Love & marriage

Red door

11th century Mystic falls

A celebration is underway in the Mikaelsons' village, where meat is being cooked over bonfires and villagers are dancing around together, wearing festive masks. Nearby, Elijah and Esther, in her original body, watch as Tatia, wearing a forest green dress and matching mask, dance around the fire. 

It was Samhain, when we danced and killed the best of our livestock to appease the gods for a new season.

Tatia lifts up her mask so she can smile at Elijah before Klaus grabs her by the arm and spins her around toward him. Diana is also dancing and has her eyes on Klaus. But Klaus has his eyes on Tatia. "That bitch." Diana mutters.

All women envied her. All men wanted her. But, she only had eyes for one.

Klaus kisses Tatia passionately, while Elijah watches sadly from the sidelines. Klaus and Tatia begin to dance, but Tatia stops when she sees that Elijah is no longer watching her. She looks over at Diana. "What happened?"

"Don't talk to me, you bitch." She says as she storms off. Meanwhile, Elijah walks over to a nearby pig pen, where he affectionately pets and feeds one of the pigs. After a moment, Tatia joins him. "Do not tell me you came to save Loki the pig from his fate?"

"No. I'm afraid Loki the pig's fate is to be food. Just as you are fated to love another."

"And you? Fated to watch from the shadows? The noble martyr? Fate does not dictate my heart, Elijah. I was fated to throw myself on a pyre after my husband died in battle, but I did not. I chose to live. And, I chose to give my heart once more. To someone strong, protective, fierce, and yet noble, and gentle. I choose you, Elijah."

Elijah smiles and leans forward to kiss her, but she just giggles and pulls away shyly. "And you choose to have our first kiss where your mother slaughters the pigs? Not very romantic--" Elijah gently grabs her head and pulls her close to him for a kiss, and they make out passionately for a few moments before he pulled away. 

"Perhaps we should set Loki the pig free? It seems one's fate can change, after all." Meanwhile, Klaus is following Diana. "Diana!"

"No! No! Don't talk to me!"

"Love, please..."

"Don't call me love when you're out there sucking face with someone else."

"She came onto me! It was one kiss, come on..."

"We're married now, and I could tell everyone all about how your love belongs to another woman."

"No! You wouldn't dare."

"So it's true?"

"It's not true, which is why you wouldn't dare saying such things..."

"Why are you so scared?"

"Why are you such a bitch?"

"I'm pregnant!" She blurts out in the heat of the moment. "Buh..." Klaus stutters, not knowing what to say. "Buh? That's all you have to say?"

"Uh...what?"

"Yes, I am...my sister confirmed it."

"Buh..."

Klaus is pacing around in the yard while he calls Elijah and leaves him a voicemail. "Elijah, where are you? Mikael is loose with the stake, and Cami is a hostage, and I am weaponless and in need of reinforcement. Urgently." He turns to Kaleb/Kol. "Wake her up. Tell her to get Mikael back here, now."
