In The Eye of Her Storm // Klaus Mikaelson

Twenty-Four

Here i stood in an overly large mansion of which i wasn't invited into, lingering next to coffins filled with original vampires. It hadn't taken me long to track down the Mikaelson residence nor had it been a hard task to learn of the dinner that Damon had scheduled. 

I had no doubt something malicious was going to happen.

War was war, that didn't mean i couldn't twist it to benefit my own means. Ones i had planned out to fit any and all obstacles thrown at me.

"We would soon find out that tatia's blood was what we consumed the night of my mothers ritual." Ah, the noble Elijah had been woken. How could i forget? He himself was a factor in my scheme along with his siblings who would be awakened tonight, should all go well. 

I made my way silently to the dining room.

"Niklaus and I grew estranged, harsh words were traded, we even came to blows didn't we brother?" Elijah sounded calm but i suspected he still held rage. 

"But in the end we recognised the sacred bond of family." 

"Family above all." The pair spoke in unison.

"How endearing." I mused leaning upon the door way. It didn't take much for eyes to flit to me.

"Where the hell have you been?" Damon was the first to ask.

"Finding a solution to all your problems and therefor mine." I retorted calmly.

"Would you like a seat love? Perhaps even join us." Klaus stood as i made my way close, probably expecting me to deny the proposal.

"I'd love to." The shock was welcomed in his eyes as he ordered his servants to bring him another chair. Politely he offered me his so i could sit first and so i sat as the mediator between the Mikaelsons and Salvatores. 

"I say we move this evening along, Damon what are the terms of your proposal?" Elijah nodded my way in greeting before moving along.

"Well its very simple, Klaus gets his coffin back and in exchange he and the original extended family leave mystic falls forever." His words fit well with my plan.

"Me, Stefan, Elena and Eris live happily ever after, no grudges." He rose his glass as the original vampire nodded.

"Sounds fair brother." 

"You don't understand Elena's doppelganger blood ensures i can create more hybrids to kill those who appose me. I will never leave her behind amongst other things." My amusement flickered.

"How long until one of you two turns her into a vampire or get her killed between your feuding? Your caught in your own delusion that you are best to protect her, gentlemen the worse thing for Elena Gilbert is the two of you." He had stood to make his show as i smirked to Damon. 

"Then perhaps it is time i make my offer?" I had stood like he had to take the floor, Damon eyeing me in question.

"What do you have to offer?" Elijah asked just as i had wanted someone to.

"Everything and anything." I mused.

"You see im sick of waiting in the side-lines why you boys fight for top dog. So I've decided im ending this game. There will be no more blood shed in my town." Yes, the only way to keep all safe was to claim all and kill those who threatened my toys.

"Have i missed something?" Stefan asked making my smirk brighter.

"Yes you have, a new family is moving to Mystic falls and with them order. No one here dies and in turn everyone gets what they want." I walked behind Damon.
