MYSTIC FALLS
"She is brilliant."
That was all Damon could say as he sits there in his chains down in the cellar staring at his brother, both of them still in a state of disbelief at what Buffy had figured out at The Farmhouse. Damon despite the seriousness chuckled, while Stefan merely sighs "We haven't noticed that Katherine's been inhabiting Elena's body for weeks...and that's all you have to say?"
"Yep." He breathes before shaking his head "Thank god for Buffy Summers."
"Yeah, I think Katherine checking her out didn't really make Buffy feel very sisterly."
Damon snorts at his words before adjusting to get into some sort of comfortable position, how Jessie had done this for over a month he could not understand "She here?"
Stefan couldn't help but clench his jaw ever so slightly "Nope. While I deal with Katherine Buffy is dealing with a witch who wants to turn her into a baby factory."
Damon's eyes shoot open as he stares up at his brother in disbelief, how in the hell was he supposed to respond to that "What the hell?!"
NEW ORLEANS
Walking back into her room with a piping cup of coffee Buffy sighs as she listens to the update from Stefan regarding their whole Katherine/Elena situation "The sooner she is out of that body the better."
"Yep. I spoke to Bonnie." Stefan tells her as she hears him refilling through some papers "Found out why Katherine couldn't use Elena's powers. The voices Elena hears are other Banshee's, when they sensed a traveler spirit in Elena's body they basically put her in shut down mode. We got lucky apparently, it was killing her trying to use Elena's powers. Given long enough it would have killed both Elena and Katherine."
Buffy sighs in relief at least now that Katherine was tied up in the Boarding house basically nothing but a mere mortal they didn't have to worry about her. However, they did have one more Petrova woman who unfortunately was still a very powerful vampire "What about euro-spawn?"
"Tyler bit her."
Buffy shakes her head in amusement at that, seemed that Katherine Pierce had now managed to not only get herself caught but because she had Nadia doing her dirty work, she had basically signed her daughter's death sentence with her own hands.
"Well, she's not getting Klaus' blood. Pretty sure he would rather Katherine be forced to watch the only person that cares about her die slowly in front of her" The blonde snorts "Did you find the knife?"
"Yep. Matt just brought it." He tells her and Buffy was pretty sure she could practically hear him waving it in front of Katherine's face in a rather Damon-like way.
"Buffy please!" At the sound of Katherine's begging voice in the background, Buffy rolls her eyes as she walks towards the nursery "Oh I'm sorry Buffy's not here right now. She's currently throwing a wake with Klaus. A lot of champagne and dancing. It's great"
Stefan chuckles in amusement through the phone before panicked voices begin to fill the background of the boarding house "What do you mean Jessie and Damon got out!"
"They fed on Tyler and broke out to go get Wes."
Buffy who could hear all of this wasn't even paying any attention to the drama as she spots Rebekah stood over Joy's crib just watching her. Sensing something wrong she tilts her head before speeding over and grabbing Rebekah by the back of the head and launching her out of the room "Get the hell away from my daughter!"
Eva Sinclair growls in anger and waves her hand sending a poker from the fireplace through at Buffy's chest pinning the blonde to the wall "No!" She screams as she spots Eva moving towards Joy "Nik!"
Suddenly Klaus speeds into the room staring with wide furious eyes as he spots whom he presumed was his sister moving towards the crib "Rebekah, what are you doing?!"
Eva merely turns and raises her hand causing him to howl in agony as he drops to his knees and grabs his head, taking the witch's distraction Buffy yanks the poker out of her chest swinging it at Eva slicing her across the face.
The witch hisses in pain before raising her hand sending Klaus flying into Buffy the two hybrids tumbling to the ground.
Buffy who was currently pinned underneath Klaus winces slightly before both of them look over to spot Eva gone. But at least for now, Joy was safe.
Buffy who had pretty much refused to let Joy out of her sight was bouncing her daughter on her hip as she watches Klaus dig through the endless cycle of dark objects he had around the compound.
"I should stop packing these away." He tells her as he opens up a wooden box pulling out a set of chains that he had created for Marianna 800 years ago to stop her using magic when she was irritating him.
Buffy couldn't help but arch a brow she could pretty much see Mary's named carved on those, adjusting their daughter in her arms she sighs "And you wonder why your sister tried to kill you."
"I only needed them when she was throwing one of her fits." He points out before rolling his eyes as she continues to stare at him unamused and unconvinced, there was no way that was the all truth "Or on the mornings she was irritating me." He admits with a huff before shrugging "Never the less there's always one family member or another in need of a good shackling."
Marcel who was stood in the corner of the room sighs and walks over to Klaus who promptly holds the chains out towards him "Find Rebekah, or Eva or whoever the bloody hell that was. Use these to stop her from doing magic. And don't hurt her."
Buffy couldn't help but raise her hand nervously "Also please don't tell her I was the one to messed up her face." When both men stare at her unamused she rolls her eyes, yep clearly Klaus had raised Marcel given they were giving her the exact same facial expression "What?" She exclaims "If it is Rebekah she's gonna be pissed that I messed with her face. I happen to like my eyeballs not being used as cocktail olives. Which is what will happen."
Marcel opens his mouth to argue with her words only to wince, she might actually have a point there while he loved Rebekah...she was still Rebekah and Rebekah was a tad vain "She's not hearing it from me." He assures her before glancing in-between the two worrying parents "Look I won't be the only one looking for her. She killed the witch kids. The 24 hour hold that Elijah got the covens to agree to ended at midnight. Every witch in the city is gonna be gunning for her."
Klaus sighs before turning to Buffy who arches a brow, she had a feeling she wasn't going to like what he was about to say "Talk to your Advisor." He tells her referring to Hayley knowing given her previous relationship with Elijah was the best chance of gaining his help with dealing with the witches "Order her to go to Elijah. Get him to charm his elderly witch into calling off the hunt."
Buffy couldn't help but groan, this was so not a conversation she wanted to have "Why do I have to be the one to tell Hayley to go spend the day with her ex and his new vampire girl/fling. That so not how I wanted to spend the day."
Klaus sighs before thinking back to last night when Buffy had returned to the compound, Hayley had jumped at one word "Love my I remind you the wolves answer to you. And after you're little I am the thing that monsters have nightmares about speech I doubt she'd argue with you, worried you'd say remove her eyeballs for a martini." He teases throwing her own words back at her making the blonde groan in annoyance, the whole Queen thing sucked, when did she get to have the cool stuff that you saw in movies.
Like a fancy thrown? Or a minion to feed her grapes?
Nodding her head she sighs "Fine. But what are you and I going to be doing? While we send everyone else out to do your dirty work. Also, when can I have a minion? Queen's have minions right?"
Klaus opens his mouth flabbergasted of how to respond to her last question, to be honest still after all these years her words could leave him flustered and utterly confused regarding how to respond "The minion with have to wait. We, my dear, will be handling the dirtier work."
"So Wes is officially dead-zone?" Buffy repeats as she waits for Oz and Jackson to arrive to watch Joy so she could head downstairs and act as a reluctant Buffer between Freya and Klaus.
"Big time." Damon tells her "You know Jessie would have been a great surgeon...if it wasn't for the whole blood craving thing now. You should have seen him. The way he carved into Wes's eyeball. It was like butter. If he wasn't into blondie the vampire then we would be great friends."
Buffy snorts at his words shaking her head as she hands Joy the little wolf Hayley had given her as the baby reaches for it, smiling as her small hands clutch onto the soft toy the blonde sighs "Enzo come through yet?"
"Yep. I think he's scared you'll track him down and rip his head off. Said he'll bring us the cure today. Now I'm gonna head to the death of Katherine Pierce, she's got a first-class ticket to hell and I'm not missing a second."
Buffy shakes her head in amusement before nodding gratefully as the two wolves approach her, smiling at them both she reluctantly heads out of the room moving to the staircase. "Enjoy it. Video it. I have hybrid things to attend to with Klaus." With that, the blonde hangs up and makes her way down the staircase immediately spotting Klaus stood in the center of the Compound his eyes glued to one of the portraits of Rebekah.
"Did you do that one?" She asks as she walks to stand at the Hybrid's side smiling when he nods at her "She looks beautiful." When he lets out a small smile she arches a brow curiously at him "You don't...um...there aren't...portraits of me right?" She asks only receiving an amused smirk and silence from Klaus that immediately make her glare at him.
"Please tell me I'm at least clothed in your creepy paintings."
Again he did nothing but smirk at her making the blonde's eyes widen and she couldn't help but slap his chest slightly "Pray I never find them."
"I guarantee Luv...you're clothed in, at least one."
"I'm going to kill you if those ever see the light of day."
At her threat or what he was pretty sure was a promise the hybrid lets out an amused sigh before his entire back tenses up and all amusement quickly disappears from his face.
"Our sister was quite the beauty."
At the familiar voice entering the room Buffy spins around her long hair flowing gracefully with her, looking behind her she quickly spots the Mikealson witch making her way towards the pair.
"Yep." Buffy mumbles her body tense at the sight of the witch, to be fair given last time they had met Freya had made her go, poof, she wasn't sure what to think of her yet "Bex's is a real Cinderella. Can you fix her? Get her out of sleeping beauty mode and back to my blondie Bex?"
Freya ignores the blonde's words a little unsure of who these women she was comparing Rebekah to, focusing on the Slayer she merely offers her a small smile "We didn't get to have a proper introduction. Freya." She says kindly holding out her hand towards the blonde.
Buffy arches a brow before eying her hand suspiciously, sighing she waits for a beat before finally shaking the witch's hand "Buffy."
"I know. Marianna was not the only one to have visions of the Prophecy over the years. From what I've seen you're quite impressive."
Buffy shakes her head slightly, a little embarrassed at her words before sighing in annoyance as Freya stared at her, what with it with this family being so pretty "And your hair is perfect. It's so fluffy. What is it with Mikealsons and the perfect hair?"
As Freya giggles at her words, her hands running through her perfectly curled blonde hair Klaus sighs, if there was one sibling he did not want Buffy bonding with it was Freya.
"Enough of your girl chat." He tells them finally turning to look at his sister, his expression blank as he watched her "Can you place Rebekah back in her body?"
"Heh." Freya mumbles an amused smile gracing her lips "So, you've come to your senses."
Buffy rolls her eyes at that, honestly even the idea that Klaus would not be stubborn was the funniest thing she had ever heard.
Klaus ignores the amused look on the Slayer's face as he continues to glare at his sister "My senses have not faltered. They still demand you are not to be trusted."
Buffy groans slightly quickly cutting in before he could piss off the extremely powerful witch "What he means...in his own mean hybrid language is Rebekah's in trouble. The crazy witch in her head... let's say Eva and Rebekah power struggle. Bekah lost. Eva's in full-on kid killing mode." As she speaks Buffy frowns as she spots Freya's eyes fill with concern before she lets out a frustrated groan, something wasn't right here.
Buffy runs a hand through her hair looking at the witch with a begging look "Tell me it's not too late to save Bekah."
"It's not exactly simple." Freya explains making Klaus let out a small growl as he steps forward making Buffy tighten her hold on his arm to keep him from killing her "More stalling." He huffs "Very well. I know I can't kill you, but I will have a fine time trying."
"Okay buffer talking." Buffy hisses as she places a hand on Klaus' chest pushing him back away from his sister, glaring up at him she clenches her jaw "What did we say about threatening to skin our siblings?"
"That it's necessary?" He asks waving his arms up innocently.
Buffy lets out a small exhausted sob before shaking her head "Not to do it!" She corrects before turning to Freya who was clearly concerned about Rebekah's worsening condition.
"What do you mean it's not simple?" Buffy asks trying to get them back to the point here, Klaus' distrust in his older sister didn't matter right now, not with Rebekah's life on the line. Freya was pretty much their only hope and if he started skinning her for the fun of it they were all screwed.
Freya sighs turning to the blonde "The problem is Rebekah's condition has worsened. When I offered to help, she was in control of Eva's body. She's lost inside Eva. I don't have a spell that can reach Eva's mind and find her."
At her reveal, Klaus turns away from the pair of blonde women begging to pace slightly "Fortunately for you...Marianna is versed in such spells. She had a special teacher. Let's go see her." Pausing the hybrid walks over to the wooden box on the table and Buffy groans immediately knowing what he was about to do.
"Great just great." She mumbles before without fail Klaus suddenly speeds in front of Freya and places another pair of the magic blocking cuffs on her wrists smirking at her shocked expression.
Buffy shakes her head in annoyance "Yes Buffy, have a baby with a stubborn hybrid that doesn't listen to reason. Well done really." She hisses sarcastically at herself before rubbing a stressed hand across her forehead "I need to make better life choices."
MYSTIC FALLS
Katherine watches carefully as Stefan unties the binds from around her wrist finally freeing her from the chair she had been strapped to. Despite finally being free of her binds though the ex-vampire knew there was no escaping, especially not when everyone had their eyes glued to her. Clenching her jaw she rubs her red swore wrists before watching as Tyler places a near-dead Nadia on the couch. Walking over to her dying daughter Katherine takes a shaky breath as she pushes the hair clinging to Nadia's sweating face behind her ear.
"Did you find a way to save me?" Nadia whispers.
"Klaus' blood would've saved you." Katherine tells her "But he would never help me. Especially while I'm in this body." She whispers knowing that Klaus would never help while she inhabited Buffy's sister's body. He was probably finding the idea of her dying all over again some form of funny Karma. "And now it's too late." She whispers sadly stroking Nadia's face softly as the vampire begins gasping in pain before looking around in confusion "My mother's name is Katherine." Nadia whispers making Katherine's eyes widen stunned "I'm looking for her."
"You found me." Katherine whispers trying to pull her from the hallucination but it was no use. Nadia was too far gone now, the werewolf venom spread too far through her system.
"She is a liar." The vampire gasps "And a murderer. She manipulates, she betrays. She'll do anything to survive."
"Nadia..." Katherine whispers tears filling her eyes "Nadia look at me. I'm here I'm right here."
"I'm looking for my mother."
Katherine couldn't help but sigh sadly as she realizes just how much damage she had done to her own child, what being her mother had cursed Nadia to "This is not what your life should have been. Five hundred years searching for a mother who ended up...being me." Due to not having the ability to enter her daughter's mind thanks to being in a Banshee body she simply leans forward and kisses her daughter's forehead "Just know...your mother loves you." She whispers a tear falling down her cheek as Nadia finally desiccates.
With that Bonnie turns and spots Nadia now stood with tears in her eyes as she watched the scene, offering the vampire a small smile The Anchor takes Nadia's hand before gasping in agony as the vampire passes through to The Other side. And like usual the pain was unbearable as she felt Nadia's death. Just like she felt them all.
The room was silent for what felt like hours as Katherine covers her daughter's face with a blanket before standing looking at them all. Stefan, Caroline, Bonnie, Jeremy, Tyler, Xander, and Matt.
"So this is it." She mumbles before her eyes widen as the front door opens and in walks Damon and Jessie, Jessie moving over to Caroline while Damon throws Katherine a smirk as he reveals a video camera from behind his back focusing it on her "Promised the Buffster I'd get it all on film. She said it wasn't worth the airfare coming herself." When Katherine winces at that Damon chuckles "Aw you sad Buffy didn't think your useless death was worth her time?"
Katherine clenches her jaw as she glares at him before crossing her arms glancing in-between them all "So, who's got the knife...which one of you is going to kill the elusive Katherine Pierce once and for all?"
Taking a step forward Katherine couldn't help but laugh at the silence "What? Now suddenly everyone's speechless. When I was on my death bed you all had plenty to say."
NEW ORLEANS
Buffy sighs as she follows Klaus who was dragging Freya towards the crypt where he was keeping his newly turned vampire mother. As she follows she frowns when she spots a message from Damon "Katherine's dead. Official and all." She tells Klaus as she tucks her phone back into her pocket.
"Good riddance." He tells her "Although personally, I would have dragged it out at least a century or two."
Buffy rolls her eyes at his words before groaning at the dirt and grim on the walls "Do people not clean these places? It's icky."
"Where are you taking me?" Freya huffs from behind them making Buffy glance back at her "To see the Wicked Witch. You know maybe we should have dropped a house on her." Buffy says suddenly turning to glance at Klaus who chuckles in amusement.
Freya frowns in confusion making Buffy wince "Pop culture reference. Sorry."
The witch sighs before wincing as Klaus yanks yet again on the magical binders around her wrists "I am not your enemy."
"These aren't to protect me, love." He admits as he turns the next corner pulling them into a candlelit room "They're to protect her, the one who knows more...about mind-invasion and body-jumping than all of us put together."
Turning to Buffy he gives the Slayer nod making her sigh and reach into her bag pulling out a blood bag, tossing it into the dark corner of the room she crosses her arms, not the least bit pleased about being here.
Suddenly there is a whimpering sound from the darkness as a nearly desiccated hand snatches the blood bag, turning to Klaus Buffy sighs, "I think we should revisit dropping a house on her big head."
Freya frowns in confusion before glancing into the showers only for her eyes to widen in terror and anger as she realizes where Klaus had taken her. Who he had taken her to. Trying to escape Klaus quickly forces her to turn and smirks over "Mother?" He calls before turning to Buffy "Maybe one more bag Luv. I think she's still a little desiccated."
"Not my problem." Buffy huffs as she leans against the wall and shakes her head, with a huff the blonde then walks into the shadows grabbing Esther by the hair yanking her forward.
When the ex-witch glares at her Buffy merely smirks and crouches down in front of her "Aw...that's not a pretty face." Spotting the veins running under her eyes uncontrollably Buffy smiles and pulls the hair out of the way showing her the slightly scared skin "Look at my poor neck. All bare and tender and exposed. All that blood just pumping away." When Esther growls Buffy laughs making Klaus snort and shake his head, as much as he enjoyed watching Buffy toy with his mother they were here for a reason "Buffy Luv, that's just cruel."
Sighing the blonde stands allowing Klaus to finally speaks "Freya." He says gesturing to the furious girl in his arms "Freya, mother."
Freya who was beyond furious at this point merely glares at Esther who was staring at her stunned "It can't be."
Freya snaps and turns to Klaus tears of anger filling her eyes "You won't trust me, yet you would trust her."
"I trust my mother about as much as I would a stuck snake." Klaus informs her "Fortunately, she is now a vampire...and as such, vulnerable to my compulsion."
With that Buffy moves to Freya's side pulling her a little behind her so she wouldn't be forced into her mother's eyesight anymore, as she does Klaus moves towards his mother grabbing her by the throat.
"You will answer me...truthfully." He tells her before yanking her off her feet and pulling her towards the two girls "There. Now at least everything that comes out of her wretched mouth will be honest."
Placing a small hand on Freya's arm Buffy pulls her back, she may not trust her but the look in Freya's eyes was one she recognized. Pure anger mixed with terror and heartbreak, she knew what it was like to feel that way and for Freya to be confronted with it like this...she couldn't even begin to imagine what was going on in her head.
"Let's just get this over with."
MYSTIC FALLS
In a small church, Bonnie smiles as she lights a candle in remembrance of her Grams as she did at least once a year. It was peaceful as she let warm memories cloud over her, the face of her grandmother smiling brightly at her. However, that peace was quickly disturbed as she heard a familiar scoff of amusement from behind her.
"You've got to be kidding me right." The newly dead traveler mumbles as she stares at the Anchor "Something tells me I'm about five centuries delayed...on the whole..." Sighing she gestures around the empty church "...believing in a higher power thing."
As Katherine smirks over at her Bonnie couldn't help but glare at her in disgust at how she could be acting so smug even now "Well, you're here. That means it worked. You're dead."
"True." Katherine tells her with a shrug before glaring harshly at the ex-witch "But then again your friends didn't really give me a choice in the matter. Got to say was surprised Buffy figured it out, over the phone she never realized but one look...she figured out what Elena's supposed friends hadn't. Kind of Funny." Taking a step forward Katherine shrugs "This Banshee body was useless not like I could have run. But then why would I. Buffy's too confused about how she feels about Klaus to notice me. And Nadia was dying. So Elena wins again."
"Let's get this over with." Bonnie hisses done with this conversation, taking a step forward she tries to grab the Petrova girl only for Katherine to quickly take a step back out of the Anchor's reach.
"It's interesting." Katherine tells her a small smirk on her face "The things Buffy confided in me when she thought I was Elena. What she really wants. And let me give you a little hint...it's not Elena and your little friends. I wonder how Elena is gonna feel when she finds out Buffy doesn't wanna pretend anymore. That she helped kill Aaron's aunt...or that Buffy isn't planning on coming back. Ever. She wants to stay in New Orleans as far away from Elena as possible. It's nice to know that now even Buffy Summers can't stand Elena's winy voice either." With that Katherine smiles brightly enjoying the shocked look on Bonnie's face.
Despite wishing she could have left Elena with more of a life or death parting gift Katherine took what she had to work with. "Okay, I'm ready now." Without another word, she grabs Bonnie's shoulders.
Bonnie frowns at the contact waiting for the pain but something was clearly not right, Katherine was still here, she wasn't passing over.
Katherine clearly not realizing the seriousness groans in annoyance "Nothing's happening. What's wrong?"
"I don't know." The anchor admits "This has never happened before."
"That may be my fault." An unfamiliar voice says from behind them causing both women to spin around only to spot a figure stood in the darkness.
Stepping into the light Katherine frowns as she spots a woman about Buffy's height, she had black hair to her shoulders, brown eyes, and wore black leather trousers and a leather vest that was barely held together by a thin string leaving most of her stomach and chest exposed.
"Who are you?" Bonnie whispers involuntarily taking a step back from the mysterious woman, she could feel power and dark energy radiating all over.
The woman smirks as she steps forward her heels clicking loudly as she approaches the two "My name is Alina Petrova. Banshee, Elena may have mentioned me. But for today. I'm a delivery service." Stepping forward she grabs Katherine by the throat smirking up at her as she lifts her off her feet "You see, Banshees we're not a fan of Travelers. So when the big guy told me she'd finally kicked it, I was more than happy to come and collect."
Smirking Alina tosses Katherine across the room, Katherine quickly scrambling to her feet trying to get away, looking up at her ancestor, terror fills her as the air begins to spin wildly around the room knocking Katherine around the room violently.
Landing on her stomach painfully the Petrova woman looks up at Bonnie desperately "Bonnie?"
The Anchor merely remains frozen still unsure of what was going on "I can't help you Katherine."
"What?" She breaths before looking over at Alina whose eyes flash black before what looked like flames filled her irises "No." The traveler whispers finally realizing what was happening "No, no, no."
Alina chuckles before grabbing Katherine by the hair yanking her off her feet "Time to go KitKat. Just warning it may get a little hot." With that Alina glances over at Bonnie giving her a wink before Bonnie's eyes widen as Alina's black eyes flash with fire and then flames surround the two Petrova women removing them from view, leaving Bonnie alone once again in the church.
NEW ORLEANS
"My beautiful girl." Esther breaths as she continues to stare at Freya in amazement with a smile on her face, clearly not recognizing the hatred on Freya's face being directed at the ex-witch "My firstborn—"
As Esther tries to reach out she is shocked as a hand shoots out grasping her wrist, Buffy holds tightly onto Esther's wrist squeezing it so hard that the sound of the bones cracking fills the room. As her bones shatter under the Slayer's grasp Esther cries out in agony dropping to her knees at Buffy's feet as she remains firmly in front of Freya.
Glaring down at the woman Buffy smirks "Do you know what boundaries are? Clearly, your nut of a brain doesn't. Keep your hands to yourself before I remove them. And trust me once I start removing your parts, we're talking strong language adult content...your blood all over these walls." She says so sweetly it was almost sickly as she gestures around the crypt before turning back to Esther who was staring up at her in terror "We clear?"
The vampire too scared to speak nods and Buffy finally releases her allowing the ex-witch to quickly bring her broken hand to her chest.
Buffy rolls her eyes and glances at Freya "You good?"
Freya merely nods stunned that Buffy had done that for her "Thank you." She whispers offering the Slayer a kind smile.
Klaus however while amused was getting a tad bored, clapping his hands together he draws the ladies' attention "Yes, well, now that we have the pleasantries out of the way, let's begin, shall we?" Pausing he turns to glare over at his mother who was still kneeling on the floor "It appears your delightful sister Dahlia is on her way to New Orleans...and hell-bent on stealing our child." He says gesturing in-between himself and Buffy.
Stepping forward he glares down at his mother enjoying the terror running through her facial features "I need Rebekah back in her original body so she can help us destroy her."
Esther stares in-between Buffy and Klaus in confusion briefly staring at Buffy's flat stomach "Your...? Your child?"
Buffy's eyes widen as she spots Esther looking at her stomach again making Buffy groan, what was it with people thinking she was going to be getting pregnant again any time soon "Woah, no. Nope, this store is closed. We are talking about our first one." Pausing the blonde turns and glares at Klaus knowing he had some smart-ass comment he was prepared to throw at her "And no there will not be another, so get that image of me baring you a freaky hybrid army out of your head."
"Would be an enjoyable way for army to built—" He is cut off from his words as she glares and points at him with a look in her eyes that quickly made it clear to stop talking or she would remove something precious.
Shaking his head in slight amusement he raises his hand and quickly makes a zip motion over his lips but not before winking at her making the blonde roll her eyes in frustration. Klaus chuckles before remembering back to his confused mother "Ah yes, I suppose it is difficult keeping up on current events...whilst rotting inside a tomb. Very well, the short version: Our daughter is alive." He says as he steps forward placing a hand on Buffy's shoulder "Dahlia is on her way. But now the previous tenant of Rebekah's body...has seized control and isn't keen on giving it up. Young Freya here..." he says gesturing back to his sister who had moved as far away from Esther has possible "...although powerful lacks the spell...to put Rebekah back in her true body, with Marianna not having enough power consumed to re-enter New Orleans it falls to you."
Stepping forward he grabs his mother's arms forcing her back up to her feet as he looks into her eyes using his compulsion "I need you to be a dear and dig deep in that ex-witch mind of yours."
Glancing at Buffy the blonde reaches into her back pocket and tosses the notebook over to Klaus who quickly forces it into his mother's awaiting hands "Give me the spell that puts Rebekah back or..." Slowly he steps out of the way allowing Buffy to wave over at her with her fingers "...I let her torture it out you. And trust me...she's quite vicious."
