Alaric's Apartment
Alaric opened the door to his closet, looking for something to wear. What people didn't know was that Klaus was possessing Alaric's body. Alaric/Klaus searched the closet.

"Oh! Who is this guy, Safari Sam?" He picked out two shirts and showed them to Katherine, who sat in a chair unable to leave. "Ok, bad or badder?" He said putting the shirts in front of him.

"The dark colors suit you better." She said, scared for her life. Scared for Arabella.

"Oh, thank you, honey!" He put down the shirts in the bed. "Ok, pop quiz. The dagger and the white ash are in the Salvatores' possession, correct?" He said putting on a dark shirt.

"The dagger was used to kill Elijah. You'll find him in the basement of the Salvatore house." Katherine says.

"Ok, that dagger needs to stay exactly where it is. The last thing I need to do is resurrect Elijah. Oh, that guy is a buzzkill." Alaric/Klaus said with his head to the side.

"Don't forget you're on the outs with your girlfriend Jenna." Katherine popped in.

"Right. Elena's aunt. For all the lies about Isobel. What else?" He asked.

"That's it." Katherine said moving her head to the side, not mentioning Arabella. Alaric/Klaus moves in front of her and touches the side of her face. She gasps, startled.

"Oh, so jumpy."

"Please, just... kill me. I've told you everything that I know."

Alaric/Klaus leans in front of her. "See, I believe that you believe that. But what would you not know? What could they be keeping from you? Hmm? Anything?" She looks him in the eye. "Tell me." He compels.

"They were trying to see if Bonnie could find a way to kill an Original without a dagger." Katherine responda with, compelled.

"Bonnie, the best friend?" He asks her which she nods to. He sighs and gets back up. "I thought you said she didn't have her powers anymore?"

"She doesn't. Or didn't. I don't know. You kidnapped me, remember? I'm kinda out of the loop." She says staring coldly at him.

He looks to the side, not even fazed. "Well, we'll have to get to the bottom of that."

"Please, just kill me, Klaus, and be done with it." She says with nervousness in her face.

"And show you kindness? I've searched for you for over 500 years. Your death is going to last at least half that long."

He goes up to her. "What else are you not telling me?" Katherine remains quiet, because if he was going to find out about Arabella, he was gonna have to compel her.

He looks at her and grabs her head, trying to force her to look at him. She put her head up refusing to look at him but he was much stronger than her. He compelled her, "What do you know that your not telling me?"

"Arabella is back in town." She said. He let's go of her as she looks disappointed in herself. His face shows one of sadness and longing. He's been looking for her ever since she ran away from him in the 20's. He looks away and thinks about all his memories with her. Smiling to himself, he looks back at Katherine.
