"Well, isn't this cozy," Rebekah remarks, looking at the two figures lying under a blanket on the floor.

Davina cracks an eye open and smiles when she sees Rebekah. "Hey. Don't worry, we're clothed under here. Just couldn't be bothered to go upstairs."

"Bex, you're back already," Kol states, looking rather confused.

"Yes, well, I didn't want to miss any school," she sighs and touches up her hair in the mirror. This statement makes Davina burst out laughing.

"Wait, wait, you go to school? That's a bit odd, don't you think?"

"I'm trying to look and act like a completely normal teenager," Rebekah replies indignantly. "Something the two of you have no concept of."

Davina snorts and shakes her head in agreement. "You got that right. Why even bother with 'normal' when you can be extraordinary," she smirks.

"Also known as extra ordinary," Kol points out. "We're more normal than you are, considering we're not trying to fit in at high school."

"Oh, shut up, Kol. Just to let you know, there's going to be a party here in a few hours, so you best scatter. Unless, you know, you want to fit in with the teenagers." With that, Rebekah leaves the house. Kol and Davina exchange grins before standing up.

"Actually, there's something I want to do before we crash Rebekah's party. I kind of need your help to do it."

"And what's that, love?"

"We're going back to the house that Dahlia kept me trapped at to get Freya's body."

"What? Why would you want to do that?"

"For one, I'll feel better when I know that Freya isn't trapped in the same room as a psychotic witch. Dahlia will be able to track us anywhere we go, anyways. Plus, I kind of feel like burning something today," Davina smiles.

"I like where your thought process is at," Kol smirks.

Davina and Kol arrive at the town border with gallons of gasoline.

"Okay, now, I remember the direction I came from, but I'm not sure if the house was cloaked or not," Davina murmurs.

"Well, I remember scouring this area in search of you long ago and couldn't find anything. So, chances are, the house is, indeed, cloaked."

"Perfect," she deadpans. Davina thinks back to what she remembers about the surroundings near the house. "Um, there were a few stumps around the house. There was a lot of moss and twigs scattered around the area. I don't know, there was nothing special about the location."

"Okay. Since you remember the direction you came from, why don't we just start with that." Kol grabs several gallons of gasoline before they tread through the woods.

"I think this is the spot where the house was. I mean, it looks like it. Stumps, sticks, and moss..." Davina glances at Kol, who just shrugs.

"Try the spell, we'll see if anything becomes uncloaked."

Davina closes her eyes and holds her hands out, chanting something under her breath. When she opens them, she sees that she's standing on the rickety front porch. "First try," she cheers. Kol just smiles and they go inside. Davina finds the dark room where the coffins were located. "Okay, this is Freya's coffin." She peeks inside to make sure that Freya was still inside. "Yep."
