Episode Eleven: Brotherhood of the Damned

"Katherine," Elijah sighed as he sat across from Katherine in the living room where Katherine was struggling to feed both Henrik and Regina. She was glad that she had missed this part of the motherhood journey. "We can't just spend our life here playing family, out in this small house. Especially when there are masses to be done in the French Quarter."

Katherine rolled her eyes. "Look, I don't like being stuck in the middle of nowhere, either. But until we get down to the root of your little problem this is where we are staying."

Elijah's jaw clenched. "I don't have a problem, Katherine."

"Oh, really," Katherine said with a raised eyebrow. "Maybe you can fool everyone else, Elijah, but you can't fool me. You're tense, you're moody, and every time someone mentions your red door- "

"The red door is a thing of my past," Elijah said with a tense look on his face. "And nothing else."

Katherine narrowed her eyes. Well, it looked like she had to bring out the big guns. "Really? The why do you grow pale when I mention it? Why do you avoid talking about it? What did you mother do to you? Why are you so scared of that red door, talk to me Elijah, please help me understand?"

She saw that Elijah lower his lip slightly and he sighed. "The red door is just a symbol of my mother's way of torturing me." He looked at her. "Katerina, you and I both know that besides Elena there were several other doppelgangers. Tatia was the first and she lived in my village- "

Katherine felt her skin turning prickly. "And let me guess, she was the love of your life."

"And I killed her," Elijah said flatly. "Both Klaus and I were in love with her, but that is not the point. The point is that I killed her and Klaus still thinks that Esther was behind it all along and obviously that is not true."

"Elijah," Katherine said. "That was over a 1000 years ago, I'm sure Klaus has had better things to do that think about some girl he had a crush on a 1000 years ago. Besides he and Caroline are practically married and they have the twins. I'm sure he'll forgive you. If anything he should be asking for your forgiveness for all the crap that he has put you through."

Elijah stood up, "You don't understand, Katerina." He started walking towards the parlor when he stopped short. Katherine frowned as she looked at him. "Elijah, are you ok?"

Elijah opened his mouth to respond, but no words came out. His eyes closed as he fell back with a thud. Katherine put down Regina and Henrik in their cribs as she rushed towards him. "Elijah, Elijah, wake up! Elijah."

"I'm coming," Caroline said slightly annoyed as she went to answer the door, the person on other end would not stop knocking. She opened the door and let out a squeal when she saw Bonnie on the other end. "Bonnie, oh my god what are you doing here."

"I wanted to surprise you and I wanted to see the twins," Bonnie said as she stepped in. "The pictures were obviously not enough."

Caroline' smile faltered. "Well, the twins aren't here. They are at the safe house with Elijah and Katherine-yes, Katherine is a friend now. It's just safer for them there than in the quarter."

Bonnie nodded. "Don't worry about it, I understand." She bit her lower lip. "Honestly? As much as I would love to see the twins, I was kind of hoping to see you mostly." She raised an eyebrow. "Adrianna May Marin, your birth mother, ring a bell?"

Caroline shut her eyes. "Who told you?"

"These things get out, Caroline," Bonnie said. "And Stefan is not the best at keeping secrets. Still, I wished that you would have been the one to have told me."

Caroline nodded. "I'm sorry, I just been through a lot and I'm going to kill Stefan when I see him. I might have cared about finding about my birth mother once, but I don't any longer. Besides she's dead and besides Liz is my real mother. There is no sense in mourning a dead person." She saw that Bonnie was hesitating. "Bonnie, what is it? Adrianna is dead isn't she?"

Bonnie grabbed a folder from her backpack. "That's the thing I don't think so. I've been looking through things and well here." Caroline opened the folder, but she just saw things she already knew. Photos of her mother and the article that she had drown. "Bonnie, I already know this."

"I know," Bonnie said. "But you said it yourself, your mother was a powerful witch. A savior of other species. Look at the article Caroline she said that she drowned, but they never found her body and unless someone tied her up to the bottom of the lake she shouldn't have died. She could have used magic to get herself out."

Caroline shook her head. "That's impossible. She's dead if she were alive she would have tried to contact me, and my mom was a witch which means that she had many enemies, she can't be alive- "

Bonnie said. "Well, I'm saying that it's a true possibility." Bonnie hesitated. "Another reason is that your mom could have died, but she didn't- "

"That doesn't make sense, Bonnie."

"It does, Care. What if your mother is alive and roaming around? What if she's a hybrid like you. A vampire and a witch."

"What do you mean he just passed out," Nadia turned to stare at her mother. Katherine had managed to move Elijah to one of the nearby beds and he was still in that coma like sleep, even though it had been more than an hour. Katherine had freaked out and called Nadia who had come over. "Do you think he was under some kind of spell."

"I don't think so," Katherine said looking back at him. "But there are Mikaelsons everywhere, so I guess that is a huge possibility. Did you find it?"

Nadia nodded, a small smile on her face as she pulled out a small silver dagger. "The dagger of the Travelers, if we can get ahold of the medallion then my dear grandfather will not be able to sacrifice you because we have all the tools that he needs."

Katherine breathed a sigh of relief. "Thanks, Nadia how did you find it."

"I got it from a friend," Nadia said. "There are some travelers that don't want this ritual to happen either. Look, he's waking up."

Elijah was starting to open his eyes slowly and Katherine rushed towards him. "Elijah, you're awake. You scared me, your idiot! What happened- "

"Finn," Elijah said. "He took Kol, me, and Klaus to talk to some cabin." He blinked. "Apparently he was trying to turn Klaus and me against each other, He failed. Klaus. . Klaus forgive me about killing Tatia. He forgave me."

Katherine ran a hand through his hair as she kissed his cheek. "I knew he would."

"Are you sure you have to go?" Caroline told Bonnie as she watched the witch pack her stuff. "Give me a break Bonnie, you didn't stay the night."

Bonnie smiled at her. "I would love to stay Caroline, but unfortunately duty calls and I need to go back to college."

Caroline rolled her eyes. "Fine." She hugged her tightly. "Thanks for all your help and send the others my love, even Damon."

Bonnie chuckled. "Will do, and Caroline just please be careful. I have a bad feeling about this that I can't shake off."

"I will," Caroline said. "But you worry too much, I will find my maternal mother and I'm going to force her to answer some questions."
