"You look surprised to see me. I guess it wasn't you that removed the dagger from my chest." Elijah said to them as he sees the surprised looks on both of them. He knew that they didn't do it.

"You look like you could do with a drink. And we have a lot to discuss, so shall we?" Elijah didn't answer him as then he used his vampire speed and attacked Klaus, making him flying through the window. "Easy! I just finished renovating!" Klaus hissed at him as then he attacked him back. "You know, you have every right to be mad at me, but I kept my word. I reunited you with our family." Elijah attacked him again, pushed him into the room where the coffins are. Elijah came to him as Klaus undaggered Kol and threatened Elijah. "Don't make me do this to you again, Elijah! Come on."

Elijah held his hands in surrender position. "Come on. Use it. I dare you. You'll have Kol to death with." He said to him as they made a quick look at Kol.

"Mikael is dead." Brooklyn said to Elijah as she wanted them to stop with fighting.

"What did you say?" Elijah asked to Brooklyn.

Then Klaus answered instead of Brooklyn. "I killed him. With his own weapon. He's gone, Elijah, forever."

"Why do our family remain in these coffins? Finn for over 900 years, Kol for over a century." Elijah said to him.

"Because of Stefan Salvatore. He holds the one thing keeping me from freeing them. There are things that you do not know about our past, Elijah. Our mother's death. Things I never wanted you to know. But I'm ready to tell you now. I only ask that you remember the oath of loyalty you once swore to me." Klaus explained it to him as then he dipped the dagger with the white oak ash and he walked to Kol.

"What are you doing?" Elijah asked to him as Klaus daggered Kol again.

"Always and forever. I need you to stand by my side. Be my brother. Help me… Destroy Stefan, and I promise you, our family will be whole again." Klaus said to him as he closed the coffin from Kol.

Then later Brooklyn wanted the leave the mansion as then Klaus held her up.

"Why don't you stay were for the night love?" Klaus asked to her. "After all is getting late."

"I want to be with our daughter." Brooklyn replied to him. "She misses you, you know."

"Why don't you bring Rose here, she can be with us." Klaus suggested.

"As you said is getting late, why don't I bring her here tomorrow." Brooklyn suggested back as she looked at him. "Also I wanted to bring Diana here."

"Is she breakfast?" Klaus asked amused.

"No, she is my friend and a witch." Brooklyn replied as she was a little angry about the question.

"Sorry, love." Klaus said to her. "Don't bite my head off." He smirked at her.

Then Brooklyn saw he makes a joke about. "I won't bite your head off, Nik." She laughed at him.

Klaus laughed with her as then he said to her. "Of course your friend can come."

Then Brooklyn went over to hug him. "Thank you, Nik."

"Your welcome, love." Klaus said to her as then he had an idea. "Why don't come live here, with our daughter and maybe even your friend if she want it."

"Really?" Brooklyn asked to him as he nodded to her. All he wants to be Brooklyn and his daughter to be happy. "Thank you, Nik!" Then Brooklyn kissed Klaus.

Then they went apart as then Klaus said to her. "Now go, love. I will see you in the morning with our daughter."

Brooklyn nodded at him. "I will." Then Brooklyn walked now really away and she went to her car as then she drove away from the mansion.

The next morning, Brooklyn was talking to Diana about the suggestion that Klaus had said to her.

"He told me that he wanted that Rose and me to live with him as he said even you can live there with us." Brooklyn explained it to her.

"I don't want to move right now." Diana said to her. "Maybe later…"

"But you are saved with us back in the mansion." Brooklyn argued.

"I'm a witch remember." Diana argued back.

Brooklyn sighed at her friend. "Okay." Brooklyn said in defeat. "But let me know when you want to live with us, right?"

"I will let you know." Diana replied to her.

"Okay." Brooklyn said as then she walked to the stuff from herself and her daughter. Then she looked at her daughter. "Come on, Rose. We are leaving."

"Okay, mommy." Rose said to her mother as she had her jacket on.

Then Brooklyn turned to look at Diana. "Help me with my stuff and my daughters."

Dian nodded and helped her with the stuff from both her and her daughter. Then not much later they done with that.

Brooklyn looked Diana as then she hugged her friend. "Thank you, for everything."

"You are welcome, Brooklyn." Diana said to her.

Brooklyn nodded at her as then she helped her daughter first into the car as then she stepped into the car. She started the car as then she called to Diana. "Bye."

"Bye." Diana called back as then Brooklyn drove away from Diana's house.

Then later Brooklyn arrived at the mansion as then she saw Klaus already standing there. He walked to the car and helped Rose getting out of the car as then Brooklyn stepped out of the car. Then Rose was out the car as then Klaus looked at Brooklyn. "The bags can be pick up by the staff." He said to her. "They will bring it to our room and the room of Rose."

"Thank you, Nik." Brooklyn said to him.

"You welcome, love." Klaus said to her as then he looked at their daughter. "You love the house, sweetheart."

"Yes, daddy." Rose said to her father as she looked from him to the house.

"Come, let's go inside." Klaus said to the both of the girls.

Brooklyn nodded to him as then Rose beamed. "Okay, daddy." She grabbed his hand as she pushed him forwards.

"She is really excited, Nik." Brooklyn said as she smiled at them.

"I can see that." Klaus comment to her, happily.

Then they arrived inside of the mansion as then Rose comment. "It's huge." She looked around the place. "It's like a palace."

"It's a mansion, sweetie." Brooklyn explained.

Rose looked at her mother. "No." She shook with her head. "It's a palace and we live in it."

"If that's want you want to believe, then yeah it's like a palace." Brooklyn comment to her daughter as Klaus laughed a little at that.

"Can I see my room?" Rose asked happily.

"Of course, princess." Klaus replied to his daughter. He is happy to give his daughter a great home to live her in it.

They saw already the staff grabbed the bags and walked upstairs as then Klaus motion to Brooklyn and Rose to follow him. They followed him as then they arrived by the room from Rose. Klaus opened the door as then they saw lots of toys and a big bed. Rose walked to the toys and she began to play with them.

"Where is our room, Nik?" Brooklyn asked to him.

"Next to our daughter's room." Klaus replied to her as then he walked out of the room and showed Brooklyn their room.

"Won't Rose noticed that we are in another room?" Brooklyn said to him.

"No, she is busy to try the toys out." Klaus said to her.

Then he opened the door to their room as then Brooklyn stared at the room as she walked inside of it. "Wow, it's beautiful, Nik." She said to him.

"Thank you, love." Klaus said to her as he looked at her.

"Your welcome." Brooklyn said as then she went to him and then she kissed him.

Just then before they could anything further their daughter walked into the room. "Mommy, Daddy?" She asked to them as they went apart, looking embarrassed.

"Yes, sweetie." Brooklyn replied to her as then she looked at her daughter.

"I'm a little bit hungry." Rose said to her.

"Okay, let's get something to eat, sweetie." Brooklyn to her daughter as then she looked at Klaus as then he nodded to her as he understands as they didn't know where the kitchen was.

He is guiding them to the kitchen as then not much later, they are arrived into the kitchen. "This is the kitchen." He said to them.

"Wow, I love it." Brooklyn comment. "But where is the refrigerator?"

"Over there." Klaus replied to her as he pointed at the corner, where stands a large refrigerator.

"Thank you." Brooklyn said happily to him as she went to the refrigerator and opened it as then she grabbed something to eat for Rose. Rose was sitting by the table as then Brooklyn put the food into the oven. A few minutes it was done as then she gave the food to her daughter. "Well blow when eating, it is still hot." She warned her daughter as then she nodded to her mother. Then Brooklyn decided to help her daughter, she blow it for her as then Rose can eat it.

Then later Rose was done with the food as then she wanted to go upstairs and play with the dolls and then Elijah had come inside of the house. He told them that he wanted to have dinner with the Salvatore brothers. Also they wanted to discuss about a new deal with Klaus. Then later as Elijah was done with talking to them, Brooklyn decided to go upstairs and goes looking at her daughter as not much later Klaus was by her.

Brooklyn walked into the room from Rose and found her sleeping on the ground. "Ssstt, she asleep." She whispered to Klaus.

Klaus nodded to her. "I see that." He said to her as then he walked to their sleeping daughter and he picked her up and put her into the bed. Also Brooklyn walked to him and their daughter and she kissed her daughter's forehead as then she looked at Klaus.

"We will let her sleep." She whispered to him.

"Yes, good idea." Klaus whispered back as then they walked out of Rose's room. "Are you fine with it, that Stefan Salvatore is coming?"

"Yes, why wouldn't I?" Brooklyn asked back.

"Because he threatened you." Klaus replied to her.

"I know I was there as then I threatened him back if he ever threatened me again I will kill him by myself." Brooklyn explained it to him.

"My queen." Klaus comment amused. "Very brave." Then he kissed her.

"Niklaus if would quiet with the kissing and getting ready for the dinner with the Salvatore brothers." Elijah called to Klaus annoyed.

Then they went apart as they blushed, then Brooklyn said to Klaus. "He's right, Nik."

"He's always right, sweetheart." Klaus said to her.

Brooklyn nodded as then they were getting to their room to get ready for the dinner.

Then later Klaus and Brooklyn were ready for the dinner as then they waited for the guests to arrive. Then not much later they heard a door bell as then Elijah walked to the door and called to Klaus and Brooklyn. "Niklaus, Brooklyn, our guests have arrived."

They walked inside of the dining room as then Klaus walked a little bit forwards. "Damon. Stefan. Elijah tells me you seek an audience. Very bold. Let's discuss the terms of our agreement like civilized men, shall we?" He pointed at the table.

"It's better to indulge him." Elijah said to the Salvatore brothers.

"I didn't, uh, come here to eat, Klaus. In fact, I didn't want to come here at all. But I was told I had to, 'cause you would hear us out." Stefan said to him awkwardly.

"Hmm. Well, we can sit and eat, or I can reach down your throats and pull out your insides. Choice is yours." Klaus was pulled a chair and let Brooklyn sit down as then he sat down as well. Rose was still asleep. Eventually the others joined to as everyone was eating, expect Stefan.

"Thank you, love. Hmm." Damon said to the waitress as she had poured him some wine.

"You lost your appetite." Klaus comment.

"Eat. I thought we agreed that we would leave the grumpy Stefan at home." Damon said to Stefan as then he was smiling sarcastically at him and he took a bite from the food.

"That's the spirit. Isn't this nice? The five of us dining together. Such a treat." Klaus looked at Damon as he asked to him. "Is this what you had in mind when you pulled the dagger out of my brother?"

"Well, I know what he felt about you, so I figured, the more… The merrier." Damon replied to him as he took a bite from the food.

"Well, Elijah and I have had our share of quarrels over the centuries, but we always make it through." Klaus said to them as he smiled at his older brother.

"Kind of like, uh, you and Rebekah, right? Where is she, by the way? Last I checked, she was still daggered because you were afraid to face her." Stefan said to Klaus as Brooklyn looked angry as he had said that. She didn't want that to be brought by the dinner.

"If you're referring to the fact that Rebekah knows I killed our mother I've already come clean to Elijah." Klaus said to him as he looked at his brother.

"Hey, Stef, remember when you killed dad? Might want to dial down the judgment till dessert." Damon said to Stefan as he took another bite form the food.

"We're here to make a deal, Damon. Doesn't mean we need to kiss his ass for seven courses." Stefan comment to Damon as then he looked at Klaus.

"I'm just saying, we have a long evening ahead of us. Pace yourself." Damon comment back to him.

"It just a peaceful dinner Stefan." Brooklyn comment as Klaus agreed with her. Stefan looked annoyed at them.

"Stefan, where is the lovely Elena tonight?" Elijah asked to Stefan as they were all still eating.

"I don't know. Ask Damon." Stefan replied as he basically pointed at Damon, then Elijah looked confused as then Klaus started with laughing.

"I'm sorry, you missed so much." Klaus said to him.

"There is trouble in paradise." Brooklyn finished the sentence.

"One more word about Elena, and, uh, this dinner is over." Stefan warned them.

"You know what, probably best just to keep Elena in the do not discuss pile." Damon said to them all.

"You're probably right." Klaus said to him.

"Yeah, I agree." Brooklyn said as she took a bite from her food.

"Yeah." Damon comment.

"It's just the allure of the Petrova Doppelganger is still so strong. What do you say, brother? Should we tell them about Tatia?" Klaus asked to his brother.

"Now why should we discuss matters long since resolved?" Elijah asked back to him.

"Well, given their shared affection for both Elena and Katerina, I think our guests might be curious to learn about the originator of the Petrova line." Klaus replied to him as Brooklyn sat a bit righter as she wanted to hear the story.

"Well, we're not going anywhere, Elijah. Please, do tell." Damon said as then he took a sip from the wine.

"When our family first settled here, there was a girl named Tatia. She was an exquisite beauty. Every boy of age desired to be her suitor. Even though she'd had a child by another man. And none loved her more than Niklaus." Elijah said to them as he looked at them all.

"Oh, I'd say there was one who loved her at least as much." Klaus comment to Elijah.

"Wait a minute, so you both loved the same girl?" Stefan asked to them.

"Our mother was a very powerful witch. She sought to endou, and so she took her. And Klaus and I would later learn that it was Tatia's blood that we consumed in the wine on the night where our mother performed the spell which turned us into vampires. Tatia wouldn't make a decision between the two of us, so for a time, Niklaus and I Grew estranged. Harsh words were traded. We even came to blows. Didn't we, brother?" Elijah told them all.

"But in the end, we recognized the sacred Bond of family." Klaus said to them.

"Family above all." Elijah said to them.

Then Klaus said to him. "Family above all." Then they clinked with their glasses as then they took a sip from the wine.

Then later, they were done with eating as then Elijah asked to the Salvatore brothers. "So why don't we move this evening along and discuss the terms of this proposal?"

"Well, it's very simple. Klaus gets his coffin back. In exchange, he, Brooklyn, their daughter, and the original extended family, leave Mystic Falls forever. Me, Stefan and Elena live happily ever after, no grudges." Damon proposed.

"Deal sounds fair, brother." Elijah comment to his younger brother.

"I don't think you understand. I can't do that because Elena's Doppelganger blood ensures that I will always have more hybrids to fight those that oppose me. I will never leave her behind. Let's say I do leave her here, under your protection. What then? How long before one of you turns her into a vampire? Or worse. How long before she dies, caught between your feuding? You see, each one of you truly believes that you're the one that can protect her. And that is simply a delusion. Gentlemen the worst thing for Elena Gilbert is… The two of you." Klaus explained it to everyone.

"I'm going to get some air." Damon said as he stood up and walked away, out of the room.

"Let me deal with this." Elijah said as he also stood up and walked out of the room.

"All this talk has made me thirsty. What do you say, Stefan?" Klaus looked at the blond girl as she came to him. "Can I interest you in a little after dinner drink?" He said to Stefan as then he bite into her neck. Then the girl dropped dead as then he said to Stefan. "Delicious. Aged to perfection."

"Well, I guess the only reason you agreed to this evening, Klaus, is to drive a wedge between me and my brother." Stefan said to Klaus as Brooklyn looked annoyed.

"Oh, no, you're doing that well enough on your own. Because of Elena, you're going to lose your brother, and you'll only have yourself to blame." Klaus said to Stefan.

"That's was all your own fault, Stefan." Brooklyn comment.

Just then Damon and Elijah walked back inside of the room. "What do you say, Klaus? It's time for you to put something on the table. We've made our offer." Damon said to Klaus. "Now you counter."

"Okay, I offer Elena's future happiness. You see, what she needs right now is to be rid of you lot, and to fall in love with a human. Maybe that nice football player, you know, the blonde one." Klaus offered to them.

"Matt Donovan? Really?" Damon asked with a dirty face as he only thought about the idea.

"Yeah, why not? They'll marry, live a long and fruitful life, and pop out a perfect family." Klaus replied to him.

"And continue the Petrova bloodline. Every few hundred years, you'll have a new Doppelganger to drain and never run out of hybrids. Right, Klaus?" Stefan asked to Klaus.

"Consider it a small return on my investment in her well-being." Klaus replied to him. "See, after you hand me back the coffin, I'll ensure her safety for the rest of her natural life. You know it's what's best for her. So… What do you say, Stefan? Hmm?" He asked to him as he held his hand out. "Do we have a deal?"

"What are you doing?" Damon asked as Stefan walked to Klaus.

Stefan grabbed the hand from Klaus. "Nice try, Klaus. But no deal." Stefan said to him as then Klaus breaks his arm and leg and put his hand into the fireplace as then it began to burn. Then Damon rushed over, but then he was held up, against the wall, by Elijah.

"What are you doing?!" Damon asked to Elijah as then he didn't answer. Klaus continued to hold Stefan's arm into the fire as then the fire was going up to his arm as then Damon shouted. "Stop!"

"Now bring me my coffin before I burn him alive." Klaus said to him.

"I'll get it." Damon said to him as then Elijah let go of him.

"Go with him, brother. You keep him honest. When you return, I will make good on my promise to you and I will hand over our family." Klaus said to Elijah as then they both left to room.

"Go ahead, kill me. I know you'll do it when he brings the coffin." Stefan said to him as he was still held by the fireplace.

Then Klaus released him form the fireplace as then he pushed him. "You really have given up, haven't you, huh? Where's the fight? Where's the ripper?!" Klaus asked to him.

"Arghh!" Stefan pushed him back as then Brooklyn grabbed him and wanted to break his neck as then Elijah and Damon walked into the room. They all looked at him as then Brooklyn let go of Stefan.

"Elijah…." Klaus said shocked to see them back quickly. "Why haven't you left?"

"Well, where are your manners, brother? You forgot dessert." Elijah said to him as then one the waitresses came into the room, with her she had a plate with a cloth on it. Elijah grabbed the cloth and it revealed the daggers on the plate.

"What have you done?" Klaus asked shocked to his brother.

"What have you done? See, I've learned not to trust your vulgar promises, Klaus. We're doing this on my terms now." Elijah said to him as then another brother walked into the room.

"Kol." Klaus said shocked.

"Long time, brother." Kol said smirking to him.

Then Klaus started to back away as then again another brother came into the room. Brooklyn stood there shocked at the situation. Then the Finn grabbed a dagger as then Klaus begged at him. "Finn, don't!" Fin didn't listen as then he stabbed Klaus's his hand. Then let the dagger out of Klaus and he went away from him as then he sees his sister. "Rebekah!"

"This is for our mother." Rebekah said as she stabbed him in the stomach. Then she pushed him and he fell into the arms from Kol and he restrained him.

"You're free to go. This is family business." Elijah said to the Salvatore brothers as then they leave the room. Brooklyn wanted also to leave, but then Elijah same in front of her. "You are also family, Brooklyn." Brooklyn smiled at that. "Also our niece, who is sleeping upstairs." He looked at his siblings.

"Thank you, Elijah." Brooklyn said to him.

His siblings were shocked that, by the fact that they have a niece, all but Rebekah, she already knew that.

Then Kol released Klaus as they stood opposite to each other, Klaus walked to the table and he leaned against the table as Brooklyn stood by his side.

"I like what you've done with the new place, Nik." Rebekah said to him as then she grabbed a vase and throws it into a painting that hang against the wall. It well down on the closet.

"I wanted it to be for all of us. A place we could all call home… A place we could all be a family. None of us would ever have to be alone again." Klaus said as he his voice creaked a little.

"Oh, you're right. None of us will be." Elijah said as he walked to the doorway as Kol joined him.

"You're staying behind." Finn said as he joined Elijah and Kol.

"We're leaving you, Nik. Right after I kill that Doppelganger wench. And you will be alone, without your siblings. Always and forever." Rebekah said as she joined her brothers.

"If you run. I will hunt all of you down." Klaus shouted angry at them as Brooklyn hoped that

Rose sleeps through the noise.

"And then you'll become everything you hate. Our father." Elijah said calmly to him.

"I'm the hybrid! I can't be killed! I have nothing to fear from any of you!" Klaus shouted again at them.

"You will when we have that coffin." Elijah said to him.

Suddenly a door goes open and a woman walked into the room, she wore ab old, simple dress and she had long hair.

"Mother?" Rebekah asked as they were all shocked to see their mother alive as then Brooklyn already didn't trust this thing.

She walked to Klaus as then she said to him. "Look at me." He looked at her with teary eyes. "Do you know why I'm here?"

"You're here to kill me." Klaus said almost crying.

"Niklaus, you are my son. And I am here to forgive you." She said to him as then she looked at her children and then she also looked at Brooklyn. "I want us to be a family again."
