Recap:
Ester hurriedly entered the hunt, knowing there was little time left before she they found out what she did. Before he did.
"Caroline" She yelled as she saw a stilled Caroline collapsed on the floor, she quickly rushed to her side. A breathe she hadn't realized she was holding escaped her when she felt the girls faint pulse at her fingertips.
"There's still hope." She breathes with a smile as she looks at the girls face. "Maybe, one day, you can bring them redemption"
"Once Upon A Time"
Chapter Two
Footsteps echoed through the Mikaelson mansion as Niklaus sat down his glass of brandy and turned to see Elijah and a human woman standing under the archway.
"Elijah," He acknowledged. "Why haven't you left?" He questions.
"Where are your manners brother?" Elijah asks as he motions for the woman to remove the cover of the platter she was carrying. "We forgot desert."
Niklaus' eyes widen as he sees two daggers laying on it. Which could only mean he'd un-daggered his brothers and sister.
"What have you done?" He asks somewhat horrified.
What have you done
"I learned a long time ago not to trust your vulgar promises, brother." He pauses as he hears his brothers coming up behind him. "We're doing this on my terms now."
"Kol" Niklaus stutters as he saw his younger brother moving towards him.
"Long time brother" He snarls as he stands side by side Elijah. "Wonder why that is?" He questions sarcastically.
Niklaus' eyes dart to the platter, still carrying the daggers he runs towards them only to be intercepted by Finn, who in turn grabbed the dagger.
"Finn, don't" He begged as his brother stabbed him through the hand. Howls of pain echoed through the overly large house. He stumbled backwards away from his brothers, as he turned to make his escape he ran into his sister.
"Rebekah" He pleaded.
"This is for our mother." She whispered as she brought the dagger down and through his chest.
"Your free to go" Elijah spoke softly to the human he had brought with him. "This is family business" He added gravely.
.
"I like what you've done with the new place, Nik" Rebekah says as she grabs hold of an antique looking vase and throws it at the wall, shattering into pieces.
"What I did was for all of us a place we could call home. A place where we could be a family! None of us would ever have to be alone again." He tried explaining his twisted logic to his family. "Were safe now! We can be together, Always and Forever."
"Well you were right, none of us will be." Elijah smiled as his siblings moved towards him. "Unfortunately for you, dear brother, you're staying behind."
"We're leaving you Nik, right after I kill the doppelganger witch and you'll always be alone. Always & Forever." Rebekah said spitefully.
"If you run I will hunt all of you down!" Niklaus shouts, truly looking like a deranged man.
"And then you'll become everything you hate." Elijah whispered softly. "You will be just like our father."
"I'm the hybrid, I can not be killed! I have nothing to fear from any of you." He scoffs.
"You will when we have that coffin" He threatens.
.
The sound of the grand door being opened and footsteps echoing through the halls caused the siblings to turn and look at the intruder.
Gasps were heard across the room as they all looked dumbfounded at the newest arrival at their family gathering.
"Mother" Rebekah gasps disbelievingly as the woman slowly makes her way towards them.
.
"Hello, Niklaus." Her voice sounds.
"Look at me" She demands in a voice not to be reckoned with.
"Mother." The young man gasped in horror as he saw her. As she moved closer to him his terror intensified tenfold.
"Do you know why I am here, Niklaus?" her soft soothing voice questioned. "Answer me" she says after a moment of silence
"You're here to kill me." He whispered as tears silently fell down his face.
"Niklaus, you are my son, and I am here to forgive you. To bring you redemption." She answered. "I want us to be a family again."
