In a thousand years a lot can happen. Vampires being created, werewolves changing on full moons, and witches involved in the inner workings of nature.
Niklaus Mikealson thought he'd seen it all. Traveling all these years to try and find a way to br...
The Vampire Diaries Season 3: Episode 5 The Reckoning
The room was stuck in silence because of the abrupt ending of the last scene. It was finally broken when everyone heard a sigh from the Originals' side of the room.
Elijah was the one the noise came from, and he spoke after a couple of seconds. "I'm not even surprised." Åse let out a light scoff before saying, "We've known each other for over 1,000 years, Elijah, it's well established that my anger is the worst. Nothing should surprise you anymore."
Not wanting to be on the end of said anger, Elijah merely nods his head in agreement. With silence reigning once again, the screen turns back on.
Stefan can be seen lying on the floor of what looks like the truck the Originals' coffins have been stored in. The camera pans over to a pair of black heeled boots. Moving upwards, there are black leather pants, a long black belt, a half-and-half black and white off-the-shoulder sweater, and finally the face of Åse Mikealson with a pair of black sunglasses resting on top of her head.

She has a blank look on her face as she watches Stefan's temporarily dead body. A few feet in front of her, Rebekah speaks up. "Did you really have to break his neck the whole way here?" Without looking at the blonde, she just says a quick "Yes."
Frustrated by the lack of an explanation, Rebekah pushes and asks, "Why?" Unconsciously, Åse's eyes flash red as her head snaps up in Rebekah's direction. In a harsh tone, she says, "I told him what I'd be doing, Rebekah. You were there. You got just as much of a warning as he did." She takes a second to close her eyes and breathe. She continues, "As for why? Mostly because I felt like it, but also because it allowed me time to think without you and him questioning me." Now satisfied and slightly scared, Rebekah nods her head in acknowledgment.
A few more minutes pass before Stefan suddenly gasps awake. Looking over at the noise, Åse crouches down at eye level to look at Stefan. Tilting her head with a slight smirk on her lips, she teasingly says, "Took a bit longer this time. I was starting to worry."
Stefan didn't respond, but he did glance at her hands warily. Noticing his gaze, Åse said, "Oh, you don't have to worry about me breaking your neck anymore." She motioned to the back door of the truck, where Klaus had been standing this whole time. Light flooded in as Klaus opened the door. He turned back to the younger vampire to say, "Welcome back to Mystic Falls, Stefan." ———————— It was nighttime now as the scene shifted, revealing several dark hallways at Mystic Falls High School. Matt Donovan can be seen walking through the school towards a classroom where noise is coming from. It was dark inside, so he opened the door to check out what was happening. The teenager only took two steps before he jumped and turned the light on out of fright because he had triggered dozens of mouse traps to go off.
