A young woman is drinking a herbal tea with her dear friend in her home, she yawns and apologizes to her friend explaining that for the past week she has not been able to slumber peacefully.

"Why have you not been able to sleep? What troubles you?" "Oh, it is nothing Ayana…just a dream I cannot fathom."

"A dream?" Ayana ask curiously wanting to know more of this dream that has kept Esther awake.

"Yes. All I can really attest to seeing is this bright light." Esther tells her friend.

At the mention of this bright light, Ayana had laid her cup of tea back onto the table, stunned with what she was hearing.

"Esther? By any chance did you happen to see a woman come out of the light?" Ayana asks.

Esther looks at her friend in shock. "Y…yes….Ayana, you too have had this dream?" Ayana seems hesitant to answer. Ayana takes a deep breath and sets her hands together in her lap.

"It starts with a bright, white light…then I see a woman stepping out of the light. The flashes come next." Esther sits quietly listening to her friend describe the same dream that has been plaguing her mind as of late. "Blood. So much blood it feels as if I am choking on it. Humans same as you and I...with teeth like wolves and humans drinking blood with veins in their eyes…and other creatures, awful creatures that simply cannot exist."

Esther sits completely still and quiet, so quiet she can hear her heart beating in her chest and the blood rushing in her ears. "Tis impossible. Ayana how could we have had the same dream?"

Ayana stands from her chair and walks over to the window opening looking up into the sun. "I know not how Esther. I do know only one thing. Something big is coming."

Laughter is heard within the distance of a small cottage where the two women are speaking while drinking tea. The laughter coming from two small children playing near the river on a hot summer day.

Suddenly a bright, white light appears between two trees near where the children are playing. "Look." The younger of the two children said.

The children stopped to look at the bright light, both instantly mesmerized by it. As the bright light magnifies, the children are blinded and then surprised to see a woman appear out of the light.

As the bright light disappears, the children hear a woman yelling and running toward them followed by another woman.

"Freya! Finn! Get away from there!" Esther runs to her children and grabs each of their arms and pulls them behind her as Ayana reaches her side. Ayana slowly approaches the mystery woman who came out of the light.

"Who are you?" Ayana asks the woman who is bleeding and hobbling. The woman falls to the ground and gasps for air to reach her lungs.

Esther, meanwhile turns and bends down to be eye level with her children, four- year old Freya and three- year old Finn. "Freya take your brother and return home. Now!" However, Freya's eyes are transfixed on the mystery woman and she does not hear her mother. "Freya!' Esther shouts and snaps her finger in front of her daughter's face. "Go!" Freya then does as she is told and grabs her little brother's hand and runs back to the cottage.

Esther then walks to stand next to Ayana who is now crouched down next to the woman. "Who are you? We will not ask again?"

"I…I"

"Speak child." Ayana says reassuringly. "Octavia. My name is Octavia."

Klaus awoke on a bed in a room disoriented with no idea where he was or how long he had been there. After what seemed like an hour of him banging on the door and trying to bust his way out he got frustrated and tired and gave up.

"WHOMEVER YOU ARE I WANT YOU TO KNOW WHO I AM! I WILL TEAR YOU LIMB FROM LIMB!'' He rages and ranted pacing back and forth.

"You know no matter how loud you yell…they won't answer you." Klaus whips his head around to the voice and finds no on there.

"Who said that?" Klaus looks around and no on answers. "Come face me you coward!" He said through clenched teeth as he again looked around the room.

"Hey! I'm no coward!" Suddenly, out of thin air a little girl no older than ten appeared next to the bed. Klaus again whipped his head around to face the child. He looked in complete shock, unable to move.

"You aren't the calmest of men…did you know that?" the little girl asks Klaus as she sits on the bed.

Slowly coming out of his shock, Klaus slowly walks toward the young girl. The girl stares at Klaus, just as he is staring at her. "Who are you?" Klaus cautiously ask the little girl, not wanting to frighten her. She doesn't answer him, however, he notices a curious look in her eyes.

"Who are you? Where am I? How long have I been here?" Klaus again asks her. "You also ask too many questions." She answers back as she sits crossed leg on the bed.

"Eretria. In a room. Four hours and counting." She states calmly to Klaus who looks unamused.

"What? You asked me questions and I simply answered them. Don't get upset if you don't like the answers." Eretria says as she shrugs her shoulders.

Eretria suddenly stands up off the bed, "Someone's coming."

As Klaus opens his mouth armed with another questions footsteps are heard outside the door…

Octavia traveled far, far back to the past and Klaus has meet the intuitive Eretria.

Eretria (pronounced Air-a-tray-a)
