Fire & Flame | Klaus Mikaelson

04. The Five

Matt stood at the bar in Mystic Grill, cleaning a glass when Rebekah walked over to him and placed a pair of keys on the bar infront of him.

"What's that?" an annoyed Matt asked, really not wanting to deal with Rebekah right now.

"The key to your new truck" Rebekah revealed, "It's parked outside, paid for, insured, everything but a big red bow".

"If that's your idea of an apology, you should probably give it to Elena" Matt said, "She's the one you killed".

Once Matt had walked away from Rebekah, Lily walked over to her, "Out of all the people in this town, you go for him, really?".

"Don't start with me, Lily" Rebekah warned.

Lily sighed, "You're trying way too hard for someone who doesn't deserve it Rebekah".

"Lily's right", Rebekah and Lily looked to the end of the bar where Klaus sat, a drink in his hand.

"Last I heard you were leaving town, forever" Rebekah taunted her brother.

Klaus stood up from his seat and walked over to his sister, a taunting smirk on his face, "Well, I was, but then I thought to myself, how can I when my sister clearly so desperate for love and affection, is left here, bribing the help".

"You're being mean" Lily warned Klaus, standing between the two siblings, not trusting them to not attack each other.

"What do you want, Nik?" Rebekah asked, "Thought I was dead to you".

"Things change, Rebekah" Klaus said, "I've stumbled upon something that I think might be of interest to you".

"Doubt that" Rebekah said, refusing to believe her brother had anything that could interest her.

"No?" Klaus asked, "Well, what if I told you the brotherhood of the five still existed?".

"What?" a shocked Rebekah asked.

"You see?" Klaus said, "And like that, bygones, come on, love, work to do".

"We don't have anything to do, there is no we" Rebekah stated, "I don't care about the five and I don't care about you".

Klaus started at his sister for a moment, "As you wish" he finally said, "Let's go little luna".

Klaus laced his fingers with Lily's and took her away while Rebekah watched on, really hoping her brother was wrong about the brotherhood of the five being back.

Klaus and Lily entered the torture room in the Mikaelson mansion where Klaus was keeping Connor after rescuing him from the hospital room.

"Looks like I'll have to beef up the hybrid security detail" Klaus said, entering the room and seeing Stefan standing in the shadows.

"I was gonna take him but I figured you went through such trouble to truss him up in your red room of pain for a reason" Stefan said, walking over to Klaus while Lily stood near the doorway.
