Maeve and Damon became quite the friends when she took on him on the night of the founder's day amongst other rabid vampires. Damon was shocked to say the least when she took on him as easily as she did.

Maeve sat on the couch inside the Salvatore boarding house. "Why am I here again?" she asked Damon who walked into the room holding two glasses.

"Because..." He gave her a glass and sat on the arm of the couch, "Rose──your kidnapper is here."

"Why?"

"She wants to talk. About this Elijah dude." Damon rested a hand on the back of the couch. "How are you? After yesterday."

"Sleep deprived." Maeve laughed taking a sip of the bourbon.

"Tell me something...how'd you know Elijah was one of the originals?"

Maeve clicked her tongue tilting her head up to look at the raven haired vampire, "I speak vampire." Damon laughed looking away at Maeve's words.

"That was not funny."

"Why'd you laugh?" She asked raising a single eyebrow. Damon stood up and walked to the fire place, "what else do you know about him?"

"Let's see..." Maeve thought, "original. One of them. Oldest vampires. Stronger than anyone else."

"One of them?"

"There's another....I think, I'm a little mushy." Maeve confessed. "he──I think...I mean what I know, is that he's more dangerous."

"She's not wrong." commented Rose announcing her presence. "The other one, Klaus he is a real deal."

"Hey kidnapper, how's freedom?" Maeve seethed sarcastically.

"It's not been how I expected it to be." Rose confessed softly. Maeve sighed, "well, atleast now you won't look over your shoulder always."

"Thank you." Rose smiled, "and sorry I called you a big mouth."

"You called her that?" Damon reiterated, "not that it isn't true." Maeve's jaw fell open. "You son of a bitch!"

"Shhhh! Don't cuss." Damon pressed a finger to his lips mockingly.

Before their conversation could proceed, Stefan and Elena walked inside the room. Elena sat in front of Maeve, "morning Elena."

"Morning Maeve." she smiled.

"Rose, If you could..." Stefan asked her.

"Okay, you have to understand I only know what I've picked up over the years and I don't know what's true and what's not true. It's the problem with all this vampire crap but Klaus, I know he's real."

"Who is he?"

"He's one of the originals, he's a legend."

"From the first generation of vampires."

"Like Elijah?" Elena asked.

"No. Elijah was the Easter bunny compared to Klaus. He's a foot soldier. Klaus is the real deal."

"Klaus is known to be the oldest." added Maeve.

"Okay, so you're saying that the oldest vampire in the history of time is coming after me?"

"Yes."

"No." Rose and Stefan said in unison.

"What they're saying is, I mean if what she's saying is true..." Damon began but Rose cut him off, "Which it is."

"And you're not saying it so I don't kill you." Damon snarkily spoke.

"Which I'm not." Rose admonished, making Damon roll his eyes before saying, "Then we're looking at a solid maybe."
