"What the fuck?" She said, looking at him with wide eyes. 

"What?" He asked, confused. 

"Nothing... Who the hell are you?" She asked, trying to play it cool, only to realize that wasn't her voice. 

"Give us a moment, please." Elijah said to the witches before walking back inside the burial vault with Hayley, the room lit by numerous candles on the walls around them. 

"So, have they been holding you here against your will?" He asked her and she rolled her eyes. She guessed she had to start playing the part. She had caught a glimps of her face in a broken mirror. 

"They lured me out to the bayou and grabbed me. And they did all these... weird witchy tests. Not that I understand how this could happen. I mean, vampires are dead. They can't have children!" Hayley said, faking confusion and exasperation. 

"Perhaps if you knew my brother's story, it might explain how this is possible. Here, if I may." Elijah said, trying to lay his hand on Hayley's temple, but she recoils. 

"What are you doing?" She asked, confused. 

"Relax. If you open your mind to me, I can show you." Reluctantly Hayley allows Elijah to touch her head, and closes her eyes. "In the beginning, our family was human... A thousand years ago, now." 

(FLASHBACK)

Rebekah: Come, Henrik. Our brothers are fighting again.

Elijah: Although our mother dabbled in the dark arts, we were actually just a family trying to survive in a time when it was quite difficult to do so. And, for better or worse, we were happy.

(PRESENT DAY)

"That is, however, until one night, our youngest brother was killed by our village's greatest threat." 

(FLASHBACK)

Klaus: Mother!

(PRESENT DAY)

"Men that could transform themselves into wolves during the full moon. Our family was devastated, none more than Niklaus. Desperate to protect the rest of us, our father forced our mother to call upon her black magic in order to make us stronger." 

(FLASHBACK)

(Mikael, their father, holds the bleeding arm of a human in front of Rebekah.)

Mikael: Drink!

(Rebekah drinks the blood.)

(PRESENT DAY)

"Thus, the first vampires were born. But with this speed, this strength, this immortality, came a terrible hunger. No one felt this hunger more than Niklaus."

(FLASHBACK)

(Klaus attacks a human, feeds, and the person dies.)

"When he killed for the first time, we knew what he truly was." 

(Klaus turn into a wolf. He screams, his bones cracking. Mikael and Elijah come running.)

Elijah: Niklaus!

Klaus: What is happening to me?

(Elijah wants to run to his brother, but he can't as he is held back by his father.)

Mikael: Don't!

Klaus: Father! It hurts!

Mikael: He's a beast, an abomination.
