The Hybrid's Wife

Chapter 1: Bringing out the Dead

KLAUS' MANSION

[Elijah is standing before Klaus, wiping the blood off his hands with a white handkerchief after killing Daniel.]

Elijah: You look surprised to see me. So it wasn't you that removed the dagger from my chest?

Klaus: You look like you could do with a drink. And we have a lot to discuss, so shall we?

[Elijah attacks him. Klaus flies through a window.]

Klaus: Easy. I just finished renovating.

[Klaus rushes at Elijah and Elijah crashes into a table, breaking it.]

Klaus: You know you have every right to be mad at me. But I kept my word, I reunited you with our family.

[Elijah attacks him again, and Klaus is knocked against a coffin. He opens the one next to it, undaggers Kol who is lying inside, rushes to Elijah and holds him against a closed coffin by his throat. He holds the dagger up threateningly.]

Klaus: Don't make me do this to you again Elijah!

Elijah: Come on. Use it. I dare you. You'll have Kol to deal with.

[Klaus lowers the dagger.]

Klaus: Mikael is dead.

[Klaus releases his grip and Elijah stands up, surprised.]

Elijah: What did you say?

Klaus: I killed him. With his weapon. He's gone Elijah. Forever.

Elijah: Why do our family remain in these coffins? Finn for over 900 years, Kol for over a century. Your wife for 90 years.

Klaus: Because of Stefan Salvatore. He holds the one thing keeping me from freeing them. There are things that you do not know about our past, Elijah. Our mother's death. Things I never wanted you to know but I'm ready to tell you now. I only ask that you remember the oath of loyalty you once swore to me.

Elijah: If you meant that brother you would tell me why you daggered her.

[Elijah points to a heavily decorated coffin with the words 'My Love' engraved on its side]

Klaus: Stefan Salvatore, that's why.

[Klaus goes to a small table where there is a small urn and removes the lid. He dips the dagger inside and then walks over to Kol's coffin.]

Elijah: What are you doing?

[Klaus daggers Kol again.]

Klaus: Always and forever. I need you to stand by my side. Be my brother. Help me destroy Stefan and I promise you our family will be whole again.

[Klaus closes Kol's coffin lid.]

OLD LOCKWORD CELL

[Bonnie looks at the signs of Klaus' family.]

Bonnie: Is this the only grimoire you kept?

Abby: It was the only one I needed. So...what is all of this?

Bonnie: Family history. About a mother, who loved her children so much, she couldn't bear the thought she might lose them. So she turned them into vampires. One of them is Klaus.

Abby: What about that

[Abby points to what looks like a figure separate from the family]

Bonnie: I'm not completely sure but according to this, the mother loved her daughter-in-law and didn't want her to be mortal while her husband was immortal so she turned her into a vampire. She's Klaus' wife.
