It's been 5 years since Elena died. Five long years and Klaus hasn't been doing to good. Stuck down in the basement all alone is practically driving him insane. He knows that all he has to do is make it out alive to Hayley enough time to cure his family. He didn't really care if he lived or died but them, his siblings he did care about. While he was going insane the love of his life was making deals on the other side.
