Klaus' interest was definitely peeked. Silas never failed to surprise him in every possible way. He was rather interested to hear what he was up to this time.

''I don't think that this is right place for such a discussion. '' Klaus said

''I agree. Why don't we go to your place? ''

Klaus looked down for a brief moment. He didn't want to go to his house with Stefan since pregnant Hayley was there. But he had no choice. Now that Stefan is here, he is going to find out about Hayley's pregnancy eventually. His gaze met Stefan's ''Okay. ''

He looked Elijah and told him ''Stay here and keep an eye on Marcel. Me and Stefan have to..chat in private.''

Elijah nodded and Klaus and Stefan started walking away from the crowd.

After 10 minutes or so they arrived at Klaus' house. It was exactly the way Stefan would imagine it. It was a very tall, cream yellow building. There were two trees on the entrance placed in a way, so that the one was in the opposite side of the door from the other.

They went inside. The house was similar to the one Klaus had back at Mystic Falls. It was decorated with very uncommon, elegant furniture. It was decorated in a classical way. Stefan could tell that everything in this house must cost a fortune.

As they entered the living room, they found Hayley sitting on the black couch by the fire place with a book on her hand. She has gained pounds since the last time Stefan saw her. Why would she be there? Why would Klaus has her in his house? And why is her belly bigger? Something was up here. Hayley's eyes narrowed Stefan and then her gaze met Klaus'. Stefan gave Klaus a puzzled look.

Klaus broke the awkwardness ''Hayley love, could you please leave us alone? We have much to discuss''

Hayley nodded and she awkwardly left the room.

Klaus took a few steps towards the fire place with his back turned to Stefan.

Stefan couldn't help but ask 'What is Hayley doing at your house? Are you like close?''

Klaus shook his head ''I say that we leave that subject for later. We have bigger concerns, don't we? You wouldn't have come if it wasn't a big deal.'' He grabbed two glasses and poured some whiskey in both of them. He handed a glass to Stefan. ''So, what did Silas do this time?'' he said and took a sip of his whiskey

Stefan took the glass. He looked at it for a brief moment and then his gaze met Klaus' and said without any further delay ''I am Silas' shadow self''

Klaus gave him a baffled look. ''Shadow self? What is a shadow self?''

Silas' words came in his mind. '' Silas created the immortality spell. He can never die. So nature needed to find a balance. A- A version of him that could die. A doppelganger.'' He paused for a second ''I am Silas' doppelganger.''

Klaus' mouth dropped open. He couldn't believe it. '' How did you find out?''

''Bonnie has turned him into stone with a spell. I was the one who had to get rid of Silas' stoned body. When I was about to throw him to the river, he appeared in the form of Elena. He said those things to me and then he locked me in the safe I was going to lock him and dropped me in the river.'' He closed his eyes for a quick moment in the memory of what he went through in that safe. Then he continued ''A human found me and freed me from that safe. I had nowhere else to go. I couldn't go back to Mystic Falls with Silas there. I have no idea how to face him and I know that you are the only person who could possibly help me''

Klaus was still surprised. He felt sorry for Stefan. It must have been a living hell for him. Being locked in a box while drowning and starving. '' Silas never fails to surprise me. He is way stronger than what I thought.'' He finished his drink ''You said that Bonnie stoned him? How did he turn back to normal? ''

Stefan thought about it for a brief moment ''He said something about Bonnie being dead.'' He just realized that Bonnie was dead. He suddenly felt sorrowful. She was the one who helped everyone. She always put her friends over herself. She didn't deserve to die.

''That's not good. Without her, there's not much we can do.''

''So you are going to help me?''

Klaus refilled his glass ''Yes I am. I want Silas gone. He is a threat.'' He took a big sip of his drink '' But in order to stop him, we need to get in contact with Bonnie.''

''And how exactly are we going to do that?'' Stefan raised a brow

''I found some witches here in Louisiana. Plenty of them actually. There is only one problem ...''

Stefan cocked his head slightly ''What is it?''

''Marcel. He has forbidden witches to cast spells or do any magic. If they do, he sends his little vampire puppy dogs. They are all afraid. Convincing them to cooperate is not going to be easy. ''He left his glass on the table in front of him and took a few steps closer to him. '' But you know that I won't let that stand in my way. When I want something, I fight for it and I want Silas gone for good.'' A confident smile lighted his face

Stefan believed in Klaus. He knew that when he wanted something, he would do anything to take it and he seemed to want this. ''So what's our first move?''

''We stay here for the night so that you can get some and then first thing the morning, we'll pay a visit to a witch I know''

''Sounds good to me'' he said and finished his glass of whiskey ''But before I get some sleep, I could use a snack''

Klaus smirked ''Of course. I'll fetch a blood bag for you. '' he said as he headed to the fringe with the blood bags

As Klaus walked away Stefan said in a loud voice ''And you still have some explaining to do.''

Klaus stopped and shook his head. He fetched a blood bag and headed back to Stefan. He handed it over ''Like I said, it can wait. We'll talk about it tomorrow.''

Stefan rolled his eyes and grabbed the blood bag. He finished it in less than a minute. It tasted so good. After he was done with it he wiped away his mouth and left the empty blood bag on the table

Klaus smirked once again. Images of Stefan as a ripper came in his mind. When he was done he said ''Now that you had your snack, let me show you your room.''

Stefan nodded and followed Klaus.
