Klaus is sitting at the table pouring himself a cup of blood when Elijah walks in.

"Ugh, O-postive. You heathen." Elijah says.

"New rules. No blood shed in the house where my kids sleeps and plays." Klaus tries to drink the blood but he can't so he puts it on the table." Perhaps I'll go out for dinner."

"Oh, no, no,no. We have no way to know who will take Domino's place as the Hallows right hand. There could be any number of disciples out there."

"Yes, yes, yes, all who may have the means to kills us. You know,if you hadn't been so hasty to kill him, we'd be dealing with the devil we know."

"Spoken by the devil I know best of all." Elijah says as he turns around and starts walking away.

"I take it you have a plan." Elijah stops walking.

"Freya will place a barrier spell on the compound. No one gets in or out." Klaus stands up.

"Oh, so we're to stay here while our enemies seek to resurrection this monstrosity and let me guess, you won't be confined here." Klaus says as he walks over to Elijah.

"I have a little errand to run."

"And while you're off cavorting all over town, I'm what? Grounded?"

"Essentially. Why don't you take out your frustration on that filthy jawbone on our enemy seems so fascinated by." Elijah then turns and walks out.

"Gladly." Klaus says.

Freya walks out the voodoo shop and she starts walking down the street. She then stopped when she sees Dominic walking looking around.

"A man of words and not of deeds, it's like a garden full of weeds. And when the weeds begin to crawl, it's like a bird upon the wall." Hope says as she reads a book.

"I don't like poetry." Miranda says as she opens her bedroom door.

"And when the bird away it does fly, it's like an eagle in the sky. And when the sky begins to roar, it's like a lion at the door. And when the door begins to crack..... It's like a stick across your back." Hope says. Miranda walks over and sits on the bed next to Hope.

Klaus places the jawbone on the table and he grabs a sledgehammer and jabs it into the jaw bone but the jawbone doesn't break.

In the dungeon Marcel is sitting down holding his head in pain.

"And when you're back begins too smart, it's like a knife inside your heart. And when your heart begins to bleed, you're dead and dead and dead indeed." Miranda laughs.

"Not exactly the most uplifting reading material." Klaus says as he walks in the room.

"It's an old book of rhymes. There's a lot of work stuff here." Hope says.

"You know, Hope and Miranda, I'd rather you guys don't play here, actually all of the splinters in the dust.... And the bats."

"There aren't any bats." Miranda says.

"I see no evidence that your uncle Elijah doesn't sleep here, hanging upside down." Klaus says and Miranda smiles.

"Dad.... Was there a little boy who used to live here?" Hope says. Klaus walks over to home and she hands him the book.

"Come along, sweetheart's. We will get your brothers and we can discuss ancient history another time."they all walk out the Attic.
