Klaus's POV:
I storm into the study where Freya is sitting in a circle of salt with candles all around her.
"There's this respectful thing called: knocking." She says
"Don't you dare lecture me on respect!" I snap
She opens her eyes and stares up at me. The candles go out as whatever spell she was doing had now been interrupted. She snaps her fingers and they reignite.
"When were you going to tell me about your dreams of our crazy Aunt?" I demand
She sighs and stands up.
"I wasn't." She says
"That woman tried to kill my child! You should've told me immediately." I demand
"Hayley told you?"
"I heard her and Elijah discussing it, yes. I should have been the first to know!"
I look around the room at the writing along the walls and the circle of salt with candles inside.
"Tell me this sister, are we in danger?" I demand
She sighs and looks at me.
"I'm not sure."
I give her a dirty look.
"Honestly Klaus I don't know. I'm still not too sure what's going on." She says
"Let's be clear the witch who attempted to kill my child may or may not be walking around?" I snap voice rising
"We watched her die Klaus! It has to be something else! It has to!" She yells back at me
It's in this moment that I really look at Freya.
She has bags under her eyes like she hasn't slept in a century and she's a little unsteady on her feet. I give her a hand to the couch which she collapses onto with a frustrated sigh.
"Something is plaguing you sister." I say
She puts her face in her hands and lets out a sad sigh then turns back to me.
"I keep having this flashback of a time Dahlia and I went to a village deep in Indiana. By the time we left, we burned the entire town to the ground." Freya says
She seems like she has more to say so I wait.
"As you know I never chose to participate with Dahlia's schemes, I was forced."
"Freya we need to find out if this is a legitimate threat or if it's simply nightmares." I say
She gives me a hard look.
"It's not nightmares." She says
"We have to be certain-" I begin
"They aren't nightmares Klaus. It's memories. I'm reliving that same moment on repeat. Everything I felt, the sounds of the witches dying, the smell of the smoke..." She trails off and looks toward the doorway
Kol is standing there looking like he's seen a ghost. He opens his mouth but says nothing.
"What?" Freya asks
"I've seen this before. Freya may be right Nik. This may not be our wicked aunt." Kol says
"What are you blabbering about?" I ask
"I knew a witch who practiced solely in penetrating the minds of her enemies. Head dives and the like. It was the only subject she'd had a keen interest in. She studied it obsessivly." He says walking into the room to join us
"Where did you meet her?" Freya asks
"Rilesville, a small town in Indiana. 1428. Her name was Kira Rileston."" Kol says
Freya closes her eyes for a moment then lets out a loud blow of air.
"That's the place from my memory."
"Is it the same woman?" Klaus asks
"I don't know that name. I need to come with a way we can figure this out. This is going to be difficult since there's no photos from that time."
"What do you need?" Klaus asks
"I need some space to figure this out. Until we know if it's the same woman, we're at risk."
