"It's getting close to that time, Nik. When are they supposed to arrive again?" Rebekah asked her older brother as she paced back and forth in the kitchen of the Mikaelson mansion in Mystic Falls.

"Don't worry, Bekah, they will be here shortly. You know Kol would not be late for such an occasion by even a second. He's been waiting 18 years." Nik told her as he leaned against the wall.

"Do you have the blood bags ready?" Rebekah asked nervously.

"You know how they are, Bekah. I doubt we will even need the blood bags, but I have them ready nevertheless." Nik told her reassuringly.

"What if-," Rebekah began but was cut off by the sound of the front door opening and closing. "They're here!"

The two originals walked into the adjoining room and immediately saw Kol and Elijah carrying a large, expensive looking coffin with the signature Mikaelson 'M' embossed in shiny metal on the lid.

They carried the coffin into the dining room and laid it upon the table, all four originals staring at it in silence for a moment before they looked at Kol.

"What time is it?" Kol asked the rest of his siblings quickly. Elijah looked down at his watch and looked back at Kol.

"It is 9:02pm. The full moon will be at its peak at precisely 9:08pm, that is when she said it would happen. It will be safe to wake her directly after that." Elijah told his younger sibling.

"Bloody hell, this has been the longest day of my life. I wish you all would have just kept me in my box with her for the entire 18 years!" Kol responded, running his hands through his hair.

"You know why we had to wake you, Kol, otherwise things wouldn't have happened as they were supposed to." Elijah reminded him.

"All the while torturing me by letting me watch from afar, not being able to even protect her!" Kol said, now pacing back and forth, continuing to look at the time on his ipod.

"You are not the only one who was suffering, Kol! She's our sister, we love her too, you know?!" Rebekah told him loudly.

"That is different and you know it, Rebekah. She's my wife! How would you feel if you had a husband for a thousand plus years and he daggered himself leaving a note saying not to wake him for 18 years?!" Kol shouted at his younger sister.

"We all knew it was going to happen, Kol. We had it planned for a century!" Rebekah responded.

"The plan was for me to be the one to do it, not herself. I didn't even get to tell her goodbye, Bekah." Kol said, defeatedly as he checked his Ipod for the time once more. 9:06pm.

"Brother, you know that she did it herself because she knew it would cause you pain to do so." Elijah reminded him.

"We went over this 18 years ago, can we please get on with it and focus on the fact that she will be back and good as new in a very short while?" Nik said annoyed at listening to the same argument that seemed pointless now. 9:07pm.

The last minute seemed to pass as slowly as possible as the Elijah slowly opened the coffin lid, looking down at the desicated girl inside, blue veins spreading over her greyed body as the silver dagger protruded from her breast.

Kol looked down at her and felt a pang in his chest at seeing his love in such a state. By all means, she was dead with that dagger in her chest. The thought pained him, until a very loud alarm went off from his pocket. 9:08pm. It was time.

Kol looked up at Elijah who, after a short moment, nodded his head at the youngest original brother. He then placed his hands around the cold silver dagger and gently pulled it from the girl's chest, placing it back in the box it had been originally kept.

After a few moments, Kol let out an audible sigh of relief as he watched the deep blue veins disappear beneath the surface of the girl's skin. The life was returning back to his love.

A few minutes later, she sprung up, gasping for air, looking around frantically. Her eyes finally focused on the man in front of her and her face softened, until the moment that she felt the intense hunger coursing through her.

"Have at it, darling." Kol said as he offered her his wrist. Nik and Rebekah just rolled their eyes as Elijah turned his head, giving respect to the intimate act of their blood-sharing.

She bit into his wrist and drank her fill, immediately springing back to life as the rest of the grey tone to her body receded.

Once she was done, Kol immediately helped her out of her coffin and engulfed her in a tight embrace, kissing her passionately until a cough interrupted them.

"We would like a hello too, you know!" Rebekah said as Nik laughed. The girl turned to look at them with a guilty expression before hugging the three of them individually.

"Has it been 18 years already?" She asked Kol, who nodded quickly.

"18 years, 4 months, and 3 days. It's the 21st of October, 2013, just after 9:15pm now, exactly when you said." Kol responded to her before hugging her into his side, as if he would never let her go again. "And you and I will be having a serious talk later, darling." He whispered into her ear.

"It's been 18 years and Kol still isn't over the fact that you daggered yourself." Rebekah told her.

"We'll talk about it later. Right now we have to go find Bonnie, remember?" The girl said seriously.

"Right now? Why not in the morning?" Kol asked, complaining.

"I've waited over a thousand years to find out why she sent me to the past, not to mention, she is probably freaking out seeing as my body just disappeared." She told him.

"Remember, mate. Happy wife, happy life." Nik whispered jokingly into Kol's ear.

"I heard that, Nik." The girl glared at the original hybrid.

"Glad to have you back, sister. I was getting quite tired of the younger version of you hating me so much." Nik said playfully.

"Ugh, me too. Though it was quite fun playing the bitch. I've successfully taken out any anger I had at you in the past millennia." Rebekah said laughing. "You know your friends will be quite confused."

"What? Because I am suddenly just as old as you are and an original vampire?" She said laughing back.

"You're still the youngest, sister." Nik said with a chuckle.

"Oh I know, Bex never lets me forget it." She said glaring at Rebekah playfully. "Two months! That's it!"

"Yes, but let's not forget that you were born a thousand years after we were, dear." Elijah said, joining in the fun.

"I've still been alive for the same amount of time, that shouldn't be considered!" She said before she began laughing. "A thousand years and we are still arguing about the same thing. Unbelievable."

"Well, darling, would you like to visit your friend now? The sooner we do the sooner we can get back and make up for lost time." Kol asked after the laughter died down. He leaned down to her ear and whispered, "I have missed you, my love." The action sending chills down her newly reawakened veins. She turned and kissed him passionately.

"Get a room," Bekah said, feigning disgust.

"We have one, and I fully intend on using it later." Kol said, smirking at his siblings who looked disgusted as his wife playfully punched his shoulder.

"Alright then, lets get going, shall we?" Elijah said, clearing the room of the tension.

"Running or car?" Bekah asked.

"Running. I feel the intense need to stretch my legs after laying in a coffin for nearly two decades." She replied, causing Kol to smirk before he whispered something in her ear and took off at vampire speed.

"Running it is then." Nik said before the rest of them sped away to catch up with the other original.

It only took less than a minute to reach the Bennett witch's house and as soon as the girl arrived, she stopped dead in her tracks. She hadn't seen Bonnie in a thousand years, yet Bonnie had just seen her only moments ago. She suddenly felt very nervous.

"It's alright, darling, I am here with you." Kol said as he grabbed her. "Would you like me to go first?" The girl nodded.

Kol walked up to the door as she and the others waited behind a tree in the front yard. He knocked thrice before the distraught looking witch opened the door.

"What do you want, Kol?" Bonnie asked annoyed at the original's presence after the night she had.

"I've brought someone who would like some answers." Kol replied.

"Who did you bring and why would they need answers? I really don't need any crap right now." Bonnie replied.

The girl stepped out of the shadows of the tree and began to walk up to the house, before saying 'screw it' to herself and whooshing up to Kol's side at vampire speed.

"Bonnie?" She asked quietly.

"ELENA?!" Bonnie shrieked when she saw her best friend, who had just disappeared, now holding hands with an original.
