"Because, apparently, you can't leave your newly awakened siblings alone with a phone in their hands."

Short chapter, just for fun.


Elijah sighed, his eyes meeting the angered face of his younger brother, Klaus. Truly, this wasn't how things were supposed to go.

He did plan on waking their family, soon. Just not now and most certainly not all of them together. Actually, to be completely honest, he wasn't even sure he was going to remove the daggers in this century, he just wanted the coffins away from his younger brother.

Klaus had finished his ritual and he was now officially an hybrid, the "strongest" supernatural on earth (but then again, he might be the strongest but he was scared of their family. Mostly their younger brother, seeing as he was a wild card) and they reappeared in the teacher's apartment, Elijah eager to take a look at the siblings he thought were lost in the depth of the ocean.

The sight that greeted them was anything but familiar, though. It might have been the angry look on Niklaus' face, that seemed to get redder by the second, or the gaping fish expression on Katerina's face. Finn pulled away at his heartstrings, because he looked as confused and as miserable as he did nine hundreds of years before; Rebekah glared at the doppelganger, her eyes fiery as she snarled at the vampire, her blonde hair still in her 20s up-do; Kol… was Kol?

He was probably the reason, Elijah would summarize later that night.

Kol was splayed on the couch, his long arm dangling off of the fake-leather furniture. One of his hands was circled around a black box, his face lighted up by Klaus' brand new iPhone. Seconds later, they all heard various types of sirens heading in the direction of the human's apartment.

Yes, that's why and when Elijah lost it. He started laughing, crazily so, as his siblings shouted at each other and Klaus yelled in pain when a few daggers found way in his stomach. Katerina looked around, scared and confused, and that only seemed to add to Elijah's already crazed mind.

That's how the police force found them. Klaus, strangely, looking like the more calm out of everyone, Rebekah and Kol staring desperately at the now crushed mobile phone, Katerina a shaking mess and Finn standing in front of the TV as it showed a new episode of one of those teen-angst tv series.

Elijah? He was still laughing, his suit covered arms clutching at his stomach as tears left his eyes. Yes, this wasn't how things were supposed to go. Elijah didn't mind, though.
