"Who is he?" Claire asks observing the man in front of her. He's shackled to a tall piece of wood dated back a few centuries. One of Klaus's sentimental forms of torture Claire presumes.
"He is the hunter that's been causing all this trouble" Elijah explains to her while making sure the hunter is tightly secured. The only ones in the room are Elijah, herself and Kol. Klaus is off healing Rebekah, Finn is cooking lunch while watching Madelyn and Henrik got roped into cleaning up the party Rebekah had thrown. As Claire had predicted, Hanna was not happy with the fact a party had been thrown in her home.
"Why's he here?" Claire asks wondering what was so important about him that he's here and not dead. Kol wraps an arm around her shoulder and chest pulling her back against him. Her hand raises and caresses his forearm.
"Because Niklaus and I found that this is not your typical hunter." Elijah says stepping away from the man once he is secured to his satisfaction. "In fact, he is part of The Five" Kol tenses at the name. Claire leans back against him more while giving his forearm a comforting squeeze.
"What does that mean?" Claire asks.
"Why don't we talk about this somewhere else?" Kol speaks up wanting Claire nowhere near the hunter. Elijah agrees motioning for them to head towards the door. Kol drops his arm and grabs her hand. She follows him but gives the mysterious hunter another glance.
They head into the kitchen where Claire sees Finn and Madelyn. She smiles at her daughter giving her a kiss on top of the head. She then gives Finn a short kiss before looking to Elijah for an explanation.
"The Five is a group of hunters that have a more... supernatural ability. Their faster and stronger than your average vampire." Elijah explains to her. "We first came across them in Italy, 12th century. They weren't exactly hiding their quest to rid the world of the vampires."
"What happened?" Claire questions sitting beside Madelyn. She keeps her attention on Elijah but begins to feed her daughter some lunch.
"Rebekah fell in love with one of them." Elijah tells her. "And he stung her along. Somehow he found out about what we are and knew we weren't normal vampires. He and the others had a weapon that couldn't kill us but subdue us."
"The daggers" Claire realizes. Elijah nods.
"They were the first ones to dagger us. They started with Rebekah and then the rest of us." Finn clenches his jaw as he remembers the events. "But the daggers don't work on Niklaus, they didn't know that."
"He killed them" Claire correctly assumes. Elijah nods confirming her assumption. Kol smirks slightly.
"Got a nasty little curse because of it." Kol mentioned. Claire glances at him. "If a vampire kills one of the Five then the ghost of said hunter haunts the vampire that kills them."
