Morgana took a deep breath, trying to focus on working out the spell and resisting the urge to snap at Klaus. The sound of his incessant pacing behind her and Freya was driving her up a wall.
"You're hovering," Freya sighed.
"I'm supervising," he corrected. "How else to speed up your endeavors? Let's see. Perhaps I should bring Vincent here? Force him to aid you two by removing his legs?"
"For God's sake, Klaus," Morgana snapped. "Vincent doesn't know how to kill Lucien either. And if he leaves the St. James God only knows what the Ancestors will make him do."
"The Ancestors are thoroughly occupied," Elijah assured them as he entered the study, "according to Davina, terrorizing our brother."
"What a surprise," Klaus replied. "Another day, another witch inspired vendetta."
"Well, Davina can take care of Kol for now. Let us focus our energies on Lucien. How do we demolish that rodent?"
"We're working on it," Freya replied.
"Yes, while all have our roles to play, Elijah can stay here and oversee whatever Freya and Morgana are doing," Klaus said. "I'm going to actually accomplish something."
He walked to the door. Elijah tried to stop him. "Brother, accomplishing something--"
"The time for talking is done!" Klaus cut him off and left.
Morgana sighed.
-----------------------------------------
Maybe it wouldn't be Klaus' incessant pacing that would make Morgana snap. Maybe it would be Elijah's instead.
"We are out of time," he said.
"A sigil is a complicated magical symbol weaponized and condensed to its most potent form, Elijah," Morgana snapped. "With the right elements combined in the right way we'll have a chance at stopping Lucien."
Grendel ran in the room, alarmed. Frantic knocking came from downstairs. Morgana was the first one out, followed by Freya and Elijah. Hayley was already at the entrance. Cami was standing outside.
"It's Klaus," she said. "Lucien has him."
Morgana's heart dropped and started pounding.
"Freya, invite her in," Hayley said.
"Yeah, come in, you're invited," Freya said, overwhelmed.
Cami stepped over the threshold, and they all gathered in the courtyard.
"Tell us what happened," Elijah said.
"Lucien ambushed him," Cami explained. "He knocked him around like it was nothing."
"Did he bite him?" Morgana asked, voice strained.
Cami shook her head. "No. I think wanted him alive. I followed them. Lucien took Klaus back to the penthouse."
A phone buzzed. Elijah pulled his out of his pocket. "Lucien is demanding my presence at the Whiskey Cask, alone and immediately. He says if I delay, Niklaus will die."
Morgana pinched the bridge of her nose and forced herself to breathe. Elijah turned to leave.
-----------------------------------------
At the sound of Lucien roaring in pain, Morgana smiled. She and Freya entered the room, standing next to Elijah.
"Oh dear," Morgana sighed. "That looks painful."
