Klaus was laying on the red seat ad Stefan was sitting in a chair drinking wine. While Rebekah was trying in dresses. Natalie was finally able to seek Klaus out so she channeled him. He was able to see her.

"There has to be more to this dress." Rebekah says still in the dressing room.

"There's not." Klaus says annoyed

Both Rebekah comes out the dressing room.

"So women in the 21st century dress like prostitutes, then."

Natalie looks at Rebekah.

Klaus laughs at the her face. "Natalie is very offended by your comment."

"Except for Natalie. You know, I got dirty looks for wearing trousers." Rebekah tells them

"You wore trousers so women could wear nothing." Klaus answers

"And what is this music? It sound ms like a cable car accident." She asks with disgust

"It's dance music." Stefan tells her

She raises an eyebrow. "You dance to this."

"Mm-hmm."

"No. I listen to 90's and 2000's. Or some R&B or Hip hop." She tells Klaus.

"Are we done?" Klaus asks Rebekah

"And Why are you so grumpy?"

"I needed one thing from you for my witch to find out why my hybrids are dying, one thing. Your necklace. And you lost it. And my soulmate mother who's supposed to be helping us is a power greedy bitch."

"I didn't lose it. It's just been missing for 90 years. And we'll get her back. I can't wait to meet her." She turns to Stefan. "So what do you think?"

She does a little spin.

"I like it." Stefan says

She just looks at Stefan.

"What? I said I liked it."

"I can always tell when you're lying Stefan." She walks back into the dressing room.

"Nice one, good work." Klaus says sarcastically

"You're the one that pulled the dagger out of her." Stefan fires back

"I heard that." Rebekah says

Stefan sighs and starts to get up. "Alright. I'm going to get some fresh air."

Klaus doesn't answer him and pour some more champagne. Natalie goes and lay down and put her head on his stomach. She takes the champagne glass away from him as he finishes pouring it.

She drinks some and hands it back to him. "Stefan is hiding something. I don't know what but he's definitely hiding something."

Klaus starts to play with her hair. "You think so I haven't noticed I just thought it was him grieving over Elena."

Natalie hums as she gets sleepy from Klaus playing with her hair. "He may be "grieving" but he's hiding something."

Rebekah comes out with another outfit. "How about this?"

Natalie turns her head to face Rebekah. "Tell her no."

"Natalie says no."

Rebekah groans before walking back into the dressing room. She happy that Nik found his soulmate. Her smile turns into a sad one as she thinks about her soulmate.

She had already met him but had to run since Mikael was after them.

Rebekah goes to the rack and sees cute dresses. She takes it out and shows Nik knowing Natalie is looking.

"Natalie you should totally get these dresses."

Natalie looks at Rebekah and gets up grabbing the dresses from out her hand.

She goes into the dressing room and tries on the first dress.

She's walks out the dressing room and does a full turn. "Soo?"

"So Nik. How does it look?"

"Gorgeous."

She blushes. "Thank you."

She goes back into the dressing room and takes it off. She puts on another dress Rebekah picks out.

She walks out and does a spin. "How about this one?"

She turns to Klaus. "What do you think?"

"You look lovely."

She smiles before going back into the dressing room to put in the last dress.

"Okay last one."

She walks out and Klaus mouth drops.

Natalie turns to Klaus. She can see his eyes roaming her body. He gets up and takes her hand before spinning her slowly.

She laughs at his actions.

"Love you look ravishing."

She blushes hard. "Thank you."

"You know it makes Nik look weird. It's like he's talking to no one."

Klaus rolls his eyes. She quickly changed and Klaus paid for the outfits.

✨✨✨

Klaus Rebekah and Natalie were currently at Gloria bar. Rebekah was sitting in the bar countertop. While Natalie and Klaus were sitting on the stools. Harley was currently at a doggy daycare.

"You left us." Rebekah says

"Yeah, sorry. Retail therapy was making my head explode." Stefan tells her

"Tell me about it." Klaus says annoyed.

Natalie rolled her eyes. "Oh hush you know you loved it."

Stefan looks at Gloria work. "What's she doing?"

"She failing." Klaus says

"Please she only wants your mother necklace so she can have more power. I guess trying to take mine isn't enough."

"It's hard to find something when you don't have anything to go on" Gloria tells him

"So use me. I only wore it for a thousand years." Rebekah gets off the countertop and goes by Gloria.

"See now this one offers a solution. Alright, give me your hand, sweetheart." Rebekah places her hand in Gloria.

"I'm gonna see what they're seeing."

Klaus nods.

She goes and takes Gloria and Rebekah hand. She wanted to know what Gloria was going to find.

"She's uh she looking for the necklace huh?"

Natalie closes her eyes as Gloria silently chanted. She sees Caroline, Bonnie and Elena. Elena. So that's why he got nervous every time someone mentioned the necklace.

Now who gives their girlfriend their ex girlfriend necklace. Well I can't think that since he was compelled.

"I can sense something." Gloria begins to chant in Latin.

She drops Rebekah hands. She looks directly at Stefan. "I found it."

✨✨✨

"So where is it?" Rebekah asks her

"It doesn't work like that, doll. I get images. There's a girl with her friends—"

"Yes a dead girl with dead friends. If I don't get me necklace back." Rebekah says angrily

"Well I'll have to dive back in to get the details." Gloria says

Klaus gets up and walks towards Gloria. "So dive."

"I'll need more time and space. You're harshing my ju-ju." She says nervously

"We can't wait."

"I'm sure you can. But that's not what I asked." Gloria tells him

"Hey. Hey, you know why don't we just come back later. I'm hungry anyway. I'll let you pick what we eat." Stefan says and pats him on the back

They all leave the bar. "Klaus Elena is still alive. That's why Stefan's been so nervous. He didn't want you to know they found a way to save her."

Klaus closes his eyes in frustration. "Thank you love. I owe you a bunch of food and movie nights.

✨✨✨

Klaus and Stefan were drinking from there girls. Rebekah just finished hers. Natalie well she was turned away from them eating her food.

"My girl's dead. I'm bored."

Klaus detaches is fangs from the girl neck. "You weren't kidding about being hungry."

"Yeah. It's been a long day." Stefan says

He looks over at Rebekah. "Try being related to her."

Klaus drop the dead girl and groans when he feels a headache. "I thought you weren't gonna do that anymore."

She shakes her head. "Never said that."

"You're being mean. And why are you being mean? You used to love me."

"It's been 90 years Rebekah. Give him a minute." Klaus says

"Why are you taking his side?"

"Because dear sister, I feel pity for any man who doesn't give you want you want." Klaus tells her

"Will you stop making me out to be a brat? I am not a brat?" Rebekah says getting mad

"A thousand years of life experience says otherwise." Klaus says

Stefans chuckles. "Well, your no picnic, either. I mean I only spent one summer with you and I feel like I want to blow my head off. Then with you and Natalie continuously flirting."

Natalie throws a rock at Stefan head. "I have nothing to do with this."

Stefan feels it but has no idea where it ca from

Rebekahl laughs. "Fantastic."

Stefan pushes the dead girl off of him. "I need to go."

"Where's he going?" Rebekah asks

"To write a name on a wall. It's a long story." Klaus tells her

✨✨✨

Gloria is picking up dishes when she feels Stefan presence. "There you are."

Stefan come in and down the stairs. "Thought you were resting."

Gloria walks behind the bar. She grabs bottles rearranging them. "Now be both have a secret."

"What did you see?" Stefan asks walking up to the bar.

"It's not what I saw, it's what I heard that's interesting. You know, the girls with the necklace they were talking about you."

Stefan pours himself a drink. "Yet you didn't tell Klaus." He sets the bottle down. "Why?"

"Cause I wouldn't help that hybrid half breed with anything. The necklace is a talisman from the original with herself. I want it."

"Well, I'm sorry." Stefan gets up and starts to leave. "I can't help you."

"Don't be difficult. You know I'd hate to have to tell Klaus what a liar his sidekick is." Gloria walks from around the bar and starts wiping down a table.

Stefan stands there before speeding to Gloria. She turns her head and Stefan begins groaning, holding his head.

"I guess I gotta get it out of you the hard way, huh?" She says while continuing the spell.

•••

Stefan wakes up to find his self held down. "What is this? Why can't I move."

"Relax. It's just a little paralysis spell. Nothing major."

Stefan shouts and groan as Gloria cuts his arm. "Just got to get the information out of your pretty little head." She walks closer to Stefan and cuts his hand. "You know, witches now days, they're into that new age stuff, but... I'm a little more old school voodoo."

Natalie POV

Natalie was making her way back when she saw Katherine. She ran to her and pulled her arm. Katherine goes to slam the person but she doesn't see anyone.

Suddenly she feels pain in her head and is brought to her mind. She looks around confused when she sees Natalie.

She waves. "Hi Katherine."

"Natalie? What hell?"

"Look no time. I know what Stefan is hiding and that something is happening which has something to do with that power hungry witch. I need you to kill her. So I can wake up. Then I'll let Klaus know that you helped me and you won't be paranoid anymore."

Katherine becomes a little cautious. "Okay.."

Katherine is suddenly back on the streets where she was last standing.

•••

Gloria puts vervain in her hand. "I'm impressed. You've got discipline, Stefan. It's not going to do you much good, but..." She rubs her hands together and chuckles when she hears Stefan groans. "Just let go honey."

She places her hands on Stefan chest and he starts screaming.

"There we go. There we go." Suddenly flashbacks comes. "There's the girl with the necklace. You love her. You'd do anything for her. And you have. A lot of darkness, a lot of guilt. All to keep her away from Klaus. Why would he be interested in one girl?"

"Don't do this." He shakes his head. "Don't do this."

Gloria continues. "She's the doppelgänger. She's supposed to be dead, and that's why Klaus can't make hybrids, isn't it?" She starts laughing

"Well, this is creepy." Gloria turns around and Katherine stabs her in the neck. "Maybe you do need my help, after all."

✨✨✨

Stefan walks into the warehouse to see no one there. He walks towards a coffins. He goes to open it but stops once he hears Rebekah.

"You're back. Finally. Nik went to check on the witch and to get Natalie. Dreary, isn't it? The family cargo."

"Hmm. Why don't you undagger them?" Stefan asks

She scoffs. "Because he would hunt me down and kill me. He's a vindictive little bastard, my brother."

Stefan goes on to get more information. "But you still care about him. Why?"

"Well, I hated him for a long time. It was exhausting." She goes and sit on one of the coffins.

"You know when I met you two, you were both in the run." Stefan states

She sighs. "Also exhausting."

"Who were you running from?" Stefan asks

Rebekah gets nervous. "What do you mean?"

"Last night I saw you, there was a man looking for you. You both seemed afraid. I just— I wouldn't think Klaus would be afraid of anybody." Stefan says

"No one in this world is truly fearless, Stefan. Not even Niklaus." Rebekah replies

"Who was that man?" Stefan asks walking closer to her

Rebekah shakes her head. "I can't. Please. If Nik knew we were talking about this, he would—"

"No, no, no, I'm sorry. Just forget I asked. Okay?"

"He told me about the girl you loved. The one that died. He also told me that you're only with him because he saves your brother." Rebekah says

"It's true."

She hums. "I think he secretly admired that about you. He'd sacrifice anything for family. Don't tell him I told you that."

"Your secret... is safe with me."

He goes to walk away but Rebekah grabs his wrist bringing him back to her.

"Do you really think I'm dumb?"

"What are you talking about?" Stefan asks confused

"I can always tell when you're lying, Stefan."

"What? I'm not—"

"Don't bother." She tells him. She lets his wrist go

A door opens. Klaus walks in.

"Gloria and Natalie are gone. She cleared out we need to find a new witch immediately. Someone who can find Natalie. What's going on?"

"Somethings wrong. He was asking about Mikael. He's not with us, Nik. I can sense it." She tells him.

"She's wrong. Klaus..."

Klaus speeds to Stefan and snaps his neck.

Natalie wakes up only to bang her head. "Ouch! Son of a bitch." She sees that she's in a coffin. "That bitch. Using her magic the coffins flies open. She grimaced once she saw that the burns didn't even heal all the way.

She gets out the coffin and holds onto it as she hasn't used her legs in a day. She sighs. Her poor dog. That was the first thing she was going to do get her dog. Well after changing and seeing Nik.

She walks from out the back to see it spotless. Well looks like Katherine took care of the problem. She slowly walks out the building. She didn't feel like walking so she chose the shorter way.

She appears outside of the warehouse. She opens the door and walks in. She sees Stefan temporary dead on the ground and Klaus ordering people to get the things ready.

"Start putting the coffins in the truck and feed the dog as well."

She smiled he didn't forget about Harley. "We'll nice of you to take care of my dog in my absence. Greatly appreciate it."

Rebekah and Klaus turn around at the voice.

"Love?"

"It's me."

He speeds over to her and picks her up giving her a tight hug. "I'm not letting you out my sight no more."

She laughs. "That's not happening. I can take care of myself."

He pulls back and gives her a look. "Don't look at me like that! I didn't think she was still the same but I guess I was wrong. Oh I need to call Caroline and Bonnie."

"We're heading back to mystic falls so you can surprise them there."

He puts her down and she sees a blonde. "Oh you must be Rebekah."

"Yea it's finally good to put a name to the face. Your really pretty." Rebekah tells her

"Awww thanks. You're beautiful as well. We have to plan something when this is over." Natalie tells her while smiling.

Rebekah nods. "We should."

✨✨✨

Stefan is laying in the back of the truck unconscious. Klaus kicks his foot. Suddenly Stefan wakes up to see Klaus sitting there.

"Just give me a chance to explain myself, ok?"

"No need I'm not mad, I'm just curious. Rebekah seems to think you're holding onto something. A piece of your old life. Natalie only confirmed it to me back in Chicago. The thing is they both have flawless instincts; borderline supernatural. So I thought, I should check it out. See for myself what it is you've been hiding. But then Natalie told me something else."

He gets up and walks to the truck door and pushes it up. Showing Stefan mystic falls.

"Welcome back to mystic falls Stefan."
