Dragon's Keeper

Chapter 34

~Previously on Dragon's Keeper~

Klaus loses the book angrily and gets up. "Yes, well I have reason too, little wolf. If the werewolves are dead, then the vampires have less desire to kill you. I am trying to keep you safe because I love you and I don't want to lose you. Not that you appreciate the effort." Klaus says. "And as soon as I have this baby, what happens to me then Nik?" MayBeth says. They both stare at each other in awkward silence. "Right... Well, lucky for me I have a little while before I find out." Maybeth smirks bitterly. "And in the meantime I will find a way to pay you back for this. As long as I'm in this family, you can't do a damn thing about it Nik." Maybeth states and leaves.

Davina's New Bedroom

Davina is searching through a cardboard box. MayBeth finds her. "What are you looking for?" MayBeth says. "My violin. It must be left in the attic." Davina says. "So, just go get it." MayBeth says. "I can't. It's not safe for me out there." Davina says."Funny, I was under the impression everyone was afraid of you." MayBeth stated. "The witches are after me." Davina confesses. "You mean that crazy witch, Agnes? Yeah, she tried to kill me and my baby too. The thing is, she's dead. Lijah killed her." MayBeth says. "But... Agnes was the last living Elder. If she's dead, then I'm safe. Marcel would've told me." Davina says. "Maybe he didn't wanna lose his secret weapon against the witches?" MayBeth said. "You're lying." Davina shakes her head. "Why would I lie to you?" MayBeth questions. "Because you want something from me. Everyone does." Davina says plainly. "Do I want something from you...? Yeah, Davina, actually I do. Thanks to your friend Marcel, most of my long lost family is cursed. They're stuck in their wolf form, except on a full moon. Now, I'm smart enough to know that every curse has a loophole. And, well, you're the strongest witch I've ever heard of. But I wouldn't lie to you to get what I want. I'd ask you. I guess that's the difference between Marcel and me." MayBeth turns away and leaves Davina, who watches her leave. Josh walks in. "Looking for something?" Josh says. Davina smiles when she sees he brought Tim's violin. "I figured with you vacating, the attic would be a safe zone. Found this there." Josh continues. "It was dangerous for you to come back, Josh." Davina says. "Yeah, well... What are friends for? Or whatever." Josh states. Davina laughs gently. "Hey, what did Maybeth want?" Josh asked. "Do you trust her?" Davina asks. "I don't know. Why?" Josh says. "She told me about a witch being killed. An Elder, but I don't know if she..." Davina says. Josh interrupts her. "Yeah, crazy Agnes? I heard about that, that Elijah went all berserker on her crew. I guess it was super gross, just like heads and guts... bleh!" her says. Davina looks at him, concerned. "What? You hate the witches." Josh says confused. "MayBeth was right. Marcel is just using me. Josh, I can't stay here. I'm not gonna be their puppet, you have to get me out of here!" Davina says. "Okay. But where else are you gonna go?" Josh asks.

Mikaelson Mansion

Klaus is in the parlor, playing the piano all alone. Rebekah walks into the room, but doesn't notice Klaus right away. "I stink of the bog!" Rebekah states. "Serves you right, for your pathetic attempt to undermine my rule." Klaus says. Elijah joins them when he hears Klaus' voice. "Nik, listen." Rebekah says. "When I order werewolves to be hunted to extinction, I expect you to stand aside and let the blood flow." Klaus says pissed off. "How delightfully democratic of you." Elijah says and throws a ring to Klaus, who looks at it. "Do you recognize it? Perhaps you don't, it has been a thousand years since you last saw it grace the hand of our mother. The ring was in possession of one of the very wolves whose extinction you just ordered. So naturally, I questioned him. He spoke of a legend. A legend wherein long ago, a chief of theirs had fathered a child to a very powerful witch. Their mythology further states that this child, a son, was later transformed into something this clan had never before seen. Something werewolf and vampire." Elijah says. "Nik, we're trying to make amends. We found remnants of your family. The bloodline of your true father. And we saved them from being slaughtered at the hands of the vampires you command." Rebekah says. "Niklaus, your ambitions have come before this family for far too long. Niklaus, I beseech you please, come home." Elijah states. "What home? This pathetic substitute? You see, despite all your doubts, all you attempts to thwart me, I've reclaimed our true home. I took back the entire city." Klaus says. "You have the audacity to boast of your victory when the mother of your child remains your prisoner?" Elijah says. "It all comes down to my pretty little wolf, doesn't it, brother?" Klaus questions. "Stop it, both of you!" Rebekah states. Klaus stands up behind the piano. "Even if this is what you say it is, I have had enough of family to last me a lifetime. Why would I possibly want any more?" Klaus says and leaves Rebekah and Elijah alone in the house. Elijah looks sad, defeated.
