TODAY, KLAUS HAD INVITED FREYA AND ELIJAH TO TALK ABOUT AN ALLIANCE AGAINST DAHLIA. The twins were currently having a nap, so I was free for few hours until they woke up. Elijah has just arrived at the compound, where he has joined Klaus and Elizabeth, who are waiting for him in the dining room in anticipation of their family brunch.

"There you are, finally."

"Hey, suits" I greet him with a smile.

It was weird since he wasn't living with us anymore, I was used to seeing him more often. Besides despite the numerous gifs and jokes I send him, Elijah was barely responding to me. When he did his texts were so formal, he even signed his name at the end! And he never sends me gifs, so boring. But I still loved annoying him. He only responded to important texts, so sometimes I would pretend I was in danger and he will come in like a minute to my rescue. And he would be all panicked while it was just a prank, which was hilarious. By now he knew most of my texts were pranks and stopped entertaining them, which was disappointing.

Elijah strips off his coat and hangs it up before heading toward the table "I was delayed."

"By who? " I ask curiously a knowing smile on my face.

Elijah was definitely getting laid and I wanted to know who the new mystery girl was. Because she definitely made him happy, and I knew for a fact that it was not Hayley. Maybe Hayley and Elijah weren't as good together as I thought. I mean she was married now and apparently loved Jackson in some way. And Elijah deserved someone who loved him and only him. Like loved triangles are so outdated and annoying. Maybe later they could go back together, nothing was written in a stone. But now maybe he could be good with this mystery girl. And apparently, she made him very happy so I was shipping it.

"No one"

"So how was it?" I ask ignoring him, I groan annoyed, and beg him when he doesn't answer "Come on share the smut, Eli."

Elijah pours himself some tea "There is nothing to share"

I laugh and tell sarcastically "Sure you scream I just had mind-blowing sex but whatever you say... Come on suits I want to know who is your new lady. Wait is she a witch? Is this why you want this alliance with them to work? Are you getting all hot and sexy for a witch? She must be hot. I want to know her name, what she looks like, her hobbies. I want to know everything. Oh, better show me a picture of your new girlfriend! Wait is she your girlfriend? Or just some night-stand? Because I thought you were too classy to have those. I mean you do whatever you want and-"

"Elizabeth stop torturing my poor brother" Klaus interrupt my rant knowing I wouldn't stop talking otherwise. On top of that, I was making Elijah uncomfortable, he didn't like sharing about his lovers especially with Klaus present considering most of them died by his hands. Talk about awkward.

Klaus smiles "Our guest of honor will be here momentarily."

Which meant Freya was coming to talk about our possible alliance. Although I knew that Klaus still didn't trust her, and knowing him he might have an ulterior motive. I just wished he shared his plans with me.

Elijah is bemused "Strange, our house is conspicuously absent of our lupine guests. I do hope it wasn't on my account."

"What no?" I said acting poorly. He could definitely see through my lies. Elijah sends me a knowing look and I give in "Okay maybe...but it's also because Nick disagreed with hayls and Jackson and him fighting like dogs" I laughed " You see what I did here? Dogs like werewolves-"

"Yes Elizabeth we understand," said Elijah his face always serious, but he still had a small smile.

I frowned "But you're not laughing at my joke. Your both annoying" I pouted at the two men, earning a chuckle from Klaus.

"I want to go back on your disagreement with Hayley. What happened?" asked Elijah curiously, with a hint of worry in his eyes.

"Nothing for you to worry about brother" Klaus laughs "I sent Hayley and her poorly groomed husband off to spend the day with their werewolf brethren to test the limits of their new abilities. Leaving me to deal with the family business as I see fit."

Elijah grows suspicious "Niklaus, Rebekah's situation has taken a turn. We may need Freya's assistance. So, whatever you are planning here? Don't."

"Yeah, and as co-parents, I must be in whatever your planning! Okay?" I said firmly. I know that Klaus wanted them safe just like me, but they were my daughters and I deserved to be aware of decisions involving their safety.

"Of course," he responds smirking. I knew that smirk very well.

I punch Klaus on the chest irritated "I know when you being sarcastic"

Klaus rolls his eyes and goes back to the topic of Freya "Besides Elizabeth can help Rebekah, she is a powerful witch, so Freya isn't needed. Problem solved"

"Oh I love when you compliment me like that," I said with a wide smile "but Nicky I already told you that body snatching and exorcism weren't my things. The Gemini coven is more specialized in cloaking spells and prison worlds. What your asking, takes a lot of time to learn and I don't want to mess up with Blondie." I grimaced "She could die if I did something wrong" and I definitely didn't want that on my conscience, especially since I liked Rebekah a lot. Sometimes she was like the sister I wished I had. After the months we spend only the two of us together with the twins, we were now super close.

"This is why an alliance with Freya would greatly beneficial especially for Rebekah's situation," says Elijah once again.

Klaus rolls his eyes "All I'm planning is a simple chat with a long-lost relative. You yourself said to hear her out."

"And you yourself said that would be idiocy." retorts back Elijah full of suspicion.

Klaus asks amused "Did I?" He feigns as though he's straining to remember "Well, it does sound like me. Regardless, on the off-chance Freya has some information that could protect my daughter, I'd prefer she share it on my terms." He points toward his ear "Ah! I think I hear her now!" He turns to the door just as Freya walks into the dining room, smiling at her brother's "Sister! Well, come in! Come in! Make yourself comfortable."

Freya looks slightly nervous but smiles warmly at us. Freya has a carved wooden artifact in her hands and is examining it carefully. "This witch-hoop. It's Danish. Is this from when you lived all in Copenhagen in the 1500s?"

"Quite the eye!" compliments Klaus, although we could hear the hypocrisy in his voice. This made me roll my eyes, couldn't he at least truly try with Freya before casting her as the bad guy.

Elijah grows impatient "Forgive me. Are we here to discuss family heirlooms, or do we have more pressing concerns?"

Klaus smiles "Please excuse my brother's lack of decorum, he's been in a foul mood of late. But, he is right. I did ask you here in the hopes that you would share some of Dahlia's secrets. So, without further ado, let's get to it!"

The four of us take our seats at the table, which is full of breakfast food, and start the discussion.

Freya clears her throat awkwardly "The first thing you should know is that Dahlia is the most powerful witch I've ever seen. She craves more power still. Right now she is like me, limited to one year of life in a century. But, she wants to be free of that restriction. To gain true immortality. And that is why she will come here, drawn by your daughter to take the child's power for herself. And she would kill anyone who would defy her."

Maybe we could cloak Kolina's powers but it wouldn't be a permanent situation. It wouldn't hold long against a powerful witch like that. It would only be a solution until she is defeated which I hoped was soon. And I didn't know if my cloaking spells were strong enough against her. Besides it wouldn't solve anything, Rebekah was also planning on having kids and we didn't want Dahlia coming also for them. So we had to find a permanent solution to this Dahlia problem, which meant killing that evil snatching baby witch.

"And yet you would defy her?" asked Elijah.

"I don't have a choice. She will never let me be free. My one chance is to align with you and kill her"

Elijah looks troubled by Freya's revelation, but Klaus doesn't seem convinced. "Well, now that we're all suitably motivated, let's talk specifics!"

Freya takes a deep breath "For you to understand, I need to start from the beginning."

KINGDOM OF NORWAY - 977 A.D.

Five years old Freya stands outside the cottage with Dahlia, who is creating a magic circle out of what looks like black sand or ash and using it to draw Runic symbols that resemble the alphabet runes "algiz," "kaunaz," "gebu," "teiwaz," and "laguz." Around them, Dahlia has set up tall torches whose flames are quite large and are arranged in the form of a pentagram

"After taking me from my family, Dahlia used me to forge a new brand of connective magic, one that augmented my power even as it allowed her to draw from me.

Dahlia says to young Freya "Take my hand and begin your chants."

"Med dette seglet, cum soluta nobis saman. Med dette seglet, cum soluta nobis saman. Med dette seglet, cum soluta nobis saman. Med dette seglet, cum soluta nobis saman. "

As they chant, the torches' flames flare brightly as they increase in size. Young Freya gasps in surprise and awe, while Dahlia's head rolls backward as she feels the surge in power from drawing on her. Once it's passed, Dahlia looks down at Freya, who is still holding her hands tightly and looking at her curiously. Dahlia smiles, obviously pleased by the outcome of the spell. She looks around and begins to hum for young Freya.

"Once we were bonded, Dahlia became unstoppable."

Dahlia smiles as she proudly strokes Freya's cheek with her hand.

"She wasted no time proving her might."

The scene cuts to another part of the village, where Dahlia and young Freya are walking hand-in-hand through a snowy field. The bodies of at least a dozen people are scattered across the land.

"The chief of a nearby village threatened to run us off, accusing Dahlia of witchcraft. She decided to make an example out of the entire encampment... Men, women, children."

"She killed them all with a wave of her hand. That was my first inkling of the power Dahlia had. Over the course of a thousand years, she's only grown stronger. " Freya turns toward Klaus "And she will bring all her power to bear against you when she comes for your child."

Klaus looks terrified by this revelation while I bit my nail nervously. The story is interrupted when Elijah's phone rings. When Elijah sees that it's Rebekah, he immediately answers it and leaves the room.

Freya, Klaus, Elijah, and myself are still discussing Dahlia over brunch, though none of them are eating a large amount of food on the table except me. I was currently stress eating don't judge me.

Klaus feigns kindness, making me roll my eyes "Your stories are fascinating, and Dahlia does indeed sound dreadful, but Elijah and I have killed our fair share of evil witches."

"Not like her," Freya admits.

"Yeah remember what she did to my coven? She is not just a witch, she's mega-powerful" which is why I was so afraid of her. I had heard about the stories of her in my coven and they were dreadful. I knew she would stop at nothing before having what she desires: my daughter.

Elijah sips his tea and asks Freya "What are her weaknesses?"

"She's paranoid, obsessed with power. She hungers constantly for what's been denied her, be it love or revenge."

"Yes. I think I'm familiar with the type." Elijah looks over at Klaus, who just smirks.

"That's totally my Nicky!" I said, he opened his mouth to answer some witty remarks, but I stopped him by putting a cookie in his mouth. His annoyed face was hilarious, but he still ate the cookie.

Freya smiles at the scene and continues her story "When I was a child, she would tell me tales of her own youth, of being victimized by those stronger than her. Dahlia vowed never to be weak again. She bargained for the firstborn of Esther's bloodline, intending to raise us in her own image, forming a coven of her own from which she could draw endless power. That plan was foiled the day she learned that Esther had ended her bloodline by turning her children into vampires."

Freya looks at Klaus, who looks as though he has something to say, but Freya keeps talking "And so the burden fell to me. Dahlia demanded I bear the firstborn that would add to her power, but I would not allow a child of mine to live as I did, as a slave." Her eyes fill with tears "So I vowed never to love, never to have a child of my own." She starts to cry, and Elijah looks troubled. "Of course, the more I resisted, the harder Dahlia fought to control me..."

KINGDOM OF NORWAY - LATE 10TH/EARLY 11TH CENTURY

Dahlia has set up another magic circle onto the floor of their cottage with salt, complete with more Runic alphabet symbols around the inside. She hums as she places various herbs inside the circle while the now-grown Freya watches fearfully.

"Until the day when she took the last of what little freedom I had left."

Dahlia makes a spiral in the earthen floor of the cottage inside the magic circle with her finger before waving her hands over it. After a moment, she gasps and her eyes roll back as she feels the spell successfully complete itself. Afterward, she stands to her feet holds out her hand toward Freya.

Dahlia smiles "Take my hand." Freya stays where she is and looks at Dahlia in fright as she shakes her head.

Freya backs away from her "No. This is not right. You've already taken everything from me. I will not follow you into this madness.

Dahlia smiles coldly "Don't be stupid. I'm offering you eternal life. We will sleep for a century and wake with a power unlike any that's ever been seen. It's what we wanted."

Freya says furious "What you wanted."Dahlia's smile falls as she begins to lose her patience, and Freya starts to cry "Please do not bind me with this curse."

Dahlia lowers her hand, looking saddened by this reaction, and for a moment, Freya looks as though Dahlia has relented. After a moment, though, Dahlia roughly grabs Freya's hands and pulls her into the circle despite her protests.

"Ungrateful child, you will thank me for this in one century or the next." Dahlia begins to chant the spell "Magi somn et immortalis, binde oss."

Freya is still crying as she continues her story "And so we slept, our magic accruing over time... " She flashes back to right after the spell was cast, where both Dahlia and Freya are each laying in their own bed, side by side ".. until we woke, filled with immense power and allowed to live a single year of life. That has been the existence I have suffered for the last 10 centuries."

"Damn that sucks, like you wake up everything had changed. You make friends, learn about the world, and then poof you go to sleep again. It must be soooo annoying! I mean I lost 16 years of normal life and found it difficult to adjust, I can't imagine about you"

Before Freya could answer me Klaus begins to laugh fakely, and Freya shoots him a glare "Hahaha! Well... It's quite the ordeal, isn't it? But it does beg the question why not end it yourself?"

I hit Klaus on the arm. "Nick that insensitive! You don't say things like that!"

Considering I had already tried to kill myself multiples times, this was not only insensitive for Freya but also for me. I found myself in a situation where I wanted to be free, and so tried to find freedom in death but I couldn't even get that. So his comment was annoying me.

"Well you were never known for your sensitivity either!" he bits back irritated. He didn't like Elizabeth constantly defending Freya. She was supposed to be on his side.

Elijah shakes his head in disgust at Klaus' words and tries to stop him from talking, but he continues on "A high enough bridge, a tight enough noose. You must have considered it."

Freya closes her eyes and sighs "Long ago, I did consider it, but Dahlia would never give me even that freedom." Klaus is surprised by this answer, while I look at Freya sympathetically. It appears we had more in common than I thought "I would later learn the spell made me like her... Immortal and impervious to harm. " She laughs bitterly and wipes the tears from her face "So you see, I am like you, a creature of great power cursed for all time."

"Huh... Do you need a tissue?" I ask awkwardly. I didn't deal well with people crying, it made me uncomfortable.

Rebekah has made it back to the compound, where we are anxiously listening to Rebekah update us on what has happened.

"It was this witch Eva. The nasty, little cow is inside me, trying to bust her way out."

Crap the longer we waited the harder it will be to eject Eva out of her own body and give back full control to Rebekah. We needed to act fast to get rid of this little cow, as Rebekah so elegantly put it. I actually liked that little insult.

I had given Rebekah some herbs to contain the little cow but apparently, it wasn't enough, she was really determined to take back control of her body.

Elijah looks at Klaus "Freya is waiting downstairs. Perhaps-"

Klaus interrupts Elijah "Have you lost your mind? Tell me we're not considering opening our sister's head to someone we barely know."

Rebekah exclaims frustrated "Nik, for God's sake, she is our sister. I've known it since she saved me from the fauline cottage."

Klaus scoffs "An act no doubt meant to secure your trust, perhaps for this very moment, to strike when we are vulnerable." Rebekah scowls at Klaus, but he shakes his head "No. We've no way to prove that anything she said today is true."

Elijah sighs "Niklaus, I understand your concern. Both of us are powerless to help our sister. Now either we leave Rebekah to suffer, or we place our faith in the hands of someone I believe to be our blood." Klaus looks appalled, but Elijah maintains his position "Right now, I'm inclined to give the benefit of the doubt to family."

Klaus still doesn't seem conceived so I decided to step up. Maybe he'll listen to me. "Nicky we need a solution quickly for Rebekah's situation before it's too late and Freya is our only solution right now. We don't have another choice"

Elijah has just brought Freya to the upstairs living room, where Rebekah, Klaus, and I are waiting for her. Freya immediately walks toward Rebekah to greet her, she smiles "Rebekah." Rebekah stands up, and the two squeeze each other's hands "It's good to see you again."

"And you, though I'd prefer better circumstances."

"So ready for an exorcism blondie? We'll need holy water and a Cross. Oh and maybe we should do that in a church to make sure it works. I can't wait to hear Eva the evil witch curse when we try to exorcist her" I said excitedly. I was a fan of horror movies so it shouldn't be that surprising.

Rebekah chuckles "Very funny"

The two sit next to each other on the couch while Elijah stands off to the side. Klaus is sitting in the corner with a drink, his back turned to them, and obviously pouting due to being overruled by Elijah. He could act like a child sometimes. I was standing next to Klaus, to show him a little support. He doesn't react well when he felt betrayed and we didn't need one of his tantrums right now.

"You needn't worry. Elijah explained the problem, and I can help," says Freya reassuringly. She definitely looked like the older sister right now.

Klaus mutters loudly "Rather confident, aren't we?"

Freya turns to look at him, partly amused and partly confused, but when Klaus doesn't even acknowledge her, so she just scoffs and turns back to Rebekah. "The spirit of the host body is powerful, but I can cast a spell," She brushes Rebekah's cheek with her hand "...put you in a deep sleep, and then suppress this other essence. You'll be just fine."

Rebekah sounds nervous "Lovely. When do we start?"

Klaus groans "Oh, you've got to be kidding me. She spouts off some magical diagnosis, and we are all supposed to applaud."

Rebekah says to Klaus annoyed by his behavior "Nik, she's trying to help."

I put my harm on him to stop him when walks toward them, but he scoffs and takes off my hand and still goes to them "Yes, but for the sake of keeping our options open, why not write down your spells and incantations? That way, we can have them double-checked by an impartial third party, says Davina. She'd love to prove me wrong. Or even better Elizabeth go fetch my mother's grimoires I'm sure she has the spell for Rebekah's situation!"

Freya looks offended by his suggestion "I doubt she would understand my magic, let alone have the power to execute it. As for Elizabeth if she did had the spell she would have already used it. On top of that, it's a complex spell and I'm not sure she would be able to cast it considering she is a siphon. No offense"

"None taken, I already told him I couldn't do it. But he's a stubborn prick. It would take weeks of preparation. I'm kinda disappointed since I always wanted to do an exorcism but well maybe another time..."

Klaus scoffs "Oh. So you're our only hope then? Seems rather convenient, doesn't it?"

Rebekah looks appalled at Klaus's attitude and rolls her eyes dramatically, and Freya is both hurt and betrayed.

"I knew it would be difficult to win your trust, Niklaus. Your reputation precedes you... " Klaus smiles mockingly at Freya as she stands and walks toward him "But if we are to face Dahlia together, you will have to trust me. Given the peril that Rebekah now faces, are you truly incapable of giving me even a chance to prove myself?" Klaus rolls his eyes and turns back toward the bar, so Freya addresses Elijah and Rebekah instead.

"I know I appear as an outsider, but I have dreamt of you all for a thousand years." Rebekah and Elijah look at each other before turning back to Freya "Elijah when you were in Esther's womb, she would ask me to sing to you. I would feel her belly as I did." Freya laughs "Heh. How you would kick. She would say, "it was as if Thor himself had raised his hammer"... "

Elijah finishes her sentence... "And summoned thunder and lightning." They smile at each other, and Elijah is visibly touched that she would remember this memory "Mother rarely mentioned you. When she did, she would say how enchanted you were by the prospect of my birth."

"How I wanted more brothers and a sister " continued Freya. She looks over at Rebekah, who smiles at her affectionately "more than anything, but between Esther and Dahlia, that wish was taken from me. I was ruined by those who raised me. If nothing else, at least we have that in common." She looks over at Klaus, who continues scowling silently across the room, before turning back to Elijah "There is nothing that can replace what was taken from us, but I hope we can make something better in its place. All you have to do is trust me."

Before anyone can say anything, Klaus vamp-speeds over to her and breaks her neck. Rebekah tries to intervene, but she wasn't fast enough.

Rebekah yells furiously "Nik!"

"What the fuck! Nick, I told you to have to tell me your plans!" I scold him irritated.

Klaus smirks "Well, that's enough of that, don't you think?" He drops her body carelessly onto the ground, and Rebekah and Elijah both swarm around him, livid at what he has just done "Right. Now we can have a proper family meeting."

Freya is still laying lifelessly on the floor, where Rebekah is checking on her. She is furious as she looks over at Klaus, who is pacing along one side of the room while Elijah paces along with the other.

"Was that absolutely necessary?" asked Rebekah.

"Apparently" I mumble bitterly under my breath.

Klaus sneers "Oh, please. She was insufferable."

Elijah points at him angrily "That was ridiculous even for you."

Klaus rolls his eyes "You've only just met her. Let's not get sentimental. Besides, if she was telling the truth about being immortal, she'll awaken shortly. If she was lying, good riddance.

"Good riddance? She was the only one who knew how to stop Dahlia and if she doesn't wake up we are left with nothing" I shouted angrily. I tried to be supportive but he doesn't include me in his plans and do that. "I want to rip out your eyes right now," I said irritated surprising him, his eyes widen at my outburst.

He scoffs not taking me seriously "Aren't you exaggerating? You barely knew her"

"Don't you dare insinuate that I'm acting crazy right now! We lost a possible ally to save our daughter's life from slavery because of your annoying stupidity and paranoia. God, I hope she will wake up otherwise-"

Klaus scoffs "Otherwise what?" he challenges with a smirk.

"I don't know but you'll regret it!" I yell, I sigh exhausted by his attitude "I'll freaking strangle you... And oh no more sex!"

Klaus looks at us in disbelief "The way you defend this stranger OVER me is ridiculous. Besides I'm sure she wakes up soon, you don't lie about immortality and such, unless you want to get killed"

Elijah says sarcastically "And Yes. Of course, if she if wakes, she'll be willing to help us with unbridled enthusiasm."

Klaus scoffs "She played you all for fools. Can you not see that? She spins a sad yarn about a small child taken by an evil witch, and you both fall over yourselves to mend what's broken!"

Rebekah says annoyed "How can you be so certain?"

Klaus smirks "Simple. It's exactly what I'd do." Elijah rolls his eyes in annoyance and kneels down to check on Freya "My only question now is what's in it for her."

"Well, whatever the truth may be, she's in no position to help us now," says Elijah.

Rebekah glares furiously at Klaus "Well, then we should try Marcel. Perhaps he's had luck on his end." She turns to Klaus and shoots him another glare "Surely he's put in a better effort."

Rebekah storms out of the room to leave for Marcel's apartment, and after a moment, Elijah follows after her. Klaus calls out after them.

Klaus says loudly "You know I'm right, Elijah." Elijah stops and turns back to Klaus, fed up with his attitude "We can't have an alliance with someone we can't trust."

Elijah however is unamused "You don't trust her, and that is your choice. I only hope that choice comes from a place of reason, not fear."

He turns to go to Marcel's loft, leaving me and Klaus alone in the living room with Freya's unconscious body.

"Don't tell me your mad at me for killing some stranger" said Klaus said in incredulity when we were left alone.

"I'm mad at you because you don't include me in your plans but your not the only parent here. Remember that"

Klaus clenches his jaw "You begged me to do whatever was necessary and that's what I'm doing"

I chuckle bitterly "Well you suck at it, you might have ruined a chance to have a powerful ally. You killed her before we could even find out about the weapon to kill Dahlia"

"You know, I've spent all day with people who claim to be fighting for our daughter. Some I trust, some I do not, but one thing is for sure, that there is only one person that I trust when it comes to my child's safety, and that would be me!" yells Klaus surprising me by his anger.

"You know, you all seem to think this is a democracy. I assure you it is not!" he continues "If Dahlia is coming, then she is a threat to my child, which means I decide how to protect her, no one else! And anyone strays from the course that I set, then they will answer to me."

"Even me? What you'll kill me if I don't agree with your plans? And what are you going to tell our daughters, sorry I killed your mother she was a pain in the ass"

"I'd never do that" he denies. "I would never hurt you much less kill you"

I scoff "I don't even think you believe that. I never wanted to take them from you, but if anyone tries to take my daughters they will pay the price. Even if it's you"

I sigh when I heard the twins cry on the baby monitor. Their nap was over and I didn't have time for his evil plans or tantrums "Look I have to take care of the twins, OUR daughters not just yours. Keep me updated on the situation" I ordered him with a warning look to which he rolled his eyes. "And be nice to your sister, it looks like she went through a lot with Dahlia. You might bond over your horrible parents" I said before leaving the room to tend to the twins.

Apparently, Freya was indeed telling the truth, she was immortal. She woke up an hour later and Klaus had a chat with her, which I can imagine was dreadful to her considering how stubborn he could be. After speaking with Freya, Klaus wanted to have a chat with Elijah, and I decided it could do the twins some good to get out as well. Besides, I also wanted to see Elijah's apartment and maybe found some clues on his new girlfriend. So I put the twins in their stroller, with a blanket and their stuffed animals. Better not have them crying hysterically at Elijah's apartment because I forgot it.

"So what did you learn about Freya?" I asked him as we were walking towards Elijah's apartment.

"She does hate Dahlia, but she's desperate...I can use that to my advantage however we must remain cautious with her. I'll tell you more when Elijah will be also present"

"Okay, so you do admit she is your sister?" I said with a teasing smile.

"She might be my sister by blood but I wasn't raised with her. I do not know this woman nor want to" Klaus sneers.

"But if we defeat Dahlia-"

"When we defeat Dahlia. I have known you more confident love"

"I know but she scares me" I admit. She wanted to take something I loved more than anything. And I wowed myself that my daughters would never be abused like I was. But if Dahlia gets her hands on Kolina, she will suffer as Freya did."I was saying when we defeat Dahlia and Freya is still sticking around you should try to get to know her. You have a lot of common" I suggest.

He scoffs "Nonsense"

"Whatever you know I'm always right, it's like my super-power. I think we're here" I said when we arrive at what I believe is Elijah's apartment. It wasn't that far from the compound. Maybe we could come more often to visit him. I could even surprise him when he is when his new girlfriend, and found out who the mystery girl was.

"Wait... " Klaus stopped me before I could go further. I raised my eyebrows at him waiting for him to continue "I'm sorry for not including in my plans. I acted on impulse, and you a right, as their mother you should be aware of anything regarding their security. But...can't you trust me on this?"

I sigh "Of course I trust you, that's why I still haven't ripped your eyes out. I know you want them safe, and you'll do anything but we both want the same thing Nick, and we work better together and not against each other"

Klaus opens his mouth to say something but he stops when he hears Kayla cry. I sigh when I noticed her stuffed animal on the floor, now certainly dirty. She kept throwing that thing and my back was hurting from always picking it up. She was the most work between the twins.

"God not again" I mumble exhausted.

Klaus goes over and picks us the stuffed animal on the ground.

"It's all dirty now" I complain. "She keeps putting it on her mouth so we can't give it back to her. I'll have to clean this again."

However, that didn't sit quite with Kayla who kept crying because she wanted her toy. Klaus sighs and takes Kayla from her stroller "Come here sweetheart, sh sh it's okay"

Kayla was still crying but less loudly, she slowly stops when Klaus puts her purple baby pacifier in her mouth, which said "Daddy's favorite". It was of course him that bought it.

"She keeps throwing this and then cries because she wants me to give it back to her, I'm not some dog" I complain once again.

"She sure is a lot like you," he said with a smirk while he was looking at Kayla who was now biting his finger with her growing teeth. She also threw or more spit out the baby pacifier.

I knock on the door and open it without an answer, hoping to maybe catch Elijah with his new lady friend. I hoped I would meet the mystery girl soon.

"Suit were are here with the twins, so if you have a naked guest tell her to put on some clothes quickly," I tell as we enter the apartment. Klaus who was still holding Kayla in his arms chuckled at my statement.

When we arrive inside Elijah's new apartment, when find cleaning up the main room.

"Look at that" I said to Klaus "this man is perfect he even does the cleaning"

"I wasn't expecting you," said Elijah surprised.

"They wanted to see uncle Elijah's new apartment, right my little devils," I said as I went to the stroller and picked up Kolina.

"Here take her," I said to Elijah who smiled at Kolina, he took her without complaints "they don't like staying too long in their stroller and my back hurts" I finished touching dramatically my back.

I went over to the living room and literally fall on the couch exhausted. I may have made this a little bit overdramatic. "Oh, you two can't imagine how hard it is to take care of two babies! My back hurts so much and I'm supposed to be a vampire."

Besides I had an advantage other mothers didn't, I was a freaking witch. So I could close the door, turn off the lights, and do many useful things a normal mother couldn't. But I still had two babies and that was a lot of work.

Elijah frowns "I can always take care of them when you need some rest" he proposes as he sits down on the couch, Kolina on his lap. Klaus follows Elijah and does the same.

"Oh, that so sweet Eli I'm sure they will be happy to spend some time with their favorite uncle"

Klaus scoff and tells Elijah "Your assistance is not needed I can spend time with my daughters"

"Wait are you jealous?" I asked surprised.

"Nonsense"

"He is." confirmed Elijah, and then turned to Klaus "You did the same with Marcellus. But Kolina and Kayla are your daughters by blood, and I would never be able to replace that. I merely wish to be their uncle"

"Yeah what he said," told Elizabeth. "You know what I need now? A drink. So why don't you serve me a drink lija, not to your brother he's been naughty today he can't stop himself from killing his siblings"

"That's always had been an issue of his" teased Elijah smiling as he went to grab a drink for Elizabeth, leaving Kolina on the couch.

"Do you recall that I can hear the both of you?" asked Klaus annoyed making the both of us laugh.

Elijah comes back with a glass of water making me glare at him. "I want a real drink Suits, not this. You know what I'm going to serve myself"

I go over to his kitchen and find a bottle of wine. I grab the bottle and open it, drinking from it. Exactly what I needed, some alcohol. It's been a while since I drunk some actually. I take a glass of wine and go back to the living room with the bottle.

"Oh man, I miss Zima" I mumbled when I sit on the couch drinking a glass of wine. "I wished I took some before living the prison world"

"I don't understand your obsession with Zima. There a reason they are not making it anymore, love. It's because it was never good in the first place. Honestly, I drunk this beverage only once and-"

I cut him off irritated by punching him in the arm making him chuckle "Take that back".

"I won't lie even if you force me with the most brutal torture" he teased me. And then he looked at Elijah "So this is where you live. It's nicer on the inside.

I nod "It's very you I think, like bachelor businessmen who read the newspaper every morning"

"I agree," said Klaus smirking

Elijah who is still annoyed at Klaus from earlier "Can I help you, Niklaus, or did you cross the river purely to critique my decor?"

Elijah begins lighting candles as Klaus talks "I thought you might like to know I was moved by what you said about my decision not to trust our long lost sister, so I waited until she revived, and when she did, we had quite a chat."

"And your position remains unchanged?" asked Elijah curiously.

Klaus shrugs "I looked in her eyes, and I saw only anger and fear, the will to do whatever it takes to survive no matter who she hurts. I can use her to my own ends, but I could never allow so damaged a creature to have a say in my plans-"

Elijah interrupts Klaus "You may not trust her, but trust me, brother. We may have had our differences of late, but we shall exercise the same caution we have always demonstrated towards our allies."

Klaus rolls his eyes "Fine. I'll let you pursue it, but should Freya betray us-"

Elijah interrupts Klaus again "-If Freya should even attempt to betray us, I shall bury her beneath a thousand wretched torments."

I laugh a little too loudly, but the alcohol was getting to my head. I was buzzed. "Nice Eli"

Klaus however is unamused "I don't doubt it, but what if you're too late?" Elijah sighs in frustration, and the twins "What if Freya is duplicitous? What if Kolina should be harmed through her actions? You won't have to worry that I will never forgive you because you will never forgive yourself. You will suffer a guilt that will be impossible to endure." Klaus grabs Elijah's arm and forces him to look at him, but Elijah just sighs and gives him an unimpressed look "A terrible fate for one who cannot die."

"Nothing is unkillable Nick, there is always a loophole" I correct him.

Klaus hums "Which is why we will find Dahlia's loophole. We know for sure now that Freya is immortal and Dahlia must share the same fate, which puts a kink in our plans."

"Nothing will happen to that child," said Elijah looking at Kolina with a sad smile "but we have to consider every weapon at our disposal, brother. Dahlia is coming. The only question is when."

"Ugh don't say things like that Eli, it freaks me out!" I said loudly a grimace on my face.

Elijah sighs and admits "We have to face the reality Elizabeth, and be prepared for when she comes"

I nod but I'm near tears. Damn you alcohol for making me weak and emotional "I know, I know I'm just used to ignore my problems hoping they disappear. Can't she just go steal another baby? Why does it have to be mine?"

"Unfortunately being a Mikealson means they inherited our enemies, such as Dahlia. They don't deserve this. They are so innocent" said Elijah sadly.

"Ugh I need one more drink" I mumbled as I took the bottle of wine and served another glass. The bottle was almost empty. But it wasn't like I wasn't used to it. I would do worse in the prison world. It was easier to deal with killing yourself when you were freaking drunk. Besides I had nothing else to do other than get drunk.

"I think that's enough love," Klaus said taking the glass and bottle from her. And Elizabeth had no force to fight so she gave in, although she was irritated. She didn't being told what to do. Soon her eyes give up to exhaustion.

"Did she just fall asleep?" asked Klaus surprised.

"It appears so brother"

Klaus sigh and takes a blanket and puts it over her sleeping body. The twins were also sleeping in their stroller a cute pink blanket covering them.

"She looks exhausted," remarked Elijah.

Klaus sighed "She's barely letting them out of her sight. She even makes them sleep with us instead of their nursery because it's too far from her. And she keeps holding Kolina in her arms. I'm not surprised she's bloody exhausted"

He had helped her take care of the twins of course, but she still insisted on doing most of the job. And he was busy lately, with his mother, his father, his newfound older sister, and a whole lot of other problems that had to do with the twin's safety.

"I can't wait until I'm holding that bloody witch's heart in my hand," he says viciously.

"For once I completely agree with you brother"
