Pick Your Poison ♠️ Klaus Mikaelson

40. Silas' Return.

Season 4 Episode 17: Because The Night

Lilith pulled her hair into an incredibly tight high ponytail, not a hair out of place. The brunette looked into the mirror and smiled, feeling the spell warm her body, trying to do its task. Lilith knew it wasn't a guarantee, even with the spell, so she could only hope. Lilith turned her head when Klaus poked his head in.

"Hello, love." Klaus smiled at Lilith and leaned against the doorframe. Lilith smiled at him through the mirror and started to put on her signature red lipstick.

"Who were you on the phone with?" Lilith asked after she completed painting her lips the blood red color. The brunette tightened her ponytail once more before she turned away from the mirror.

"Stefan." Klaus groaned and rolled his dark stormy blue eyes.

"Of course it was the baby Salvatore." Klaus shared her exasperated look before Lilith continued speaking. "What'd he want?"

"Our help, surprisingly enough." Lilith raised a perfect eyebrow and crossed her arms.

"With what?" Klaus stepped forward and started to run his hands through Lilith's hair, making sure not to pull the ponytail loose. Lilith sighed softly and leaned back against his chest.

"Silas. Apparently Stefan believes he's in Mystic Falls."

"Are you serious?" Lilith growled, she really didn't want to deal with a, god knows how old, witch who was just woken from his slumber.

"Sadly, yes, love." Klaus sighed and twirled a piece of dark hair around his finger.

"Uh, fine, lets get this over with." Lilith slowly stepped away from Klaus, grabbed his hand, and pulled him out of the room. Klaus followed without hesitation, agreeing with his wife's frustration.

Klaus and Lilith entered the Salvatore Boarding House to see Caroline licking up trash from what looked to be a party. The saw the blond take a sip from a cup before throwing it away. The Mikaelson couple shared a look before silently entered the room. Caroline didn't notice them, continuing to clean.

"Desperate times, I take it?" Klaus said, referring to Caroline's drink a minute ago.

"What are you doing here?" Caroline didn't bother to look up at the couple. Lilith chuckled.

"Not judging you, for starters, although if you are determined to get drunk, then perhaps I might recommend something a little more sanitary?" Klaus offered, grinning widely. Caroline drains another cup and throws it defiantly into the bin she's carrying while staring directly at the hybrid. Lilith laughed a little to loud at that. Caroline smiled.

"Beautiful, Caroline. Show him." Lilith chuckled at Klaus' look before smiling at Caroline. The blond shook her head.

"Shouldn't you be out chasing Tyler to the ends of the earth? Or are there still some hopes and dreams you wanna crush around here?" Caroline wiped the smile from her face and turned away from the couple.

"Depends. Do you happen to know where the young Brutus is?"

"I know where he's not-- with me. And he gave Matt the deed to the house, so he's gone for good." Caroline tried to sound mad but they could clearly hear the sadness in her tone.
