Emalyn Gilbert never knew what her purpose was, all she knew was that someday she would find it. A journey full of doppelgangers, vampires, witches, and death was not what she had i...

The car skidded to a stop out inside a dark warehouse. Lyn couldn't hold back the wince of pain that slipped through her clenched teeth at the abrupt spot. "Sorry, luv," Klaus said, opening up his door with a glance at Lyn, who was still laying down in the backseat. "We'll be just a minute," He assured her.
Lyn nodded and closed her eyes as Stefan pushed open his door, too. She could practically feel his concerned gaze but she was much too tired to acknowledge it.
Klaus and Stefan might have been out there talking for seconds or hours, but, once again, Lyn didn't care enough to keep track. But when they did come back into the car, Klaus directed one of his compelled minions to drive while he sat down in the back. Lyn didn't know what to think when he carefully propped her up against himself and instructed the driver to drive carefully.
She really needed to figure out what her relationship was with the hybrid. She pondered that for a moment before the exhaustion won out and she fell asleep against Klaus.
Thankfully, the driver took Klaus's directions seriously and Lyn wasn't disturbed at all on their drive. She awoke to someone gently shaking her shoulders. With a groan, she opened her eyes and turned to see Klaus and Stefan looking at her expectantly. Stefan got out of the car, followed by Klaus, and then held his hand out to help Lyn out of the car. She sighed and, placing her hands on either side of the door, pushed herself to her feet.
Lyn staggered a bit when she first stood, her legs weak and aching, but managed to catch herself. Klaus nodded at Stefan, who then snaked one of his arms around Lyn's waist in order to steady her.
Stefan helped Lyn all the way to the bar they were entering. When they made it, he gently eased her into a seat and took in the sight. Lyn watched the curiosity in his eyes as he surveyed the bar. She also noticed the smirk on Klaus's face, the one that said he knew something they didn't.
"Looks familiar, doesn't it?" He prompted.
"I can't believe this place is still here." Stefan exclaimed, causing Lyn to realize that this must have been one of the places Stefan used to frequent. It also made her more suspicious as to how Klaus knew about it.
"You gotta be kidding me," a voice said from the side. They all turned to see another woman looking at them in disbelief.
Klaus grinned mischievously at the sight of her. "So, a hybrid walks into a bar, says to the bartender..."
"Stop," The woman cut him off. "You may be invincible but that doesn't make you funny,"
Lyn snorted a little bit, but it went unnoticed. The woman's eyes trailed to Stefan next. "I remember you."
"Yeah. You're Gloria. Shouldn't you be...?" Stefan wondered.
"Old and dead?" Gloria finished for him. "Now, if I die, who's gonna run this place, huh?"
