The Mikaelson family was finally reunited and undaggered. Klaus was not present which was unfortunate at least according to Kol and Finn though Elijah could not blame them. Since learning the truth about their mother's death all of them had been a little bit angry but it seemed their sister was taking everything in stride which confused Elijah if he was being honest then again she had been the only one besides him to never want to leave Niklaus.

"Is there a reason sister that you are not trying to kill Klaus?" Elijah asked finished the blood bag.

"Oh there is and it's going to be shocking to even you Elijah," Rebekah said arms crossed and a smirk on her face, a smirk that usually was on Klaus's face.

"Don't tell me Klaus fell in love especially since the bugger has been pestering all of us not to do that," Kol said and Rebekah had to stop and admire her older brother because he looked like Klaus in many ways though you could still see Elijah in him as well.

"He did with a very interesting girl that I quite like. She's feisty and she doesn't bow before Nik like he's a saint," Rebekah said remembering the fight the two of them had about his daggered siblings.

"Klaus just because I like you doesn't mean I'm going to agree with you. Rebekah has a right to be pissed at you. You daggered her for ninety years and you have the rest of your siblings daggered as well so of course she's pissed and I believe she has a right to be. That doesn't mean I'm not on your side," Rose yelled hands on her hips.

"Then what does it mean Rose?" Klaus yelled back angry.

"It means you are going to give your sister and I the credit card so we can go shopping. If you don't I'm not going to kiss you again," Rose said holding out her hand.

Rebekah couldn't believe what she saw in her brother's eyes in that moment. Klaus was in love with the girl and she watched as he handed over the card instead of getting angry. The girl didn't bow before him or agree with him on everything but she still made it clear she was on his side. Rebekah hated that Nik's attention wasn't on her all the time anymore but after watching Rose Fell argue with her brother, she decided she wouldn't mind sharing the attention with her.

Rebekah rolled her eyes as Kol started talking about finding the girl and using her but Rose couldn't be compelled and she wasn't about to tell her brother where the girl was. Only Klaus and her knew and they weren't telling anybody anytime soon. Elijah on the other hand looked like he was thinking but not in the same way that Kol was which Rebekah was relieved about because her older brother lived up to the name he made for himself as noble though he could

be even more deadly than Klaus if given the chance. She just hoped that they didn't go too crazy now that they were out of the coffins because they had to stop Mikael no matter what.

Rose got off the bus expecting to find her mother waiting for her but instead saw Katherine Pierce and growled in annoyance. She tried to start walking away without even stopping to see her but the other girl was a vampire and instead flashed in front of her. Instead of seeing the usual smirk on her face Rose saw that she looked scared.

"What do you want?" Rose asked crossing her arms as she carried her bag.

"For you to hear me out," Katherine said needing her to know this information.

"You kidnapped me twice and you want me to listen," Rose said but then saw the look on her face, "Fine but make it quick."

"I took you the first time because I wanted you as leverage for Klaus to release me but he didn't know you and instead I was running once again. The second time was because I thought that if I had you that would be a good bargain but that didn't work too well. My point is that I just want my freedom Rose. You are one of the most special beings on this planet and all I want is to finally stop running after five hundred years. I was a scared girl and because I feared for my life I ran and paid dearly for it," Katherine explained.

"Look I'll see what I can do but I can't promise anything. I'm not going to force Klaus to do anything but I get what you are saying. So just wait a few days and then come see me," Rose said wondering about what she meant by special but not wanting to deal with it at the moment.

Katherine narrowed her eyes as she watched the girl walk around her to sit on a bench. She wondered why the girl didn't demand answers about what she was but Katherine hadn't survived running for five hundred years by kicking a gift in the mouth. She was only a manipulative bitch because she needed to be to survive and Rose was willing to talk to Klaus which is further than even she had gotten. She strutted away as a plan formed in her head just in case Klaus didn't grant her freedom. That was the one rule about survival, always have at least three backup plans and after all she was Katherine Pierce.

Meredith drove to the bus station nervously as she thought about the man waiting in her house to meet his daughter. It wasn't every day that you found out the man you loved lied to protect you and you discover your daughter is a powerful Guardian. Rose's eyes always reminded her of James mainly because of the eyes. James had blue-green eyes while her own were dark brown. Rose's eyes were a hazel-green more like James's eyes and while her facial features were mostly a copy of Meredith's own she still had enough of James in her to remind her of him

every day. She loved her little girl but she didn't know how she was going to explain the situation and could only hope that Rose listened for once in her life instead of being the rebel she was. Little did she know how much her daughter's life was going to change.
