(The Mikaelson Compound)
Aria's POV.
The next day, I found out Elijah had daggered Klaus by sticking Papa Tunde's blade into his chest which is currently causing him unbearable pain. And right now me and Elijah are standing in Klaus' bedroom as he lays shirtless whilst gasping, and I turn to see Elijah who is clearly conflicted.
"This was all you." I Elijah tells him.
"Why did you call me? Have you found a way to help my uncle?" I hear Cami say, and she comes into Klaus' room.
"I can try, but first, I need your help." Elijah tells her, and she looks shocked at Klaus' unconscious body "My brother has a mystical torture device buried in his chest, and the mother of his child is inexplicably missing." He adds.
"What do you need me to do?" Cami asks him becoming serious.
"The dagger the witch gave you is inside of him?" I explain to her. I am really starting to regret this. Elijah then removes his jacket and rolls up his sleeve.
"And every second it remains causes Niklaus untold suffering." Elijah adds.
"Who stabbed him?" Cami asks us.
"I did, and now I intend to remove it. You might want to take a step back." Elijah tells us, and we both hesitantly take a step back.
"Why am I here?" Cami asks shocked and confused.
"Because of all the people that could be here, you're probably the only one he wouldn't immediately slaughter." Elijah explains as he uses a scalpel to slice into him along the red scar bisecting his chest, before jamming his fist into the open wound to grab the blade "Also, he speaks of you with what is a rare degree... For him, at least... Of respect. I can see you challenge him to see himself and others in a new light." He finishes as he finally pulls the knife out of Klaus' chest, and he groans.
"AGH!" Klaus screams in agony, but I place my hand over his mouth so the sound is muffled.
"A wonderful skill that I shall be counting on very shortly." Elijah tells her as I remove my hand from Klaus' mouth "You see, Niklaus will be weak as he recovers. So, watch over him and feed him, if you would. But slowly, please, and from your wrist." He asks her.
"Don't you guys have bags of blood in storage? Or Aria can do it." Cami asks, but I shake my head at her.
"We do, but your blood is laced with vervain unlike Aria's. So, it will burn him. He'll ingest it slower. Perhaps you could use the time constructively? Persuade him not to murder his baby sister." Elijah explains, and he turns to Klaus "Niklaus, it was not my desire to bring you pain, but I will not see you hurt Rebekah." He explains, then turns to back Cami "Now, I fear Sabine will be making a final move against us. I intend to find her and to end this with the accompany of Aria." He finishes, but Klaus starts to say something.
"Elijah. You will pay for this." Klaus whispers quietly.
"You have brought this upon yourself, Niklaus." Elijah tells him before holding out a hand towards me, and I take it as we leave.
(Skip to the Bayou)
After Elijah vamp speeds us to the Bayou, we see Hayley, Celeste and a growling wolf. they all suddenly turn around and acknowledge that we are here.
"Whatever she's promised you, it's a lie." Elijah tells Hayley.
"Elijah, Aria, it's okay. I'm okay." Hayley says to us, but I shake my head.
"She cannot be trusted." I argue with Hayley.
"She's the only one that can help my pack." Hayley tells us.
