The Mikealson Twins

For the Next Millennium

At the MIKAELSON COMPOUND, Freya is at the desk in the study, where she is writing a letter to Rebekah. She narrates in voiceover as the scene cuts to various locations while she catches her youngest sister up on what has been happening in New Orleans

FREYA: [voiceover] My dear Rebekah, I hope this finds you well. I write to offer an update and ask for your advice.

Downstairs in the dining room, Klaus and Elijah are sitting opposite of each other at the end of the table, staring at each other silently. Klaus looks amused and seems to be challenging Elijah to say something, but Elijah remains silent, his expression emotionless. After a moment, Elijah stands to his feet and leaves the room, glaring at Klaus the entire time. Just as Elijah is about to walk through the door, Klaus opens his mouth to speak, but decides not to say anything at the last moment

FREYA: [voiceover] Our brothers remain at odds. Klaus will never apologize-- not for the blood he's shed, nor the suffering Hayley continues to endure-- and Elijah can never forgive him. Despite my efforts, we are a house divided. Which is not to say I have no good news...

FREYA: [voiceover] Niklaus kept his word-- Marcel controls the Quarter. There, he has founded a fight gym in the old St. Anne's Church where he tests the mettle of those who wish to join his vampire community.

FREYA: [voiceover] Elijah has begun joining him for sparring. I believe it helps him work through his anger... and he has much anger.

FREYA: [voiceover] While Hope and Mercy continues to flourish, it is clear they both misses their mother. Though Niklaus remains the doting father, he has been of no help in finding a cure for Hayley's curse.

THE BAYOU, where night has fallen and the full moon is bright in the sky. The cursed Crescent wolves transform into their human forms, allowing Hayley to meet up with Elijah, Freya,Hope, and Mercy the latter's of whom Hayley immediately pulls into her arms and embraces tightly with a wide, though weary, smile

FREYA: [voiceover] Despite my best efforts, I've yet to find the means to undo the spell placed on her and the Crescent wolves, and Hayley herself continues to struggle, unable to see her daughters except for one night a month during the full moon. And we're in no position to ask for outside help...

FREYA: [voiceover] Meanwhile, Niklaus has begun to see Camille for what he calls "their little chats." He claims a desire to amend his ways. In truth, he seems utterly free of remorse... which only drives Elijah further away.

Back in the study, Freya finishes up her letter to Rebekah

FREYA: [voiceover] I wonder if you would write me with any advice you have on how to heal their fractured bond. Until then, I remain your loving sister Freya

Freya picks up the letter and examines it for a moment before crumpling it up and gripping it tightly in her hands. She mutters an unintelligible spell under her breath for a moment until the letter disappears, having been magically sent to Rebekah wherever she is, before she smiles

Freya is in one of the upstairs sitting rooms with Hope, and the two are sitting on a spread out blanket on the floor as they play with the various toys that surround them. Elijah is standing nearby in his usual suit as he watches them

[about Hope and Mercy] there getting bigger by the second.

Elijah paces back and forth beside where Freya, Hope and Mercy are playing

Thank you for all of your care.

Tomorrow's the full moon. I can help you bring the twins to Hayley, if you'd like.

That won't be necessary. You deserve a night off.

Elijah smiles and kneels on the floor to play with Hope and Mercy just as Klaus walks into the room to join them and jumps into their conversation unbidden. At the sound of his brother's voice, Elijah instantly scowls in anger
