Lizzie couldn't keep the laugh in. And Kol smirked deviously.

"I can't believe that actually worked," Lizzie said, voice low. After all, there were three other vampires in the hotel suite. "I'm a genius."

Kol snorted. "I wouldn't go that far, little witch."

Lizzie was about to say something when the door to the room Enzo had taken opened. Enzo's hair was tousled from sleep and he looked at her confused.

"Were you talking to someone, angel?" He asked, looking adorable.

Kol narrowed his eyes in annoyance at Enzo, who did not notice.

Was she the only one that could see him?

It would make sense, seeing as she was wearing the bracelet.

But it would make things much more difficult because she wouldn't be able to talk to him without looking crazy. Then again...

Lizzie focused on Enzo and didn't spare Kol a glance. "Yeah, I was just making a quick call."

Enzo nodded, accepting the answer.

Thank god, he doesn't understand phone calls or technology that well or he would have realized that she didn't have her phone in her hand and that she was lying.

When Enzo went off to the kitchen, Lizzie waved her hand, calling her phone from the bedroom. Kol was watching her curiously.

"What are we doing for food, angel?" Enzo asked, looking in the fridge.

"Um, I was thinking we could meet up with Marcel and have breakfast with him," Lizzie replied, putting her phone in her pocket.

She walked over and took a seat at the island. Lizzie tensed when she felt Kol come up beside her.

Please tell her, he wasn't going to be a brat and cause problems.

Who was she kidding? That was exactly what he was going to do.

Enzo placed a glass of blood in front of her and she nodded her thanks. Then he started messing with his new phone as he drank his own glass.

Hopefully, he didn't break this one as well.

He had only been with them for a short time and had somehow broken 6 phones.

How? She had no idea. But if she had to compel him a new phone again, she was going to go on a murder spree.

Lizzie pulled out her phone as well and sent a text to Marcel.

She asked if he was up to meet for breakfast.

Kol was glancing between Enzo and her as if he was trying to solve a complicated puzzle.

Was he confused by the phones? Or their social skills?

Because those were sorely lacking.

Sorry Kol, but this was the age of 'we only talk to people through phones'.

By that, she meant texting.

Eh, he'll learn eventually.

Finally, he shook his head and focused back on her.

"Who's the rip-off Original vampire, darling?" Kol asked, leaning against the island. Lizzie snorted but managed to cover it with a cough.

Enzo looked up confused.

"Are you okay, angel?" He asked, concerned.

Lizzie nodded, rapidly. "Mm-hmm."

Enzo observed her for a moment before turning back to his phone.

"Angel?" Kol asked, looking her over. "I don't see it."

She shot him an offended look, about to lay into him.

Then, she froze. That was what he wanted.

He wanted her to acknowledge him. She narrowed her eyes and pointedly turned away from him.

Lizzie put her glass to her lips so she wouldn't respond to whatever he did next.

She could do this.

How hard could it be for her to ignore him?

All she had to do is ignore anything that came from his mouth.

Not that hard.

"What is that tiny box that holds so much of your attention?" Kol asked, eyeing her phone.

Lizzie paused at that.

How could she answer that?

What if-

Lizzie grabbed her phone and searched 'technological advancements of the twenty-first century'. She pulled up an article and pretended to read it as she rested her elbows on the counter.

With one hand she motioned him to come over and angled the phone so he could read. Kol put an arm on either side of her from behind and started reading over her shoulder.

Lizzie started as she realized that she could feel his breath on her neck.

Wait, could he touch her in this form?

Fuck, if he could, she was screwed.

Kol whispered for her to scroll down and she did, allowing him to continue reading.

All the while, she was panicking on the inside.

Lizzie glanced up, hearing movement from the room she slept in and from Stefan's room.

Why did those two always get up at the same time?

Stefan exited the room and walked over, taking a seat beside her.

Lizzie saw Kol look over at Stefan, head cocked.

Enzo looked up as well. "Finally, mate. We've been waiting forever."

Stefan rolled his eyes. "Enzo, you've been waiting for at most 10 minutes," He responded.

Kol moved back to his original leaning position, watching them all like a hawk.

Lizzie turned off her phone, putting it in her pocket.

"Hey, Stef," Lizzie greeted.

Stefan turned to her with a smile.

"Hey Lizzie, sleep well?" Stefan asked, taking a glass of animal blood from Enzo.

Yes, they brought animal blood.

Now was not the time to work on Stefan's blood addiction.

"Uh, yeah, you?" Lizzie asked.

"Mm-hmm," He mumbled, as he began stretching.

Lizzie pointedly began to watch.

Wow. Those muscles though...

"Hot damn," She exclaimed, ignoring the growl from Kol. "You could totally be a model, Stefan"

Stefan laughed. "Yeah, I think I'm good."

"Come on, mate. It might be fun," Enzo piped up.

"Yes!" Lizzie shouted and they both looked at her with raised eyebrows. "You're both super hot and think about all the women."

"What did I just walk in on?" Josie asked, coming out of their room.

They all turned to Josie, who was looking at them confused but also amused.

"Jo!" Lizzie shouted. "What do you think about the boys being models?"

Josie walked over. "I mean, they could do it," She said in agreement.

Kol was looking between them confused.

"I thought you said you were twins? Or is she a friend?" Kol asked, confused.

Lizzie's eyes flickered in his direction, as she thought quickly.

"See guys. My dearest twin sister agrees as well. Which means you have to do it," Lizzie said with a grin.

Josie rolled her eyes in amusement as she came to stand next to Lizzie, in between Stefan and her. While Kol nodded slightly out of the corner of her eye.

The boys exchanged looks, before looking back at the twins.

"We'll think about doing it once," Stefan said for the both of them.

Lizzie squealed. "Oh this gonna be so much fun."

"Lizzie, they said they'd think about it. Which means they might decide not to," Josie said, looking at her amused.

Lizzie immediately started pouting causing Enzo and Stefan to laugh. Kol was also looking at her amused.

Enzo turned to Josie. "Morning, beautiful," He said, handing her a glass of blood.

"Morning, Enzo," Josie said, taking the glass. Then Josie looked for a place to sit but saw none. So she turned and hefted herself up and onto Lizzie's lap.

Lizzie laughed and placed her chin on Josie's shoulder, as she wrapped her arms around Josie's middle.

The boys looked on in amusement, while Kol looked envious.

"So what are we doing today?" Stefan asked, finishing his glass of blood. Enzo took it from him and placed it in the sink, along with Lizzie's.

Lizzie's eyes widened and she grabbed her phone and checked for texts from Marcel.

Sure enough, he texted back, saying to meet him at a breakfast bar near the town square.

"First, we're meeting up with Marcel for breakfast, then I need to finish my business here, and then we'll head back home," Lizzie replied.

Kol was completely still as something seemed to click in his brain.

"Marcel?" Kol asked aloud. His gaze snapped to her. "As in Marcellus?"

Lizzie ignored him, focusing on the others.

"Ok, sounds good," Stefan nodded.

Kol moved away from the counter and went behind her again.

Oh no.

"Are you ever going to tell us the business you have here?" Josie asked, leaning back against her.

Lizzie breathed in deeply as she felt Kol's fingers start to trace her neck.

Shit. When did he learn he could touch her?

"Not yet," Lizzie replied, pursing her lips in order to prevent herself from yelling at Kol. And Enzo groaned in annoyance at her response. "You'll know when I'm done."

Don't tense. Josie was right here. Do not tense.

His fingers ran along her jugular vein.

"Please tell me you're not going to cause a war amongst the locals?" Josie begged.

The fingers paused.

"Of course not. That's for later," Lizzie replied, rolling her eyes in an attempt to act natural. "That can't happen until we figure out how to break the curse of the wolves."

"What curse?" Kol asked, confused. He pulled back his hand and walked back to his original spot.

Lizzie shook her head ever so slightly.

'Not now, Kol,' She thought.

"Alright, we should head out," Lizzie said.

Josie nodded and hopped off of her, going to go grab her jacket.

"Josie, can you grab mine as well?" Lizzie asked.

"Yeah," She called back.

The boys grabbed their stuff and Josie walked over and handed Lizzie her jacket.

With that, they all headed out.

Kol followed behind, taking note of all the new technology as he went.

When they arrived at the breakfast bar, Marcel greeted them.

Lizzie saw the complete shift in the expression on Kol's face as he spotted Marcel and felt concerned.

She had no idea why he was reacting that way.

Was there bad blood she didn't know about? Guess she'll find out.

The group of strange vampires hung out for about an hour, with Kol making snide remarks every time Marcel said something.

As she was sitting there, Lizzie came to the realization that she and her sister were collecting strays.

First, Stefan. Then, Enzo. Then, Kol. Even if Josie didn't know about him yet.

Then, Lizzie realized that if she wanted to rescue the next stray she needed to act now.

"Hey, guys. I really have to go. I have to finish my business so that we can head back to Mystic Falls," Lizzie interrupted.

"Finally," Kol groaned.

"Are you still going alone?" Josie asked.

"Yeah," Lizzie responded.

"Actually, She won't be alone, darling, seeing as I'll be there as well," Kol said, even though he knew Josie couldn't hear him.

"If your sister and friends so wish, I can show them around to some of my favorite sites, while they wait for your return," Marcel suggested.

"Pathetic lapdog," Kol sneered. "Always seeking to please others like the little welp you are."

"Yeah, that would be great, thanks Marcel," Lizzie responded.

"Bye guys, I'll text you when I'm done," Lizzie said, leaving the breakfast bar.

"Finaally, we're alone, darling," Kol said, sounding very pleased.

Lizzie rolled her eyes. "Can you not. I really have to do this, and I think you might be really interested in what I'm doing as well."

"Fine," Kol responded, pouting. "What is happening, little witch?"

"We are going to wake up your long lost sister," Lizzie said.

Kol froze, shell shocked.

Lizzie smirked, then turned and started walking away, following the directions on her phone.

<><><>

"Dowager Fauline Cottage," Lizzie announced looking at the loaming house in front of them. Kol stood behind her, expression unreadable.

"Are we really doing this, darling?" Kol asked.

"Yes," Lizzie responded, simply.

Lizzie and Kol entered past the gate. Kol's eyes flickered around, searching for any possible dangers.

They reached the house and Lizzie tried to open the door but it was spelled shut.

She rested her palm on the door and started siphoning the magic. Kol was watching the red glow with open curiosity, having never seen a siphon witch in action before.

Powerful magic ran through her veins, sending shivers of pleasure up and down her spine. Once she was sure she had siphoned the whole spell, she tried the door again.

It opened and Lizzie smirked. She loved being a siphoner.

Kol raised his eyebrows impressed.

They entered the cottage and walked through the hallway.

Lizzie sensed something from the room up ahead and walked towards it. Kol followed curiously. When she reached the door, she pushed it open.

There was an intake of breath from Kol as he looked past her at something against the wall. Her eyes were locked on the same thing

It was a glass coffin.

And in it? Freya Mikaelson...

Lizzie walked forward and placed her hand on the glass.

It shattered.

But Lizzie made the glass fall to the floor instead of on the lost Mikaelson.

Kol was silent behind her.

Lizzie took Freya's hand in her own and focused on her with her magic.

'Wake up!' She thought forcibly.

There was a moment of stillness, then Freya's eyes snapped open and Lizzie threw up a barrier to protect herself from the blast of magic that threw things across the room.

"Who are you to dare awaken me?" She asked, pushing herself up, and two her feet.

"Someone who knows who you truly are and what you truly want," Lizzie said, softly.

Freya paused, uncertain.

Then, Freya's eyes narrowed. "You are not alone, someone else is here." She declared, eyeing Lizzie mistrustfully.

"Is there a way for her to see me?" Kol asked, eyes locked on his sister.

Lizzie glanced at him, noticing Freya following her eye line.

"I don't know, but I can try," Lizzie replied.

"Try what?" Freya asked, tense.

"The other person in the room isn't here physically. He's here mentally though. And I want to see if I can make it so you can see him as well," Lizzie explained. She knew that if she wasn't careful, this could turn really dangerous for her.

"Very well. Do it," Freya commanded.

Lizzie fought the urge to say that she wasn't the boss of her. Now was definitely not the time to be her usual self. Especially with volatile Mikaelsons. Despite what her sister thinks, she had some self-preservation.

Lizzie turned to him and held out a hand. Kol walked forward and took it, gripping it tightly. She then turned to Freya and held out her other hand.

Freya didn't move for a moment as she decided whether or not to trust Lizzie not to do anything against her. Then she walked forward and placed her palm in Lizzie's.

Lizzie closed her eyes and focused.

In her mind's eye, she saw the thread that connected Kol to her. Lizzie latched onto it more tightly this time and pulled it towards her mentally.

Then she focused on Freya and used her siphoning powers to pull a tiny piece of Freya's magic to her and connected it to Kol's tether.

Lizzie heard a gasp as she felt Freya let go of her hand so she opened her eyes.

She saw Freya looking at Kol in pure shock, but there was also a vulnerability that began to slip past her perfected mask.

Kol clearly noticed and released Lizzie's hand, taking a step towards Freya.

"Hello, sister," Kol greeted, softly.

"Brother," Freya breathed in disbelief. "How- I don't understand how this can be?"

"I'm going to give you guys a moment," Lizzie said.

Kol looked at her and she saw hope mixed with uncertainty in his eyes.

"You can tell her everything," Lizzie said.

He nodded and Lizzie started to leave the room.

When she looked back, she saw Freya jump into Kol's arms and Kol hesitantly put her arms around her.

She smirked. All in a day's work.
