OLD LOCKWOOD CELLAR

Elena, Annabelle, and Alaric walks though the tunnel into the cellar

Elena: So, the Lockwoods really have no idea that these tunnels are underneath their property?

Alaric: Careful where you shine that thing. Bats hate the light.

Elena and Annabelle: Wait, what?

Damon comes up behind them and whispers

Damon: Elena! Anna!

The twins turns around and sees him.

Damon: Boo!

Annabelle jumps and squeals in fright

Annabelle: Damon!

Damon: Scaredy cat

Alaric: Just ignore him. That's what I do.

Elena: So, you really can't get in?

Damon: No. Seems even the ancient Lockwoods were anti-vampire.

Elena: What do you mean, ancient?

Damon: See for yourself.

They walk further into the tunnels, to the cave with drawings on the walls.

Damon: Well, this is as far as I get to go.

Elena and Annabelle enters the chamber and Elena shines her flashlight on the walls with the drawings.

Annabelle: What is this anyway?

Alaric: Well, as far as I can tell, it's a story. In simple, archaeological terms, it's a really, really old story. [points at the wall] That right there, is the moon cycle. [points at another drawing] A man, a wolf.

Elena: [staring at the drawings] A werewolf.

Damon: Yeah, it's the "Lockwood Diaries: Pictionary-Style."

Elena: I don't understand. I thought the Lockwoods came here with the Original Founders in the 1860s.

Alaric: I don't know. Maybe the Lockwoods did, but according to this wall, these werewolves have been here a lot longer than that.

Elena: How long?

Damon: Long. It gets better. Show her, Ric.

Alaric: Names. They're not native. They're written in Runic, a Viking script.

Elena and Annabelle: Vikings?

Alaric: This name here, I translated it and it reads Niklaus.

Elena and Annabelle: Klaus.

Damon: Really creepy when you two speak at the same time.

Alaric: And Elijah...and Rebekah.

Annabelle: These are the names of the Original Family?

Alaric: Carved into a cave that's been here since way before the founding of Mystic Falls. Or even the entire New World, for that matter.

Elena: Okay, this has gotta be one of Klaus' fakes.

Damon: That's what I said.

Alaric: That could be true, except the last name up here made us think otherwise.

Elena: What's the name?

Alaric: Mikael.

Annabelle: Mikael...Mikael, as in, the vampire hunter who knows how to kill Klaus?

Damon: Yep. I now like to call him "Papa Original".
