It was a beautiful day, as Elena walked into the kitchen. Alaric was already up.849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXkoFC4hf0
"Morning," she greeted him.849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP78BoZVAe9
"Thought we had aspirin," Alaric said, searching for some in a cupboard.849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHeijM6AgoA
"Yeah, with the vitamins. You're hung over."849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdasGMOsY3F
"Yeah, sorry about that, it was a bit of a weird night."849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZhBxZ3yTk
"I told you you don't have to feel guilty about inviting Meredith over here."849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4pBc10xqNR
"Oh I know. And I thank you for that. But I feel guilty for whiskey dialing her two in the morning."849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mpS5VaihV
"No you didn't."849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1euitrEmvQ
"Yes I did."849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONWbVBv9uh
"Oh, was she cool about that?"849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84LuZN3rXR
"Well, as soon as the aspirin kicks in and I remember the conversation I'll let you know."849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9W0Aspfxt
Just then, the doorbell rang.849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQq8pe0fs1p
Elena opened the door to see Sheriff Forbes on the porch.849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuiKb1EeBz2
"Sheriff Forbes, hi. Is everything ok?"849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5TwjyT59SQ
She closed the door behind herself to talk to her on the porch with Alaric beside her.849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQaiZ01uVg
"This is an unconventional conversation we're about to have. So I hope you'll protect me on it," she replied.849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcv3HQptVw
"Of course," Alaric responded.849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgkRvq6BQc
"I assume you both heard our medical examiner was murdered the night of the Whickery bridge fund raiser."849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNc4raDRnEK
"Yeah. Brian Walters. Why?" Alaric answered.849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMX0d6N4KpT
"We've been investigating. Someone drove this stake through his heart."849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKJ9YxD9QM
Liz held up a plastic bag with a stake inside it.849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapUQTNq81A
"That's one of ours. I mean this is one a set from your parents' lake house," Alaric said.849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptQqBq7M2N
"That's why i'm here. I haven't told anyone but forensics scrutinized it for prints and found only one set."
Liz looked at Elena.849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4PU3ciqLn
"Yours."849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfRuLfExO8
"What?" Elena questioned.
Damon Salvatore walked through a meadow in the woods, talking on his cell phone with Elena.849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRivbyX1rFb
"So you're the prime suspect, huh?"849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIoHlSyujLm
"She doesn't think that I did it. She's just trying' to find out why somebody used one of my family weapons to kill a council member," Elena replied.849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMgj9QKzRj
"Well why don't you just ask Ric if his dirty little doctor had access to the weapons," Damon said.849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU45QkyZgUN
"You're on speaker phone, dick," Alaric interjected.849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMEckcqzwy
"I'm just sayin' first suspect she's the right one. Don't get so defensive," Damon explained.849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXi2mNRIvxg
"Brian Walters was killed days ago, right? I didn't show Meredith this stuff until last night!" Alaric said.849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0tGiRUvSW
"It wasn't Meredith," Elena said.849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbRMMQzEAO
"But Brian Walters was her ex-boyfriend and Ric saw them fighting that night," Damon replied.849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAiconnxdj
"It's not Meredith! Okay? I refuse to believe that your luck with women is that tragic," Elena responded.849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfaQGuQNOzr
"Who else knows about your secret slayer stash?" Damon asked.849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1HhvfCGpiL
"A dozen. I got weapons everywhere, here, the school, my loft, your car."849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcElR2awI8U
"It's Klaus. It has to be, he's screwing with us," Damon replied.849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3BC9523DO
"What if it was Stefan?" Elena asked. "He was crazy that night, and you know he was trying to get under Klaus' skin, he was capable of pretty much anything."849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8C3KRymHn
"Ahh, makes me nostalgic for the time Stefan was a bunny snacking pacifist, anyway got to go, tomorrow later."849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBPb27T6fC
"Hey, where are you?" Alaric asked him.
"Tea with an old friend," Damon replied.849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNeTwPpTlk
Damon hung up.849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZxHz92UW0
"Elijah, my favorite Original, back from the dead. Clean up nice."849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNboM5Oa0o
"You left something in my jacket pocket," Elijah said, a piece of paper in hand.849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5PGVmILp6
"Oh, yeah, "Dear Elijah, let's get together, thought of the destruction of your brother, XOXO."849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbpBAp0Lyq
"Damon."849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0k5GjCw4IR
"Was I right to undagger you or do we have a problem?"849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSV3pKzqKlj
"I'm here, let's talk."849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2nbG7apOIS
"I'll start with an easy question, any idea why Klaus' killing weapon would be magically sealed in a mystery coffin."
Elijah opened the door to Klaus' house, Stefan and Damon with him.849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkeRoARbvOM
"Niklaus, our guests have arrived," Elijah announced.849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8A9ZLC1TOM
"Damon. Stefan. Elijah tells me, you seek in audience. Very bold. Let's discuss the terms of our agreement like civilized men, shall we?"849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6gjX8Hit1
"It's better to indulge him," Elijah told the Salvatores.849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZ5UCIIJHF
"I didn't come here to eat, Klaus. Fact, I didn't want to come here at all. But I was told, I had to cause you would hear our sound," Stefan told Klaus.849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3UmyhIS7ib
"Well, we can sit and eat or I can reach down your throats and pull out your insides. The choice is yours," Klaus replied.849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxVrVIJ8h7
Everyone but Stefan ate at the table.849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizUj2DYGXJ
"You lost your appetite," Klaus said.849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2sUQ0Mbi3
"Eat. I thought we agreed to leave grumpy Stefan at home," Damon said.849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsY0Ii01gp
"Isn't it nice? The four of us dining together? Is it that was you had in mind when you pulled the dagger from my brother," Klaus said.849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoyKT2N6Lj8
"Oh no...I felt about you so...I figured the more the merrier!" Damon rejoindered.849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44pKHUAb1M
"Elijah and I we have our quarrels over the centuries but we always make it through."849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRB2oz6z59
"Kinda like you and Rebekah right? Where is she by the way? Last I checked she was daggered because you were afraid to face her," Stefan retorted.849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4Geji9bpK
"If you are referring to the fact that Rebekah knows that I killed our mother i've already come clean to Elijah."849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEL6152citE
"Hey Stef remember when you killed dad? Might wanna doubt on the judgment desert," Damon told his brother.849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUersRB5FuH
"We're here to make a deal Damon. That doesn't mean we have to kiss his butt for seven courses."849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFqBFaxrnG
"I'm just saying we have a long evening ahead of us, face yourself," Damon answered.849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9KxD3BuwJ
"Stefan, where is the lovely Elena tonight?" Elijah asked.849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncZdJqou4R
"I don't know ask Damon."849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3GNsBMcvx
Klaus laughed.849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Oi1jcsDOM
Elijah looked surprised.849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTWObTg236
"I'm sorry you missed so much. Ahh...trouble in paradise."849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHDBiyXh6R
"One more word about Elena and this dinner is over," Stefan commented.849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBzh8Vrc1i
"You know what probably it's best just to keep Elena in the Do Not Discuss pile," Damon interjected.849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5WACKC9wh
"You're probably right," Klaus agreed. "It's just the lure of the Petrova doppelgänger is still so strong. What do you say brother? Should we tell them about Tartia?"849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7MZ80auDQ3
"No, why should we discuss matters long since resolved?"849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvU3XMCy7e
"Oh, give them both a shared attraction for Elena and Katerina I think they must be curious to learn about the originated of the Petrova line."849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJrssG6fgB
"We're not going anywhere Elijah. Please! Do tell," Damon rebutted.849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhk9sxciaqS
"When our family first settled here, there was a girl named Tartia. She was an exquisite beauty. Every boy her age desired to be her suitor; even though she'd had a child by another man. And no one loved her more than Klaus," Elijah explained.849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZlkTUwftp
"Ah, I said there's one who loved her just as much."849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCX0pEOvV7E
"Wait a minute, so you both loved the same girl?" Stefan asked.849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiiiLnahvC6
"Our mother was a very powerful witch," Elijah explained. "She saw our love for Tatia and she took her. Klaus and I would later learn that it was Tatia's blood that we consumed in the wine of the night when our mother performed a spell which turned us into vampires. Tatia wouldn't make a decision between the two of us so for a time Niklaus and I grew estranged harsh truth traded we even came to blows. Didn't we, brother?"849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgw3dxOQEz7
"But in the end we recognized the secret bond of family."849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NJW1EVti0
"Family of paver," Elijah said, raising a glass.849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPC9KVNJCUr
"Family of paver," Klaus echoed.849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYQTm41aQ9
"So what do we look at this evening along and discuss the terms of this proposal," Elijah announced.849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vyrpRbtjO
"That's very simple. Klaus gets his coffin back and exchange he and the original extended family leave mystic falls forever. Me, Stefan and Elena live happily ever after. No grudges," Damon replied.849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRyvakzw8sI
"Sounds fair," Elijah commented.849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzT3bi2hx9
"I don't think you understand Elena's doppelgänger blood ensures that I will always have hybrids to fight those that abode me. I will never leave her behind. Well say I do leave her and you protect her and what then? How long until one of you turns her into a vampire? Or worse. How long before she dies? Count between you two. You see each one of you believes that he is the one that can protect her. Nice simply at the illusion. Gentlemen. The worst thing for Elena Gilbert is the two of you."849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpqHtJJ2Jw
"I'm gonna get some air," Damon said.849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vpCLKdLhm
"I'll deal with this," Elijah responded.849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlAof5xEmsA
"And this talk has made me thirsty. What do you say Stefan? Can I interest you with my love to do a drink?" Klaus asked, as Damon and Elijah stepped out.849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYZaMsha49
Klaus fed from a girl's neck.
He finished and she dropped to the floor dead.849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxPMGBxEU0
"Delicious," Klaus commented.849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡliat0QA5VH
"Well...I guess the only reason you agreed to this evening, Klaus is to try and watch me and my brother," Stefan said.849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUCrzjuNSU
"I know you didn't have well enough for your own. Because of Elena you're going to lose your brother and you only have yourself to blame."849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOxCuQHngr
"What do you say, Klaus. I'm here to put something on the table. We've made our offer. Now you count on," Damon said, coming back in with Elijah.849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWabsPU3IIA
"Okay. I offer Elena's future happiness, you see what she needs right now is to be rid of you lot, and to fall in love with a human, maybe that football player."849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQaC2LNjWF
"Matt Donovan? Really?" Damon said.849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUAJAw3Iwq
"Yeah. Why not? They marry, live a long life and make a family."849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUdvuE6Mrj
"And continue the Petrova bloodline, every few hundred years you'll have a doppelgänger for you to drain and you never run out of hybrids, right Klaus?" Stefan said.849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0FEBfvrR9
"Consider it a small return on my investment in her well-being. See after you hand me back the coffin, I'll ensure her safety for the rest of her natural life, you know it's what's best for her."849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsIhvUtGgX
"So what do you say, Stefan? Do we have a deal?"849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8UhsyTt91
They walked towards each other.849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkktMcAm5g
"What are you doing?" Damon asked.849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0Jdhgqsis
Klaus held his hand out and Stefan took it.849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zdfFUDk0g
"Nice try, Klaus, but no deal."849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Zn7C3Z3Ln
Klaus grabbed Stefan's arm and held his hand in the fireplace in the fire and his hand started to burn.849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxR3XqqMPlt
Damon rushed over and through him away.849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4O36A5Li3C
Stefan got to his feet.849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFz9zXguIct
"What do you think you're doing?" Damon asked Klaus.849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4uUhkShvX
"Since we don't have a deal, let's make a new one. Give me the coffin or I'll burn him alive."849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxTgIn7CuZ
"Why don't you go ahead and kill me now? We both know you'll do it anyway once you have your coffin."
"Because that would take all the fun out of it."849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXxqpsYKiS
Elijah walked in with Rebekah.849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1yG5feTot
"What have you done?" Klaus asked Elijah.849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPN3zqAGT70
"What have you done? I've learned now to trust in your promises, Klaus."849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOCQL4Vbjl
Rebekah walked up to Klaus and stabbed him with a dagger.849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJtB8lK6VQ
"This is for mother."849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfmtKhIIK5D
Elijah had a dagger too.849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7aCsGVOjf
Just then, their mother came in and walked up to him.849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3i7PSrOJ3c
"Do you know why I'm here?"849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKUX7UUpUN
"To kill me."849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Tp9NVCmJQ
Stefan and Damon watched from the sidelines as a family brawl fell into place.849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47Y737wMCQ
"I'm here to forgive you," their mother replied and then left the room.849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxO1LpXjFSR
Elijah stabbed his brother.849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbrBnQf0La
"See you in the next century or two."849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tD5VlMLoK
The Salvatores left.
Damon and Stefan walked through the woods that night.849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevo1DDHy9Z
"You could've just left me to die there and you would've had Elena all to yourself. Why didn't you?" Stefan said.849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSyNZi1eJb
"I didn't do it on your account."849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3O3Mz7repp
"I love her, Damon."849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Yye79VKkC
"So do I."849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUY6NVR1PaN
Damon looked at him and then walked away.
