Rosa sat down in the middle of the couch and Klaus and Kol both quickly filled the empty seats beside her. She looked at both before ignoring them. Elijah walked over and handed her a glass of blood.
"It is animal, don't worry," he said and she nodded. She downed the glass in one and then the questioning started.
"Why is my mother in your head?" said Kol.
"Is my mother still alive?" asked Rebecca.
"What was that darkness?" asked Elijah.
"Are you hurt and how can I stop this?" said Klaus reaching for her hand. She quickly pulled it away, now was not the time for that. Kol very quickly noticed and glared at Klaus.
"Back off Klaus, clearly she doesn't want your attention," said Kol before reaching for Rosa's other hand. She knew this was going to end badly. Before anyone else could react Klaus launched himself at Kol and the two began to fight. Rosa stood from the couch, getting ready to stop them but collapsed to the floor with a scream. They stopped fighting and moved to her side. She struggled on the ground before Klaus reached out and grabbed her arm. At his touch she stopped screaming and the pain ended.
"I am going to give you two a suggestion," said Rosa taking a deep breath. "Do not fight or it will be me who suffers," she stood from the ground. Klaus looked at her eyes quickly.
"Rosa, should we back away? Your eyes are well," he didn't finish but she quickly raced away from all of them.
"Okay can someone please tell the rest of us what the hell is going on?" said Rebecca.
"When certain things happen, this darkness over takes her. One touch and it ends up killing you so be careful," the others all looked at her as she sat down on the steps. "But she can control it sometimes," she looked at Klaus and a fleeting smile crossed her face.
"And don't worry your mum can't control me. She just causes a lot of pain inside my head. She says I have two choices. First I kill all of you, which I really do not want to do. And the second is slightly more complex," she looked at Klaus.
"Brief version?" said Elijah.
"I have to make Klaus live with compassion as your mother put it. She thinks he loves me enough to change and thinks my love for him will change him," she took a deep breath before realizing what she had just said. Both she and Klaus quickly stared at Kol. He was trying to bottle his emotions but being a vampire this could only end badly.
"Your love for him and his love for you," murmured Kol before looking straight at Rosa. "Your love for him!" he yelled at Rosa.
"Kol calm down," said Elijah but it feel on deaf ears. Kol ran up the stairs to stand by her. He reached out and grasped her neck tightly holding her in a choke hold.
"I love you, more than Niklaus does!" he yelled at her as she reached up to his hands and tried to pull his hands off her neck.
"Kol, stop this," said Rosa. He grasped her slightly tighter. "I gave you a choice," she said before murmuring something. Kol was flung down the steps and skidded across the room. He stood from the ground and brushed himself off.
"This is all your fault!" yelled Kol at Klaus. Everyone could see the anger boiling inside Kol. "This is war brother. I will win," before anyone else could react Kol fled out of the house. Rosa pressed her hands against her temple, a slight throbbing had started.
"What just happened?" asked Rebecca looking slightly dazed. Klaus looked at where Kol had been standing.
"Kol declared war against me."
