Magic Within Us

Klaus Part II

Katherine is spinning on a swivel chair to amuse herself while music is playing.

Emma lay down on the couch staring up blankly at the ceiling.

"I need to kill him." She sat up and looked at Katherine. "Once and for all, he needs to die."

Katherine let out a sigh. She got up and sped to the kitchen. She started looking through the cupboard.

"I hate to say this, Em, but I think Klaus wins. Like usual."

She smiled to herself when she found a bottle of bourbon.

"Score."

Emma huffed.

Anger boiled within her. "He doesn't get to." She whispered to herself.

The two women shared a look when they heard voices out in the hall with their camp hearing.

"I don't think this is a good idea." A woman's voice.

"Investigative journalism....we're investigating."

Emma perked up when she heard Damon's voice.

Both Klaus and Maddox had left so it was just the two of them.

Katherine had been compelled not to leave and Emma was bound here by a boundary spell.

They heard a knock at the door.

"Alaric, are you home? Andie...Star, Jenna's friend." The lady spoke.

Katherine rushed to the door and tried to grab the doorknob but an invisible force prevented her hand from touching it. She tried again but only failed.

Emma walked up to her and sighed. "The compulsion."

The doorknob suddenly started twisting.

Emma and Katherine stepped back as it was forced open.

"Thank God." Katherine sighed.

A tall brunette lady walked in.

Her eyes widened at Katherine and Emma. "Wow! You were right. They look exactly like Elena and Alisha."

"Yep." Damon spoke.

He tried to enter but couldn't.

Emma folded her arms across her chest. "You haven't been invited in."

"No kidding Sherlock." He muttered.

He couldn't explain the relief he felt at seeing Emma but he kept his expression straight.

"Thought you might be dead." He commented.

"Unfortunately not." Katherine muttered. "What are you doing here?"

"Don't be rude, Kath." Emma spoke. "He's obviously here to rescue us.

"Yes, we are." The brunette lady spoke enthusiastically.

Damon held a hand out to her.

"No, sweetie. We are here to see if they deserve to be rescued." He corrected looking at both of them.

"Right." The woman corrected herself.

"Okay, whose your wind up toy?" Emma asked in confusion.

"Hey name's Andie. And she has feelings." Damon spoke.

"So do we." Emma rolled her eyes. "And I feel like I might gouge my eyes out if you don't get me out of here soon."

Damon gave her a fake frown.

"And that would be tragic." He turned to Katherine. "I figured you still might be kicking. Alaric-Klaus was blending way too easily. Figured he probably had some coaching."
