Magic Within Us

Klaus Part I

"I don't get what's so special about some Tatia knock off." Emma scoffed.

"Jealous, are we?" Rebekah asked as she lifted her hands to let the modiste measure her upper chest.

Emma looked up from the book she had been reading.

"As if." She scoffed.

She set it down and got up, smoothing out the skirt of her gown.

Emma stood in front of the mirror on the other side of the room examining her curled hair.

She ran a hand down her flat stomach before turning around and looking at Rebekah.

"If he means to break the curse, I can handle that. I always have."

And it was true. Every issue the Mikaelson family ever presented to Emmeline, she took care of it.

Rebekah frowned at Emmeline as she turned around and continued looking at herself in the mirror.

She dismissed the modiste before walking towards her friend.

She stood behind Emmeline and smiled at her through the mirror.

"You look gorgeous." She spoke. "Nik won't be able to keep his eyes off of you during the party."

Emma didn't know about that.

"Of course he will." She spoke letting out a breath. "He will be too busy staring at his brand new doppelgänger."

Rebekah took Emmeline's hand and spun her around.

"Emma, your magic started fading when you turned. Nik would never make you exert yourself for this spell. Especially when it might kill you.

But Nik does need to break his curse so he needs her. But he also needs you. We all do and we always will. Always and forever, remember?"

Emma wanted to agree with Rebekah. But this was the same Niklaus who was too busy stressing over the arrival of the doppelgänger that he had completely ignored her the past couple of days.

Emmeline and Rebekah heard the sound of horses with their vamp hearing.

Emmeline swallowed and walked over to the window.

They were in Rebekah's room on the third floor but they still had a good view of the courtyard.

Emmeline saw a carriage pull up.

Elijah was already standing outside waiting for the occupants to get out.

A man stepped out and soon after, he held out his hand for a brunette lady.

Katerina Petrova.

"Oh we are so dead." Sasha muttered to herself. She was standing by the door keeping a lookout as Elena knelt on the floor next Elijah's body which was slowly but surely coming back to life.

Elena held the stake that had rendered him dead in the first place in her hand.

Sasha knew that if Damon or Stefan walked in right now they would definitely kill the both of them.

Sasha ran her hand into her hair.

"Why did I let you talk me into this again?" She hissed.

Elena looked up at her with a focused look on her face.

She knew Sasha was nervous about all this but they needed to do it.

"Because we need to find a way to save you and Bonnie from having to risk your lives to save me."
