In this story:

Bonnie comes back to life because of Qetsiyah.

Doesn't tell anyone she's alive.

Packing to leave Mystic Falls because her ancestor said so.

Finds him.

Takes him to Delena.

He wants to go with her.

They leave.

They fall for each other eventually while they travel.

They go to New Orleans.

Well hello there Klaus Mikaelson's kidnapped daughter.

Let's save you from these witches.

And fun happens in New Orleans.
