synopsis: Klaus moves to New orleans and discovers the secrets from his past that will change his course of life


Klaus looked at the letter again and then a wave of fury rose in him as he thought about those witches making a fool of him and trying to take him down. He had vowed that he will never go back to the city that took everything from him but after reading Katherine's letter, he decided to go back.

He smelled the city as he walked down the Burborn Street with a smile on his lips. He remembered each and every detail of that city being built from scratch. His gaze fell on some people randomly doing some card tricks. He walked to a lady reading the tarot cards. She looked up and said "Niklaus Mikaelsons, we knew you would come".

Klaus looked at her with surprise and asked her "do I know you?"

The witch said "You don't know me but I know you from Marcel".

Klaus was surprised to hear the name of one that he had sired and raised. He controlled his shock and asked her in a calm voice "where can I find this Marcel?"

Agnes said "karaoke bar down the road".

He darted from that place to the karaoke bar and was stunned to see the young Marcel standing on the stage singing. HE walked to him as he jumped down the street. Marcel turned towards him. He said excitedly "Niklaus Mikaelsons, my mentor".

Klaus said "Marcellus. Good to see you walking around". They both stared at each other for a minute and then hugged each other enthusiastically.
Later that day when he was looking and absorbing different colors on the streets Klaus was approached by a young woman who said to him "My name is Sophie Deveraux. I am a witch. I know who you are and I want to talk to you"

He said angrily "how dare you plot against me? I will destroy you and your coven".

She said "listen to me first. We don't want to take you down. We just need your help with something that only you can resolve".

Klaus found it very interesting and he asked her "what is it?"

She continued "Marcel has taken over the city. He is not allowing the witches of New Orleans to live in peace. HE has some weapon from which he knows when we are doing magic. A witch without magic is nothing. We want you to take him out. YOu are the only one that can take him down".

Klaus heard Sophie and then he thought about how Marcel has deceived them, hiding that he was alive and didn't tell anyone knowing well that they had survived. HE became angrier and angrier as the thought penetrated him further. He pondered over it and then nodded. He then acquired the plantation house, that once belonged to Marcel's biological father, which had been unoccupied incidentally. He had made up his mind to stay and get New Orleans back from Marcel's reign. Later that evening he was standing in the balcony looking outside when he sensed Elijah.

He said "what a pleasant surprise!"

Elijah said "and what an unexpected welcome".

They both stood gazing out into the city and t hen Klaus said "I want to take this city back from Marcel".

Elijah said "I realize you are angry at him for hiding the fact that he lived and I will stand by your brother. Always and forever but be careful of all the bloodshed it might cause".

Klaus looked at Elijah sadistically and said "you doubt my ability to self-control".

Elijah said "I know how much self-control you have brother and I don't think that is enough".

Klaus looked at Elijah and said "what about Rebekah?"

Elijah said "I have contacted her but she does not want to come" he added sarcastically "Congratulations at last you have managed to alienate her from you.

Klaus said with a smile "No harm done. She is safe now. Father is gone. She can do whatever she wants to do with her life". B

Both of them kept a low profile. For the next few weeks they penetrated into Marcel's inner circle and found out most they could about how he did his business. A couple of days later one night the front door banged open and he heard Rebekah's yell "you narcissist bastard what have you done with Elijah. Where is he?"

HE got up from his bed and walked towards the voice. HE looked down from the staircase as he saw Elijah walking out of the living room. Rebekah looked at Elijah and said angrily "I have been trying to get hold of you for the past three days where have you been?"

Elijah said "Rebekah I was busy with Niklaus. I am sorry that I didn't attend your call or return it but what is the matter you look worried?"

Rebekah's eyes met Klaus's who smirked and left to go into his room again. She said "I though Niklaus must have done something to you".

She was startled when she heard Klaus sarcastic voice next to him "like dagger him?" and then he said "sometimes i still feel like but my self-control has improved tremendously. Anyhow welcome home little sister".

He then went back upstairs slowly with a smile on his face.

Next morning Rebekah was sitting on the breakfast table before Klaus came down. A maid that he had compelled was pouring some juice for her.

He said to her "so little sister you want to meet Marcel" making Rebeakh choke on her drink.

He laughed at her reaction and said "yes your great love of life is alive and let us all think that he had died. isn't that romantic".

He caught the fork she had thrown at him with lightning speed and laughed when they heard Elijah's voice "Niklaus, enough".

He walked to the breakfast table and said to Rebekah "it is true, marcel has taken over New Orleans and our city, our compound and we want it back. We want you to stay and help us get it back".

Rebekah looked from Klaus to Elijah and said "you two are out of your damn mind if you think I will get myself in between Klaus and Marcel and risk getting daggered again".

Klaus smiled at the memory and said "trust me little sister, I will not dagger any one of you as long as you stand by me".

Rebekah looked from Elijah to Klaus and then stood up and left the dining room.

Klaus said to Elijah casually "she will come around".

Elijah said "hmm" and dug into his breakfast.

Rebekah left the compound and went to French Quarter and smiled as she saw some familiar and some unfamiliar things. She remember the last time when she was in this city. Everyone knew them - the Mikaelsons and now they were just anyone.

She was walking randomly through the street when she sensed him. She turned around and saw him standing there, not a day aged since the last time she had seen him in that opera house. He walked to her with that smile that always melted her heart and said softly "Rebekah Mikaelson, how nice to see you!"

Rebekah said "well you have very less time to be happy because i will be leaving soon".

Marcel's face fell for a moment and he said "what?"

Rebekah said "I am leaving". She brushed past him and was walking away from him when he held her arm and said "listen I want you to ..."

Rebekah said angrily "don't even go there. You knew we were alive and you let us think that you have died".

Marcel said to her "Rebekah believe me not a day has gone by that i have not loved you and missed you".

Rebekah said "then come with me, we will leave New Orleans together and leave this from Klaus. He will ruin you and me in the process of taking the city back from you"

Marcel looked at her and said "I cannot but I will not let him take this city from me. I will kill him this time".

Rebekah was shocked to hear that. She said "you cannot kill him. If you kill him, his blood line will die too".

Marcel said "what?"

Rebekah said "yes, we found out recently. But you can subdue him if you have a place somewhere"

Marcel thought for a moment and then said "yes, I have a place".

He took Rebekah to the garden, a big room in the basements of the compound; the compound where she had spent almost 300 years. She walked into the room and stopped when she saw vampires hissing and buried alive in the walls. She looked at him for explanation.

Marcel said "these are vampires who disobeyed me. We can put Klaus in here too. He will not die but will decay slowly. I will give him enough blood so that he can survive"

Rebekah pondered on it for a while and then she said "Okay let me think about it".

She went back to plantation house that night and went to sleep thinking of Emil, Marcel, and Stefan whom Klaus had pushed away from her at one point or another. Next morning she woke up with a resolve.

She went down in the basement and took out the dagger from the empty coffins of Kol that Klaus was storing in basement and went to meet Marcel.

Klaus entered the compound when he got jumped on by twenty vampires. He looked up and saw Rebekah standing next to Marcel. His gaze went to Rebekah's hand and then he started to laugh and said "you will never learn Rebekah. You are trying to take me down for him. He will leave you again from New Orleans"

Marcel glared at him and then he looked at his vampires and gave them a signal. Klaus put his hand in his pick e and took out a coin from his pocket and threw it on the ground and said "whoever picks that up will be pardoned"

The vampires didn't make a move towards the coin. Marcel smiled and stepped back. Rebekah stood by Marcel as she saw his army hit her brother right and left and then tie him to the chains. Her heart broke. She wanted to stop the fight but she knew that she was too deep in it now and cannot back out now. So she stood there and watched as his eyes changed and for the first time he turned into a hybrid in front of her making her cower in fear next to Marcel and they both saw him slaughtering, biting, pulling their hearts out from Marcel's army.

Klaus suddenly looked up and shouted "Rebekah".

Rebekah took a step back and the dagger fell from her hand. Marcel lunged at the dagger but she held his arm and said frantically "pick up the coin. He will kill every one. Please pick up the coin. I cannot see you die".

Marcel said angrily "NO Rebekah!"

He then saw Klaus punching grabbed Diego by his throat and lift him in air. At the same time Rebekah said frantically "pick up the coin".

Marcel thought for a moment and then he picked up the coin and said "Stop".

Klaus turned towards them with a smirk and very slowly he started to turn back but his eyes, his angry eyes, never left Rebekah who took a few steps back from him. He walked to them and said "you are not allowed to live in this house Marcellus and your army is not welcome in here as long as I don't allow it".

He stood looking at Rebekah and then said angrily "you are my sister and you stood against a man who does not want to leave New Orleans for you and you question why I killed your loves?"

Rebekah looked at Marcel from the corner of her eyes who was looking down.

Klaus then said "I am going to move into my house and live here. If you and Elijah want to join me you are welcome but Marcellus you cannot step foot in my house".

He then turned and went upstairs to the rooms that were once theirs. Where they had spent those 300 years, the years when they were happy until they were ruined by his father and they were forced to run from this place.
