"Bonnie said this place lost its mojo" Damon mumbles to Elena. "The dead witches were angry for bringing Jeremy back. Now they have something they want her to know." Elena continues.

"Reason one to hate witches" Ashley jumps in, Elena chuckles. "So fickle, and passive- aggressive" Damon says  getting irritated by the word witches.

"Stefan?" Elena tries yelling as she opens the cracky door. "Come on, Stef. Olly olly oxen free" Damon walks in small steps until he's screaming in pain.

"Really? Still?" Damon says annoyed while hiding in the corner. "What?"

"Witches not so big fan, and they used their juju to screw with my daylight ring." Damon speaks louder. "You can just wait outside" Elena softly says.

"Elena-"

"I am not leaving until i know if he's here" Elena raises her voice before walking away wondering inside of the house.

"Damon! Damon! Psst" Ashley whispers loudly speeding after Damon out of the house catching his attention. "What"

"You won't believe yesterday-" Ashley went on. "Oh yeah I think I would, almost killed a hybrid original freak" Damon explained.

"Yeah but, while I was distracting him right. He was talking about some werewolves pack or something. There might be a chance my family is still out there" Ashley explains.

"And you're talking to me about this because?" Damon confused replies. "Because I trust you."

"Okay, yeah I mean he's old and part werewolf so he must know something. Oh I know what if you're related" Damon jokes making Ashley sigh.

"Not funny"

"What else did you talk about with the freak hybrid?" Damon changed the subject. "Oh... not much. Just him talking nonsense as always, his paranoia" Ashley explained.

"That's perfect actually" Damon pauses for a second before he smirks. "What are you even talking about about"

"Me and Stefan are going over to Klaus and Elijah for dinner , you're coming with us" Damon explained making Ashley laugh.

"You're funny"

"I am seriously, I am serious that guy probably have a crush on you. It'll make things easier"

"Niklaus. Our guests have arrived" Elijah opens the door greeting them with a smile. "Behave please" Damon whispers to Ashley before stepping inside.

"Welcome in, Ashley" Elijah steps beside letting Ashley come inside. "Damon. Stefan. Elijah tells me you seek an audience. Very bold" Klaus steps in.

"Ashley" Klaus softens a little before knocking it off. "Let's discuss the terms of our agreement like civilized men. Shall we?" Klaus offers hinting to take a seat.

"I didn't come here to eat, Klaus. In fact none of us came to eat." Ashley replies before pulling out a chair. "Wait let me help." Klaus speeds and pulls out the chair, Ashley rolls her eyes.

"I didn't want to come here at all, but I was told I had to because you would hear us out." Stefan joins. "Well, we can sit and eat or I can reach down your throats and pull out your insides" Klaus smirks as he takes a seat beside Ashley.

"Thank you love" Damon smirk to one of the serves who served him red wine. "You lost your appetite love?" Klaus smiles to Ashley who were just staring into the food.

"Eat. I thought we agreed that we would leave the grumpy Ashley at home." Damon gives her that look , Ashley rolls her eyes and takes a bite.

"That's the spirit. Isn't this nice?" Klaus continues to talk as he slides his hand into Ashley's thigh. Ashley's feels shivers in her body of the feeling, but brushes his hand of her.

"The five of us dining together. Such a treat. Is this what you had in mind when you pulled the dagger out?" Klaus says to Damon.

"Well, I know how he felt about you, so I figured the more, the merrier." Damon smirks. "Elijah and I have had quarrels, but we always make it through." Klaus answer.

"Kind of like you and Rebekah, right? Where is she by the way?" Ashley spits out. "What do you mean love" Klaus pretends to not know anything.

"Well I know Elena gave you Rebekah and she isn't awake yet" Ashley explains making Klaus chuckle. "He is still afraid of his own sister so yes she is still daggered" Stefan smiles.

"If you're referring to the fact that Rebekah knows I killed our mother, I've already come clean to Elijah." Klaus clears as Elijah looks over at Klaus.

"Hey, Stef, remember when you killed Dad? Dial down the judgement till dessert." Damon jokes. "We're here to make a deal. Damon. Doesn't mean we need to kiss his ass"

"I'm just saying, we have a long evening ahead of us, pace yourself." Damon replies.

"Stefan, where is lovely Elena tonight?" Klaus changes the subject making Ashley giggle. "I don't know. Ask Damon" Stefan answered.

"Trouble in paradise" Ashley whispered to Elijah who looked confused while the others continued to speak. "Do you say so"

"One more word about Elena, and this dinner is over." Stefan smiles over at Klaus. "You know what? Probably best just to keep Elena in the do-not-discuss pile" Damon continues.

"It's just the allure of the Petrova doppelgänger is still so strong. What do you say, brother? Shall we tell them about Tatia?" Klaus explains as he looks over at his older brother.

"Now, why should we discuss matters long since resolved?" Elijah smiles without looking up at his brother. "Given their shared affection for both Elena and Katerina. Our guest might be curious to learn about the origin of the Petrova line." Klaus explains.

"We're not going anywhere, Elijah. Please do tell" Ashley innocently blinks at Elijah making him chuckle.

"When our family first settled here, there was a girl named Tatia. She was an exquisite beauty, Every boy of age desired to be her suitor."

"Even though she'd had a child by another man. None loved her more than Niklaus." Elijah explains, Klaus looks over at Ashley but she doesn't look over at him.

"Oh, I'd say there was one who loved her at least as much." Klaus turns his head back at Elijah.

"Wait a minute. So you both loved the same girl?" Stefan questions with a forced chuckle. "Our mother was a very powerful witch. She sought to end our feud over Tatia and so she took her. Klaus and I would learn it was Tatia's blood we consumed. On the night where our mother performed a spell, which turned us into vampires."
