Chapter 13: Bringing out the Dead

Serena was first to make a move, she walks up to Elijah and wraps her arms around him and he wraps his arms around her. "You're awake," she mutters he exhales and leans against her. "I am fine," he tells her and pulls away from her, he then took out a handkerchief and wipes the blood away from his hand and looks at Klaus. "You look surprised to see me. So it wasn't you or Serena that removed the dagger from my chest," he said as he walks to him. "You look like you can do with a drink. And we have a lot to discuss. So, shall we?" Klaus asks he offers to show the way. But Elijah vamps at him, sucker punching him. Then shoves him back, smashing through the double doors and Klaus rolls over and was on his hands and knees. "Easy. I just finish retentivity." Klaus informs him and vamps at him, but Serena flashes in between them and presses her hands at their chests.

"Stop! Both of you! As much as I want to see Klaus get his ass kick, now is not the time." she snaps, pushing them away from each other. "You know, you have every right to be mad at me. But I kept my word, I reunited you with our family." Klaus reminds him, Elijah growls at him, he then vamps at him but Serena shoves him back, "Elijah, calm down. Yes, what Klaus did was wrong, but do let your anger make you do something reckless." Serena tries to talk sense to him. "Get out of my way, Serena," Elijah growls at her as he vamps forward, but Serena presses herself against him, stopping him. "Elijah stop!" she tries again, but his anger got the best of him. He shoves her roughly to the side and she hits her head against a door frame, there was a loud smack and she crashes to the ground, her back facing them, not a sound or a twitch. She just laid there, the two look at her in horror. "Serena?" Elijah calls out, she didn't move let alone response. Klaus felt his whole body go numb as he saw her laying there. Elijah then lost all hatred for Klaus and walks over to her, kneel down and slowly touches her head, "Serena?" he calls out again.

Then rage pulses through Klaus, and he vamps at him, pulling Elijah away from her, presses him against a coffin, open's Kol's coffin, pulls out a knife and raise it up as he grips Elijah throat, "Klaus, I swear to you, I did not mean to hurt her." Elijah informs him, "I should kill you for what you've done to her!!!" Klaus growls at him, eyes pulsing with crimson and orbs were golden. "Then do it. I dare you, then you'll have Kol to deal with." Elijah informs him. Klaus then lowers the knife away from him, "Micheal is dead." Klaus informs him and lets go of Elijah. "What did you say?" he asks him as he stood up. "Serena killed him, with his own weapon. He's gone, Elijah forever." Klaus informs him. "Then why do our family remain these coffins? Finn for over 900 years. Kol for over a century." Elijah questions him. "Because of Stefan Salvatore. He's keeping the one thing from freeing them. There are things that you don't know about our past Elijah, our mother's death. Things I never wanted you to know, but I'm ready to tell you now." Klaus tells him, then turns away and to a small pot of white oak ash. "I just ask you remember the oath you once swore to me," Klaus asks of him.

Elijah watches as Klaus dips the tip of the dagger in the ash, "What are you doing?" Elijah questions as he walks back to the open coffin. Klaus then slowly thrust the dagger back into Kol's chest and Klaus looks back at Elijah, "Always and Forever." Klaus reminds him then walks to him, "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." Klaus asks of him then closes the coffin and walks past him, back to Serena and picks her up in his arms and Elijah turns to him. "And you should know what our mother has done to Serena. It's no longer fair to keep it from you," he said to him then turns and walks off, Klaus then looks down at her and press his cheek to her head.

In the Morning, Elena makes her way down the stairs and into the kitchen, finding Samathea sitting on the counter with her legs cross and was sipping coffee as Ric was looking through the cupboards. "Morning," Elena said to them, Samathea waves at her. "I thought we had aspirin?" Ric asks him and Samathea swallows her coffee and points to the shelf behind her, "Here." he answers and he walks over to her, then Elena spots the empty bottle of Bourbon with a glass next to it. "You're hungover," Elena said as she walks to the sink with a container of fresh water. "Yeah, sorry about that, a bit of a weird night," he tells her, Samathea giggles as she sips her coffee. Elena smiles at him, "Sammy and I have told you before, you don't have to feel guilty inviting Meredith over here." she reminds him, sipping her water. "I know, but I do feel guilty for whiskey dialing her 2 in the am," Ric informs her.
