THE NEXT MORNING I COULDN'T LOOK AT HIM. Klaus was glancing at me as if he wanted to say something, but I would send him a look of hatred and pure disgust (maybe exaggerating a bit) but yes I was someone petty. So he would stay silent, which was exactly what I wanted. I wasn't in the mood to currently talk with him. I know I was acting immature by ignoring him but I couldn't help it, I was so irritated. He acted as if I was stupid and laughed at my insecurities. I knew something was going or something happened, with Camille.

Maybe I should have stayed with the twins, I thought annoyed. It was much easier when it was just the twins, me and Rebekah.

We were standing, with Rebekah in one of the upstairs lounges, looking at a painted portrait of Rebekah. She was in her original body created centuries earlier, that hangs on the wall while Klaus stands behind us.

I frowned "Hum your boobs look bigger in real life"

I had seen Rebekah naked when Kolina had left her stuffed animal in Rebekah's bedroom, and I had entered to get it back while she was changing. Her face was priceless. Now that she was human it was so easy to surprise her since she didn't had any supernatural hearing and I loved it. I had a great time cloaking myself and suddenly appearing in front of her, scaring the living shit out of her every time.

Rebekah hums in agreement and looks offended "Ah yes! And that is just not my chin, Nik. It was much more delicate."

"The only delicate thing about you, sister, is your ego." retorts Klaus, grinning.

Rebekah turns to face him and smiles "Well, placed next to the behemoth size of yours, certainly!"

They both laugh good-naturedly. Suddenly, Elijah's voice is heard, revealing that they are talking with him on speaker phone while he and Cami stay at the safe house in Arkansas. Elijah suddenly says on the phone "Could we dispense with this fascinating dispute for just a moment and return to the subject of our supposed long-lost sister?"

Rebekah sighs "There's not much to discuss, Elijah. She said she was Freya, and then she darted off into the night."

At the safe house, Elijah is folding blankets in the twins nursery, while he talks with his siblings on the phone. "And you believed her?"

"They are not many people knowing about Freya. The real question is : Why would a stranger pretend to be your sister? Unless she wants to follow the family tradition, get betrayed and daggered..."

"Yes it's true" agreed Rebekah with me once again "I don't believe anyone would willingly be part of our dysfunctional family. And well, I met the girl in a mystical loony-bin, she could be anyone telling any lie. But, she did seem... familiar, somehow."

"She must have had the Mikealson charm, I need to meet this older sissy!" I say somewhat exited. Maybe we could get her on our side against Dalia. Because somewhat with my luck I knew the evil witch was alive. Freya must know a lot about her, and would be our greatest advantage. However I knew blood wasn't everything (since I literally murdered my siblings) so I couldn't trust freya only upon the fact that she was Klaus's sister.

Klaus exclaims frustrated "Then how is she still alive?" He rolls his eyes and sighs as he starts to pace around the room "A question, as ridiculous as its possible solutions, given this family's annoying predilection for cheating death."

Rebekah sighs and shrugs "I dunno, Nik, I'm just telling you what she said! Elizabeth is the one who knows about witch problems!"

Both original siblings glare at me questioningly." There are spells and potions to slow death but a thousand tears is long..." I say trying to come up with a reason. I had never heard about a witch living so long. I mean I heard about Dalia being immortal but it was just rumored, and you can never be sure when it comes to rumors.

Klaus grows aggravated "Well, did you happen to ask, if by some similar miracle, our aunt Dahlia lives as well?"

"I told you she was immortal, but you never listen" I mumbled annoyed while he narrows his eyes irritated.

Nobody ever listened to me, which was annoying because I was 99% right all the time. I knew a lot more than Klaus or Rebekah on witch stuff. Maybe not more than Kol since he learned a lot about witches for a thousand years, but I still have this insane instinct that made me right all the time.

"I barely had a chance to process--" starts Rebekah but Klaus cuts her off.

"--Because on the list of obvious questions, it would be nice to know if the woman who placed a curse on the first-borns of this family is still breathing air."

Rebekah retorts annoyed "Well, let me just turn back time and do it again to your liking, then!"

Elijah who was still on the phone, tries to break the argument "Enough! Both of you. If she is who she says, we'll find out soon enough. For now, it remains imperative that no one learns of Kolina nor Kayla's existence. Even if the curse is placed on Kolina, Kayla might also be in danger. Them being a secret, this has been our salvation thus far."

"Unless Hayley's husband-to-be starts flapping his gums." Klaus smiles wickedly "Perhaps I should take preventative measures and separate him from his head?"

I didn't want Jackson to die because I would lose Hayley in the process, however, my children will always come first above anyone even Klaus if it came to that. And I was not saying that because I was mad at him at the moment. A mother always chooses her children.

Elijah responds annoyed "Jackson will do nothing to jeopardize that wedding."

Rebekah gasps in confusion "Hayley's getting married?! " Klaus smiles at her, and she sighs and pretends to pout "Well, what in hell else did I miss?"

"Girl a lot, your psycho brother is dating little Glinda. That's mind-blowing news " I laughed as made a hand motion pretending my head was blowing up. Then I smiled fondly "Ah I remember the time she told me she would never fall for a vampire...but you know what they say : never say never..."

Rebekah is wandering around the compound with me at her side, calling out for Klaus. As much as I hated him right now we needed to talk to him. "Nik? Nik!"

Klaus comes out of the next room and joins her as he hangs up the phone. Klaus holds up his cell "That was Aiden. Finn has Marcel."

We walk into Klaus' study to continue the conversation. Rebekah ask horrified "What? Why?"

"Maybe your bro wants to steal your boyfriend. Even if I hate little Marcus I have to admit he's a nice piece of meat" I suggested wriggling my eyebrows earning an annoyed glance from both originals. Honestly I didn't care about Marcel. Maybe Finn was finally killing him, and he would do us all some good.

Klaus however is not amused like me, he looks more frantic "I don't know. Nor do I know where they are, what they're doing, or what specifically to do about it." He picks up a statue off the mantel and slams it down against the wood in frustration surprising me with his ourtbust "This family makes me want to murder people."

Suddenly, Kol appears behind them, looking exhausted. Maybe he had a wonderful night with little Ginda? However I doubt this was the case, he looked weaker like sickly. Definitely not after sex glowing.

"I see my timing is as impeccable as usual."

"Well, the traitor just thinks he can waltz in here like he's welcome!" exclaims Klaus appalled.

Rebekah growls furiously while I grin. The Mikealsons we're definitely entertaining. Sometimes I wished I had some popcorn. They were all so dramatic.

"As gracious as your apology better be, you're still getting one hell of a slap!" Rebekah lunges toward him, but Kol backs away, holding up a hand in front of him and speaking quickly.

"Wait! Wait." begged Kol as he put his hands up in surrender "I understand the irony of what I'm about to say, but I came here because I need your help."

Klaus just laughs dramatically, while Rebekah only becomes more enraged. I on the other hand am more confused, why would he need our help? Maybe some love advice with Davina, but I don't think it's that since he looked scared. And Davina was definitely not that scary.

I definitely wanted to help Kol more than Marcel. Besides I knew it would anger Klaus. "What's wrong Kol-bear? Need-" I start but I'm cut off when Rebekah yells at him enraged.

"-Figure out how to do your wicked little body-swap, and then we can talk about help!"

Kol however is looking frantic "Look, you don't understand, Nik. Finn has locked me in this body-- no more jumping. He's put a curse on me, Nik. I am dying."

"Crap" I mumbled.

Klaus just raises his eyebrows in amusement, while Rebekah crosses her arms and rolls her eyes.

Kol laughs bitterly "You don't believe me. The only one who does is a stranger, no offense Darling" he finishes looking at me apologetically.

"Offense taken, I thought we bonded yesterday Darling" I pouted imitating his accent, and failing horribly.

Klaus glares at me irritated, perhaps even jealously and then he smirks at Kol "Well, you're hardly the champion of truth-telling."

"Of course, why would a brother expect his siblings to leap to his aid?" asks Kol bitterly.

Klaus scoffs "Oh, spare me the pity party, Kol! Your recent actions merit a certain allowance for disbelief."

Kol responds frustrated "Look, I know what I've done!" He turns to face Rebekah "But, I won't apologize for trying to pull one over on you, Beks. You deserved it! But I don't deserve to die! Certainly not at the hands of my own family!"

"Maybe he's telling the truth, Klaus," I say but he ignores me. However, I can see he is irritated that I defended his brother and moreover, that I called him Klaus. I did that whenever I was super mad at him and he knew it.

Klaus yanks at Kol's arm and spins him so they're face-to-face. Klaus asks not amused "What kind of con are you playing?"

Kol jerks out of his grip "The kind I hate the most-- the truth." Rebekah looks at Kol worriedly and walks toward Klaus.

"He's not lying." says suddenly Rebekah "Even as a boy, Kol never lied once called out on the act. He may play dirty pool, but he's not lying."

Klaus sneers at him before turning away and pacing around the room. "So you require my witch to siphon the curse?" asked Klaus, he then smirks widely "Request denied"

"Hey, I'm not your witch or your property," I said offended. He couldn't deny Kol's request since it wasn't his choice wether I was healing Kol or not. He had a lot of nerve. Even if we weren't fighting I wouldn't let Klaus choose whatever I was doing with my magic. If I wanted to save Kol I would do it whether he liked it or not, I was not his freaking puppet. "I'm healing Kol if I want you dog, you don't own me"

"I'm sensing some trouble in paradise," says Kol, with a small smile, despite feeling weak because of the curse. Rebekah sends him an annoyed glare, Klaus and Elizabeth were already mad at each other, it was best to not make things worse between them.

"Oh shut up Kol" Klaus and I both exclaim at the same time.

I crossed my arms and accused Klaus "No wonder he hates you with how you are treating him. You didn't even slaughtered his killers or avenge him in some way. He's supposed to be you brother"

Klaus laughs "Ironic coming from someone who killed her siblings"

I groan annoyed "When will you stop bringing that up in each argument about siblings? I don't bring up or judge how you always dagger your siblings and literally steal time from them. At least I didn't torment them as you do, I simply killed them." I said pretending to slice my throat with my finger smirking "Besides, I killed Amanda she was a bitch and a snitch" I laughed "and you know what they say: snitches get stitches. She treated me exactly like you treat Kol."

Klaus chuckled "Well aren't you fast friends maybe I should be the one feeling jealous" he said sarcastically, and I could sense his anger.

"Jealous? Are you freaking serious? Sorry for feeling sympathetic to your brother who you treat like some freaking reject. I exactly know that feeling and how it turns into hate. I don't even know what I saw in you! Sure you look freaking hot and your good in bed." I said making him smirk "But the rest about you is repulsing." I spat and as soon as I said the words I felt guilty, his smirks sudently disappeared.

I may have gone a little too far by saying that but I couldn't stop myself and was so much angry. And I know exactly where to hurt when I'm like this. It was a quality of mine everybody hated.

"Because you're so much better!" he shouts back angrily and I could see how much I hurt him "You don't have a family. You're insane-" he started angrily but was cut off by Rebekah.

"Nick stop! We have more urgent matters like Marcel and our sick brother"

Kol walks toward Klaus. "Nik, I was helping Marcel for Davina. Finn has got him, he's trying to get a secret out of him, something he thinks Marcel knows about you." Kol watches with interest as Klaus, Rebekah, and myself suddenly share worried and anxious looks. When Kol makes eye contact with Klaus, Klaus gives him a look as though he's inviting him to question him. Kol laughs bitterly. "He's right, isn't he?"

Klaus anwears coldly "Marcel doesn't know anything about anything."

"We should have killed Marcus long ago" I mumble irritated. I knew compelling him wasn't enough, and I never liked him so I never cared if he died or lived. But Klaus cared about Marcel like his son, even if Marcel was acting like a jealous brat with him. If not for Klaus I would have killed him a long ago and saved us from the heartache.

"Well, if I were you, I'd hope that that's true, because believe me-- Finn has the means to get it out of him." answers Kol leaving both Klaus and myself anxious. Our daughters could be in danger.

Rebekah and Kol are setting up candles, salt, and herbs on top of a map on a table in the courtyard to prepare for a spell, while Klaus leans against the nearby wall.

Kol looks up at Klaus "So, what is the secret, anyway?"

Klaus responds looking bored "The term "secret" implies something only known by those who have earned the right to be aware of it."

"Oh if you want secrets Kol-bear I have a lot of them. I killed my brother's hamster once when I was twelve but it was a total accident I swear. His name was Bobby, and I tried to bring him back but his body literally exploded instead. It was quite gruesome, with a lot of blood and my little brother cried hysterically. I also cheated on exams with magic after I siphoned my sister. Exchanged my sheets of exams with another student, and her parents send her to a super strict school where the teacher would like hit her hand with a ruler or some horrible thing like that. Oh and once I also-" I rumble but Rebekah cuts me off.

"-Elizabeth!"

"Oh right sorry after being locked so long I can't stop talking," I say apologetically. I loved talking and I was so used to hear the sound of my voice, because yes I was talking to myself in the prison world. It was keeping me sane. On top of that was always ramblings when I was anxious, just like right now since my daughter's lives could be on the line right now. Marcel knew about them being alive and Finn had him. Which meant he could find out about them.

"Somewhat I doubt this big secret is about the murder of a bloody hamster" said Kol as he was trying to set up his tools for the spell.

Klaus stands to faces us and orders to Kol "Start the spell."

"Well, it's easier said than done. Finn is channeling the power from our parents." answers Kol. He nods his head toward Rebekah "He's a lot stronger than something some week-old which, a siphoner and I can do. Also, may I remind you that I'm cursed"

"And Elizabeth will siphon it as soon as we stopped Finn" responded Klaus grinning his hands behind his back.

"Hey more than a week!" I said offended. After all I was Rebekah's teacher when we were away with the twins "I teached her some stuff. But mostly failed. Your sister is not really good at magic" I finished disappointed.

Rebekah looks offended "Now, hang on! I may not be trained, but I... " Rebekah's emotional outburst causes her to accidentally create a magical wind that blows all of the spell ingredients and candles off of the table. Kol sighs in annoyance and looks at Rebekah, who looks both surprised and guilty as she sits on the couch.

Rebekah says defeated "Oh, blast."

"You already couldn't do that spell on your real body bex, it won't change if your in the body of a powerful witch. Magic takes practice or natural talent like me" I tell her smugly while she rolls her eyes at me.

Klaus walks toward Kol "We need a stronger witch. Call Davina."

Kol stands to his feet "No, no, no, no, no! I- I don't want her to know that I'm sick."

"Oh poor Glinda is going to feel guilty. She wanted you to help save her friends and now you're sick because you played the Hero. That why I never play the hero, he is never the last one standing"

"Then do a better bloody job!" yells Klaus while I was talking.

"I just need time." says Kol anxiously.

Klaus rolls his eyes impatiently "The spell Finn cast to lock you in your body. Do you remember it?"

"Well, I was a little distracted by the murder-y part..." Kol responds.

"If we can use his own spell against him, once he's locked in his body, I can end our collective woes with a brief snap of the neck!" Klaus says suddenly excited "Do you know a spell like that?" he turns to me and asks.

"I can check your mother's grimoires but it's going to take some time." I sighed irritated. I had learned a lot of spells from her grimoire, but I couldn't remember all of them. These books were huge " Like an hour or more the whole day"

"It's too long" scoffed Klaus "all I need to do is pull it from your memory, " he said looking at Kol who suddenly looked anxious. It was the perfect way to check where his allegiance laid.

Kol frantically backs away "Oh, no, no, no! I am not allowing anybody into my mind, do you understand?"

"What got some dirty memories?" I asked smirking "I swear on scout's honor we don't care"

Klaus walks toward him "You came into my home, asking for my help. This is it." Kol looks at him warily "It's not a request."

"Ever heard of consent Klaus?" I asked annoyed.

Klaus ignores me and lunges toward Kol and grabs each side of his head with his hands. Suddenly, Klaus sees a memory from the end of The Map of Moments, when Kol kissed Davina. The memory then turns to a scene from Chasing the Devil's Tail. Kol had just brought Davina to the Claire tomb, where he showed her the silver dagger he had stolen from Klaus centuries ago, which he wanted Davina's help to enchant to work on him.

"I've wanted one thing for years: to drive a dagger into his heart." he sees Kol say in the flashback.

He then sees Elizabeth with Davina and Kol in the tomb. He hears Davina say "We need help to make the dagger against Klaus". He sees Elizabeth joking with Kol and Davina while they were planning on making a weapon against him.

Klaus pulls away from Kol and glares at him and me furiously. Rebekah looks confused while Kol looks frightened. Kol says anxious "See? I'm - I'm guessing, just by the look on your face, that it worked."

Klaus furiously lunges toward him and throws him against the wall, where he smacks his forehead against the corner of the doorway to the entrance. Kol sits on the floor where he fell, while Rebekah sits and watches from the nearby armchair.

Klaus shouts angry "You come simpering for brotherly love, and the whole time you were plotting against me with that damn dagger! You're no better than Finn!"

Kol looks hurt by Klaus statement hurt "Oh, and you threatening me makes you better than Finn, does it?"

Rebekah sighs and stands to join them "Both of you, just stop it!"

"Yeah chill guys," I say trying to ease the atmosphere but it has the opposite effect.

Klaus turns to me furiously "And you!" he accuses "You were helping him. You bother me with some petty jealousies about my therapist when you were planning on betraying me. You helped them create a dagger to put me down" Rebekah looks surprised by Klaus's statement.

"Hey just I was helping them making the dagger but I never said I would help them dagger you." I defended myself but it made him even more furious.

"Because that makes it so much better!" yells Klaus in disbelief.

"It actually does." I respond smugly "I was doing that only for Rebekah. But I guess you didn't see that part in Kol-bear's memories."

"And how the bloody dagger would help Rebekah?" he asks with suspicion.

"I wouldn't find her with any locator spells and I was getting worried. They would give me her location if I helped them make the dagger and keep it a secret. It was nothing against you" I said the last part softly since I knew how paranoid he could be. Besides everything I said was the truth.

"You would go against my brother for me?" asked suddenly Rebekah was surprised. Few dared to come after her brother to her benefit, and most were dead.

"Of course blondie." I said as if it was the most obvious thing in the world. Honestly, I was helping them make the dagger, but I believed Klaus was stronger and wouldn't be easily daggered. Besides, I could always siphon the magic from the dagger and make it useless if it came to that. I turned to Klaus and said "But now I understand how much I could easily shut you up when you're being a dick, which is like every day"

"Kol with your help wanted to put me down but I'm the bad guy. Bloody perfect" told Klaus sarcastically.

Kol stands "I came to you because you're my family! But, I see whilst you and Rebekah and Elijah are all hanging portraits and sharing secrets, I'm the odd one out! You wanna know where Finn is? You wanna find a way to kill him? Well, you can figure it out yourself!"

He casts a pain infliction spell on Klaus that brings him to his knees while I look at it smirking. When Rebekah tries to intervene, he casts one on her, too, forcing her to sit back down on the chair. He takes advantage of them being incapacitated and rushes out of the compound.

"I'm going to find Marcel on my own" I said bitterly before leaving the two siblings.

Once they recover, they stand up, and Rebekah walks toward Klaus panting "Your stupid temper will be the end of you one day. Just know that. You should apologize to Elizabeth"

"Apologise? Didn't you heard about the bloody dagger!"

"You fight started before you were aware of the dagger. For the sake of your daughters, you should be on good terms at least. Don't let your ego ruin something good, Nik"

She walks out of the room, leaving Klaus panting alone in the courtyard. Suddenly, Klaus' phone starts to ring.. When he sees it's Hayley, he answers it.

Klaus says annoyed "What is it, Hayley?"

I had tried to do some locator spells to find Marcel but it didn't work. Then Klaus came to my room because Elijah wasn't picking up the phone, making him anxious about the twins. Hayley had called him, and told that Finn knew about the twins being alive. He also wanted Marcel to get my blood for a locator spell to find them. Klaus was trying to call Elijah from the compound once again, but when he doesn't answer, he starts yelling into his voicemail as he walks down the stairs while Rebekah and I follow behind him.

Klaus groans frustrated "Pick up the damn phone, Elijah! Finn is trying to find the twins!" He hangs up the phone.

"She's safe! It'll take a hundred witches to break the cloaking spell Elizabeth made." said Rebekah trying to be reassuring.

"Yeah I'm more powerful than Finn" I told anxiously trying to convince myself.

"I would've said the same about Mother finding you, and yet, a flock of starlings later, and here we are!" told Klaus irritated.

"He won't let him get to her, Nik. But you need to remain calm." promised Rebekah.

"Yeah stay calm, calm... Stay calm" I was mumbling to myself anxiously, trying to breath normally.

"Elizabeth I promise they are going to be okay" reassured me Rebekah a hand on my shoulder.

"And how do you bloody now that!" shouted Klaus sarcastically.

"Nick you need to remain calm, Elizabeth is on the verge of having a bloody panic attack and your not helping" said Rebebah frustrated. Klaus realised how much Elizabeth looked panicked, but before he could say anything Kol came.

Suddenly, Kol storms into the courtyard angrily "Our brother doesn't do calm." He throws a handful of powder into Rebekah's face, which causes her to go limp and fall to the ground. He breaks Elizabeth's neck with a spell and she falls on the found next to Rebekah. When Klaus rushes toward him, he holds out a hand and casts a spell that makes Klaus begin coughing up blood onto the floor as he clutches the paragon diamond in his other hand.

"UGH! Stop!"

Kol is enraged "Oh, you're angry, are you? Well, join the party, I've been here a thousand years!" Klaus lunges for Kol, but Kol just hits him with another spell, and he falls to his knees " I was building that dagger to protect myself against you, Nik. I'm not the bad guy in this chapter of our family's story! I'm the wronged! I'm the dead, but never mourned, unless you got everything that you wanted. I got a family who didn't care if I lived or if I died!"

Klaus furiously yells "Oh, shut up!" He vamp-speeds toward Kol and grabs him in a choke-hold as he slams him against the wall "We've all suffered! We've all been wronged!"

Kol is gasping for breath "Go on! Go on, finish it off!" Klaus looks torn as he holds Kol by the neck "Go ahead, kill me!

Klaus glares at Kol for a long moment before finally letting him go and dropping him to the floor. He takes a moment to calm himself before he speaks. Klaus says incredulously "I'm not going to kill you, you idiot! Despite your behavior, you're still my brother!"

Kol looks at him in confusion and surprise as he catches his breath. "Yeah, just the one you dagger repeatedly."

"I've daggered all of you! Each for your own good! If you don't agree with my motives, fine. I never claimed to be the bastion of temperance! But stop this drivel about being singled out and unloved." Klaus walks toward Kol and kneels in front of him "You are a Mikaelson! You're my blood. And I need you. I need you by my side."

"What does it even mean, Nik? Hmm? You talk about family; family this, family that. I haven't even earned the right to share your secrets, have I?"

Klaus shakes his head "No. You haven't. But, by all means, brother, prove yourself. It's not too late." He holds his hand out to Kol to help him up, and after a moment, Kol takes it, and they both stand to their feet.

Kol says quietly "Finn wants yours or Elizabeth's blood. He promised to heal me if I delivered it."

"You know where he is?" asks Klaus.

"You've gotta tell me why he wants it." at his answer Klaus turns away, unsure, but Kol stops him "Look, Nik, you've gotta trust me for once in your life, and I will stand by your side! I promise."

"You would risk your life to help me?"

"I know enough about dark magic to know that I'm hexed." Kol's voice breaks in fear and sadness, and they both start to tear up "There's no reversing what Finn's done to me, which makes him a murderer and a liar. The only way is with Elizabeth and I'm sure she don't help if I give Finn her blood. And if I'm gonna die, I'll be damned if he gets what he wants."

Klaus swallows anxiously "Finn has been dead to me for a long time. Tonight, I intend to make that official. Help me, and then I will share my secret with you."

Kol considers this for a moment "He'll be in the bell tower of the St. Louis Cathedral." He smiles sadly before grabbing Klaus' arms and putting his hands on either side of his head "Go inside my head. Find the spell. Let's finish this." Klaus uses his vampire powers to dive into his memories, and Kol screams in pain.

After I woke up, after getting my neck snapped and Kol informed us where Finn was supposed to be. We all arrive at the bell tower, only to find that Finn isn't there. All that remains is the table where he worked his spell earlier.

"Where is he? Is this a trick?" asks Klaus suspiciously.

"it's looks like he did a spell" I mumbled examining the remains of the spell, but it looks like an ancient one. This wasn't my type of magic.

Kol nervously answers "He said he'd be here, I swear."

We all start wandering around the room and examining its contents for clues. Kol looks at the table covered in ash and ingredients of Finn's spell "This is the remnant of a spell. Ancient. It's impressive."

"Yes that was what I was thinking" I agreed with Kol "It weird how he know this spell, wasn't he daggered most of his life?"

"Admire its artistry later. Tell me what he set in motion." said Klaus to both Kol and I.

Rebekah has walked up a staircase to get a better vantage point, and points at something on the table. "Kol, Elizaebeth do you what is that?"

When Kol looks closer, he finds a small, burnt piece of wood under a pile of ash, which he picks up and holds tightly in his hand. After a moment, he casts a spell. "Sanguinatum planicium. Sanguinatum planicium."

Suddenly, the piece of wood becomes whole and unburnt, revealing that it's one of Freya's Norse rune tiles with what looks like a combination of the "thurisaz" and "gebo" alphabet runes. I trained annoyed since I handn't learn this type of alphabet, few witches did.

"Runic tiles. And what's it mean?" asked Rebekah.

"It's a symbol..." Kol squints at the tile in confusion ".. for baby."

Klaus and Rebekah give each other a significant look, while I bit my nails anxiously which doesn't escape Kol's notice. Kol's eyes widen in alarm when he realizes what it means. "That's it, isn't it? Your babies are still alive. "

"And Flynn knows" I whispered realizing he has been playing with us all day when he already knew about the twins and where they were.

Rebekah rushes toward them "Finn tricked us into running about all day thinking he was looking for a way to find the twins"

"Fuck, you told me he was boring and dull, not freaking smart." I mumbled irritated, a nervous hand going through my hair.

Klaus finishes Rebekah's sentence.. "When he knew where they were all along."

Klaus quickly reaches into his pocket to pull out his phone. Elijah is back in the horse stable, putting away all of his tools, when his phone starts to ring. When he sees it's Klaus, he answers it.

"Niklaus."

Klaus says on phone "Finn knows. About the twins, about everything. I don't know how long until he gets there, but he is on his way."

Elijah sees something approaching him and tenses in anticipation "Yes, remarkably well on his way, I would say, brother..." Finn, who has just arrived, stands in front of Elijah's face as he hangs up the phone. Finn says nothing, but simply flicks his wrist and telekinetically throws Elijah backward into the wall.

Klaus is pacing around as he hangs up his phone and updates Kol and Rebekah. Klaus says anxious not easing my nerves "Cami's not answering."

"Elijah will protect them." reassures Rebekah.

"We have to do something, we can't just sit there-I can't do nothing" I said anxiously.

"Finn is channeling both our parents. He's too strong. We need to find a way to sever his link to them! How do we do that?"

"I can't sever the link." told Kol.

"We can't but we can make it impossible to have his magic anymore..."

His eyes widen as he has a revelation " Your right there is something we can try. It'll take power of our own. And a lot of it."

I nod in agreement understanding his idea.

We were in the Lafayette cemetery which I freaking loathed but apparently, everything happens here. It Kol and Rebekah and myself are outside the Lyonne tomb, where Finn has Esther and Mikael's neutralized bodies hidden for safe-keeping. Kol is lighting candles around the outside of the tomb.

"We can't get in without Finn's blood" says Kol frustrated.

"Well, how do we disrupt Finn from channeling our parents in there if we can't even get through the bloody binding circle?" ask Rebekah confused.

"We're not here to disrupt Finn's power, we're trying to overload it."

Rebekah asks incredulously "Are you daft? You want to make him stronger?"

"Think of it as a battery, when it has too much power it burns out overloaded. So we can make him explode with a great amount of power" I tell Rebekah grinning. "And then he goes BOOM"

Kol stands to face Rebekah "Look like Elizabeth said, a witch can only ever channel so much power. After that, things start to get ugly. I mean, they'll literally start to disintegrate from the inside. He'll either have to release the power, or, well... let it kill him."

"But, he won't be dead, he'll just body-jump," says Rebekah puzzled.

"And that's exactly what we want for now. Then we'll finally kill him" I finished devilishly. I was feeling quite vengeful right now, nobody was coming after my daughter and left alive.

Kol hums in agreement "Yes, he'll jump into a body three hundred miles away from the nieces he's trying to 'nap."

Rebekah smiles proudly "In case you're wondering, this is the side of you I like. "

Kol, looking touched by her words, stands up after he finishes arranging the candles and looks at her apologetically. "Look, I'm going to get you back in your body, Beks, if it's the last thing I do. I promise."

"Dont worry about it buddy, I'll take blondie back to her body. Besides your not dying, after we stop little Flynn I'll heal you. Your to cute to die Kol-bear"

Kol smiles at my answer and Rebekah chuckles "Right now, just worry about how in blazes I'm going to be any use to you whatsoever when I know nothing about magic."

"Hey I taught you some stuff!" I said offended. After 5 months of teaching her magic it was like she didn't know magic, hell no.

"Yeah but I can't manage a simple claocking spell when you told me that the first thing your learned" pouted Rebekah.

"That's because it's a Gemini given specialty, Blondie. Besides you know Motus and Incendia, those are important. This is basic Witch knowledge"

"Somewhat I doubt that is as easy as the spells you taught me" responded Rebekah doubtful.

"You don't need to know anything about magic; I'm just going to have to channel you and Elizabeth." reassures her Kol.

Klaus arrives with a duffle bag in his hand and Kol asks him "Did you get me what I asked for?"

Klaus drops the bag onto the floor in front of him "Mystical artifacts and dark objects galore, from my own personal collection garnered over a thousand years."

"Hey didn't I almost lost the twins because of one of those?" I recalled the needle of sorrows that almost made me lose the twins. This thing was a nightmare and I had literally halluciated which wasn't pleasant.

"Ah yes!" said Klaus "The meddle of sorrows, a lovely creation of my brother"

Kol rifles through the bag, pulling out a long cord with a feather on the end, and revealing many more items, including the familiar enchanted shackles that prevent witches from doing magic and the Devil's Star. "I wondered where this had gone! Half this stuff is mine!"

"There's more." said Klaus as he reaches into his jacket pockets, first pulling out the blade Finn used to neutralize Mikael and Esther by carving the symbol to channel them and throwing it on the bag. He then pulls out the indestructible white oak stake and holds it out for Kol to take.

"You're going to trust me with this?" asks Kol in disbelief.

"Whatever you need." Klausputs the stake in Kol's hand "Whatever it takes."

"And if you betray us or fail miserably I'l siphon you to death. And I heard it's not pleasant. Besides I'm still mad about you breaking my neck" I said touching my neck as if it still hurt.

Kol nods "Alright. Let's get started."

He lays the stake on the altar in front of the tomb, and places one hand on the door before holding out the other hand for Rebekah to take. I take Rebekah's hand and places my free hand on the wall as well, while holding our linked hands to Rebekah above the pile of dark objects to channel them.

At the cemetery, Rebekah and Kol and I are in the middle of channeling the dark objects into the link with Mikael and Esther to overpower Finn while Klaus watches.

"Los triforce comète. Los triforce comète." After a moment, we're jerked backwards. Rebekah looks at Kol worriedly as his nose starts to bleed. Unfortunately he looks exhausted and sick.

"Oh, we're close! We just need something to put it over the top." said Kol suddenly while wiping his bloodied nose, with his fingers.

"We need more power, a lot of it. Something mega-powerful. More than papa original and the evil witch combined"

Klaus steps forward "Take me." Kol looks unsure "I am a vampire-werewolf hybrid with ten centuries of blood on my hands. Channel me."

"Hum don't know if your powerful enough" I teased him and he rolled his eyes at me.

"I am. Channel me"

Kol shakes his head "No, Nik..."

Klaus squeezes his arm affectionately "You wanted my trust, brother. Here it is." He picks up the knife and places it in Kol's hand "Do not fail me."

Klaus kneels in front of Kol, and after Rebekah nods at him encouragingly, Kol takes up the knife and begins to carve the channeling symbol onto Klaus' forehead. Kol and Rebekah then gently lay Klaus down on the ground between us, next to the dark objects, and once again link hands so we can begin the spell.

"Los triforce comète. Los triforce comète."

After the spell worked Rebekah stands up and rushes over to help Kol onto his feet. Once he's standing, she hugs him tightly.

Rebekah squeezes him "You're a genius! You glorious bastard!"

Kol embraces her back "Well, I'm a little surprised it worked, myself."

"What about me?" I asked grinning.

"Oh come here," said Rebekah before taking my hand and putting me in hers and Kol's embrace which felt odd for me since I never actually was hugged. Maybe once or twice with Kai but he was never much of a hugger, and he had difficulties with human contact.

As we pulled back I said smirking " I knew it would work, you win some you lose some. But I always win. And Flynn wasn't that impressive by the way"

"Always so full of yourself, Lizzie," said Rebekah smiling.

All of a sudden, Kol is overcome by a severe coughing fit, and backs away from her as he doubles over. Rebekah looks at him with worry.

Rebekah rubs his back "Kol?" Kol continues to cough, and she pulls him up so she can look him in the eyes "Listen. I am not going to let you die. You hear me? Whatever it takes. Elizabeth will heal you I promise"

"Just after you find some innocent defensless victim to who I can transfer the hex because I don't really feel like being hexed right now." I tell her and she nods at me.

"Of course Nik will take care of that once he wakes up"

After few minutes Klaus wakes up from the spell. Kol and Rebekah are helping sit Klaus up in front of the Lyonne tomb after waking him up from the channeling spell.

Klaus says panting "Ahh. Tell me it worked."

"Of course we did," I said grinning. I did say I always win, one way or another no matter how long it takes. And sometimes revenge takes a lot of time, like my plan to kill my father. I unfortunately had to wait until the blonde twins were 22.

Kol smiles "We did our bit." Rebekah smiles at us "I promise, Finn is back to being a normal, regular-strength maniacal bastard."

Klaus takes a deep breath "I know in the last millennium, we haven't always seen eye-to-eye. But, in this moment, I am reminded once again of something Elijah has always said. Family is power." Kol smiles at him, and Klaus puts his arm around Kol and Rebekah's shoulders "Thank you."

"Cute" I mumbled looking at their exchange, it made me realize how much missed Kai and the twins.

"You're welcome." answered Kol.

"Speaking of Elijah..." starts Rebekah.

"He will prevail. Of that, I have no doubt." said Klaus.

Klaus comes back a few minutes later with a compelled human at his side. "Now come here buddy I'm going to siphon this little hex with my magical hands" I said a grin on my face.

Rebekah holds Kol's weak body, while I go to them and put my hand on his wound to siphon the hex, while my other hand is on the human so I could transfer it without it affecting me aswell.

However when my hand start to glow I'm overwhelmed by the hex and can't transfer it.

"Elizabeth!" yells Klaus concerned, he never saw her pained when she would siphon. She always looked pleased, euphoric but not like this. Something was definetly wrong.

I immediacy let go of Kol's hex as if had burned me and mutter "Crap"

"What's wrong?" demands Rebekah when she notices Elizabeth guilty face.

"Its too late, the curse had already taken it's roots." I sigh disappointed "Damn it's a very powerful one. He used a lot of power"

"But no...no you can siphon everything" says Rebekah confused.

"I could if you want me to die." I answer making Rebekah gasp by my bluntness. "Look it's too powerful, I won't have time after I siphon it because I will already dead by the hex magic."

"It must be because Finn was channeling our parents" said Kol bitterly thinking about it.

"Surely there is something you can do" says Rebekah.

"Rebekah" Klaus warns her. He didn't want Elizabeth to be hurt, despite their current differences.

She liked that Klaus was concerned about her, that meant he cared. But how did he cared bout her? As a lover? Only a sexual partner? The mother of his children? Or for who she was? She was freaking confused sometimes. Feelings were hard.

Elizabeth smiles at Kol and Rebekah. "But I can siphon a little, every day. It won't destroy the hex but it will give us some time to find a cure. And I can give you some remedies to help with the pain"

I had siphoned a bit of Kol's Hex so we could have more time to find him a cure, which was unlikely unfortunately. But there always a loophole somewhere and maybe we could find it.

I was putting my clothes in a bag frantically. I had decided being back in New Orleans was a bad idea. I was a bad mother, my babies were in danger and I wasn't there to help them because I missed their father. Because I was horny and wanted to be with him. And in the dead it wasn't even a good idea because we only managed to fight while we should be more mature as parents.

But they should be the priority and I was going back to take care of them. I gasp surprised when I hear Klaus voice ask me "What are got doing?"

I was so focused on making my bag that I hadn't noticed he was there. I didn't want to talk to him and planned on leaving without falling him, because I was a freaking coward sometimes.

"Isn't it obvious?" I ask sarcastically "I'm packing my stuff. I'm going back to the twins" I finish determined.

"If this is about Camille-"

I cut him off irritated. It wasn't about jealousy. It was about my daughters. "It's not about her, Klaus" I said making him narrow his eyes. He hated when I called him Klaus. He knew I was furious when I did. "My babies were in danger- and I wasn't here to protect them. I'm their mother, I'm supposed to protect them. I-"

"You protected them with the spell you cast with my siblings. Besides they are perfectly fine with Elijah. You needn't worry" he assured her.

"And what about Dalia?" she asked frustrated. He constantly avoided the possibility she was alive, as if it would make her disappear. But I was always right and I had a bad feeling she was alive.

"We don't even know if that wretched witch is alive."

"With our luck she is." I said bitterly "When I-I when they were in danger-when your brother... I felt like I was dying, like on the night the witches took them from me" I let out a sob, and the bag that was on my hands falls on the ground "I won't survive it, if- No when she comes for Kolina...I won't be able to survive it-I"

"Come here" said Klaus as he took her in his arms.

She hugged him tightly, wiping her tears on his shirt. "I promise to you no one will take them from you, I'll make sure of that" he assured her.

Elizabeth nodded "No matter who you hurt or the consequences"

"Yes no matter who gets hurt, they will be safe with you. I promise you my love. If someone is ready to do what's necessary it's me"

Klaus put her hair behind her ear and reaches out to her so he could kiss Elizabeth, but she supposed him by tacking a step away from him.

"What do you think you're doing?" she says suddenly frustrated backing away from him. She was near slapping him. That how annoyed she was.

He sighs "If it wasn't obvious I was I trying to kiss you"

I let out a frustrated "It's not because I let you hug me that you forgiven. God your just like every day else you just want to fuck me"

"I mean I wouldn't mind" he started smugly but when he noticed my harsh flare he stopped and said seriously this time "But sex is not the only thing I enjoy about you"

"Really?" she asked in disbelief.

He chuckled "Of course my love. You did what no other woman did, you gave not one but two beautiful daughters. You're not just a pretty face, but you're also incredibly smart. You understand my demons better than anyone and never judge me. You have humor like no one else, and I've never laughed so much as I do with you and I've met a lot of people in my life. I enjoy your company and I would be a fool to let you go"

"I don't believe you, you're just saying those things to sleep with me. That's all we do even we are together" Elizabeth answered stubbornly.

Klaus rolled his eyes. "That is nonsense, we do other things. We watched your bloody favorite movies together, even if I hated it. I also gave you painting lessons...I spent days doing a portrait of you and I don't do that with each person I sleep with. We went several times on a promenade-Wait is this your way of telling me you want me to take you in a date? Why can't women say things clearly, I'm bloody confused"

"What no! Dates are too cheesy, I don't do that stuff. But...that's what normal people who love each other do right?"

"Then I shall take you on a date when things calm down in the city"

"Okay...but nothing romantic"

Klaus laughed "Dates are supposed to be romantic, love"

"Ugh I know but I hate romantic cheesy stuff." I complain "You have to find the perfect date for me that doesn't make me puke disgusted from the Romanticism"

"You surely are hard to satisfy, but I'll take that as a challenge," Klaus said smiling. "What is it?" he asked when he noticed about her sudden silence.

"What about Camille? And I know there something...I don't want to fight. I just deserve the truth"

"I promise nothing happened between me and Camille or many another woman for that matter. I only had you in my mind these past months..."

"Continue" she told him knowing it was not all.

"But I admit I've grown closer to her when you were gone. Despite being human she fought my father and defended me, it's truly admirable of her"

"Then I guess I'll have to kill your father to get your undying love" I answered playfully, but there was still bitterness in my answer.

"You already have it Elizabeth, no need to put yourself in danger unnecessarily"

She let out a frustrated sigh "I can defend myself you dickhead! I'm not some damsel in distress. And I already kicked your father's annoying ass when I was pregnant with twins!"

"I know your perfectly capable of defending yourself, my love. But my father is a vicious man, there a reason I fear him." he admitted "I just don't want you to get hurt"

"But I want to protect you from him, just like you protected me from my father when he came for me"

Klaus chuckled "I appreciate the concern love but as you so elegantly put it yourself, I can defend myself" he then admitted "Camille... she inspires me to be better for you and our daughters. She thinks there good in me, that I can be a good father"

For Elizabeth, Klaus was already a good father. Better than they both had for sure. He didn't need to be better, he was already fine like he was. Sure he jas his demons, but he wasn't all bad not that she minded being bad.

"You don't need to change I like you just the way you are. It would be hypocritical to expect you to change when I'm a lot like you.. Do you want me to change?" she asked suddenly curious, even if she was perfect the way she was there was always some things she doesn't like about herself. On top of that a lot of people didn't like her, which was surprising considering her awesomeness.

"You could be more-" he stopped himself when he noticed my annoyed glare "Of course not your perfect the way you are"

"I know" she answered "You know after spending so much time alone, I realized the most important thing was loving yourself. And I think your perfect just like you are, even with your annoying paranoia"

"I see" he said "Even my siblings want me to be better, they want the human Klaus back...But you don't"

"Of course silly, I don't know human Klaus... Besides, I think they just want you to be nicer to them, like stopping the whole daggering thing or killing their lovers. Other than that they don't mind the person you are"

Klaus had a grin on his face "But he wouldn't be fun then. Tormenting my siblings is my favorite activity" we both chuckled "But I think that can be arranged" he added.
