"While Elena feeds her growling stomach, let's go somewhere more private to discuss certain things" Nik said looking at his two siblings.
"Lead the way" Elijah said.
"Let me tell Elena really quick" Kol said then headed towards the kitchen.
"That girl has our baby brother wrapped around her finger" Nik said with a smirk.
"That she does, I'm starting to see our brother of old thanks to her" Elijah said thoughtfully as he watched Kol disappear into the kitchen.
"Hence why we all need to discuss the eldest Salvatore brother, before he provokes Kol into losing control" Nik said as Kol was walking back towards them.
"Alright let's go" Kol said.
The three Mikaelson brothers headed outside and got into Nik's SUV, Elena watched as they drove off. Rebekah was at the top of the stairs debating whether or not Elena was going to hate her for sleeping with Damon. Before she lost her nerve she headed down the stairs wanting to talk to her before Caroline arrived back at the house.
"Elena? Can I talk to you about what you heard this morning?" Rebekah asked hesitantly.
"It's ok, Damon has that way about him. he can be very charming" she said smiling at Rebekah.
"I felt I needed to say something to make sure there were no hard feelings or anything. You are right he is quite the charmer when he wants something" Rebekah said with a troubled expression.
"What's wrong?" Elena asked.
"Damon had asked me if you were really happy with my brother and when I told him yes, he said you know...I hope your impulsive psychotic brother realizes how lucky he is, she never looked at me the way she looks at him, come to think of it she never looked at Stefan like that either. Guess what I'm trying to say is she deserves to be happy so he better not screw it up" she said.
"Ok, so why are you troubled by what he said" Elena asked thinking there was more.
"Because that would mean Tyler lied to save his own skin and not caring about anyone else's who got caught in the middle" Rebekah said.
"And Caroline and I let him go...so stupid" Elena said.
"Any suggests on how we deal with Damon?" Klaus asked as they were headed down the driveway.
"I would suggest ripping his heart out" Elijah said casually.
"If I didn't have Elena to consider in all this I would gladly rip his heart out. But I do so what else can we do to him...short of compelling him" Kol said from the back seat.
"What are you thinking Niklaus?" Elijah asked.
"Compelling him...without him knowing...like what he planned to do to Elena along with any spells Freya has to make Damon Salvatore think he gave her up all on his own" Nik said with a smirk.
"How do you plan on compelling him without his knowledge of it?" Kol asked.
"With casual suggestions thrown into a normal conversation" Nik said smugly.
"And if it don't work?" Elijah asked.
"I can be very persuasive when I need to be, shall we go have a drink at the local pub before heading back home? he asked.
"Niklaus the only reason you suggested a drink is because Damon Salvatore is here, there is a chance once he see's the three of us and immediately leaves...where do you think he will go provided he has had enough alcohol to make poor judgements?" Elijah said casually then looked at his brother.
"Nik, Elijah is right. If he see's the three of us then he will know she only has Rebekah and Freya to protect her with possibly your baby vampire" Kol said.
"True, that is why Caroline, Elena and Rebekah will be meeting us...ah their they are" he said happily.
"Great plan Nik, want Elena and I to rub his nose in our being together and making things worse?" Kol said slightly annoyed.
"Niklaus...why weren't we informed of your plan of this?" Elijah asked clearly irritated at his brother.
"There is no plan and you won't be rubbing his nose in it, Kol...you and Elena will head out of town for a few days preferrably New Orleans" he said.
"Fine...New Orleans it is" Kol said not thrilled with the idea.
"I trust with the lovely Elena by your side I won't have to worry about any problems down there?" Nik asked looking at Kol.
"None unless Marcel creates one" Kol said as he got out of the SUV and headed towards his car.
"Wait...I'm not defending Damon but what if Tyler lied?" Elena asked.
"If that is the case then even more reason for your little road trip, While Kol and yourself are not here I'll find out if Damon played a part in the kidnapping and if not we will put word out to find Tyler Lockwood" NIk said.
"Ok, thank you" Elena said to Nik.
"Best run along love, it's a long trip" Nik said with a smile.
"Have a safe trip you two" Rebekah said.
"Hey let me know when you get there" Caroline said.
"We will, see you in a few days" Elena said, then turning to look at Kol as he approached them.
"We have a long drive ahead of us love" Kol said with a smile as he gave her a quick kiss before she got in the car. He shut the passenger door and headed towards the drivers side and got in.
"What was the purpose of this Nik?" Rebekah asked.
"I want Damon's undivided attention, and that wasn't possible with her so close..anymore questions before we head in?" he asked as strolled towards The Grille.
