3rd Person POV

Klaus sat on the ground of the basement early in the morning, his wrists and ankles bound by chains to the wall. The chains had been cursed by a witch to ensure no magical nor supernatural being would be able to break free of them. Only the one who had detained them would be able to free them, which in this case was his noble brother who leant against the far wall, his jacket hanging on a hook nearby along with his tie, and his sleeves rolled up. He and Finn had spent the night trying to get through to their hybrid half-brother although nothing had worked so far. Finn had retired to his room earlier on in the night as he had plans for the day, but Elijah had stayed with Klaus. He had lost it last night with Elena and almost seriously injured her never mind the fact that he had been prepared to attack their other brother Kol, who had only been trying to protect Elena from the livid hybrid. No one wished to discuss what Klaus had said about the doppelganger being 'his.'

Klaus had spent the night being tortured and tormented by his regret but he still couldn't quite control his wolf nature which screamed at him to go claim, the sleeping soundly just two floors up, Elena as his own.

Elijah was beginning to give up when finally his brother conceded, "I'm sorry Elijah may I be released now?" Klaus sounded truly sincere although Elijah knew better than to trust him.

"Niklaus I do not doubt that you regret your actions last night however I do not trust it will not happen again and so we are going to stay here and you are going to tell me truthfully of your feelings for Elena because I will not allow last night to repeat itself understood?" Elijah tried his best to be the elder sibling and guide his siblings in the right direction but they often made it harder than it was worth.

"Can we at least take this somewhere else Elijah? Somewhere preferably with plenty of alcohol," Klaus sighed.

The elder of the pair rolled his eyes before finally conceding, "Fine we may but it is only the early hours of the morning so it'd be in your best interest if you at least tried to remain quiet." He walked towards the younger brother and unshackled him.

Klaus stood and popped his bones that had grew stiff from being stuck in the same place all night and nodded, "Of course brother we wouldn't want to wake my doppelganger now would we?"

Elijah sighed and walked off back to his room, intent on showering then changing. Klaus followed wishing to do the same.

After both had made themselves presentable they had met at the front door and drove off to the Mystic Grill which was the closest bar to their residence. They sat at the bar and compelled themselves two bottles of bourbon along with two tumblers, although Klaus decided to just drink straight from the bottle, deciding he'd need to be smashed to have this conversation.

A bottle each later Klaus finally found the courage to speak up about his feelings regarding the most recent doppelganger. "She's just so much like Tatia you know?" Elijah murmured his agreement. "Except she's different. She's so affectionate and forgiving. I don't know what to make of her. She kissed me you know? But then she slapped me, right across the face," Klaus' face turned downwards as Elijah chuckled at the image of the small human hitting the big bad hybrid. "She's just so damned confusing, does she want me or not? My wolf side wants nothing more than to claim her but I don't know if it's just lust filled attraction. But then I get jealous of how close she is to you, Finn and Kol, she stays so distant from me and I want to feel the closeness that you guys get to share with her! Is that really so bad?! I hate how I know you and the others feel for her because I want her just for me!" Klaus sighed and took a swig from his newly opened whisky bottle as Elijah did the same, long forgetting about their tumblers, now sitting in a booth.

Elijah, now without his tie and suit jacket with some buttons undone on his shirt and his sleeves rolled up, looking so natural, sighed, "I agree she is an enigma, we kissed and she slapped me also. She must think that all we see in her is Tatia because since that day she has been avoiding spending time with me, instead favouring Kol and Finn, who she in aware had no feelings for her ancestors. Perhaps we need to show her that she is wrong brother? All I know is that I want her and I will fight you all to get her. I'm done with stepping aside and allowing everyone to take what is mine just because I am supposed to be the honourable brother."

Klaus smirked, "Then I guess we have a competition on our hands, care to place a wager?"

Elijah mirrored his brother's expression, "What did you have in mind brother?"

"Whoever can get Elena into bed first can have her for the rest of her life, if that is what she chooses, without interference from the others?" Klaus decided.

Elijah nodded in agreement, "We shall inform Finn and Kol of the wager when we return home." Suddenly his phone began ringing, "Speak of the devil and he shall appear." He pressed the answer button and brought it to his ear, "Hello?" He asked curious to see why his youngest brother was interrupting their drinking session.

"Elijah? It's Kol, Elena she's gone. I've looked everywhere and she's not here. Elijah what if she's ran away? Nik will ki-"Kol started and Elijah attempted to keep himself from laughing as the brother across from him was.

"Kol she's out with Rebekah, they're having a girls day/night. There's no need to have a panic attack," They laughed again as Elijah reassured their youngest brother. Suddenly Kol hung up with a growl, clearly angered by his brothers' reactions.

Klaus and Elijah continued to laugh, "He is so whipped," Klaus spoke between laughs which brought forth a whole new session of laughter.

Once their laughter subsided they continued to drink and joke around until they noticed darkness starting to take over the sky outside. They were both too drunk to drive so they decided to run home which led to multiple tumbles and breaks for laughter from the other before they finally reached home.

As Klaus slammed the door open, stumbling slightly with Elijah on his tail he shouted up the stairs in the angriest tone he could muster up in his drunken state, "Kol come here!" Both Elijah and Klaus burst out laughing at his pathetic attempt at an angry tone.

Kol and Finn came walking down the stairs together, cautious and confused at their brothers actions. It wasn't like Elijah to be so drunk and childish. Plus they knew their half-brother was going to be absolutely enraged when he found out about what Finn had done.

Klaus' face seemed to light up like a Christmas tree at the sight of his brothers, "Ahh Kol and Finn, even better. I and Elijah have placed a wager… whoever can get into Elena's panties first can have her for the rest of eternity!" He laughed along with Elijah, as Kol and Finn's jaw's dropped, shocked that Elijah would agree to that, "If that's what she wants of course." The youngest and eldest brothers in the room were speechless, what were they to say? "Well are you in or not?" Klaus asked becoming slightly irritated at their reactions, sometimes they were no fun.

Kol seemed to come to his senses first, "Sure, although I'm sure after a night with me Elena definitely won't want to be with any of you," He answered cockily, a smirk matching Elijah's and Klaus' making its way on his face.

"What about you Finn?" Elijah finally spoke.

Finn sighed and nodded, "Fine but we have more pressing subjects to discuss, Kol has already been briefed, if you would join me in the living room." He walked to the room he'd suggested having no doubt that his brothers would follow.

Elijah and Klaus seemed to sober up at that and did as their brother had suggested, Klaus taking a seat on his armchair as Elijah stood and Kol laid back on a couch, his long legs dangling over one of the arms and his head resting on the other. Although he appeared relaxed he was ready to detain any of his elder brothers, knowing all were unpredictable, not that he could say much though. Finn stood in front of all of his younger brothers, all their eyes on him.

Finn sighed, "I went looking for Sage today, I was following up the lead about her having relations with the elder Salvatore. I wished to know of her residence but Mr Salvatore would not tell me unless I told him how to get Elena back," suddenly Finn was pinned to the wall, a hand around his neck, he expected it from Niklaus but instead on the hand belonging to the hybrid, it belonged to Elijah.

"What did you do Finn?" He growled under his breath, and Kol sped over to where his eldest brothers were staring each other down and placed his hand on Elijah's arm, ready to pull him of Finn, while Klaus remained in his spot, his face unreadable.

Elijah dropped Finn to the floor, walking back to his previous spot as Kol stayed put ready to protect his brother if push came to shove once again, and the eldest held his throat still in shock from what had just ensued. He thought Elijah wanted the best for Elena. "I told him about a secret passage at the back of the property and of the best time to take Elena."

Klaus chuckled surprising everyone, this side of Klaus was much more dangerous than the angry side, and finally spoke up "Of course you did, lovesick fool! And where is your prize bride? I expect you found her of course!"

Finn looked down in shame, "She was staying with the Salvatore's all that time and I lost my temper and it's over now."

Elijah spoke up once again "So you mean to tell us that you practically gave Elena back for someone you didn't even want? You do know the pain they put her though do you not? They practically ripped her in half, constantly stuck in between those stupid children!" Finn felt even more shame as his brother spoke. "What do you propose we do Niklaus? We cannot allow them to take her."

Kol butt in before Klaus could answer, "Well isn't it clear? We should be the one's waiting for them instead of Elena and we should rip them apart!"

The sound of the door opening caused all conversations to cease. "We will continue this later, Rebekah wishes to have a family night to show Elena that we're not just monsters" Elijah got the last word and they nodded in agreement before they all walked into the hall, wishing to see Elena after the long day they've all had without her.

They all gaped at her new look unable to speak until Kol broke the uncomfortable silence.

"Wow…"
