My Light, My Flame ll KlausMikaelson

Back Again

Genevieve wanders into the Jardin Gris, closing the door behind her. She senses someone's presence, and is startled when Klaus appears behind her

Genevieve smiles weakly,"You disappeared from the party."

Elijah enters the room, examining an athame,"do you care to explain why you would choose to torment us with visions of our father?"

Genevieve looked at genuinely surprised,"your father? I didn't. I wouldn't!"

" Of course, how foolish of me. It must have been that other witch that's been parading through our house in scraps of lace."

"I know how talented you are with your tongue, Genevieve. Might I recommend you use it to provide answers? I would so hate to tear it from your mouth." Klaus said.

Genevieve laughs nervously," As much as I enjoy these repeated accusations of wrongdoings, I don't know what you're talking about. But, if you've both been seeing your dead father, I can try to get you answers."

Klaus strokes Genevieve's neck menacingly,"Fine. Go."

"Niklaus, don't you dare let her..."

"Go!"

Genevieve quickly runs out the door.

Klaus walks toward Elijah,"You don't trust her, and you're right not to. Only a fool would. But, she certainly wants us to, doesn't she?"

" Let me guess, there's something of benefit for you in all of this, isn't there?" Elijah asked.

"I need a witch to make those rings for the wolves. Perhaps we'll get both answers and cooperation?"

Elijah is standing on the balcony when Genevieve approaches him from behind

"Genevieve."

" I asked around. It's not just your father. The purgatory where supernatural souls are trapped is disintegrating."

"What do you mean, "disintegrating?"

Klaus enters the room," She's right... more or less. It's actually imploding. I made a call to a rather reluctant Bennett witch in Mystic Falls who said the same thing. The dead are being torn away into nothingness. And, they're not interested in going quietly."

"You called Bonnie?" Kaya asked dropping her bag,"what happened? Is she okay?"

"And hello to you too." Klaus said

"Klaus." Kaya greeted.

Klaus stared at her for a while.

Genevieve became increasingly annoyed and jealous by their staring.

"Bonnie wanted me to let you know. she's fine. And for you not to worry."

"Great to have you join us. As you were saying that our father, faced with permanent extinction, has decided to spend his remaining tormenting us? How delightful!"

"Well, on the plus side, we'll soon be rid of his abhorrent soul forever. And what a good riddance that will be!"

Genevieve sighs,"So, am I in the clear, Elijah? Or is there a new conspiracy you two would like to threaten me over?"

"Nothing springs to mind at this precise moment..."

"Oh, gee. Thanks." Genevieve said. She stops in front of Klaus,"I have to get back to the girls. Perhaps tomorrow, after the funeral, you and I could spend some time together. Alone?"
