It had been almost a week since the night Damon tried to kill Klaus and used Katherine as an unwated pawn. Trixie was extremely pissed off the next morning when Klaus's phone rang and it was Stefan, leaving her to wonder what was going on with them, since her phone went off too. Katherine had been trying to call her since the night had ended but being fast asleep with Klaus and Talon Trixie didnt hear it. She answered the phone that morning and when Katherine was crying she knew it was serious. SHe only had a few seconds to hear that Elijah was missing before Klaus threw his phone and made it shatter against the wall. He then informed Trixie that Stefan had taken his coffins and wasnt giving them back because he considered it revenge. Trixie was fuming as well and while she promises Katherine she would find Elijah she was already thinking about who to go to first. Texting Caroline Trixie learned that Stefan hadn't went home, she then asked her to talk to Elena who informed Caroline that he hadn't gone there either. Texting Damon she found that he didnt know anything and she could tell he was telling the truth but as Talon set out to find something on his own he only came back empty handed. Trixie couldnt believe that after everything they had went through she had come so far only to have everything she wanted ripped away from her.
Klaus had been calling Rebekah non-stop the first day after the homecoming dance and as she never answered he wondered what had happened to her as well. Calling Elijah he found out soon that he had been missing as well and knowing his siblings were well known for not contacting him when they were running for their lives but he wanted to inform them that their father was finally gone for real. Trixie was worried as well as pissed once he told her Stefan had taken the other coffins, Kol being the most important to her, but either way she was wanting to find him now as much as he was. For days they tried to keep the hybrids against the grind and searching for the others as well as Stefan but as Klaus woke up once again to a bright sunny morning he wondered if he would ever see his family again.
"Fear is for the weak hearted." Klaus glanced to Talon at his side as Trixie mumbled in her sleep and rolled against Klaus side. He smiled but it soon faded as she once again looked like she was having a nightmare. The past two nights she had woken up screaming about Kol dying and as Klaus tried to get her to explain her dream she always seemed to forget what she was talking about.
"Does she talk like this all night?" Talon glanced to Klaus and shook his head in response.
"Only in the early mornings. This morning a bit more though. She mumbles about coffins?" Klaus glanced to Talon and frowned as he tried to think of why she would be dreaming of them.
"STOP!" Trixie bolted upright and as she started to grab at her throat she looked around and frowned when she noticed Talon and Klaus staring at her as if she had gone crazy.
"What happened?" Klaus tried to quickly get her to talk and as she turned to him her gaze frosted over as if she was going blind.
"Dont do it, leave them please! Stefan just leave!" She grabbed her head and as she shook it she mumbled something about witches and then started to cry. Klaus held her close as he tried to calm her down by patting her back and rubbing his hand in circles. Talon eyed her as she slowly stopped crying and started to breathe right. She smiled as she blinked and looked to the cat and hybrid.
"Trixie?"
"Morning. Wow, what are you two doing up early?" She grinned as she petted Talons head and kissed Klaus cheek before getting out of bed and throwing on some yoga pants. Klaus eyed her as she walked around the room, gathering clothes as if nothing had just happened, and when she turned to them she frowned and put her hands on her hips.
"What?"
"You just going to sit there all day? We got to clean the house and then go and try yet again to find our family." She sighed as she went and pulled a shirt off the floor near Klaus's side of the bed. He gripped her wrist lightly and as she smiled to him she noticed he was frowning.
"Trixie love, do you remember your dream?"
"What dream?" Talon and Klaus glanced to each other before Klaus let her go as she shook her head confused. She smiled to them though when she walked down the stairs and they heard her barking orders to the hybrids that were still working on the house. She was instructing them to get out of the kitchen for the time being and as she asked for one to run to town to grab eggs for her Talon smirked.
"Sounds like shes cooking breakfast. Purrfect."
"Why doesnt she ever remember?"
"If it is witches trying to hide the coffins, they will hid it from her as well. I suggest, even though Im against it, a dream walk would be in order?" Klaus stared at the cat as he twisted his tail and jumped from the bed. Klaus wondered if he was right and if he should invade her dreams to see what was going on but he had promised her a long time ago that if she worked with him everything about her world would remain private from him. But now, even she was being kept from it. It couldnt hurt could it? He shook his head as Trixie called for him with a bit of anger in her voice and as he threw on a pair of sweats over his boxers he rushed downstairs to meet with her and one of his hybrids.
"Tony, to what do I owe the pleasure?"
"I did as you asked boss. Elena is frightened and I got into the house."
"Let me guess, pizza boy?" Tony smiled to Trixie as she rolled her eyes and glanced to Klaus.
"Its nothing love. Just wondering if we can find any hidden secrets."
"Ill tell you a secret. Elena probably knows more than anyone and isnt going to spill them to just anyone. I need to talk to Caroline today anyways, but if she hadn't even told her she wont just blurt it out around a pizza boy." She rolled her eyes as she turned and walked back to the kitchen and left Klaus to stare at Tony who was shrugging at his confusion to Trixie's outburst.
"Go, do what I asked earlier as well. Little Gilbert needs to have a run in so to speak to have his sisters lips moving." Tony nodded and as he vanished Klaus smiled to himself when he smelled the scent of waffles baking in the kitchen. He had gotten used to Trixie cooking lately and as he walked to where she was he knew sooner or later he was going to have to tell her what he was doing.
Klaus was sitting in the parlor when the phone rang and as he went to get up to get it he heard Trixie talking. Smiling to himself, thinking it was something simple, he sat back down to finish reading his newspaper before he heard her scream his name. He looked up to the entrance way of the parlor and frowned when he noticed Trixie standing there with the pone near her ear and a glare across her face.
"When were you going to tell me that you sent Tony after the Gilberts!"
"Love..."
"Dont fucking love me! You kept me out of the plan! And what worse? I hear it from Elena, who by the way is wanting to bargain for her brothers life." Trixie glared as Klaus glanced to the phone and heard Elena talking to someone else at their house as she waited for one of them to return.
"What did she think she could possibly bargain us with?"
"Rebekah." Klaus glared at Trixie and was suddenly to his feet grabbing the phone from Trixie's hand and growling into it making Elena gasp.
"Where is she?"
"Uh-huh! You have to promise me that you wont try to hurt anyone else if I give her back to you."
"I told you and your little friends, until I get my coffins back everyone is on my hit list."
"We dont know where Stefan is!"
"Fine, Rebekah in exchange for Jeremy's life. Sound good?"
"If that's all Im going to get then fine." Elena sighed and as she told Klaus where to go to find her Trixie sighed and rolled her eyes. Klaus called for two of his hybrids and instructed them to go find his sister as he went to take care of business.
"I am hoping Im involved in this plan?"
"You are the main person needed for it love." Trixie smiled as Talon suddenly appeared and seemed out of breath.
"My witch, that vampire you hate. Hes hot on our trail. He understands we are trying to find the coffins and unfortunately he knows where they are." Trixie eyed Talon before picking him up and petting him to clam him down.
"Did he chase you?"
"He attacked me when he found me eavesdropping. Him and the witch are in on it together. They know where his brother is." Trixie eyed Klaus as he smiled and nodded to her.
"You are now even more needed than I thought." She grinned as Klaus started to tell her what he thought needed to happen and as she agreed to the plan they set out to find their first piece to the game...Caroline.
Trixie was walking into the Grill and as she scanned the area Klaus texted her. She frowned as she notice that he mentioned that Jeremy had killed Tony, Rebekah was back at the house since Elena let the hybrids take her, and he was on the look out for the hiding place Bonnie and Stefan were keeping themselves. Trixie sighed as she looked towards Caroline and then smiled. She needed the blondes help and as she approached she noticed she wasnt alone. Tyler was there and as she overheard their conversation she sat down at the table behind them where she couldnt be seen and listened in.
"So, he just asked you to get him off vervain and you did! Why didnt you say no?"
"He still has a hold over me Care. I can't just say no to him. I have to do what he says, to an extent I think."
"You think!"
"Yeah, I mean if he asked me to kill someone I know I wouldnt but if he asked me to just like take his bracelet off then yeah, I likely would."
"Oh god, we cant have the others find out. If they know you are still doing some of his deeds for him, they wont be so nice to you." Trixie smiled as she had just found her hook.
"Hello, that is an interesting conversation I just heard." Tyler and Caroline both stared at Trixie with a mixture of shock and anger as she sat next to Caroline and smiled.
"What do you want Trixie?"
"Oh Care, dont be so mean. I just wanted to talk to my friends. You are my friends right? And friends do things for each other right?"
"What will it take to get you to keep your mouth shut?" Trixie eyed Tyler and as she smirked Caroline knew it wasnt going to end well.
"Huh, let me see. You know whats going on with Elena I take it and you have a foothold on finding Stefan."
"We dont know where he is Trixie, we told you."
"See thats the thing. I believe you do. You want Nik to stop using you right? I might be able to have a hand in that a bit Tyler, but I need something in return." Tyler and Caroline sighed as they looked at each other and she nodded. Tyler rolled his eyes as he glanced to Trixie and nodded to her.
"Fine, you get Klaus off my back and I will tell you where Elijah is." Trixie growled a bit at the mention of her lost family member but as she smiled she figured out their game and turned the tables on them.
"Oh that wont work, I know he is with the coffins and I know that Rebekah has been given back in return for Jeremy's safety. If Nik will leave him alone for one sibling, imagine what he would do for all of them?" Caroline this time gasped as she glanced to Tyler and saw that he had a disappointed look on his face but as Caroline smiled she took her phone out.
"Promise me that Tyler will be freed and I will let you see all the texts Elena has sent me."
"Is there the mention of where the coffins are?"
"Theres everything." Trixie smiled as she noticed Caroline scrolling through her texts with the back of the phone facing her. She glanced to Tyler and saw that he was watching her as well and as Caroline stopped on a certain text she smiled and nodded.
"Ok then." Trixie took out her phone and smiled as she called Klaus.
"Hello love, whats going on?"
"Yeah Nik, I am with Caroline and she has some information we need but in return for it she wants Tyler to be set free from your sire bond. Could you do that for me baby?" Klaus chuckled as he waited for a second and then finally responded.
"Well, yeah I could. But do they know where my coffins are and what they are planning on doing?" Trixie eyed Caroline as she scrolled through her texts again and nodded.
"She says yes." Trixie smiled as she glanced over Carolines head and as Klaus chuckled Caroline and Tyler looked hopeful.
"Well, if she does know than it would be an honor to make the agreement."
"Good, if you just promise to leave Tyler alone and set him free, I will give Trixie everything she needs to know."
"Oh I said it would be an honor but I never said I would." Caroline and Tyler looked horrified for a moment before Trixie shrugged and went to get up.
"Sorry guys, I tried." She waved bye to them and went to leave the Grill, leaving a very confused Tyler and Caroline behind, but taking with her her own little secret weapon.
"Did you get the information love?"
"Talon?"
"In the texts, she mentions a witch house and something about the human and the witch going to find the mother. apparently there needs to be two witches to open a fourth coffin. Caroline herself has been compelled not to tell anyone but she is free to talk about it with Elena. They figured youd try to do something like this."
"its amazing, offer her boy toy a little freedom and shes willing to find a loophole to the compulsion. We got what we need, Im coming home."
"Im sending a hybrid to the witch house to confirm the location, hurry back." Trixie smiled and as she hung up she nodded to Talon who walked beside her, both of them not even noticing the vampire who was listing to their conversation and now cursing them and their abilities to find things out. His dark hair waved as he rushed to the witches house to try and fix matters in his own way.
