"Family means no one gets left behind or forgotten."

As compelled people wheeled the two coffins that contained the Mikaelson brothers into the room, Caelum finally had to accept the fact that this was actually happening.

Rebekah was smiling, shaking her hands whilst sitting on a chair. Elijah had a soft smile on his face, and was holding Caelum's hand in his gently while the two sat on a couch, Caelum tucked into his side. Niklaus was watching from a corner as more compelled people brought in bags; which contained clothes, a phone (which Rebekah had insisted on), and other things that Caelum and Rebekah had decided the two originals would need.

"Okay, you can leave now. Scatter." Nik said, stopping two people. "You two. Wait here for my brothers to wake up and let them feed on you. Got it?"

The two compelled people nodded, stopping where they were. Klaus moved forward, opening the coffins and pulling the daggers out of the chests of the oldest and youngest Mikaelson males.

Without a word Klaus walked over to Caelum, handing them the daggers he had pulled out of his siblings. With a pointed look, he sighed and handed them the other two.

"Thank you. These are all of them?" Caelum asked, and Niklaus nodded. "Good."

"Caelum, what are you-" Elijah stopped himself from finishing the sentence as he and Rebekah watched the witch-vampire hybrid light the daggers on fire.

The metal melted into a puddle and dripped onto the floor, and with another wave of Caelum's hand, it disappears.

"Did you just-" Rebekah starts to ask.

"I did. No more dagger threats."

"How did you get Niklaus to agree with this?" Elijah asks.

Caelum and Klaus look at each other before Caelum turns back to Elijah. "We reached a mutual agreement."

That was one way to explain the talk Caelum and Niklaus had at 3 am, which ended with both crying and eating ice cream. But they didn't need to know that.

"Anyways, how long do you think it will take for them to wake up?" Caelum asked, directing their question to Klaus.

"Not sure. It usually ranges from about 15 minutes to two hours."

"Great."

Caelum leaned into Elijah's side, putting their head on his shoulder and reading his book with him. Rebekah was scrolling through social media, commenting about some things out loud. Klaus was writing something down, what he was writing about the trio didn't know.

Footsteps and two thuds broke the four's concentration and they all looked up. Two men were standing there, which Caelum recognized easily.

The one in front wore 1920s fancy clothing, reminding Caelum of the fact that Kol was daggered at a nice party. His hair was cut short, and he had a smirk on his face, one Caelum had seen multiple times in Elijah's memories.

The other wore simpler clothing from centuries ago, from 900 years ago. His dark hair long and curly, and framed Finn's face. He wore an angry expression with a scowl, yet curiosity was found in his eyes.
