"Let's say Mikael fallowed Elena. Tried to grab her so he could use her as bait." Stefan comes in with Elena and Damon fallowed after.

"And you, what, vervained him?" Elena questions. "No we Vervained him. Guy's an original. We have to make it realistic" Damon replies.

"Okay, fine. We Vervained him, and in the process discovered that he had a dagger." Stefan goes on. "Which he planned to use on Rebekah. But instead-" Elena went on.

"We drove it through his heart." Stefan replies. "What happens when he asks to see Mikael's body?" Ashley steps in confused.

"Good point. You my brother have been compelled to do what Klaus says. So if the idea is to lure him back here and kill him. The last thing we need is you getting tongue- tied."

"Well don't look at me. I'm just in charge of getting him here." Stefan smirks. "Klaus is smart. If we tell him that Mikael's dead, he'll want proof."

"Then I shall be dead." Mikael appears mysteriously. "Great, it's you" Ashley sighs.

"What if he wants to see you in person?" Ashley questions the old man. "That means our plan is working" Mikael replies.

"Klaus will absolutely want to see my body. You lure him here, and I will Kill him." Mikael explains. "With what exactly? Those daggers won't work on him" Stefan speaks out confused.

"Oh, I am in possession of a stake. Fashioned from the wood of the ancient white oak tree. The one that left these ashes when it burned." Mikael explains preparing the dagger.

"Where is it?" Damon asks. "Not here" Mikael's replies as Damon rolls his eyes.

"Knowing its location is my insurance policy." Mikael adds as he dips the daggers into something. "Against what?"

"You leaving this is my heart. You see, a vampire can't dagger an Original without dying. So it falls to you." Mikael says as he leads out the dagger to Elena

"You want me to actually dagger you?" Elena confused asks while her voice shakes. "Klaus will leave nothing to chance. Especially when it comes to trust. What my advice? Someone should distract him you or her" Mikael speaks as he turns to look at Ashley.

"I do remember you" a voice appears behind Ashley making Ashley swallow before turning around. "Mhm" Ashley says unbothered.

"You don't really look like you could be Tyler's sister or so twin sister I've heard" Klaus stared into her eyes making her stress out a little. "Oh, not blood related." Ashley explains while scratching her head.

"Oh, you say so." Klaus mumbles. "Have you seen my brother any chance?" Ashley questions Klaus wondering where Tyler have gotten.

"No, why?" Klaus tilts his head a little at her question. "My mom would freak if she saw all these people here I am just wondering how we even know so many people" Ashley explained.

"Oh don't worry love. Your mother won't be a problem. I compelled her to go to church to pray for your friends" Klaus answers smiling at Ashley.

"Of course you did" Ashley crosses her arms giggling. "What are you even talking about?"

"I want you to look around. There's Bonnie. There's Elena and Matt... and there's Caroline." Klaus whispers into Ashley's ear.

"Actually Ashley I invited some friends of my own. That's my friend Mindy. I picked her up along the way in Kansas. Did you know there's an entire bloodline of werewolves in the heartland?" Klaus explains making Ashley stare at him by curiosity.

"There's Tony, from North Dakota, and let's not forget the Seattle contingent." Klaus went on and explained. "Hold on old man, are those people all hybrids?" Ashley questions as she looks around.

"And they also love a good party. They, like you were sired-" Klaus spoke but was cut of. "I am not sired to you" Ashley spits out annoyed.

"Oh, how come" klaus answers confused. "Or your brother who is sired to me. They also wish to serve their master. So if anyone should so much as make a move against me. They may feel obligated to retaliate" Klaus continues seconds later laughs of himself.

"Feel free to warn your friends love." Klaus smiles again. "We haven't planned anything so not much to tell really. Except your paranoia threats" Ashley replies faking a smile.

"You're feisty" Klaus laughs as he offers her a beer. "Where's your date?" He questions as she stares at him.

"Not here"

"Why actually is it that I hear you and Tyler and twins but not by blood, if you don't mind me asking" Klaus continues to question.

"I am adopted" Ashley sighs thinking about her past. "Oh, adopted"

"Yeah, I lived with my sister in foster care for years. We were separated one day, I triggered my curse by accident and ended up here in the woods. My father found me" Ashley explained shortly.

"That must suck" Klaus replied still smiling. "How old are you actually, you're lucky you turned really young." Ashley changed the subject.

"Oh Ashley you don't need to worry about that. Hush now" Klaus laughs. "Let's focus on you love"

"Focus on me? My life is boring. My favorite subject in school is History actually. I'd love to hear something" Ashley tries changing the subject again to distract him.

"You know I can't do that, one day it'll be used against me." Klaus replies. "You're like a Damon number two" Ashley jokes.

"Damon? You two seem rather close" Klaus says as he takes a sip from his beer. "Trust me on that one, never ew" Ashley laughs.

"You seems kinda nervous" Klaus walks closer to Ashley making her breathe louder. "I am not nervous I just don't really like you. You're kinda of an ass no offense"

"Oh, none taken" Klaus pretends to be offended. Klaus stops talking and turns around and vanishes.
