A/N: There's a new OC that I created in this chapter! Watch out for him because he will be making more appearances in "Revenge & Power" later on, too!

It had been nearly an hour since Kol had started walking someplace with Silas and Violet, yet he still had no clue where they were leading him. Whenever he asked them where they were going or who they were planning on resurrecting, he got cryptic replies from Silas and vague non-answers from Violet. As they walked, Violet occasionally pulled out her cell phone and texted someone. When Kol asked her who she was texting, she told him that she was texting a friend of hers. By the time they reached WickeryBridge, Kol was so frustrated with Violet and Silas that he didn't even notice that there was a dark-haired man leaning against one of the bridge's supports until they were a few feet away from the man. The man smiled when he saw Violet.

"Hello, Violet," he said. Violet smiled back at the man and hugged him.

"Ryan," she said as the man named Ryan hugged her back. Kol noticed that the man had tattoos on both of his arms, starting from the backs of his hands. The Original was just about to ask Violet who the man was before she released the man and beat him to it.

"Kol, Silas, this is my friend Kendrick Ryan. He's one of the Five. Ryan, this is Kol Mikaelson and…Silas," Violet said. She hesitated before saying Silas's name. Ryan reluctantly shook hands with Kol but hesitated for a second or two before shaking Silas's hand.

"So you're Silas, huh?" Ryan said to Silas. Kol couldn't believe how stupid this Ryan boy was. Violet had already introduced Silas as Silas, so there was no one else that Silas could be except the oldest immortal being on Earth.

"Yes," Silas said.

"Then is this your true face?" Ryan asked. Silas smiled a little but didn't reply. Kol thought that he probably wanted to remain as mysterious as possible just so that he could continue tormenting everyone in MysticFalls. Kol suddenly envied Klaus for a while because he was still in New Orleans, far, far away from all the mayhem and drama that was continuing to unfold in MysticFalls despite the loss of MysticFalls' resident drama queen Caroline Forbes and her equally as irritating friends Elena Gilbert and Bonnie Bennett. Silas turned around so that he could look out at the ocean.

"It's not," Violet told Ryan. The hunter was clearly surprised and asked,

"How would you know?"

"Because I just…know," Violet replied. Kol and Ryan both noticed that she had evaded the question but Ryan didn't say anything more about the topic because Silas suddenly interrupted the conversation that they Violet and Ryan were having.

"While you two were busy talking about me, I actually did some magic and brought back two of our old friends," Silas said nonchalantly as he turned around to face the witch, hunter and Original. Out of the corner of his eye, Kol could see two figures approaching from the end of the bridge. Kol saw who they were but couldn't believe his eyes.

"No," he said softly under his breath. Silas either heard him but chose to ignore him or he didn't hear him at all. The two figures smiled when they were a few feet away from Silas, Kol, Violet and Ryan. Kol saw Violet smile at the two men who stood in front of them.

"Vaughn, Connor…it's good to have you two back among the living," Violet said.

"Glad to be back, Vi," Connor said.
