Coney's in another one of Elijah's dreams, who's chasing a young Klaus through the woods.

"You cannot catch me, Elijah!" A young Klaus says.

"You're getting faster, Klaus, but you are not yet fast enough!" A young Elijah says. Coney had to admit, he was adorable.

Klaus giggles as he continues to run through the forest, his voice echoing through present-day Coney's head. Suddenly, Klaus disappears, and Elijah stops in the middle of a small clearing. "Klaus? Niklaus?" Elijah calls. He looks around him until an older, deeper voice calls out to him. It's present-day Elijah, his face and suit splattered in blood. Thunder and lightning crack above them.

"There you are," The older Elijah says. Adult Elijah approaches Young Elijah, who is getting more scared by the moment. "Do you understand?" Adult Elijah places his hand on the back of Young Elijah's head as his vampire-face comes out. "One day, only a monster shall remain." Frightened, Young Elijah grabs his hatchet from his waist, and though Adult Elijah dodges it at first, he's eventually hit in the shoulder with it.

Coney gasps awake, and she sits up in her bed, panting and sweating. She gets up and changes her clothes. Why was she seeing these things? What made her do this? Was she linked to Elijah? SHe never felt anything that would make her think that.

"Please Elijah, if you can hear me, listen to my voice listen to my words. Know that I love you. I will always love you," Coney says.

Elijah lays on his bed in the compound, still asleep as he was when he was rescued. He's breathing erratically, covered in a thin sheen of sweat, and his muscles are tense, as though he's being overwhelmed by fear. Klaus stands over him and talks to him, his voice echoing through Elijah's head. In Elijah's dream, he pulls the hatchet out of his shoulder, but Young Elijah runs away before he can catch him.

"I know you are locked in battle, however deep in your mind our mother has set the stage. Hear my voice," Klaus says. Elijah twitches anxiously in his sleep. "Our mother thinks she will win because she has left you alone, but you are not alone. Let me in." Klaus puts one hand on his head, and one hand on his chest, hoping to gain entry into Elijah's mind. Elijah's body goes rigid as though he's been shocked and Elijah's muscles begin to seize and spasm painfully. "Let me help end whatever torment she has forced upon you." Klaus' nose begins to bleed, and he gets glimpses of the dreams Elijah has been having. Klaus groans in pain as he continues to try to break through, but he's quickly ripped off of Elijah by Coney.

"What are you doing?" Coney asks.

Klaus, startled, pants in an attempt to catch his breath as he wipes the blood from his nose. "I'm trying to enter Elijah's thoughts to wake him," Klaus says. He gestures to Elijah, who is still sleeping fitfully. "Esther's locked me out."

Coney walks over to Elijah, noticing a flower petal-shaped wound on his neck. "Is this rash a side effect of the witchy acid trip he's on?" Coney asks.

Klaus frowns and returns to Elijah's bedside to examine the wound more carefully. "I haven't seen this since I was a child. Mikael would return home from battle more blindly temperamental than usual, and our mother would use the petals of a rare merlock orchid to put him to sleep. She would mend his mind with a spell, and then wake him with the roots of the same plant," He says. He turns to Coney, looking hopeful. "If she has access to it now, then maybe it also grows in the Bayou. You stay here with Hayley and her wolves and mind the fort."
