Klaus's POV:
I walk into the kitchen to find a note.
Out with Hope. Phone is broken. We should be back around 6 or so.
- Hayley
Exhausted after the previous night, I sink into a chair, blood bag in one hand, glass of bourbon in the other. Being the only person in the house, I knew I couldn't leave to feed.
Flashback:
The room is crowded with people. I'd no sooner kick all of them out of our home but we have to be civil and play the human card, for a moment at least.
We were celebrating peace within the town which from the supernatural perspective was anything but, however, the less the humans knew, the less they could interfere with the larger plans.
All it cost was a few hours of chitchat with the humans for one night and we were golden. Keep them distracted from the true goals behind our property deals: switching our deeds over to Freya.
The dullest part of vampirism?
If the owner of the home has a heartbeat, you need an invitation to enter. Kill the owner or get welcomed in.
No vampires were immune to this rule.
Which is exactly what we wanted.
With Kol and Rebekah secured in their coffins in the basement and Elijah by my side, everything was going off with a hitch. I look across the room as the door opens and Lorelei walks in. She's wearing a beautiful spaghetti-strapped dark blue dress that hugs her figure perfectly.
I walk up to Lorelei and take her hand. We move over to the dance floor. My hand on her lower back, the other holding hers as we sway back and forth.
She doesn't maintain eye contact with me and I sense something's off.
I spin her around as I ask what's on her mind. She doesn't answer at first.
"I did something you're not going to like."
I stop dancing with her immediately and now, am worried my gut was correct.
Lorelei pulls out a silver dagger.
I stare at it for a long moment.
"What did you do?" I demand angrily
A piercing scream rattled through the room, cutting all other sounds to a halt.
"Go upstairs. Now. Do not leave the room." I snap at her
I turn around to see the crowd dividing in two as people try to back away from whoever is walking across the middle, all visibly afraid and shaken.
Rebekah, mouth coated in blood, is holding onto a woman with a very obvious neck would.
She lets her fall to the ground.
The reaction is instant.
People scream and run for the exits. They trip over one another, trying desperately to escape the horror they'd just witnessed.
"So sorry. Did I ruin the party?" Rebekah asks sarcastically
The door opens, disrupting my thoughts.
Elijah stands there watching me quietly as he closes the door behind him. I stare up at him from my seat, waiting for whatever he had to say.
"Do you believe it to be a wise decision bringing her back here?" He asks after a long moment, choosing his words carefully
"Why wouldn't it be?" I growl
"If what you say is true and Lorelei had indeed turned her emotions off, we could be putting lives at stake Nikklaus."
"We're all dangerous dear brother."
"But it is our humanity that keeps us from such decisions."
"This is her home!" I snip
More silence.
"Tell me this brother, did she come back willingly or did you force her hand?"
"She's safer here with us." I say as I stand and push past him
I make my way upstairs to Lorelei's room.
I open the door and expect to find her hiding ready to rush me again or be asleep on the bed.
But the room is empty.
Once again, she's gone.
