"Why are we following Finn," Seraphina grumbled lightly as the two of them walked behind Finn. "We could be doing something so much more, fun." Klaus smirked at her comment, making her pout lightly as they finally caught up to Finn.
"Hello, Finn," Klaus greeted his brother.
"Hello, Niklaus," Finn said in annoyance. "I have nothing to say to you." He continued walking, making Klaus and Seraphina follow.
"Well, I'm not here to chat. I will ask you one time, where's our mother?" Klaus questioned.
"Gone to find another way to end our abominable lives," Finn informed. "And when she does, I will sacrifice myself all over again." Seraphina rolled her eyes at his dramatic self.
"Well, how fortunate that I found you," Klaus said. "I require your assistance."
"I have no wish to help you. Only to see you dead," Finn spat.
"Well, that's the thing. You see, you won't be able to see me dead because if I die, then you die. So it's a wish unfulfilled," Klaus explained to Finn.
"Oh, bother someone else with your hollow charms, Niklaus," Finn sneered.
"Why?" He questioned. "When I can bother my big brother? I need you to accompany me back to Mystic Falls. I have a witch there who can help undo Esther's spell that linked us together."
"I have no wish to be unlinked!" Finn yelled.
"Again with the wishes," Klaus sighed, placing his hand on Finn's chest to stop him. "Let me rephrase -- you will come back with me or I will put you back in that coffin in which you rotted for 900 years."
"What happens to one happens to all," Finn reminded. "You may not feel the effects of the dagger, but you'd lose your precious Rebekah."
"Wouldn't be the first time," Klaus brushed off. Finn walked away, looking back at Klaus and Seraphina before using his vampire speed to lose them, only being stopped by Rebekah.
"Let's not make this any worse than it has to be, darling brother," Rebekah spoke.
"You're siding with him?" Finn questioned in disbelief. "Rebekah, he stored us in boxes," He reminded.
"At least he's not trying to make us extinct," Rebekah countered as Klaus and Seraphina came to the alley they were in, making Finn turn around to face Klaus.
"What are you going to do? Kill me?" Finn questioned.
"Oh, yeah, that's right, you've got a death wish," Klaus commented. "Fine. Pathetic, but fine. The thing is, I'm not going to have you take the rest of us down with you," Klaus said, making Rebekah pull Seraphina to her side as Klaus pushed Finn against the brick wall, then to the other one across from it.
--
"Gather your witch, let's get his blood and get on with it," Rebekah said as Klaus pushed Finn into the mansion.
"You can't force me to help you," Finn reminded.
"Oh, I most likely could," Klaus said. "But why force when I can persuade?" Klaus questioned, gesturing how his hand to the stairs were Sage appeared.
"Hello, Finn," She spoke.
"Sage," He gasped, getting up to greet her at the bottom of the steps, where the two shared a hug.
"What do you know, true love prevails," Rebekah sighed.
"It does occasionally have its uses," Klaus mumbled as he checked his phone, sending Kol a message back. "Easier than torturing him."
"I have something to do, what do you need from me for this spell?" Rebekah questioned.
"Just your blood and your blessing. Where are you going?" Klaus questioned.
"I have some unfinished business with Damon Salvatore," She grumbled. "Ask Sage what he did to me and you'll understand why retribution is in order, sorry Sera," Rebekah said before walking away.
"Well, your brother upset her," Klaus said, making Seraphina shake her head.
"Of course he did. "
--
"Well, look what you caught," Klaus said as he reached for Seraphina's wrist, failing. She rushed to Damon's side, looking at Rebekah through narrowed eyes. "If you're trying to bleed him of vervain, don't you think it would be easier to hand him upside down?"
"I'm perfectly capable of inflicting pain, thank you very much," Rebekah spat, looking at Seraphina.
"What did you do?" She questioned, her voice raised as she looked over her brother. "What did he do?"
"Oh, well, excuse me. It's not like I have any expertise in the matter," Klaus smirked, walking closer so he could grab Seraphina.
"You know, why don't you just leave me be and go and manage your witch?" Rebekah suggested to him.
"Phina."
"C'mon, darling." Klaus grabbed Seraphina, making her pull against him for a minute. "Seraphina," Klaus said in a dark voice, making her bow her head, stepping off the tarp that laid on the ground. He gave his sister a nod, pulling her through the house.
"Tick tick, I should hear chanting by now," Klaus mentioned as he and Seraphina walked into a back room where Bonnie Bennett sat.
"I'm still studying the unlinking spell," She said.
"Klaus, please be patient," Seraphina pleaded.
"It's not that easy, especially under duress," Bonnie added.
"You've been warned," Klaus reminded. "If you're looking for a way to send for help, I will kill anyone who comes to your rescue," Klaus threatened.
"This is the spell. I just don't know if I'm strong enough," Bonnie mumbled.
"Then you should have a little more faith in yourself, Bonnie. Your energy helped my mother link us. Honestly, I think someone isn't trying very hard," Klaus said, making Bonnie give him a look. "Very well." Klaus breathed, getting out his phone.
"Kol," Klaus greeted. "How's the weather up there in the Mile-High city?" Klaus questioned over the phone. "And how's our friend? That's him," Klaus said, walking closer to Bonnie, showing her his phone. "There's Jeremy, playing fetch with his new puppy. Isn't that just the most adorable thing you've ever seen?" Klaus questioned before pulling away from her. "Thank you, Kol. We'll be in touch," Klaus said, ending the phone call.
"So, Bonnie. How about the spell?"
--
"Oh, leaving so soon?" Rebekah questioned as Klaus and Seraphina walked Bonnie out.
"Sister," Klaus warned. "Be nice."
"Thank you, Bonnie," She said. "See you in physics class." She smiled before walking away, letting both Bonnie and Seraphina see what she had done to Damon.
"Damon," Seraphina whispered, stepping towards the door slightly, only for Klaus to grab her wrist, not wanting her to run to him again
"Oh my god," Bonnie gasped.
"Yeah, you'll have to excuse the mess. Apparently, Damon hurt her feelings," Klaus informed Bonnie.
"Bonnie," Damon called lightly. "Phina."
"Go on, help him," Klaus urged Bonnie. "Save the man who turned your mother into a vampire."
"Just get me out of here," Bonnie grunted.
"Very well."
