Location.....Chicago

No one's pov

Stefan led Klaus away from his old apartment where he discovered Elena hiding but he of course didn't say anything. Elena had grabbed onto him, trying to make him stay in that closet with her but he said nothing and just shrugged her off before leaving the closet after telling Klaus he found nothing.

"Where are we going?" Stefan questioned as Klaus wanted to take him somewhere "we're making a stop at a bar thought we could do with a little drink" Klaus replied as they arrived at a bar and he pushed the doors open revealing the bar to be empty aside from the one woman that was there.

She had dark skin and her hair was very short as if she had shaved her head and her hair was growing back, she wore a grey top and jeans she had her back to the door as she wiped a glass with a cloth.

"We're closed" she spoke without looking back as she heard the door open "what? Even for an old friend" Klaus remarked making her turn around and she smirked "Klaus Mikaelson, I'd hardly call you a friend, more like an acquaintance than anything" she replied "yet you're the only acquaintance that does not wish to kill me" Klaus retorted "why I have better things to do than try to kill the almighty original hybrid besides you were one of my best customers back in the day" she remarked making him grin.

"So I was and I see you've heard word of my transition" Klaus replied "who hasn't, it's got all the witches talking, well that and something else" the woman replied which had Stefan frowning "Stefan this is Gloria, she's a witch and a great one at that" Klaus explained as he introduced her to him.

"Pleasure to meet you" Stefan spoke as he held out his hand to her but she didn't take it "you say that like you haven't seen me before, don't play around Stefan" Gloria replied making him frown "we know each other?" he asked confused not remembering ever meeting her.

Gloria turned to Klaus at this "he doesn't remember does he?" she asked making Stefan even more confused "remember what?" he asked "allow me to jog your memory" Klaus replied before stepping in front of Stefan and looking into his eyes "you will remember everything" he spoke compelling him to remember everything he compelled him to forget.

Stefan's eyes widened as the memories came flooding back and he slightly staggered back "we knew each other in 1920. We were friends" he said making Klaus nod "that's right we were, glad to have you back old friend" he said patting him on the shoulder.

Stefan turned to Gloria "Gloria how are you still alive? You must be like 90 or 100 years old?" Stefan questioned and she smirked "I take a few herbs to halt my aging, it'll catch up to me one day but right now I'm enjoying being alive, now I must ask what brings you here as I don't want any trouble being brought into my bar like the last time you two were here" Gloria replied making Klaus stiffen slightly.

"That was merely a little miss hap" Klaus replied making her scoff "a little miss hap? My bar was shot up to hell, should I expect that to happen again because if so allow me to show you to the door" Gloria stated "I can assure you we bring no trouble, I'm here because I need your help with something" Klaus explained "what is it?" Gloria asked placing a hand on her hip.

"Well you see I'm having a bit of trouble making my hybrids so I need to find out what I'm doing wrong" Klaus explained and Gloria sighed "I can help but I'm gonna need Rebekah" she replied "and why do you need my sister?" he asked "because she has what I need to contact the original witch so where is she?" she asked "she's a little out of bounds at the moment but I shall be right back with her" Klaus replied before turning to Stefan "stay here" he said before vamp speeding away.
