/N Takes place during Season 3 of the Originals, there is a still a big threat over the Mikaelson's but there is no Lucien, Tristan or Aurora.
A small dew drop rolls off a leaf hitting the head of the motionless body, skin dry and pale with eye close. Bags underneath them, one finger twitches in the dirt before two eyes flicker open. Looking each way, she sits up grabbing the bottom of her night gown seeing more trees around her than before. Walking through the woods, she stops at a bench where a couple are having a picnic. They stop and raise their heads looking at her.
"Hello my lord and his fair maiden, can you please enlighten me on what year it is" she asks?
"2015, your clothes are pre historic" the man says.
"Are you implying that I am old" Phoenix asks him?
"No I am not implying anything, but I would recommend a change of fashion" he states.
"Who are you to tell me, what I shall and shall not do" she barks glowering at him.
He goes to respond when he gasps and wraps his hand around his throat, the girl rushes over placing her hand on his back as she helps him. Her eyes wide with fear as his lips turn purple and his face turning pale.
"Someone help" the girl screams.
Phoenix eyes snap away and he coughs releasing his throat as people crowd around them, she picks up the bottom of her gown and runs off into the woods. She keeps running until her chest burns and she looks up to see a sign that says Welcome to Mystic Falls, as she goes to step over it a woman who is very young appears in front of her.
"May I help you" the girl says with a sassy tone.
"Yes I am currently lost and looking for Nik" Phoenix says.
"If the person who you claim to be looking for crossed this line than I can assure you that he is dead" the girl states.
Phoenix eyes darken with anger and the girl gasps clutching her chest as her heart clenches and her ears pop, blood leaks out as she drops to her knees.
"I do not know of you, but I shall have my respect" Phoenix states as the girl falls to her stomach before her eyes close.
Phoenix leans down and places her fingers on the girls head watching as black veins appear underneath her finger and beneath the girls temple, she chants in Latin and watches as her eye opens and appear cloudy white before closing again. A quick little amnesia spell she learned a while ago, she then hears clapping and turns to see a guy with dark black hair and blue eyes.
"Wow, one little girl as young as you took out an powerful heretic without a scratch" he says.
"I will do the same to you if I do not get the answers I desire" she states.
"Whadda wanna know" he asks?
"What is your name" she asks?
"Damon Salvatore at your mercy" he says.
"Tell me, where to find Nik" she states.
"Nik who? Are you referring to Niklaus Mikaelson" Damon asks?
"Yes my lover" she states.
"Well he is in New Orleans occupied" Damon says.
"Where is that" she asks?
"Are you not from this time" Damon asks?
"No I was born in 1803" she states.
"Well it is the year 2015. So you're a few decades lost but I can hear your blood pumping from your beating heart" Damon says.
"I will need to see directions to New Orleans" Phoenix says.
"Yeah you seem pretty powerful and I do not need him having a powerful witch as yourself on his side so I'm just not going to tell you" Damon says sighing.
"I do not need your permission" she chants and raises her hand up.
Damon groans as it feels like his brain is being stabbed repeatedly and he raises his hands to his head.
"What are you doing" he groans in pain.
"Picking through your mind, it won't be much longer now" she states as she sees all his memories flash in his mind but stopping at one of Klaus standing in his dining room with a glass in his hand.
She sees his shoulders are tensed and his fingers have a firm look around the glass, his hair now short and he is dressed in a firm fitted green shirt. She pulls away from Damon's mind and he gasps before standing up, when he looks up she has completely vanished.
"That's one crazy witch" he says.

An hour later, Phoenix is standing inside of a wardrobe shop in a long sleeve shirt with blue jeans and black boots that go to her knees. She looks in the mirror when the woman appears behind her placing a hand on her shoulders.
"You look beautiful and those jeans compliment your curves" she says.
"Well then I will take these and that red dress" Phoenix says.
"Yes coming right up" the lady says walking away to go in the back and grab them.
When she comes back, Phoenix is gone with the dress and her entire outfit. She can't believe how fast she has disappeared.

Klaus walks in the house after bringing Hope back to Hayley when he sees a white rose lying on the table on top of a red piece or paper, he picks it up in his hand and unfolds it holds it up to his view.
My love for you
Is like a blooming rose
On a cool, spring night
Soft and gentle
While vibrant and exciting
Our passions run deep
As the oceans floor
He then picks up the white rose and his mind flashes back to the night that he took Phoenix to a rose bed in the middle of the evening, she was running her fingers through them when he spotted one white rose in the midst of the red bed. He carefully picked it and stood behind her, she turned around to see him holding it up to her.
"A rose to represent the beautiful, young lady who I am endowed with strongly" Klaus states pushing a piece of loose hair behind her ear.
"Our love has no boundaries" Phoenix says taking the rose in her hand before leaning forward capturing his lips in his.
Klaus looks up when he hears footsteps as his memory ends and he turns around to see Phoenix in a red dress with fish net stockings and black combat boots, he is shocked after all of these centuries of her being dead.
"Hello love, has a ghost captured your aching heart" she asks?
"How am I seeing you right now" he asks?
"I am not dead" she says slowly walking towards him and he watches her every move.
"I touched your dead body" he states.
"Yes, you are right. Your violent father did murder me that night, yet believe my last dying breath. I was able to perform an immortality spell to awaken me, I did not believe it would have taken over one hundred years. But, whose counting when magic is involved" she says walking around him and to his liquor bar.
She reaches over grabbing a bottle of bourbon and filling a glass up half way and taking a sip, her throat burns at the tonic before she turns around to face him.
"I believe you should thank Damon Salvatore for your location" she says.
"Something is off about you" he says.
"I have changed Nik. Being murdered in cold blood changes people, I am more powerful than before. I do not know where it has come from, but I am indulging in every second of it" she states.
Klaus is in front of her in seconds and places his hands on her head making her look in his eyes.
"What such a precious soul divulge in darkness and reign on power and self gratitude" Klaus states.
"One has to have a precious soul to begin with. But I like how you try to use Shakespeare language to try and understand the change that has taken place within me" she says.
Phoenix shakes Klaus's hands off of her when Hayley walks in holding Hope in her arms, she turns around to face Hayley and watches as Klaus's face lights up.
"Who at you" Phoenix asks?
"She is the mother of my child and that is our daughter Hope. Now that all of the pleasures are out of the way, Hayley what are you doing here" he asks?
"Well Jackson left and Hope won't sleep so I need you to do what you do best" Hayley says.
"Ah yes, soothing my child. Very well" Klaus says taking Hope in his arms and humming to her.
Phoenix leans against the counter with her glass in her hands glaring daggers at Hayley, she is jealous that she was able to conceive a child with Klaus.
"How old are you exactly" Hayley asks?
"Younger than you" Phoenix states.
"Oh well I'm only twenty five so how younger can you be" Hayley asks?
"Seventeen well eighteen" Phoenix says and drowns her drink.
Hope is now asleep and Klaus presses his lips against her head before handing her back to Hayley.
"Sweet dreams my princess" Klaus says kissing her head.
Klaus walks Hayley to the door and she turns to look at him.
"How do you know her, she looks Davina's age" Hayley says so low only Klaus can hear her.
"We have history together" he says.
"How much history" Hayley asks?
"I well tell you later, now it is not important" Klaus says.
Once Hayley leaves, he turns back to face Phoenix.
"She's cute, still have a thing for young girls" she says about to refill her drink when Klaus reaches over taking it out of her hand.
"You are still a minor" he says.
"Never stopped you before" she says.
"Why did you seek me out? Was it the hope for a joy filled reconciliation between us two and the thought that we would happily ever after. We are not a sappy, fairy tale that Hayley reads to our child every night. I am Hybrid and you are a witch, our love was damned from the start" Klaus says to her with harshness.
"Hybrid? What do you mean" Phoenix asks?
"I activated my werewolf side now I am both" he speaks proudly.
"You have never once thought, about what could have happened if I had not been killed that night" she asks?
"You would have died either way" Klaus speaks.
"I would have died close by you instead of in the charred and cold woods" she snarls at him.
"Well you can't have everything you want" Klaus says.
"What happened to you? To the man I fell for" she growls at him.
"He mourned a love lost and then he moved on and started a family. The man you loved is gone and he isn't coming back" Klaus states before walking away leaving her alone and staring at his back.

Once in his room, Klaus walls shatter as his heart clenches and he sees her broken face in his mind over and over again. He accepted her death a long time ago and her being alive now, doesn't change anything between them.
