Klaus had just gotten back home with his brother Elijah and was about to get the dagger out of its hiding spot when he heard the doorbell ring several times.

"I'm Rachel Salvatore and I need to speak with Klaus, it's urgent."

Klaus was wondering what the young girl was doing here and told his witch to let her in.

"Rachel, I'm surprised to see you here. What is so urgent? Finn giving you any trouble already?" Klaus asked her joyfully. He didn't know why he was in such a good mood in her presence, he simply couldn't help it.

"Daddy was accidentally bitten by a werewolf last night and I know you know how to cure it. Please, I can't loose him. I'll do anything. Please can you tell me how to find the cure?" Rachel begged him.

"Now, now Rachel, no need to beg. I happen to have the cure on me at all times." Klaus said as he grabbed an empty bottle of beer, bit his wrist and bled in it.

"Your blood is the cure." She said in realisation.

"Yes, it is. Here you go." He said, giving her the bottle.

"What do you want in exchange?" She asked him surprised.

Elijah, too, looked shocked.

"Pretty Rachel, you don't owe me anything. You did, after all, try to prevent my brother from trying to kill me." Klaus said, getting a gasp from Elijah.

"You now? What do you mean by tried? Elijah gave me his word…" She didn't understand.

"Elijah broke his word and tried to kill me… Now brother I gave you my word that I would reunite you with the rest of our family. Here you go." Klaus said as he trusted the silver dagger and ash in his chest.

After Elijah dropped to the ground, Klaus turned toward Rachel:

"I'm sorry you had to witness this. I hope it didn't shock you too much."

"No, not really… He did break his word…faire is fair." Rachel shrugged her shoulder.

"You should go and give this to your father now. He doesn't need to be in any unnecessary pain." Klaus told her gently.

"Thanks again Klaus." She said before she quickly kissed him on the cheek and ran out of the house and to her car.

.

While Rachel was giving the cure to her father and telling him, Sage and Finn everything she had seen at Klaus' house, the hybrid was meeting with Stefan.

"What are you doing here? Isn't it enough that you killed my girlfriend?" Stefan asked him as he got out of the Gilbert house, hoping that Klaus would never find out that Elena had survived thanks to Elijah's old potion.

"I came here for a reason Stefan. We used to be good friends in the 20's. I'm here to give you back the memories I took from you back then and to ask you to come with me this summer while I look for werewolves to change." Klaus said.

Klaus compelled Stefan to remember and the young vampire was shocked to see everything. He didn't want to go but if he did follow the hybrid out of town he could make sure that he stayed away from Mystic Fall's and never found out that Elena was alive. Also he was intrigued by the memories that were coming back to him and he wanted to find out if he could manage to befriend the man.

"Okay… I'll come with you." Stefan eventually replied.

"Wonderful. I'll give you a few hours to pack and I'll pick you up at the Boarding house." Klaus said before he turned around.

.

Elena had woken up with Stefan by her side and after she was done dressing up, she found a note from him, telling her that in order to protect her from Klaus, he had gone with him, that he would try to contact her and that she shouldn't wait for him.

Of course she immediately ran out of her house and drove to the Boarding house, only to find that he was already gone.

"Why are you still here then? You should go after them and get him back!" Elena yelled at Damon.

"My brother went with Klaus willingly Elena. He didn't do it only to protect you but also because they knew each other in the 20's and he wanted to reconnect. Let it go." Damon replied before he kicked her out of his house and watched as she got back into her car and drove off.

.

In the Lockwood house, Mason was telling goodbye to his family. He needed to go back to the life he had in Florida and even if he didn't want to leave Tyler, he knew his nephew wouldn't be alone in his curse. He had now a close circle of friends who would help him through everything.

.

The day after Klaus left town with Stefan, his male witch came knocking on the Salvatore's door and handed Rachel an old water bottle filled with blood. With it came a note from the hybrid himself:

"A little something in case there is any more incident involving werewolf venom.

In hope to see you again some time pretty Rachel.

Take care of yourself,

Klaus"

If Rachel was shocked, Sage and Finn were even more surprised by this. They wondered why Klaus was so different with Rachel but shrugged the thought off because they were planning to get out of town for a small time.

So, what's the verdict?
