It's a beautiful day, as I walk through a meadow talking on my phone with Elena and Ric.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsw2g1Gi3iz
"So you're the prime suspect, huh?"555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBp8ctjgbYR
"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.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2E32eu2bh
"Well why don't you just ask Ric if his dirty little doctor had access to the weapons," I say.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTsIbdSOWGC
"You're on speaker phone, dick," Alaric interjects.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLg1AmqWn8U
"I'm just saying first suspect she's the right one. Don't get so defensive," I explain.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5D9aLLI3c
"Brian Walters was killed days ago, right? I didn't show Meredith this stuff until last night!" Alaric says.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCpsI3Frb1
"It wasn't Meredith," Elena says.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu19ibOJXU2
"But Brian Walters was her ex-boyfriend and Ric saw them fighting that night," Damon replies.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaS0lNOSHbo
"It's not Meredith! Okay? I refuse to believe that your luck with women is that tragic," Elena responds.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVN8TpCUdFr
"Who else knows about your secret slayer stash?" I ask.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzaiAMCQZc0
"A dozen. I got weapons everywhere, here, the school, my loft, your car."555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTyhBhtFPJ
"It's Klaus. It has to be, he's screwing with us," I reply.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEfnFCzQRn
"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."555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmVosD258n
"Ahh, makes me nostalgic for the time Stefan was a bunny snacking pacifist, anyway got to go, tomorrow later."555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqD3wiw9xxE
"Hey, where are you?" Alaric asks me.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawXMmwLvex
"Tea with an old friend," I reply.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS11XpaLvbe
I hang up.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJj9ekV2mDI
"Elijah, my favorite Original, back from the dead. Clean up nice," I greet him, as he walks towards me.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBjxjUFVZu
We stop when we stand not far from one another.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKHZXun5ad
"You left something in my jacket pocket," Elijah says, a piece of paper in hand.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5umvNmfRZ
"Oh, yeah, "Dear Elijah, let's get together, thought of the destruction of your brother, XOXO."555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5W4YuGrax
"Damon."555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7mivtsDgq
"Was I right to undagger you or do we have a problem?"555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHIuMDzmiz
"I'm here, let's talk."555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmYchB5AuC
"I'll start with an easy question, any idea why Klaus' killing weapon would be magically sealed in a mystery coffin?"
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHXYcJmbfs
Elijah opens the door to Klaus' house, me and Stefan with him.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0ZfqXqvLi
"Niklaus, our guests have arrived," Elijah announces.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡieh1HbGjEH
"Damon. Stefan. Elijah tells me, you seek an audience. Very bold. Let's discuss the terms of our agreement like civilized men, shall we?"555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGJtZv5Kw2
"It's better to indulge him," Elijah tells us.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcKbgR3SnD
"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.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5a4EzH2NV2
"Well, we can sit and eat or I can reach down your throats and pull out your insides. The choice is yours," Klaus replies.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqk3X8THt4p
Everyone except Stefan eat at the table.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJL6cVLMPQ
"You lost your appetite," Klaus says.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQEG4mIKBK
"Eat. I thought we agreed to leave grumpy Stefan at home," I say.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Snn3DQiVj
"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.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8t6PnIMMT4
"Oh no...I felt about you so...I figured the more the merrier!" I rejoindered.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgmsm9dAzq
"Elijah and I we have our quarrels over the centuries, but we always make it through."555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsq4H8nXIN6
"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.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBkuyMa61b
"If you are referring to the fact that Rebekah knows that I killed our mother, I've already come clean to Elijah."555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIxvekWOtW
"Hey Stef, remember when you killed dad? Might wanna doubt on the judgment desert," I tell my brother.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4Ia9kQUJy
"We're here to make a deal, Damon. That doesn't mean we have to kiss his ass for seven courses."555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9svNKXDZE
"I'm just saying we have a long evening ahead of us, face yourself," I answer.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDko3bHxkU
"Stefan, where is the lovely Elena tonight?" Elijah asks.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigINFoKgA3
"I don't know. Ask Damon."555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNUzHho7iy
Klaus laughs.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe01KFhGglT
Elijah looks surprised.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1zIR5GfvV
"I'm sorry. You missed so much. Ahh...trouble in paradise."555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEpIpMImH2
"One more word about Elena and this dinner is over," Stefan comments.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxOYmRNyef
"You know what? Probably it's best just to keep Elena in the Do Not Discuss pile," I interject.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3LBDs0RES
"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?"555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16fci7XtQn
"No, why should we discuss matters long since resolved?"555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GfGWY7aJu
"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."555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecD8hBL2Lv
"We're not going anywhere, Elijah. Please! Do tell," I rebut.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkyd4xnnKB9
"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.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEzQUzT0ZC6
"Ah, I said there's one who loved her just as much."555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJM10E4Had
"Wait a minute, so you both loved the same girl?" Stefan asks.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27220v59qA
"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?"555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpwEkmqnNg
"But in the end we recognized the secret bond of family."
"Family of paver," Elijah says, raising a glass.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKs8ZUEw07C
"Family of paver," Klaus echoes.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ss2q6YWVc
"So what do we look at this evening along, and discuss the terms of this proposal," Elijah announces.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ935AaXo9IB
"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.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5jqPk4J0P
"Sounds fair," Elijah comments.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdoCcQWm8co
"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."555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMz2BSGrhA
"I'm gonna get some air," I say.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobKxvOkCfb
"I'll deal with this," Elijah responds.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QB3fqMwn8
"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.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTadIe2RQ8F
"What's wrong?" Elijah asks.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrPK7v1U7E
"What do you think?" I reply.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdN4k1kOhiJ
"The sooner we resolve this, the sooner you two can leave here," he assures me.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtmYpFYszX
"I know," I reply to him.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0scAgOB7mC
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.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1aaDcOIuz
"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."555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpJMGdFP04
"Matt Donovan? Really?" I say.
"Yeah. Why not? They marry, live a long life and make a family."555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9pr8cvLZEh
"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.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKqAf3wgKU
"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."555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60AkuGuDkL
"So what do you say, Stefan? Do we have a deal?"555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQaybJqEyro
They walk towards each other.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdqlbf0f8y
Klaus holds his hand out and Stefan takes it.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvh4Uorl3Bf
"Nice try, Klaus, but no deal."555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejcX4bTEtF
Klaus grabs Stefan's arm and holds his hand in the fireplace in the fire and his hand starts to burn.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2VfMseeA1
"What are you doing?" I ask Klaus.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3S7VPVPGlw
"Bring me the coffin, or he dies."555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfuVmwyR3H
Just then, Elijah comes back in the room with an undaggered Esther, Rebekah, and Kol.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrgfKkTVJ9
Esther walks up to Klaus.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9aRKQhUZAv
"Do you know why I'm here?" she asks him.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiiIMGre3pZ
"To kill me," Klaus replies.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1F0XClqi5
"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.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIPhiUku7T
"You could've just left me to die there and you would've had Elena all to yourself. Why didn't you?" Stefan says.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3NkQhkk8j
"I didn't do it on your account."555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY55k3I3xln
"I love her, Damon."555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7BUGOsopm
"So do I."555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeI2dY4iBzB
I look at him and then walk away.
