Part Two

.

.

"Family is power, Niklaus. Love, loyalty — that's power. This is what we swore to one another a thousand years ago, before life tore away what little humanity you had left, before ego, before anger, before paranoia created in this person before me someone I can barely even recognize as my own brother. This is us, the Original family, and we remain together, always and forever. "

— Elijah Mikaelson to Klaus Mikaelson

"Brother?"

Klaus looked up from his phone, having finished informing Rebekah & aria  what had truly happened at the Gilbert home, as Kol's mischievous voice entered the room, demanding attention like always, and he turned around to see his younger brother carrying an aluminium baseball bat over his shoulder. His eyes sparkled, a cruel smirk on his lips as he imagined punishing Damon Salvatore once again for crossing him. He had spent the last few hours waiting impatiently for his revenge on the Gilbert's and their friends, not only for what they had done to him, but he wanted them to pay for killing Finn and for almost destroying their family. He would never admit it, and he had resented his oldest brother a great deal, but he was still his brother and his death hadn't been avenged yet. His brother, despite his flaws, was still blood and that did mean something to Kol.

Even though they had lost their way, and didn't see eye to eye, their family had unspoken rules

The first, and the most important one was that nobody outside their family hurt them and if they did, their death was sure to be painful. It had always been that way, ever since his brothers had beaten up an older boy who liked to pick on Rebekah & ariana. He remembered Elijah telling Kol, who was only a year older than his sisters at the time, that family came above all and those who dared to break that bond suffered without mercy. Ever since then, Kol had always kept his part of the deal, in his own way. He fought with his family, he tortured Rebekah about what a love-sick fool she was, he mocked Klaus and disobeyed Elijah's rules and hated aria’s disappointed head shake, but there hadn't been a time where Kol hadn't gotten revenge on those who attempted to harm his family. He, as well as his siblings, had hurt one another more times than they could count, but despite their differences, they would never accept an outsider doing the same thing.

Klaus tilted his head, an annoyed look in his eyes as he replied to his brother."Is that what you've been doing for the last hour? Deciding which baseball bat you're going to use to swing at Damon Salvatore? I thought that you were contacting your witches?"

"I also took the time to look my best, Nik. Something you should think about. We may be slaughtering people tonight, but it looks bad on us if we do not brush up well. I can't tell you how long it took to get rid of the scent of vervain they sprayed me with."

Klaus opened his mouth to scold his brother, close to losing patience with Kol when he was interrupted by four middle-aged women entering the front room. They nodded politely at the hybrid and he noticed that they were carrying a map, and that Mystic Falls had been marked off. They also carried several other items that he had seen Bonnie use whenever she done a spell, as well as other witches he had encountered before. They turned their attention to Kol, eager smiles on their faces, but they looked like they had been working hard, coming off tired. He could also feel the power the witches held, much more than Bonnie had, and he couldn't stop himself from chuckling. His brother may be somewhat self centred and sadistic, but he wasn't stupid, Klaus knew how smart his brother was, especially when it came to getting what he wanted. He had a lot of respect for witches, and was close with a lot of powerful bloodlines, something that had come into good use for Klaus over the years.
