"Listen, I need to get out of here, okay?" Damon repeated, trying to convince the guard to let him escape, "they're trapping me here for some abra cadabra!"

"Klaus does what is best for all of us, I'm sorry but I won't be any help to you," the guard replied coldly, making it apparent that he was sired to Klaus.

Damon sighed. He had no track of time, all he had been doing was trying to escape; which had failed so far. He flopped down on the bed, spreading his legs out.

"Giving up already? I hadn't expected you to be the quitter, Damon," a rich British voice echoed in the room, making Damon sit straight up.

"Klaus," Damon said as Klaus entered the room, acknowledging his presence, "why am I here?"

"Well, I heard about your mother, you see," Klaus paced around the room, admiring an oil painting, "and you are going to help us bring her back."

"Why do you need her back?" Damon narrowed his eyes, "and how can she come back?"

"Patience, Damon," Klaus smiled, "you'll figure it out when the time comes."

"Stop playing him, brother," a female's voice interrupted, more specifically, Rebekah's, "you do know he isn't the brightest."

"Ugh, just what I needed for this jolly morning," Damon rolled his eyes and glanced at Rebekah.

"Have you talked to Ericka?" Rebekah asked to Klaus.

"Ericka who?" Damon interrupted, suddenly catching interest.

"I have, she shall be here soon," Klaus ignored Damon and continued, "in fact, I heard your friends are planning to take a vacation here, too, Damon," he added as he heard footsteps at the entrance of the mansion.

"Are you sure this is a good idea?" Caroline asked nervously as they pulled up outside the Originals' mansion.

"We'll be fine," Stefan assured her, opening the car door for her.

Together, the five of them entered the mansion, secrectly hoping Elijah was present.

From a distance, Stefan could hear Klaus and Damon's faint voices, making him feel better knowing his brother was still in one piece.

They walked over to the hall, where they were greeted by Elijah, "to what do I owe this pleasure?" he looked at Elena.

"Hello, Elijah," she smiled, suddenly feeling calmer. "I suppose you already know why we're here."

"That, I do," he said, sporting a calm smile, "have a seat, please," he gestured for the group to sit.

"We have guests, Rebekah," Klaus called out as he entered the hall. "I assume you all are here to receive your friend?"

"Why do you have him, Klaus?" Stefan asked, getting straight to the point.

"Yeah, I mean, if you needed him you could've just asked, rude much?" Kai interrupted, making his presence noticeable.

Elena nudged him in the torso, "don't mind him."

"Who is your friend?" Elijah popped in a question, to no one in particular.

"I'm Kai—" Kai began to introduce himself, "the leader of the Gemini coven," he said proudly.

"Interesting," Klaus walked over and sat on the sofa across the group.

"Well, where's Damon?" Bonnie said, changing the topic back to the main reason they were there for.

Rebekah walked down the stairs, and stood near Klaus, "he's safe with us, you may leave now."

"We need him back," Stefan spoke up.

"Well, that won't be convenient for either of us, you see," Klaus replied, looking straight at Stefan for some reason.

"Why do you have him?" Bonnie raised a question.

"We need him," Klaus paused for the right effect, glancing at Stefan, "to replace your mother in the prison world."
