"So, Elijah and you help bring him out and into the open, only for you to ditch them both," Damon said, putting his hand on his sister shoulder.

"Klaus is trying to do something I don't want him to do, better for me to stay away," Seraphina replied, looking at her brother.

"Maybe you shouldn't have brought him here."

"He would've came here anyway," She sneered, making him clench his jaw. "If I sped up the process, so what." She shrugged.

"He's going to kill Elena."

"Elena this, Elena that. You know, maybe I should kill Elena and make everyone —"

"Sera, Gentlemen. Why so glum?" Klaus questioned, Damon, turning his head to look at the original.

"Klaus, I presume," Damon seethed. Seraphina sighed, downing the beer quickly before turning to look at her husband.

"In the flesh," Klaus grinned. "Thanks for the loaner, mate," Klaus said to Alaric.

"Any reason you stopped by to say hi?" Damon questioned as Seraphina stood up from the barstool.

"I'm told you and your brother fancy my doppelgänger," Klaus said, making Damon's jaw clench. "Just thought I'd remind you to not do anything you'll regret," Klaus added with a smile.

"Ha," Damon replied mockingly, making Seraphina roll her eyes. "Thanks for the advice," Damon said. "I don't suppose I could talk you into a postponement by any chance, huh?"

"Damon," Seraphina groaned.

"You are kidding. He is kidding right?" Klaus asked Alaric.

"No, not really," Alaric said, making Seraphina stand in between Klaus and Damon.

"I mean, come one, what's one month in the whole grand scheme of things?" Damon questioned.

"Alright, Klaus, you look so handsome," She began, turning her body to face him, her hands on his chest.

"Let me be clear," Klaus began, pushing her out of the way slightly. "I have my vampire, I have my werewolf. I have everything I need, the ritual will happen tonight," Klaus stated. "So, if you want to live to see tomorrow -"

"Klaus," She growled.

"Don't screw it up," Klaus finished his threat, ignoring Seraphina. "See you two later, I'm sure." Klaus grabbed Seraphina's arms, using his vampire speed to leave the bar.

"So, care to tell me where you've been?" He questioned her as he shoved her against the alley wall.

"Is that how you treat your wife?" She questioned as she shoved him away, straightening her shirt.

"Where have you been?" He questioned, ignoring her glare.

"Around." She watched his reaction, smirking as she saw his jaw clenched. "Fine, mostly the west coast."
