ZAKIYAH REED WAS WATCHING KATHERINE PIN STEFAN SALVATORE AGAINST THE WALL MOTIONING FOR HIM TO BE QUIET. The English vampire did her best to contain her awe at the sight of the youngest Salvatore who was unaware of the memories they once created in Chicago.

She tore her eyes away from the curious brunet sparing her confused and slightly interested looks from Katherine's hold. The Petrova doppelgänger was the first to speak at the arrival of Klaus. . . and Elijah.

"Klaus, you're back. Look who decided to come for a visit." Klaus turned to Katherine and beamed at the brooding vampire. "You just keep popping up, don't you?"

Zakiyah ignored the two's banter and rushed into the arms of Elijah Mikaelson. She tackled him in a bear hug that had him stumbling back. He chuckled, arms wrapping around his best friend.

"It has been quiet some time since I have last seen you, has it not been, Zakiyah?" Slowly, Zakiyah pulled back from Elijah to look him in the eyes. She smiled at him, the latter returning it. "I've missed you, 'Lijah."

"As I have of you as well," he pressed a small kiss on the crown of her head. She giggled at the contact as they broke apart. Elijah looked at Stefan, clearing his throat.

"You understand how important family is, or you wouldn't be here. My brother gave me his word that he would reunite me with my own."

Surprised, Zakiyah shifted her attention to the blond. "You did?" Zakiyah quizzed, yet the look in the Hybrid's eyes told her otherwise.

"And so I shall." Pushing Zakiyah aside and into Katherine who let Stefan go to catch her, Klaus stabbed the dagger through Elijah's heart. Zakiyah's eyes widened, lips parting to release a horrified scream.

"ELIJAH!"

Elijah stared into the eyes of his deceitful brother, his filling with betrayal. At her scream, Elijah slowly glanced over his brother's shoulder to see Zakiyah collapse to her knees in the arms of Katerina.

He felt his heart break at the sight of his little sister breaking down. He knew she felt useless as Niklaus wouldn't dare let her interfere regardless if she was considered their blood.

Using the last bit of his strength, he sent her a weak smile just as his eyes fluttered shut and his body became gray and veiny. Klaus let his brother fall to the floor, lifeless. With his new profound speed, the Original rushed towards Stefan, pushing him roughly against the wall.

"Shh, my love it'll be okay," Katherine whispered. The two were on their knees, the English woman leaning against her lover for support. She hadn't shed a single tear, yet her broken cry was enough to express her agony.
