trying to do, making her even more annoyed.

"Blacked out most of them. A lot of blood, a lot of partying. The details are all a blur." Stefan said mindlessly.

"I'm sure they are." the heretic scoffed.

"Well, that is a crying shame. The details are what makes it legend."

"Oh for crying out loud Nik, just get what you came here for and lets go." Anna snapped.

"Well little one, the next step is all yours." Klaus smirked.

Anna sighed, "You want me to find out why this is happening to your hybrids."

"Well I thought you would have been giving it a thought since the first time I asked you." Klaus told the girl.

"Well sorry we don't have the same list of priorities Nik."

"Just tell me what happened." Klaus said.

"I want a drink first." the girl smiled as she walked into a bar.

Anna slid into a booth as the two men followed behind. Klaus and Stefan slid into the seat in front of her.

A waiter came by the three, "I'll have a whiskey." the heretic smiled.

The man looked at the other two and both shook their heads.

"Well you two are boring." Anna rolled her eyes as the waiter walked away.

"Anna" Klaus said becoming impatient.

"Oh right, well every spell has a loophole but a curse as old as yours, we'd have to contact the original witch who cast it." Anna told her friend.

"Well that would be the Original witch yet she is very much dead."

"I know, so for me to contact her I would need Bekah." Anna crossed her arms, knowing very well Klaus had her stashed somewhere.

"Rebekah. Rebekah is a bit preoccupied." the hybrid said.

"I'm not daft Nik, I know very well what you did with her. You want to find out what went wrong? I need her." the girl glared at him.

Klaus sighed and merely nodded but Stefan was looking elsewhere.

"What is this?" Stefan asked shocked.

Anna and Klaus looked at the picture the vampire was looking at.

Klaus smirked, "Well, I told you Stefan, Chicago's a magical place."

"But this is me. With you two."

The picture was taken of Anna in the middle while the two men stood next to her.

"This doesn't make any sense. Why don't I remember you two?"

"You said it yourself, that time had a lot of dark holes." Klaus smiled.

"No, if you knew me, then why haven't you said anything?" Stefan asked looking between the two best friends.

"Now why do you think I despise you, Stefan?" Anna raised a brow.

"I'm a little busy right now. Memory Lane will have to wait."

"What's going on? Answer me." Stefan stated.

"Easy with the demands mate." the girl said.

"Let's just say we didn't get off to a brilliant start. To be honest, I hated you." Klaus chuckled.

"Your sister. So I knew another original vampire." Stefan said as his mind kept running through old memories.

"Mhm, I never did like you. Though it was Rebekah who fancied you, didn't get her anywhere sadly." the heretic bitterly said as the three walked with Klaus leading them.

"If you can't handle it, then don't ask." Klaus simply told the vampire.

All the coffins containing the originals are around them. Klaus opens one. And there laid Rebekah, Anna smiled seeing her best friend again after decades.

"I don't recognize her." Stefan said out loud.

"Well don't tell her that. Rebekah's temper is worse than mine." Klaus shook his head.

Anna rolled her eyes and pulled the dagger out of her friends chest.

The girl wasn't paying attention to the grown men speaking with each other, all that had her attention was the pulling feeling she was getting from the coffin across Rebekah.

Anna immediately thought of Elijah, now thinking of him, she tilted her head in confusion as to why she wanted to walk over to him so much.

Meanwhile, Klaus was compelling a man to feed Rebekah blood for when she awoke.

"Anna love, we'll be back soon."

Annalise snapped her attention towards the two and nodded at the hybrid.

The two men walked out and Anna was left thinking about the curious Original.

What always crossed her mind, was how the girl felt the pain of being daggered, though it was Elijah who was stabbed not her.

It was a confusing thing to think about.

Anna got up and walked over to the coffin that was pulling her in, almost inviting her.

The girl opened the casket and there was Elijah, Anna felt a sudden sadness wash over her like a wave. It was sudden and alarming.

She sighed and softly caressed the Original's face when her eyes caught sight of the silver dagger.

Something in her was desperate to pull it out, she wanted to pull it out.

Anna was entranced with the male before her, she had been with other people in her long life but none had made her feel this way.

Her hand, that suddenly had a mind of it's own, grabbed the handle, but a sudden blonde awaking broke her out of the trance she was in.

Clearing her throat the girl closed the coffin again, what had gotten into her?

Anna walked over to the blonde and saw her stirring awake. The girl sighed and sat on a chair.

Rebekah rose from the coffin and looked around her, "Welcome back, Beks." Anna smiled.

The Original smiled but a horrifying hunger alarmed the girl. The guy Klaus had compelled, walked in and instantly Rebekah vamped out.

The girl kept drinking even after the human was dead. The blonde threw the body and sighed as her face regained it's color.

Rebekah caught sight of her friend that was standing before her, the blonde squealed and engulfed her in a hug.

Anna chuckled and hugged her back with the same intensity.

"Oh how I've missed you." she whispered.

Rebekah pulled back with a smile, "It feels like I haven't seen you in forever."

"Has been forever for me." Anna said, she hadn't seen her friend since Klaus daggered her in 1922.

"Now where is my bastard of a brother." Rebekah shrieked, she was beyond angered.

Though the blonde looked Annalise up and down, "Is this how they dress nowadays?"

"Sadly." Anna laughed.

Rebekah heard Klaus coming so she winked at Anna and disappeared from sight, the heretic laughed as the hybrid walked in.

"Where is she?" Klaus asked Anna who merely shrugged with a smile on her face.

"Rebekah... It's your big brother. Come out, come out, wherever you are." the hybrid said loudly.

Rebekah appeared behind Klaus and struck him with the dagger.

"Go to hell Nik!"

Klaus takes the dagger out of his chest and throws it on the ground.

"Don't pout. You knew it wouldn't kill me." Klaus told his sister.

"Yeah, but I was hoping it would hurt more." she complained.

"I understand that you're upset with me, Rebekah... So I'm going to let that go. Just this once. Brought you a little peace offering. You can come in." Klaus said.

Stefan walked in and Rebekah gasped, "Stefan"

Klaus gets closer to him and compels the vampire, "Now you remember"

Stefan looked at Klaus, Anna, and Rebekah. "We were friends"

"Wrong, I just tolerated you for their sake. Don't get it twisted." Anna glared at him.

Klaus looked at Rebekah, "Now the reason you're here. Anna tells me we need you to contact the Original witch."

Anna nodded and looked at blonde.

"The original witch." Rebekah says more to herself.

"Well do you have what Anna needs?" Klaus asked her.

The blonde touched her neck, "Where's my necklace? What did you do with it? I never take it off!" she yelled at her brother.

"I don't know. I didn't touch it." Klaus said defensively.

"We need to find it, Nik. Now, I want it back!" Rebekah shouted.

Klaus looked at Anna, "Tell me that isn't what you need."

"Well I could if you want me to lie." she answered.

Klaus groaned in frustration.

Anna looked over at Stefan when she noticed his concerned look, the girl narrowed her eyes at him.

He knew something.
