[Old Lockwood Cellar]

(Elena Ethan and Alaric are in the hidden tunnels of the old Lockwood Cellar. She has a flashlight in her hand)

Elena: So the Lockwood's really have no idea that these tunnels are underneath their property?

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

Elena: Wait. What?

Damon: Elena

(She turns herself and Damon is behind her)

Damon: Boo!

Elena: God, Damon

(She hits him)

Damon: Scaredy-cat

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

Elena: So you really can't get in?

Damon: No. Seems even the ancient Lockwood's were anti-vampire

Elena: What do you mean ancient?

Damon: See for yourself. This is as far as I get to go)

(He stops. Elena Ethan and Alaric keep walking and stop in front of the wall. She looks at it with her flashlight)

Elena: What is all this?

Alaric: Well, as far as I can tell, it's a story. In simple archaeological terms, it's a really, really old story

(He shows her various drawings)

Alaric: That right there is a moon cycle. A man. A wolf. A werewolf

Damon: Yeah. It's the Lockwood diaries, Pictionary style

Elena: I don't understand. I thought the Lockwood's came here with the original founders in the 1860s

Ethan: Ah, maybe the Lockwood's did, but according to this wall, these werewolves have been here a lot longer than that

Elena: How long?

Damon: Long. Gets better. Show her, Ric

(Alaric shows her other drawing)

Alaric: Names, and they're not native. They're written in runic, a Viking script

Elena: Viking?

Alaric: This name here, when translated, it reads... Niklaus

Elena: Klaus

Ethan: And Elijah... And Rebekah

Flashback

(Rebekah is writing something on the wall with a knife Klaus is here)

Klaus: Rebekah let me have at it

Rebekah: Quiet, Niklaus. I have to have my concentration if I'm not to slice off a finger

Klaus: Father will not like you handling the blade

Rebekah: If I want to wield a blade, I shall wield a blade. Father need not know

Klaus: He will find out. He always does

Rebekah: That is because you always tell him

Klaus: I cannot help it. He frightens me

Rebekah: He frightens us all. That is why we stick together as one, always and forever. Right, traitor?

Klaus: Right

(She gives him the knife)

Rebekah: Here. You finish. I'm to help mother with the meal
