The three of them were stunned by her words, not knowing what to say next. Just then Klaus and Elijah appeared in the courtyard, noticing how the three of them are looking at the girl who was unknown to them.
- Klaus points his finger at her saying, "Who is she?"
- Freya turns to him, "I'm Freya, your sister." she says once again.
- "That's impossible." Elijah says.
- "It's a long story but not impossible." Freya tells him.
- "She is a little familiar to me, isn't she Kol?" Natali asked glancing between them.
- "You're right, you know. We met once before." Freya says and continues, "I was so desperate to catch a glimpse of my family so I came to New Orleans. We met in a bar back in 1914 and later you invited me to a Christmas party."
Rebekah stares at Freya for a moment, nearly in tears at the sight of her long-lost sister.
- "Freya." Rebekah breathed out.
- "The question is, how are you still alive?" Elijah asked.
- Klaus rolls his eyes and sighs, "A question, as ridiculous as its possible solutions, given this family's annoying predilection for cheating death."
- Freya looks between the four of them, "It a long story. I slept a hundred years, and now, finally, I'm free."
- "What about the other nine hundred?" Klaus asked.
- "We really need to talk." Freya says.
- "We don't need to talk, you're lying." Klaus tells her angrily.
- "I'm not lying. I can explain everything." Freya says.
- "We don't need your explanation, you're not our sister." Klaus growled at her, "Now get out of our home."
- "Nik.." Rebekah began.
- "What? You believe her?" Klaus questioned.
- "We should give her a chance to explain." Elijah told him.
- "I don't care." Klaus coldly says and walks away.
- Rebekah turns towards her brother, "Elijah please go and talk to him."
After Elijah left the four of them were alone in the courtyard of the compound.
- "You're still very powerful, I can feel it. Maybe even more than a hundred years ago." Natali spoke, she could feel that Freya was strong as Esther, maybe even stronger.
- "There's an explanation for everything. I just need all of you to trust me and give me a chance to explain." Freya told them.
- "Klaus is the only problem." Rebekah says.
When Elijah convinced Klaus to give Freya a chance to explain they've continued their talk in the living room.
- Freya was sitting opposite of everyone else while speaking her story, "I'm here because of a spell our aunt Dahlia cast, placing me in a deep sleep for a century, only to then wake for a single year of life. I've repeated this cycle for hundreds of years. It started as a way for us to stay young and beautiful. She said if a witch can't be immortal, this was the next best thing. But, in time, I realized that all her stories were paired with lies."
- "The way you're speaking of her... You're saying that Dahlia is still alive?" Elijah asks.
- "She doesn't just live - she hunts. I fled from her long ago and I've been running ever since."
- "So you came here to ask for help?" Klaus questioned her, clearly a little bit angry since he still didn't believe her.
- "She is coming here." Freya tells him.
- "Yes. For you." Klaus replies, "How do we even know you're telling the truth?"
- "Nik-" Rebekah tries to speak, but he ignores her.
- "How did you even end up with her?" Klaus asks.
- "Our mother never told you why she gave me up?" Freya asked.
- "No, she didn't." Rebekah replied.
- Freya sighs, "She wanted children, but she couldn't have any so she asked her sister who was a very powerful witch, more powerful than she ever was, to help her."
- "She couldn't help herself?" Natali asked.
- Freya shakes her head, "She wasn't practicing magic at the time. Dahlia and our mother were not getting along and she agreed to help her at one condition.."
- "And what was that?" Klaus asks like he didn't believe a word she was saying.
- "Out mother had to give her, her first born." Freya says, "That was me."
- "Mother said that disease had taken you." Elijah told her.
- "Dhalia took me in and taught me magic.." Freya said.
- "Exactly. How can we trust you, you just said she taught you everything?" Klaus says.
- "She ruined my life.. my life was never my own." Freya tells them.
- "I can put a spell on you, you'll be impossible to find!" Natali suggested.
- But Klaus didn't want to hear about it, "You're all idiots. She's isn't our sister, she's lying!"
- Freya stands up "I'm not lying, I can assure you. I want the same thing you all do."
- "And what's that?" Elijah asked.
- "A family." Freya replied.
- "We have no way of knowing that anything you said is true." Klaus told her.
Freya holds up each of her hands so that they are facing all of their faces and they all receive a vision/memory of Freya being taken by Dahlia.
Dahlia has just picked up the young Freya and is leaving with her as Esther and young Finn both cry in despair. Freya is hysterical and screaming.
- "I cannot give up my child! No, Dahlia, please!" Esther says.
- Freya shrikes, "MOMMY! MOMMY!"
Freya, having ended the vision, stares at her siblings.
- "Do you still think me a liar?" She asks looking at Klaus.
- "That proves nothing but your ability to conjure illusions." Klaus says, still not believing anything she said.
- "Before you dismiss me, you should know this - if I've woken from my slumber, Dahlia has as well. She will come here and she has the power to kill anyone who stands in her way.. unless we kill her first." Freya tells them.
- "That's quite convenient, isn't it?" Klaus says and laughs, "You show up in the nick of time to help us kill the woman with whom you've spent a thousand years!"
- Freya was now frustrated and angry, "You have no idea what it took to escape her! Or what I lost in the trying. Her punishment will be profound. Perhaps you'll allow your older sister to offer you a deal." she says.
- "What could you possibly offer us besides fairy tales and lies?" Klaus asks her.
- "Whatever you think of me brother, know this - when I speak to you, it is the truth." Freya told him.
Klaus angrily storms off, but when Elijah calls his name, he stops walking.
- "Niklaus. This woman has knowledge of the threat we now face and is willing to share that information." Elijah tells him.
- "Well, you'll excuse me, Elijah, if I'm not inclined to trust the mysterious sister we only just met! But, by all means, if you wish to entertain this idiocy, have at it." Klaus says.
Klaus vamp-speeds away before Elijah can argue any further, leaving them alone in the courtyard with Freya.
- "Thank you." Freya says and smiles at him shyly, "Your kindness is much appreciated."
- "I may be willing to accept your identity Freya, it doesn't mean I trust you." Elijah says.
- "Then I will look forward to earning that trust." Freya smiles at them and with those words she disappears.

When Natali came back her friends were sitting in a booth and feeding. She left into a room behind the club and there she prepared drinks with a vervain to give them to drink.
- "Hey guys, who's up for some drinks?" Natali asked, holding a plate with tequila shots for each of them.
- When all of her friends drank them they made a disgusted faces, "What the hell is in this? A vervain?" Sonia asked.
- "Yes. Since Klaus wants to turn you against me you need to drink vervain." Natali says.
- "He doesn't want that." Sonia said.
- "Yes he does." Natali told her firmly.
- "This is the first and last vevrain I'm drinking." Sonia argued.
- "Why are you like this?" Natali asked, "I'm just doing what's best for you."
- "No. You're doing what's best for you." Sonia says, "You can't control my life."
- "Kol. Help me." Natali told him.
- Kol was feeding on some human and when he stopped he looked at her and asked, "How can I help?"
- "I don't know just help." Natali told him.
- "If you didn't gave her vervain I could've compelled her to stop seeing my brother." Kol told her.
- "What?!" Sonia burst out, "You can't do that. That's against my free will and you said you will never compel one of us."
- "If you don't stop seeing him, he'll do that." Natali warned her.
- "No." Sonia protested, "Why no one is on my side?" she questioned looking at the rest of their friends.
- "Because they know what's for the best." Natali answered.
Sonia angrily rolled her eyes and quickly left Fangtasia.
KLAUS' P.O.V:
Klaus was on the balcony overwatching the city when he saw Sonia exiting the Fangtasia. He noticed that she was angry and followed her into some ally nearby.
Sona was furiously angry, she was ranting and raging as she banged her fist against the wall once, then she continued to hit the wall.
- "I won't let her control me." she whispered to herself as she stood straight and angrily brushed one tear that rolled down her cheek.
Klaus was standing near her in the shadows the whole time, when he noticed that she calmed down a little bit he took a few steps forward and said, "Well you have quite a temper."
- Sonia used her vampire speed to quickly turn around and look at him, "Oh, it's you." she told him.
- Klaus smiles, "Did you hoped it was someone else?" he asked.
- "Actually.. no." Sonia took a step towards him, "You could be the perfect company right now."
- "Can I guess who's trying to control you?" Klaus tells her.
- "Let's not talk about her right now." Sonia tells him, while tracing her finger along his jawline and down his neck.
- Klaus grabbed her hand strongly, "She actually told me to stay away from you."
- "She did, didn't she?" Sonia tells him, "She told me the same."
- "But.." Klaus spoke.
- "But, she doesn't control us." Sonia finished for him.
- "Yeah, about that.. you know that they have daggers that can put me down?" Klaus tells her.
- "Don't tell me you're scared of them." Sonia says.
- "I'm not scared of anyone." Klaus says in defense, even if he knew that won't the truth and he saw that Sonia wasn't convinced, "You are lucky they will never hurt you."
- "Not so sure about that." Sonia told him.
- "What happened?" Klaus asked.
- "Well Natali is scared that you're plotting something against them, so she gave all of us to drink a little vervain." Sonia told him.
- "And you did?" Klaus asked.
- "I didn't have a choice." Sonia spoke her voice was stronger than usually and she gritted her teeth in irritation.
- Klaus smiles at her, "Well in that case." she says and quickly grabs her neck and snaps it.
