"Well, you know, the funny thing about witches is that living or dead, they care about their own."

"A hundred dead witches have a thousand living descendants," Klaus groaned in pain. "And I have no problem killing every last one of them if I don't get my coffins back!" Klaus threatened. "As we speak, my hybrid friend is prepared to end the Bennett line," Klaus informed, making the witches stop what they were doing.

"Now," Klaus whispered after he stepped closer to Damon. "Please show me the coffins," Klaus said, making the witches do what they were asked. Klaus walked around, his eyebrows furrowing at the pearl colored coffin. "Here we are." Klaus smiled, noticing only four instead of five, making his smile fade away. "Where's the fifth?" Klaus questioned Damon. Damon only looked back at Klaus, making the hybrid grow angry. "Show me!"

"Well, eh, here's the thing," Damon began. "They can't. It's not here," Damon informed.

"What did you do?" Klaus growled.

"Well, Bonnie gave me the heads up," Damon continued. "I mean, I didn't have enough time to get all five, but I did have time to get one."

"I will tear you limb from limb, and only then when you are a writhing mass of blood and flesh, will I rip your heart from your chest!"

"Sorry, same rules apply. What would Seraphina do it she knew you killed her favorite brother?" Damon questioned. "I know you want your family back, but something tells me you want what's in that coffin a lot more."

Klaus got the coffins into the sitting room in the house, examining each one thoroughly before stopping at the pearl colored one. He opened the coffin, seeing Seraphina lying there, her skin now a sickly gray and majority of her veins a darker gray. Klaus pulled a blood bag out of his jacket pocket, making Seraphina's eyes open suddenly. Klaus opened the blood bag, putting the open part to her mouth. A soft sigh of relief came from Seraphina as she began to feed.

"You've got your family back, finally," One of Klaus's hybrids spoke. "You going to open the rest of them?"

"Not quite yet," Klaus said, turning towards the hybrid. "I still have some unfinished business to take care of."

"What business?" The hybrid questioned before he yelled in pain, falling to the floor, revealing a very angry Elijah, the hybrid's heart in his hand.

"So, Niklaus,"

"Elijah."

"What did I miss?" Elijah questioned as Seraphina sat up, her color returning to normal.

"Stefan stuffing me in this damned box," She hissed, feeling the ropes rub her skin. Klaus looked at her, helping her out of the ropes and the coffin.

"You look surprised to see me," Elijah said as Seraphina straightened herself. One of the compelled humans came in the room, making Seraphina's eyes grow dark and launch herself at the woman, her face in her neck "I guess it wasn't you that removed the dagger from my chest," Elijah added as he wipes the hybrid's blood off his hands.

"You look like you could do with a drink, both of you. And we have a lot to discuss, so shall we?" Klaus questioned, looking at his wife. Seraphina finished in seconds, letting the red-head drop to the floor. She let out another sigh of relief as she turned to the brothers.

"You're quite a mess." Elijah chuckled, handing her the blood-stained handkerchief. She took it, wiping her mouth. She took a deep breath, squeezing the cloth in her hand.

"I'm going to find him, and kill him," She finally spoke. "I will literally rip him limb from limb, even if I die in the process." She began to make her way up the stairs, wanting to get rid of the skimpy dress she was wearing.

"Sera," Klaus began.

"You know, I can see why Elijah and Rebekah usually come out of the coffins angry." She stopped on the steps, looking at the Mikaelson brothers. "I'm going to make him suffer," She sneered, making her way up the steps fully.

Seraphina came back down the steps, hair curled and placed in a chignon, navy blue slacks, a white tank top, and a light tan colored blazer clung to her figure. Her heels alerted the brothers, making the two quit their fighting.

"I'm glad you two are done," She said as she walked closer to the two. "Now, explain to me this plan because I know you have one." She looked at Klaus, who nodded.

"I need you and Elijah to stand by my side, for him to be my brother and you to be my wife," Klaus explained. "Help me destroy Stefan and I promise you, our family will be whole again," Klaus finished, looking mostly at Elijah.

"Seraphina just can't go against her family -"

"They went against me years ago!" Seraphina cut Elijah off, making the brothers look at her. "Stefan, along with the help of Damon, locked me a box to suffer every time I woke from death. You guys have been more my family than they have. So of course I'm willing to at least torture Stefan."

"She's in." Klaus grinned.
