"Connor's gone." Claire says over the phone to Klaus who is currently in Italy digging up a sword that can translate the mark on Connor's arm.
"What? What do you mean gone?" Klaus growled. Claire closes her eyes as she envisions the scene she walked in on.
She had just put Madelyn to bed when she heard noises coming from the room where Connor was being held. She hesitated to walk in and when she did Connor was gone and there was a headless body on the ground.
"What happened, love?" He asked in a more gentle tone. He could feel her unease, her fear.
"He killed Nate" Claire told him. "The hybrid you sent to watch over him... Took his head." She whispers sitting down at the kitchen table. Henrik walks over to her and gives her some hot chocolate. She smiles at him. He returns it before sitting beside her, grabbing her hand.
"Are you alright?" He asks her.
"I'm fine" She reassures him. "Elijah and Finn are out looking for him. Kol has damn near every hybrid watching Madelyn. Henrik's with me, Kol's in the next room." She tells him.
"Please stay with one of my brothers until we get Connor back." Klaus pleads hoping she wouldn't argue with him on this.
"Ok" She nods. Henrik smiles and leans over kissing the side of her head. She moves her chair closer to him and lays her head on his shoulder.
"If he has the hybrids head-"
"Nate" Claire tells him. The hybrid was a person, someone who gave his loyalty to Klaus, albeit he didn't have a choice but still. "His name was Nate."
"If he has Nate's head then he has access to werewolf venom. My blood is the only thing that can heal werewolf venom." Claire sighs closing her eyes again. "I won't be back until tomorrow, you should warn Caroline to be careful."
"I will" Claire nods. "I love you."
"I love you more, be careful, I'll be home as soon as I can." Claire smiles. They said their goodbyes before hanging up. Kol enters the kitchen.
"There's no way Connor is going to be able to get to Madelyn." Kol assures her. He walks over and sits beside her. She looks at him, her head still laying on Henrik's shoulder.
"Any word from Elijah or Finn?" Henrik asked. Kol shakes his head reaching for Claire's hand. She gives it to him.
"I have to talk to Caroline" Claire said sitting up.
"I already did" Kol told her. Claire gives him a curious look. "What? You think Nik is the only smart one in the family?" Kol gives her a cheeky smile. "Hybrid head, werewolf venom, Nik's cure blood and baby vampire twin sister."
"Thank you" He nods giving her a quick kiss.
"Claire?" Caroline asks coming into the house. Claire stands up and walks to her sister, Henrik and Kol in tow. Claire ignores Tyler, who's standing beside Caroline.
