"WELL, IF IT ISN'T THE LOVELY NATALIA." Kol smirked while the witch smiled gently in response. She had been 'summoned' by Klaus to help his siblings preform a spell even though he much rather have her rest her body. "Enough conversation, start the bloody spell." Klaus grumbled as he pushed himself off of the wall. Natalia looked him up and down with annoyance held to her face. His attitude was already getting on her nerves. "He's channeling our parents, Nik. There's no point of trying, even with Nat here." Rebekah sighed. She was already agitated with being in a different body and now her magic was going haywire.
"Don't give up now, Bekah." Natalia gave the witch a reassuring smile to try to ease her nerves. Klaus has now grown out of the patience he could possibly have. "Well, then we will have to search inside of Kol's mind. Maybe we can find the spell out brother Finn caste upon you." he offered as he stepped toward a now frightened Kol. "I'm not allowing anybody into my mind. Do you understand?" Kol jumped to his feet and lifted up a defensive finger toward him. "You came into my home asking for my help. This is it. It's not a request." Klaus placed his fingers onto Kol's head only to step back in shock and anger.
"See? I'm guessing just by the look on your face, that it worked." Kol gulped before Klaus was able to speed towards him and throw him against the wall. "Niklaus!" Natalia shouted in shock of the sudden action. She rushed towards Kol to check for any wounds he may have. If was not like she could help it, it was her motherly instinct. "You come simpering for love. And the whole time you're plotting against me with that dagger! You're no better than Finn." Klaus huffed in anger. He felt betrayed and played by his younger brother. It also didn't help Kol's case that Natalia was all over him tending to his every need. "Threatening me makes you better than Finn?" Kol argued back with him.
"Both of you, just stop it" Rebekah stood up from the couch trying to dilute the situation. Sighing in relief, Natalia silently thanked the original. "I came to you because you are my family. I see whilst you and Rebekah and Elijah all hang portraits and share secrets...I'm the odd one out!" Kol gently shoved Natalia aside and with a grunt, he pushed himself up from the ground. "Wanna know where Finn is? Find a way to kill him?" Kol asked as he began to step dangerously closer towards Klaus. "Then you can figure it out yourself." he spat at them then used his magic to painfully force his siblings to the ground. "Thank you." Kol thanked Natalia before he angrily exited the compound.
