elijah gazed down at a hazy view, where red was the only color he saw. he couldn't make sense of the room at the moment or understand how he arrived there. his hands were restrained above his shoulders. he realized he was regaining consciousness. "what is this?" he whispered, face jolting forward towards the woman he saw.

"okay, dear." someone spoke to him. a woman. looking down at him, "why don't we try this for the two hundred billionth time. why are all these originals popping into town and why do you think it is okay for you to break down the wall, just enough to let your supposed-to-be deceased brother out into this good world?"

he observed his placement in the room more thoroughly. "you're draining me of all my blood?" elijah scoffed. "and you think this interrogation of yours will win without it resulting in your death? by my hands? like you said, i am an original." he even smiled a little. he pulled at his restraints, but he had lost more blood then he realized. original or not, you need that to function as any vampire.

"i don't care. i need to you leave town. take your abomination spawns with you. i need to you rid of your brother- the one who came back. it's not right. do you even know or understand what a witchy move like that does? it kills people. normal people. not in a way where you would notice it to be supernatural, but believe me, it balances out the numbers in this world and the other side."

"...kol. he's back now, isn't he?" elijah let out a chuckle, surprised yet again at what klaus is capable of accomplishing if needed be, especially when the purpose relates to his flesh and blood. she just stared at elijah for a moment before running her blade through his side one more time. the puddle of red on the floor was growing exponentially as elijah let out a quiet moan.

"hello brother." klaus heard a familiar voice directed towards him. he lit up a smile, got up from the couch, put the glass of whiskey down and went up to his brother, kol. " i knew you would come back", klaus said. they both laughed and embraced each other's presence. "stay for a minute. let us get a drink."

"i would, brother, but what of elijah and rebekah? not to mention that adorable little werewolf. hayley, is it? i confess, i've been eavesdropping. but anyways, i'm to take my company elsewhere. maybe i'll see you back home. i'll be taking the room with the best view." he grew a smile, and with that, kol was gone. klaus let out an angered sigh. he was surprised he didn't suspect as much from kol. if needed, he would choose his other siblings in a heartbeat.

"is it that so hard to just get a drink with me first?" he whispered, even though kol was long gone by now and couldn't hear him.

elijah regained consciousness once again to wake up to the same pool of red beneath him. making more sense of his location, he could tell it was a cement surrounding. the closest guess he had was an empty cemetery mosaic(? the house shaped private graveyard ?). the woman was still there. still wanting the same answers.

"well this is really gross," chimed a voice that belonged to what elijah thought to be a teenage girl. the woman holding elijah captive dropped to her knees on the cement beneath her, grabbing her head. she was suddenly in pain. "davina," the witch holding elijah stated. elijah suspected that another witch came- wanting to stop whatever nonsense was going on. but he looked up just in time to see the girl sink her teeth into her. he thought he was hallucinating, but he knew he saw the girl's eyes glow gold- like that of a hybrid. the girl pulled away from her victim and looked up at elijah, her mouth oozing warm blood. "i guess i should introduce myself to the only guy i even kinda like in town, if i'm going to be staying here" she told him. she had beautiful brown hair, a small nose, and couldn't be more than 16 years old. "my name is davina." she smiled.

"who...what are you?" elijah stared at her, puzzled.
