Versatile | Elijah and Katherine's Daughter [Book 1]

Chapter 48: Thanksgiving With People I Hate

3x7

A/N: This is probably the longest chapter I have written yet. Also Baby Katerina will have nickname in season 4. Enjoy!

[Elijah and Adela return to the MIKAELSON COMPOUND, where he begins to loudly call out for Klaus as soon as he enters the courtyard]

ELIJAH: Niklaus! Niklaus!

[Just then, Klaus appears on the balcony behind him, looking unamused]

KLAUS: You shout loud enough to wake the dead.

ELIJAH: [annoyed] Can't pick up your phone? Your sister is missing.

[Before Klaus can reply, Aurora comes out onto the balcony in Klaus' button-down shirt and joins their conversation. Klaus immediately sighs in embarrassment as Aurora addresses Elijah cheerfully]

AURORA: Well... She's not exactly missing. And, as long as everyone behaves themselves, you can trust me to tell you where she is.

[Klaus smiles a tiny smile at Elijah in hopes that he will understand that he has a plan, but Elijah just stares at him, clearly appalled by Aurora's presence. Aurora's fake-nice tone of voice disappears and is replaced by a more sarcastic one]

AURORA: Hello, Elijah. Adela. 

[Elijah and Adela glare at her furiously]

ADELA: [to Klaus] Seriously what is with you psycho redhead, I mean SERIOUSLY!

ELIJAH: Give me my sister. Or perhaps I can pay a little visit to your brother, Tristan.

KLAUS: [exasperatedly] Elijah, Adelina, please. Aurora and I have come to an agreement.

[Klaus places one hand on Aurora's back, and Elijah and Adela continue to gape at them in horror as Aurora links her arm with Klaus' free one and gives Elijah a territorial glare. Klaus gives Elijah and Adela a sheepish look as though he's embarrassed about having to play along with her game]

AURORA: [smiles] Yes, Nik and I find now that your vile act of compulsion has been revealed, there's really no reason why we can't pick up where we left off a thousand years ago.

[Klaus pulls Aurora closer to him so that their faces are only inches apart]

KLAUS: Go on, love. I need to have a word with my brother and niece. 

[Aurora smiles and nuzzles her nose in his neck before she leaves, and Klaus once again shoots a sheepish smile at Elijah]

ADELA: Is it possible for vampire to throw up.

[Klaus' study, where he and Adela, Elijah are arguing about Klaus' plans]

ELIJAH: Am I to assume that you've gone completely mad?

ADELA: Wait this new information. 

[Klaus walks over to Elijah and Adela with three drinks in his hands and gives one to him and Adela]

KLAUS: You see madness, I see method!

ELIJAH: [rolls his eyes] And that method would be what, Niklaus? To fornicate with the she-devil who took our sister?

KLAUS: To be clear, The Strix took our sister. Aurora simply hijacked her. I will get Rebekah back. Trust me. Keeping Aurora close garners the goodwill we need.
