Rising Like Phoenix From The Flame.....(Edited)

Klaus P.O.V

Star was determined to take my mother down once and for all and I knew exactly what she meant by that. That she will be the one to bring my mother's death. I wasn't a fool when asked me if I understood what she meant by that. I know my mother had put Star through hell and back literally and confirming that she was the one who brought Star death. I didn't want to take from her the opportunity of doing that but I wanted a hand in this take down. I spent months grieving over Star death and this was all down to her. A part of me already knew of this but having it all confirm relighted that rage I held towards her. So it would be an honor to take her down once and for all with Star.

We both knew if we were going to go ahead with this that we had to leave Chance behind and as hard as that was for Star, she didn't see Chance and Hope coming home until she was put down. She was right as this story of Dahlia was just that a story so the only threat was my mother. I knew I had another demon to slaughter before it was official for my children to come home. That was Mikael he was a threat to me and would also be a threat to my family. Once that white oak stake was driven into his heart that when our family could be finally complete. This was something I wanted to do alone as he my dragon to slay as I have allowed him to control me for far too long, I will drive that stake through him once and I intend to do it once again. For not only for me but my family.

Watching Star saying her goodbyes to Chance was difficult but she knew, that he was in the safe hands of Damon. Even though Hayley and Elijah were staying behind Star would only entrust our son life with Damon, it wasn't that she didn't trust my brother or Hayley, but in Star eyes Damon her family. What helped matter was that both Chance and Hope were used to Damon. Even for myself it was difficult to walk away from my children but I knew that in time we will be all together. There was something else that caught my eye with these goodbye and that was how Damon and Rebekah were behaving. Damon was not happy about any of this I could hear him asking Rebekah to reconsider. Of course my sister is known for her stubbornness Damon wasn't going to change her mind, as they looked at one another I could see that something had developed between them something I didn't expect in a million years. I knew if I became all big brother right now it would only delay in taking our mother down. But Damon and I will be having a talking about this revelation.

The drive back to New Orleans was very quiet to start with as each of us were displeased about leaving but also knew what was to come. My sister was taking a huge risk in trying to fool our mother part of me thought she was brave. The other half kept thinking that in some way Rebekah would double cross me but I shook those thoughts away. While I was driving I received a phone call from Marcel confirming that Kol will help under a condition. Of course I didn't expect any less from Kol he always had to have something to his advantage, he wasn't one to do something for his family without gaining something... No Kol has not changed one bit even after our talk.

So what was Kol wanting from me? A diamond that I took from him when he was up to his trickery back in 1914 with two witches. In fact one of the witches was a Claire witch her name was Mary-Alice she fell for Kol charm just as Davina has of course I knew that this diamond had something to do with Kol plotting against me but he has always failed in his attempts. So I told Marcel I agree to his terms and that I will hand over the diamond as long as he played his part. That he found a suitable suitor for Rebekah to jump into that wasn't Camille.

"You are mad to give Kol that diamond." Star spoke as soon as I closed the call. I knew she was worried and didn't trust Kol one bit. Neither did I but I needed to assure her that there was no need to threat as Kol's little dastardly plan he may have in the making will only fail like always.

"Sweetheart my little brother has been plotting against me for years, and he hasn't got a lick of it right. I'll take my chances." I could see that she wasn't overly convince but she will see in time that Kol efforts will always fail. I looked in the rearview to see Rebekah looking with concern also. "Do you know what to do?" I need for her to understand that we are risking a lot in doing this. Rebekah takes a deep breath.
