Whatever It Takes | Klaus Mikaelson (Discontinued)

"Rebekah and Kol just landed. I just assured them we're mere moments from returning our brother to life. Don't make me a liar." Klaus said.

"I can't resurrect Elijah until I'm certain his mind is whole." Freya told him.

"Well, you saved Finn with that very trinket. What's the problem?"

"When that pendant was shattered, Elijah's mind shattered with it. He's most likely retreated to the innermost of his consciousness."

"How do we find that?" I asked.

"I don't know. It could be anywhere in over a thousand years of memories, but if I try fixing the pendant before finding him and healing his mind; he'll be permanently fractured, like casting a broken bone before it's been properly set."

"Spare me the medical analogies and fix him."

"I need to go inside and find him. Once I'm sure his mind is stable, then I can fix the pendant."

"Well, then stop talking and get in there."

"Klaus? Take a walk, get some air. Let her work. Please." I told him.

He rolled his eyes, going to leave the room.

"All right! Chit chat's over. Can we slaughter someone now?" Kol happily asked as he and Rebekah entered.

"Sounds like fun. I could do with a bit of murder and mayhem." Rebekah added..

"Perhaps you should have stayed where you were." Klaus said.

Kol rolled his eyes, groaning as he plopped on the couch.

"Well, first things first. We need to destroy the weapons that give our enemy their advantage. Now, one scratch from the rosebush is lethal to us. Freya has tracked down the eight that remain, including the main plant. Here, in the Ninth Ward." Klaus informed.

"Fine, so we burn them all and then we murder that wretched bitch." Rebekah shrugged.

"Lethal thorns, resurrected witches... what could possibly go wrong?" Kol smirked.

"You actually think you can pull this off? I mean, Freya, there are a thousand years of memories in there. How will you know which is the right one?"

"I don't know. I've never actually tried this before. He'll recognize me. If I can find the core of his being or whatever memory he's clinging to, I'll pull him out."

"This is gonna sound crazy but I'm gonna ask anyway." Freya spoke, walking up to me.

"What's wrong?"

"I thought I found Elijah, but he just vanished right in front of me. That's not our only problem. I can't search Elijah's mind and sustain a spell at the same time."

"So what do you want with me?"

"What if I sent you in? It would require more power but I can stay here and anchor the spell. I know you can get him back."
