Imarina's POV

We're in Chicago now and dropped Klaus' daggered siblings at a warehouse. We're not at a bar called Gloria's. "Seriously you brought my expectant mate to a bar?" Jackson asks Klaus.

"Don't worry, she won't be drinking" Klaus tells him and looks at Stefan. "Looks familiar, doesn't it?" he asks him.

"I can't believe this place is still here" Stefan states and we enter the bar. Jackson keeping me close to him. A dark skinned girl with grey white hair is behind the bar. She must be the witch Klaus was talking about.

"You got to be kidding me" she says when she sees us.

"So a hybrid walks into a bar, says to the bartender..." Klaus says with a smile.

"Stop. You may be invincible, but that doesn't make you funny" she tells him. "I remember you" she says looking at Stefan.

"Yeah. You're Gloria. Shouldn't you be..." Stefan says.

"Old and dead? Now if I die, who's going to run this place, huh?" she asks him.

"Gloria's a very powerful witch" Klaus tells us.

"I can slow the aging down some. Herbs and spells. But don't worry, it'll catch up to me one day" Gloria states. "Now you two are werecats. Haven't seen one of your kind in nearly hundred years. Whatever happened to Akima?" she asks Klaus.

"She died" Klaus states. "Imarina is my werecat and Jackson is her mate. He protects Elijah, but right is more focused on their future children" he states.

"That I am" Jackson says with a smile.

"Stefan, why don't you go and fix us up a little something from behind the bar?" Klaus suggests.

"I'll just have water" I tell Stefan. He nods his head and goes behind the bar. Jackson has me sit down. While Klaus continues to talk to Gloria.

"You look ravishing, by the way" he tells her.

"Don't. I know why you're here. A hybrid out to make more hybrids? That kind of news travels" she tells him.

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

"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 tells him.

"Well, that would be the original witch. She's very dead" Klaus tells her.

"What's a bet he killed her?" Jackson asks me quietly.

"Knowing Klaus, a good bet" I state.

"I know. And for me to contact her, I'll need help. Bring me Rebekah" Gloria tells Klaus. Rebekah, that's who my cheetah cub will protect. I want to meet her.

"Rebekah is a bit preoccupied" Klaus tells her. Yes, daggered in a box.

"She has what I need. Bring her to me" Gloria tells him.

"What is this?" Stefan demands and we all look at him.

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

"But this is me. With you" Stefan says confused. He shows us the picture. It's a picture of Stefan with his arm around Klaus's shoulders in the 1920s.

"Well we have to go collect Rebekah" Klaus states leaving the bar. I groan and Jackson helps me up as Stefan followed Klaus. We follow them ignoring their conversation. Until we reach the warehouse. Klaus goes to one of the coffins. He opens it to reveal a blonde woman laying inside daggered. In a dress from the 1920s. Klaus smiles and gently touches her face.

"I don't recognize her" Stefan states.

"Well, don't tell her that. Rebekah's temper is worse than mine" Klaus tells him and removes the dagger from Rebekah.

"Is that true?" I ask Jackson.

"From what Elijah has told me about her, yes sometimes" he states.

"Time to wake up, little sister" Klaus tells Rebekah. She remains still and he looks at us. "Any day now, Rebekah. She's being dramatic" he tells us.

"Look, why don't you just tell me what the hell is going on? I mean, you obviously want me here for a reason, right?" Stefan asks him.

"Well, you have many useful talents" Klaus tells him.

"He does?" Jackson and I ask him.

"In fact, I learned some of my favorite tricks from Stefan" Klaus says smirking. He tells us about how Stefan tortured one guy in the twenties. It made me sick and Jackson got me a bucket.

"Why should I believe any of this?" Stefan asks Klaus. When I tune back into the conversation. Klaus ignores him walking over to a guard man.

"When she wakes up, tell her to meet us at Gloria's Bar. Then volunteer your carotid artery and let her feed until you die" he says compelling him. "Little cat, you and Jackson remain here. Stefan and I are going to take a walk down memory lane" he tells me.

"Sure thing" I say.

"Remember Jackson, no undaggering Elijah or your cubs won't see the light of day" Klaus says before leaving with Stefan. As Jackson growls.

"It's ok Jackson, he wouldn't dare to hurt our cubs" I assure him. "But I am hungry, could you go get me a bit to ate please?" I ask him.

"But Klaus said we were to remain here" he states.

"Yes, but only I have to follow his orders. Besides there's a deli only five minutes away" I tell him.

"Very well, I won't be long" he assures me. I smile kissing him gently before he leaves. I sit down and rub my stomach. One of my cubs has been extra active since I saw Rebekah. It must be cheetah.

"Hush little one, you will meet her soon" I say and the kicking slows. I sigh and look up when I hear the guard yell. I see Rebekah feeding on him and feel queasy again. She drops him and looks at me hungry. I hiss flashing my eyes and she looks at me curious.

"You are not Akima, where is she?" she demands.

"Klaus said she's dead, I am Imarina" I state. Jackson appears and stands in front of me. "My mate Jackson" I say wrapping my arms around him.

"Two of you and cubs what fun" she says. "I'm Rebekah" she states.

"Klaus said we were to meet him at Gloria's" Jackson tells her.

"If Klaus wants to talk, he can come here" she states. "Now who do you both protect? What year is it?" she asks us.

"2010 and Klaus" I say.

"Elijah" Jackson states.

"What of your future cubs? Akima told me a mother always knows what bloodline her cubs will defend" she states.

"Elijah, Klaus and you" I state.

"Wonderful, now I plan on surprising my brother on his return. So no telling him where I am" she tells us. We shrug and I start to ate the food Jackson had brought me.
