four - "as i lay dying"

[Salvatore's house] 

Damon came into the house disappointed mainly in himself. He had went to apologize to Elena but she had refused. He was getting paler every minute. He could feel the damage due to the venom of the original. He took a bottle of scotch and poured himself a drink. He walks over to the window and opens the curtains, drinks some scotch and then takes off his ring. He opens his arms and his skin burns but Stefan arrives and pushes him against the wall away from the sunlight. Damon tries to throw his brother but didn't have the strength, "Get off of me."

"You're not doing this." Stefan snarled in his face. 

"Just did. You know what happened to Rose, Stefan. Also that original mutt bit me." Damon tried to reason with him showing his neck.

"I don't care. You're not dying today." Stefan looks at his neck worried. He uses his super speed and throws him in the cellar and closes the door.

"What's the plan, Superman?" Damon asked him from the ground.

"I'm gonna find a way out of this."

"Oh, right. A miracle cure. Good luck with that one." Damon scoffed.

"I got Bonnie looking for something, anything."

"Always the hero, Stefan. Just tell me good-bye, get it over with" Damon said coughing out blood.

"Lie still. Conserve your strength" Stefan assured him and left the house.

[Somewhere in the Forest]

It's been two days, since the curse was broken. Klaus was still rampaging around the town and forest in his wolf form while Perseus and Elijah were cleaning his mess. Elijah looked at his younger brother, "I didn't knew you would help him."

"And I didn't knew you were gonna blabber family secrets to strangers? or you'll think that Klaus will throw our siblings into ocean." Perseus snapped back at him.

"He is keeping our family in Coffins." Elijah reasoned.

"For good reason. If he let them go on their own, how long before they get themselves killed or enslaved or worse... Mikael's possession. You know how naive and idiotic they are." Perseus retorted.

Elijah thought for some time and said, "So, keeping them in coffins is okay to you. They are our family, Perseus... Our siblings."

"I know Klaus is not right all the time but in this case he is. Once we deal with Mikael, I'll gladly protect them from Klaus. Also, 'Loyalty and honesty makes you family', big brother." With that Perseus sped towards Klaus who had just woken up in his human form. He tossed him some clothes as Elijah followed him to reach Klaus.

"You've been busy." Elijah commented while Klaus was looking at sky in awe, memories of his transformation flowing through his mind. He admitted to his siblings still in amazement, "That was amazing."

He stood up to put on the clothes while Elijah was leaning against the tree, "How long has it been."

"Almost 2 days." Perseus said to his brother who was still wearing his clothes, "Full moon came and went. You remained a wolf." 

"I can change at will, then. It's good to know. I remember every single kill." Klaus commented, smiling at his younger brother while Elijah butted in, "Yes, we've been cleaning up your little mess along the way." 

"Just like old times, brother." Klaus chuckled looking at noble original while running his hands through his hair to remove any dirt or leaves.

 Elijah walks towards him and hands him his black combat shoes saying, "You've had your fun. I believe we have a bargain."
