*A Few Hours Later- Klaus's Family Mansion- The Family Room- A Meeting/An Ambush/A Revelation*

Elijah wipes, his hand, off, with a white handkerchief and glares at Klaus, angry, but he comments with, a, smile, "You seem, surprised, to see me? So, it wasn't you, who removed the dagger, from my chest?" He takes a step forward to him and Klaus nods and retorts with a smile, "You look like, you could, use, a drink? And, we have, a lot, to discuss, so, shall we?" He points, to the chair, as a gesture, for him, to, sit, but Elijah doesn't and drops the handkerchief on the floor and he lunges over, to him and punches him, in the face and then grabs him, by the legs and throws him, into the doorway, to the living room, and it breaks, in the process. Klaus growls upset and comments angry now, "Easy, Elijah! I just finished renovating, this place..." He flashes over to him and tackles him, to the ground and onto a table, and, in the process, it breaks. Klaus stands and recalls with a smile and says sternly, "You know, you have, every right, to be, mad at me? But, I kept, my word. 'I reunited you, with the rest, of our family', like, you, asked!" He laughs and Elijah flashes up, to his feet and punches him, in the face, twice and then, kicks him, in the private area and Klaus hits into Finns coffin and then into Kol's and lifts the lid, open, and grabs the dagger, from Kol's body, quick and uses it, as a weapon, against, Elijah and holds him, down against Finn's coffin, by the throat and he retorts tired now, "Don't, make me, do this, to you, again, Elijah!" Elijah nods and remarks with a smile and he says sternly, "Use it, I dare you? And, then. You'll, have, Kol, to deal, with!" Klaus sighs in defeat and puts his arm down and he reveals serious, "Mikael is dead." Elijah stands and looks surprised now. He removes his arm and he retorts in shock, "What, did you, just say, to me?!" Klaus nods and admits with a smile and says sternly, "I killed him, with his own weapon. He's gone, Elijah. Forever!" He nods and then comments to Kol and Finn sad, now, "Then, why, does our family, remain in these coffins? Finn for over 900 years. Kol for over, a-a Century!" Klaus sighs and reveals upset, "Because of Stefan Salvatore. He holds the one thing, keeping me, from freeing them!" Elijah looks astonished and confused, as he continues and he reveals sternly, "There are things, you do not, know, about our past, Elijah! About our mothers death? Things that, I never wanted you, to know, but I am ready, to tell you, now." Elijah says nothing, still angry, but nods, simmering down, a little. Klaus walks over, to a small, light brown, wooden table, in the room and he stands behind it and takes a silver lid, of a silver vase, of Mikael's ashes and continues with a smile, "I only ask, that you remember, the oath of Loyalty, you once, swore to me, a thousand years ago?" Elijah says nothing, and looks worried now, as to what, he's about to do. He dips the dagger, in the ashes and then, walks over, to Kol's body and Elijah shakes his head and comments confused, now, "Niklaus. What, are you, doing?!" He says nothing, and plunges the dagger back, in Kol's chest and, then, lets go of it, faces him and comments with a smile and says done, 'Always and Forever.' He takes a step forward and admits serious, "I need you, to stand by, my side? Be my brother. Help me, destroy Stefan, and I promise you, that our family, will be whole, again!" Elijah nods, in agreement, but says, nothing, still in shock, processing and contemplating, his thoughts, as Klaus shuts the coffin and he walks past him, done, for the night.

*The Next Day, in The Morning, The Gilbert's House- The Kitchen- A Meeting/The Porch- A Revelation*

Elena walks in, from just, taking a jog. Her hair, is in, a ponytail. She's wearing, a light purple jacket, a black tank top and black leggings and black and white tennis shoes, on. She sees Alaric, near the-the counter, looking through cabinets, for something. She speaks and comments with a smile, "Morning, Ric." He's wearing, a light grey shirt, black jeans and brown boots, on. He nods and asks sternly, now, "Where, do you, hide, the Aspirin?" She looks surprised now, but retorts with a smile, "The cabinets, across from the fridge." He nods and walks over, to the cabinet and opens it, as she opens the fridge, and takes out, a pitcher, of water, and then, walks past, the table and over to the counter, where the coffee machine, is. She sees an empty cup and empty bottle, of Bourbon Neat, on the table and she comments with a smile, figuring it out, now, "You're hungover." He nods and admits sadly, "Yea. Sorry, about that! I, um, been, a late night..." She pours, some water, into the machine and then she pours, herself, some coffee and into, a glass cup. He takes, four pills and swallows it, down, as, she shakes, her head, puts the pitcher, down and faces him, upset now, "I told you, you don't, have to feel guilty, for, inviting, Meredith, over here!" She grabs her glass of coffee and takes a sip of it, with a smile. He grabs his red mug and drinks from it and then, sits it, back down. He nods, looks over to her and, he retorts with a smile, "I know. And, I thank you, for that." She nods and joins him, as he continues and, admits with a smile, "But I do feel, a little guilty, for Whiskey dialing, her, at the 2. AM." She shakes, her head, retorts with a smile and comments, in disbelief, now, "Oh no, you didn't?!" He nods and, admits with a smile, "Oh yes, I did." She laughs and so does he. She nods and she asks with a smile, "Mm. Did you, call her?" He sighs and he admits sadly, but he, assures her, with a smile, "Well, as, soon, as I remember, the conversation? I'll let you, know." She shakes her head and smiles.

Suddenly, the doorbell rings, and she puts down, her cup, and walks past him, and, goes through the living room and over to, the front door, and he follows, after her. They walk, onto the porch, to find, Sheriff Forbes, there, in uniform and she's holding, a bag, of evidence, in her hands and they look, surprised and confused, as to why, she's here. Elena speaks and comments, with a smile, "Oh. Sheriff Forbes, Hi." She nods and says nothing, as Elena continues and asks, worried, now, "Is everything, k?" Liz shakes her head and admits sadly, "This is an unconventional conversation, were about, to have, so I hope, you protect me, on it?" Elena nods and says nothing and Alaric nods and retorts with a, smile, "Of course." Liz nods and continues, "I'm certain, you've, both, had heard, that our medical examiner, was murdered, the night, of The Wickery Bridge Fundraiser?" He nods and recalls sadly, "Yea. Brian Walters. Why?" She nods and explains, with a smile, "Well. We've been, investigating and, somebody, drove this stake, through his heart?" They look surprised and say nothing, in shock. Alaric, looks at the stake, in the bag, carefully and he recognizes it. He speaks and comments astonished, now, "Its one of ours. Its one, of the sets, from your parents lake-house, Elena." She looks surprised, and worried, now, as Liz nods and admits sadly, "That's why, I'm here. Look, I haven't, told, anyone! But forensics ran it, for prints and we've found, only one, clean set?" Elena nods and says nothing, confused. Liz notices, nods and reveals sternly, "Yours." She looks shocked now and she comments confused, "What?!"

*Back at The Witches House/The Gilbert's House- The Living Room- A Meeting/An Ambush*

Damon is on his way, to meet, Elijah. He's on the phone, with Elena, now. He's wearing, a black leather jacket, purple t-shirt, black jeans and black boots, on. He speaks, nods and he comments with a smile, impressed now, "So, you're, our prime suspect, huh?" He laughs. Elena is in the living room and she's standing, behind a chair, at the end, of the table. She speaks and admits annoyed now, "She doesn't, think, that I did it! She's just trying, to find out, why someone, would use, one of my familys weapons, to kill, a council member?" Alaric walks in, carrying, his black duffle bag, in his hands and he drops it, on the table and unzips it. Damon walks, through, the forest of trees and over to, the witches house, as he responds and he recalls with a smile, "Well. Why, don't you, just ask Ric, if his dirty, little doctor, got, her hands, on it?" Alaric takes out, the weapons and lays them down, on the table, in order and, he comments pissed off, now, "You're, on speakerphone, dick!" Damon sighs and retorts with a smile, "Look, I'm just saying, first suspects, are usually, the right ones. Don't get, so Defensive!" He shakes, his head and reveals serious and comments tired now, "Brian Walters was killed, days ago. Alright! I didnt show Meredith, this stuff, until last night." Elena shakes her head, takes her scrunchie band off, and admits with a smile, "It wasn't Meredith!" She runs, her fingers, through her hair, as she lets out, freely, now. Damon continues walking and recalls with a smile, now, "Brian Walters was Meredith's ex-boyfriend and Ric saw them, fighting and if she killed him, it was probably, Self-Defense." Elena sighs, annoyed, now and retorts tired, "It wasn't Meredith! K, Damon." Alaric sits, as she looks over to him, and retorts with a smile, "I refuse, to believe, your love life, is that tragic?" He nods and retorts with a, smile, "Thanks." She nods and then, Damon speaks and asks sternly, "Well. Who else knows, about, your little secret, slayer stash?" Alaric sighs and remarks with a smile, now, "Well, who doesn't. I got, weapons, everywhere! Here, the school. My locker, your car?" Damon sighs and retorts sadly now, "What, if its Klaus? It has to be him; he's screwing, with us." Elena responds and asks curious now, "What, if it was, Stefan? He was acting, crazy, that night. You know, he was trying to, get underneath, Klaus's skin? He was pretty much, capable, of anything!" Damon nods and remarks with a smile and, he comments unfazed now, "This makes me, nostalgic for the times, when, Stefan, was... a bunny- smacking-Pacifist! Anyways, I gotta go." Alaric nods and asks curious now, "Hey, where, are you?"

Damon sees Elijah, there and smiles. He responds and admits with a smile, to Alaric, "Having tea, with, an old friend!" He hangs up. Elijah is wearing, a navy-blue, suit, a blue t-shirt, with black stripes, a blue tie and black dress shoes, on. Elijah smiles at him as he greets him, "Elijah. My favorite Original, back from the dead. You clean up nice?" Elijah nods, takes out, a piece of paper, from his jacket pocket and, comments with a smile, "You left, something, in my jacket pocket." Damon walks over, to him and he recalls with a smile, "Yeah; 'Dear Elijah, let's get together, over the destruction, of your brother. XOXO...' Elijah shakes his head and comments serious now, "...Damon." He sighs, takes the paper back and he asks sadly, now, "Was, I right, to undagger you or are we, gonna have, a problem?!" Elijah shakes his head and remarks with a smile, but comments sternly, "Well, I'm here, so let's talk." Damon nods and, he asks curious now, "Well. I'll start, with an easy question, first? Any idea, what kind, of Klaus, killing weapon, can be magically, sealed, in a mystery coffin?" Elijah smiles and explains.

*Back at The Lockwood Cellar/The Cave and Underground Tunnels- Evening- An Ambush/A Meeting*

Abby and Bonnie, are following, after Stefan, down the tunnels and through the cave, as he's in, a, rushed hurry. Stefan is wearing, a brown jacket, a black t-shirt, brown jeans and black boots, on. Bonnie's hair is straight and flat-ironed. She's wearing, a black leather jacket, a red top, black pre-ripped jeans and red sandals, on. She's carrying, a black bag, on her right shoulder. Abby's hair is, wavy and curled. She's wearing, a brown leather jacket, a light blue top, black jeans and navy-blue, heels on. She's carrying, a handbag, on her right arm, with her grimoire, of spells, inside. She speaks, and she complains upset now, "Slow down, for god sakes?!" He shakes his head and he continues, walking, in a fast pace and yells serious, "You witches and yall comments about Nature? You guys, should know, better, than to, wear heels? You're not, slowing me, down, Abby. Keep up or I'll drag you, by the hair, we don't, have much, time!" Bonnie sighs and apologizes sad, now, "Stefan, I'm sorry. I had no choice. My brother, could've died!" He shakes his head and recalls with a smile and he says, angry, "No. You had, a choice, Bonnie. You made it and now, we all have, to live, with it!" He turns a, corner and continues, upset, "You told Klaus, where the coffins were, and he took them." He stops at, the entrance, of the cave, where he can't get in and he leans against the wall, comfortable and then, points his flashlight, at the coffin and he comments with a smile, "All of them, except, this one!" He smirks. Bonnie takes the flashlight, from him, upset, as they go in and walk over, to the locked coffin. Abby comments in shock, now and she asks sternly, "That's the one, that's sealed?" He nods and says, sadly, "Yep. Fortunately, it seems to be the one, he cares about, the most?" Abby nods and then looks, over, to him and retorts, confused, now, "Aren't you, coming, inside?" He shakes his head and reveals, in frustration, "Vampires can't get in. Damon had to compel, a couple of Lockwood gardeners to bring the coffin, inside!" She looks back to coffin and she retorts worried now, "Oh, this is bad idea?" Bonnie drops her flashlight, on the ground and then opens her bag and takes out, two candles and shows to, them, with a smile. Stefan takes a step forward and he recalls with a smile, "If you're, really the key, to opening up, that, coffin?" She looks over to him, as he continues, "Well, then. I'd say, its a pretty fair, bet, that you're, on, Klaus's hitlist!" Abby glares at him, upset now and says nothing, as he continues, and says sternly, "So, I suggest, you hide out here and figure out, how to open the damn thing?!" She shakes her head and she retorts annoyed, now and informs him, serious, "I told you. I don't, have any, powers, you monstrous asshole!" He laughs and then, he retorts with a smile, "And, I told you. I don't, believe you!" She glares at him upset and says nothing, angry, as he continues, and informs her, tired, "Now, the clock, is ticking! It won't be long, before Klaus, call his hybrids, to find that coffin and kill all of us?" Bonnie glares at him, upset, as he continues and he remarks done, now, "So, dig deep, Abagail Bennett and scrape out, whatever magic, you have, left?!" She glares at him, pissed off and then, she looks back, to coffin, curious.

He leaves and steps inside, the cellar and sees Elena, there and he looks surprised now and he says, nothing, in shock. Her hair is straight and flat-ironed. She's wearing, a brown sweater, with a hood, to it, a blue top, navy-blue jeans and black tennis shoes, on. She moves a lock, of her hair, behind her, left ear and looks at him, worried. He takes a step forward, to her, and comments, not in the mood, "What, are you, doing, here?!" She nods and explains sternly, "Bonnie told me, that youd guys, would, be here." She crosses her arms and admits serious, "I need to, talk to you?" He shakes his head and he retorts with a smile, now, "Well, there's nothing, to talk about! I'm just focused, on getting this coffin, open?" He starts to leave and she asks curious, "Did you, kill the medical examiner?" He stops in shock and turns to her, with a smirk and he comments in disbelief now, "Now, why would you, think, I did, that?!" She sighs, uncrosses her arms and admits sadly, "Maybe, because, I don't know, what, you're, capable, of anymore?" He nods and retorts done, "Well, believe, whatever, the hell, you want, Elena!" He turns to leave again, as she shakes her head and admits sad, "I don't, believe any of this, Stefan!" He nods, faces back to her and he comments hurt now, "But you, had to f-ing ask me, anyway?!" He glares at her, angry. She shakes her head and comments sadly, "Stefan..." He cuts her off and retorts, sadly, "Did you ask, Damon. If he's, killed somebody, lately?" She says nothing and glares at him hurt. He nods and retorts tired, "Of course not." He leaves, pissed off.

*Back at The Mystic Falls Hospital- The Waiting Room- A Meeting/An Ambush*

Caroline is waiting, for Dr. Fell, to show up. Her hair is flowing, in luxurious curls now. She's wearing, a black jacket vest, a red top, with a black line design, to it, red pre-ripped jeggings and black boots on. Meredith's hair is wavy and flat-ironed. She comes out, of a patients room, wearing, a white lab coat, royal blue scrubs and white tennis shoes, on. She sees Caroline, near the counter and she goes over, to her and taps her, on the right shoulder and Caroline faces her, as she speaks and asks sternly, "Are you, Caroline?" Caroline nods and retorts with a smile, "Yes. Oh? Dr Fell, hi. Elena, told me, that you, helped out, my dad?" She nods and admits, with a smile, "I did. Do you, think, you can get him, to be, a little bit, more, grateful? I mean, he-he spent, half the night, threatening to, get my medical license, revoked, for saving, his life!" She sighs and apologizes, with, a smile and reveals sadly, "Yea. My dad's, a little set, in his ways..." Meredith looks surprised and confused by that, as she continues and she explains, "He's spent, his whole life, hating, vampires." So Meredith nods in understanding and she comments with a smile, "So, he's not, exactly psyched, about it, being Vampire Blood, that healed, him. Yeah, he made that, very clear! I'm sorry, my bedside, manner sucks, on no sleep." Caroline nods, and says nothing. She walks past her and over, to a room, looking, at her clipboard, in her hands and, Caroline follows, after her and asks curious now, "Um... So, can I, take him, home?" Meredith puts her pen, away, in shock, now, looks back to her, confused and she reveals with a smile, now, "I signed, his discharged papers, late last night, just to, shut him up." She looks surprised, by that, and comments, sadly, now, "Oh. I, um, God, he didn't call or anything?" She laughs, nervously. Meredith nods, she, comments sadly, but remarks with a smile, "That's got to be hard? When, your dad, hates the one, thing, you can't change about yourself." Caroline looks astonished, now and says nothing, in shock. She notices, and, whispers, with a smile and informs her, sternly, "I make it, my business, to know, who, the Supernaturals are, in this town. Medical Curiosity. I don't blab!" Caroline nods and admits, with a smile, "Yea, we've, had, our ups and downs." Meredith nods and retorts done, "Yea. Tell your dad, I said, you're welcome?" She walks past her and leaves. Caroline nods and retorts with a smile, "Thanks."

Caroline turns a corner and takes out, her cell phone. She sees Elena waiting, for her, leaned against, a wall, with her arms, crossed. She's wearing, a black jacket vest, with silver buttons, down, the middle, a royal blue tank top, black pre-ripped jeans and black knee-high boots, on. She's carrying, a light, dark, brown bag, over, her right shoulder. She speaks and she comments, with, a smile, impressed, "That, was, fast." Caroline nods and admits with a smile, "Yea. He's not, here. He was, already, discharged?" They walk, down the hall, together and continue talking. She continues and recalls about Meredith, with a smile, "And, she seems, perfectly, nice, by the way? A little intense, maybe. But I think, its sweet, you want, to make sure, that Alaric's not, dating a total psycho?" She puts her phone, to her ear, as, she dials her father's number. Elena nods and retorts with a smile and admits sadly, now, "Well. He's, my family. I have to look out, for him?" Caroline puts her hand, out, as a gesture and she
