It's a beautiful day, as I walk through a meadow talking on my phone with Elena and Ric.554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3WSnjX8jl
"So you're the prime suspect, huh?"554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0ssexBj9L
"She doesn't think that I did it. She's just trying to find out why somebody used one of my family weapons to kill a council member," Elena replies.554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjaI44jjLOs
"Well why don't you just ask Ric if his dirty little doctor had access to the weapons," I say.554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBF9GZ5ja84
"You're on speaker phone, dick," Alaric interjects.554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWaJdj0BCc1
"I'm just saying first suspect she's the right one. Don't get so defensive," I explain.554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFN9gkRWj6R
"Brian Walters was killed days ago, right? I didn't show Meredith this stuff until last night!" Alaric says.554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcHxpFJZGQ
"It wasn't Meredith," Elena says.554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2U3b3eb12I
"But Brian Walters was her ex-boyfriend and Ric saw them fighting that night," Damon replies.554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1clmWb1iS
"It's not Meredith! Okay? I refuse to believe that your luck with women is that tragic," Elena responds.554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCAwvSDrde
"Who else knows about your secret slayer stash?" I ask.554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQifNv9JXtx
"A dozen. I got weapons everywhere, here, the school, my loft, your car."554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5UAy56UdI
"It's Klaus. It has to be, he's screwing with us," I reply.554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwj26RXDUuv
"What if it was Stefan?" Elena asked. "He was crazy that night, and you know he was trying to get under Klaus' skin, he was capable of pretty much anything."554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgamaUS1hNL
"Ahh, makes me nostalgic for the time Stefan was a bunny snacking pacifist, anyway got to go, tomorrow later."554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiiQxYvwMoG
"Hey, where are you?" Alaric asks me.554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGG14cy0YM
"Tea with an old friend," I reply.554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZqKnJYh6S
I hang up.554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyyjbbw3kdM
"Elijah, my favorite Original, back from the dead. Clean up nice," I greet him, as he walks towards me.554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtho8Djcv1
We stop when we stand not far from one another.554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSOzIFwshG
"You left something in my jacket pocket," Elijah says, a piece of paper in hand.554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MEucrE3zv
"Oh, yeah, "Dear Elijah, let's get together, thought of the destruction of your brother, XOXO."554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDQWrsQOuS
"Damon."554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbnpqNsKy9
"Was I right to undagger you or do we have a problem?"554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31515BAA15
"I'm here, let's talk."554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlufqGI8Unv
"I'll start with an easy question, any idea why Klaus' killing weapon would be magically sealed in a mystery coffin?"
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOKGwx49V1
Elijah opens the door to Klaus' house, me and Stefan with him.554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNo1nZzWIXh
"Niklaus, our guests have arrived," Elijah announces.554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ubMA4tKyE
"Damon. Stefan. Elijah tells me, you seek an audience. Very bold. Let's discuss the terms of our agreement like civilized men, shall we?"554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjRJasdOKt
"It's better to indulge him," Elijah tells us.554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnmBiQkOtf
"I didn't come here to eat, Klaus. Fact, I didn't want to come here at all. But I was told, I had to 'cause you would hear our sound," Stefan tells Klaus.554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFoCBOj69Db
"Well, we can sit and eat or I can reach down your throats and pull out your insides. The choice is yours," Klaus replies.554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7PL8j4FK9
Everyone except Stefan eat at the table.554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ009WONGJfK
"You lost your appetite," Klaus says.554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HJWIFjL1A
"Eat. I thought we agreed to leave grumpy Stefan at home," I say.554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFIA7CWvgcM
"Isn't it nice? The four of us dining together? Is that what you had in mind when you pulled the dagger from my brother?" Klaus says.554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGI5C2HnUX
"Oh no...I felt about you so...I figured the more the merrier!" I rejoindered.554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwYBTiy6EO
"Elijah and I we have our quarrels over the centuries, but we always make it through."554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvH2TMwhGFf
"Kinda like you and Rebekah, right? Where is she by the way? Last I checked she was daggered because you were afraid to face her," Stefan retorts.554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3q95zE44S
"If you are referring to the fact that Rebekah knows that I killed our mother, I've already come clean to Elijah."554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYFU928pID
"Hey Stef, remember when you killed dad? Might wanna doubt on the judgment desert," I tell my brother.554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEajbOzuAVo
"We're here to make a deal, Damon. That doesn't mean we have to kiss his ass for seven courses."554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMAexD2ddK
"I'm just saying we have a long evening ahead of us, face yourself," I answer.554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbTT0EYzbJA
"Stefan, where is the lovely Elena tonight?" Elijah asks.554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRo74Mdtst
"I don't know. Ask Damon."554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMRx8NAyR9
Klaus laughs.554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohL6RyIxu3
Elijah looks surprised.554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtaPUTKp07
"I'm sorry. You missed so much. Ahh...trouble in paradise."554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjrC4yowVLT
"One more word about Elena and this dinner is over," Stefan comments.554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhe6A8ms8f
"You know what? Probably it's best just to keep Elena in the Do Not Discuss pile," I interject.554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijYDTR87Em
"You're probably right," Klaus agrees. "It's just the lure of the Petrova doppelgänger is still so strong. What do you say, brother? Should we tell them about Tatia?"554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwAQ006ttT
"No, why should we discuss matters long since resolved?"554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgxtcwk74v
"Oh, give them both a shared attraction for Elena and Katerina, I think they must be curious to learn about the original of the Petrova line."554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVISpt4t8yO
"We're not going anywhere, Elijah. Please! Do tell," I rebut.554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtAcft99o5
"When our family first settled here, there was a girl named Tatia. She was an exquisite beauty. Every boy her age desired to be her suitor; even though she'd had a child by another man. And no one loved her more than Klaus," Elijah explains.554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4dEEyQqilj
"Ah, I said there's one who loved her just as much."554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjo0sWrNee8
"Wait a minute, so you both loved the same girl?" Stefan asks.554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡklsw4eB1J0
"Our mother was a very powerful witch," Elijah explains. "She saw our love for Tatia and she took her. Klaus and I would later learn that it was Tatia's blood that we consumed in the wine of the night when our mother performed a spell which turned us into vampires. Tatia wouldn't make a decision between the two of us so for a time Niklaus and I grew estranged harsh truth traded we even came to blows. Didn't we, brother?"554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGdXEwPfSS
"But in the end we recognized the secret bond of family."
"Family of paver," Elijah says, raising a glass.554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXaw5cAULdE
"Family of paver," Klaus echoes.554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyooV9ubb2N
"So what do we look at this evening along, and discuss the terms of this proposal," Elijah announces.554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNwU4TUgJT
"That's very simple. Klaus gets his coffin back and in exchange he and the original extended family leave Mystic Falls forever. Me, Stefan and Elena live happily ever after. No grudges," I reply.554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1ahySUJdd
"Sounds fair," Elijah comments.554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4o0IWiQ7Jv
"I don't think you understand Elena's doppelgänger blood ensures that I will always have hybrids to fight those that abode me. I will never leave her behind. Well say I do leave her and you protect her and what then? How long until one of you turns her into a vampire? Or worse. How long before she dies? Count between you two. You see each one of you believes that he is the one that can protect her. Nice simply at the illusion. Gentlemen. The worst thing for Elena Gilbert is the two of you."554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkY3phAavzP
"I'm gonna get some air," I say.554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQdVTdWqIv
"I'll deal with this," Elijah responds.554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMB08oD49J
"And this talk has made me thirsty. What do you say Stefan? Can I interest you with my love to do a drink?" Klaus asks, as Elijah and I step out.554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡccjxJEJlJy
"What's wrong?" Elijah asks.554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkhaFPOPaT
"What do you think?" I reply.554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOIZjdbi3Ng
"The sooner we resolve this, the sooner you two can leave here," he assures me.554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQsl83GeHXR
"I know," I reply to him.554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ahNCQf0zf
I sigh, before I walk back inside with him.
"What do you say, Klaus? I'm here to put something on the table. We've made our offer. Now you count on," I say, coming back in with Elijah.554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmEq9OsrIQ
"Okay. I offer Elena's future happiness, you see what she needs right now is to be rid of you lot, and to fall in love with a human, maybe that football player."554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYwdpvADsT
"Matt Donovan? Really?" I say.
"Yeah. Why not? They marry, live a long life and make a family."554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6eBHiJ5Ev
"And continue the Petrova bloodline, every few hundred years you'll have a doppelgänger for you to drain and you never run out of hybrids, right Klaus?" Stefan says.554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKyT0F5CzCk
"Consider it a small return on my investment in her well-being. See after you hand me back the coffin, I'll ensure her safety for the rest of her natural life, you know it's what's best for her."554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWjrcx8uTV
"So what do you say, Stefan? Do we have a deal?"554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIsXYRTNDF
They walk towards each other.554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjiUGJVwxO
Klaus holds his hand out and Stefan takes it.554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomJPItJXX3
"Nice try, Klaus, but no deal."554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSnu0bE58i
Klaus grabs Stefan's arm and holds his hand in the fireplace in the fire and his hand starts to burn.554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKOicE92h0
"What are you doing?" I ask Klaus.554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvVErERJwn
"Bring me the coffin, or he dies."554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2OQssF8Rr
Just then, Elijah comes back in the room with an undaggered Esther, Rebekah, and Kol.554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8cFDjwB0l
Esther walks up to Klaus.554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0YOMt68sx
"Do you know why I'm here?" she asks him.554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsj2fl57Iu
"To kill me," Klaus replies.554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmRFpOhG1Z
"You are my son, Niklaus. I'm here to forgive you," she answers him.
It's a dark night, as Stefan and I walk through the woods.554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCN9kyrANf
"You could've just left me to die there and you would've had Elena all to yourself. Why didn't you?" Stefan says.554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4Y1MFUpRP
"I didn't do it on your account."554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULBwLGeY4e
"I love her, Damon."554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqpPUDVWqi
"So do I."554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0p1WdGyvzE
I look at him and then walk away.
