     " 𝓚ol - " Rebekah began, glancing to her brother who stood within the middle of the room; seemingly rooted where he stood. Having bolted up out of his coffin the vampire had examined the room for a brief moment before he rushed towards the seemingly easy target. Only a few feet away from the girl he stopped, watching as she had raised a hand; ready to cast something in order to protect herself. That is where they stood, frozen in that moment. The room, silent as all pairs of eyes fell upon the two in their silent exchange. He took a moment before he spoke, turning his head slightly to glance back to his sister behind him. " outside. " He stated simply and the two vanished from sight. Elijah had bolted out of the room the moment he was awoken, seemingly in search of the woman who had worked hard to recover himself and his siblings.

Freya took a moment after the exchange before heading over to Evelyn. " Sorry about him- " she began, glancing in the direction of the exit. " -being asleep for five years must have left them all starved. " Evelyn nodded in response to her words. Lowering her hand finally as she glanced over to Keelin who looked more shocked than before if that was even possible. Sharing a look with Evelyn which spoke more words than either could seem to form.

Why didn't he attack? What stopped him?
    if he was truly that hungry then what clicked in his mind to stop?

     " You did it Freya " A voice came from the other side of the room as Hayley re-entered with Elijah closely beside her. Suit jacket clinging to her covered frame. She'd shifted. Evelyn gave a small smile to Hayley, it was good to see her smile. Even in that moment, having Elijah beside her seemed to spark a light in the woman that the witch hadn't ever seen before. " I had help " Freya spoke, moving to grab the items from the floor. Elijah took a moment before walking over to Evelyn, she stood still, her smile fading slightly at the vampire's presence, his calmness, made her slightly uneasy. " Thank you, both of you but it seems... we should be making our move or risk more unwelcome guests on our tail. " He spoke in such a poised and assured way.

     " Where are we going? " Keelin pipped in, still restrained to the chair. Hayley looked to Freya who had paused picking up items, the two sharing a silent moment before Hayley looked to Elijah and finally to Keelin. " We're still missing someone. We're going to get them. "

BANG BANG BANG !

     " Finally, one more minute in this stuffy truck and I was going to scream. " Rebekah complained from within the darkness.

     " Oh come on dear sister, are we that intolerable? " Kol quipped back, stood next to her but he too was equally as antsy.

     " Oh shut up, I don't see why we can't just steal a car and follow along behind rather than being thrown about like cattle back here. " Rebekah continued, looking to her brother who simply frowned and went to speak before-

     " Because we need to keep a low profile and neither of you can do that when you're hungry. " Freya pipped in, walking over from where Keelin was chained down. Clearly not happy about the situation. Both siblings fell quiet at their older sister's words.

     " Will they bloody hurry up. " Rebekah muttered, looking towards the back door of the truck.

and as if on cue the sound of footsteps came from outside the vehicle, two sets. A rattling from the lock and soon the doors flung open. Both Hayley and Elijah stood in front of the doors, Elijah with a rather bright smile at having heard the complaints from his siblings.

     " Comfortable are we? " He questioned as Rebekah and Kol stumbled out of the vehicle into the early morning daylight, both squinting from the brightness. " No, we weren't comfortable- " Rebekah began, moving her hair from her face and shooting a very unfriendly look to Elijah. "- whilst you sat happily for the last five hours we've been thrown around and battered by this blimmin truck . "
