"YOU'RE HOVERING." Freya sighed as Klaus paced.

"I'm supervising." Klaus corrected. "How else to speed up your endeavors? Let's see. Perhaps I should bring Vincent here? Force him to aid you by removing his legs?"

"Vincent doesn't know how to kill Lucien, either." Leviana deadpanned. "Besides, if he leaves the St. James, who knows what the Ancestors will make him do next?"

"The Ancestors are thoroughly occupied, according to Davina, terrorizing our brother." Elijah informed, walking into the room.

"What a surprise! Another day, another witch-inspired vendetta." Klaus mused.

"Well, Davina can take care of Kol for now." Elijah told him. "Let us focus our energies on Lucien. How do we demolish that rodent?"

"We're working on it." Leviana rolled her eyes.

"Yes! While we all have our roles to play, Elijah can stay here and oversee whatever you're doing. I'm going to actually accomplish something."

"Brother, accomplishing something —"

"The time for talking is done!" Klaus snapped, walking out the door.

"WE'RE OUT OF TIME." Elijah told them as Freya made a symbol with charcoal.

"A sigil is a complicated magical symbol, weaponized and condensed to its most potent form." Leviana anxiously said. "If I combine the right elements, we'll have a chance at stopping Lucien, and if I don't . . ."

And suddenly, panicked knocking filled the compound. Everyone rushed to the courtyard.

"What's wrong?" Hayley asked, panting.

"It's Klaus . . . Lucien has him." Cami panted.

"Freya! Invite her in!" Hayley ordered,

"Yeah, come in, you're invited."

"Tell us what happened." Elijah demanded as Cami entered.

"Lucien ambushed him." Cami said. "He knocked him around like it was nothing."

"Did he bite him?" Leviana asked.
