'My mind, my brain, my heart and my soul are filled, to the brim, with beautiful, yet confusing words, that never see the light of the day. I've always, only wanted to make people fall in love with my words. To inspire them. To change them. I am not sure if I'm capable enough to do that or if I will ever be.'

Hayley was in the office, in the house, a trunk wide open, with Elijah's things scattered around in it. She had a journal in her lap, reading Elijah's thoughts from August 1359.

'I have noticed a difference in my siblings. Our bond strains beneath the pressure of our lives as vampires. Each day removes them further from the humanity we once possessed. My sweet sister Rebekah has grown quite indifferent to brutality. My kind and compassionate brother Meiczyslaw, has withdrawn into himself. However, the true problem remains, my brother Niklaus. He continues to hide his loneliness with cruelty, with the help of Meiczyslaw. Still, I cling to the hope that I, as their eldest brother, can lead them down the correct path. A path charged with power of a family united. For if I fail, our family's legacy will end in darkness.'

As she went on reading through it, she heard Rebekah, arguing with Klaus.

"I cannot believe you disposed of those vampires without me. You know how I love to set things on fire." mentioning to the vampire-bonfire Klaus had set up in the front yard of the house.

"Was I supposed to leave them in the front yard to rot?" asked Klaus, slightly annoyed. "Besides, they were my responsibility. They attacked the helpless, pregnant girl who's carrying my child." with a hint of amusement lacing his voice.

"Oh, I am so moved by your new found sense of fatherly duty towards the werewolf carrying your hybrid bun in her oven."

Klaus laughs in amusement, as Hayley walks into the room, clutching Elijah's journal to her chest. "The werewolf would like to know what the plan is."

She looks at Klaus as he replies, "Well, that depends what plan you mean, love. My plan for global domination or Rebekah's plan to find love in a cruel, cruel world."

Rebekah chuckles sarcastically at the comment and turns towards the table beside her, picking up a pencil, threw it right at Klaus who managed to catch it in his hand, smirking at her.

"The plan to rescue Elijah." said Hayley, exasperated at the two siblings. "You know, the good brother, the one who is in the possession of your mortal enemy after you stabbed him in the back."

"In the front, if we're being specific." Klaus said, in amusement.

"You two said you would get him back. So is there a plan or what?"

Rebekah looks at Nik who sighs, "Okay." They all walk into the living room.

"Well, firstly, Marcel is not my mortal enemy." He sits down in a chair. "He's my friend, albeit one who is unaware that I am trying to sabotage his hold over the supernatural community of the French Quarter, but a friend nonetheless. And secondly, I daggered Elijah in order to gain Marcel's trust. If I had known he would place my brother in the hands of a particularly nasty teenage witch, I certainly would have weighed my options a bit differently. And thirdly, sister, please."

"And thirdly, the plan as you have demanded, is for Niklaus to simply ask Marcel for Elijah back."

Hayley looked at the two in confusion, "That's not the whole plan, is it?"
