"Niklaus, why would you do this? The curse has been broken. You can change at will," Elijah said while frowning at his brother.
"Stefan Salvatore defies me. That is why, brother. I will not let a young vampire like him get away with challenging my authority," Klaus scowled.
"That young girl has suffered enough. Do not make her what we are. You will need her blood..."
"Need her blood for what, Elijah?" Klaus barked.
"To create your hybrid army..." Elijah reasoned calmly. "The witches told you that..."
"Yes, but she has already died once and returned from the dead. We do not know how yet, only that it involves a spell that used her biological father. I don't believe that I need her to be human to use her doppelganger blood. I was recently speaking to a band of witches called the travelers. They believe her blood is good to be used either way. It means I will have Katerina as well to use when I want."
"But you released her..."
"Only for now," replied Klaus. "I felt I owed her one for doing the messy business I sent her to do. And I'm letting one of her favorites die..."
Damon Salvatore didn't deserve the fate his brother had given him. Elijah thought.
"Niklaus...at least allow me to offer to help her get through the transition. It will be difficult for her."
"She will have my blood. I guess that gives a family connection. So be it. You may offer to help Miss Gilbert when she awakens. Elena should be dead soon. Stefan won't be able to do anything but watch her die."
"This is wrong," said Elijah softly.
"It's never stopped us before," Klaus replies with a smile to his handsome face.
