"Hello," a sweet voice from behind her greeted. Bonnie turned and came face to face with the Original vampire, Rebekah. Bonnie was at a complete loss for words, this Rebekah seemed so…normal…so…human. "Are you Bonnie?" she asked kindly.

"Uh… yes," was all Bonnie could manage to say.

"Tamara is looking for you. She said you had wondered off," she said with a friendly smile upon her face.

Bonnie's ears pricked up at the mention of Tamara's name. She was here too?

"Come on, I'll take you back to her home," she offered and took a hold of Bonnie's hand and lead her through the village. Bonnie was expecting to feel the usual feeling of death once Rebekah touched her hand, but she didn't. She felt nothing and she noticed that Rebekah seemed so different from the Rebekah of now, so much sweeter, kinder.

Could this be what her 'mission' is about, the Original family? Was she supposed to stop them from turning into vampires?

"Here we are," Rebekah announced stopping out the front of one of the wooden houses.

"Oh, Bonnie, I was beginning to worry," Tamara said coming out of her home. "Thank you for finding her, Rebekah." She thanked the Original sister before leading the younger witch inside.

"So this is what it's about?" Bonnie questioned Tamara when they were alone "the Original family?"

Tamara nodded, "Like I said earlier I cannot tell you much. You need to learn it for yourself and once you do then you can return home,"

"They are human aren't they?" Bonnie asked and Tamara shook her head. "Am I supposed to stop them from turning or something?"

"Absolutely not, you cannot try to change history, Bonnie, it can cause severe consequences for the future," Tamara gravely warned the young witch.

"How did she even know who I was?"

"As far as everyone here is concerned you are the daughter of a very close friend of mine who died in a tragic accident and I have taken you in," she explained to Bonnie. "Oh, and be careful of how you speak and act, rules are different around here and I wouldn't want you to get into any trouble," she added.

"This is all so overwhelming," Bonnie muttered and placed a hand on her forehead trying to calm herself down. She felt as though she could pass out at any moment.

"I know and I'm sorry this has all happened so suddenly. You've barely had any time to adjust," Tamara sympathised with the younger girl. "There is also no harm in getting to know the Original family; Rebekah really is a lovely girl."

"Speaking of family won't mine be worried that I have just mysteriously disappeared?"

"You needn't worry about that, Bonnie; we have taken care of it."

"We, who is we?" Bonnie questioned the older witch.

"Those are matters that you shouldn't worry yourself with. Just know that we have taken care of it and everything is fine," she reassured Bonnie, who wasn't entirely convinced but there wasn't much she could do when she was currently one thousand years in the past.

"What am I supposed to do now?"

"Well whatever it is it cannot be done in here. Go outside look around but don't wonder too far because the neighbouring village is the home of the werewolves," she replied to Bonnie while practically pushing her out the door.

Pushy woman, Bonnie thought to herself. She let out a sigh she looked around at her surroundings. The young witch had no idea where to start and all she wanted to do was go home and curl up in the comfort of her own bed. She looked around more and noticed Rebekah standing by a large tree which seemed to be right in the centre of the village and headed tentatively towards the other girl but stopped short when another figure approached Rebekah. Bonnie could not see his face but there was something familiar about him.

Rebekah and the unknown man shared a few words before the young blonde caught sight of Bonnie and called out to her, "Bonnie!"

The man beside Rebekah turned around to see who his sister had greeted and the witch's blood immediately went cold, the man was Klaus. He looked relatively the same, but his hair was longer and he too seemed different. He didn't have the same look in his eye as the present day Klaus had.

"Hi Rebekah," Bonnie greeted as nicely as possible, trying to push away her fear of the soon to be vampire and hybrid in front of her.

"This is one of my brothers, Niklaus," she introduced, "Niklaus, this is who Tamara has been speaking about."

"It is nice to finally meet you, Bonnie," Klaus, or right now, Niklaus, said and sent a friendly smile to the young witch.

Bonnie found his smile to be infectious and couldn't help but smile back, "it's nice to meet you too."

"If you'll both excuse me, I must go find Elijah," Klaus excused himself from the girls, sending Bonnie another contagious smile before walking off and leaving Bonnie alone with Rebekah.

"I'm sorry to hear about your family," Rebekah spoke after a few moment of silence passed. Bonnie turned to the other girl and sent her a small but friendly smile; she really didn't know what say. "It must be difficult for you, having to leave your home after such a loss."

"It has been," she replied.

"What were they like?" Rebekah asked and the two girls started to walk.

"My father is…was very kind and loving and my mother…not so much," she answered truthfully. Although she didn't know too much about her mother (her father refused to speak of her), she obviously wasn't too loving or she wouldn't have left her and her dad all those years ago…or will leave in a thousand years' time. This time travel thing was already doing her head in.

"You were not close to your mother?" she asked with a hint of disbelief in her tone. Bonnie faintly remembered what Elena told her about Rebekah's past and how devastated she was by her mother's death. Bonnie shook her head no.

"Are you close with your family?" Bonnie asked trying to turn to attention away from herself.

Rebekah nodded her head and smiled, "I love my mother dearly and I'm very close to my brothers, Niklaus most of all."

Bonnie was curious to know why she had not mentioned her father but she chose not to push the topic.

They spent the next half hour talking and Bonnie was surprised to find how easy it was to talk to Rebekah and she nearly forgot everything that was currently happening.

"There is my brother, Elijah," she pointed out to Bonnie. The witch followed her gaze and saw Elijah walking towards them and took in his appearance. Like Niklaus, he had longer hair too. She had only met Elijah a few times back in her own time but he seemed different from all other vampires she had met. He had class and was very sophisticated and he showed her respect. There were a few situations where she would catch him gazing at her with an expression that she was not able to read all the time, but there was one time that she could. He looked at her like he knew her. Had this already happened? Had she already gone back in the past? Was time some sort of eternal loop? The witch had never given this much thought before, but now that she was, she could feel a mean head ache brewing.

This was doing her head in and the worse thing was that there probably wasn't any aspirin here.

And after a long, long time, here is chapter two! I apologise for the very late (and very boring) update but this story has been confusing me with all this time stuff lol and I'm trying to come up with a way to explain it where it will make sense and that will take place next chapter. Anyway I want to ask you guys what you would prefer because this story will not be a very long one but there will be a sequel. The first part is set in the past and the second set in present time so I want to ask you guys whether you want shorter (around 1000 – 2000 words) and that will give you more chapters or my usual 3000-4000 words which will give you less chapters? Or I could just combine them? So let me know! Anyway, thanks so much for all the reviews, I really was not expecting that much! The next chapter will be less boring! Please review! Also, I have absolutely no idea of the culture or language back then so I'm just going to keep it sort of formal.
