02//Tricking The Original

Eleanor

I watched as Stefan dialed Klaus's number as he stared down at Mikael's lifeless body. I still could believe that he went along with this plan of the Petrova doppelganger daggering the hunter.

"Portland is fantastic once you can get over all the whiney music and healthy-looking people. It's literally a breeding ground for werewolves." I hear the hybrid say through the phone.

"Your father's dead," Stefan says. It was silent through the other line before he spoke again.

"What did you say to me?"

"Oh, my mistake. Not your actual father, and not dead. Mikael. Daggered. What do you want me to do with the body?"

"Well, first, I want you to explain to me exactly what happened."

-One. Hour. Earlier-

"All right, we'll say that Mikael followed Elena in here. He tried to grab her so he could use her as bait." Stefan explains as we walk into the library/bar of the house.

"And you, what, vervained him?" Elena asks. I scoff. She obviously does not get what we are dealing with.

"No, we vervained him. The guy's an original. Make it realistic." I say, referring to Damon, Stefan, and I.

"Ok. Fine. We vervained him and in the process discovered that he had a dagger." Stefan says.

"Which he planned to use on Rebekah. But instead..." The doppelganger says.

"We drove it through his." I finish off the sentence.

"And what happens when he asks to see Mikael's body?" This girl does not believe that this plan wont work if she keeps asking all these questions.

"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 tripped up and tongue tied." Damon says and I nod my head.

"Its true. What if you spill the plan?" I say and they all look at me.

"Well don't look at me. I'm just in charge of getting him back here." Stefan says as everyone turns their heads towards them.

"Klaus is smart. If we tell him that Mikael's dead, he'll want proof." Elena points out.

"Then I shall be dead." Mikael says as he walks into the room with a jar of ashes and a cloth, hiding a dagger inside.

"What if he wants to see in person?" I swear, sometimes I just want to put a spell on this girl to make her shut up.

"Well, it means our plan is working. Klaus will absolutely want to see my body. You lure him here, and I will kill him."

"With what? Those daggers won't work on him." I say, walking over and taking the dagger from his grasp.

"Well, I'm in possession of a stake fashioned from the wood of the ancient white oak tree The one that left these ashes when it burned." He takes the dagger and dips it in the jar of ashes. We all look at him curiously before Damon speaks up.

"Where is it?" He asks.

"Not here. Knowing its location is my insurance policy." Insurance policy? I don't even want to know.

"Against what?" Stefan says, knowing what we were all thinking.

"You leaving this in my heart. You see, a vampire can't dagger an original without dying. So... it falls to you." He passes the dagger to Elena and she takes it with wide eyes.

"You want me to actually dagger you?" She says.

"Noo, he is just giving you the dagger so someone else can dagger him." Stefan glares my way at my sarcasm. "Of course he wants you to dagger him. What part of 'any vampire will die if daggering an original' do you not understand."

"Klaus will leave nothing to chance. Especially when it comes to trust." I nod my head.

--Back to one hour later--

"I want to see him. I want to see his rotting body for myself." This guy must really hate Mikael.

"Well he's here." Stefan stands up and looks at the body. "Come by whenever."

"If you're lying to me, Stefan, your compulsion will expose you. So answer with your life. Is what you're saying the truth?"

"It's true. I saw it with my own eyes."

"I want to talk to Rebekah."

"That's not a problem. She's right here." He hands the phone to the blonde one named Rebekah.

"Hello, Nik." She says, having the same accent as her brother and father.

"Rebekah, love. What's this I hear about Mikael's tragic run-in with a dagger?"

"It's true. He's finally out of our lives for good. I miss you. I'm miserable here." I could tell by the expression on her face that she was not serious about everything she said to him, besides the Mikael part.

"I'll be home soon."

"Good. I'll see you then, brother." She hangs up the phone, looks at the body, and then returns the phone to Stefan before walking out of the room. Stefan, Damon, and I all look towards Elena."Now was that easy or what?" Damon says.

"Let's just get this over with." Elena pulls the dagger from Mikael's heart before leaving the room, me following close behind. "Why were you so rude in there?" She asks, stopping and looking at me before the Salvatores walked in.

"What do you mean?" I say, sound as innocent as I can.

"The sarcasm. The rude comments. What was that all about?"

"Well maybe some of us don't want to screw up the plan and you being as indecisive as you are, is just ruining it."

"How?"

"Because!" I stop and breathe before speaking again. "Because...if this plan doesn't work, I'm going back into the coffin where I stuffed in for a century." I walk out of the hallway and towards the door before Damon sped up in front of me.

"What do you mean?" He saw the nervousness on my face. "Eleanor, who sent you here?"

"Katherine." The shock on his face and the others was proving to be that they knew something. "Katherine Pierce."
