Pick Your Poison ♠️ Klaus Mikaelson

30. Remember Italy.

Season 4 Episode 4: The Five

Lilith picked at her blood red nails as she glanced at Connor. The hunter was chained to a piece of wood and was looking at the brunette with a slight glare. Lilith chose to ignore him as she looked to the door, hearing footsteps. Klaus entered the room soon after. Klaus smiled at Lilith as he stood next to Connor.

"Looks like I'll have to beef up the hybrid security detail." Lilith smirked at Klaus' words as Stefan Salvatore walks out of the shadows.

"I was gonna take him, but I figured you went through such trouble to truss him up in your red room of pain." Stefan drawled as he looked at the hunter. Lilith chuckled quietly.

"It's from the Inquisition. I thought it was a nice touch." Lilith admitted as she walked over to the two men. The brunette just spent the past three hours "getting information" from Connor and she was relaxed. Torturing someone usually got that reaction out of her.

"What'd you get out of him?" Stefan asked.

"Not enough. He's mum about the Council fire and he's not saying anything about this greater evil we're all supposed to be shivering over. What brings you snooping?" Klaus said as Lilith opened her mouth to speak. She huffed a breathe and Klaus smiled.

"Well, I can't say it in front of him. As I'm sure you've figured out, our friend here can't be compelled." Stefan crossed his arms.

"You're full of mysteries, aren't you?" Klaus said to Connor.

"I told your wife, I don't know anything." Connor said, groaning in pain, and Lilith grinned.

"Thankfully, I know plenty." Klaus walks out of the room, Lilith following, and gestures for Stefan to come with him. "Shall we?" Stefan stares at Connor for a few more seconds and follow Klaus out. Klaus shuts the doors to Connor's prison room and turns to Stefan. "So, what's with the home invasion?" Klaus tilted his head.

"Damon said you knew something about this guy. Now, I should have figured out that you were up to something when you healed Elena from the werewolf poison without asking for anything in return."

"I was feeling benevolent." Stefan shot Klaus an "are you kidding me" look and Lilith chuckled.

"You're never benevolent. Who is this guy? What's the Five?" Stefan asked, quickly, and Lilith walked over to him.

"So many questions, dear Stefan, so many." Lilith said as she tapped his cheek with her nail.

"It's a good thing I have nothing to do today, except get answers out of you two." Stefan sits down and looks at the couple. Klaus and Lilith share a glance.

"Fine. You might actually be useful in persuading my sister to cooperate." Klaus walks away from the door and into the room. Lilith followed after him and quickly sat down, knowing this was gonna be a long talk. "The brotherhood of the Five was a group of highly skilled vampire hunters. We crossed paths with them in the 12th century Italy." Stefan's eyes widened minutely.

"My siblings, Lilith, and I had followed the Normans as they conquered the South. Feeding, turning people as we went."

Klaus and Elijah walk into the Town's Square. A man is on a stage with an audience surrounding him. There are several people tied up to wooden poles and staked through the chest on the stage. The man speaks to the crowd of people.
