Klaus

Estella sat on the couch in Alaric's apartment with a glass of bourbon in her hand.

To say she was bored was an understatement. Klaus had brought his witch to get him into his own body, and Katherine was making herself some coffee. Maddox, the witch, left the house a minute later.

"Where is he going?" Katherine asked, handing Klaus her coffee.

"To retrieve me. So I can get out of this bad hair-do." Klaus replied, taking the mug out of her hands.

"Are you sure that's a good idea, Klaus?" Katherine asked. Klaus looked towards Estella who was scrolling mindlessly through Instagram. When Estella felt his eyes on her she hummed.

"Yeah, yeah it's a great idea," Estella mumbled. Katherine rolled her eyes, then turned back to Klaus, who was not amused with Estella not paying attention.

"Well, the full moon is almost upon us. I've killed the witch, I have the moonstone, and the doppelgänger is waiting in the wings. Ohh, I am ready to break this curse. Not just for me, but for my dear sister as well." He said, motioning to Estella who kept drinking and scrolling.

"Why thank you, for thinking of me. Now as you're doing that, I'm going to get a bite to eat." Estella replied, walking to the door. She quickly left before anything was said, wanting to be outside in peace.

As Estella walked around, not caring where she went, she decided to visit the Lockwood's. She hadn't been introduced to Tyler, and she'd want to do that now, seeing as he would be the werewolf used in the sacrifice. As she walked up the steps, she saw a car pull up near the mansion. She focused her vision and saw her older brother, Elijah, as well as Elena, who she had met just yesterday. She quickly walked up the steps and knocked on the door. Carol Lockwood opened it a second later. Estella compelled her to let her in, and she rushed into a random room. Tyler wasn't home, and she needed a place to hide.

As Estella hid, Elena told Elijah about how Klaus took over Alaric's body.

"Of course." He said, lightly scoffing. "One of his favorite tricks." He paused before continuing. "Estella must be with him."

"Who?" Elena questioned, not knowing about anyone named Estella.

"Niklaus' twin sister," Elijah told her. Elena was shocked. She didn't know anything about Klaus's twin. She hadn't even heard of her. As Elijah saw Elena's look of surprise, he had thought Estella had done the same thing as Klaus.

"She must have jumped into another's body as well." He told her. Elena slowly nodded her head.

"What are his other tricks? You're the only one who knows him. And this other girl, Estella." Elena said, almost pleadingly.

"Yes, I do," Elijah said almost sadly. Estella was never like Niklaus. She was more kind, and she didn't kill for fun. She joked around all the time, and always lightened up the mood. Elijah never wanted to harm her, no matter what she did she was always one of his favorites, along with Rebekah.

Estella heard the doorbell ring. She knew it was Elijah and Elena. Elijah probably wanted a change in suits. She rolled her eyes at the thought but quickly refocused her hearing on the conversation happening between the two and Carol.
