breaking the bond [ elena , the mikaelson brothers ] ✔️

"Do you think it worked?"

"I can no longer track Kol," Sophie said as her hand fluttered over the map, "I'm assuming that one of his siblings daggered him."

Marcel smiled, "Perfect. It looks like the spell worked."

"Hopefully he staked Klaus before he went down. Otherwise this whole thing will have been worthless."

"The girl is back, too," Marcel interjected, "Diego said he saw her with a child. I don't think she ever had a miscarriage. If I can make it into the Compound, I might be able to take Kol's and Klaus' body without being noticed.

Sophie smiled, "Then what are you waiting for?"

"I can't take this anymore," Klaus stated as he downed his Bourbon in one swig, "There has to be a way to bring her back. Call that bloody witch of yours."

Elijah sighed, "I'm not calling Miss Deveraux. Now that she's become Regent among the witches, she has more of a motivation to hurt Elena."

"And how could she possibly hurt her, Elijah?" Klaus stood up and threw his glass against the wall, "She's dead! What more can be done to her?"

"Do not take that tone with me, Niklaus," Elijah warned as he stood up and straightened his suit jacket, "I love Elena more than anything else in this world. I will do anything to bring her back to us."

Elijah walked stiffly from the room, ignoring Klaus' voice calling behind him. He couldn't think clearly. The one thing he had loved in his thousand years of life lay dead in a coffin by his own brother's hand. He leaned against the wall in the hallway, trying to gather his thoughts as Elena's face flashed through his mind.

A knock sounded against the heavy Compound door and Elijah shook away his thought before whooshing to it. He opened the door slowly, revealing a grinning Marcel.

"Marcel. To what do I owe this pleasure?"

The younger vampire brushed past Elijah and walked inside, looking around, "I was wondering when you all would be back. Kol was left alone for a little while and I'm sure you had a mess to clean up when you returned."

"He killed Elena," Elijah confessed in a hushed whisper.

Marcel's arrogant attitude seemed to dissipate as he realized what he said, "What?"

"My mate is dead. Kol killed her to enact a vendetta against both Niklaus and myself," Elijah said bitterly, "He now lies daggered until I decide what I'd like to do to him."

"Klaus is still alive?"

Elijah looked at him questioningly, "Why wouldn't he be? Marcel, what aren't you telling me?" Before Marcel could reply, Elijah grabbed his face and stared into his eyes, "What aren't you telling me?"

Marcel responded in a robotic voice, "Sophie Deveraux and I have been plotting against your family. Sophie put a spell on Kol to kill the first vampire he came in contact with after Klaus left. It was supposed to be Klaus that returned first, not your girl. We were planning on taking New Orleans back once Klaus was killed."

"You did all of this just for a city?" Elijah's voice was on the verge of rage.

"Sophie thought of it first, she called me," Marcel defended himself, pushing Elijah away as he stumbled into the wall behind him, "If I knew that Elena was coming back first, I wouldn't have agreed to it."

Elijah squared his shoulders at the younger vampire's words, "Bring me Sophie Deveraux. Now."
