A story in which Alaric has a daughter with Isobel but 4 years before she had Elena. (She meets John after in this story) Being new in town would be hard for just anyone, but not for Era. She was strong, beautiful, and smart. However, how strong can...
We leave the hotel in the morning after eating, and getting ready to head to Chicago.

Klaus, Stefan, and I get out of a car. Klaus and I still haven't spoke since last night. I think Stefan noticed something happen because I haven't even called Klaus a name today.
Klaus looks at me for a moment, "Welcome back to Chicago, Stefan." Stefan shrugs, "What are we doing here?"
"I know how much you loved it here," Klaus smirks. "Bringing back memories of the good old ripper days?"
"Blacked out most of them. A lot of blood, a lot of partying. The details are all a blur", Stefan replies truthfully. Klaus smiles, "Well, that is a crying shame. The details are what make it legend."
As we keep walking I notice Klaus gets lost in thought, probably about old times in Chicago.
Klaus snaps out of it, "Chicago was magical."
"Yeah, well, I'll take your word for it. Like I said, I don't remember most of it", Stefan reminds.
"Going to get down to business, then?", Klaus questions. Stefan chuckles, "Why am I still with you? We had our fun, your hybrids failed. I mean, don't you want to move on?"
"We're going to see my favorite witch. If anyone can help us with our hybrid problem, it's her", a twinge of jealous runs through me because of Klaus's answer. I huff in annoyance quietly pushing down the feeling. Klaus walks over to the car door which is being held open by one of his minions.
Klaus spaces out again remembering the 20's . I get a vision of him and Stefan, but decide to keep it to myself.
In the present day, Klaus, Stefan, and I enter the bar. It's dim, quiet, and empty.
"Looks familiar, doesn't it?", Klaus reminisces. Stefan laughs, "I can't believe this place is still here." I feel out of the loop old grumpy vampires I snicker quietly. A witch walks to the bar, "You got to be kidding me."
Klaus smiles.
"So a hybrid walks into a bar, says to the bartender.."
"Stop. You may be invincible, but that doesn't make you funny", I speak for the first time today. Klaus just glares, but surprisingly doesn't continue. "Well, Well I can tell me and this young witch is going to get along", the witch at the bar laughs causing me to smile.
She looks at Stefan, "I remember you." Stefan also knows her, "Yeah. You're Gloria. Shouldn't you be..." Gloria interrupts, "Old and dead? Now if I die, who's going to run this place, huh?"
"Gloria's a very powerful witch.", Klaus turns to tell me. Gloria winks at me, "I can slow the aging down some. Herbs and spells. But don't worry, it'll catch up to me one day." "Stefan, why don't you go and fix us up a little something from behind the bar?" Stefan does so.
