Recap: Esther is back and wants to kill of her children as of now, only Elena, Stefan and Damon know of her plan.
Adelina is walking through Klaus' mansion as hybrids are moving in and out cleaning things up. "So you really did it, you broke your curse." Adelina said, walking into the living room where Klaus was drawing. Klaus looked up at her, smiling slightly, "Did you enjoy yourself at the ball?"
"Yes in fact it did, aside from the fact that everyone questioned my return, it was rather enjoyable. Is your mother really back for the family reunion?"
"That is what she claims," A voice said from behind them, Adelina turned around to see Elijah standing in the doorway. "Why have you come, Adelina?" Elijah asked,
"Always skeptical aren't we? I can't say hello to my favorite family?"
"Well you've come at the most opportune moment, I can't help but feel that's for a reason." Elijah was always questioning Adelina's motives, "I'm here for Kol, nothing more." Adelina said, wanting Elijah's trust. He nodded. Kol came downstairs, walking past Elijah grabbing Adelina's hand, and twirling her around before landing them both on the couch. Elijah left, going upstairs.
Just then Rebekah came through the door, still in her green dress. "Well, well, well, there's our girl." Kol said, getting up and blocking Rebekah's way. "Get out of my way," She said, but Kol kept blocking her. "Out all night, what a scandal! I trust you did better than that commoner, what was his name? Matt?"
"Say another word and the next thing to come out of it will be your teeth." She threatened, Kol just kept smiling as she pushed past him. "Don't start Nik," She said at Klaus who was trying to hide his smile, "I didn't say anything."
"I'm bored," Kol said falling back on the couch, his head in Adelina's lap, "Now that sister is a strumpet,"
"She deserves to go out and have fun," Adelina finished, Rebekah turned and looked at her, "Good to see you, Adelina, still chasing my brother it seems." Adelina smiled at her,
"I've always still got time for you Bekah," She said.
"I need entertainment," Kol whined,
"What are you waiting for, go on have at it, you've got your girlfriend." Klaus said, going back to his drawings.
"But it's no fun to go alone," Kol said sitting up, completely ignoring Adelina. "Join me Nik, it's the least you could do for sticking a dagger in my heart." Kol said, playing the vitctim, Adelina rolled her eyes.
"Okay, why not, I didn't have nearly enough to drink last night, what with you trying to murder Rebekah's date." Klaus said walking past Rebekah, Kol leaned over and kissed Adelina briefly before following his brother. "Meet us there, darling?" Kol said to Adelina, who nodded.
"Yes, please go, this out has enough men rolling around in it."
"Just like you Bekah," Kol added, Adelina tried to hide her smile, as Rebekah threw her shoe at him. "Good riddance both of you!" She turned back to Adelina who held her hands up in surrender.
"Rebekah," Elijah called coming downstairs with what was left of Esther's sage.
"Not you too, Elijah," Rebekah sighed,
"I'm worried about mother, have you not noticed her strange behavior?" He asked, walking over to her,
"She's been dead for 1000 years, what's strange for her?" Rebekah said, Adelina stood up, seeing what was in Elijah's hand, "Is that sage?"
"Burned sage, she's was doing a privacy spell." Elijah said, Rebekah took the sage from his hand, "You know she fancies such things," She defended. "Why don't you ask Finn, he's been doting on her."
"I don't trust Finn." Elijah said quickly. "He hates what we are, he always has."
"That's not true," Rebekah sighed, "And as for mother, she returned for one reason, to make our family whole. She loves us, what trouble are you looking to find?" Rebekah asked, Elijah looked at Rebekah, but then turned to Adelina. "Well since you're here, I might as well fill you in on what you've missed. And I need you to accompany me on an errand." Elijah held his arm out to her, "Lead the way, my lord." Adelina smiled.
Adelina and Elijah pulled up to Elena's house. "Is it true what Klaus said, she looked just like Katharine?" Adelina asked as they walked up to the front door. Elijah only smiled as Elena came to the door. "Elijah," She said,
"Elena, may I introduce Adelina, an old friend of mine." Adelina looked at Elena in shock, "Wow, that is scary, forgive me." She said,
"I was hoping you'd accompany me, I would like to show you something." As Elena and Elijah got in his car.
Soon after Elijah came back alone, "Where's Elena?" Adelina asked, "Remember the tunnels that ran under the village?" He said simply, "Nice, so what now?"
"I have further business to address, Rebekah is keeping Elena occupied. I have the Salvatore brothers to deal with." He said as they both left, Adelina going to the Grill to see Kol and Klaus. When she got there, they were through half the bar's liquor supply. "Started without me?" Adelina said, taking Kol's shot and downing it. "Where were you?" He asked,
"Helping Elijah run some errands," Kol narrowed his eyes at her. "And he was filling me in on what I've missed, and how you've failed to mention you breaking your little hybrid curse." Adelina said to Klaus who just smiled and toasted his glass toward her. Just then, Adelina saw a the blonde girl, Caroline walk into the bar. "I remember her from last night," Kol said to Klaus, "She looks like a tasty little thing." Adelina rolled her eyes, moving away from Kol and ordering another drink. "Say another word and I'll tear out your liver." Klaus threatened as Caroline came over.
"Caroline," Klaus called,
"Oh, its you." She said,
"Join us for a drink?" Klaus offered, Caroline eyed them all over, Adelina did the same. "Mm, I'd rather die of thirst but thanks." She smiled then walked away, Klaus smiled, "Isn't she stunning?" He said,
"She sure looks good walking away from you," Adelina said, taking another shot, "I'll take that as a challenge," Klaus said finishing his drink and followed Caroline.
"I see Klaus has a new fling," Adelina said, sitting at the bar. "He's trifling himself with human emotions," Kol said, Adelina looked at him, "What and you're not?" She snapped at him, sipping a cocktail. Kol just dropped the subject, looking over at the pool table to see Meredith, he walked over to her, "A woman of your caliber ought to be with more suitable company." Adelina overhead, she didn't go over with him, but listened to the conversation. "What's your name, love?" Kol asked Meredith, "None of your business," She snapped,
"Let's try that again, I'll start, I'm Kol."
"Why don't you get lost, Kol."
"Oh, why would I do that? I like pretty little things with sharp tongues." He went over and tried to touch her, but Alaric beat him to hit, shoving a dagger in him. Adelina ran into the alley as they pulled Kol away, Klaus beat her too it, pulling the dagger out and shoving Alaric and Stefan away. "I should have killed you months ago," Klaus said to Damon,
"Do it, it's not going to stop Esther from killing you."
"What did you say about my mother?" Klaus threatened, moving closer to Damon.
"You didn't know I was friends with your mommy? We have a lot in common, she hates you almost as much as I do." Damon said, Klaus was about to attack him, "Klaus!" Adelina yelled, "Leave him." Elijah said, appearing at the top of the stairs. "We still need him, Niklaus." Elijah said,
"What did mother do? What did she do Elijah?" Klaus demanded, Elijah pulled out his phone, walking over to Damon, "You tell me where the witches are or I'll have my sister kill Elena right now." Elijah said, Damon looked up at the clock, "You said we had till after 9,"
"Well I'm sure Rebekah would love to start her work early." Elijah threatened. "Adelina, darling, why don't you go and see how Rebekah is doing." Klaus offered, Adelina reluctantly left Kol's side to find Elena.
"Looks like you've started without me," Adelina said, meeting Rebekah in the caves with Elena trapped. "We're done," Adelina said, "Seems your boys took care of the problem." She said to Elena.
"What do you mean?" Elena asked,
"Damon turned your witch friend's mother into a vampire." Adelina said,
"Well isn't that nice," Rebekah said,
"What?" Elena gasped,
"They needed to severe the witch line and you can't be a witch and a vampire. In any case, you're free to go." Adelina said as her and Rebekah left.
As they came back to the mansion, Elijah was staring out the window, Kol was gone, and Finn and Esther had disappeared when Abby died. "Where the bloody hell is everyone?" Rebekah asked,
"It's over Rebekah," Elijah said, his voice sad,
"Where's mother?" She asked,
"We have no mother, only Esther, and Esther was right." Elijah said,
"What do you mean?"
"I talk of virtue and when it suits my needs I kill and torment. Even today, I terrorized an innocent." He explained,
"Elena isn't, she's hardly innocent." Rebekah said,
"And I used your hatred of her to get what I wanted." Elijah finished. "Wielded you like I would a sword, my sister."
"You did it to protect us Elijah, and rightly so, we deserve to live we are better than they are!" Rebekah defended,
"Are we? Mother made us vampires, she didn't make us monsters, we did that to ourselves." Elijah left the room.
Adelina walked into Klaus' drawing room, "I thought you'd have gone by now, Elijah's leaving, Kol's fled; don't you usually follow my brother?" Klaus asked, burning his pictures of Caroline.
"After spending 1000 years with you, I can tell when I'm not wanted." Adelina said, looking through his pictures. "Kol would rather not trouble himself with "human emotions"" She explained, Klaus smiled, "He'll come around, and I believe you'll be more useful here then chasing down my borther." Klaus said encouraging her.
"Why don't you tell Nik about our little discovery Rebekah?" Adelina said, as Rebekah came in with her phone. "Come to brag about your incredible skills as a torturer?" Klaus said, taking her phone. "Look at the markings behind Elena."
"The natives told the story of our family history, look at the images on the far wall."
"What is it?"
"A native worshiping at the old white oak tree."
"We burned that tree to the ground." Klaus explained,
"Look at the markings that precede it, that's a native calendar." Rebekah revealed,
"This can't be right."
"A white oak tree, 300 years after we fled back to the old world." Adelina said,
"There must have been a sapling, a new tree to replace the old. That tree could kill us, it's not over."
A/N: Hope you guys liked it, as you can see Kol treats Adelina like crap, so as you can see she's going to hang around Mystic Falls for a bit with Klaus. People have been asking already for her backstory, and that will be coming up soon, so review and tell me what you think, questions/comments/concerns or anything of that nature.
