Opening her eyes the chanting stopped, "Goodbye Kol." Kol squinted his eyes in confusion, "What?" Just as that was said Candice woke up with a sharp gasp.

Elijah who had been trying to get her up due to Damon who insisted on waking her up first, staggered back slightly. Damon immediately went to her side after undaggering Finn who hadn't fully woken yet. "Elijah?" Candice jumped out of the coffin and wrapped her arms around Elijah who hugged back knowing she remembered.

"Why did he do that to me? He took them." She mumbled, holding Elijah tighter, "Well you can ask him later. We have business to discuss, I'll fill you in later." Elijah spoke, letting her go and going to undagger Kol and Rebekah, much to her dismay.

"Oh god, Damon I'm really sorry for how we left things off." She cringed at the memories of Damon and Candice back when he was human. "What?" He mumbled in confusion but nevertheless wrapped his arms around her. "I'm glad your safe, kiddo," He mumbled into her ear.

Elijah and Damon continued their plan, putting the daggers on a tray and placing that into a compelled woman's hand. Candice immediately rushed to Finn, grabbing a girl and compelling her to stay silent, she bit into her neck and dropped the blood on Finns lips. Slowly did the veins disappear and he awoke, grabbing the girl and sucking her blood dry.

"I knew you'd be my savior." He smirked, letting himself out of the coffin, burning with rage that was going to be directed onto Klaus. "I'm always saving your asses." She smirked, pulling him into a hug which caught him off guard since it was considered inappropriate to touch a girl back then.

"Candice?" Rebekah asked slowly, smiling and running up to her, pulling her into a warm hug. Kol who just awoke was burning with rage, he for some reason didn't remember anything that went on when Candice was stuck in the other side with him. "Bek." She grinned. Meanwhile, Damon was beyond confused on why Candice was all buddy buddy with the Originals.

"I thought you were dead, what the hell? Where's Anthony?" Rebekah whispered out the last part, hoping that her ex lover was indeed not dead. Candice frowns at the mention of her dear brother. "I'm not sure." Rebekah nodded but walked over to Elijah who was talking with Kol and Finn about the plan. Kol still not aware of Candice staggered back slightly as he felt the ring on his finger begin to glow.

It was spelled to glow when Candice was near. Elijah had finished explaining everything to his siblings as Damon stood back next to Candice who had her face in a woman's neck, sucking her dry of blood. Candice dropped her and decided to let them do their plan but also decided on doing her own.

Walking out of the room she made her way to the dining room to see Stefan held against the wall by his throat. "Niki dear, would you be a doll and remove your hand from his throat?" She spoke, Stefan furrowing his brows at her strong British accent that almost made him forget all about Elena. Her voice wanted to draw him in.

Niklaus eyes widened at her, smiling slightly at the recognizable accent and not the awfully terrible American accent. "Anything for you, my dear." Removing his hand, he walked over to Candice who held her hand out, putting it into a fist, Klaus screamed in pain as she made his blood literally boil. "That's for all the pain you caused your siblings. This is for daggering Finn." She snapped her fingers, stopping the spell she grabbed the chair and broke the leg, shoving it into his abdomen. "Don't ever defy me again." She threatened.

Just as she stuck him to the wall, Elijah and Damon entered, Stefan immediately going to his brother still shocked by Candice. "He's all yours, Elijah. Do be a dear and make him suffer for me. I'll be back." Letting the stake go, Klaus sunk to the floor ripping it out and snarling at the blonde. Kol frowned hearing her angelic voice thought he couldn't believe she was still alive after all of these years. Candice sped out, running to Caroline's house to inform her of Candice's real life and to apologize for adding her life into Caroline's.

Getting there Candice found Caroline staring at the wall of her bedroom blankly. Candice sighed knowing she been crying and walked out, sitting down next to Caroline. "What's wrong?" She asked in her accent which caught Caroline off-guard but she shrugged it off. "Daddy's dead, he didn't complete the transition." Caroline's mumbled, suddenly her eyes widened realizing who she'd been talking to. "Candice?! Oh my god I thought you were dead!" Caroline jumped into her arms, crying into her chest because Candice was a bit taller than the average girl.

"I'm completely fine, now tell me exactly what happened." Caroline nodded and sat down explaining everything that's happening and what she missed, though when Candice butted in, the English accent caught her off guard every time.

"Hold on. Why the hell are you speaking like you're a thousand years old? You sound, I don't know, like Rebekah." Caroline grimaced at Rebekah's name, raising her brows at her fake sister.

"That's why I'm here. I need you to see this, don't freak out." Caroline nodded as Candice placed her thumbs on her forehead chanting a spell onto Caroline who was confused. That was until Caroline could see every memory Candice shared in 1002 Southern France with the Mikaelsons.

"You're not my real sister? I'm just spelled to believe that?" Caroline asked, suddenly standing up and staggering back away from her fake sister. "It was never my intention to hurt you or your family. I love you like a real sister, truly. But I must leave as soon as possible so I can find my brother and my coven. If you choose to forget me, I understand." She spoke slowly.

Caroline clenched her jaw, still trying to get over the death her father and now she finds out her sister isn't even her sister. "Just get out. I never want to see you again." She mumbled in a betrayed tone, Candice nodded and walked out, speeding to her room she packed her things and spelled it back to it transported to the Mikaelson Mansion.

Taking her bag she walked out and sped back to the mansion. Seeing everyone gathered in the living room area she walked in and set down her bag onto a coat hanger. "You're a new face." She spoke slowly and cautiously, Esther slowly turned around with a small fake smile.

Kol hearing the voice turned around and went agape, smiling slightly at the blonde girl he'd been in love with for a thousand years. "Candice Parker, I presume? I'm Esther Mikaelson, it's a pleasure to finally meet the woman who made life better for my children. Especially Kol." She greets, not holding her hand out because she didn't want to touch a heretic who could kill her so fast.

"Darling?" Candice looked to Kol, clenching her jaw at his gorgeous face. "Oh right, you don't remember. Let me fix that." She waved her hand and gave Kol the memories back, Kol cringed and sat back into his seat silently. Klaus smirks in amusement at that. "We'll talk about us later, for now I need to speak with this woman."

Esther raised a brow as Candice held her hand out, "It's a pleasure to meet you, Esther. It's okay, I won't kill you." Esther mentally sighed and put her hand into Candice's feeling her magic. It was definitely more powerful than hers at the moment but she wouldn't admit that aloud. "So, you're the woman who helped my children all those centuries ago?" She asked.

Candice shrugged and walked over to the couch, shoving Niklaus to the singular couch with a wave of her hand and sitting beside Finn, causing Nik to scowl. "You could say that. I always end up saving their ass. But yes, I helped them control their hunger and thirst after you made them into monsters." She said cheerfully, leaning into Finn who placed a hand on her back.

All the Mikaelsons visibly flinched at the memories of becoming monsters. "So I ask, what are your intentions?" Candice said a little more seriously, silently threatening Esther to make any wrong move and Candice wouldn't hesitate to kill her. "I just want to live in peace with my family. Just as you wished to live in peace with yours." Esther slowly looked up at the entrance way as someone walked in with some hesitance. Candice shot up, standing up immediately, Klaus watched as Rebekah stared at the man with bright eyes.

Finn and Kol went agap as Elijah just raised a brow at the man he once knew as a friend. "Anthony?" Candice slowly walked up, just as he went to speak she slapped him across the face. "That's for listening to Kol and taking my memories." Anthony cringed at the memory, glancing at Kol who grimaced and looked down.

"Can't say he didn't deserve that." Finn could hear Elijah mumble, leaning against the wall to watch the interaction.

"I deserved that, I'm sorry for what I did. You didn't deserve that and me forcing you into a family without you knowing was for your protection. I didn't know Katherine would find you and kill you. But that's over now, I just want things to go back to the way they were." Anthony explained, glancing at Rebekah with apologetic eyes. "I won't forgive you but I do want things to go back to normal." Candice pulled her brother in for a hug that he returned.

Esther and Finn excused themselves but Candice stopped Finn, "Let me do you another favor." She waved her hand and Finns long hair was no longer as she gave him a simple nice haircut. Finn chuckled and kissed her cheek before following after his mother.

Rebekah and Anthony gazed at each other for a while until he broke the silence. "I once loved you and you me but that was a thousand years ago. We've both moved on, let's just stay friends, yeah?" Rebekah looked at him and she knew she no longer loved him, smiling she nodded and placed a kiss to his cheek before leaving. Anthony quickly went to his room after giving a friendly hug to Elijah.

Elijah quickly walked out after giving a kiss to Candice cheek which was making Kol jealous each time. She was getting cheek kisses and affection from all his siblings. He knew Elijah and Klaus once fancied her back then but he thought they'd get over their stupid crushes. It has been a thousand years after all. Bekah once had a thing for Candice until she met Anthony. Finn only saw her as a best friend of course.

Klaus was holding a cup of blood waiting for one of them to go off on each other before they started kissing. Candice broke from her stare off with Kol and turned to Klaus. "Get out." Klaus groaned and mumbled something under his breath, "you're no fun." Klaus slammed his book shut and walked out, still planning on listening into the conversation.

"I'm guessing I don't have to explain myself as you know everything already." Candice nodded slowly, sitting herself across him on the other sofa.

"I loved you, and that wasn't enough? You just had every memory of you wiped from my brain without a second doubt. You have no idea what I went through after that. You're lucky I broke the spell so I could search for you. Unfortunately you were in a coffin at the time, so I had to go to my coven to seek help to get you out. That didn't go so well." Candice whispered that last part under her breath.

"Loved me?" He whispered, looking down at his hands in slight shame. Candice sighed but decided to change the subject, of course she still loves Kol, she never stopped, but it was too complicated.

"My coven has a new leader, apparently they banned siphons from the coven that I created. I've decided that's what I'm going to do with my spare time after I get out of this crap town. I'm going to find any siphons that have been disowned and help them. I don't like what the Gemini coven has become." Candice states, looking through her memories of the children who had been disowned.

"So you want to leave? Just drop everything and everyone and take off?" Kol asked, Candice slowly nodded looking at her hands that held many rings around her fingers. "I've spent my entire life using people for my advantage, killing, maiming, using. I'm done with that, I need to do something right with my life. Besides I don't have anyone else." She sighed, standing up and speeding up to her room.

Seeing all her stuff in the room Rebekah told her, she found the box of books, ancient spell books that she didn't even know she had. Smiling slightly she realized they were disguised as regular books, they were all grimoires that she and her brother wrote themselves.

"My mother wanted me to inform you about the ball that will be taking place tomorrow evening. I hope you join us as apart of the family. We may not be blood but you will always be a Mikaelson." Rebekahs soft sweet voice made Candice turn around. Rebekah held a ball gown in her arms, probably the biggest gown Candice had ever seen.

"I would be honored to join you're family. I don't have much of it these days. Now may I ask why you have that extremely big gown in your arms?" Rebekah smiled and walked over to Candice bed, setting down the dress so Candice could get a good look at it.

"A while ago after we left the castle, Kol was so upset, it took him decades to except the fact that you weren't coming back. But one night we had attended a party and Kol being Kol went up to the royal princesses room to kill her until he found this gown hung up, unused. It reminded him of something you'd wear so he took it. Me and Nik kept it for you when Kol was daggered. I had it tailored and modernized for you."

Candice smiled softly, the gown was exactly something she would wear. Rebekah sat down beside her and smiled at the girl she once fancied before she fell for Anthony. "You guys kept it for centuries? What if I never came back?" Candice looked up, oblivious to loving look Rebekah was giving her.

"We always knew you would. When I found out you were I alive I couldn't believe it, so Nik had shown me and I knew you were the girl I once cared deeply for. And I still do, you helped me and my siblings despite us being monsters and I never got to thank you for that. You were my first true friend." Tears leaked out of Rebekah's eyes and Candice shot forward pulling her into a hug.

"You don't need to thank me, I'd do over and over again if it meant meeting your family." Rebekah nodded and they both pulled away, Bek went to grab a hanger and Candice held up the dress admiring it. "Kol would love you in it." Rebekah spoke, hanging up the gown and setting it in the closet.

"Well Kol and I are still figuring out where we are. And besides, I have unfinished business with a certain werewolf." Candice knew her old life was going to cause her major problems, those problems being Seth Lockwood. They had a friends with benefits thing going on and that needed to end. Unfortunately, Seth absolutely hated the originals and vampires in general.

"That Seth boy? Nik never could figure out what was going on with you too. Never knew you were into the friends with benefits thing." Rebekah smirked teasingly, Candice rolled her eyes and sat down on the vanity chair. "Well technically that was my imposter self. You know I'm more a one night stand hate sex type of girl. What can I say? I like it a little rough." Candice shrugged with a smirk.

"God I missed these chats with you. I could never talk with Aurora like I do with you." Rebekah said, almost grimacing at the name of the red head a thousand years ago. "I wonder how she's doing right now. We didn't exactly leave off in the best terms, I kind of tried to kill her." Candice smirked, brushing through her hair as Rebekah went through her jewelry.

"She was always a bit of a bitch. Anyways, tomorrow we are going shopping and you are going to lend me a ton of your jewelry. I'll see you in the morning." Candice nodded, watching as Rebekah left, Candice waved her hands around, making everything put away and organized.

"I always loved watching you do spells," Candice turned around to be faced with Finn, who leaned against the doorway. Candice had already spelled her room so nobody would listen in on her conversations or if she was doing a spell. "I loved performing them for you."

"I want to speak with you about that linking spell you told me about centuries ago. The one where you could link a group of people and if one gets hurt they all do." Finn stated, shutting the door as Esther smirked slightly from her room. "Oh yes of course, I made it a year after myself and Anthony escaped a coven that wanted me dead. I would use it to kill their coven all at once. Would you want to see the page?" Candice asked whilst flicking through a grimoire that had all of her old spells she wrote herself.

"I would love too. Do you think I can borrow it? Just for curiosity. It reminds me of the times I was a witch." Candice smiled at her best friend and nodded, flipping to the page she didn't want to rip the grimoire so she put a ribbon in and handed him the book. "Enjoy yourself. But fair warning if anyone who's not as powerful as me uses those spells it would weaken them instantly." Finn nodded and walked out with the book.

Candice grabbed some underwear and a bra before changing into that and grabbing a shirt that she was sure belonged to Seth by the smell but she couldn't care less. She never wore pants to bed since she preferred to limit her clothing options in bed, it was more comfortable that way. Little did she know right now Esther was flipping through her grimoire, admiring each spell. Specifically the linking spell she would use to kill her family and Candice. Who was supernaturally linked to Kol by their love. Finn was obviously hesitant with the idea of killing Candice but Esther convinced him it would be fine and she'd be with Kol in peace.

He believed her.
