"We have a family reunion, first."

Rhea chuckled, "Yeah, about that, pretty sure Klaus is going to kill me on site."

Kol raised a brow, "Yet you're not bothered?"

Rhea grinned, "Save Klaus' sireline or bring you back? Funnily enough, I think I made the right decision— and I'd choose it again and again."

Rhea was strutting into the Compound, head held high, waiting for Klaus to make a move. As expected, as soon as she entered the courtyard, he pinned her against a support beam by the shoulders.

"If you were anyone else, you'd be quite dead, by now, sweetheart." Klaus threatened, "I'm curious, why would you come here alone?"

Rhea wasn't the slightest bit afraid, because as he finished talking, Kol vamp-sped into courtyard, tossing Klaus to the opposite side. Once Klaus was on hit feet again, he looked absolutely stunned to see his brother stood in front of him.

Kol smirked, looking to Rhea and then back to Klaus, "She didn't come alone, brother."

Klaus continued to stare at him in shock and disbelief as Freya and Elijah came downstairs to see what the commotion was.

"Now, Nik, I mean, you did just go after my girl." Kol warned.

"It can't be." Klaus breathed out, not believing what he was seeing.

"Well it is, breaking your sire link created a surge of power." Rhea said, stepping in the middle of Kol and Klaus.

Freya threw Rhea a cold look, "You stole the nexus vorti."

Rhea rolled her eyes, "Freya, you're very welcome that I resurrected your brother."

Kol walked towards his siblings, ready to defend Rhea at all costs, "You should be thanking her, really."

Out of nowhere, Klaus lunged forward, bringing Kol into a tight embrace. The latter looked both shocked and pleased at his brothers reaction.

Once they pulled away, Kol turned to Elijah, "Hello, Elijah."

"You haven't aged a day." Elijah said with a smile, glad to see his younger brother again.

Kol turned to Freya, frowning, "And you..?"

"Freya." She said with a small smile.

Rhea slipped her hand into Kol's, "Otherwise known as your long-lost older sister."

Kol nodded in realisation, "Speaking of twists and turns in our family tree, where might Rebekah be?"

"That's a long story," Klaus told him, "As per usual, our family faces a multitude of threats and although I'm not sure if Rhea is one, I think she can help with our current predicament."

Rhea laughed bitterly, "What makes you think I'm going to help you with anything?"

"Well you can either stay and help, or you can go, seeing as I'm sure you'll prove to be nothing more than a distraction to my brother." Klaus warned, Kol let out a frustrated sigh.
