''You don't spend enough time around witches, do you Stefan?'' Adreanna raised an eyebrow at the blonde-haired vampire with a smirk as she stood next to him and rubbed his side. Then her gaze rested on the witch in front of her, and her lips smirked unnoticeably. ''Gloria is a very powerful witch.''
The witch at whom the words were directed made a grimace at the lack of softness in the girl's words. Something should be left in the past, yet she knew that she would regret her actions until the day she died as she felt the girl's power around her. And some things don't change and can't be hidden. ''Adreanna,'' she nodded slightly in greeting.
''Is this how you greet old students, Gloria?'' Adreanna smiled at her, and this time her smile was genuine as the two women remembered the good times. Despite the bitterness their relationship was once sweet. ''It's good to see you again,'' their conversation was observed by everyone in the room with questions forming in their heads. ''Anyway, this time I'm not here for me but for something else.''
Gloria nodded and turned to the immortal hybrid who had already urged the younger vampires towards the bar while pulling a chair away so the red-haired girl could sit down. ''I know why you're here. A hybrid out to make more hybrids? That kind of news travels,'' the old witch said as she sat down across from them. Her gaze slid a few times to the young witch, who seemed to be under the protection of the original hybrid, as she noticed her chair was slightly behind his. ''Look, every spell has a loophole, but a curse that old, we'd have to contact the witch who created it.''
''Well, that would be the Original witch. She's very dead,'' Klaus grinned as Adreanna sat quietly beside him, listening. She knew how important information was to life and that it was best to gather as much as possible. She herself was educated enough to know who she was talking about, she would allow herself to say she was more educated than most of the older witches considering her interests and her open mind.
''I know. And for me to contact her, I'll need help. Bring me Rebekah.''
''Rebekah. Rebekah is a bit preoccupied.''
''She has what I need. Bring her to me,'' Gloria looked directly at Klaus, who sighed in annoyance before being interrupted by a confused Stefan with a photo from the past. Katherine grinned behind him, knowing that he didn't know she knew and enjoyed the show in front of her. 
While the vampires argued, the two witches looked at each other, when the older witch noticed that the red-haired one was already looking at her. Gloria wasn't about to move her gaze from the red-haired girl, but she saw a dangerous fire glow in her eyes and couldn't help but shiver. Like last time. Behind the gentle eyes were eyes that saw the trauma and evil of the world. The old witch could have sworn she felt the blood boil in her body as she watched the fire in the red-haired girl's eyes. But as soon as the girl blinked, everything returned to normal and a slight smile appeared, the light shining in her honey-gold eyes again.

After revealing a bit of their past and taking the dagger out of the gray vein covered body, Klaus ignored Stefan's words as he turned towards the little witch and asked. ''Do you want to come with us?''
She shook her head at him with a small smile. ''Probably not, enjoy remembering your past.''
Klaus nodded slowly and smiled at her in return. ''You can wait at the bar, we'll be back in a few hours,'' he made sure Adreanna had safely entered the bar before waving to the two vampires and leading the way to Stefan's old apartment. So many secrets to uncover.
Adreanna sat on a bar stool, trying not to draw attention to herself the entire time. Which she managed to do, until after two hours of sitting, Gloria walked up to her and handed her a drink while she remained standing there in front of her with her hands on her hips. The red-haired girl sighed and pushed her glass away from her before looking at the older witch.
