Guest – No need to worry :) Our Sabrina would never.
•❅──────✧❅✦❅✧──────❅•
To the best of Sabrina's knowledge, they were somewhere between North Carolina and Georgia, American geography was never her strengths. Currently at an independent inn that provided the basic amenities needed for a short stay.
Sabrina found Klaus sitting in the lounge just off the left of the entrance. She watched from the second to last step as he pulled the phone from his ear and placed it back into his back pocket. He turned around to the direction of the reception to make his way back up stairs.
While he clearly saw her as he marched on forward, he paid no attention till she stopped him from taking his first step.
"Klaus-"
As the first word left me lips she abruptly stopped as he walked around her and headed up the stairs to the 1st floor. She quickly followed behind him as he got to the suite door, using the turning the key in the lock he pushed open the door and headed in. Sabrina was quick enough to stop it from closing before she got in.
"Klaus," she tried again before getting cut off.
"Now many times can I say no before you stop with your insistent nagging?" He went over to the built in wardrobe in the room and grabbed his jacket, pulling it off the hanger.
"5 minutes. That's all I'm asking for!" Sabrina was desperate to the point of begging.
Klaus inhaled deeply before replying with the same answer he gave twice already. "For the 3rd and final time, no."
"You've taken me away from the only family I've ever had. You owe me this as a courtesy at least!" She tried her best to reason with the hybrid.
"I gave you a choice, you came on your own free will, love." He reminded her turning back to the door ready to head out.
"What life do I have back in Mystic Falls after what you did? You've left what little I had broken and damaged." Her pace held a sullen expression.
The look changed to back to exert morose. Yelling at him would get her nowhere.
"I'm no use to you on the next stop. I just want to see him, please Klaus. I have no alter motive, the dagger with still be in him. I give you my word." The latter caught his attention. The corner of his lips turned upwards into a slight smile upon hearing the familiar words. He turned and faced her.
"Please Klaus, let me have this one thing." She tried once more in a wobbly tone. Her face was slightly splotchy from the threat of crying.
His fingers began to move a piece of her hair behind her ear. She watched with doleful awaiting for another rejection.
"Stefan and I will be gone for an hour. You do anything to bring Elijah back, sweetheart and I will kill you, am I making myself clear."
She nodded. "Yes," she let out a shaky breath.
"Go on then."
Taking the opportunity, she ran out of the room. Not bothering to go into her room to grab a jacket, she made her way to the large warehouse near their current location that held the coffins that held the rest of the Mikaelson family.

Taking a deep breath, she lifted the lid of the casket with both hands. His grey face had no expression. His suit the same as when she last saw him. In the centre of his chest, an impaled dragger. It felt surreal knowing he was still alive, at least to some extent but for the current moment immobile. She got what she asked but now didn't know what to do, Sabrina stood by the coffin and stared.
Stefan and Klaus had to be gone a good 20 minutes now. Given the 10 minutes she paced around the warehouse before she walked over to his coffin. Both hands on rested on the side of the coffin. She looked at him from head to toe, something inside wished for him to awake but she knew that something that wouldn't happen while the dagger was in him. while glancing Sabrina's eyes caught a glimpse of a tiny vial placed in-between the cushioning of the coffin.
Carefully prying it out she inspected the grey dust inside. Her gut instinct told her it was probably the ashes from the white oak tree. Without giving it a second thought her left hand went to the hold the part of the dagger that stuck out. She gripped it tight as Klaus' threat played in her mind. Against her better judgement she slowly began to pull on it till, slowly until the blade was out.
Taking her eyes of the body in the coffin she looked at the dagger as an unsteady feeling ran though her. Still holding onto the handle of the dagger in one hand and the vial in the other she slumped down on the concrete ground below the coffin and dropped the knife and clutched the vial of ash. The noise of the blade hitting the concrete snapped her out of her anxious daze.
She was now back to not knowing where to go from here. As the anxiousness grew, she came to be more fidgety. Getting up she began pacing back and forth, making sure not to drift too far from the coffin. After a good 2-5 minutes of muttering to herself she sat back down on the ground near the coffin with her knees up, putting her face in her palms she let out a deep sigh.

Her eyes glanced from her desk to the window. She stood gawking at the room she hasn't seen in weeks. The pillows were a mess, over her bed as the window seat. The curtains weren't drawn, allowing her to see the darkness outside her window. Light came from the ceiling and the lamp on her desk. The familiarity was comforting as a quick little smile graced her face.
She turned around to look at the other side of the room and that was when she saw him stood not too far away from the door. No blood stain where the dagger was and the colour back in his face.
"Hello." He greeted her with a smile.
"Hi."
"Am I to assume I'm still in box?" The bluntness of his question was enough to make the smile come back but it fell as quickly as it came.
She nodding in response.
"And what of Niklaus?"
She knew her tone would indicate the pain she felt but she still replied. "Away for about an hour or so."
"You know you have to dagger me before he comes back." He told her taking a few steps forward.
"I know," she said in a small voice.
Elijah was careful with his questions. She seemed to be in a fragile state, more so since he last saw her. "What is it my brother is up to now that he's broken the curse?"
"Klaus has some lead about someone knowing a werewolf pack. He's on a mission to start his own army of hybrids." Her response was now impassive.
Sabrina took a moment to actually comprehend that she was speaking to him. Not too long along she saw him killed with a dagger, a few minutes ago lying in a coffin and now in a dream state he was in front of her.
"I just." Her speech broke off as she tried to finish her sentence in one go but thinking about it all was starting to get to her. "I needed to see you."
That wasn't all it was. "How are you, Sabrina?"
She felt a mixture of things over the past few weeks, not having enough time to dwell too much on it and no one asking her if she was okay till now, brought everything back like a tidal wave. That was all it took to break her.
Weeks had gone by and she hadn't cried over losing her best friend. She left Alaric and Damon, she watched Klaus kill Jenna and then dagger the man she loved. Now she was travelling with him and all the while, watched helplessly as Stefan began his descentinto the ripper.
Tears pooled out of her eyes as loud sobs escaped from her mouth, this time she made no attempt to hide it. Her surroundings became distant from her, it all becoming irrelevant.
Two arms wrapped around her as she was brought back. It was another familiar comfort but not enough to ease the pain she was in.
"I can't do it anymore I just can't." The words were broken and muffled as she cried into him. "I don't want to be alone anymore, not again."
His arms stayed wrapped around her as he tried his best to sooth her.
"You're not alone," he consoled. "And you will never be, I promise."

She bent down to pick up the dagger that was resting on the concrete floor. Lifting up the cork that kept the white oak tree remains bottled, Sabrina dipped the tip in the small vital, before closing the bottle. Standing above Elijah's body, the dagger positioned above his heart.
She breathed heavily in preparation. "I'll see you soon, I promise."
Closing her eyes, she pushed it into him in one motion. He didn't move. Placing the vial where she had found it, Sabrina took a step back and wiped the tears that stained her cheek.
The sound of the door opening echoed in the large room made her turn her head to see Klaus walking in.
Her heart beating hard against her chest. The look on his face told her he could hear the rapid thumping as loud as she could feel it. Klaus had a slight frown on his face and he walked towards the girl.
"Where's Stefan?" she asked, trying to draw his attention elsewhere.
"Packing. We've got a new lead."
As a tear fell down Sabrina's cheek as she looked down at Elijah's unconscious body.
"I am sorry love, but I had too. My brother can't interfere." His tone gentle as Sabrina looked back up.
"I know."
"I'm glad we understand each other." A smile graced his face. "You've been nothing if not an angel on this journey so far. Keep it up and I might reunite you with Elijah one day."
That didn't do much to comfort her as she remained stoic. "And what happens when you tire of me. I have no actual use to you."
"I wouldn't worry about that. I'm starting to enjoy your company. So let's try our best to keep it that way," he told her putting both hands on the lid of the casket.
"Who know maybe we'll become friends at some point too," he said with a little laugh as he closed the lid.
Sabrina had a look of indifference on her face as she watched the face of her beloved disappear from view.
"Lighten up Sabrina. You agreed to come and now you're here. So I suggest you get used to it because it's gonna be a while."
The two stood opposite each other. Their eyes in an intense stare down for a while until she broke eye contact. Turing to walk out of the room, Sabrina heading back to the hotel.
