"All of our heads are on the chopping block because he lost the one thing that can kill an Original," Marcel snapped.
Morgana sighed. It was just so much fun trying to discuss their next move, especially when everyone was on edge.
"It's not his fault that Cami was waving the white oak around like a kite, or that Aurora made a deal with one of your witches," Freya interrupted.
"Oh, yeah, it is--"
"I am quite capable of defending myself, thank you, Freya," Klaus cut him off, standing in between them. "What I cannot do is cast a spell to find Aurora. In that respect, we're alike."
Morgana raised her eyebrows. Grendel grumbled from some corner of the room.
"Aurora is cloaked," Freya hissed. "Most likely by the very witch she killed. I have been working non-stop every day."
"Well, you've stopped working now, haven't you?"
Freya glared at him.
"Well go on. On your way."
"Do you talk to our other sister like this?" She asked.
He blanched.
"Didn't think so."
She stormed out of the room, ignoring Elijah calling after her.
"Nice one, Klaus," Morgana said, clapping.
"What do we know about this traitor in the Strix coven?" Elijah asked.
"Nothing," Marcel replied. "No one knows how Aurora got to her. No one knows where Aurora is. Our coven hit the same cloaking spell as Freya."
"Your coven?" Klaus said. "Making yourself quite comfortable with the Strix, aren't you?"
"Yeah, to help you."
Marcel went to leave, but Klaus grabbed his arm and spun him around.
"Any other news from your new BFFs you'd like to make us aware of?" Klaus asked.
Marcel glared at him. Elijah rolled his eyes as he went to leave the room.
"Niklaus, why don't we reserve any malevolent intentions for ex- girlfriends," he suggested.
Marcel yanked his arm away from Klaus and left. Klaus turned to Morgana, who held up her finger at him as Grendel walked around her feet.
"If you ask me about Aurora, so help me Klaus I will snap your neck with my bare hands," she warned.
He rolled his eyes. She smiled sardonically.

"A forest of pine, and a box made so fine," Klaus read. "Come quickly. If not, then poor Freya will rot, buried in dirt for all time."
How wonderful. Aurora kidnaps Freya and leaves a visually stunning piece of poetry behind.
Klaus slammed the note on the table. "The woman is insane."
"You're just now realizing this?" Morgana asked drily.
"Does she have to punish us with the world's most unfortunate limerick?" Elijah scoffed. "Is it not enough that we're forced to play her wretched games?"
"Freya and I saw visions of herself buried alive," Morgana reminded them.
"Aurora will do everything in her power to bring about this miserable prophecy," Elijah said.
