MIKAELSON COMPOUND
[In the courtyard, Hayley is munching on an array of fruit and other breakfast food when Klaus comes down the stairs to join her.]
HAYLEY: So, which restaurant's missing a compelled chef?
KLAUS: [approaches her] It's certainly a card I've played in the past, but I had no hand in this... [Gestures to the food on the table.]
HAYLEY: Hmm. Well, then, I guess we have Elijah or Amelia to thank.
[Elijah and Amelia joins them in the courtyard.]
ELIJAH: [confused] This wasn't my doing...
AMELIA: Neither was mine.
KLAUS: [looks at Amelia] [teasing] Spending a lot of time around here, aren't we?
AMELIA: [annoyed] Oh, shut up.
[Klaus smirks]
HAYLEY: [frowns] Then, where did this all come from?
[The silver lid on the platter starts to rattle, startling Hayley, Amelia and Elijah. Klaus looks uneasy when he lifts the platter, which releases two starlings that fly up toward the ceiling, causing the three to reflexively duck. They all look puzzled and nervous.]
HAYLEY: What the hell was that?
[Klaus reaches for the invitation and opens it. It reads, "Dinner, Your Home, 8PM."]
KLAUS: An invitation from our mother.
Amelia: [mumbles] Great.
[Klaus and Elijah stare at each other in concern.]
==============
[Klaus stares at the invitation while he stands on the balcony overlooking the French Quarter. He eventually turns to head back into his bedroom, where Hayley is laying flat on Klaus' bed.]
HAYLEY: It is times like this I'm really glad I never knew my mother.
KLAUS: We have enough enemies here. And now, the war for our home is to be fought against my own family.
HAYLEY: Your wretched mother and her disciples tried to put a carving knife through our baby's heart. I will happily add to the body count.
[Klaus smiles at Hayley, Elijah and Amelia enter the room.]
ELIJAH: You will do no such thing. Esther's a master in the art of possession. We know whose body she currently inhabits. We must decipher her intentions before she finds a new host.
KLAUS: Well, her last invitation was an assassination attempt on all her children. I think we can assume her intentions are decidedly foul.
ELIJAH: [shrugs] Well, then. We have... [checks watch] this afternoon to prepare for the worst.
