Chapter 22: Eyes That Looked Like Full Moons

2x16

Elijah has just arrived to the compound, where he has joined Klaus, who is waiting for him in the dining room in anticipation for their family brunch. Ophira was sitting at the table eager to meet Freya, another Firstborn Mikaelson witch, she was also eager to eat. 

KLAUS: There you are. Finally.

[Elijah strips off his coat and hangs it up before heading toward the table]

ELIJAH: I was delayed.KLAUS: [smiles] Our guest of honor will be here momentarily.ELIJAH: [bemused] Strange, our house is conspicuously absent of our lupine guests. I do hope it wasn't on my account.KLAUS: [laughs] I sent Hayley and her poorly groomed husband off to spend the day with their werewolf brethren to test the limits of their new abilities. Leaving me to deal with family business as I see fit.ELIJAH: [suspiciously] Niklaus, Rebekah's situation has taken a turn. We may need Freya's assistance. So, whatever you are planning here? Don't.KLAUS: [rolls his eyes] All I'm planning is a simple chat with a long-lost relative. You yourself said to hear her out.ELIJAH: And you yourself said that would be idiocy.KLAUS: [amused] Did I?

[He feigns as though he's straining to remember when he said this]

KLAUS: Well, it does sound like me. Regardless, on the off-chance Freya has some information that could protect my daughters, I'd prefer she share it on my terms. [He points toward his ear] Ah! I think I hear her now!

[He turns to the door just as Freya walks into the dining room, smiling at her brothers]

KLAUS: Sister! Well, come in! Come in! Make yourself comfortable.
[Freya looks slightly nervous, but smiles warmly at them]

[Freya, Ophira, Klaus, and Elijah are making small talk in the dining room of the compound.] 

[Ophira walked over to Freya to introduce herself]
OPHIRA: I'm Ophira Hightower, one of 
FREYA: Dahlia's descants I've heard of you powerful witch, I believe I met your ancestor at a Christmas Party in 1916.
OPHIRA: Did she have grey eyes that looked like full moons. 
FREYA: Yes actually how did you know?
OPHIRA: That's my mom Luna, long story.
[Freya has a small round artifact in her hands and is examining it carefully]

FREYA: This witch-hoop, it's Danish. Is this from when you all lived in Copenhagen in the 1500s?KLAUS: Quite the eye!ELIJAH: [impatiently] Forgive me-- are we here to discuss family heirlooms, or do we have more pressing concerns?KLAUS: Please excuse my brother's lack of decorum. He's been in a foul mood of late. But, he is right. I did ask you here in the hopes that you would share some of Dahlia's secrets. So, without further ado, let's get to it!

[The three of them take their seats at the table, which is full of breakfast food, and start their discussion. Freya clears her throat awkwardly before she begins to speak]

FREYA: The first thing you should know is that Dahlia is the most powerful witch I've ever seen. She craves more power still. Right now she is like me-- limited to one year of life in a century. But, she wants to be free of that restriction. To gain true immortality. And that is why she will come here-- drawn by your daughter to take the child's power for herself. And she would kill anyone who would defy her.ELIJAH: And yet you would defy her?FREYA: I don't have a choice. She will never let me be free. My one chance is to align with you and kill her.

[Elijah looks troubled by this revelation, but Klaus doesn't seem convinced]

KLAUS: Well, now that we're all suitably motivated, let's talk specifics!FREYA: [takes a deep breath] For you to understand, I need to start from the beginning.
After her Story...
FREYA: She killed them all with a wave of her hand. That was my first inkling of the power Dahlia had. Over the course of a thousand years, she's only grown stronger. [She turns toward Klaus] And she will bring all her power to bear against you when she comes for your child. [She turn towards Ophira] And she will come for you.
OPHIRA: Lovely
