"I suppose we don't have much choice." Klaus admits with a nod at his brother. "To the Martin's it is."

Then he's beside me, lifting me from Caroline's side gently. My new found friend seems unsure of what to do. "You're not kidnapping my friend right?" She asks him, looking ready to kick his ass as I settle into his chest with a content sigh.

Perhaps I can continue my lazy Kitty ways. I'm only missing the fact that I am in fact, unfortunately not a Kitty. I hear Niklaus let out a small sigh.

"No."

"Hmm." I agree. "You have a comfy bed where you're taking me right?" I know they agreed on the Martin's but anyone can lie so..

He chuckles a little, I can feel the movement in his chest at the action and the warmth. "Yes, love. There will be."

"Then you can get all sacrificy or whatever."

"What sacrifice?" Caroline asks sharply as she try's to keep up behind Klaus's long strides.

I hear Elijah say something but I'm honestly just comfortable and considering the last.. however long that was I could move right here and be satisfied right now. But I will need to call my Aunt and Cousin and have a conversation with them.

"Tomorrow Care." I say with a yawn.

Niklaus looked frustrated but he didn't speak as we walked, allowing Caroline and his brother to chat behind us. His jaw was clenched tightly and his arms were tight around my body but protective. My friend, Caroline - who I definitely believe is my friend was following along beside Elijah. She began happily and cheerfully chatting away. (With the promise of explaining the whole sacrifice thing). My head lolls against Nik's shoulder as I submit to my unexpected exhaustion.

When I came too Klaus was sitting beside me with a few inches or so between him and I. But he wasn't touching me, just reading something. "Awake now, love?"

He chuckles softly as I yawn and hmm before closing my eyes again and turning on my side. "Your friend - Caroline is waiting impatiently for you to wake. That and she appears to be enjoying my brothers company. But, many do."

Grumbling I freeze in place and then sit up quickly to look at him, almost knocking him off the bed. "Where are we?"

"The Martin's." Nik replies as he turns the page in his book. "Just as I had said."

"As long as it's not a dungeon." I admit with a yawn. "I should call my cousin and my aunt. Can you uncompel compelled people?"

"No." He comments shortly, but not angrily. "I cannot. Is that why neither of them attempted to save you?"

I shrug, as I feel myself frown. "Jeremy didn't look like he wanted them to do anything. But Damon has killed him before." I remember that. "And Bonnie doesn't trust him either. My guess is that there was a threat thrown in somewhere or Stefan decided that Damon was right and convinced them, sort of. They didn't look very convinced last time."

"Yes. They looked rather uncomfortable." He agrees reluctantly. "But that doesn't mean that they can be trusted. I will meet you in the living room, my witches are there as well."

With a sigh I get out of the bed that had been basically mine before my.. removal or whatever. Grabbing some of the clothes from the closet I quickly go into the bathroom and shower. When I come into the living room I can see all of the Martin's standing in the kitchen talking in whispers. Seeing Caroline on the couch I sit beside her.

"So." She says with a arched eyebrow as she crosses her arms over her chest. "What sacrifice?"

"The one that unlocks Nik's wolfie side!" I say with a grin and a wink, then adding in a whisper. "Hot as hell too."

Caroline giggles and lets out a small squeal before pausing to frown. "Wait, but you have to be killed?"

I shrug my shoulders, aware that the original twosome was most likely listening in. "For a bit. Unless they can work around the whole 'you need doppelgänger blood to make hybrids' madness then I'll have to be brought back somehow."

"I don't believe you." Klaus snaps from behind us. "There's no way that you could possibly know that."

"There is. But it's totally cool if you don't bring me back afterwards. I am hoping to become a kitten after I die you know?"

Elijah shakes his head as his brothers eyes narrow on me. "You know Nik, I don't think I've heard anyone talk about their own death so.."

"Callously." Nik finishes for his brother looking thoroughly unimpressed, whether it's with me or his brother though I don't know.

I shrug my shoulders and look at Caroline. "Kittens can lay anywhere they want to and sleep anywhere they want to too. Not to mention that they are resourceful and can take care of themselves even without a human. They domesticated themselves you know?"

"Wait." Caroline says in slight amusement. "Are you being serious? Since when did you even know that?"

"Heard it somewhere. It's all pretty interesting you know?"

"Is that why you tried to sleep in our sink?" Luka jokes in amusement.

"Hahaha." I retort back and stick my tongue out at him, then I glance at his sister. "Greta right? It's a pleasure to meet you, please don't die while sacrificing me. It wouldn't be very cool."

She opens her mouth to comment when I glance at Maddox. "Hey Maddy. How's the cranky Wolfie?"

The man gapes at me as I hear Nik growl behind me. "Fine." Maddox replies reluctantly as he side eyes Klaus, obviously unsure of whether he was allowed to answer or not.

"Elena." Nik begins darkly.

Glancing at him innocently I raise an eyebrow at him. "Yes?"

I can see him take a breathe through his nose "Lets get back to planning the ritual."

"Of course dear."

Behind me Elijah coughs and I hear a few poorly disguised laughs along with a small snarl. You know.. Trevor must of fled when he saw Nik. Not that I blame him, by technicalities he actually did betray the Mikaelson's, unlike Katerina who had every right to run away if she wanted to. It's not like she was all like 'sure, sacrifice me big bad hybrid' so yeah. That and they outright lied to her, most people aren't giddy at the opportunity to be sacrificed.

So, what followed after that was convincing Nik to sign almost the same contract that Elijah did. Can't have him killing my Aunt and Cousin before I get to meet them after all and I do need to be alive until the sacrifice at least.

"You have no issue with me ripping the hearts out of the Salvatore's then?" Klaus asks in amusement as a drop of his blood lands on the paper to seal the deal.

I raise an eyebrow at him and shake my head. "Should I? It's not like I have any pleasant feelings for them. Some would claim that it's biased of me to say so.. maybe. But if knock yourself out."

"And if I wanted to.. bring one or both of them in as allies?" He questions as Caroline growls lowly and shakes her head in disgust.

"Then I refuse to be in the same room as either of them." I reply cautiously. "I personally don't like them."

Caroline nods sharply. "I don't like them either, at all. Although I did like Stefan."

I nod my head, while watching the tv show I personally preferred Damon for his humor but I also didn't like him. Oddly enough I preferred the Mikaelson siblings. Not that any of them didn't have their own issues though. Honestly, they need family therapy or something because the constant conflict that they throw themselves into cannot be good for them.

After the contract was signed in their blood Klaus stepped out with both of his witches. "Do you think that the doppelgänger is right?" He asks them, it is possible that she is.

Of everything that she seems to be, a liar does not appear to be one, she is somehow different. In what way he's not entirely sure though.

"That you need her blood?" Maddox asks curiously. "Maybe. But you could gather her blood before the ritual and then allow her to die regardless."

"Maddox is right." Greta adds, feeling a bit reluctant after noticing the way her brother watched Elena with worry as they discussed it. "But, what if you need her blood from after the ritual and it doesn't work the same from before it?"

The hybrid holds in a growl and then dismisses them. He has always hated uncertainty. It makes him wary, hopefully it will not be too complicated. Too many options are available without an ironclad result. The what if's are not something he enjoys, what if's get you killed.. or almost killed. He is unkillable after all.
