UNFORTUNATELY, AND mainly against my will, Stefan and I are on Klaus' doorstep. As much as I don't want to see Klaus, I have to be here to make sure that nothing happens to Stefan.
Klaus opens the door to his room. In the room, Connor is chained up to a piece of wood. The hybrid walks in and stands next to his hostage. To his surprise, Stefan and I walk out from the shadows.
"Looks like I'll have to beef up the hybrid security detail." Klaus says, noting our presence.
"I was going to take him, but I figured you went through such trouble to truss him up in your red room of pain." Stefan replies with sarcasm leaking through his words.
"It's from the Inquisition. I thought it was a nice touch," Klaus attempts to meet my gaze but I refuse. "I haven't gotten much out of him. He's mum about the council fire and he's not saying anything about this greater evil we're all supposed to be shivering over. What brings you two snooping?"
"Well, we can't say it in front of him. As I'm sure you've figured out, our friend here can't be compelled." The Salvatore says, motioning towards Klaus' hostage. After a little banter between the hunter and the hybrid, the hybrid leads us into a separate room.
Once we all get settled into another room, Klaus breaks the silence. "So, what's with the home invasion?"
"Damon said you knew something about this guy. Now, Hadiya pointed out that you wouldn't have given Elena your blood without asking for anything in return, and I agree. Why'd you do it?" Stefan speaks for the both of us, allowing me to remain silent.
"I was feeling benevolent." Klaus smirks.
I roll my eyes. "You don't have a benevolent bone in your body. Who is that guy? What's the five?"
"So many questions. Luckily for the two of you, it might be within your capabilities to persuade my sister to cooperate," Klaus walks away from the door and into the room. "The brotherhood of the Five was a group of highly skilled vampire hunters. We crossed paths with them in the 12th century, Italy. My siblings and I had followed the Normans as they conquered the South. Feeding, turning people as they went. But with bloodshed came exposure."
"So these hunters have been around for 900 years?" Stefan asks out of curiosity. I find myself in a state of surprise as Katerina and I had never ran into one throughout our 500 years of living.
"Apparently. Though our friend in the other room is the first I've seen since then. Kind of makes me wonder what they've been up to all these years." Klaus explains.
I look up at the hybrid, "And Rebekah had a thing with one of them?"
"Oh, she didn't just have a thing. She fell in love with him. He told her all his secrets. Which I will gladly share with you provided you do one thing for me."
