I lay down on the couch waiting for him to return. Klaus and Davina went off to search for Hayley and Elijah. Hope is in the house somewhere, probably playing with her toys. Sanguinem Hominis, blood of man. My blood. Klaus filled us in as best as he could but there are still questions in the back of my mind. The mahogony door opens and I sit up expecting Klaus. Freya and Vincent walk through the door arms full of grimouires. I sit back and sigh.
"Expecting someone else?" Vincent asks.
"Klaus actually, he and Davina have been out for ages."
"Did I hear the right?" Freya smirks. "My brother and Davina Claire, together!" Vincent chuckles.
"So did you guys find anything?" Freya pauses and looks at Vincent, unsure of what to tell me. "Relax I knpw all about this Blood Of Man thing." Freya squints her eyes up and covers them woth her hands.
"What exactly did my brother tell you?"
"That Elijah and him disrupted a sacrifice and killed their leader. Now the clan wants revenge." Freya sighs and shakes her head. "Why...what is it? What did Klaus not tell me?" My breathing becomes hitched waiting for Freya's answer.
"It's not my place to say."
"Dammit Freya yes it is. It's my life. So tell me." She opens her mouth to speak just as the door opens once more. Klaus walks in followed by Davina, Elijah and Hayley. I round on him. "What are you not telling me Klaus? What detail have you conveniantly missed out?" He pauses by the door looking from Freya to me. I fold my arms over my chest. He sighs.
"The leader we killed may not be as deceased as we originally thought." I widen my eyes. He avoids eye contact.
"And this is worse than we thought how?"
"Well you see we did kill him. Only at the time he was a werewolf." His breathe shakes. "A werewolf with vampire blood in his system. When we killed him he came back to life...as a hybrid."
"That's impossible, they would've needed Doppelgänger blood."
"Katerina Petrova is his sister."
"But Katherine was on the run in the 1500's?" He nods.
"On the run from me. I saw her at the ritual and an opportunity to break my curse arised. I had not countered it in that her blood would be in the werewolfs." I lean back.
"You wouldn't have known he was a werewolf anyway. It was a vamire ritual." I pause. "Why was he there anyway?"
"I don't think he realised he was a werewolf as he had not triggered his curse. We believe that during the ritual he was going to kill himself and rise as a vampire. It was tradition in their clan to drink the blood of family members. Thats where Katerina came in."
"Wow. Thats...definately something." I close my eyes. "Wait." And open them again. "Why was he their leader if he wasn't even a vampire?"
"That's what we are trying to figure out. What was so important about one person that they would be still seeking revenge half a century later?"
"I don't know." Elijah moves into the light.
"Perhaps brother, there is someone we could ask?"
"If you are referring to Katerina, you need not I have already tried."
"Well she is not exactly going to respond to any of our calls." Klaus turns to face his brother.
"Who do you suggest calls her?"
"I know of a certain vampire family that has certain ties to her."
"The Salvatores."
