Elijah stood in the doorway unable to enter the room, his eyes never straying away from Maeve. He rested his hands in the pocket of his pants. Maverick stood by the barrier, his palms stretched open and eyes closed. He attempted to break it but kept failing with each attempt.
Kol leaned against the wall opposite the living room, his foot up on the wall and arms crossed. He impatiently pushed himself off of it and turned to Elijah, "we know she's going to wake up. Let me go and set the record straight with that doppelganger." pleaded Kol. Although he pleaded his case, his anger showed mercilessly in his tone.
"Kol, when she wakes up she needs to have everyone she cares about, around her. If──God forbid, if she is still in the hold of the prophecy we are the only ones who can keep her grounded." Elijah made the case on point sharply looking at his brother.
"Where is Rebekah then? Caroline?"
"Right here." said Rebekah and stood in the doorway next to Elijah. Caroline pushed past them and stepped inside, her eyes immediately going to Maeve to see if she had awakened.
"She still has the darkness, doesn't she?" asked Rebekah grimly. "And she still saved you?"
Kol gritted his teeth before he said, "the last thing she did was help me. Despite knowing what they could do, she protected me. I just don't understand why?"
"Because we cared for her." Caroline said with a wavering voice. "Klaus gave her that laughter she trusted from Damon. You gave her the friendship we were supposed to."
"Elena doesn't deserve to get the cure." declared Rebekah looking at her brothers. "Not after all of this."
"Of course you are still thinking about the cure." snapped Kol.
"Enough!" Elijah interjected. "While Rebekah you are right that Elena does not deserve to get the cure, right now we have to worry about Maeve. When she wakes up, we are not sure if it will be her whom we face or that darkness that had latched itself to her like a poltergeist."
A gasp filtered the room drawing everyone's attention. "What happened?" she asked breathlessly. Maeve looked at everyone with a bewildered gaze. Her eyes were filled with tears and her hair was messy. She looked disheveled and weak. "Ho---h---h---how did I get here? What happened?"
Everyone looked at each other before turning back to Maeve. Maeve studied everyone's looks and expression. "She did something, didn't she?"
"She did but something good...sort of." Caroline said, her tone serious but her eyes worried. "Let's forget about it."
"What did she do?"
Caroline looked at Klaus pleading to not say anything but Klaus was not going to comply. "Elena killed you because you tried saving Kol from her and help Jeremy." he explained.
Maeve groaned in response. "That bitch better not get the cure. She does not get the cure."
"She won't. I'll make sure of it." Rebekah told her assertively and in assurance.
"Go before they leave you behind. Good luck."
Rebekah's features softened immediately. "Are you sure? Are you okay?"
Maeve darkly scoffed before saying, "I'll be. Three originals as bodyguards, killer dark side and a prophesied death. What more could go wrong than it already has?" a sour look covered everyone's faces just as she did. She looked around the room, "what? Hey, I can joke. Self-saffeing jokes."
"I'll go then. Take care of her will you?" Rebekah glanced around the room seeing everyone curtly nod their heads.
