2011 CHICAGO"I knew you two and another Original in the 1920's?" Stefan asked, in pure shock"Oh I wouldn't just say know, you really knew." Nora and Klaus both laughed at Stefan's cluelessness. "You knew her inside out, every nook and cranny. I'd say." "I'd have to agree with Nora on this one. You really knew her." Nik continued to laugh as it finally hit Stefan."Oh." was all that left his mouth,"Your oh's were a lot more passionate back then." Nora remarked."If you can't handle it, don't ask." Klaus said, seeing the look on Stefan's face. "Way to un-lighten the mood, Nik." Nora sighed, walking beside him,"Oh believe me, Nora, your mood is about to be thoroughly un-lightened." Klaus gave her a quick glance whilst Stefan trailed behind them, still full of questions. Questions which they had no intention of answering. Nora's pace slowed down as they got closer to Rebekah's coffin. "I don't recognise her." Stefan said bluntly as they all stood around the blonde's desicated body. "Don't tell her that, Rebekah's temper is worse than mine." the hybrid said as he removed the dagger from Rebekah's chest. "Hmm, I wouldn't be so sure, you certainly have a temper." Nora eased up a little. "Look, why don't you just tell me what the hell is going on? I mean, you obviously want me here for a reason, right?" Stefan quickly interrupted."Well, you have many useful talents." Nik answered vaguely, clearly not in the mood to give details. "Do I?" Stefan stared in confusion,"Yeah, there was this one thing you did with your hair and it'd spike up you looked like a porcupine-" Nora began to ramble but swiftly stopped upon seeing the glare she was getting from both men."In fact, I learned some of my favorite tricks from you.""Any minute now, Rebekah." Klaus's sighed impatiently, "She's being dramatic." he added "It's almost like you shoved a dagger in her heart then stashed her away in a box waiting till you wanted to bring her back out to play." Nora retorted."Now where the hell are you going?" Klaus said turning to Nora who had began to walk out the door,"I'm just going outside, Nik, breath for a moment it might help your incessant paranoia!" Nora yelled back."What do you want?" Nora sighed seeing Stefan lean on the wall beside her,"What happened in the 1920's?" Stefan asked, there was this determined look in his eye."Be a tad more specifc, it was a busy time." the brunette turned towards Stefan."Around the time where you decided that you hate me. Come on, it's pretty transparent, there's certainly some form of resentment from back then." he spoke in some all-knowing way."It's all a bit fuzzy." she responded stubbornly"Yeah, because that isn't transparent at all." his each word was dripping with sarcasm."Some day, I'd quite like to meet the real you because ripper you is a real arse." Nora quickly changed the topic. Stefan opened his mouth to speak but swiftly closed it when Klaus poked his head out the door,"It's getting depressing in a warehouse with compelled guards and coffins." Klaus groaned."Coffins which you filled." Stefam said with a glare,"Shut up, Stefan." Nora said following Klaus back inside, Stefan had been told to wait outside by Klaus. "Rebekah...It's your big brother. Come out, come out, wherever you are." Klaus said upon seeing Bekah's empty coffin,"I really doubt calling her like a dog will work." Nora leaned against a shelving rack."Here was me thinking you wouldn't have had much to say at this moment." Klaus retorted, Nora began to speak but was cut off by Klaus groaning as Rebekah rushed out and stabbed her brother with the dagger. "Go to hell Nik!" she screamed at him as she drove the dagger through his heart. Klaus sighed as he removed the dagger,"Don't pout. You knew it wouldn't kill me Klaus sighed as he removed the dagger. "Yeah, but I was hoping it would hurt more." Bekah glared at her brother whilst she spoke. " 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." Nik spoke smugly, knowing he could easily win Rebekah over this way. Nora watched from the sidelines as Stefan walked into the warehouse, yet he had no evidently didn't recognise the blonde who was so happy to see him. Klaus stood closer to Stefan, placing his hand on the boy's shoulder as he compelled him to remember. Klaus moved to the side allowing Stefan to see Bekah, "Rebekah." he said aloud as the memories returned to him. The Salvatore took a step closer but was stopped by Klaus tapping his shoulder. "I remember you, we were friends." Stefan said dramatically whilst Nora rolled her eyes. "We are friends." Nik corrected.THE NEXT DAYThe clothing store was empty with the except of Stefan, Klaus, Nora scattered across the sofas and Rebekah who was in the changing room. Everyone was a tad uneasy after Klaus's colossal disapointment when Bekah failed to provide the necklace he so desperately wanted. "There has to be more to this dress." Rebekah called from the changing room, "There isn't." Klaus yelled back, Nora and Stefan snickered as they took a sip of their drinks. Rebekah sighed leaving the changing room,"So women in the 21st century dress like prostitutes, then. You know, I got dirty looks for wearing trousers." the blonde remarked."You certainly pull off the prostitute look better." Nora smirked, "You wore trousers so women today could wear nothing." Nik sighed, he was evidently bored of this. "I'm sure you are certainly enjoying modern women's lack of clothing." Nora retorted."And what on Earth is this music it sounds like a cable car accident." Rebekah said, looking disgusted,"It's dance music." Stefan explained."People dance to this?" her disgust only grew."Are we done?" Nik sat up,"And why are you so grumpy?" the blonde turned to him."I needed one thing From you for my witch to find out why my hybrids are dying, one thing. Your necklace. And you lost it." Klaus snapped. Hours later Rebekah, Klaus and Nora sat in Gloria's bar, "Just like old times." the heretic said, watching Gloria float her hands above an arrangement of candles.
"Old times were certainly a lot more fun than watching Mystic Meg pitifully try to find a bloody necklace." Bekah sighed earning the side-eye from Gloria and a laugh from Nora. "Why the hell can't you do the spell?" Beks directed her question to Nora."I'm busy." the brunette responded nonchalantly."Doing what?" Rebekah scoffed,"Talking to you." Nora retorted."I guess that is far more important than finding Nik's stupid necklace." the blonde pretended to seriously consider it before she burst out laughing along with the heretic. Nora turned, looking out the window. She abruptly stopped at the figure she saw. "I'll be back." Nora grabbed her jacket rushing out the door, she passed Stefan who was entering the bar. Nora was trailing after the girl she had seen from the window, she kept following the girl as she went into an alleyway. "Ciana!" the brunette called aloud making the girl stop in her tracks. "Nora." she sounded relieved as she turned on her heel. "Words cannot explain how much I've missed you." Nora engulfed the blonde in a hug, burying her head into the crook of Ciana's neck.
