"I want to know everything" Claire snapped once Madelyn was asleep. Elijah and Claire were in her room. Her mother was asleep down the hallway and Claire was anxiously waiting another update from Caroline saying she was alright and not bitten by Tyler.
"Where would you like me to start?" Elijah said motioning for Claire to sit knowing it would be a long night. Elijah sits on the bed as well. He's in more comfortable clothes instead of his suit seeing as it is night and they would go to bed eventually.
"Why do you want to kill Klaus?" Claire whimpered sitting crossed legged on the bed. A pained look crossed Elijah's at the sound of her voice. He instinctively reaches out to comfort her but she shuffles out of reach. The pain on his face deepens while she gives him a pointed look to start explaining.
He sighs and shifts uncomfortably. He couldn't settle, he couldn't get comfortable not when he knows she's upset, specifically at him. He didn't like it. Then the fact that she refused to let him hold her or even touch her made it worse. He felt like he was seconds from going crazy, seconds from losing it. His instincts were to always protect her, to keep her close and to keep her happy. The distance between them, despite it not even being more than a few feet, if that, was too far for his liking and it was obvious she wasn't happy.
"Me and my family, the Original vampires, cannot be killed by a normal wooden stake. As you know, it only 'kills' us temporarily. Only a stake made from the white oak tree can kill us permanently. When we found this out, we burned the tree to the ground." Claire relaxed slightly at the information. "However, a silver dagger coated with white oak ash can neutralize us for as long as the dagger is in our hearts." Elijah paused to make sure she was following along. She nods not having any questions at the moment. Elijah continues. "Klaus has a habit of daggering us and keep us in a coffin for as long as he sees fit. At the moment he has my brother Finn and Kol along with my sister Rebekah all daggered and in coffins."
"He daggers you?" Claire asked frowning her eyebrows. He nods. "For how long?" She wonders.
"For as long as he wishes. Finn has been daggered for almost 900 years" Elijah tells her. Claire's eyes practically pop out of her head.
"What gives him the right to take their lives away like that?" Claire snapped.
"It's his way of keeping the family together. Whenever one threatened to leave or was causing too much attention, he would dagger them." Elijah explains.
"Cause too much attention? Why would that matter?" Claire questioned. Elijah sighed.
"Our father, Mikael, is an Original Vampire like me and my siblings. He spends his immortal life hunting Niklaus. He wishes to kill him. When we were turned, we swore a vow 'Always and Forever'. Though only Rebekah, Niklaus and I seem to take the oath seriously. Every so often, Mikael would find us. We would have to run. Kol was usually the one who would make a scene wherever we went. He is the most bloodthirsty out of all of us. He has turned the most vampires and no doubt has killed the most as well. Klaus has daggered and undaggered Kol more times than any of us."
