Stefan is calling Klaus, who is in the woods in Portland.
"Portland is fantastic. Once you get over all the whiny music and healthy looking people, it is literally a breeding ground for werewolves"
"Your father is dead" Stefan says.
"What did you say to me?"
"Oh, my mistake. Not your actual father and not dead. Mikael. Daggered. What do you want me to do with the body?"
"Well, first I want you to explain to me exactly what happened"
One hour earlier, Salvatore Boarding House.
"Aye, let's say that Mikael followed Elena in here. He tried to grab her, so he could use her as bait" Stefan says.
"And you what? Vervained him?" Elena asks.
"No, we vervained him! This guy is an Original. To make it realistic" Damon says
"Okay, fine. We vervained him, and in the process discovered that he had a dagger"
"Which he planned to use on Rebekah, but instead..."
"We drove it through his heart"
"And what happens when he asks to see Mikael's body?" Brie says, cause she knew Klaus would want proof.
"Good point!" Damon looks at Stefan "You my brother have been compelled to do what Klaus says. So the idea is to lure him back here and kill him...last thing we need is you getting tripped up and tongue-tied"
"Well, don't look at me. I am just in charge of getting him back here"
"Klaus is smart. If we tell him that Mikael is dead, he'll want proof" Brie says.
Mikael walks in "Then I shall be dead"
"What if he wants to see you in person?" Brie asks.
"Well that means our plan is working. Klaus will absolutely want to see my body. You lure him here, and I will kill him"
"With what?" Stefan questions "Those daggers won't work on him"
"Well, I'm in possession of a stake fashioned from the wood of the ancient white oak tree. The one that left these ashes when it burned"
"Where is it?" Stefan asks.
Mikael is dipping a dagger in the ashes of the white oak tree "Not here. The knowing of its location is my insurance policy"
"Against what?"
"You leaving this in my heart. You see, a vampire can't dagger an original without dying. So...it falls to you" Mikael hands over the dagger to Elena.
"You want me to actually dagger you?" Elena asks, a little confused.
"Klaus will leave nothing to chance especially when it comes to trust"
