5 centuries past as Dawn and Annabelle travelled across Europe in the hope of escaping Amber, they found themselves in England. They travelled the country attending balls, with Dawn in the hope of reuniting with their once close friends.

They'd settled in a small town where they lived in a large manor, they loved being classed as nobles. After a month they received an invitation to a ball, held by one of the neighbouring noblemen. They loved balls as they fed excessively on the attendees and were gifted by rich men who fell for their charms.

They entered that hall in amazement at the beauty of what the 15th century had offered; Annabelle fussed over her dressed as her sister linked arms with her.

"It's awful being forever 16, you're the lucky one at least you're classed as an adult" She whispered as Dawn laughed.

"You wanted this, my dear. And in many ways you have the advantage" Annabelle looked up to her in confusion "With your innocent face you get away with murder" She rolled her eyes as her sister laughed again. They made their way to the lounge area of the hall, Dawn wasn't her usual self and Annabelle noticed.

"Sister, I know why you are distressed. Do you wish to go home?" Dawn looked away from her; sometimes it was hard to mourn in private.

"I do not know what you mean, I'm perfectly fine" Annabelle rolled her eyes at her sister "I will get over this, and I'll be myself again"

She sighed at herself; Dawn had never been the same since losing contact with Kol. And that night was the anniversary of their departure from each other. She tried to comfort her sister.

"It has been 5 centuries; I hope they turn up soon. I cannot bear seeing you like this"

"It does not matter, he's probably moved on" Determined to change the topic she lifted up her sister to dance. Before they reached the dance floor a familiar voice stopped them in their tracks.

"The famous Hage beauties, I wondered when we'd meet you again" As they turned the cheeky grin of her old friends face came into view.

"Niklaus?" In disbelief she hugged him "So you knew we were here?" He nodded as she linked arms with him, he lead her towards the crowded corner.

"Sister…I have something for you" As Rebekah turned towards Klaus; she gave a wide smile and threw herself at her best friend.

"We thought you were dead?!" She stood back in realization of the attention they were getting and then hugged Annabelle. In the centre of the hall people began to form into a dance, classical music brought in the life. The three girls joined the dance with Niklaus, during the dance there were numerous changes of partners and before each change the new partner kissed the ladies hand. Time stopped as the forth partner kissed her hand, it was familiar. As he lifted his face her heart dropped. "Kol?"

He looked so different from the last time; all she wanted to do was leap into his arms. They continued to dance and before the next change they ran off. Leading her outside he couldn't contain himself any longer, before she could say another word he smacked his lips against hers and held her tight.

"I thought you were dead…" He gasped. She smiled and kissed him again

"Well I'm very much alive" He began to chuckle as he stared into her eyes, he'd missed looking into them so much. "I've been searching for you for so long" She held onto his hand as he looked away.

"I wish that I never stopped…I'm so sorry Dawn" She hushed him and kissed his cheek

"Do not fret over the past, I am here now" He smiled at her, stroking her face he realized something.

"Are you one of us?" She playfully giggled as she bit his lip and seductively looked up to his eyes

"Possibly…" He pulled her in close so that they were nose to nose; he then slanted his head and whispered

"Enough of this" He picked her up and placed her over his shoulders like he did so 500 years before "Now where do you live" She burst into giggles as he ran towards her home.


The hall began to empty and the Originals and Annabelle took their final meals for the night. Annabelle dropped the body, wiped her mouth and looked around the room, Dawn wasn't anywhere.

"Nik have you seen Dawn?" He shook his head as he continued to drain his victim. Rebekah walked into the room and smiled. It was nice having female company, living with her elder brothers made her feel isolated.

"Have you seen her Rebekah? I last saw her at that dance" Rebekah smirked as she realized where she was.

"She bumped into Kol…would you like to stay here the night?" Annabelle grimaced at the thought of what they were up to. She nodded at Rebekah who then led her to her room.


The Next Day-

Kol woke up with Dawn in his arms, as he pushed the strands of her hair behind her ears she stirred. He looked into her fascinating eyes as she opened them.

"Morning darling" She smiled at him and then buried her face into his chest. He pulled her arm out of the covers and linked their hands together.

"We best go back; Annabelle will be worried"

"I'm sure she can handle your absence a bit longer…" He gave a cheeky smile as he sat up

"What are you up to now?" Although she loved him she always knew he was going to do something, out of the ordinary. He rolled towards her and began to nibble at her neck, she giggled hysterically at his silliness. "Get off you" As he sat back up she jumped out of bed before he could do anything else silly.

"I'm hungry" Dawn rolled her eyes at him as she dressed herself

He got out of bed and looked out of the window. As Dawn finish getting dressed he walked towards her, he couldn't believe she was back, it was like a dream. He held her tight in his arms; he never wanted to lose her again
