"You're back."

"I'm back."

"And now she is in the house." Kol said with a slightly scared look. "If he happens to give you a tour of the house, just remember it is still a house filled with vampires." He shook his head and started for the stairs.

"Nice to see you too, Kol." Elizabeth said shaking her head with a smile.

"It is nice to see you Lizzy." He said looking over his shoulder before disappearing upstairs.

"Ignore him," Rebekah said with a smile as she walked over and gave Elizabeth a hug. "Now if you excuse me, I am going to take my niece and smother her in love."

Elizabeth laughed and watched as Rebekah picked up Hope and took off into another room with her. When she turned to look at Elijah, he had been standing right in front of her now. She smiled up at him. "I didn't think I'd get to visit you again."

He ran his hand through her hair as he smiled down at her. "Neither did I." He admitted. 

After she had left the first time, Elijah had believed that they wouldn't get another visit from Elizabeth or Hope. They had accidentally found their way into this dream world with no real explanation as to how they had been able to. He and Freya had sat in the garden afterwards racking their brains as to how it was even possible. They had expected to be the only ones allowed into this world. There was no idea of knowing if the next time Hope and Elizabeth had tried to enter, if it would work at all the thoughts of not being able to have visitors, there she was standing in front of him. Just as the first time, he didn't believe that she was standing there in front of him. But being able to feel her emotions was proof enough that she was in fact that they had found a way back into the dream world.

He pulled her into a hug and held onto her tightly. She gladly accepted the hug and she wanted to stay in his embrace for long as possible. There was no telling how long they would be here this time. For all they knew, Rebekah could be walking back with Hope to tell them she was calling out for Hayley. It would be two soon for both of them.

"Why don't we go sit in the kitchen and have some tea?" Freya said as she stood from her seat and started to head into the kitchen.

"In a moment." Elijah said and Elizabeth chuckled as his hold on her tightened. Elijah had no intentions of letting Elizabeth go just yet.

"I promise I'm not just going to disappear." Elizabeth said smiling up at him. "I believe the warning system is with your sister." While Elizabeth wouldn't have minded staying like this the whole time, but she wanted to spend time with him and his more favorable sibling.

Elijah laughed and shook his head slightly before leaning down and kissing her softly. A moment later he pulled away and released her from his hold. While he had just released her from his embrace, she already missed it. She had felt safe and like she hadn't made the mistakes she had made while they were all awake and living in the real world. Elijah lead her into the kitchen and pulled out a chair for her at the table before taking the seat next to her. Freya walked over and placed a few cups down before pouring the hot tea into them.

"Now, before my siblings had interrupted our conversation," Freya said giving Elijah a look before looking over at Elizabeth. "We were talking about Hope."

"Right." Elizabeth said as she watched Freya take a seat across from them.

"I still don't see why I am able to come here with Hope, but with Hayley, she cant." Elizabeth said as she looked between Freya and Elijah.

"I am still curious as to how they are able to get visit." Elijah said.

Freya nodded and looked at Elizabeth a smile. "We had tried coming up with several different explanations as to how you two had been able to get passed that spell."

"I'd like to know as well." Elizabeth said. "Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love that we have been lucky enough to come and visit, I just thought it was supposed to be impossible."

"It was supposed to be." Elijah said before taking a drink from his cup.

"Hope is one of a kind." Freya said. "Maybe the spells work different with her?"

"There can be several explanations for this." Elizabeth said not knowing where they could even start on finding out why Hope had been able to break through Freya's spell."

Elizabeth watched as something clicked in Freya's mind. "Excuse me for a moment." She said before standing up and rushing out of the room.

An eyebrow raised on Elizabeth's face as she watched her leave before looking over at Elijah. He smiled at her and shrugged slightly.

"She is probably going to look for something in that room of hers." Elijah said.

"You make it sound as if her room is some wasteland." Elizabeth said with a chuckle.

"While my sister may be a witch, sometimes her room can be a bit stereotypical." He nodded.

"What about your room?" She asked. "Does it look exactly the same?"

"More or less." He said.

"Well that was before I decided to play interior designer and cleaned up the place." She said with a shake of her head.

"Was the place destroyed?" He asked with a raised eyebrow. It was then that Elizabeth realized she never did tell him that she had allowed the vampires to trash the place that night they had gone into their deep sleep.

"That night," She started, "I kind of allowed the vampires that were there to trash the place." She shrugged. "Technically, the compound was supposed to be condemned, but I pulled some strings and got it looking in the best shape it has ever been in."

He shook his head slightly. He would love to see what she had done to fix up the place. The compound had hardly change in his family's absence over the centuries except for the touches Marcel had added over time. But to hear that she had redone everything, it would be as if it was a new place entirely and he looked forward to seeing what touches she had added to it all.

"Besides redecorating, how is it out there?" He asked.

"I'm not going to lie to you," She said sighing. "It is a bit difficult out there. It feels like I have this weight on my shoulders and no matter what I do, nothing lifts it." She shook her head slightly. "I've been dealing with the city's problems as well as trying to fix all the wrongs I have done and find the cures. But around every corner that I turn, there seems to be something else that adds into the list and sets me back."

"I am sure this is just a momentary set back." He said trying to comfort her. "It will all work out like it is supposed to."

"Its almost been a year, Elijah. A year that you have been in this deep sleep. I thought I'd have the cures by now."

"What is the status on that?" He asked curiously.

"Freya's cure is close to being done. Lily has been more than generous when it comes to this." She sighed softly. "And I am still trying to figure out where to start on how to find your cure. There are endless possibilities of doing this, but choosing the right one is what makes it so much harder."

"Your afraid." There was something in the way she had sighed and the way there was the fear that had began to build through their bond. He hated that she was afraid of something. Even though she was now the feared one, he knew there were things out there that still had her afraid. It made him want to be out there with her instead of being in this dream world.

"I'm afraid of failing." She admitted. While she was afraid of a particular vision that had been playing through her mind lately, she wasn't going to tell him that though. "I'm afraid that I won't be able to find this cure and wake you up. I'm also afraid that I will mess up somehow and I wont get you back."

"You wont fail." He said placing his hand on her cheek. "I have faith in you." He kissed leaned in and kissed her forehead.

"You have to much faith in me." She said as she leaned into his hand and smiled up at him. He chuckled and shook his head. "I'm serious. I've screwed up big time and look where that has us."

"Imagine if it had been Marcel that still had the serum." Elijah pointed out. "It would probably be a whole lot worse."

"Or we would be in the same position just because of someone else." She shrugged.

"No matter how it would have played out, I'd like to think we are here for a reason." Elizabeth rose an eyebrow.

"Really?" She asked. "What reason is that?"

"To come out of this stronger." He said watching her. "This whole situation has brought my family a lot closer. While it may be that Niklaus is elsewhere, I am sure that when the cures are found and we are all reunited, we will be a stronger family."

Elizabeth smiled at him. Though it didn't reach the full smile that Elijah had been used to and he had noticed it right away. He opened his mouth to question why, but she simply shook her head. "That will be amazing to see, if I knew that it was soon." She said trying not to think of what the future held.

Elijah wanted to ease her mind in some way. "Maybe if you spoke to Jess?" He asked.

"I already know to much about the future." She said shaking her head. "Knowing more of the details isn't going to change anything." The closer she got to certain points in the visions, the more detailed they would be if Jess had showed her. While she would love a countdown for when she would find the cure for him, she did not wish to know when it would be that she would walk to the one place she knew was now inevitable.

It was then that Elijah knew what it was that Elizabeth was really afraid of. "You are afraid of that door."

She only nodded at first. "The longer I can stay away from it the better."

"Are you ever going to tell me what happened while you were there?" Elijah did want to know. He wanted to know why she was so afraid of a place that place. She only ever told him it was a place that had been the worse time in her existence.

"Maybe the next time I get the chance to visit." She said softly. She still wasn't ready to explain the horrible details of her past. "I promise." She made the promise not knowing when exactly when the next time would be. For all she knew it could be another two months before she was able to get back into the dream world. Elijah nodded taking her hand and kissing the back of it. Elizabeth smiled as she watched him do so. He smiled back at her and Elizabeth could see that he was thinking about something. "What is it?" She asked.

"I have to admit I miss being able to feel your emotions." He said as he ran his thumb over her knuckles. "I never thought I would be so used to it. In the last year, I have felt nothing except for when you arrive here."

"I just feel you sleeping." Elizabeth admitted. "I can feel that your body is asleep, but its not like before." She sighed softly. "Its like a heavier feeling, that I can feel that you are in this deep sleep, but I don't feel any of your emotions while you are in here."

"One of the many things I look forward to when this is all over is being able to feel your presence again." He said nodding.

"I'm looking forward to that as well." She said smiling at him.

"I think I got it." Freya said walking back into the kitchen with a grimoire. When Elizabeth seen it in Freya's hand, an eyebrow rose as she watched Freya sit across from them.

"You added copies of your grimoires into the spell?" Elizabeth asked.

Elijah laughed. "She couldn't resist."

"I can tell." Elizabeth said with a smile as she looked over to Freya. "Now what was it you've found."

"I think I've found the reason why you and Hope can get through the spell." She said as she looked down at the page. "I believe that since the spell required our blood to be linked and placed into this dream world, Hope having Mikaelson blood in her veins should give her the ability to come and go as she pleases."

"What is stopping her then?" Elizabeth asked. "She should be able to do it on her own or bring Hayley with her at least."

"I also made the spell so that no one else should be able to enter, especially witches." Freya said with a nod. "Which is why she cannot get here on her own."

"But that does not explain why when she is with Elizabeth, they both can enter." Elijah said looking at Freya.

"She's using Elizabeth as more of a loophole to the spell." Freya said.

"How?" Elizabeth asked confused.

"You were turned by Elijah's blood, Mikaelson blood. Which makes it a bit easier for you to enter. But the biggest thing that she is using is your bond with Elijah." Freya said with a nod. "If we weren't currently in a deep sleep as we are, you'd be able to enter his dreams. But since you cannot, you would need the help of magic to get here on your own. She's going through you to get the both of you here."

"She's a smart kid." Elizabeth said shaking her head slightly. "So blood is the key to this, isn't it?"

Freya nodded. "Pretty much." She said. "I have to give it to her, she already knows loopholes to centuries old spells."

"And she is also quite sleepy." Rebekah said walking into the kitchen with Hope in her arms.

They all looked over to see Hope was looking tired. Her lids were heavy and currently resting her head on Rebekah's shoulder.

"What do you think will happen when she actually falls asleep?" Elizabeth asked looking over at Freya.

Freya shrugged slightly. "I guess we will find out soon." Rebekah came and sat down at the table across from Elijah and Elizabeth as she kept Hope close to her. "But now that we know you two are able to visit, don't be a stranger, Liz."

"I'll try not to be." Elizabeth said with a smile before looking over at Elijah.

Elijah smiled at her and squeezed her hand tightly before they both turned their attention to Hope. They all had watched as young girl closed her eyes and looked completely comfortable in Rebekah's arms. It was a nice sight to see. A moment of peace and even though this was nowhere being close to the real thing, this whole time in the dream world had felt like a perfect visit. It was the piece of Heaven in the Hell that awaited for Elizabeth when she returned to the real world.

When Elizabeth opened her eyes in the real world, she looked down at Hope and seen that she was fast asleep on her shoulder. A smile played on Elizabeth's face as she kissed her forehead before looking over at Elijah. "Until next time." She said sighing before closing the lid to the coffin. She turned and walked back up the stairs. Elizabeth found Hayley sitting in the living room with a book and when she entered the room, Hayley looked up from it and seen the surprised look on her face.

"She fell asleep?" Hayley asked as she stood up.

Elizabeth smiled and nodded. "She had a little to much fun with her Aunt Bex."

Hayley raised an eyebrow before realization came over her. "You were able to go back."

"Yeah." Elizabeth said looking down at Hope. "Freya thinks she has the explanation as to why we are able to ."

"What would that be?" Hayley asked as she held out her arms to take Hope and Elizabeth handed her over. Hayley began walking toward's Hope's room and Elizabeth followed.

"When Freya did the spell, she connected them all by blood. Hope has the Mikaelson blood running through her veins. With her being a witch she should be able to see them as she pleases." Elizabeth started to explain.

"But when she tries on her own, she can't get there." Hayley said as she placed Hope into her bed.

"Which is where I come in." Elizabeth shrugged slightly. "I was turned by Elijah's blood and with our bond, I should easily be able to enter his mind, but with the spell up I cant do it on my own."

"But with both of you together, you can easily do it." Hayley said nodding as lead Elizabeth out of the room.

Elizabeth had only nodded as she followed her out. "Apparently, I am the loophole that Hope found to Freya's spell." Once they were back in the living room, they both sat on the couch. "If you could have seen her in there." Elizabeth said with a smile. "She was so excited to be there. And when Rebekah took her away to spend some time with her, she had this huge smile on her face."

Hayley smiled. "I suppose she'll always have a connection with Rebekah since she did raise her for the first year. How are they?"

"Having one long vacation." Elizabeth said with a small chuckle. "Freya put in a lake when she created that dream world."

"Seriously?" Hayley laughed. "It sounds perfect there."

"If you like spending every waking moment with your siblings." Elizabeth said shaking her head. "Freya says there are times she wishes there were others there with them."

"I bet." Hayley shook her head. "I cant imagine being there with no one else to talk to."

"But this whole thing is letting them sort out their differences and is making them whole as a family." Elizabeth said with a small smile.

"Maybe when they wake up, we wont see them at each other's throats." Elizabeth laughed at Hayley's words.

"Lets just hope they don't do something to really piss each other off after they wake. Or else it will be like nothing ever changed." Elizabeth smiled and rested her head back on the couch. "This is bringing us closer than I thought."

"It has." Hayley said with a nod.

Both women knew they had grown closer even though the visits were limited and spaced out as they were. At the beginning, they were pretty much against each other. While Elizabeth probably had earned the hate from Hayley in the beginning for what she had done, but now things were different. And if things kept going the way it had been, maybe when they got the cures and everyone was awake, they would be a close family. They would be able to handle whatever came after. They all would be stronger.
