"YOU LOOK SURPRISED TO SEE ME." Elijah speaks, wiping the blood from his hands with a white handkerchief. "So it wasn't you that removed the dagger from my chest?"
Klaus smiled nervously. "You look like you could do with a drink. And we have a lot to discuss, so shall we?" Dropping the piece of white fabric, Elijah lunges at his brother, throwing Klaus through the double doors, glass flying from the impact.
"Easy. I just finished renovating." The hybrid growled
Klaus rushes at Elijah, grabbing him by the shoulders and sending him into a small table and breaking it in the process. "You know you have every right to be mad at me. But I kept my word, I reunited you with our family."
Violet jumps as Elijah attacks her soulmate again, and Klaus is knocked against a coffin. Of course, she desperately wanted to help but she knew better than to intervene. Klaus quickly opens one of the large wooden boxes, revealing another of their brothers. Violet mentally wondered what their mother looked like. All of the siblings so far had been blessed with good looks and she knew they didn't inherit that from their father.
The younger of the siblings rips the dagger from the temporarily dead vampire, pinning Elijah against another coffin and holding up the dagger threateningly.
"Don't make me do this to you again Elijah!" He yells, a pained look in his eyes. "Come on. Use it. I dare you." Elijah mutters, his voice shaky as he struggles against Klaus' grip. "You'll have Kol to deal with."
With a clenched jaw, Klaus lowers the dagger. "Mikael is dead."
Once free of his brothers grasp, Elijah stands and looks at his brother in surprise. "What did you say?"
"I killed him. With his own weapon. He's gone Elijah. Forever."
Elijah looks back at where Violet stood, silently asking for confirmation. The small blonde nods and gives him a small smile. "Why do our family remain in these coffins? Finn for over 900 years, Kol for over a century." The noble Original asks the hybrid with a scowl.
"Because of Stefan Salvatore." Klaus replies. "He holds the one thing keeping me from freeing them. There are things that you do not know about our past, Elijah. Our mother's death. Things I never wanted you to know but I'm ready to tell you now. I only ask that you remember the oath of loyalty you once swore to me."
The younger Original walks over to a small table, dipping the dagger into the urn full of white oak ash, and then making his way to the man in the coffin.
Elijah looks at his brother, confused and slightly infuriated. "What are you doing?"
Klaus sticks the dagger into its former position in his siblings chest. Turning back to Elijah he speaks quietly, "Always and forever. I need you to stand by my side. Be my brother. Help me destroy Stefan and I promise you our family will be whole again."
