"Rose?" Damon asked after looking at the women in the cage.
"I was dead! I died Damon, in your arms, why am I here?" She asked freaking out. "I thought I was in hell, but you are here, so why am I?"
"Let's get you out of here, we can talk later." She nodded and Damon got her out of the cage.
"Rebekah!" She gasps. "Damon why are you with one of the originals? They tried to kill you and your friends many times."
"A lot has happened. I need to get us out of here. We will talk more when we are away from here." He told her and she nodded. She had hated being in that place so she needed to be gone from it, so she followed the group quietly. They heard all the other vampires yelling for them but they didn't stop.
"Damon, Trevor is here too. We can't leave him."
"Rose, I don't know Trevor, I don't know that he will be on our side." He tells her back.
"Please. He has been my only constant since I was changed, way before I met Katherine or you. Please I need you to get him out too. "
"Are you talking about Trevor Ashworth?" Rebekah asked suddenly.
"Yes." Rose told her confidently.
"We will retrieve him. He was the reason we kept Klaus in check for 600 years." She told the group. She found him easily and opened the cage that held him. "Now we need to get out of here. Before the head of this organization gets back."
The group easily escapes, Enzo following quietly with his compulsion keeping him in check. They move quickly until they are back at the bar they had been at before.
"Will you explain what is going on now?" Rose asked as they all sit down at a big table.
"Do you remember Elena's friend Bonnie, the witch?" He asks back.
"Yes, a Bennett witch."
"She has more than powerful Bennett blood flowing through her and she cast a spell when she was stuck in a prison world after becoming the anchor to the supernatural world. She had a soul mate and a blood bond with that person and she ended up back in 2009, not our world of 2012. I don't know how you have all your memories, but not many people have had memories since we came back."
"So time spells are possible?"
"Not for just anyone, she had two extremely powerful witches on the other side helping her. It's all very complicated, but she and I are soul mates and are also expecting."
"Expecting? Expecting Katherine and Klaus?"
"No expecting twins. With all the right conditions, I got her pregnant and the babies are going to be the saving grace of the supernatural world."
"That's a lot to take in, but I believe you."
He takes her and both her and Trevor thank the group.
"A lot of supernatural beings are going to be after our babies, so we need help."
"Anything for you guys. It was torture there. I remember dying and then I woke up one day and I was in that place. They did so many different experiments on us, they wanted to see how we would react to different stimuli and what we would be able to grow back. So many vampires were killed in that lab in the two months we were there." She tells him.
"I know. I was in there in the 50s. That's how I knew about the place and how I met Enzo, he was the one that helped me escape and I had to turn off my humanity to get out of there."
"Well we are out now, but we need to put an end to that place, so no more vampires die at the hands of those awful people."
"I agree." Rebekah finally chimed in. "But it will be best to wait until we have all hands-on deck. After the twins, we will be better prepared and have more people helping us, including Bonnie." The group nods.
Stefan had been quiet since they had gotten back. Watching the group and examining Caroline and how well she was controlling herself when he even wanted to lose control in the room full of fresh blood.
"Are you okay little brother?" Damon asked once everyone else was in full conversation again.
"I don't understand how I taught her to be so in control when I'm not even in that much control."
"You lost it when you were in danger and Elena allowed you to drink from her. After we got you controlled again, she started giving you a little blood every day to build up your control. Later we started doing the same with vervain. It was a bitch, but we could control ourselves when the originals tried to control us. It might be something we all need to try to get our strength up. Lexi has always been your go to when it came to control so maybe she and Elena should both help you with the blood daily." He told his little brother. He wanted to help him as much as possible and this was one way to start.
"I will try it, but you may have to lock me up."
"I will if I need to. Just like I know you would do the same if it ever needed to happen. We are family, as much as we hate to believe it, we are."
"I'm beginning to see the changes and I will help you in any way that you need." His brother nodded at him and for the first time he believed he was on the right track to getting his hero-hair wearing brother back.
After a couple of drinks the gang headed back to the boarding house. Zack was off on a trip so they decided they could lock Enzo up for when they finally uncompelled him. Once he was behind the bars, Rebekah let his compulsion down and he saw Damon standing in front of him.
"Well look at the back stabber." He sneered at him.
"Enzo I know you are angry but I got you out."
"Yeah years later, you let me rot in there."
"I know. I did what I believed was going to save me at the time. I turned off my humanity so I could survive, and I left you to die."
"But I didn't die."
"No they kept you locked up and experimented on."
"Why come back now?"
"Because I found out you weren't dead. I believed this whole time that you died in the fire."
"How did you know I wasn't dead? How did you know how to get to me?"
"Because I found you over a year ago and we got you out. But my soul mate did a spell that made us go back a few years and I wanted to get you out. So I waited until I had enough help and we got you."
"Why don't I remember escaping this time?"
"An original vampire compelled you to be calm and follow us without restraint. We needed to get out without any problems, it was our best chance of not getting you caught."
"So mate, you messed with me too."
"Just to get you out. We aren't keeping you locked in here long. Just until we can get you a new daylight ring made, so you can't hurt people. But you are an extremely strong vampire and we know that in the end you can be some help to us."
"What help?"
"Oh just protecting babies that are half vampire-half witch and supposed to bring together the supernatural world." He laughed at Damon's words but stopped once he realized he wasn't joking.
"Oh shit, what did you get me involved in?"
"The supernatural world. I'll be back tomorrow with a daylight ring." He tells him as he walks away leaving his friend in another cage, but knowing this time he will be back.
"What the hell are you talking about?" Elena practically screams at her friend.
"I cast a spell in a prison world in 2012 and I landed here the day Damon called looking for me."
"That doesn't make sense."
"I know. Even my grams thought I was crazy, but I'm not. I knew you were going to meet Stefan on the first day of school and I knew you were going to fall for him."
"There is no way you could know that."
"Yes there is. I knew because I lived it before. I lived the last three years of my life in danger and fighting for my life, our lives."
"How is it possible?"
"Powerful witches helped me come back from the prison world and wanted to give me and Damon a second chance. They allowed us the miracle of the twins too. Vampires don't procreate."
"So Stefan is the one for me?" She asks after a moment of thinking.
"I don't know. You left him for Damon in the past."
"So you are dating my ex, you are having kids with my ex?"
"Yes. We are soul mates and we didn't find it out until we were stuck together."
"Did you wait until we had broken up to come on to my man?" Elena asked suddenly angry at her best friend because of the new information.
"No. We believed we would never get back to you guys. It happened naturally and we never meant for it to happen." She answered honestly. "And from what I heard you had someone talk away your memories of him and didn't fight for him."
"He was still mine." She screamed and Bonnie backed away.
"He was never who you loved. He took you from Stefan and you wanted him to be the hotter Stefan, to be a better hero than Stefan. You had someone who loved you unconditionally and went for something hotter and expected him to be the better choice."
"So you are saying he isn't the better choice of the brothers?" She smirked a little.
"I am saying you wanted him to be something he wasn't for you. For me he will always be the first choice. He will always be the man I love. He needed you to learn what he wanted and now he has that."
"Bonnie?" She hears and turns to sees Stefan, Caroline, and Damon standing there.
"I'm sorry." She whispers as she sees that the fire in the fire place is dangerously high from all her anger towards her friend.
"Just calm down." He hugs her close. "She doesn't remember, you cant be angry at her for her future self."
"Wow, you must really love her, from what I hear, we were pretty in love ourselves." Elena sneers from the other side of the room.
"We were, but she was right. You wanted me to be Stefan and I'm not my brother. As soon as I was gone, you stopped fighting for me, when your best friend was the only one fighting to get us back. You had your memories erased of me and moved on with your life, so I did too. I found out how amazing Bonnie was and is. I don't see how I ever thought I was in love with you when Bonnie has been standing here this whole time."
"Because I am amazing too." She screams at him. "Why did you choose her over me. I don't remember us but I believe we could be amazing." Stefan stood there shocked at what his girlfriend was saying. She wanted his brother, she wanted his brother and not him.
"Elena, I think we should go." Caroline gently pulls her out of the room, seeing both brothers seething in anger at the girl both once loved.
"I'm sorry you had to find all of this out like that." Damon told his brother. "I wasn't always good; I did steal Elena from you and felt no remorse."
"But not this time. You didn't do anything to even hit on her." His brother said quietly.
"This was all my fault. I shouldn't have told her about the time traveling."
"She needed to know. Maybe she will calm down by tomorrow and we can all talk." They nod and stand in silence before Caroline comes rushing in.
"I think we have a problem, I don't think that was Elena."
