1 year later...

It was four months until your 21st birthday. Four months until you Turned into a werecat and became immortal.

You had been gone for six months. Now you were driving back to New Orleans to do the necessary preparations for your Turning, which required a large chunk of time. You wouldn't be staying at the compound. Instead you had gotten yourself an apartment not too close but not too far from it.

When you finally arrived and walked into your new apartment, you had the living hell scared out of you.

Rebekah, Elijah, Freya and Hayley were there waiting. You'd forgotten that you'd told them you were coming, though you were pretty sure you hadn't told them yet where you were staying. Regardless, you dropped your bags and yelped when they shouted "Surprise!"

You'd missed them so much while you were gone. Sure, you talked to them all the time, but it was different compared to actually being there with them.

They helped you unpack and settle in and you traded stories, even retelling what you already knew. When they left at almost midnight, the apartment felt a little empty.

It wasn't until you were comfortable in bed that you realized Klaus hadn't been there. And of course, that thought opened the dam to more. Was he still mad? Had he managed to find the daggers? Were you still mad? Would things ever be same between you two? Would things even get better? Or would you be stuck like this forever?

Suffice to say you didn't sleep well that night.
