He did not once look back to make sure that she was following, seemingly confident in the control the ring had over her, or he was just that stupid. Either way she appreciated it as she took the time to come to terms with the ending of her way of life and the beginning of a new uncertain future. Thoughts and worries over what the future might hold raced through her mind until finally they came to the Mikaelson Manner. Elijah did not stop but instead went straight through the entry-way. She followed, unwilling to show any sign of hesitancy, and give him motivation for punishing her on her very first night of servitude to him. When they entered the courtyard she could see two figures, one at the top of the stairs, she figured this was the legendary hybrid Klaus. The other was a woman who could be none other than Hayley.

"What is this?" Klaus demanded descending the stairs.

"One of the spoils that I gathered from Francesca's." Elijah said calmly as if he was not faced with a psychopath's wrath. Keira guessed it was years of practice after living so long with one.

"You let one of them live?" Klaus did not even bother waiting for Elijah's response but charged at her with full vampiric speed, eager to vent his rage on someone.

He was surprised when she matched his speed and used his own momentum against him to throw him up against the wall. He bounced off it enraged and snarled at her, his eyes glowing golden. She snarled back at him and prepared for a new attack. It did not come from Klaus this time but instead came from Hayley, who also had some frustration of her own to vent. Keira rolled her eyes at the obvious attack and sidestepped the attack, putting her weight behind her punch it connected with Hayley as she went by. The force of the blow knocked Hayley on her back, snarling she shook her head to clear it, then she launched herself to her feet and readied to attack again. Keira backed up so that she could keep both of them in her sights, and though knowing that it would incite one of them for sure, she gave them both a mocking 'come at me' gesture. Sure enough Hayley charged her, but rather than meet the attack this time Keira dropped down and swung her leg out catching Hayley and sending her to the ground once again.

"That's 2-0." Keira said to Hayley in warning."Stand down."

Hayley did not listen, not that Keira thought she would, but snarled again and charged this time in unison with Klaus. Keira charged Klaus bringing him up in surprise at the audacity of her, however her intent was not him but rather Hayley as she was now within position and vulnerable to attack. Keira swiveled on one leg and punched Hayley with enough force this time to send her flying into the wall which knocked her unconscious.

Now there was only Klaus, snarling in anger and frustration, Keira couldn't help herself and gave her come hither gesture again, this time while smirking, as predicted Klaus did not take it well at all and charged her. Using a move that The Black Widow herself uses in the movies, which Keira is certain that they somehow had gotten from her, she soon had her legs wrapped around Klaus' neck, and was sitting directly on his shoulders. Which now that she was in this position she used her full hybrid strength and snapped his neck. As Klaus went down Keira launched herself from his body and rolled to a standing position, ready for any more fighting. Making sure that all of her opponents were truly down, and that Elijah had no intention on fighting on his family's behalf, she allowed herself to relax her position.

Elijah watched all this incredulous. After Klaus had become a hybrid Elijah had been certain that no one would be able to stand up to him in a hand to hand fight. It made him just a little curious about the story of this unusual woman, and he wasn't too proud to admit to himself that he was enough of a sibling to enjoy watching his little brother get a beatdown after centuries of being ruled by that same little brother.

"Come." He said, eager to get her out of there before Klaus and Hayley woke up and begin round two. She followed, never truly taking her senses off of her opponents until they reached a room where Elijah stopped.

"This will be your room for as long as you stay with us, you will remain here until I summon you." He waited for her nod before moving aside so she could move in. "See you tomorrow." He said, then closed the door.

It was certainly an upgrade from her last room, and it even had a balcony to the street. Either Elijah knew how these things worked, or he was a truly trusting sort. She knew which she would bet her money on. She knew though a cage was still a cage no matter how comfortable it was, but there was no sense in whining about it so she went about stowing the rest of her things and going to sleep. After all tomorrow would be another day and she had best be rested up for what it would bring.

Elijah sighed as he looked down at Klaus, sprawled out on the floor, still unconscious. Klaus certainly would not wake up happy, and an angry Klaus was never a good person to be around. Stil Elijah would enjoy remembering the look of surprise on his face for centuries. Elijah knew his brother would be all right so he went to Hayley to check on her.

Klaus finally stirred back to life, gaining his feet rather quickly, and demanded.

"Where is the little she-devil now?"

"I have given her a room close to mine." Elijah said from where he was crouched over Hayley, moving her into a more comfortable position.

"She needs to die." Klaus apparently was still mad that he had been beaten by her, he never did take losing very well.

Elijah stood so that he could look his brother fully in the eyes. "Brother she stays, think of the advantage we will have with her on our side."

"you saw the way she fought, what makes you so sure she will fight for us?"

"Oh, believe me I have ensured it." Elijah did not say how, unwilling to let Klaus know of the strange ring on his finger, and unsure himself if he truly could ensure her willingness to fight for them, but he held Klaus' gaze confidently until he nodded in agreement.

"Just make sure that she does indeed fight for us, brother." Klaus said before leaving the courtyard looking for something, or someone, to vent his frustration on.

By this time Hayley had also come to so Elijah made sure she was alright, and she insisted that she was. Neither of them seemed sure of what to do. She was frustrated at his having witnessed her defeat, and he was not sure if she would accept his comfort. They finally decided to not mention it and went to retire for the night still both surprised that Klaus and Hayley had been defeated.
