I come downstairs to find Klaus finishing a painting as Stefan walks into the doorway. "Didn't think I'd see you here," I say looking to Stefan.
"Looks like a giant snowflake," Stefan says looking at Klaus' painting.
"I prefer to think of it as an expression of post-modernism. It's my donation to the Winter Wonderland Charity Event," Klaus says.
"It's a giant snowflake," I say as a hybrid walks in.
"You said it was urgent?" He asks.
"Yes. Take this to the Mystic Grill immediately," Klaus says.
"You want me to be a delivery guy?" The hybrid asks.
"What I want is for you to do whatever I say, without the attitude," Klaus says before the hybrid takes the painting. "And be careful with that. It's still wet," Klaus says.
"Abraham Lincoln freed the slaves, you know," Stefan says.
"What is the point of my hybrids being sired to me if I can't maximize on the benefits of free labor?" Klaus says.
"Or you're just lazy," I snicker.
"What are you doing here?" Klaus asks Stefan.
"Elena is sired to Damon," Stefan says as the information reaches me for the first time.
"I intuited as much," Klaus says.
"Which means I need to find the cure now more than ever, and here you are making post-modern snowflakes," Stefan says.
"I've delivered. I retrieved the Hunter's sword from Italy. Which we'll use to decipher the map hidden in the hunter's mark. You're the one who's supposed to deliver the hunter and his mark," Klaus says.
"Well, Jeremy is the hunter and he has to keep killing vampires to complete his mark, but we can't quite figure out how to keep him from killing us," Stefan explains.
"Sounds like quite the chore, which is why I feel perfectly justified in doing a little charity work," Klaus says.
"Charity work?" I chuckle.
"Or maybe you're lying about having found the sword," Stefan suggests.
"Why would I lie to you, Stefan? We're in this together," Kalus says moving to a safe in another room. He opens it and takes a sword out. "The hilt acts as a cipher which we'll use to decode the marks on Jeremy's tattoo when he's killed enough vampires to complete it," Klaus says setting the sword down and sitting on a couch. Stefan examines the sword and its symbols.
"Alright. You boys have fun with your toy. I promised Caroline I'd help with set up...again. I'll probably see you both later," I say about to head out.
"Love?" Klaus says stopping me.
"Yessss," I say turning back around.
"Make sure you're back before the event starts. I want to take you there myself," Klaus says.
"Al--right. Sure," I say confused, and leave the house. I head over to the town square to see what was left to do since I had actually slept in and arrived late. Thankfully there wasn't much left, just setting up the events snack table. And Thankfully Caroline wasn't too mad. Since the event started fairly early in the day, I finished setting up and head back to Klaus' house. I showered and got into a red dress, trying to be a little festive.
