Candice entered the bar, putting on her best confident look, she sat over at the bar next to another person. Ray looked over and bits his lips smugly, looking the young woman up and down. "Can I get a margarita? Thank you." Candice asks sweetly and the bartender nods before getting ready to make it.

"Put that on my tab." Ray says, and Candice turns over to him with a fake smile. "You are so sweet, thank you." Ray smiled and turned his body to face her, "What's your name pretty thing?" Ray flirts, making Candice mentally groan in annoyance.

"I'm Candice, Candice Forbes. You must be Ray, Ray Sutton?" She smirks when his face becomes alarmed, making him look at her with skepticism. "Who are you?" He leans over, making her roll her eyes and grab his arm pushing him into the bar table. Gripping his arm harshly whilst Klaus walks in with a smug smirk.

"I've been looking everywhere for you. We started in Florida, Pensacola. I met a young chap there who you used to work with before you moved to Memphis, now he directed me to two lovely young women. And they led me here, to you." Klaus mused, making Candice roll her eyes and grip his arm harsher.

" I think I'll be going." Ray grunted, trying to push her away from him. Klaus chuckled when Ray hit Candice in the arm. "I should've warned you about my little friend here. She has quite the temperamental problem." Candice grunted and kneed him in the stomach and banged his head into the table, then threw him to Klaus who held him.

"I love seeing her like this, especially when she's drunk. It's quite the show, go on love." Candice smacked Ray across the face and took him from Klaus, then threw him into a table, breaking it to pieces. "That was for looking at my ass. You pig." She kicked him again and was now pulled back by Klaus who chuckled. "Calm down love. We need him." She grunted and moved to sit back down whilst Klaus picked up Ray.

Ray tried to walk but Klaus held him back again, "Not so fast mate. You only just got here, now your type are very hard to come by." Ray tried to walk away again but bumped into Stefan who had just arrived. Stefan raised a brow at Ray and spoke, "I wouldn't do that."
He pushes him back to the counter.

"Vampires," Ray says once he realizes what they were. Candice chuckled quietly, taking a sip of her margarita.

"You're swifty swift Ray! Yes! My friend here is a vampire. The other one is part vampire. He compelled everybody in the bar so don't look to them for any help. I however, I'm something else, a different kind of monster. I've got some vampire, I've got some wolf." Candice raised a brow, still not understanding why Klaus refused to tell her about what she really was.

"You what?" He asked in shock, glancing at Candice and back to Klaus. "A hybrid Ray, I'm both. You see I want to create more of me. Now you being the first werewolf that I've come across in many a moon, pun intended Ray! I need you to direct me to your pack. So, where can I find them Ray?"

"You can't compel me, it won't work." Ray says, now thinking he had the upper hand. Though by the look Candice gave and Stefan scratched his head awkwardly. Klaus looks at him and he nods. Stefan turned around and takes something out of his back pocket.

"Can you bring out the darts please?" Stefan asked the bartender and he nodded before turning around to get the darts. "Tell you what Ray, We're gonna play a little drinking game, something I like to call truth or wolfsbane."
He pulled out a pouch of wolfsbane, poured it into his hand, and crushed it with his fingers.

"Oh, this is gonna be fun Ray." Klaus mused, before walking over and sitting next to Candice. "Why won't you tell me what I am?" Candice asked, turning to face Klaus. He sighed and ran a hand through his hair, pursing his lips he turned his body to face her.

"You won't believe me, and I'm not entirely sure I'll believe me either. And truth be told I'd love to help you catch up, but you're spelled, and once I have someone undo that spell, you'll remember." Candice looked down and sighed, Klaus gave a firm smile and rubbed her back comfortably.

"What exactly will I remember? Because I'm only eighteen, there's not much to know about myself." Candice said plainly, glancing at Klaus who looked like he was pulled into a memory, a sweet one at that. Candice frowned and grimaced as she tried to guess what it was, "Oh, god..please tell me we didn't sleep together? Because if I supposedly knew you, I hope I didn't know you that much."

Klaus chuckled and shook his head, Candice sighed in relief. "Wrong brother love." And with that he walked away, leaving her to think about the brother she supposedly got with. "Please don't say Elijah!" Klaus chuckled and shook his head, "Gosh, how many brothers do you have?!"

Candice laid down in the backseat of the car whilst Stefan and Klaus hiked through the woods to find the Wolf pack. Candice smoked a blunt with the windows down so smoke eased its way out of the car. Suddenly her phone rang, and she looked over, Caroline' name popping up on the screen.

She hadn't known if it was the weed or something else because she answered. "Candice? Omg! Where the hell have you been?! Me and Damon have been looking everywhere for you! Mom is so worried!" Caroline exclaimed, Candice chuckled highly and took another hit as she talked.

"I've been having a blast! Klaus gives me his black card like all the time. And guess what? He lets me get high all the time!" She giggled and hung up, leaving a very confused Caroline. Candice tossed her phone somewhere else and took another hit coughing when she seen a figure sitting down beside her legs. "Please tell me this is the weed. What the hell did you buy me Nik?"

Suddenly the person disappeared and she rolled her eyes, giggling, she laid on her back and saw as Klaus and Stefan began to approach the car with blank stares. Once Klaus opened the door, a cloud of smoke came out, making him chuckle in amusement. "What did I tell you about getting high during important times?"

Candice chuckled and took another hit, Klaus and Stefan hopped in and during the whole ride, they listened as Candice giggled and talked about random things. Hours later, Candice had passed out and when she woke up, Klaus was carrying her to another car. She groaned, and closed her eyes, leaning into his chest more as he hopped in the backseat with her still in his lap.

Candice was asleep for quite a time because when she woke up, she was still in Klaus' lap as the car pulled over. "Wake up, love." He whispered gently, making her rub her eyes and climb out of the car. Still having dizziness effects from the weed, she stumbles, but Klaus quickly grabs her. "You're okay love." She smiled and nodded, standing up straight.

She held tightly to his arm, as they walked into a bar, Candice subconsciously remembering it.
Klaus, Candice and Stefan enter the bar. It's dim, quiet, and empty, no signs of anyone there. "Looks familiar, doesn't it?" Klaus asks Stefan, already knowing Candice remembered it, mainly because she helped build it.

"I can't believe this place is still here."

"You got to be kidding me." They all turn to see an older black woman enter and scowl at Klaus. Smiling softly at Candice. Klaus smiles and speaks, "So a hybrid walks into a bar, says to the bartender..." before he can finish, Gloria interrupts, "Stop. You may be invincible, but that doesn't make you funny."

Gloria turned to look at Stefan and Candice, "I remember you." She directed to Stefan, assuming Candice knew who Gloria was. "Yeah. You're Gloria. Shouldn't you be..."

"Old and dead? Now if I die, who's going to run this place, huh?" Candice chuckled but still kept a firm grip on Klaus' arm. "Gloria's a very powerful witch." Klaus informed his companions, wrapping an arm around Candice' shoulder. "I can slow the aging down some. Herbs and spells. But don't worry, it'll catch up to me one day."

"Stefan, Candy, why don't you go and fix us up a little something from behind the bar?" Candice looked up at Klaus, giving her a reassuring smile, she let go of his arm and walked over to the bar with Stefan.

"What's wrong with her?" Gloria asked, Stefan furrowing his brows as he listened to their conversation. "Before we get down to business, I need a favor." Gloria looked at the still buzzed girl and sighed, "What is it?"

"She's been having some trouble with her memory. I need you to fix that." Gloria frowned and gestured him to follow her to a table, he did as so. "Even if I could do that, she has a thousand and more, memories. It would take a million witches to restore that. Candice put this spell on herself, she's powerful enough to do it." Klaus sighed and ran a hand through his hair, Stefan still confused on what he's hearing.

"Well what do I do? I need her to remember, everything." Gloria looked down and suddenly remembered what Klaus had told her, about Kol' and Candice' relationship. "Maybe, it's not a spell you need, but love. Candice had spent most of her life, loving Kol, searching for him. As has Kol, the only way, is for them to reunite." Klaus sighed and glanced at Candice.

She had her head down whilst she took a nap, for the third time that day. "You look ravishing, by the way." Klaus says, trying to bring the attention off of Candice. "Don't. I know why you're here. A hybrid out to make more hybrids? That kind of news travels."

"So what am I doing wrong? I broke the curse."

"Obviously you did something wrong. Look, every spell has a loophole, but a curse that old...We'd have to contact the witch who created it." Gloria said, and Klaus mentally rolled his eyes, walking over to the bar, he rubbed Candice' back. Gloria following over, "Well, that would be the original witch. She's very dead," Klaus mused.

"I know. And for me to contact her, I'll need help. Bring me Rebekah." Gloria placed a kiss on Candice' head and brushed her hair back. Stefan notices a photo on the wall and pulls it off to look at it, making Klaus glance over to him.

"Rebekah. Rebekah is a bit preoccupied."

"She has what I need. Bring her to me," Klaus frowned and Gloria walked off. Stefan looked up from the photo and his eyes widened slightly, "What is this?"

"Well, I told you, Stefan. Chicago's a magical place."

"But this is me. With you," Stefan said, obviously hating the fact that he was friends with Klaus. He shows him the picture. It's a picture of Stefan with his arm around Klaus' shoulders in the 1920s. And then the signature on the back, showing Candice' name.

𝒞𝒶𝓃𝒹𝒾𝒸𝑒 𝒫𝒶𝓇𝓀𝑒𝓇

"Ahh yess, Candy was always the greatest photographer." Candice looked up, hearing her name and her eyes widened when she seen a signature on the photo, in her writing. With her name, only the last name was different. "What the hell." She mumbled and her head ached, suddenly getting flashes of the 1920s.

She fell backwards but Klaus caught her, Gloria ran out, "Bring her to the table." Klaus immediately obeyed and laid her down on the table. Stefan coming up to check on Candice. "What's happening to her?!" Klaus demanded, Gloria pressed her fingers to Candice' temple, seeing flashes and memories of the 1920s. Candice groaned and clutched her head, but Klaus and Stefan grabbed her arms and held them down.

"She's getting her memories back. But...wait..no...she needs a stronger trigger. I can stop this but the rest is up to you." Gloria whispered under her breath and Candice suddenly opened her eyes with a gasp. Sweat dripping from her forehead, Stefan and Klaus let go of her arms and she sat up. "What the hell just happened?"

》* 。 • ˚ ˚ ˛ ˚ ˛ • 。* 。° 。* 。 • ˚《

Candice walked into the warehouse, Klaus still refused to tell her what happened at the bar. Stefan and Klaus are walking in a warehouse following Candice in. Stefan is still holding the photo in his hands. "This doesn't make any sense. Why don't I remember you?" He questioned. "You said it yourself: that time had a lot of dark holes." Klaus replies, and Candice grumbled, knowing he wasn't going to fill her in about the 1920s and why she was there. "No, if you knew me, then why haven't you said anything?"

"I'm a little busy right now. Memory Lane will have to wait," Candice rolled her eyes and playfully shoved Klaus. "What the hell is going on? Answer me!" Stefan demands. "Let's just say we didn't get off to a brilliant start. To be honest, I hated you." After a long conversation about how Stefan and Klaus met in 1920, Klaus purposely avoiding mentioning anything about Candice. "Your sister. So I knew another Original vampire." Stefan said, shocked, whilst Candice took another hit of her blunt.

"If you can't handle it, then don't ask." Klaus smirked, walking over to a number of coffins which contain Original vampires. Candice follows him, along with Stefan, Candice looks around and her eyes land on a specific coffin. Klaus opens one. Rebekah Mikaelson is lying dead in it with a dagger stabbed in her chest, veins traveled her body. He smiles and gently touches her face, she wore a flapper dress with her hair beautifully done.

"She's gorgeous," Candice mumbled, Klaus smirked and looked over to her, "Well, make sure to tell her that in person. You'll be on her good side. Rebekah's temper is worse than mine." He then pulls the dagger out of her chest, waiting for her to awake. "Time to wake up, little sister." She's still lying there dead.

He looks at Stefan and Candice. "Any day now, Rebekah. She's being dramatic." As Klaus speaks, Candice got rid of the blunt and walked over to a coffin, looking at Klaus for permission to open it, he just shrugs. She smiled and carefully opened the coffin, to reveal a young man, probably 19 or 18, like her. "Nik, who's this? He's hot!" Klaus looks over and smirks, but it faltering when he realized she just called him Nik. When he never told her his real name.

Candice looked him up and down, he had the same appearance as Rebekah, veins traveled through his body. She reached over and touched his face gently, before everything went black. Klaus smirked in victory, speeding over and catching her body before calling over someone who then brought another coffin. Stefan furrowed his brows in confusion, "What are you doing with her?" Stefan asked, slightly alarmed.

Klaus shrugged and placed her body in a coffin and lined it up with Kol'. "She's remembering. It might take her a while to wake since she has a thousand years worth of memories." Klaus smirked and walked back over to Stefan who calmed down.
