The minute Oliver walks out, I turn to the others. "Okay, new plan. Klaus, you will grab the dagger and kill Oliver. He'll stand beside you, and instead of turning toward Hayley, you'll turn to him. Hope and Elijah will hold Evelyn back, because she's going to fight. If Evelyn cares, she'll run to him, but it will already be too late."

"Are you sure we should be sacrificing him for this?" Hope questions.

"I'm willing to risk her hatred if it saves innocent lives and ours." I respond. She sighs and they all leave.

I ponder for a moment. I need a human to undagger Evelyn, so she has something to feed on. I look down at Evelyn's dagger before leaving the room.

"Oh, hey, Freya." Samantha says, walking near me.

"Hey, I need your help." I can use her.

"What is it?" She asks, her eyebrows furrowing slightly.

"I need you to undagger Evelyn." I tell, and she laughs in disbelief before walking down the stairs.

"You really think I'm stupid enough to undagger Evelyn? Not happening." She says firmly as I follow her.

"We need you to undagger her, so we can get her humanity back. You are our only chance." I lie. She sighs, shaking her head as she walks down the second flight of stairs. "Sam, please." I am practically begging at this point.

"I said no, Freya. I need to go find Julianna." She tells as she walks toward the door.

Klaus walks into the room and I look at him, then at Sam. He nods, seeming to know what I'm asking, and vamp-speeds in front of Sam.

"I've got vervain in my system, so don't even try." Sam sneers before walking around him and leaving.

I sigh exasperatedly and think about who I can use. A random stranger will have to do. I walk outside and grab a girl. She looks at me with disgust. "Get off of me." She demands, but I just bring her inside toward Klaus.

He looks at her and I watch as her pupils dilate. "You will follow whatever directions we may give, and you will not speak unless asked a question. Understood?"

"Understood."

"Go sit on the couch." I order, and she walks to the couch, sitting down.

"Everyone's ready. We just need to take our places." Klaus informs, and I nod.

I walk to the couch and stare at the brunette. "Follow me." I command, and she stands up.

I walk downstairs and walk toward Evelyn's cell, the girl following me. I unspell her coffin and open the lid.

"When this timer goes off," I set a timer on my phone. "You will remove this dagger and allow her to feed from you. You will stay quiet." I say, and she nods.
