FAMILY

Elijah turned the odd key over in his hand again as he stared at it. Stefan and Rebekah had just left for Italy on their honeymoon but before he had left Stefan had handed Elijah this key but it was what he had said that piqued Elijah's interest.

"There has been enough secrecy. I trust that you will do the right thing with everything you find here"

The key was shaped to form a hollow heart at the top in gold but the bottom was a square shape. There weren't any teeth and it wasn't even an old-fashioned skeleton key. Elijah had never seen anything like it. Stefan had assured him it worked something in The Quarters. So the brothers had set about searching for the last three months.

At last Elijah had been holding the key the other night when it had pricked his finger. The key had turned a beautiful red and the color had become brighter as they walked in the right direction. Finally, they arrived at a dead end brick alley. As Elijah held the key with the three Mikaelson brother's blood in it out to examine a keyhole appeared in the brick wall. Once he inserted the key a vibrant red door appeared. The three brothers walked in and were surprised to find opulent surroundings.

As they entered they seemed to be in some sort of lobby. The floors were marble and there was a gold gilded podium before them. The receptionist was a very beautiful vampire. Her red hair was in curls and she wore a stylish but brief black cocktail dress.

"Good evening Mr. Salvatore," she greeted but halted as she looked up. "Oh good evening gentlemen and welcome to Liberation. Is this your first time?"

"Yes," Elijah answered now very intrigued.

"Well this club is vampires only. We have plenty of blood on tap as well as other libations. There are a few rules: firstly, absolutely no fighting will be tolerated. Your key will be liberated and you will be banned. Secondly handling of the entertainment is never permitted unless they allow it. Thirdly all tabs must be paid at the end of each evening. Fourthly you do not speak of the existence of Liberation outside of the club. Now if you would please register by placing your hand on this tablet. This feature will allow you to order drinks and will control your access throughout the club." She held out a tablet and Elijah hesitated as he stared at it. Finally, he settled his hand on the tablet and his handprint was scanned in. Klaus and Kol followed suit.

"Enjoy your evening gentlemen," the hostess smiled brightly at them.

As they walked down the short hall before them they noticed that the walls were glass with a waterfall system of what appeared to be blood on either side of them. There was lots of gold gilding as far as the fixtures and marble floors. It was very opulent and refined and yet playfully indulged the secret of its clientele. They were met with a packed room and their senses instantly told them the clientele were all vampires. The floors in here were a marble shot with veins of red. It had a very 1940s art deco style. There was a large dance floor in the center and then a platform around the exterior of the very large room where there were tables and booths. There was also a second story platform to allow more patron seating. The lighting seemed to be state of the art. There was a large chandelier of gold and crystal towards the seating end. However there also seemed to be spot and pot lights everywhere capable of making any color desired. The walls were a soft nude color with the gold gilded arch motifs so reminiscent of the 1940s.

At the opposite end of the club from the u-shaped seating area there was a stage with a long catwalk extending into part of the club. There was also seating around the catwalk. On the long wall opposite the entrance there is a large heart-shaped bar with an extremely high-polished blood red Lucite bar top and two poles on either side extending all the way up into the ceiling. There was a shimmery silver curtain that billowed all over the stage end of the club and likely obscured lighting equipment and such.
