|10.| WAKE ME UP

"Rebekah and Kol just landed." Klaus walks into a room where Cora stands with Freya and Viviana as they try to figure out a way to save Elijah.

"I just assured them we're mere moments from returning our brother to life. Don't make me a liar."

"I can't resurrect Elijah," Viviana states and gestures to Freya. "She wants to make sure his mind is whole."

"Well, you saved Finn with that very trinket." Klaus looks at his sister. "What's the problem?"

"When that pendant was shattered, Elijah's mind shattered with it. He's most likely retreated to the innermost of his consciousness," Freya explains and Cora crosses her arms.

"How do we find that?"

"I'm not sure. It could be anywhere in over a thousand years of memories, but if we try fixing the pendant before finding him and healing his mind; he'll be permanently fractured," Viviana explains to her daughter and son-in-law. "Like casting a broken bone before it's been properly set."

"Spare me the medical analogies and fix him," Klaus interrupts the woman and Freya tries to help explain the situation.

"I need to go inside and find him. Once I'm sure his mind is stable, then I can fix the pendant."

"Well, then stop talking and get in there," Klaus raises his voice and Cora sighs in frustration.

"Nik? Take a walk, get some air. Let her work. Please."

Cora sends him a glare which earns her a look from her husband as well. He wants this to work out perfectly so he can get his brother back, and Cora knows that this will be difficult to perfect.

The hybrid lets out a sigh indicating that he's giving into his wife's pleads and he nods before leaving the room.

"Please tell me that you can do this." Cora faces her mother and sister-in-law.

"He's my brother. I'm not gonna stop until he's safe," Freya says with determination and Viviana nods in agreement.

"I understand he means a great deal to you." Viviana looks to her daughter and slightly smiles. "It's the least I can do to try and make up for my mistakes."

The sounds of groans come from the living room of the penthouse where Victor feeds off a compelled woman who sits still while staring off at nothing. Sitting on a cushioned chair just a bit of ways is Taylor drinking the woman's blood, but from a glass instead from the vein. She pairs the thick liquid with whiskey and takes a sip, humming at the delectable mixture.

A muffled ding sounds from behind their front door, indicating that someone took the elevator up to their penthouse level. One of the doors open and Mary steps inside to see Victor pull away from the woman with blood dripping from the corner of his mouth.
