Kol's PoV
I woke around one and watched Elena sleep. I couldn't believe that I finally had her back and this time I wasn't letting her go. About five minutes later Elena stirred.
"It's rude to stare you know" Elena said.
"Well I apologize for trying to memorize the most beautiful thing I have ever seen" I said looking in her eyes.
"Just as much as a flirt as ever" Elena said.
"Only for you darling" I said.
"I don't want to go to the Salvatore's today" Elena said groaning.
"We will all be there for you" I said trying to get her to relax.
"I'm just worried about how things will play out" Elena said.
"Darling they will be up against five originals, not much of a fight" I said.
"I know but most of these guys have been my friends for the last fifteen years" Elena said.
"I know, but now you have you best friend and family of over a thousand years back" I said.
"True I just love these guys" Elena said.
"I know you do and if they love you too the will except you for who you are" I said and Elena kissed me I response.
Caroline's PoV
I arrived at the Salvatore boarding house around three thirty to make sure everyone was ready for what was to be a stressful day. I walked through the doors and heard people in the living room.
"Morning" I said walking in to the room.
"Morning Caroline" Stefan said.
"Now what are you all arguing about now?" I asked.
"Which of the originals compelled Elena into believing their lies" Stefan said.
"I think Kol did" Tyler said
"I vote Rebekah" Jeremy said
"Elijah" Matt said
"None of them" Bonnie mumbled
"I honestly don't think any of them did" I said.
"What do you mean Blondie?" Damon asked
"Well for starters Bonnie seemed wanted to know about spells she performed" I said
"I remember that she seemed really confused" Stefan said
"That's what I've been trying to say" Bonnie said
"I don't want to believe them, but if this is truly Elena then I will learn" I said.
"Why would you so quickly agree to their lies?" Damon asked just as the door opened and five people walked in.
Rebekah's PoV
"Maybe because we aren't lying" I said walking through the front door of the Salvatore boarding house.
"Right and I am the good Salvatore brother" Damon said.
"Well you might want to get started on that then" Elena said walking up behind me.
"Wait let's just start from the beginning" Caroline said just as my brothers walked in.
"Alright what do you want to know that I haven't told you last night?" Elena asked.
"Well let's start from last night" Caroline suggested.
"Okay well then Elena why don't you recap what we already covered" I said.
"Hello my name is Elena Katerina Mikealson, nee Petrova. I was born on what would become June 22nd, in the year of 980 A.D. I had an older sister named Tatia whose blood was used to perform the original spell turning us into vampires. I married Kol Mikealson in 993 A.D. at the age of thirteen." Elena said
"If all this is true I don't get how you grew up with us" Caroline stated.
"Kol had a tendency to use witches to perform a task and then then kill them" Elena said.
"In the year 1502 I was using this witch to create the perfect gift for Elena for our upcoming 509th wedding anniversary, and the witch caught on and decided to punish me by talking Elena away from me before I could kill her" Kol said
"So one day a coven of witches showed up at my doorstep and cast a spell that in a sense killed me but also made it possible for me to come back" Elena said.
"So in 1992 were you were born?" Damon asked
"The spirits had finally decided that I could finally return to this life but instead of returning as I left I had to regrow up and live a human life again" Elena said.
"That failed" Matt said
"No the human life was only temporary, I know that I would once again become a vampire and would be reunited with my family" Elena said.
"What about you not wanting to become a vampire?" Jeremy asked
"The spirits final attempt to change my fate and live a normal life" Elena said.
"When you told me to save Matt before you on the bridge?" Stefan asked.
"I was given the option to remain human and let Matt die there or return as a vampire again and live the life I was originally given" Elena said pacing around the room.
"You gave up your human life for mine?" Matt asked and Elena nodded.
"I did and would have gladly done it for any of you" Elena said.
"Did anyone know the truth about this?" Jeremy asked.
"No I didn't even know until Rebekah showed up in town" Elena said
"What do you mean by that?" Bonnie asked.
"When Rebekah came to town I started getting flashes of my old life and I started to realize that my human life wasn't meant to be" Elena said.
"Darling relax" Kol said speeding over to stand by her side.
"I don't know how much more of this I can handle" Elena said leaning into him.
"I think we just about have it covered, now Rebekah can finish the story" Kol said pulling Elena to sit on an empty chair with him.
"So what's your side of the story then?" Damon asked looking at me.
"It's not really a side, just filling the gaps that neither Elena nor my brothers can tell you" I said.
"How did you know who Elena was?" Matt asked.
"I wasn't completely sure when I first came to town, but hearing that she was a doppelganger of Tatia was a clue" I said.
"Then what, you made it clear that you hated her" Stefan said.
"Because I needed to prove that she was the one I was looking for and you wouldn't believe how easy it is to get to know a person while hating them" I said.
"When did you know that Elena was your sister in law?" Jeremy asked.
"When it became clear that even though she looks just like Tatia she was nothing like her" I said.
"So why wait?" Tyler asked.
"I needed to wait for the spirits to tell me I could act, if I acted to early I could have lost Elena forever" I said.
"How did the spirits communicate with you, you aren't even a witch?" Bonnie asked
"The ring that Elena is now wearing, was like a communication device" I said.
"So why is Elena now wearing it if it was yours?" Tyler asked.
"It never was mine, and Elena is wearing it because it is her wedding/daylight ring" I said.
"Did you ever really love me?" Stefan asked looking directly at Elena.
"The human me did, but the true me has always and forever will only love Kol" Elena said truthfully.
"I hope that this has helped you understand who I really am, and that I never meant to hurt or lie to you" Elena said.
"It's a lot to process" Matt said.
"If you need time I understand" Elena said.
"Time would be good" Tyler said.
"Alright you know where to find me when you have processed this" Elena said speeding out of the room with Kol on her heals. Soon after Elijah and Nik speed out too.
"Just one thing you need to know" I said standing up.
"What would that be?" Jeremy asked.
"If you decide to not to except Elena you will lose her forever" I said and speed out behind them. I ran to Nik's house and found Elijah and Nik looking around.
"Let me guess they're not here" I said sarcastically.
"No they are not" Nik said not getting my sarcasm. I speed out looking for my siblings. A few minutes later I found them by the falls, since it was their favorite place when we were human.
"Surprise surprise" I said walking up behind them.
"How did I know you would be the only one to find us here?" Elena asked.
"Henrik and I were the only ones who knew you liked to hide here" I said.
"It was the place I used to hide from Tatia" Elena said.
"And two days before our wedding you showed me this place" Kol said.
"You were the only one I personally showed this place" Elena said.
"Henrik and I followed you one day after you fought with father" I said.
"Yes Mikael said I wasn't worthy of his son and I tried to defend myself, then he compared me to Tatia and said I was playing Kol, like she was with Elijah and Niklaus" Elena said.
"Then you ran off and tried to drown yourself" I said.
"If Henrik and I never followed you would have never lived to see your wedding" Rebekah said.
"And we would have never had our three little miracles" Kol said.
"I was ever thankful to you guys" Elena said.
"I believe it was even Finn was the one who convinced you to stand up to our father and show him how much you loved me" Kol said.
"And because of him I had the courage to stand up to Mikael and earn my place as your wife" Elena said.
"Enough of the bad memories, we just got you back" Rebekah said.
"I don't want to focus on the down sides of our past" Elena said.
"We need to get ready for school tomorrow" Rebekah said.
"Really, you're honestly worried about school?" Elena asked astonished.
"Yes, we need to update your look" I said.
"What's wrong with my style?" Elena asked.
"You really want to continue being Elena Gilbert?" I asked.
"Well it's not like I know what Elena Mikealson would dress like in 2010" Elena said.
"Well that's what we're going to find out" I said.
"Why not, I can't be something I'm not anymore" Elena said smiling.
"Alright girls shopping night it is" I said turning around and running towards my house.
Elena's PoV
"Well it looks like my night is planned" I said
"Keep in touch and let me know how it goes" Kol said.
"I'm sure Bex won't let me tell you anything until we get home" I said.
"Most likely but you can try" Kol said.
"I'll see you tonight with enough clothes to last the decade" I said.
"That you will, love you darling" Kol said and kissed me.
"Love you too" I said running off towards Rebekah's house.
